POLITICAL ROTTENNESS

John W. Weeks said sometime ago..
in speech at Cleveland, Ohio. THE.
Legislative branch of our government
probably never has been at lower
ebb than it is today
Julius Kahn, chairman of the mill
tary affairs committee of the lower,
house of congress, said in speech at
New York, Il have never known the
time when the mental makeup of the.
house of representatives was SO low as
it is today
Seldom is inside information allow
ed to get past the doors. The testi-
mony of these two prominent cid party
politicians is invaluable-on the same:
theory upon which a court witness
testimony is considered good when he
testifies against his own interest.

POLITICAL GRAFT FUNDS

Washington.-When Secretary Fall

the Teapot Dome oil reserve to the
Sinclair petroleum interests he tapped
a gusher which has filled the Repub-
lican campaign treasury to overflow
ing.
As recently as six weeks ago the
Republican national congressional
committee was short of funds. To-
day its treasurer can write checks with
free hand and ship the big guns of
partisan oratory from one point to an
other on the electoral battle line.

Belleville. Ill.-A case of alleged
broad daylight robbery is being tried

treasurer of the St. Claire Coal &
Mining Co., is charged jointly with his
father, Frederick W. Klein, president
of the company. and M. B. Rosenheim
former weight clerk for the city water
department, with obtaining money I'M
der false pretenses in conspiring to fall
sify weights of carload lots of coal de-
livered at the water plant.
The case on trial, which is based on
several indictments, involves the alleg-
ed overweighing of cars during the
period from December "a, 1918, to
January 10. 1919, by which it Is alleg-
ed, the city was charged for 100000

VICTIMS OF ALLIED CRIMES

New York.-More than 100000
persons in desperate need of help from
outside Russia to see them through the
coming winter. and 100000 famine
orphans" who must be cared for even
longer. Such is the gist of the report
on the 1922 Russian famine situation
made by Capt. Paxton Hibben. re-
Gently back from Russia. to the Amer
lean Committee for Relief of Russian
Children.
The causes for this years after
math of the great famine, according to
the report of the Russian Commission
of the Near East Relief, operated in
1921, and it may be said that they are
certain to be the reasons of another
crop shortage in Russia next year I'M
less the economic reasons that have
produced these results are remedied.
These economic reasons are:
I'D Shortage of seed grain for
both spring and fall planting.
"(2) Lack of draft animals and
agricultural machinery to till the soil.
Hibben's report calls for continued
and even larger support of the work
of the American Committee for Relief
of Russian Children, the headquarters
Of which is at 10 W. 10th ST., New
York City.
In respect to the work of this COM
mittee it may be mentioned that no
overhead whatever is charged
against contributions in the distribu-
ton of supplies in Russia.
The fate of the child victims of the
famine, he declares, is by far the most
element in the whole stu
alton. He appends to his report a
photograph of woman who was con-
victed of cannibalism. Her husband
had died, and she used his flesh to
feed her children.

IIRREGULARITY OF THE
AMERICAN COURTS
(By The Federated Press)
(By Paul Hanna)

Washington.-Secreatry of War
Weeks must appear in court November
9, and show cause why Antoni Kara
cbun should not be freed from the 70
year sentence he is now serving for
de3ertion from the American army.
Karachun is a citizen of Russia, and
he was seized by the American forces
on Russian soil, although the United
States has never declared a state of
war against Russia. To hold Kara
chun legally Secretary Weeks must
persuade the supreme court of the
District of Columbia that Uncle Sam
has a right to invade friendly coun-
try, seize its citizens and bring them
back for Imprisonment in America.
Weeks must prove still more to the
court. Karachun came to the United
States before the war. During the
war he enlisted in the American army
to fight. as he supposed, against Ger
many. Instead of going to Europe for
that purpose, Karachun was sent with
the American expedition which invad-
ed Siberia, and there ordered to fight
against his own countrymen.
This test of the governments right
to violate all laws in time of war is be-
gun simultaneously with the recovery
Of all Siberia by the Russian revolu-
tionary armies which this country and
he allied powers aimed to Illustrate
BY invading it as friends of the Rus
sian people. "

THE DEVIOUS WAYS OF
MALICIOUS PERSECUTION

New York.-Efforts to discover by
what authority the department of JUS
tice directed federal agents to conduct
the raid and prepare evidence against
the Communists seized at Bridgeman,
Mich, in August and now held for
trial under the state criminal syndic-
alism act, have been unsuccessful, the
American Civil Liberties union an
nounces, after correspondence with
the attorney general.
The organization protested to the
attorney general against the depart
ment's participation when there is no
federal statute authorizing them to
make arrests under state laws, and
when the appropriations granted to
the department cover only the en-
forcement of federal laws.
The union is preparing to raise the
issue of the participation of the depart
ment of justice in this raid at the
hearings in congress in December.
which will be held on the impeachment
resolution brought against the attor-
ney general.

THE SINISTER VACCINATIONS
OF RUTHLESS PROFITEERS

Berlin, Germany.-There is a per-
sistent rumor m Berlin to the effect
THAT the, recent colossal drop in the
mark, by which for a time one could
buy 1900 marks for the dollar, while
its former worst position had been
800, was engineered by big business
for no other purpose than ito show
labor its place."
The theory is advanced that, by
dropping the mark so low, the manu-
facturers, dealers in the necessaries of
life, and business men in general could
fix their prices at three to four times
their former height; that this would
affect labor SO directly and immediate
ly that workers, out of fear of losing
their jobs and thereby being deprived
even of their starvation wages, would
the more readily accept the dictates of
the bosses; and that then, after the
mark had been allowed to climb again,
these prices would still be maintained.
The rumor at first seemed absurd.
Yet things are happening daily which
would seem to bear out the theory.
For one thing, the mark has risen
again. From 1900 to the dollar it
rose to only 1850 or 1900. In other
words. the mark, measured in foreign
exchange, is worth double what it was
during the closing days of August. But
the cost of the necessities of life has
not dropped accordingly. On the con-
trary. prices today reflect the panic
of the 2600-to-the dollar days.

COAL MINERS SHOULD
CONTROL COAL MINES
BY The Federated Press)

Sydney, N. S. Wales. : Let those,
who work the mines control them" is
the slogan now gaining weight through
Australia. There seems to be detln~-
lite belief in the minds of the majority
of the people of that country that coal
mining should be a public utility, in
common with other services, and out
side the absolute control of a hand
full of wealthy coal operators.
A. c. Willis. general secretary, Aus
traIasian Coal and Shale Employees
federation, which covers all coal and
shale workers on the Australian contln~
ent, holds that the miners, including
managers and technical men, are en-
titled to, and should control the mines
Control by the miners, says Will
lis. "does not mean that the employees
should own the mines for the purpose
of exploiting them in their own inter-
ests only. Control, as we take 1t, must
be taken to mean control by the man
agement and the men acting IN mar
monv to achieve the best results tor
themselves and the general community
under the best conditions the industry
can afford with a minimum expendl-
ture of human energy,
81 do not think control OF the mines
bv the miners would be possible under
Dyivate ownership-that is, unless a
collective contract could be made with
he present owners under which the
miners, as a whole, would undertake to
produce coal into cars at the colhery
siding at price per ton, and the own
er would undertake to provide the nc
esary capital fer the successful work
ing of the nine. =,
Under a proposal of this kind tie
fixing and adjustment of rates to pay
the various classes of labor would be
in the hands of the workers. 1t would
also mean that the employers organl-
cation would pay to the employees
one check for the total
output. This proposal if given a tar
trial, would be infinitely preferable to
the present system.
1T would practically abolish sec
tional strikes because the onus of adj
iusting local differences would be en-
pirely in the hands of the employees and
# they struck it you'd be against them
selves. With the miners controlling
he mines a spirit of cooperation
would replace the present spirit of hos
.ility, with incalcuIable benefit to the
general community.
