CONIPERS AMUSED
AT LOREE'S PLANS
OF COMPANY UNION
Veteran Labor Leader De-
clares Humor Will Win
Rail Strike.
CALLS 1T "BY-PLAY"
Declares Such Organization
Would Be Directed by
Wall Street.

Commenting upon the statements
made by l. F. Loree. president Of
the Delaware and Hudson and chair
man of the Eastern Presidents Con-
ference. Sampel Gompers, president
Of the American Federation of La
Dor. said:
Mr.. Loree's statements are in
teresting. Some of the railroad
workers have said that humor will
win the strike. i am free to say
there Is much in Mr.. Loree's state
ment that is humorous. He appar-
emily believes the people of our
country are credulous.
But the more serious side of
the situation is the proof which Mr.
Loree's words offer of the truth of
the declarations that we have made
as to the real issues involved in
the strike.
Anxious to End Strike
Most railroad executives are
anxious to settle the strike by ne
gotiations with the workers. They
are restrained by a few. Western
and Mid-western lines are practi-
ing presence of a small group of
Eastern executives and these East
ern executives who dominate are
what We may well call Wall Street
trustees-they manage in the in
terest of the great financial powers
Transportation is secondary in
Importance with these powers, ,fnan-
cial operations are of paramount
Importance. That is the key to the
present situation.
Mr.. Loree indicates a belief that
the strikebreakers now at work
Will be formed into unions to re-
place, bona fide unions. This re-
minds me of the silly errand of
Professor Garner, who went to
Africa to study the language Of the
monkeys. He speaks of numbers
of strike breakers employed and
says the roads are getting along
satisfactorily.
Says Action is "By Play.
of course that is a by-play. Such
unions would be about the last word
in company unions. They would
be cOmpany-owned organizations of
strike breakers Even if the plan
could be worked, which it cannot,
the enslavemen. involved would be
too APPARENT to be accepted by the
American people. The company
union has never been anything but
burlesque and a failure The
company union formed of strike
breakers would be something for
which we have yet no adequate
Characterization
The roads are not getting along
satisfactorily. They are in serious
condition. Rolling stock is rapidly
becoming useless. Trains are run
ming behind schedules. Annulled
trains are not being ordered back.
but more trains are being annulled
The strike is effective and it will
be effective Until the railroad man.

CHARGE HE CLAIMS
KIN WITH $3.50 ROLL

Lewis Webster, colored. of 1914
North Capitol street, was locked
up at the Second Precinct station
last night for investigation,
Webster appeared at the station
minute after Mamie Fowler. also
colored. Of 1725 Marion street. had
been taken there charged with be-
ing intoxicated. The man explained
that he was her brother and would
see that she got home safely II the
authorities would release her upon
payment of the fine.
At this moment Mamie's husband
appeared, denounced Webster as an
imposter and told the police to
search his wife. They did so and
found $3.50, which was regarded as
sufficient reason for Webster's
solicitousness.

Directing attention to the deluge of
municipal tax-free bonds, bankers
point to the oddly that while holdings
of liberty bonds are taxable after the
amount of the holdings pass certain
limits OF taxation-in other words the
income on millions of federal govern
ment bonds paying low rates of inter
est and issued to get money with
which to support the national arms is
taxable-while a sewer bond issued
by a city or village is taxable neither
as to its principal nor its interest.
There is another inequality between
the two classes of bonds that should
not be overlooked. It is found in the
fact that any money which a taxpayer
invested in liberty bonds after March
1 last year is subject to taxation this
year in Kansas, altho it may have
been returned as cash on hand, to the
assessor.
On the other hand. II similar in
vestment has been made in municipal
bonds. it becomes exempt from taxa
ton.
But these are only small items in
the bill of indictment that can justly
be framed against our tax laws.
There are many other grounds for
complaint, as for instance the mort
gage tax law which falls heavily on
the property owner who borrows
money on his farm or home. He is
taxed on the full value OF his prop
erty; he is taxed on his indebtedness
thru high interest rates, and he is
taxed on the proceeds of his loan if it
be invested in anything tangible as.
for instance. improvements.
While the taxpayers league is seek
ing a reduction of taxes, it should not
overlook the inequalities arising from
taxing the same dollar two or three
times, while so many other dollars
escape entirely.

In a review OF the accomplishments
Of the Harding administration by the
Republican Publicity association is
found the following: THE Republi-
can congress promptly repassed the
budget bill that Mr.. Hardins's prede-
cessor had vetoed" Why not stick
TO the truth? Enough can be said IA
vorable to the administration without
departing from the facts. The truth
is that the budget bill vetoed by Mr..
Wilson never was passed again in the
form in which il first reached him.
1t was changed in accordance with
the views he expressed in his veto
message.

LINE OF DEFENSE.

Republican leaders appear to be
uncertain regarding the future of the
proposed bonus legislation. But with
the possibility of its failure in view
they are baekfiring against a possible
charge that may be made of breach
of good faith. In this connection it is
pointed out that the Chicago platform
did not promise a bonus or adjusted
compensation in any form.
The soldier plank of the 1920 plat
form reads as follows:
We hold in imperishabie remem-
brance the vaior and the patriotism of
the soldiers and sailors of America
who fought in the great war for hui
man liberty, and we pledge ourselves
to discharge to the fullest the obliga-
lions which grateful nation justly
should fulfill, in appreciation of the
services rendered by its defenders on
sea and land.
Republicans are not ungratefuI
Thruout their history they have
shown their gratitude toward the ma
tons defenders. Liberal legislation
for the care OF the disabled and in
firm and their dependents has ever
marked Republican policy toward the
soldier and sailor of all the wars in
which our country has participated
The present congress has appropri-
aAI4 generously Lne asa DleQ OF
the World War. The amounts al
ready applied and authorized for the
fiscal year 192021 for this purpose
reached the stupendous sum of ST.
lSe,o7i,se3. This legislation is sig
nificant Of the party's purpose in gen
erously caring for the MANNED and
disabled men of the recent war.
That is all that was said on the sub
ject, and it may be noted that there
was not a word about a bonus or any
legislation whatever in behalf of any
except the infirm and disabled. The
Republican congress may pass a bo-
nus law and it may not. but whatever
it does, it Is pointed out, it will not
violate the platform pledges OF the
party.
The bonus bill as framed looks like
it is intended to benefit the banks
more than the soldiers.

yah, and remembered only themselves.
In forgetting Jehovah they also. as is
usual, forgot justice and the rights of
the poor. So they come under the
bliStering class indictment of the blaz-
ing-eyed workman prophet of God.
The appropriateness of this Amos
cially to the Lenten season, is nowhere
more manifest than in it's call to re-
pentance for having forgotten our So
cial solidarity-which is our obligation
to our neighbor-and our supreme 10y
atty to the living and ceaselessly-
watchfui God This is a day to lift
all our thinking TO new levels. We
must be mindful of the times and of
the world and of Jehovah.
Here is an ancient shepherd-laborer,
Amos, who shames us as citizens, by
the range of his intelligent interest in
the nations which made up the world
of his day. And he shames US also as
Christians by his profound sense of the
will and Justice of Jehovah as the
remedy for all that was amiss. Amos's
own lot was limited, but his life was
large-so large that he was the
bringer-in OF the idea of Jehovah as
the Lord of all nations; and as a Deity
who cares more for righteousness than
for ritual Amos seems to foreshadow
the familiar lines of Kipling:
.sThe tumult and the shouting dies,
The captains and the kings depart;
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice

The report comes from Washing
ton that the house is preparing to jam
the bankers bonus bill thru under
suspen sion Of the rules and let the
senate take all future responsibility
There seems to be little chance that
the bill in its present form can be en-
acted into law. 1t will find rough
shedding in the upper house and there
seems to be much doubt regarding
how the president would receive the
measure. When the bill reaches the
senate it will find the sales tax advo-
Gates under the leadership of Senator
Smoot still on the job. Thus it is that
the indications that there will be no
bonus legislation multiply from day
TO day. All thru the discussion there
has been apparent an effort to find
some good way not to do it. House
members are between two fires. They
will come up for reelection next fall.
If they fail to pass a bonus bill they
fear the condemnation of the service
men. If they pass a bonus bill they
fear the wrath OF the taxpayers. only
one-third of the senators come up for
recollection in November. and the
president not until 1924.
