letter from Bert M. Jewell. presi-
dent OF the Shop Crafts Union, in
answer to the boards action in
'outlawing" the six afriliated- shop
crafts unions, engaging In the
strike.
Not Fighting Board.
Jewell declared the 100000 shop
men on strike are not fightinr m.
board as the board claimed, but fre
engaged in a dispute with the rail-
roads. He asserted that the boards
outlaw" resolution was with the
railroads. He asserted that the
boards outlaw" resolution wa.
based on many Inaccurate state
ments. He also made the following
points:
l. The organized employees are mot
combating the Labor Board or the
government.
q The organized employees are en-
sased In dispute with the man
agements Of the railroads.
3. The Labor Board has failed in
It's effort to decide this dispute by
oeeyihs an agreement upon wages
and working conditions acceptable
to both parties,
4. There is nothing in any lawful
decision Of the board TO prevent such
an agreement being reached between
the carriers and their employees at
any time in the future.
D. The resolution adopted by the
board simply means that the board
has accepted its failure to bring about
an agreement and the acceptance of
that same fact by the employees can
not be honestly described as a fight
against the board.
8. The organized employees, in their
effort to maintain the American
standard Of living and to combat the
intention Of organized money power
to break down that standard, are up
holding and fighting for the institu-
tions which the government Of the
United States was ordained to protect
and to preserve.

Says Rail Strike Will Be

The next few days will begin

tion is even stronger than we had
hoped. There are very few roads
that have surplus engines AT the

There are between $4,000 and

that there was no important change
In the situation either locally or

INCOME SHRINKING

Slight prospect is seen by Senator
Capper Of Kansas. head of the Sem
ate farm bloc, for any marked re-
ductfons in governmental taxes and
expenditures in the next ten years.
He enumerates among the compare
lively small items which can be
eliminated such things as the distri-
button of free seeds by members of
Congress, the construction of new
public buildings and river and har-
Dor improvements.

ceed the governments income by
S5Oo.000.O00. because Federal rev.

"As calculated by Secretary Mel
lon. all the governments sources of

an era OF high taxes for Americans
would be a blessing in disguise.
That was before the war. I believed
high taxes would quicken the COM
ing of business-like administration
Of public affairs. local state and ma

The war has since brought the
high taxes, and with them the most
urgent need of economic and eff
cient manaEement in government
this country has ever known. But
we are not getting results from its
lessons In economies when Congress
unhesitatingly adds twenty four

sponsored by the majority must be
enforced. 1t does not matter who
opposes. II an opposing minority has
a just objection. the rising tide Of
public opinion will change the law.
There Is no abiding liberty under any
other plan.
I mean to sound no note of pessi-
mism. This republic is secure. Men
aces do arise, but public opinion will
efface them. Meanwhile, government
must repress them.
The Eighteenth amendment denies
to minority a fancied sense of per-
sonal liberty, but the amendment Is
the will Of America and must be sus-
tained by the government and pub
lie opinion Else contempt for the
law will undermine our very founoa
ton.
The foremost thought in the con-
stitution Is the right to freedom and
the pursuit of happiness. Men must
be free to live and achieve. Liberty
is done In America when any man is
denied by anybody the right to work
and live by that work. 1t does not
matter who denies. A free American
has the right to labor without any
others leave. 1t would be no less an

M'CUMBER MAY ASK
CLOTURE ON TARIFF
DEBATE In SENATE
North Dakotan Tired of
Explaining Bill to
Empty Seats.

Senator McCumber, in charge Of
the tariff bill. has in his pocket a
petition signed by some three score
Republicans who favor clamping
down cloture on the tariff debate.
The weary North Dakotan. who
has passed up and down the Sem
ate aisles for weeks pounding away
on the measure that marked the
climax of his political career.
doesn't know whether to attempt
the gag" rule or not. During the
long hours OF discussion, he has
seen the Senate attendance dwindle e
from a mere quorum to the point
where he was virtually alone, ex-
planning to the galleries the sched-
ules of the bill. Monday he wit
messed an early adjournment be-
cause 1t appeared a physical i'm
possibility to maintain sufiicient
listeners to constitute a quorum.
He's disgusted-said SO yesterday.
He remained on the job when 9TH
ers were wrecking the political
fences he spent twenty-four years
building. While occupying the
most important position in the
Senate and in charge of the most
important administration measure
the administration has, the politi-
cal ground was removed from under
his feet, because, he feels. he was
unable to get back home to tell
his own constituents what he was
doing for them.
He has a petition which will
make IL possible for him to move
to limit debate on the tariff. He
would like to end discussion of it,
or at least speed such discussion so
that other Republican Senators
would at least share his attention
to IT.
Il will discuss the question with
some of the Senators Wednesday"
he said last night. "I don't know
yet what l will do"
Administration leaders doubt
whether the necessary two-thirds
vote for imposing cloture can be
obtained. The Democrats would
probably oppose 1t to a man.
