SENATE SENIORITY
RULE UNDER FIRE
Mccormick Writes Lodge
Urging End Of PoIicy-Ir-
regulars to Fight.

Forecasting an effort in the new
Congress to abolish the seniority rule
by which chairmen Of the standing
committees of the Senate are now
selected, Senator Mccormick Of illi-
nois. in q letter to Senator Lodge, re-
publican leader, made public last
night, proposes that really represent
ative committee chairmen be chosen.
He proposes also that the steering
committee of the Senate become an
active organization. representing all
sections and thought Of the party
in he Senate.
Stating that the seniority rule
served very well in the old days"
and had resulted generally in ap-
pointment Of good chairmen, Senator
Mccormick wrote Senator Lodge that
the republican conference and the
republican steering committee owe 1t
to the country to put aside the rple,
country to make provisions for the
selection of g. truly representative
steering committee, which shall meet
regularity and, as occasion requires.
with the corresponding committee OF
the House."
while in majority Of instances "the
men who have become chairmen
through seniority have been good
chafrmen, there have been others
who were untitled for their posts, by
reasons Of extreme old age, or OF
failing health. or because of grave
differences Of opinion with the ma
jority of their republican associates.
The seniority system also prevails
in the House.
Notice already has come from sena-
tors of the irregular" republican
group that they intend to fight the
seniority rule and demand what they
consider adequate committee repre-
sentation. Their fight is expected to
center about two or three important
chairmanships. The democrats have
not shown any inclination. so far. to
abandon the seniority rule in the FILL
ing of minority committee places.

WOMAN VIEWS DEFEAT
IN ELECTION AS VICTORY

MARSHALL. Mich, November I3.-
Although beaten by a majority of ap-
proximately 100000 votes, Miss Jessie
Porter Of this city. democratic candidate
for secretary Of state In Tuesdays cleo
ton, insists her showing at the polls
was distinct victory for women, the
country over.
1.-The vote received was almost iden-
tical to that OF other democratic candi-
dates for state offices in Michigan" she
said. That means women are not OBJ
tanning votes through sympathy. and
also that there no longer is such a thing
as intolerance against women. 1t means
women have arrived quickly in politics
and therefore 1t is a greater victory
than though had been elected"
Miss Porter was defeated by Charles

old veterans who had participated m

only surviving member of the First

NIPPON MATCH INDUSTRY
GIVEN SEVERE BLOW

The coming into force on June 1,
1922, Of the prohibition Of the use Of
white (yel1ow) phosphorus in the
manufacture of matches has had a
very decided effect on the match in
dustry of Japan. The draft conven-
ton for the prohibition of the use
Of Phosphorus. in matchmaking,
which was promulgated and dis
'cussed during the Labor conferences
convened in Berne, Switzerland, in
1906 and 1913, was finally passed
by the First International Labor con-
ference convened under the terms
Of the treaty of Versailles in Wash
ington, D. c.. in October, 1919. The
passage Of the Draft convention was
brought about to endeavor to eradi-
cate the terrible disease known as
''phossy-jaw," which workers con-
tract, and which is the worst of the
industrial. diseases.
Recent reports from Japan tndi-
cate that the going into effect OF this
measure together with some minor
labor difficulties and competition
from Sweden, have brought the NUM-
ber of active match factories down
from 35 in 1920 to 10. In the ten
factories now in actual operation it
is stated that the production has
fallen off so per cent.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Postmaster General Work wants the
government to own its postoffice build
ings, and, conservative that he is, he
makes an excellent government own
ership argument in support Of the
proposition. He is sure $500, o,000, 900
can be saved in ten years. The fig
ures are too high, but the theory is
sound.
AS the postmaster general shows, the
government could borrow the neces-
sary funds for about 4 per cent while
contractors would be compelled to pay
from 7 to 10 per cent in addition to
bonuses. The saving in interest
charges alone would be enormous.
Congress should support the post
master general, but why confine the
new policy to the post office depart
ment? Why not include other public
utilities which thu people must use
The railroads. for example. ..

A FAIR DECISION.

The principle of the profiteer and
the religion Of Wall street is to drive
the wedge of "Profit" between wages
going into an article Of manufacture
and the cost of that commodity to
the public. That wedge forces down
wages and forces up prices.
Of course the public suffers from
this operation, but labor is squeezed
both ways. Inatead Of the wedge of
we need, and must event.
ually have, the medium of Service.
Wall streets cry is pure selfish
ness-"A limit to wages and no limits
to profits.' Wall street has the dol
lar so close to it's eye that it can It
see beyond.
The Wall street idea has permeated
industry. It is failing, it is sickening
men. The swing the other way has
begun. Wall street feels it and cries
"Wolf.'
Organized labor wants a fair de.
cision, because it is not interested in
either French revolution or a Rus.
sian debacle. It wants perpetuation of
American democracy. It is building
for humanity as a whole, not for the
God of Profits.
