The Defeated
Says Mr.. Gompers:

1t is safe to say that the full vol
ume of wage reductions since the
armistice, if averaged up and spread
over the working population, would
amount to less than per cent. This
is stark defeat for employers. 1t is
a magnificent victory for the workers. !"
This jubilant statement may we'll
be filed for remembrance. 1t goes
far toward answering, on the highest
authority of Americas organized
labor, the question of what class has
profited the most from the war. Gem
erai prices are notoriously down,
something like 40 per cent. and with
wages down but 5 per cent he boasts
that organized labor has gained the
difference.
Mr.. Gompers is so greatly pleased
that he apparently does not realize
what he SO blandly confesses. In
effect, he acknowledges that the
claim that the war wage level is
necessary to Offset increased living
costs is a fraud Likewise, he
scraps the arguments of those who
talk of living wages.
But Mr.. Gompers is mistaken in
saying that wages the country over
are down only 5 per cent. This may
be true of organized labor, but it is
not true of labor generally. Our
largest labor force is on the farms.
The farmer, whether operating
owner or tenant, whose corpensa-
tlon is determined by what he gets
for his produce, sadly knows that his
income is decreased a good deal more
than 5 per cent. And the vast mass
OF unorganized workers, next to ag-
rlcultural workers our largest labor
army, confront the same lamentable
| fact.
The labor element of which Mr.
Gompers is speaking, and which he
bilndly assumes is the only class de-
serving of consideration, is the small
minority who are members of labor
unions.
If the Gompers estimate is cor.
rect, II the wages of organized labor
are almost up to the war level, his
Wanted victory is over unorganized
labor. The fund to pay the labor
arlstocracy has not come from EN-
ployers. These quit business wher
1t does not pay. 1t has come from
the general public. The triumph
that Mr.. Gompers ecstatically cele
orates is thus not over employers
but over fellow workers, and ovel
the aged and infrm who have savec
TO have comfort in later years, anc
over women and children who fine
that the income from petty inheri
tanees has shrunk with the shrink
ing of the dollars purchasing power
Mr.. Gompers should enlarge hi,
vision. He should take into his view
| the victims Of his victorious policy.

The Governors Remedy

Governor Miller's message to the
Legislature divides into two parts.
The first deals argumentatiyely with
the use of the states police power
in an emergency. The Governor is
by no means partial to state So
cialization schemes. He does not
like to see the Legislature try to
suspend economic laws. But with a
coal shortage threatening the pub
lie health and the public welfare
he resolutely puts aside all hesi-
tations and asks for adequate state
control of coal distribution.
Economic laws" he says, "do not
operate in an emergency such as we
are dealing with. The state
must intervene in an emergency or
confess that, except under normal
conditions, it has not the power, the
capacity or the energy to serve the
high purpose of its creation---i. e.,
the promotion of the general well
fare" Mr.. Miller is satisfied that
the constitutionality of the measures
of control which he suggests has
been established by State Court of
Appeals and Federal Supreme Court
decisions in the emergency housing
cases.
The plan laid before the Legisla
ture in the second part of the mes
sage is simple. 1t provides for a
single headed fuel administration
with power to supervise, regulate
and control the distribution, use,
sale and price of all fuel" A re-
volving fund of at least $10,000,000
is to be created to finance any buy
ing and selling operations. During
the emergency individual interest is
to be subordinated to community in
terest. Uneconomic use of fuel is
to be restricted. Rationing is to be
practiced, profteering suppressed
and each PERSONS supply of fuel is
to be measured solely by his needs.
New York has no coal mines. We
must depend on Federal agencies to
allot us our fair share of coal at
reasonable prices. But the allotment
must be protected after it gets here.
This the state alone can do. 1t is
an inescapable duty thrust on the
Legislature and the Governor.
The coal strike was an outrage
perpetrated on the public, which is
now being called upon to make good
losses in wages and profits to- the
perpetrators. Innocent bystanders
and sufferers are being summoned
to pay the piper. If the Federal
government and the state govern
ments can prevent this they will
go long way toward stopping
vicious lay-offs like this years ir
the coal industry.

Quick Evolution
TO the Editor of The Tribune.

10 the Editor or 1he Tribune.
Sir: While accept the general
principle of evolution I consider that
man was an immediate developmen.
from the ape, and that this change
occurred with the creation OF the
spirit of man about 5000 years ago.
Man has shown that he can evolve
plants like the seedless orange, and
that he can evolve dogs and poultry in
limitless variety. Time is not the fac
tor, but rather scientific knowledge of
breeding.
Hybrids between lions and tigers
have been produced, and the Eskimos
cross their dogs with wolves to main
tain their size and strength. Hybrids
are only barren when there is a great
difference in physical characteristics
between the parents.
They can frequently be crossed with
either of the parent species, and some.
times among themselves. In the lat.
ter event new race Of animals is de.
veloped.
Correctly speaking the term species
is an improper distinction between
animals. If all the links between the
lion and the tiger could be revived |,
would be observed that these beasts
are merely different breeds Of the same
family Of cats, and new varieties could
be evolved by the simple process 0:
breeding.
The dog is the descendant Of tbs
wolf, but who could believe that there

His Gallo steed,
And curb, with wolf s-tooth bit, it's

Why doth he seem
To fear and hesitate
To tawny Tiber to entrust his

Why are his arms
No longer black and blue
With manly sports that once his

Why doth he tarry,

And toss the quot and javelin no

Why doth he shun,

Why, Lydia, answer

CHARITY BY THE MILLION.

The Charity Organization Society
Of New York has not been slow to
make capital out of the recent ex-
posture of the beggar on wheels
whose chauffeur's financial troubles
led to his exposure as man who
maintained an expensive suite in
one of the New York hotels, and
who, when the days work of beg
ging was done, strapped on a pair
of aluminium legs donned his even
ing clothes, and made merry in the
bright lights of Broadway. 1t ap-
pears, for years the man raked in
an average 500 a day, dropped
into his tin can by sympathetic
pedestrians who saw him selling pen
ellis. Now we are told that beg
gars in the big city take more than
$36 100000 year from careless
Gothamities and transient visitors,
all of which is highly undesirable.
However it i'll behooves the Charity
Organization of the city to break
into the picture. The object of the
Society. of course is to put an end
to the indiscriminate giving of char
ity and to make itself the sole
means of charitable distribution.
The expense of distributing a dollar

however, has several times been
shown to be preposterously high

A Plea FOR FALL TOURING.

These golden autumn days, to
many the most alluring of the year,
inspire the Brainerd Dispatch to in
quire why Northern Minnesota s
tourist season should not be extend
ed through September and October.
There is only one answer. 1t
should be.
The woods have just begun to
turn and from now until November
they will present the most gorgeous
panorama of color that ever en-
chanted a lover of nature The
climate, too, at this period is usual
ly ideal; the days are sunny and
comfortably warm, the nights are
cool and the, air is as clear and
stimulating as wine and there is no
Volstead act applying to it's use, or
any trust controlling the supply.
Mosquitoes and insect pests that an
noy campers and outdoor travellers
during the summer have disappear
ed; in fact, the only things that
bite well, of concern to the camper,
are the fish; and they are plentiful.
Still another inducement in the fall
months is the hunting, and where
on the North American continent
can a greater variety of game be
found so close to civilization than
in Northern Minnesota?
Yet with all these attractions
splendid roads and trails are almost
deserted; keepers of resorts and
camps have closed their places as
if winter were right on their heels,
and tourists are shooed away in
stead of encouraged to linger and
enjoy the country at it's loveliest.
The Dispatch is doing good ser
vice by calling attention to an OPP
portunity that most of Northern
Minnesota has overlooked.-Duluth
