NEW CONGRESS GIVES HOPE TOLABOR
 SAYS GOMPERS

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 15:-Assert- ing that the new Congress Twill be ob- served watchfully and hopefully" Pres ident Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor sets forth the most vital issues from the labor standpoint in the December AMERICANU FEDER- ATIONIST.
 "A Congress much more representa- tive of the trend of the times in A1ner1- ca will come into being with the begin ing of December" says MT. Gompers. "The members who will co ernto take the places of so many of the reaction aries of the last. congress, are for the most part men of vision, men of moral courage, men of high purpose and men who habe records of service and loyalty to the interests of the people.
 If present judgment IS sound, the control of affairs III the new congress will be in the hands of men of con structive and progressive thought. At least those things not approved by them cannot find their way to success.
 "In the real of international affairs much could be desired, so far as most of the new members of Congress are con- cerned. Proper participation of Amer ica in the affairs of the world was a cause not materially advanced Tn the election of the new Congress And many also, are apparently captivated by the mi rage, cleverly created by world propa- ganda, of toilers' Utopia ill Russia Than this there IS no sadder error of thought among the new members. But worse maladies than this have been sur vived and the victims have lived to ren- der good service. Now that the sum-
 
 sober study may do much to brush away the clouds.
 Where domestic American affairs are concerned, labor has distinct reason to be hopeful Labor batt1ed valiantly and effectively for the election of many of the new members, because labor had faith in their records and faith in their professions and pledges.
 "It may be said with confidence that the trend of thought exemplihed in the Esch- Cummins law has been brought to definite standstill and that whatever may be done henceforth Ill legislative way, will take the opposite direction, to- ward freedom toward reason, toward a proper division of affairs political and industrial
 '.One of the foremost questions that must come before the new Congress and that must be settled with dispatch IS the question of immigration. The present law expires June 30 and to throw wide open the ports of entry to untold myri- ads of immigrants because of the absence of law is unthinkable. Only the few most thoughtless and greedy want that The great body of intelligent employ CTS at last join with labor in the de rnand for stringent restriction of inmi- grafton. @S
 The proposal that there beA ,ome me thod of selection of immigrants before they 1eabe foreign shores is constfuc- tive and would find labor's support, if ways can be found by which foreign go- bernnents will agree to the setting up of the necessary machinery. Such ap Ian would do away with much needless sui fering and inconvenience. It would be in the. direction of wisdom and hurnani- ty."

 That Todd secured the "inforrnation" on which his Federated Press story was written from Henry Harrison Lewis and other "open shoppers" was admitted by Todd in his story and has been confirmed by him since. Others besides Lewis from whom Todd got information were George H. Gushing, editor of Cushing's Survey, Washington; and Nathan Vii Hams, of counsel for the National As sociation of Manufacturers
 It IS observed here that the repre- sentative of the Federated Press joined hands with, or worked III conjunction with, coal barons and the National As sociation of Manufacturers, to attack the United Mine Workers.
 The United Mine Workers charged that the Federated Press was principal agency of red propaganda in America Those who are watching the situation here say it is interesting to note the friendly assistance given to the Fed erated Press by organized non-union in terests to ward off an attack on the reds and to cast discredit on a great trade anion.
 The magazine published by Lewis con sistently attacks trade unionism. One of Lewis most recent efforts was the pre- paration of an 'fopen shop" exhibit for the National Founders Association.

"OPEN SHOPPERS HELPED
 FEDERATED PRESS MAKE:
 ATTACK ON MINERS UNION

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 15.-As 9 re- suit of its attack on the United Mine Workers, the Federated Press has be- come the subject of much comment and speculation here, and there is strong pos sibilty that the episode may not be closed for some time.
 The attack on the United Mine Work by Laurence Todd, its Washington cor respondent, and criticized the Mine Workers expose of communist propa- ganda within the Miners Union.
 The Federated Press attack charged that the articles prepared and distributed by the United Mine Workers were writ ten by B. C. Clarke, that Clarke was a publicity agent for non-union mine own CTS, that the articles were "peddled" by Clarke before they were taken by the miners and that they were offered to "In- dustrial Progress" an "open shop" mag azine published in Washington by Hen Harrison Lewis
 Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mine Workers Journal, has specihca1- ly said that he was the author of the articles constituting the expose of com munist activities in the Miners Union. He has made 1t clear also that the ar ticles were not in any sense "peddled'' to any publication The fact is that they were written by him, that the infor- nation was secured by him and by others under his direction and that they were distributed without charge to all news papers for release on certain designa- ted days.

that the commerce of the world and
the financial machinery involved in in
ternational trade could adjust itself
to the changes.
"The problem is very complex"
continues Mr.. Babson, ''but it does not
appear hopeless. Individually we can
all insist that it be handled by a
board of commissioners, who are
christian business men - who ap-
proach it with the idea of coming to
the solution that will be best for the
world as a whole. In the interest Of
future peace, we should protest loud
" against any proposals offered by
politicians, or others who are inter-
ested primarily in getting as much
as they can for themselves regardless
of the consequences.
81 am not pessimistic about the
European tangle. l feel that it will
work out some way. Secretary
Hughes is making very good start.
Mr.. William G. McAdoo also has some
sound suggestions in connection with
the matter. Men who formerly were
rabid on one side or the other, are
gradually showing an open-minded-
ness toward any practical solution.
I still insist, however" concluded Mr..
Babson, 'that the problem is largely
spiritual. The good of the United
States is ultimately bound up in the
good of the world. This applies to
France as we'll as to Germany, to
England as we'll as France, and to
the United States most of all. From
those who have most, the most is ex-
pected. Statistics show that the
World War came upon US because
mans intellectual powers had in
increased so much faster during the
last SO years than his spiritual pow
ers. Our system of control was out
of equilibrium. The same condition
still exists, and before the financial
problems of Europe can be corrected
the spiritual condition Of Europe
must be improved"
General business in the United States
meanwhile continues slightly above
normal, plus $50 to be exact. The
action Of foreign exchange and other
international barometers strongly
suggest that while things are looking
very dark in Europe, it is always
darkest just before dawn.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1914-1938, 1923-02-08

On eof the most feasible solutions
suggested so far is that proposed by
C. w. Barron, owner Of the Wall
Street Journal, and Boston and Phil
adelphia News Bureau. He suggests
that receiver be appointed for Ger
many and that the matter be hand
led exactly as that of any other great
bankrupt. Secretary Hughes idea to
have commission Of practical bank
ers, rather than commission OF Dip
lomats and politicians, is a similar
step in the right direction.
..If we look at the natter con-
tinued Mr.. Babson, "from either Of
these receivership points of view,
we face the real problem. If Ger
many had $32 ZOO, 00O, 900 in gold it
might be a simple matter to collect
it, but she has no such amount on
hand. Germany has only about $780,
100000, in gold. This means that
some method must be devised by
which Germany can get the gold with
which to pay the reparations. France
says that if she can't pay in gold,
she must pay in machinery, coal and
other property. But taking away
these tools does not help her earning
power. It simply makes it harder
for her to earn anything. It is like
attaching a carpenters tool kit for
debt. 1t makes it impossible for
him to work or earn anything and he
never can pay up.
OBVIOUSLY, if the PREPARATIONS are
to be paid, some plan must be work
ed out which will enable Germany to
sell more goods in England, France
and the Tilted States than she is SELL
ing today. This suggestion, Of course,
raise q howl from our manufacturers
and the manufacturers in all these
other countries. They say that by
such plan Germany would Ultimate
ly be the winner rather than the
world. They say that this suggested
receiver for Germany, if he is on to
his job, would develop great foreign
trade and when the receivership was
discharged the German nation would
still have this tremendous commercial
machine. England has thought the
thing thru to this point and it is this
that made her so anxious to cut down
German reparations.
eff such commission should be
appointed and should decide what
Germany can pay and will pay, the
shock to our commercial and finan-
cial organization could be somewhat
reduced by having payments begin
in small amounts and gradually in
crease over a period of several years
then gradually decrease again, so

MAKING GERMANY PAY
Roger Babson Summarizes Several
Proposed Plans-Sees Present
Condition as Darkness
Before the Dawn

Before the Dawn
Wellesley Hills, Mass, Feb. 2, 1928
Roger w. Babson's statement last
week on whats the Matter with
France" has aroused widespread COM
ment and criticism.
'sIt is all right for Babson to preach"
writes a high French official, "but
it is another thing to collect the mon
ey that France must get, and get at
once. Every week we are going fur
ther into debt. Our financial condi-
ton forced us into Essen. 1t was a
case of sink or swim. We swan"
Mr.. Babson again reiterated his
statement that the trouble with Eu-
rope was primarily spiritual rather
than financial. He still contends that
the French tactics in the Ruhr dis
tricts are fundamentally wrong and
will complicate the problem rather
than simplify it. Discussing the ac-
tual payment Of the PREPARATIONS, Mr..
Babson continues: Several ways of
collecting the $4,000, 900, 200, that
Germany owes as reparations, has
been suggested.
1.-THE French plan is being tried out
at present. It promises little in the
way of tangible returns. Regardless
of how much the French are able
to collect at the point Of the gun in
the Ruhr district, the methods they
are employing, If continued, are bound
to increase hard feelings between
France and Germany. They are
sowing the seeds for another war.
'The English view approaches the
problem from another angle, but Mr..
Balfour's suggestion that we cancel
one another's debts, and thus greatly
reduce the German separations, is
to my mind absolutely unfair. All
nations are involved, except the
United States, as borrowers as well
as lenders. The person who is bOr-
rowing as much as he is lending can
enter into the agreement that all
should cancel his debts. He forgives
a million dollars and likewise has a
million dollars forgiven him. The
United States, however, is at the
end Of the line. These nations owe
us $40, 600, 00O, 900 and we owe them
practically nothing. The mutual can
collation. of debts is not a solution to
the problem. believe that an effort
toward reason, rather than force
however, is step in the right direc-
ton.
