SEEING THE LIGHT

Many of the leading newspapers of
the country are changing their views
on the Labor question and are discus
sing it in a spirit of greater fairness
than formerly, and prominent pol
iticians believe in giving a square
deal to those who toll. Our neighbor,
the American Tribune, in giving an
account of Senator Copeland's ad-
dress to the Cleveland Real Estate
Board last week, says:
"The question of labor unions is the
biggest one America faces, in the
opinion of DR.. Royal S. Copeland, u.
S. senator-elect, who was the chief
speaker at the banquet of the Cleve-
land Real Estate Board last night.
at is mere foolishness for any man
to say he will not bargain with labor
collectively" DR.. Copeland said. II
think it is the solemn duty of labor
to organize. The labor union is an
economic evolution. True, many bad
things are chargeable to them, but
let's reform not destroy

WHY DON'T LABOR MEN WRITE
LETTERS TO EDITORS? +

Why are labor men and women 81
neglectful of the opportunity to state
Labor's case and correct false state
rentS about Labor in the "Letters tt
the Editor" columns of the daily
newspapers?
The freedom with which newspap.
ers are permitted to make unchal.
lenged statements about Labor indi.
Gates that Labor men and women de.
liberately permit this opportunity tc
waste.
What other group is so neglectful
Practically none.
Take the Christian Scientists, for
example. In every community there
is committee on publication
which watches for and promptly an
swers criticisms of Christian Science
No newspaper in America can get
away with any criticism of these
alert committees. The letters to
editors written by these committees
are courteous, but very firm, stating
the case simply and clearly.
Many other organizations are al
most as wide awake.
Don't think these letters are use
less. MANY of them do not get
printed, but the editor always knows
about them and it has to be pretty
"hard boiled" individual that can for
get repeated challenges as to accu-
racv.
Many letters do get printed and
there are always many who read
them.
No labor man who can write the
English language should hermit q
false statement to "get by" in any
naner in America. Whoever knows
the facts should write them in letter
form and mail them to the editor
Such letters should not be ugly in
temper and they should not be ex-
travagant in statement. They should
tell the facts in simple, clear, moder-
ate LANGUAGE. Their purpose is not
to start fight, but to get the truth
into print and to act as a caution
against further misstatement.
If a committee of one or more can
be designated for this watch tower
lob in every community, that is the
ideal method, but if this is not done
then every man and woman in the
labor movement should be a self
elected committee, watching the pap
ers and correcting in polite, but
firm language all misstatements.
Don't write long letters. Don't jam
wind. Don't get wild. Get to the
point, stick to the point, state facts
and facts only. Write neatly, legibly,
or with a typewriter. Sign your
name and give your address. Watch
results.
Why let every Tom, Dick and
Harry get away with careless or ma
licious work in the news and editorial
columns of the daily newspapers of
the land?
Why don't labor men. including lab
or officials, come to life and show a
little energy instead of merely howl
ing about the dying newspapers ?"
Maybe some of them will never print
the truth and maybe many of them
will print only little truth, but make
The effort. Nobody listens to the
oyster because it has nothing to say.
Everybody looks up when the noon
express flashes past!

Atty. Gen. Daugherty's
Troubles Not Ended

Washington-The troubles of Atty
Gen. Daugherty will not end with the
coat OF whitewash just given him by
the house judiciary committee, from
which Congressman Keller withdrew
when it blocked the presentation of
evidence to sustain the impeachment
charges.
IL do not blame Mr.. Keller for
withdrawing as the accuser before the
committee" Sen. Caraway tells the
senate. I'VE all have read how the
hearings were conducted. | am sure
II evidence was anXiously sought that
sources have been suggested from
which that evidence could be had.
But the majority of the committee
did not want to see the evidence that
the attorney general would escape
exposure at its hands.
This carefully staged "vindication"
of the attorney general may have
another and more surprising effect
than is generally anticipated. 1t NAV
give Daugherty his opportunity to re-
sign from the cabinet in the hour of
victory over Keller, and so relieve
President Harding of the handicap of
his presence here, though this is de-
MED at the White HOUSE for the pres
ent. r.
1t is quite certain that fresh and
more embarrassing attacks will be
launched upon him from Capitol Hill
If the attorney general DELAYS his
resignation. Sen. Caravans ad-
dress, delivered Jan. 6 is fair sam

law by expelling % employees from

UNION MEN OR MERELY CARD
HOLDERS

The difference between a good, hon
est union mar a So-called card mem
ber only is as great as day and MO
as hot and cold, and as high as thu
heaven is above the earth. The hon
est man is in the union to put into i
everything he can; the card man is il
the union to get out out of it all hC
can. 1t behooves the honest man t(
stir himself to fully assume and fully
sense his individual responsibility. lr
order to know your duty it is mos1
important that you keep yourself W,
informed regarding the mission Oh the
labor movement and be ever ready tC
defend its PRINCIPLES and explain its
logical program.
The labor press, especially the pro
gressive labor papers, and a large
number of splendid books and Other
good literature on the labor move
ment and on the social question will
all aid you to form sane judgments
and help you to come to sensible con-
clusions. We are about ready to be
gin our winter program. If we un-
ion men should become as enthuSeC
over our game as the baseball far
over his game, victory would be in
the air we breathe. Each man, if he
is true to his team, feels that an i'm
portant responsibility rests unOn hin
not to fail in single instance to
make good for his team. Opportuni-
ties do not come alike perhaps fol
each MEMBER of such team to make
the winnin" score, but no one con
nected with the came knows for sure
what part Of it the next play will af-
ford to bring in the winning run,
therefore the player must be on the
alert every moment and be equal tC
his job and thus render a great serv-
ice to his teammates and credit an
reward to himself.
There is constant need in the labor
movement for just such personal in
terest on the part of each unit of the
organization. This interest must be
put on legs and made to run, to fight
to use every means to win an honest
game. We must be everlastinply
it. The most noted pianist must prac-
tice good and hard every day or soon
the critic will notice the de1ect and
then the audience. To score in the
labor game we must get actively into
the game and keep everlastingly {
tive in its behalf.
Now is the time for every unior
man to get in touch with the new
spirit of the age and wherever we
may work or with whomsoever w
may associate, keep constantly in
mind our unions mission and to con-
slider how we may best serve its in
terest.
Now is the time for every true and
honest trades-unionist to do his duty
to help build up and to strengthen the
labor movement. Again and again we
herewith appeal to those workers yet
outside of this great and noble move
ment to join same; it is to their ov,-
interest, also in the interest of the
entire working class. We must not
allow the employing class to destroy
or to crinnle the labor movement.
Remember workers: "United we
stand, alone or divided we fall"

humanity was swayed by their elo-
quence.
So we'll timed was each act and
scene that the curtain came down just
at eleven o'cloch on the eleventh day.
So completely spell-bound was the
audience that they can scarcely yet
realize that it was only a show to
make money and gain glory for the
performers. The box office receipts
show great profit to the promoters.

LOVE FOR SIGNS
Tears Down Caldwell
Highway Posts; Plan
For More

Caldwell road signs. extending be-
yond Nyssa, have been taken down
according to word received here
Thursday. 1t is believed that this is
due to the rigid regulations governing
signing Oregon highways with which
these signs do not comply. Only four

river on this highway.
About 100 signs remain to be placed
on highways tributary to Caldwell. ac-
cording to an announcement made by

GEM DISTRICT
FARMERS WILL
OBTAIN POWER
Utilities Body Holds the
Advance $4,000 Pay
ment not Required; a
New Contract Is Or
dered.

Gem District farmers are assured
water for this summer without making
a substantial advance payment to the
Idaho Power company for power, as
that company sought. according to an
order issued Wednesday by the public
utilities commission of Idaho.
Contracts omitting the clause which
would compel an advance payment OF
$4,000 by the Gem district to the pow
er company must be prepared and sub
mitted to the district at once. accord
ing to this order In lieu of this first
payment and for a guaranty of the
company's revenue for supplying pow
er. the company is required to take a
first lien crop mortgage on the dis
trict. Under the order, too, delivery
of water is to start just as quickly as
the new contract is drawn up.
The decision of the commission is
a lengthy one. filling 10 closely type
written pages. 1t points out that the
development Of the power industry is
of vital concern to Idaho and solu-
ton for the demand of the Gem dis
trict for 5000 horse power must be
made else there may develop a power
shortage as a handicap to be overcome
in the event conditions return to nor
NAL. At present, the accrued indebt-
edness of the district to the Idaho
Power company is approximately
1881 900. Upon this fact. the COM
based the further order that
district should be supplied the power
it required only when that power is
not required by other company GUS
toners. 1t was upon this fact that the
based its argument that it
could not attract additional capital for
in the face of such large
obligations.
J. NJ. Thompson. a Caldwell mem
Der of the commission, felt himself in
capacitated for action on the case
and did not concur in the order. He
has been long identified with irrigation
matters for the Gem district. R. B.

sented the Gem district at the hearing
The case was filed April II and was
hurried through. Wednesday after
