HIGHER WAGES ALARM
WALL STREET CHIEF

New York.-Higher wages which
mean so much for the standard of
living of the American wage Garner,
are a genuine cause of alarm for the
Wall street princes of finance.
In his annual report to the stock
holders of the Chemical national bank,
President Percy H. Johnston, discuss
ing the trend of business, declares
more serious is the possible shortage
of labor and resultant rise in the
wage scale"
President Johnston explains that
the British employers, with whose
products American manufacturers
compete in the markets of the world,
have not as yet been compelled by
British labor to jack up wages. Brit
ish employers, he indicates, have been
able to use the army of the unem-
ployed to keep down wages, and
"there is considerable unemployment
in England" now to assist employers
in enforcing low wage rates.
In the United States, however, it
seems that the unemployed have
mostly been absorbed, and the pos
sible shortage of Tabor brings up the
specter of a higher standard of liv.
ing for those who do the work of in
dustry and commerce.
Wall streets worries are heart
breaking!

HERE'S WHAT
EXPERT SAYS
ABOUT COURTS

There's one Judge that isn't bowed
down by the weight Of his dignity.
We don't know overly much about
Supreme Court Justice John Ford of
New York, but he tore loose in a
speech few days ago in such manner
a. to indicate that he is no pink tea
person.
"The courts are partial to accumu-
lated wealth." said this judge in his
speech.
Sounds good to hear a judge come
across with the truth.
There's more:
"They (the courts) are on the side
of the powerful employer and against
his employees, and they are daily,
through judge-made law, depressing
the poor and lowly in the interests
of amassed capital"
Ford said Federal judges are the
worst. They are fixed for life and
not responsible to the people. Also
they are picked by lawyers and here's
what Ford says about lawyers:
Lawyers are the employees of
wealthy men and large corporations
IL Is earnestly hoped that Harry
Daugherty and an assorted lot of
judges around the country will take
note of what Ford said.
Ford, being judge, ought to be an
expert witness on the subject.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
TO FIGHT PROFITEERS

Lincoln, Neb.-"To protect the peo-
pie from profiteering in the essential
necessaries of life and to bring the
producers and consumers together for
their mutual benefit without middle
men intervening" declares Governor
Charles w. Bryan, 81 recommend a
general statute giving all cities, towns
and villages the authority to acquire,
establish and operate municipal water
plants, light plants, gas plants, ice
plants, coal and fuel yards, slaughter
houses and public markets, and to
provide money for the same by taxa
tion."
Governor Bryan also recommends
the encouragement of cooperative
marketing facilities by making CO.
operative companies exempt from
antitrust laws, adequate state rural
credits system, continuation of the
state law guaranteeing bank deposits,
a referendum on war, and opposition
to any enforced slavery system such
as an industrial court"

Army Breaks Record.

according to Congressman Madden,
chairman of the house appropriations

The regular standing army vii
have 125, 900 men and 1900 officers,
but the total of those constantly IN
der arms and in up-to-date training
conditions will be about 625 900. Mr..
Madden's committee, however, has
provided for nearly double that NUM-
Der by requiring that enough supplies
shall be constantly on hand for /
100000 men.
Never before has the country pos
sessed 20 many military resources IN
trained men and material" said Mr..
Madden. Our regular army now has
double the number of highly trained
commissioned officers it had before
the world war, AMI an enlisted
strength % per cent larger than be-
fore the war. The national guard Is
nearly 100 per cent larger and far
greater military asset to the nation

NO NEED FOR military
POLICE IN ILLINOIS

the most sparsely settled portions of
the state of Illinois.
There is one other great and fun
damental difference from, the point of
view of particularly the workers in
the modern industries of our state,
that is that in Canada there is no
such thing as an injunction in a
labor dispute. Even the king of
Great Britain and the Dominion Of
Canada can not exercise the powers
that the most incompetent biased or
venal Judge of our bench exercises
arbitrarily, at his own discretion
without responsibility.
No Judge can take advantage of the
workers of Canada and put the pow
ers of government unjustly, wrong
fully, illegally and unconstitutional
ly against them in labor dispute,
so that the Northwest Mounted Po-
lice of Canada are not used for that
purpose ins that country.
If the Canadian Royal Mounted
Police want a man arrested in Can
ada, they must swear out a warrant
for his arrest, stating the crime he
has committed, and before he can be
NoiSiNNSh VI any NiiiHCs iit pN
given trial in court and he can only
be convicted when it is proven in
court that he violated the law, and
the Canadian Northwest Mounted
Police must be very careful to see
that they do not exceed their author
ity in arresting men or in mistreat-
ing them in the process of arresting,
taking and holding them prisoners.
Conditions in Illinois and Canada
are totally dissimilar. There is abb
solutely no need for a military police
here, and If the people in Canada
were situated as we are, their intel.
! ligence and good sense would bring
about the immediate adjustment OF
that force and relieve their people
from the unnecessary, enormous bur
den of taxation that such force
entails.
In Canada, with all of its area, al
the present time, there is less than
1,200 on that force. Last year this
force cost them approximately two
million eight hundred thousand dol
lars. In Canada where it is popu-
lated as are the rural districts OF
Illinois, a mounted police man is prac-
tically unknown--never seen. In those
portions of their country the Cana
dians depend entirely on their ordin-
airy civil government peace officers
to protect the people and enforce the
! law.

They did not seek admission. They
are not coming into America. In the
last fiscal year only less than one
half of the quotas that could be adj
mitted under the law have come from
England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales,
from Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
from Holland and from Germany.
While Secretary of Labor Davis
emphatically declares that there is no
shortage of labor, another member of
the Presidents Cabinet takes an en-
tirely opposite stand. Secretary of
the Treasury Mellon, whose financial
interests probably control his opin-
ions, has issued warning in his re-
port to Congress that the restriction
of immigration and the general re-
sumption of industrial activity has
resulted in scarcity of labor en-
barrassing in some lines of business.
From reports received by the
American Federation of Labor there
is great fear of the restitution that
is sure to result during the winter
months because of unemployment. A
committee of trade union legislative
agents representing the American
Federation of Labor and all national
and international unions, having legis-
lative agents in Washington, waited
upon Chairman johnson of the I'M
migration Committee of the House
and protested against the opening
the immigration question at this
session. The present 3 per cent law
does not expire until June 80, 1924.
The time of expiration was extended
at the request of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, President Gompers
making a special plea for that legisla-
ton. 1t was understood that there
could not be fair expression on the
| immigration question during the pres
ent short session of Congress and
that there would be plenty of time in
the long session of the Sixty eight
| Congress to consider the question.
| Most of. the members of the House
immigration Committee have stated
that they will oppose the report of
any bill to the House in the short
| session.
Another plan to bring about ex-
cessive immigration is based on al
| legged sentimental purposes. Though
| sentiment is commendable, the facts
of life and the struggle for existence
| must necessarily be of paramount i'm
/ portance. Several bills have been
presented providing for the admission
of refugees from the Near East.
They provide for the admission of
/ relatives of any resident iA the Unit
| ed States. The bills are so loosely
drawn that if they become a law they
can easily be used for illegal nur-
poses.

BY J. II. WALKER.

The proponents of the Military Po-
lice for the State of Illinois, use most
persistently as an argument In favor
of the enactment of that law, the fact
that they have such a police in Cana
da, which is known as the Canadian
Royal Mounted Police.
There is no parallel or similarity
whatever between the situation in
Canada and that of Illinois. Canada
is a very sparsely settled country.
Its area is 3,653,946 square miles. Its
population is approximately 5000, 900.
The area of the state Of Illinois is
56,043 square miles-about one sixty
fourth of that of Canada, and it has
a population of 6,4S5, 09S-almost as
many people.
Canada lies to the north of our
country where the climate is more
rigorous, making it more difficult Cat
least nine months in the year, for
peace officers to cover territory. Be-
sides, Canada is much more rugged
than is the United States, particular
ly Illinois, which is fiat level prairie
country.
The Canadian Mounted Police are
used largely along the rivers and
waterways, and on the coast lines of
the Pacific, Atlantic and the Attic
oceans. This force is used to pro-
feet settlers who are Drawing the dan
ger of the wilds of the wilderness,
peopled with uncivilized human be-
lngs, sometimes savages, and with
beasts of the forest.
The report of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police reads like the story
of Daniel Boon, or the history Of the
other men and women who braved the
dangers of the unknown, pushed be-
You'd the frontier, in the settlement
of our own country one hundred anc
fifty years ago. Outside of protect.
ing the settlers, and maintaining JUS
tice in those outposts of civilization
their main duties are, enforcing the
Federal Laws of the Dominion OF
Canada.
The outstanding laws which they
are engaged in enforcing, are the
naturalization laws, and those laws
which apply to drugs, narcotics, and
contra-brand liquor, smuggling. They
also enforce the Federal Fish ano
Game laws. They are very seldom
used in any portion of the thickly
settled countries, and the most thick
ly settled portions of that country are
not as numerously populated as are

NO SHORTAGE
OF LABOR IN
UNITED STATES

For several months we have report
ed that extensive propaganda had
been launched to amend the immigra-
ton laws so that there could be an
influx of foreigners. This propagan-
da has grown in intensity until il has
reached every corner of the land.
Various associations of employers
are sending letters to all members of
Congress urging them to vote for un-
restricted immigration.
The National Association of Mer-
chant Tailors of America sent COM
mittee to Washington to appear be-
fore the immigration Committee of
the House to demand the per cent
law be so amended that the Euro
pean supply of journeymen tailors
may come to our country unrestricted
and in unlimited numbers"
The false statement is being broad
casted through every avenue of pub
licity that there is great shortage
of labor; especially what is known
as common labor. Reports of the
Department of Labor have been mis-
represented to prove an enormous
shortage of both skilled and unskilled
workers. Secretary of Labor Davis
however, in an address delivered in
Los Angeles, November II, 1922
said there were then 100000 unem.
ployed in the United States. A sur
vey made by the American Federation
of Labor in nearly thousand cities
and towns shows that there is sur.
plus of labor everywhere. December
A, Secretary of Labor Davis in q
statement printed in the Washington
Star said:
The argument is everywhere VI
forward that because we have reached
a point of industrial prosperity in thu
United States, after one of the great
est depressions we have ever known
we must open wide our gates to Euro
pean immigration TO provide labor
for our industries. | am convinced
that a great many uniformed Of
misled employers are using this argu
ment. It is entirely fallacious fol
several reasons.
There is an impression that the so
called per cent law has operated Il
arbitrarily limit our immigration
from all European countries. Moth
ing could be further from the truth
Those who are now elamOring agains
the law forget or utterly disregar,
the fact that the law would have per
mitted the admission Of thousands o
immigrants during the past two year
If they had sought admission. AT an
time since the law has been in effec

racial strains which have mad
America great and which up to til
past two decades made up the bull
of our immigration, could have bee
