AN EDITORIAL FROM THE "EDITOR AND PUBLISHER"
 "Is This PrCDa ?"

'I am enclosing copy of Railroad
 Data,' which is issued weekly. IT
 your opinion, is this likely or real ser vice to newspapers, or is 1t, in your judgment, propaganda" The inquirer is w. w. Harris, publicity man fo1 the Association of Railway Execu- tives of New York. The clipsheet which his letter enclosed declares in an lear" that "the material in this bulletin is from authoritative sources. It is issued for the information of the public" Its information appears un- der headlines such as Movement of Coal by railroads far in excess of other years" Railroads obtain only 4 per cent of capital raised in October" :" "I. C. C. Says Rail Earnings Inade- quate," "Ford's Road Shows Deficit for 10 Months" etc.
 MT. Harris, himself newspaper man of long experience, doesn't need any assistance in answering his ques- tion. He knows that his clipsheet is of service to editors because 1t IS the only source of information on rail road affairs that has not been closed to them since the advent of the "di- rector of public relations"
 He also knows that it is propaganda for the interests which pay his salary and the other expenses of publication, He knows when the data he presents is in strict accord with all the facts and he also knows when 1t is in ac cord with the facts that he wants to bring to the attention of the editor.
 He knows that, but the editor doesn't, and the editor who accepts at face value and prints substantially what Railroad Data gives him ex- poses himself to the danger of print ing a story that is true so far as it goes, but which may be far from true when facts which are hidden are brought to light.
 It is the case with which a hard pressed newspaper man can use the prepared copy of the Railway Execu- tives and other propagandsts that makes their clipsheets insidious. They discourage frst-hand investigation. as they are intended to do, and they work their way into newspaper col umns without half the scrutiny and supervision that is exercised over the police reporters story of a trfing murder. No matter how upright and honorable may be the aims of the railway executives and their press agent, the clipsheet method of giving the newspapers information to the ex- clusion of direct contact with the or iginal source of news, is always open for the promotion of plans and ideas that may be neither upright nor hon. orable It is the editors job to keep awake to schemes of the latter kind and to expose. them before their fru1- ton. He cannot do 1t in an emer- gency if he permits his news sources

Baerfacts By J. M. BAER, The Congressman-Cartoons International Labor News Service
GARY, THE DESTROYER.

On the eve of the Day when the World celebrates the birth of the Savior of Mankind comes a statement from Gary, the spokesman of the steel industry "a destroyer of human life that the I2-hour day is abso- lutely necessary at this time.
 The statement would not have seemed so heartless and cold if this hard-boiled indus trial autocrat had not admitted that ethically and socially the eight-hour day was RIGHT but that economically it was not feasible now.
 What respect has this indus trial czar for Christian princi- ples when he admits that long hours in industry are wrong and in another breath states that they are not feasible-meaning of course-unproftable?
 In comparison to Gary we should have the greatest respect for the late Czar and Kaiser for at least so far as we know

 "On November 8, 9, B and 16, there were 35 locomotives inspected at that point, g of which were found to have defects approaching or constituting violations of the law and rules, and 24 were ordered withheld from service, as provided in the act.
 "I regret that, due, to our limited office force and the vast amount O, work before us, we cannot send you a detailed report covering the defects found on specific locomotives, but hope that the above will serve your purpose"

|. & N. Insults
 Statesmen of the
 Axton-Fisher Co,
Strikebreaking Rail System Shows
 How Contemptible It Can Be.

An incident occurred in Louisville Ky, that IS inCompreh rehensible to New Haveners, who believe in being hospit- able to visitors, no matter who they may be, especially so to conventions of salesmen.
 The Axton-Fisher Tobacco Com pany ,makers of the Clown cigarettes called in all their saelsmen, 60 in number, from all parts of the United States, this being the custom each year at Christmas.
 During the convention the sa1esmen dressed as clowns and marched through the city, stopping in front of the Louisville & Nashville offices for the purpose of having photographs taken.
 As they were lining up for the pie ture an official of the L. & N. ap- peared and told them that if they didn't get away from in front of the building he would have them ar rested
 The company has paid tens of thou sands each year in freight charges to the L. .& N.
 Immediately after the insulting cpl sode the convention reassambled and Wood Axton introduced a resolution pleuS1HS the SaleSmen not to ride on the L. x N. and putting the company on record as agreeing not to ship a pound of freight over the system.
 It would only be natural if every salesman left Louisville thoroughly disgusted with the town.
 The only explanation of the affair is that the road is employing none but strikebreakers in it's shops, while the Axton-Fisher company is a union tobacco house. MT. Axton says he will never ship a single article over the road until a public apology is offered his salesmen

Bosses Dodge Probe,
 HapgoOd Resigns

New York, Jan. 5.-Because of the obstructionist policy of employers, Norman Hapgood has resigned as inn partial chairman of the garment work ers' wage board
 The resignation is the cu1minatio ton of Thigh" wage claims by. the bosses: For years these claims have been made, and finally the workers sug- gested that the question be investi- gated. A joint committee was ere ated, and then the commission failed to function because ot the bosses de- mand that the workers production be also investigated.
 The unionists refused to divert the original purpose of the probe, and in this they were joined by the impar- tial chairman, who has now resigned. The unionists charge the bosses with evading the investigation. They say that when the facts are made public the excuse for high prices will dis appear.

they never admitted that their methods were wrong.
 Gary thinks only in terms of profits. He does not consider the human element. In fact he does not mean to consider life when the dividends of his steel plants are subject to the slight reduction which would be re- quired to establish an eight hour day.
 We are glad MT Gary spoke as he did and at the time he did. It emphasizes how soul less steel corporation magnates are. It is such a contrast to the spirit of the season in which he spoke. It should prove to every rightthinking person who reads the interview that men who rob their country in the name of patriotism while boys are giv- ing their lives on the field of battle in a great war, will also rob workers of life, liberty and the pursuit of education and happiness in times of peace.

to dry up and his sense of values tc become dulled when times are quiet.
 So the answer to MT Harris is t4a his service to the editor is of very doubtful benefit to the newspaper o1 it's readers and that 1t is definitely anC 1ndlsputably paganda.-Editor ant Publisher, December 10.
 
 In addition to propaganda of { purely domestic character, there are many varieties of international prop aganda, not the least of which is propaganda having to do with the creation of sentiment in support oi foreign concessions and of national governments in which Americans are interested in concessions.
 The Christian Science Monitor calls attention to Admiral Chester's famous eulogy of the Turk in re- cent magazine article, in which he, as the Monitor puts it, Twas frank enough to admit the heavy obliga- tions laid upon him by the granting of the Chester concession by the Ottoman government" The Monitor finds in certain paragraphs from the foreign correspondent of the Phila- delpha Public Ledger at Lusanne "some explanation .. of the singular insistence upon the virtues of the Turk" and it quotes the following from the dispatch to the Public Ledger:
 "The general sentiment here seems to have confirmed the statement in the Ledger foreign service that Amer ica enjoys the most favorable position in Turkey, especially economically, and now has the chance of a life time in the Turkish market'
 Among Americans going to An gora recently were M. Gobelin, dis trict manager of the Standard Oil. Company, while other concerns, such as the Chester group, the American Foreign Trade Corporation, the Gen. eral Motors Company, the Edgar Howard Company of Philadelphia, which is represented at Constantine pie now by' Ralph Cheeseborough, all are meeting with favorable recep- tions although no concession nor con- tracts have-yet been made"
 Herewith is published an editorial from the Editor and Publisher" of December 1o, 1922, letting light in on one of the evils-railroad propaganda
 Railroads pay high salaries to some Of the ShreWdeSt publicity men Tn the United States. They do this because they want results-and results are summed up to them in terms of fav- orable public opinion, favorable legis- lation and anything that helps rail roads get what they want. Railroad publicity organizations are not help ing newspapers to state facts impar- tially; they are pelading case for railroads. They are plain special pleaders; and they do much besides plead.
 Read the editorial from the "Edi- tor and Publisher" It tells about one minor evil-one little bit of chip on a sea of rough stuff-for which the newspaper reader pays the penalty.

 The present increase is less than half of the total wage reductions, but the bosses are hopeful that employees will be satisfied and give 'agitators' a wide berth.

Railroads And Other
 Interests Find Ways To
 Fool Newspaper Readers

The New York Times publishe: "All the news that's fit to print" the New York Sun proclaims that If it's in the Sun it's SO" while some news. papers proceed on the assumption that "If it's fit to happen it's fit tc print" Still others leave little room for doubt that they fill their columns in the cheapest and easiest way.
 Only an insignificant number o1 persons outside of the newspaper world have any true idea about how material is igathered and put into the columns where it is read
 A recent outburst on the subject dealt interestingly with one phase. Many bulletin that comes over the wires is padded into a column or more in the office. "The morgue" in news paper offices is the file system where graphs, cuts, etc, are kept. a An event about which bulletin Elves only main, skeletonized points will be pad ded out, either from material in the "morgue" or in some staff mans head, If the mans informa- tion is faulty, or if the "morgue" pocket on that subject contains most ly material furnished from partisan sources, there will be biased, faulty, or inarcurate story as the result
 The newspaper world is probably as good as it can be under present circumstances. Certain conditions make definitely for evil. Evils in newspaper making translate them selves into malformed public opinion frequently. In no place is evil more productive of evil than in the making of newspapers.
 Great organizations and enterprises are constantly using high-priced brains to find out ways of cheating, deceiving or corrupting newspapers and newspaper writers.
 There is a well-defned code of ethics in the newspaper world, but this code of ethics is frequently de molished by persons who do not be- lieve in being hampered by codes of ethics. It Is here just as 1t is in oth- CT occupations.
 But the most damage is done, not by weak Individuals, but by powerful forces and by exceedingly bad ad justments in relationships. It is es- timated that in 1916 the nations ad- vertising bill ran up to $2,ooo, ,ooo, ,ooo. It was much more than that in 1921 and in Io22-perhaps as much as s. ooo, 100000 and maybe more than that. Some of that advertising Was for the purpose of compelling consideration in news and editorial columns. Some of it just naturally begot considera- tion, even if there was no thought of it in the advertisers minds.
 
 Small pay for newspaper employees causes damage to the cause of truth in newspapers. Newspaper men who are underpaid sometimes go looking for work to help bring up the income figure. Sometimes they find work that conflicts with their newspaper work. Sometimes their newspaper work sui fers and the reader pays the penalty. One very large and powerful news paper is said to pay it's principal Washington correspondent $I2.5o per week. That same newspaper used to pay $75 to its Washington cores pondent
