A FUNNY" WORLD

We often hear the expression, "This
is funny world" 1t is indeed a
funny world-or rather there are
many funny customs and practices in
vogue in the world But the word
funny" as used in this expression
cannot hardly be construed as to
mean amusing, but more to describe
extraordinary, complex or uniting
conditions.
However, the comparatively few of
the class who have glutted themselves
with riches at the expense of the mil
lions of toilers and producers, may
look upon the world as a very anus
ing sphere; they may derive certain
amount of ghoulish glee from their
"open shop" methods of expressing
the workers; they may find amuse-
ment in their plans and efforts for
keeping the workers down to a star
walton wage basis.
But to the millions who must toll
and grind and dig in producing the
worlds wealth, the world itself is a
very serious place To them there is
nothing of misunderstanding at all
really funny--in giving their toll,
their strength and their lives to the
production of wealth and the things
that make the physical life worth liv-
ing, for others-a comparatively few
others-to enjoy. Yet this may be
called one of the funny" things of
the world.
The fellows who dig the coal, who
beat the iron into shape, who weave
the cloth, who run the railroads and
so on, never get anywhere on the road
of life in the enjoyment of the prod
ucts of their efforts and industry.
The american" and "open shop"
plans of the fellows who ARE en-
joying the wealth produced by the
workers are calculated to perpetuate
this condition and to insure that the
world shall continue to be funny
to them.
"Why is the open shop?'" To de-
story organized labor, pure and SIM
pie. And why destroy organized la
bor? The answer is too easy. A
deaf man could answer. For the pur-

"He has learned that it is through
the exploitation of his labor only that
those interests in control can gain
their huge profits and power. He has
learned to combat those interests by
organizing his forces on principles
founded on truth and justice. He has
learned that human rights are para
mount to property rights, and that
the principles involved are fundamen-
tai and cannot be defeated, but must
eventually prevail.
"He knows that every time he is
forced to fight by those who would
defeat those principles he advances
a little nearer to their ultimate es-
tablishment."

BERGDOLL EXPECTED
 ID RETURN TO U. s.
So Says Draft EYader Who Shot
 Would-Be Kidnappers
By The Associated. Press.

By The Associated, Press. Eberbach, Germany, Aug. 13.-- Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the Amer ican draft evader, said last night that he had expected to return to the United States with his mother on Sep tember 27, but that last Saturdays effort to kidnap him made him hesi- tate about doing so. '-'
 Mrs. Bergdoll was not in the hotel when the attempt was made to seize her son. Bergdoll has not been ar- rested but had made formal state- ment to the police.
 The four men held in connection with the attempted kidnapping were removed last night to another place in Baden, the name of which was not made public. They are:
 Griffith, a former American lieu tenant; Faust Gagarin, a Russian prince; Roger Sperber, a French de- tective, and a citizen of France; and John Nelson, an American chauffeur.
 The German police say that Sper- Der, who was wounded twice during the clash in the hotel, has informed them that Griffith engaged him in Paris two months ago to arrange the kidnapping. telling him that 8 we'll known American organization was financing the affair.
 Karl Schmidt was shot three times by Bergdoll within ten minutes and died without making 8 statement. He was Swiss citizen and a resident of Lausanne.
 The shooting occurred in a dark room. Bergdoll fired six shots, three of which hit Schmidt while two struck Sperber and one went wild. Sperber will be charged with attempt ed murder, while the charge against the other prisoners will be .complicity in q murder conspiracy.

One of the most frequent visitors at the Brandegee house since 1t was opened at the beginning of this week has been Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work. one of the staunchest supporters of the Harding adminis- tration and for years leader in the republican party in Colorado. What appears to be the most logical con clusion to be drawn from the close ness of the intercourse between Sec retary, Work and Senator Brandegee .is that they are giving most thorough consideration to ways and means for grooming the c. o. P, candidate for presid ential honors in 1924-who, un- less all signs fail, will be none other than Calvin Coolidge
 Not that the new president is a man to make of himself an instru- ment for the expression of anyone elses will--far from it. But almost the first act of the new exec utive on his arrival at the capital was to call Senator Brandegee into conference, which lasted more than two hours more time than President Coolidge has given any other man in Washing ton, with the possible exception of Secretary Hughes, whose official po- sition makes close communication be- tween the two men essential at this time.
 This extraordinary sign of the con- fdence of the president in the Con. necticut senator's counsel speaks vol unles (which Is more than the presi- dent or the senator is ever likely to dol for the importance of the con- ferences at the Brandegee residence on the future course of the adminis- tration. The very air of mystery with which Senator Brandegee has sur. rounded himself, and the renowned reticence of President Coolidge, throws touch of romance on the at the street house (may it some day be called the I street White House?) which appeals to the

Bergdoll several days ago returned to Eberbach from switzerland to meet his mother who had arrived from the United States He again took up his residence in local hotel where he had been living during the past three years until he went to Switzerland.
 The local authorities assert that Bergdoll had been watched closely for several days by strangers living in his hotel. They expressed the be- lief that plot to kidnap the man who is wanted by the United States government had been carefully planned and financed. Rope ladders, hlack jacks and supply of opiates are said to have been found in the possession of the men under arrest. The automobile in which it is believed Bergdoll was to have been taken off is described as a former American army car.
