WOULD SKIM CREAM
Off Retirement Law Secur-
ed By UniOnists

Washington.-Sup officials
and "higher ups" in the civil service
are demanding an annuity under the
retirement law far in excess of the
$720 annually received by those re
tired. The "higher ups" want pen
sions based on the military system.
The law was made possible by the
united action of civil service employees
affiliated with the A. F. of L. Until
these workers organized a retirement
committee and took charge of the is
sue, chaos reigned among retirement
advocates. 1t seemed impossible to
compose different opinions that were
SO stoutly urged. The first work of
the trade unionists was to settle their
own differences, and present a united
front to congress. They expected aid
from supervising officials who would
likewise receive benefits.
But this assistance was not forth
coming. "It is not ethical for US to
take part in this affair."" said these
officials, who stood aside while their
trade union subordinates, backed by
the A. F. of L., induced congress to
pass the law. The unionists will
ask the next congress to increase the
$720 annual annuity, and the higher
ups" announce that they must receive
larger amount because of their
especial ability" They have not inn
pressed officials of the international
trade unions that are affected, and
they are now attempting to interest
various affiliates of those information

PENALIzE MINERS
But Federal Coal Board Per-
mits Employers to
Escape

Washington.-"Real penalties for
the miners, phantom penalties for the
operators, seem to be the OUTSTANDING
feature in the program favored bv
the federal coal commission for deal
ing with suspension of production
IN the anthracite coal industry" said
J President Gompers in commenting on
the preliminary report of the United
States coal commission.
1T is plain to see that of all the
! bright minds on the committee. not
one was representative of the coal
miners" said President Gompers. "If
there had been single representative
OF the men who actually produce an
thraclte coal, the commission would
scarcely have recommended that the
president be given full power to fix
wages to be paid workers in the event
OF suspension of mining operations.
Any attempt to outlaw the right
10 stop work as means of improving
the condition of the working people
of the United States is doomed TO
fail. Such attempts have failed in
the past and will be equally unsuc-
cessful in the future. Labor will
never give up the right to strike as
a last resort in the fight against
wrong and oppression.
The very fact that the commission
found that anthracite operators are
receiving nearly three times as large
q profit as before the war is a strong
argument against any attempt to
force the miners to remain at work.
year in and year out, regardless of
the attitude of the mine owners. A
public that will permit the operators
to fatten at the expense of the miners
deserves little sympathy in the event
of a cessation of coal mining, because
If it will insist on fair play for the
miners there is no danger of their
striking.
"On the whole, the report can not
be considered as constructive, though
the commissions recognition that coal
is public utility is a step in advance.
So also are the recommendation that
anthracite dealers be compelled by
congress to make current reports to

REACTION ROUTED
By Northwest Voters When
They Put Johnson Over
For Senator
Election Infuriates Wall
Street and Journal
SnarIs

st. Paul, Minn-Bruised and be,
wildered, reaction in this state is
crawling from under an avalanche of
votes by the common people that has
landed Magnus Johnson in the United
States senate. He succeeds the late
Knute Nelson, whose term would ex-
pire in 1924
This election may prove one of the
features of political history, as it in
dicates the revolt against standpat-
ism that is sweeping the country.
1t is probably the first time in the
nations history that a state will not
be represented in the United States
senate by at least one adherent of a
long established party.
The election means that no one in
the next congress will insist that
strikes be outlawed and that progress
sivism will be decidedly fashionable.
| The election has Jared reaction from
end to end, and the agents of privilege
are terrified at the prospect of the
revolt spreading.
In a telegram to the senator elect,
President Gompers said:
ITO have won so magnifcently
against all the power of high finance
is not only a personal tribute to you
and the fundamental principles for
which you stand, but also demon
stration that the people are tired with
mere word mongers and insist upon
progressive, constructive legislation
for all people, for the wealth pro
ducers on farms and in factories. The
people of Minnesota are to be con
| graduated on their choice and the for
ward-looking citizens of the country
are heartened."
The election of Mr.. Johnson reduces
the administration party's majority
in the senate to six, as compared with
l21 in the last congress. The majority
of six, however, is much less because
that number includes Senator La Fol
lette, of Wisconsin; Brookhart, of
Iowa; Norris, of Nebraska, and Fra
zier, of North Dakota.
New York-The Minnesota sena.
torial election that resulted in the de.
feat of Governor Preus has made
Wall street disconsolate. The Wal
Street Journal is furious, and snarls
about "the cowardice in politics since
the institution of the popular election
of senators"
"Radicalism is blackmail," shrieks
this editor. "The Adamson law, the
grain futures act, the La Toilette sea,
mems law, the wasted valuation OF
the railroads (another piece of La
Toilette quackery) were all extorteC
from congress by terrorism"

she queried in an agony Of sus-

The woman put her arm
around Molly and held her close.
