THE RIFT IN THE Lutte.

How long will that accidental con-
junction and queer political salad,
the Farmer-Labor party in Mime
sofa endure? The interests of its
two main components are contrary.
In the legislature, farmer members
voted freely against labor measures.
Already trouble is in sight. Ac-
cording to a Nonpartisan league
newspaper, the chairman of the
state Farmer-Labor committee has
been asked to call state conven-
ton ito discuss the making of the
party dues-paying organization
like the Socialist party" The mem.
bers of the committee didn't want
a convention at the present time
but William Mahoney, the st. Pau
labor leader, and Mr.. Teigan, Mag.
nus Johnson's campaign manager
and private secretary, have called a
conference which is expected to be
Or result in a convention.
A contest between the leaders OF
the party, still flushed with its sur
prising victory, seems to be indicat
ed. One set wants the Farmer
Labor party to be regular politica
party, open to anybody. The Other
demands close association of labor
unions and former members of tn,
league, all paying dues after tn,
custom of that body-a custom which
had made to do with its virtual dis
solution. This is only one of /:
number of sorrows likely to com,
upon a fortuitous and heteroclit,
collection of voters, not united b!
any genuine community of opinion
or interest. They are strange bed
fellows and somebody is going t.
get kicked out.-The New Yorl
Times.

HOW DICTATORS ARE MADE.

What happens when union off,
Gals gain complete control of an in
dustry through the 'checkoff' is
shown by the official publication of
the United Mine Workers.
"The complete record of fines and
penalties ordered by the union for
1922 has been compiled from the
fortnightly announcements of the
United Mine Workers Journal.
''The sentences imposed oil union
members during the year ranged all
the way from a fine of $4,000 and
expulsion for SO years to fines of
500.
"There were 4,031 victims in all,
who were fined total of 1887 ,2O5
and exiled from their trade for a
total of 150,117 years. For ex-
ample, 131 men were expelled for
80 years and fined 500 each. The
total number who were expelled for
25 years or more, which virtually
means that they were exiled from
their trade for life,. was 984. In
other words, nearly 1000 men were
told by the mine union officials that
they could no longer work as coal
miners, for expulsion from the un-
ion virtually meant being deprived
of the right to work.
"The 'checkoff' has given union
officials the powers OF dictators.
The average worker has no alter
native but to accept their rulings.
He must either accept the decision,
permit the fine to be collected from
his pay envelope, or get out OF the
union.
"Such methods surely would not

SUPERPOWER SYSTEM.

The demand for electric power in
the United States is increasing
enormously.
Power plants which a few years
ago seemed adequate for years of
future growth have suddenly be-
come unable to meet the demands,
that the only solution of the prob
lem is interconnection.
The problem would be simple if
this situation had been foreseen,
and the proper standards of trans
mission and distribution of electric
current had been provided.
However, the industry is going
ahead full speed to make up for lost
time. High tension wires are spread
ing in all directions from power
sources.
The "Interconnection" idea is
spreading. Electric power from
many plants is fed into main wires,
for distribution in sections where
power cannot be generated econo-
mically, just as gas and petroleum
are fed into transmission pipes from
many wells.
"superpower" system, it will not be
many years until the whole country
is supplied with electricity adequate
for its light and power needs, if
not for heat, drawn from the water
falls and coal mines and generated
and transmitted more economically
than has yet been possible.
Electricity is revolutionizing house
keeping, farming, transportation and
manufacturing. The u. S. has been
pioneer in electrical development
and the initiative, perseverance
faith and courage. of its inventors
engineers, investors and managers
of electric properties are responsible
for these wonderful achievements.

1t is estimated that there are
100000 conversations over tele-
phones in the United States every
day and also that 100000 tele-
phones are now in use in the United
States. In the U. S. the telephone
is a household necessity. In Europe
the average person never heard OF
talked over a phone and as for
having an instrument in the home
of a working man or farmer, it is
almost unheard of. The figures
given above indicate that one out
of every three persons in this
country talks over the telephone at
least once daily.

Collection of Ore Tax DELAYED.

Collection of the occupatinal min
ing taxes due the state for 1921 and
1922, the amounts were certified by
the state auditor to the tax commits
sion two weeks ago, and for which
drafts have been certified to the
state treasurer by the auditor, has
been delayed, because the tax COM
mission has recalled many of the
certified amounts for correction, it
became known today. veral
changes are being made in the
amounts by the commission, which
will not be completed until next
week. Recapitulation of the total
tonnage tax for the two years show
the amounts to be reduced, after
the changes have been made, by ap-
proximately $4,000, it was declared
by ]. G. Armson, chairman of the
state tax commission.

be popular with American workers,
who are not accustomed to dictators,
whether those dictators are the
bosses or union officials. And with
the tremendous weapon of the
'checkoff' and the power to deprive
individual members of their very
means of existence, union officials
should be able to make their dictat-
orship perpetual.
Perhaps the failure to secure
the 'checkoff' was more of a victory
than a defeat to the average worker
in the coal ields."-News Tribune

them passable. Day by day in every
