BEARDED KINGS OF ENGLAND
George Follows Example of Edward
the Peacemaker, His Father,
Says London Paper.

1t is rather odd that at a time when
boards are so much out of fashion his
majesty King George should wear one.
In this respect he follows the example
of Edward the Peacemaker, his IA

ereigns to wear beard during nearly
300 years.
We must travel back in history as
far as Charles 1, before coming to
another bearded king. He was the last
king, until what we call modern times.

Indeed, when George III was on the
throne no beard had been seen in Eng.
land within living memory.

truth of the contentious of Representa-
tive Julius Kahn of California, chair
man Of the house military affairs COM
mittee, that the Panama canal, which
he calls one of the vital assets of the
United States, is virtually defenseless.
This condition, he urges, should be
remedied promptly.
Representing, as the canal does.
not merely an investment of so many
hundreds of millions of dollars, but
also an investment that cannot be
computed in it's potential value, it is
essential that we take steps to remedy
situation in our national defense
which can only grow worse with neg
lect," said Mr. Kahn.
"A comparatively small investment,
which resulted in the construction Of
the original Erie canal, led to the
growth of New York City to its pres

"What the Erie canal has meant
to the growth of our great Middle
West, the Panama canal means to the
continents of North and South Amer
lea. Through its influence, we have
been drawn into channels of ever
growing trade and these contacts are
leading to the more delicate ones of
diplomacy. American trade with the
countries of South America has grown
to a point where our exports to those
countries represent close to half of
what they buy from the whole out
side world.

one of the greatest factors in this ex-
pansion of commerce. The Panama
canal meant the impression of our
influence in the countries it affects

the commercial hold other countries
had on those areas.

citizens of the United States simply

they are near neighbors of ours. While
Europe is admittedly still good Gus
toner for us, the larger of the twenty
nations comprising Central and South
America can also be large customers

that they want our business; we
certainly should meet them halfway.

in charge of the affair worked hard
for its success. All that is asked of

carrier is $500. The United States
bureau of labor says that budget
Of $2,040.73 is necessary to maintain
husband and wife and three children
in health and reasonable comfort in
Washington, D. C.
1t will be noted that the maximum
salary of letter carrier is consider
ably below the minimum amount fixed
by the government experts. In other
words the letter carrier with a wife
and three children cannot maintain
his family at the level of health and
decency set by the government.
Representative James A. Gallivan,
of Massachusetts,, recently directed
the attention of the house to the pos
tai workers poor pay and the neces-
sity of giving them adequate salaries.
"In all fairness" he said, II say that
the congress should no longer deny
the postal employees an increase in
their salaries that will be sufficient
to permit a decent maintenance of
their families and make possible that
amount of saving necessary to pro-
tect the faithful worker and his fam
lily against sickness and disability"
Organized labor is interested in
obtaining justice for the postal work
ers, and union men and women can
help by letting their representatives
and senators know that the people
demand fair pay for employees in
every branch of the postal service.
It is probable that congress will not
do anything about the matter unless
the workers speak strongly in behalf
of the postal workers. But if the de-

The American Federation of Labor
and the Pan-American Federation of
Labor have given every possible sup-
port to the maintenance of constitu-
tional, democratic government. The
record of labor has been one OF con-
sistent, united support of the cause
of democracy. Only handful of
revolutionary reds, playing any de-
spicable game to serve their own
ends, has marked break in the line.
This handful, however, has been of
small consequence.
The wage earners of Mexico and of
the entire western hemisphere have

TEAPOT GURGLINGS

By International Labor News Service.
Teapot Dome boils hotter and hot
ter. A new gusher smears fresh repu-
tations every day. Blooie, goes one
nice clean shirt front after another.
Here are some points not generally
emphasized:
There were three oil leases. One
to Sinclair, one to Doheny, and ONE
TO STANDARD OIL.
Not much is said about Standard
oil, but it got its bite in California.
The old American Association for
the Protection of American Rights in
Mexico is being dragged into the hear
ing. This is the old time oil crowd
that fought so hard for intervention
in Mexico five and six years ago. This
is the crowd that constituted the
prosecution" when Fall, as senator,
conducted his Infamous hearings on
Mexico.
May the good old American Asso-
ciation for the Protection of Amer
lean Rights (what jokeD in Mexico,
get all that's coming to it!
One big angle of the case hasn't
been scratched, but it's in prospect
and it isn't being emphasized. It's the
stock market cleanup. 1t is said that
even if Sinclair loses Teapot Dome
his stock market winnings will be
enough.
But more sensational may be the
testimony in prospect as to WHO
ELSE cleaned up in the stock market.
And from where did they get their
tip?
There's something about ready to
crack on that phase of the question,
unless all the dope goes wrong.
The demand, first voiced in the labor
press, that the leases be cancelled,
seems likely to be fulfilled. The great
difficulty seems to be to find lawyers
to fight the governments case who
haven't been on an oil payroll some
where or some time.
So it goes, now that the lid is off !
and the truth is coming out. And
former Secretary Fall, taking refuge |
behind a shield of silence on the
ground that talk may incriminate him,
is the prime spectacle of the whole
show.

CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT


Here's good advice from the Chris
tian Science Monitor, which says:
"The proposed child labor amend
ment to the constitution of the United
States is now in committee 1t must
not stay there! You; and you, and
you can help to bring it out. You
would not like your child to be faced
with literal slavery, for that is what
it means to many employed perhaps
ten hours day at wearing tasks
when they should be in the school
room or nursery. Get in touch with
your congressman. Urge them to pry
the amendment out of the committee.
1t can be done, but immediate action
is needed on your part. Will you

MINERS ARE VICTORIOUS

Under the uncompromising leader.
ship of John L. Lewis, the United
Mine Workers convention hammered
the eternal daylights out of the Reds
That is the most important thing
about the big Indianapolis convention
because if the Reds had not been
pounded into defeat no constructive
work would have been possible.
The agents of Moscow were on the
job. There was Foster, rounding up
his forces of disruption in nightly war
councils. There was Thomas Meyers
cough, of Pittsburg, Foster lieuten-
ant, in the so-called progressive min
ers' international committee. There
was Howat, of Kansas, who, after
his expulsion from the union, was
toured through the Pittsburgh dis
trict by Fosters red organization.
The whole red brigade was on the job
for the unholy purpose of smashing
the miners union.
They didn't get away with it.
The reds, playing the usual game,
sought to bring into their camp every
element in the convention that had a
grievance. But nothing doing. TRey
met only defeat.
But remember this: The forces
that tried to smash the miners union
have been on the job a long time.
They have been on the job in many
other unions. They have fixed pur-
pose which is destruction. They are
a part of an international machine.
Their purpose is revolution, the de-
struction of democracy and the es-
tablishment of dictatorship. That
is their object in the unions and in
every other field. They attack the
unions first as a means to conquering
the country.
The unions hold the front lines
against this attack. Remember that
in your union!

objection was raised to the attorney
general being connected with the
Teapot Dome oil probe. One senator
stated that there is widespread
suspicion throughout the country di-

That official enjoined the shop men,
classed them as criminals and said it
was his duty to enforce the anti-union

How he was petted and lauded then!
