Nothing recently appearing in the
Leader has excited more general in
terest than the brief extract from the
speech of Senator Robert L. Owen, of
Oklahoma, which was printed in last
weeks paper. 1t has occasioned num-
berless inquiries, chief among which
is why, if such an exposure was made
on the floor of the Senate, was it not
published, or at least mentioned, by
any of the big daily newspapers of
the country. That is mystery which
might be explained in several ways.
1t is hardly possible that it was be-
cause sufficient inducement was Of
fered the press associations to sup
press it, for if such had been the case
it could not have escaped the notice
of the big army of special correspon-
dents kept on duty by the daily press
of the country. 1t is possible that the
House of Morgan, the great money,
interests of Wall street, aided per-
haps by the army of war grafters and
profteers, who reaped an abundant
harvest through munition contracts,
bum airplanes and dozens of other
crooked schemes, are able to control
and dictate the policy of the public
press-more unlikely things have
happened in the past. Nevertheless the
speech was delivered by Senator Owen
in the United States Senate on De-
cmber 18, just one month ago today,
and appeared in the Congressional
Record, copy Of which is on file in
this office.
The Senators exposure of the real
causes which led up to the great world
war make some interesting reading,

THIS BOY NOT AFRAID OF WORK

How about working 6209 consecu-
tive days, Sundays included, without
a day off? Some record, eh! Yet
that is just what Orange Barrett, the
efficient custodian of the Newark
Trust Co. building has done in the
past seventeen years-during all that
time, rain or shine, hot or cold, he
has never failed to report for duty.
Is there anyone, in Newark or else
where who can equal his record?

LABOR ON THE JOB, AS USUAL

The Citizens Advisory Committee
called a meeting for Thursday night
of last week for the purpose of dis
cussing the proposition of placing an
other building upon the State House
grounds in Columbus, and notices
were sent out to that effect. A good
attendance would consequently be ex-
pected, as the matter is of real i'm
portance to the citizens and tax pay
ers of Ohio.
Such expectations were far from be-
ing realized, although judging from
the account of the affair which ap-
peared in one of our city dailies one
would infer that big crowd did much
business.
The real truth is that the delegates
from the Newark Trades and Labor
Assembly and the ever faithful and
efficient Secretary Searl Nethers were
absolutely the only ones present, and
while pleasant social hour was en-
joyed, it naturally follows that not
great amount of actual business was
accomplished.
This goes to prove that the rep
resentatives of labor are always on
the job, ever ready to devote time and
energy towards the advancement of
the public welfare, and to sacrifice
personal pleasure and comfort to ac-
complish their purpose. Of course it
rained, and rained hard, at the time
the meeting was held, but probably
ninety-nine per cent of those whose
presence was expected were the own
ers of automobiles and could have
ridden dry-shod to door. But they
preferred to remain away, while the
representatives of labor were not de-
tered by the .downpour but showed
up on time ready for business.

st. Louis Judge
Permits PiCketing

st. Louis-Circuit Judge Mc-El-
Kinney here has refused to enjoin
peaceful picketing. The application
for an injunction came from the Man
ganese Steel Co. against which Mol
ders' local SO has conducted a strike
since October Is, when the company
refused an increase of wages which
had been accepted by the other foun-
dries. Strikebreakers are housed and
fed on the premises, working nights
and Sundays, union pickets report.
The court told the strikers they would
be allowed to continue picketing pro-
viding it was not accompanied by Sin
timidation, threats or violence.
Against the latter acts the court is
sued temporary injunction, return
able last Monday.

example of the biblical widow who
lighted a candle and diligently swept
the house, he nevertheless grievously
lamented; but his grief was suddenly
turned into joy when another sub
scriber about six feet three tall and
the living image of "Old Abe," en-
tered the door on the lookout for the
owner of a one dollar bill which he
had just picked up on the stairway
leading to the office. The rescuer,
who is ever a welcome visitor, was re-
ceived with open arms.

The People Glad to Learn
Real Cause of Great
World War
Which Has Been Denied to Them,
Now Anxious to KnOw"HOw Did
We Get Into It?" Cannot and
Will Not Sen. Owen Give Them
the Answer?

which could have become known to
the people had not the daily press
refused to give their millions of
readers an opportunity of seeing it.
This is one thing the people ought
to know; but another piece of infor-
nation they are clamoring for is
How did we get into it? Why was
the United States forced into a quar-
rel between nations which were sep
arated from US by three or four
thousand miles of water, and which
was brought about by the secret
schemes and plans of old world dip
lomats-especially those of France,
Russia and Great Britain, aided and
abetted by the great financial powers
and subsidized press of America.
The people appreciate and believe
the outspoken, fearless statements of
Senator Owen, who has devoted so
much time to securing the informa-
ltion necessary to enable him to ex-
pose and make public the real cause
of the late war. What they now
want him to do is to discover and tell
them just how we got into the mess,
and were forced into the most hor-
rible and cruel war the world has
ever known, which resulted in the
death of thousands of the very flower
of Americas young manhood, wrecked
and destroyed the health of many
hundred thousands more, and brought
sorrow, destitution and poverty upon
a still greater number of mothers,
wives and children throughout the
whole nation.
Let him do this, let him explain
chow we got into it, and the people
will arise and call him blessed.

order to avoid a smash up.
No auto bus should come to halt
until it has been brought close to the
curb. By having and enforcing rule
of this nature many future accidents
may be avoided, besides making it
more convenient for passengers to

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE

The universal practice of the city
passenger busses of stopping sudden

any place on the street for the accom-
mediation of passengers should be

Alabama Convict Labor

Montgomery, Ala.-Offcials are
trying to abolish the convict lease sys-
tenn. Alabama is said to be the last
state to cling to this barbarous sys-
tenn. If plans go through the state
would sell the output from it's leased
mines to the former operators at an
equitable price, thus allowing the
state pay for the labor of it's convicts
and Offering opportunity for the oper-
ators to handle their product on a
competitive, commercial basis.
