The Employers Approve

The country's biggest open shop organization
has announced its whole-hearted Endorsement of
the platform of the democratic and republican
parties.
In the July issue of american Industries"
James A. Emery, the general counsel for this group
Of bosses, analyses both platforms and shows how
well they measure up with the demands made by
the open-shoppers in the matters involving the
relations between government and business, the
judiciary, taxation, foreign trade policies and the
merchant marine.
We are not surprised at the stamp of approval
accorded the democratic and republican parties by
the strongest organized group of employers in the
country. Nor are we astonished at the frankness
with which the platforms are welcomed We have
long ago been convinced of the truth that the don
key and the elephant feed from the same crib.
Yet, at this time the employers have more than
enough cause to warrant their jubilation at their
complete control of the big parties The declara-
ton of Emery is especially instructive as can be
seen for the following:
despite the alleged radicalism of the hour,
despite the threatening insstence of powerful
groups and the menace of third party, both plat
forms are free from ambiguous proposals to impair
judicial remedies or power in the interest of any
class. Despite the demand, no pledge is given
to enlarge congressional authority, to acquire and
operate public utilities, to grant aid or relief from
the public treasury or any form of exemption from
the general operation of the law.
"IN THE PAST DECADE, NO PREVIOUS
PARTY DECLARATION HAS BEEN FREE
FROM SUCH PROMISE. To this result the dis
cussion precipitated by the platform of Industry
1.-THE National Association of Manufacturers) has
made worthy contribution"
The above estimate of the platforms of both
parties is significant in two ways First of all we
are treated to justified boast of the growing in
fuence of big business the deliberations and
actions of the dominant political parties. What
is of most timely import is the positive evidence
afforded to the truth that both platforms are
dyedin-the-wool reactionary, that they speak more
decisively than ever in behalf of the exploiting
class.
The capitalist class has gotten splendid results
thru political organization. 1t is high time that
the workers take leaf out of the employing class
manual of politics. Only political and industrial
class organization can spell success for the work
ing masses.

Cars BOndholders Still Hope

Dispatches from New York relate that a So
called protective committee" for holders of I'm
perial Russian government bonds issued by the
Gar in 1916, of which $25,O00000 worth were sold
in the United States, is asking the bondholders
to renew the arrangement by which the committee
was organized for another two years. 1t expresses
the hope that by the expiration of that time the
BOlsheviki will have been persuaded to at least
begin paying interest on the bonds.
BondhOders never give up hope. Once they have
a set of printed papers telling them that the work
ers of suchandsuch a country, suchand-such
an industry, are bound to keep them in idleness
by the payment of fixed sums of money at regular
intervals, they never rest until they have found
means of forcing the payment That is what
armies, navies big guns, poison gas, deathrays,
etc. are for. That is what the mobilization" day,
to be carried out next September by the u. s..
Army, is for. Perhaps it is the mobilization pro-
ject that gives hope to the Czarst bondhoders that
they will be able to collect
Unfortunately for the parasites, but fortunately
for the workers and peasants of Russia the Soviet
Government is stronger today than ever. If the
bondholders really have any expectations of get
ing bit of interest payment the old discredted
bonds of the Gar, they should be preparing to
help force the Government of the United States
to give the Russian workers quid pro quo. That
lis, the Bosheviks may pay-but only if they re-
ceive in return not only recognition but also very
definite and tangible concessions in the way of
credit

Introducing Mr.. Davis.

John w. Davis needs no introduce
ton to the workers and farmers. He
needs even less introduction to the
capitalists.
AS a member of the law firm of
Stetson, Jennings, and Russell, Mr..
Davis has been serving as the per-
sonal counsel of ]. P. Morgan and
Company.
But when the democratic convention
respected Doheny oil in refusing to
nominate McAdoo, it accepted Stand
ard oil in choosing John w. Davis.
When the noted expert on internation-
al diplomacy, John Basset Moore, res
signed his post in the Standard Oil
Company, in order to become mem

al Justice, John w. Davis stepped into
his place and has since functioned as

fairs.

stress on the fact that he was intim-

ately connected with the framing OF
the Clayton Act while he was Solicitor
General. Without delving into his-\
torical why and wherefore and the
real value of this law, to the workers,
one can easily puncture this election
gas balloon of Davis by citing merely
one subsequent event. 1t was the
Coronado decision with which Mr..
Davis was even more intimately con-
nected than with the Clayton Act,
that wiped out whatever possible bene-
fits the workers might garner from the
latter law. And, it was the same Mr..
John w. Davis who was responsible
Ser the Coronado decision.
1t certainly was no accident that
Mr.. Davis was hired in the Coronado
to undo what the Clayton Act might,
at it's best, mean to the workers. No
doubt, it was Mr.. Davis acquaintance
with and intimate knowledge Of the
Clayton law that caused his being
hired by the Coronado Coal Company
in its effort to wipe the law OF the
statute books.

press would not and could not>be turned against
them as in the case of the working men on strike.
Then the workers turned in despair to the courts.
The lower branch of our judiciary aristocracy
ruled that it had no jurisdiction. How illuminat-
ing it is to note that the courts confess they have
no right to make the employers toe the mark in
questions of dispute with workingmen! The APP
pelate~diyision in the Keystone state, dominated
by the Pennsylvania Railroad, then came across
with confirmation of the district courts action
Here we have it. When the Railway Board de-
cides against the workers, the courts leap to the
defense of the bosses and supply the legal fiction
and for the mobilization of the strike-break
ing forces of the government against the employees
striking in protest When, perchance, the same
antilabor board hands down decision not adj
verse to the workers, then the courts step in and
nullify such actions. In a word, what one depart
ment of the government might fail to do for the
employers, another is sure to make up for.
This is capitalist justice with vengeance This
is employing class democracy at its purest.

The Capitalist International

When the London Conference meets to discuss
the application of the Dawes plan for settling the
Preparations problem the problem that it has to
solve is the healing of the split in the Capitalist
International-whic is another way of saying
that it must find ways and means to bring the
recalcitrant groups of national capitalists to ac
cept the hegemony of j. P. Morgan & Co. When
that is finally accomplished America will enter the
League of Nations, set up housekeeping there and
capitalism will be ''inifed"-until it splits again
just as the capitalists of Germany, in the worst
hour of crisis, were saved by the SocialDemocracy
of Scheidemann, Ebert and Noske, so is the Capt.
talist International finding today its ablest de-
tenders in the leaders and parties of the Second
international. Who is leading the fight in Lon
don to put the Dawes report into effect, report
that will enslave the German workers, and thru
them, the workers of the world for generations
to come unless it is broken? 1t is Macdonald, the
prime minister of the Labor Government leader
of the Labor Party, head of the Second Interna-
tional 1t is Herriot, who came to power in France
thru the bloc des gGWcheS and the socialists of
the Second International.
1t is quite logical, therefore, that the capital
lists in the French and British parliaments form
erIy foes of Herriot and MacDonald) are reported
to be handling their ministers gently" They
should be gentle, for they will never get better
servants than these two worthless. But there is
no reason whatever for any who pretend to stand
for the rule of the workers and the overthrow of
capitalism to be gentle with these traitors to the
working class. What is happening in London is
that the "oficial" leaders of labor are trying to
tie the working class to the broken down capital
list system, and cement its falling stones again
with the blood and sweat of the exploited masses.

THE McAdoo forces are now blam-
| ing Wall Street f8 the defeat of
their candidate at the democratic con-
vention.
This charge is untrue. If Wall
Street means the owners Of the big
industries of the country, the moneyed
men who are high in the councils Of
finance, then certainly Wall Street
was not opposed. as a unit, to McAdoo
being the democratic standard bearer.
The truth of the matter is that the
McAdoo primary and convention cam
paigns were better financed than
those of any Of the other candidates
in the field. The cost entailed in or
ganizing the McAdoo primary drives
in the southern and western states
and the expenses involved in holding
the delegates in line at the New York
convention run into millions OF dol
lars Only men of great wealth, only
captains of industry and finance. can
supply such huge funds for political
purposes. These men are precisely
the ones who are to be found in Wall
Street and who, in the popular mind,
are Wall Street.
Barney Baruch, who invested heav-
lily in the McAdoo venture, is an old
timer in Wall Street He is one of the
leading spectators in the money mar
ket OF New York. Thomas L. Chad
bourne. another McAdoo hacker, re-
ceived his certificate OF naturalization
In Wall Street many years ago. To-
day he enjoys the back door conf

McADOO and WALL STREET

challenged the widely accepted state
ment that the financial "anger of the
democratic party invested approx
mately ten million dollars of 315 per
cent tax-exempt government bonds in
their primary and convention activi-
ties. Who but a powerful figure in
Wall Street could make such a huge
investment?
All this denunciation of Wall Street
by McAdoo and his allies is empty
talk. If McAdoo is at all disappointed
at Wall Street it is simply because
he did not get as much of its support
as he thought he was worthy of and
because John w. Davis got more sup
port than he did.
McAdoo's latest anti-Wall Street flu
sillade is primarily an attempt on his
part to continue his pose as q progress
sive. He will deceive no one.

The Courts Again

Another blow has been struck at the workers
in the decision Of the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals against the railway employees of the
Pennsylvania system receiving the wages awarded
them by the Railway Labor Board
Attacks on the workers are by this time, second
nature to our courts of justice In this instance,
however, the lengths to which the judges will rrav-
ell in undermining the working class organizations
are brought home very painfully.
The shop crafts federation sued the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad for fifteen million dollars of back pay
due the workers on the basis of decision rendered
by the Railway Labor Board In addition to the
enforcement Of the wage ruling the question of
working conditions was also involved The Penn
sylvania simply would not listen to the Railroad
Board which almost always rules against the work
ers on important points of dispute. The rail mag
mates felt that there no power that could com
bel them to obey the Boards decision. These
capitalists knew full well that the army and the

Capitalist society is ripe for de-bunk-

Gompers is more than unusually i'll.
This is indicated by the growing
speculation regarding his successor.
Among those mentioned for Gomper's
sceptre are Matthew Vol, the Crown
Prince, George L. Berry, the strike
breaker, John L. Lewis, ditto, and Mr..
Hutchinson of the carpenters. Each
one of these gentlemen would serve
the capitalist class to the best of their
abilities but none Of them could fill
the vacancy as well as the master.
Gompers is worth his weight in gold

jealousy of each other as they do now.

 The X-Ray And Disease | Almost everyone knows that the X-ray is a form of light energy. The Trays will pass through substances which are solid, and thus permit photograph ing of objects beneath solid obstruc- tions. A certain amount of the rays is absorbed according to the density and thickness of the substance through which they pass.
 Dr. George B. Pfahler points out that, like other forms of light, the X-rays produce no sensation in the parts through which they pass. They do not produce heat, because they con tain no heat rays, but they do produce 1 other effects on the tissues of the hu- man body. For this reason it is inn portant that the X-ray be used just long enough and just strong enough to produce the effect that is wanted.
 The rays very in their strength and character, and the physician who has made special study of the matter is capable of using each type of ray for the certain effects that it will produce. Sometimes the rays are used to stimu- late. human tissues that are not suf- ficiently active; at other times, they are used to destroy tissue, as in the treatment of cancer. In such cases, the rays destroy the diseased tissue without destroying the cells of the healthy tis- sue. It has been shown that diseased cells are more sensitive to the rays than are normal cells.
 As indicated by Dr. Pfahler, the present medical opinion is that the X-ray should be used in the treatment of disease when simple measures will not do as well. They should not, how ever, replace the use of simple methods of treatment which are satisfactory.
 Through the extension of medical investigation, numerous uses for the X-ray have been found in addition to their extensive use in the diagnosis of disease. The X-ray has been used to af- feet the blood-forfning organs such as the bone marrow and the blood destroying organs such as the spleen. It has been used in treatment of dis eases of the chest, in whooping cought
  and in all forms of overgrowth of tissue.
 The greatest attention to the use of X-ray has been centered recently on the treatment of cancer. It is now rather well established that cancers of the skin can be effectively treated early by X-ray or radium, and that cancers in other parts of the body, after re- moval by the use of the knife, may sometimes be inhibited from further growth by exposure to the X-ray.
 It is known that there are certain disturbances of the skin, such as warts, moles and other growths which, when irritated, may become cancerous. It is, therefore, considered advisable in case such growths seem to be developing or to have unusual symptoms, to consult physician, and, with his advice, either to submit to application of X-ray or radium or to see that the growth is removed.

 G A I 1oa,. any age, if she wishes s,t 5, #,
 Garden says, in an interesting itetview recorded in Good Housekeep- ing. "In middle ge," she goes on, "she may add the wisdom and attraction of experience. Everyone has heard of Ninon de L'Enclos, the famous French beauty who at 80 still exercised a subtle fascination upon all who met her. Ninon possessed the secret of eternal youth. And that secret is to retain perpetual ecstasy in living !, to live only in the future, never in the past.
 Nov I do not fear age," the famous star affirms, for it is possible to con quer the future. Nor do deny my years. Everyone knows my age; it would be preposterous for me to try to conceal it. And why should I? There gre compensations in maturity, advan- tages even, that are not perceptible to the very young. People often seek to compliment me by asking that T. am now at the height of my career, that have reached my greatest success as an artist. But have not, and say this emphatically. In a sense my career is only beginning There are infinite worlds fo1 me to conquer; worlds that J do not lie in anything external to me, but in my mind and heart.
 Naturally, no woman can afford to neglect the usual precautions which aid her in preserving her physical attrac- ;tiveness," Mary Garden proceeds to counsel readers. "A regular life, enough sleep, strict attention to diet any form of exercise consistently pur- sued and an undeviating solicitude and attention to personal appearance upon all occasions are the chief of those precaution. No woman can affoMl to let yerself go at any age, no matter low young or beautiful she may be. To do so is to begin to form habit of laziness and inertia which is not only physically, but morally and spirit ually damaging. To take these pre- cautions is an obligation of intelligence. It is equivalent to deliberate refusal to degenerate. sometimes think that in woman vanity and pride in physi- cal appearance is an index of cultiva- tion. A savage can be}sloppy and care less, but a determination to make the most of oneself indicates civilization of the spirit.
 'sThe chief point, however, is to have dH dmDltlOu tudC spurs yOu Ou VO pOS- sess some definite purpose toward which, you are working and for which you are living. That is the only in fallible defense that I know against the exactions of time. To face the future with courage, with expectancy, with clearly conceived objective, is really equivalent to annihilating the future.
 "Every woman, whether or not en- gagged in profusion, and whether or not she is conscious of it, possesses some such objective. It may be the happiness or success of her children, or the advancement of her. husband, or the progress of some activity-per- haps political or social-in which she is concerned. She may be living vicari- Gusly and unselfishly in the lives of others. But at bottom she cherishes some, ambition and some hope. It is in her thrilled ambitions and hopes that her youth still lives. Therefore she should be as thoroughly conscious of them as possible"

Answer-It is well known that cer- tain drugs, especially quinine are prone to affect the auditory nerve, which is one of the most vulnerable of the era nial nerves. In come cases even small doses of quinine have been known to produce intense ringing in the ears. At times marked impairment of hearing has occurred, but it is transient.
 Of course, in malaria, in which quinine is a specific, it is necessary to give the drug. In most conditions other drugs will answer the purpose without endangering the ears.
 The ringing noise is sometimes per manent. In order to relieve the patient it is customary to produce active elimi- nation by means of drinking much water. A physician will usually pre- scribe suitable sedatives. Usually this medication will relieve the noises; but, as before stated, some cases are quite intractable,
