Approving Brother LelOis

Additional evidence comes to hand daily to
prove that Brother John L. Lewis is playing
just the kind of game the coal operators and
other employers like to see him play
The Chicago Tribune is a canny sheet that
can scent danger for the class it represents for
a considerable distance. 1t is equally COM
petent in discerning the waning of a menace
Speaking in an approving manner of the
recommendations Of Brother Lewis to the con-
vention in Indianapolis, the Tribune says:
AS president of this organization, John
L. Lewis has naturally acquired reputa-
ton as a stormy petrol. Yet in fact he
has been a competent and reasonable
leader**%of late all labor has been show
ing tendency to reason***Not long ago
the union read communist agitators out of
its ranks. 1t has printed expose of
radicals. 1t has taken hatfooted stand
in favor of Americanism and against Boil
shevik influence. ***It was generally
coded that the miners convention would
demand shorter days, shorter weeks,
wage increase of 10 to 20 per cent and
speedy naturalization of the mines.
These expectations are now pleasantly
disappointed. The convention has unani-
mously adopted Mr.. Lewis report, which
displays commendable moderation.
There is little that we can add to this proof
of the admiration of the employers and their
press Tor Brother Lewis except TO say That tney
know whereof they speak
When the capitalist press expresses satisfac-
ton with the policies advocated by the presi-
dent of the largest union in America, union
that operates in a basic industry it can be con-
sidered fairly certain that someone is getting
the worst Of the bargain and that it is not the
employers
Crude accusations of SELLING OUT and "be-
trayal" have weak sound beside such state
ments by the enemies of the miners union and
the rest of the American working-class.

The Cabinet Bnnditry

The more the Teapot Dome matter is stirred
by the senate investigating committee the more
roisone is the smell that arises. The noXlous
fumes seem to take a malicious delight in curl
ing about the head of practically every prom
inent member Of the administration from the
president down-and when one starts to go
down from Coolidge into the personnel OF his
cabinet one can sink to very low depths indeed
President Coolidge, as vice-president, was
member of the cabinet that decided to peddle
the naval oil reserves; Secretary OF the Navy
DENLY approved the leases and Assistant Sec
retary of the Navy Roosevelt signed them Tor
him. Secretary of the Interior Fall conducted
the negotiations and received Sl35,OOO mono
rarium for his services from Doheny ana oln-
clair. Acknowledgement Daugherty, that
staunch defender of the constitution, consulted
in his official capacity as to the legality OF the
transaction let the good work go on. Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon, engaged IN lowering the
taxes of himself and other muti-million
made no protest. Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace was too busy staging milking contests
with Magnus johnson to pay any attention 10
the deal. Secretary of Labor Davis, the boot
black of the administration, in arranging Tor
the fnger-printing of all foreign-born working
men for the convenience Of the corporations,
overlooked the fact that gathered around the
present administration is a gang OF lO0 per
cent Americans whom the evidence shows are
at all times ready and able to purloln anything
except red-hot stove or a cellar full Of water
1t seems fairly certain, from the testimony
given before the senate investigating commit
tee. that since the advent of the forces of
sweetness and light personifed in the Harding
and now in the Coolidge administration, every
thing in Washington with two ends to it and
of any value has been in hourly danger OF
mysteriously disappearing.
To us this occasions no surprise except that
some of the thieves have been caught with the
loot concealed about their persons; this is
rather unusual and constitutes the real sensa-
tion The theft of rich natural resources has
been going on for many years and most of those
who have grown wealthy and powerful from
the proceeds of such robbery are held up to the
American youth as examples of American
thrift and enterprise.
If any of the Cooidge-Fa -Daugherty -Roose-
velt-Sinclair- Doheny outfit are stripped of their
loot and sent to jail-a possibility that arouses
enormous skepticism in us-it will not be as
punishment for their crimes against the nation
1t will be solely and simply for being careless;
so careless that the official agencies of Amer
lean capitalist enterprise are held up to the
ridicule of the mob.
They have committed the objectionable sin
against the capitalist system-not against its
moral code.
They have been found out.

Private Management Reduces Roads to Junk

good deal more to say about risking
their necks on defective engines and
cars, hence repair bills were larger.

ASKOV FARMER
DIES SUDDENLY
Jens Mortensen is Victim
of Pneumonia. Funeral
Held Yesterday.

The community was shocked
Monday when the word was
passed around that Jens Morton
sen, living 8 miles north of Askov
had passed away about 1870 that
forenoon following but a weeks
illness of pneumonia. Mr.. Nor
Jensen had been i'll with pneumo-
MIA two times previously with in
tervals of about seven or eight
years. This time when the crisis
came the heart was too weak to
endure it.
Jens Mortensen was born on
Apr. II. 1866. in Denmark, where
he grew to manhood, emigrating
to America in 1895, arriving in
New York City on July 4. He was
married there the following day
to Laura Nielsen. They proceed
ed on to Chicago where they
lived for many years until the
family came to Askov ten years
ago. Five children have been
born to this union. four of whom

Reply: No plans have been
made. The President has not de-
cided whether he will make an
extensive tour for speechmaking
purposes or conduct the cam
paign from the front porch of the
White House."
Another inquiry was made as
to the subjects discussed by the
President and Governor Preus. of
Minnesota. According to this
highest authority" it was mere
ly casual conversation and had
nothing to do with the political
situation in the Northwest.
A question undoubtedly in
spired by protests from millions
of radio fans against the action
of the Senate Finance copmittee
in recommending a tax on radio
supplies was submitted to the
White House official"
1T is an interesting inquiry"
remarked the spokesman smil-
ingly. Then, in a more serious
tone he declared that 1T may
be laid down as a broad principle
that the President does not favor
increases in taxes. Every effort
has been made to economic in
federal expenditures in order to
bring about tax reduction, and
no additions will be favored.
Perhaps some exceptions are
justifiable where certain COM
modities are now free from taxa

Washington, April 9.-Reason-
able doubt apparently exists in
the minds of the reading public
as to the extent of militant pro-
paganda emanating from the var
ious official and quasi-political
sources in the Capital. 1t is
natural that there should be
widespread differences of opin-
ions as to what subjects are up
permost in the popular mind as
they relate to public affairs.
What actually transpires behind
the scenes before its presenta-
ton by various interpretations to
the reading public may be
illustrated from notes of Wash
ington correspondent on Friday
last.
Perhaps the most widely dis
cussed individual, who is neces-
sarily anonymous, is known var
iously in newspaper accounts as
"the highest authority" and a
spokesman for the President. "
A complete report of a twenty
minute interview with this
anonymity without regard to
subjective interests or biases,
will reveal the questions pro-
pounded by the American press.
The first inquiry deals with a
White House breakfast, at which
several Senators were guests.
The spokesman replies that
the President believes in the
policy of breaking bread with
legislative leaders in order to
conserve their time and to keep
in touch with current measures.
This authority" stated that the
approach of warm weather would
bring about meetings of this
character on the Mayflower for
a week end cruise.
