Reports from Germany tell of the
appointment of Fraulein Lisa Tetz-
ner, q former school teacher, as "offi-
cial fairy story teller" Fraulein
Tetzner's Job is to go from city to
city, telling fairy stories to the boys
and girls who begin to toll in Ger
many's mines and mills at an early
age. The government thinks that the
fairy tales will bring little romance
into the dreary lives of the youthful
child workers.
AS yet, the United States hasn't
any official fairy story teller but it
has plenty of unofficial spinners of
fairy tales. The leaders in this kind
of story telling are the "open shop
pers" and their publicity men. Their
wild yarns beat anything that Ger
many's official romancer can tell and
lead to the conclusion that Germany
hasn't anything on the United States
when it comes to romantic stories.

NON-UNION MINERS (
SUFFER WAGE CUT

Charleston, W. Va, Feb. 21.-Mc-
Dowell county miners, who have been
told they are "free and independent, /"
have been handed a 10 per cent wage
reduction. That county is a bulwark
of anti-unionism, and is filled with
strikebreakers, gun men and thugs.
The coal mined by these workers
costs the consumer as much as coal
mined by organized miners. The lat
ter are now fighting to improve their
conditions, though handicapped by
Mcdowell county, Logan county and
other anti-union fields.
This anti-union policy has brought
starvation to thousands of West Vir-
ginia families. Recently the Cincin-
natl Post investigated conditions
along Cabin Creek, the Big and Little
Coal rivers and other sections. The

clothing to protect them from wintry

For years organized labor has made
this point, and has appealed to the
public for aid in their unequal con-

BY The Way
Comment and Criticism About
Things Doing in the World

Mastery inactivity followed by
spasms of near Mysteries describes
the action of Congress in the oil lease
scandals.
Many months ago, facts had been
unearthed which showed that Teapot
Dome and other oil lands invaluable
to the nation in time of war were be-
ing given to oil companies for their
own profit. International Labor News
Service told the story in detail and
it was printed in the labor press all
over the United States. Organized
labor demanded action but Congress
refused to get excited.
Now, long after the oil grabs were
put through, Congress suddenly
wakes up to the fact that a crime
has been committed. The result has
been a flood of fevered oratory,
coupled with action that is far from
judicial and which gives certain ac-
cused men the opportunity to init
mate that they are being prosecuted
If Congress had acted with deter
mination and vigor but without hys-
terics, when the oil grabs were first
exposed, better results would have
been obtained and the oil reserve
lands would again be in possession of
the government.
Verify, Congress is a queer ANIMAL
Senator La Toilette paid deserved

the oil scandals to International Labor
News Service. The senator said: Z
II can not pass on to the body of
my address without saying a word
about the splendid services of a pri-
vate citizen, Harry A. Slattery, of
Washington, D. c., who l know has
contributed in no small measure to
the development of this case. For
many years as secretary of the Ma
tional Conservation Association and
later as a practicing attorney, Mr..
Slattery has been a veritable watch
dog of the nations resources. In
every contest over these resources he
has been on the peoples side, ready
to give his time without compensation
and devote his knowledge of these
questions to the public service. On
more than one occasion during the
long fight that has been made on this
floor to protect the nations water
power, its timber, its ores, and its
oil from ruthless exploitation l have
called for Mr.. Slattery's assistance
and never found him wanting"

Unemployment's terrible results are
wildly illustrated by reports from
Vienna telling of an epidemic of sui
cides in the Austrian capital. Most
of the suicides were attributed to the
widespread Unemployment. In one
day alone, eleven persons took their
lives.
American workers can congratulate
themselves that thanks largely to or
ganized labor's refusal to accept wage
slashes in the years following the
armistice, there has been no pro-
lOnged period Of unemployment in
this country, as has been the case in
Europe. If there had been wide
spread and long continued unemploy-
ment here, the papers would doubt
less be reporting epidemics of sui
cides from American cities, as there
is nothing that tends more toward
the despair which leads to suicide
than unemployment, stretched over
weary months and years.
