BY ART SHIELDS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-Amalgama-
ton with the Journeymen BARRIERS
international Union, was good move
for the 1900 members of his organiza-
ton, says Peter Midolla, president of
the Independent Journeymen BARRIERS
Union of Brooklyn.
Having heard of the rivalry that ex-
listed for years between the independ-
ent union and the A. F. of L. asked
Midolla the reasons for the amalga,
nation that has recently been an
nounced.
Conditions Force Unity.
Both organizations felt the need Of
unity" said the local president. "Our
union had a strike last summer. 1t
was long and hard. It was a lot
harder because we lacked the sup
port Of the rest of the trade unions
A BARRIERS strike needs all the public
backing it can get. Some Of the boss
BARRIERS did not renew the agreement
until some time after the strike was
over. Eventually we got agreements
for 1872 a week and commissions in
all shops, which is even better than
before-wages used to run form $50
to $32-and we had a pretty strong To-
cal, but we saw the need Of more
strength and unity.
"There used to be trouble when A.
F. Of L. BARRIERS came to work in
Brooklyn and refused to recognize our
union. There was confusion of differ
ent kinds.
Proportional Representation.
"Now we are linked up with the
rest of the union BARRIERS Of New York
thru the joint board. In the negotia-
tions that came before we formally
amalgamated with the A. F. of L. the
international men promised to make
certain changes in the joint board
which we requested. They agreed to
proportional representation on the
| joint board. Each local is to be repre-
sented according to the size of its
membership. We expect that change
to be made shortly.
"Three organizers who will be ex-
pected to go after the unorganized
men in New York and Brooklyn and
Queens, and there are thousands, will
be selected by the joint board, not op-
pointed by the international. That
was another thing we asked for and
have been promised. The situation is
very encouraging" The T. U. E. l..
has many adherents in the trade, it
was said at the independents hall and
aided the amalgamation movement
well.

HARRINGTON AID
TO DICTIONARIES
Faker En- dorses til e
Enemy of Workers

The following is copy Of a letter
OF endorsement for the American leg
ion signed by Frank Harrington, pres
ident of the Illinois Mine Workers.
This disgraceful faker has the gall to
pose as a friend of the workers after
thus praising the white guard bulwark
Of capitalist rule which is responsible
for the murder of workers and has
broken strike after strike-the Ameri-
can legion.
1t will be noted that Harrington tries
to cover his treachery with the plaus-
ible argument about joining the legion
to fight from the inside" If the
legion was a labor organization that
might be logical. In the case of the
U. M. w. Of A. the policy of the T..
U. z. L. to work within the union
to bring it closer to revolution is, take
note, desperately opposed by takers in
the union, including Franz Earring
ton. The left wing Of red miners will
! take Farrington's word to heart and
work to put him and his kind out of
control. The letter follows:

Dear Sir:
With this I reply to your letter
Of December Sth in which you ask
for my opinion concerning the ac-
tivities of the American legion in
labor controversies.
Frankly, tell you that I do not
know Of any reason why the organ.
lied labor movement should be un-
friendly to the American legion. 1t
is true that on different occasions,
individual members of the legion
have been guilty of conduct un-
friendly to the organized labor
al movement, but I have never heard
y Of single instance where the Am
erican legion, as an organization,
has been guilty of doing anything
harmful to the organized labor
movement and instead of there be.
ing enmity between the two organ.
izations, a spirit of friendliness
should prevail.
Thousands of the members of the
United Mine Workers of America
are eligible for membership in the
American legion and they should
take their place in that organiza
ton and do their part towards mold
ing the policies Of the American
legion, then the legion would be
sure to be right on labor matters,
if perchance there should be a dis
position to be unfriendly, which /
am sure, does not exist My expert.
ence has been that Il is best to fight
from the inside rather than from
the outside and If union men should
have any reason for being antagon-
istic to the American legion, the
thing to do would be for those who
are eligible to hold membership in
that organization, should get into
the legion and correct the wrong,
instead Of refraining from joining
the legion.
Briefly stated, the above is an out.
line Of my attitude towards the Am
erican legion. Yours truly,
Signed, F. harrington, president.

Hard Points Out That Bonus
and Tax Reduction Laws
Were to Be Expected
By WILLIAM HARD

A careful survey and summary
Of the new situations left to
Washington by the acts Of the
late Congress give rise here 70
the opinion that the American
ship Of state is sailing under re-
markably clear skies and over re-
markably smooth seas.
The last Congress, it is noted,
in both its sessions put together,
extending from December of year
before last to the present month
Of this year, found astonishingly
few problems demanding or get
ting constructive new legislative
treatment.
This late Congress was publicly
Noted particularly for its passage
Of the bonus bin and for its
passage Of q mutilated Mellon
taxation reduction bill. Neither
Of these accomplishments is re-
garded here as being in the cate
CORY Of constructive legislation.
Bonus Only Natural.
Certainly a bonus to ex-soldiers
made no change in the structure
Of our governmental administra-
tion; and, as for the reduction Of
taxes, it has always happened after
all our wars and Il q perfectly
normal and almost automatic thing
In postwar circumstances. Wash
ingtOn therefore does not look
upon either the bonus bill or the
taxation reduction bill as having
entitled the late Congress 10 any
credit for revolutionary contribu-
tions to the statute books.
Searching for such contributions
throughout the mass Of laws en-.
acted by the late Congress, stu
dents and observers here find only
three to which they attach any
great Importance.

FRIES DEFENDS
USE OF GAS IN.
WARFARE
More Humane Than Bullets,
Chief Of Chemical Service
Tells Business Men

The chemical industry is. the
backbone Of the national defense
today, Major General A. A. Fries,
chief Of the Army Chemical War
fare Service declared in q speech
to the Columbia Heights Busin 4ss
Mems Association meeting last
night at 1404 Park road northwest.
A vigorous defense Of the use of
chemicals in warfare was made by
General Fries, who declared that
gasee, are the most humane method
that can be employed in overcom-
Ing ones enemies In war.
Chemical warfare has been
called the newest method Of war
fare, but 1t isn't. It's the oldest
in e1istence. The cave man smoked
out his fellow man in order to steal
his wife. This was the beginning
Of chemical warfare" he said.
GAsses Known to All Chemists.
The materials are said to be
new and strange substances in
vented by human devils in army
and navy laboratories, and they are
not. Most Of them are known to
all chemists. All used in war or
now ready Tor use were discovered
long ago by mild-eyed men ana
earnest women searching for medi-
cineg to make my "Iady-beautifuI, !"
more wonderful in the sight Of
man.
1T has been said to eat out the
lungs. to bring on lingering death.
and the white plague, but it
doesn't.
''In war the American boy who
was gassed had twelve times as
many chances 20 come home alive
az the boy struck by bullets, high
explosive shells, or the fIendish
bayonet. And when he came home
he had ten times the chance to 20
on through life q whole man and
q we'll man than IL struck by pow-
der driven steel"
General Fries then attacked those
who hope to- prevent the use OF
gas in war by outlawing it. He
"And the thoughtIess, jumping at
these false conclusions like q trout
jumping ct Q f1y have said: Let
us outlaw gas, and thereby stop
its use In war And then gaining
confidence in their Wild theories
40 they mouthed them day by day
they say. Let's outlaw war; ap-
parently thinking to outlaw means
to stop.
Every peace treaty IL q treaty
outlawing war and peace treaties
have ever been broken since first
treaties were made.
/ LET US outlaw war but keep our
chemical industry at its highest
pitch. Let ils make our chemical
industry the best and most efficient
In the world. Let us strengthen by
all means our air forces and other
elements OF national defense. We
are q peaceable nation. We coVet
no nations lands or products. We
want only peace with honor, justice
and equal rights with all others
throughout the world.
But rich as we are beyond the
widest dreams of Croesus we will
lose peace with honor the moment
national weakness indicates war on
us might be successful. The new
arms, chemical warfare and air
service must Be pushed to a prcrer
place in our national defense"
