tinued:
1T had been anticipated that the
air would be full of hoofs, horns,
hide, hair, sand and gravel when he
sbegan riding herd on the senator's,
and the result has justified the antici-
patton.
"Ride 'em, cowboy! Sock 'em
another one!" is the general wish out
this way. 1t is hoped that Dawes will
have time clocks installed at the en-
trance to the senate chamber, in all
of the committee rooms and in each
senator's office in the senate office
building, and that he will have an
efficiency expert to help him keep tab
on the quantity output and the num-
Der of hours worked. This would be
regarded as a just retribution to the
old guardsmen for putting Dawes on
the republican ticket at the behest
of the big financial interests and
union busters" of America.
''It would be giving the senators a
l. c%o of %I, @Laf =
his kind want to cram down the
throats of the working men and wom-
en- of this country. Trade unionists
here are viewing with satisfaction the
fact that the standpat crowd will
have to live with Dawes for the next
four years.
1T was a smart reporter who got
the bright idea of giving the senators
chance to make dirty cracks al
Dawes for his conduct. Chicago trade
unionists read the senatorial com.
ments with great relish and hope that
the show will continue indefinitely.
Ride 'em, cowboy!

| UNCLE SAM FIRES" TYPOS
| Uncle Sam, who should be mode
employer, has set mighty bad ex
ample in summarily discharging 20,
employees of the government print
ing office at Washington.
The workers, many of whom ha,
been in the printing office for years
were told one Saturday night tina
their services were no longer requir
ed. They could have been given TIVE
weeks notice, but not word O.
warning was given; their discharg,
came like the proverbial bolt of light
ming out of clear sky. For reasons
of economy, it may have been neces
sary to discharge the men, but theil
rights and feelings should have beer
respected in dispensing with thei
services.
Such unfeeling action on the par
of government executives account:
for much of hostility to the govern
ment as an employer Washington
is full of stories of similar action by
government bureaus and departments
/ The government seems to have little
regard, in certain respects, for tn,
rights of it's employees.
The summary discharge of thu
printing office workers has aroused
storm of justified condemnation o.
the governments action. There wa:
no excuse for it and the administra
tion is hearing from the public in n;
uncertain terms. The public feel!
that it would be easy to establish tn,
custom of giving discharged EN-
ployes who are ''let go" for no faul
of their own are entitled to it.
If the present criticism results in /;
change of the governments policy il
discharging faithful employees, Uncl,
Sam as an employer will gain great!
in prestige, and will set a needed ex
ample to private employers who ar,
inclined to have no regard for th
rights of employees in firing" them
