Norris Sees Plan
To "Grab" Shoals

Washington, Feb. 13.--"lt Is u
matter of common gossip around the
capitol that private interests are at
tempting 4 new grab at Muscle
Shoals" said Senator Norris. In sup
port of this charge, the Nebraska
lawmaker called attention to support
being given a resolution passed by
the house which would create a joint
committee to deal with proposed Of
fers for Muscle Shoals by private cor
porations.
The senator asserted that his bill
to save the shoals for government
ownership is being antagonized by
interests that desire TO continue tc
gouge the people through the subter'
fuge Of making fertilizer for the
farmers. They have no thought that
any large part Of the power will ever
be used 10 produce fertilizer"
"In one case the gossip is so direci
as TO indicate that the pronosed Of
fer of one company Is already draw
and has been shown around the capi'
tai in advance Of the legislation thai
we are asked TO pass" said Senator
Norris.

Trust Suit Will Fail.
LaFOllette Predicts

Washington, FEB. 2A.--rhe govern
ment's suit against the bread trust
will fail, predicts Senator LaFollette,
The government, he said, should en-
join the Big Three corporations
from merging. He points out that no
attempt has been made TO require the
defendants to abandon their control OF
these corporations--the Ward, Cont
mental and General Baking corpora
ton.
Either of these three is big enough
to give MIR. Ward full opportunity TO
develop any possible economies by
large scale production" said Senator
I.aFollette.
"The effect OF the present proceed-
ings, even if the court grants every
dhing that the government now asks,
will be to leave Ward--the bread king
i'm undisputed control of the bread
industry. lie will be able TO issue
orders to each of the baking corpora
tons which he now controls, and of
which the government does not seek TO
deprive him, as effectively as If they
were merged into single trust.
Il sincerely hope. therefore, that
the department of justice will speedily
order its petition amended to cure this
defect

Il. $. Tariff Board
Opposed by Farmers

Washington, Feb. i3.--The National
Board of Farm Organizations has
called for the abolishment Of the
United tSates tariff commission. The
resolutions declare that the commits
sion's "elusive and labyrinthic meth
cd Of dealing with questions Of great
public moment Is bringing reproach
on all reputable governmental agen-
cies"
The commission is charged with re
opening hearings In an investigation
OF the tariff on butter and yenetable
oils and taking testimony Of repre-
sentatiyes Of the Danish government
in private conference without notice
10 other interested parties.
The commission has been under fire
from various quarters aud the claim Is
frequently made thai il is packed IN
the interest Is of certain powerful infiu-
enceS. The commission Was created
By the present tariff Law. Its adyo-
Gates claimed that the tariff would be
taken out Of politics as the commits
sion would conduct scientific invesii-
cations on whether tariff schedule
are too high OF too low. The claim D.
now made that rates have only been
lowered on MeSica upheasants that
are imported for breeding purposes.

Strike Saves Lives;
No Human Sacrifice

Philadelphia, Feb. l3.-Two hun
dred and fifty men are alive today
who would have been dead if there
had been no anthracite strike, said
John L. Lewis, president Of the Uni-
ted Mine Workers.
approximately 600 mine workers
are killed each year by accidents in
and around the mines" said Mr..
Lewis. THAT means that % men
lose their lives each month because Of
the terrible hazards of the anthra-
cite mining occupation. The strike has
been in effect more than five months.
In these five months $50 home-loving
workingmen would have made the su-
preme secnfice in order that the Am
erican public might have fuel.
Thirty thousand anthracite mine
workers are injured each year in the
same kind of accidents. This is an
average Of $500 manned and crippled
workers each month. Twelve thou
sand five hundred men would have
been injured, in greater OF less degree
in five months.
The anthracite operators are bru-
tally demanding that these workers
arbitrate the price for which they
shal Ioffer themselves as human sac
rifice upon the altar Of public serv-
ice. They ask the men TO ar5itrate
the price Of life and death

Union Dues Bring Big ~s
Return to Blind Man
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service
Washington, ID. C., Feb. 24.-Mau-
rice NJ. Smith paid SS0.24 in dues into
the international treasury of the
Brcklayers, Masons and Plasterers
international Union. He began paying
dues in February, 1881, and stopped
in August, 1918, when he was placed
on the relief roll. From August,
1918, to January 81, 1926, he paid
$23.50 in dues TO the international.
His total in dues paid is Sl03.7S.
From August, 1918, to January 81,
1926, Smith, as a relief member, drew
from the international a total OF
S2,24S, according to Secretary John
j. Gleeson, bountiful return on an
investment of $l03.7S.
Smith will continue TO draw 81 a
week relief or pension as long as he
lives. When he dies $500 mortuary
benefit will be paid. And If widow
survives she will be paid 81 a week
as long as she lives.
All of this is because Maurice M.
Smith joined the union of his trade.
Smith was for 20 years employed
by the Federal Government and the
District of Columbia. He lost the
sight of one eye while working on a
Federal building not covered by the
1908 Compensation Act. He became
totally blind when a flying bit of steel
or stone put out the other eye in 1918,
two years before the Federal Compen-
sation Act was broadened TO include
those in the classification in which
Smith then was employed. The Gov
ernment overlooked him, but the union
did not.

visit was made 10 the Mckinney
headuuarters here to either verify OF
disprove the report that life was ex-
tinct there. The report was verified
up to the hilt.
Headquarters Almost Deserted.
The official Mckinley headquarter.
are in the Great Northern Hotel. The
viist was made at 2:30 o'clock in ihe
afternoon OF a business day. The
place was completely dead except foi
the presence of one girl, who sat idly
before a typewriter. There was no,
another soul on the scene.
The young lady at the Great North
ern Hotel VOLUNTEERED the information
that 1--WE have another headquarters

walk over there revealed Andrew Rus
sic managing the Mckinley campaign
from Room 10i1. Russell was closeted
with one man, while four other mer
were sitting on chairs waiting. The
only other person present was a girl
stenographer.
1t is reported that Russel, who is
Senator McKinley's campaign man
ager, does not transact his business
at the Great Northern Hotel because
he is on the outs with Chester Will
loughby, the Senator's private seere-
tary. Willoughby rules tthe roost a
the Great Northern, while Russell holds
sway in the New York Life Building.
Mckinley in Town As Visits Are Made
Senator Mckinley was in Chicago
on the day when this lack of life
around his rival headquarters was in
evidence. He made a speech here on
that day.
A person might be led to believe
that convention is being held on
any day that Frank l.. Smith visits his
headquarters in the Congress Hotel
here. Besides the 35 or 40 men and
women who are industriously at work
there at all times, hundreds of per
sons come to see Colonel Smith when
they know he is in the city, which is
not often, because he already has
made a speaking trip through about
10 counties.
The only explanation that aoy one
can find for the lack of life in the
Mckinley campaign is that the SEN
ator and his lieutenants are relying
on gumshoe methods and the plentiful
use of money during the last couple of
weeks of the contest. 1t is recalled
that he apparently approved of such
methods by voting to seat Truman IL.
Newberry as United States Senator
from Michigan.

World Court; Mckinley;
American Legion

Senator Mckinley appears 10 be
trying TO educate Illinois with a SEN
ate address which Includes the asser-
tion that The Anwrican Legion at
their convention In Omaha last oeto-
ber adopted resolution urging the
immediate adherence by the United
States To a permanent court Of inter
national justice"
The public is indebted to legion
member for the following correction
OF the impression which the Senator
tries to create that 'Ehe Legion Is for
the Leagues world court.
"At the Omaha convention the
Leagues enthusiasts introduced a
resolution for the Legion To favor The
immediate adherence by the United
States to The Permanent Court OF In
ternational Justice ubder the Harding
Hughes. Coolidge reseryations.
This resolution 0as not adopted.
However, the Legion as above indi-
Gated. favored the abstract principle
of peace through court of inteina'
tional justice.
.'Such resolution is far from en-
dorsing the Harding, Hughes, Coolidge
reservations or evr, endorsing the
Leagues court. PosAiby the Senator
was misied into thsserroneous belief
|tkat the Legion fas-ts the -feaguee:
world court, which has been objected
to by numerous Legion Posts, espe'
cially of disabled veterans"
Illinois never objected to the prin-
ciple of an international court OF JUS
tice, which is precisely what II wants
and intends To get some distant day
when the League and its court are
abandoned because both are against
the laws Of human nature.
Illinois intends to have the United
States voted out of the world court
of the League and hence 1t intends to
send To the Senate Colonel Frank l..
Smith to displaee Senator Mckinley,
who is influenced by propaganda that
is based upon narrow promises and
broad conclusions that do not appear
To be entertained by local Legion
men.
If there Is member of the Lake
County American Legion Posts who
has read the world court protocol and
is for the Leagues court, the Wau-
kegan Daily Sun has not heard of or
from him and would like TO.
The Suns surmise is that the Lake
County Legion boys are for Colonel
r. l.. Smith for the next u. 5. Sena-
tor from Illinois. -Waukegan Sun.
