YES. IT'S A FINE OLD WORLD

Secretary Kellogg has sent forth
like a flock of homing pigeons, lot
of so-called peace treaties. They will
probably come back signed, but they
are indeed a weak substitute for the
"stop all war" sort of thing that was
heralded at the outset.
Nobody has yet been sent to prison
for Teapot Dome and nobody will be
sent there. Col. Stewart has not yet
surrendered to Mr.. Rockefeller
either.
The marines remain in Nicaragua
and it is reported that this is all right
because most of the Nicaraguans are
still alive.
Unemployment is somewhat reduc.
ed and nobody claims there are more
than four million men out of work.
Why, certainly, all's well with the
world.

POOLING THE PEOPLE

"Take the public utilities out OF
politics. was a popular cry several
years ago.
The utilities were then compelled
to go to state legislatures to secure
rate increases. Control of a majority
of the law-making branch was uncer-
tain, and corporations and their allies
painted resp pictures of non-partisan
utilities commissions setting a fair
price.
The people accepted the new plan
The commissions are usually appoint
ed by the governor.
This Capitalization of government
and bureau rule, is profitable to the
utilities, according to one of then
publicity men. He acknowledged te
| the federal trade commission that the
commissions "are the best friends OF
the industry"

WAGE CUT
No Remedy For Coal Mine Evils,
Says Wilson

SHERIDAN, Wyo. Striking coal
miners are the best friends of the coal
industry because they refuse to en-
gage in throat competition that
means bankruptcy for all concerned" !"
William B. Wilson told delegates to
the annual convention of the Wyo-
ming Federation of Labor.
The former Secretary of Labor and
secretary-treasurer of the United
Mine Workers explained the Jackson
Vile agreement and told of its history.
The Consolidated Coal Company in
the West Virginia field, Rockefeller
concern, and the Pittsburgh Coal Com
pany, Mellon interest, he said, were
parties to the agreement, but six
months later they closed their mines
and attempted to reopen with wage
rate 80 per cent below the Jackson
vile scale.
Evidence was produced; yes, even
brought out of the mouths of the op-
orators themselves, that men in the
Pittsburgh district who have howled
the loudest in denouncing the United
Mine Workers and their official staff,
and at the same time crying, Save the
union,' were financed by the Pitts
burgh Coal Company"
Mr.. Wilson discussed forces that are
operating against the miners. One of
these is the fact that 30 per cent of
all coal mined in the United States is
consumed by the railroads, and these
corporations constantly seek lower
fuel costs, while passenger and freight
rates are based on fixed coal costs.
'The railroads have tremendous
influence over shippers through their
control of the supply of cars. There
| is at least feeling among coal oper-
ators that if they do not comply with
the demand of railroads they will not
get enough cars for their commercial
trade"

with names containing the words lime,
lemon and orange, contained none Of
those fruits but were made up prin-
cipally to tartaric acid base to
which was added oil of lime, oil of
lemon and oil of orange derived from
the peel of those fruits. They were
artifcially colored with coal tar col
ors.
So you see when the thirsty Amer
lean proletarian with parched and
dusty gullet pulls his trusty fiivver
up to the country curb and orders
some cherry or strawberry or cape
drink, in all likelihood he is decorat-
ing his super-heated interior with coal
tar and tartaric acid.

POWER TRUSTS DREAM

Revelations of power trust efforts
to control educational institutions
continue, and in continuing they get
hotter and more astounding. In a
secret document, the latest evidence
produced before the federal trade
commission, scented and subpoenaed
by the commission, it is shown that
a conference of nineteen state pub
licity" and information" directors for
the electric power and gas companies
planned campaign intended to per-
manently control education from the
age of seven years onward.
The educational" work was calcu-
lated to positively control the teach
ing of all subjects relating to power
economics principally. 1t was in
tended to govern every school and
college text book, to control the
thought of legislators, writers and
public speakers.
The power gang laid out plan to
mould the thought of the nation Sc
that power trust domination would
be assured forever. How any body of
directors" could have been simple
enough to think they could perma-
nently "get away with" so bold an6
sweeping a plan is not explained, but
evidence is that they did think it
They believed they had the plan that
would bring permanent control.
The plan covered thirty states. The
campaign secured thousands of col
umns of free newspaper space, snar
ed dozens of teachers, professors ant
writer's, and doctored many tex
books.
1t is all in the open now. The peo
| pie know what was afoot. If, aftel
this they are duped by power trus
propaganda, it will only be because
it is easier to fool them than ever
the power trust thought it was. Blu
| the probability is that the power trus
dream has been permanently put ou
of business.

forcement League of Maryland, rec
commended that two days be set aside
for women to gather in their churches
and pray that the right kind of men
will be nominated and elected in No
vember
This will give good cheer to the
political gangsters as well as to the
bootleggers and bandits.
However, Mrs. Nicholson did not let
it go at that. She may believe in
the efficacy of prayer, but she shows
signs of advocating something the
slightest bit more tangible. She urg-
ed club women to abandon the fetish
of party fealty and vote for principle
That will alarm the gang leaders.
There has been fear in the hearts
of political gang leaders that the
| women of the entire nation woulC
wake up and take some definite, con
centrated action.
These men have held the hope tha
the women voters would continue t.
divide their voting power, distribut
ing it about equally, as in the past
between two political parties, thu
leaving the intriguers undisturbed
They would feel better if the womel
would simply take action by pray
ing and leaving the management o
affairs to the gangs.

Stewart first appeared before the
senate committee last February. He
said he knew nothing of the Conti-
mental deals. One month later, when
Harry F. Sinclair was acquitted of
conspiracy charges, Stewart told the
senate committee he received $759, 900
in Liberty bonds from the president of
the Continental Company.
1t was this contradictory evidence
that caused John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
to ask Stewart to resign from the In

Stewart ignored the request.
