POLITICS AND PERSONALITIES

Final cries of anguish are being emitted bv Old
Guard protectionists in the Senate as the tariff
bill nears completion. Their resignation to defeat
by the acknowledgements coalition was sud
IDENTIFY shattered when Senator LaFollette of Wis
consn proposed to slash the tariff rate on varnish
even below the 1922 duty. Senator Golf of West
Virginia leaped to his feet and launched vigor-
Gus protest against the policy of reducing rates
below the Fordney- McCumber schedules without
notice to the industries concerned. The consum-
ers, Senator Golf argued, are estopped from OPP
posing increases because they have not appeared
to oppose them nor have they raised any howl AS
sailing the argument indefensible, ''Young Bob"
declared Gofs position, exaltng rights of proper
ty over those of humanity bound, gagged and de-
llvered" the consumer. The conclusion then is
that Senator GOffs vote against the higher sugar
duty was based upon the consumers bowls against
being raided out of $65,OOO,OOO yearly to aid a
handful of beet sugar manufacturers who do not
need aid.
AS sample of the mental processes of high
tariff Senators, Senator Goffs attitude on the con-
sumers' rights is in strange contrast with the pur
pose of the Lobby Committee which has excoriated
the dissemination of information to consumers:
which information would enable them to do inst
what according to Senator Golf their failure to
do warrants the present increases. It looks as if
the consumer is damned if he does and damned if
he doesn't

A STUDY IN DEFINITIONS

There have been many discussions in our own
country concerning the relation between education
and religion, that the Russian method of combin
ing the two takes on interest. Not religious be-
hefs but religious history is taught in this strange
country about which wild things are told and few
things actually known. The Russian religious in
stitute teaches by pictures and "wan papers" the
story of all religions and their influence through
the ages. Their program includes the establish
ment of schools throughout the country to give
educational possibilities to about 100000 now
1lliterate people Through education, they hope to
Danish ignorance superstition and fear.
There is a deep-rooted belief in America that
the REDS" of Russia are bitterly opposed to rel-
gIon in any form. AS matter of fact. there is
greater religious freedom in Russia than there
was under the Czarist regime. On the Russian
Easter for instance, the government supplied the
extra milk required in the observance of that dav
evidently, then, attempt is made to abolish at
tendance at church.

MR.. HOOVER: WHERE IS YOUR
PROSPERITY?

American imperialism had been riding high for
several years. 1t is true that there were a few
million of workers out of employment but there
was no crisis. There were markets for American
commodities and even the unemployed could find
something to eat. The farmer was not so badly
off. He voted for Hoover like millions of indus
trial workers and expected that Herbert The Great
Engineer, would be able to continue the era of
prosperity left him by Coolidge Then something
happened.
Last November the stock market tumbled and
millions of little pettybourgeois patriots thruout
the land got cleaned. They were thoroly deloused.
And they howled like coyotes Their patriotism
began to vanish and their faith in the great magi-
clan Hoover began to diminish. Industry took a
poke in the belly and vomited out of its gates
hordes of workers: threw them on the streets and
on the slave market.
Experts" flocked to the standard of business to
prove that the collapse of the stock market was a
healthy sign and that industry would be the better
for the cleaning. The money that formerly went
into stock gambling would now go into legitimate
industry they claimed. Those paid optimists knew
they were lying, but lying is a fine art brought
to perfection by the capitalists.
Hoover who never got ratified when the farmers
We're bowling for relief, Immediately came to the
assistance of Big Biz. He had his secretary of the
treasury return them about s15O,OOO0OO in @ex-
cess taxation and he called the Big Berthas of
industry together to fool the public into the belief
tnat tremendous building projects would soon be
started. That was quite some time ago. What has
happened since then?
The situation has grown worse. Despite the
white lies circulated by secretary of labor Davis
there are at least 100000 unemployed in the
United States today, not counting the millions of

LOGAN COUNTY. A
FEUDAL BARONY.

1t was in 1920 that the $4,000
organized coal miners in West
Virginia began their strike to
make the remaining coal fields in
that state union territory. Senate
investigation after Senate investi-
cation, for half a score of years,
had shown that coal miners in
West Virginia had no civil rights
that coal company or a local Of
ficia would recognize, unless the
United Mine Workers local stood
guard. Logan county, then as
now, was a feudal stronghold into
which a union organizer ventured
at the risk of his life. Finally a
campaign was begun to organize
the miners in all the fields, and
even to carry the union message
to Logan. In 1922 occurred the
union crusade" which sent thous.
ands of miners, with members Of
their families, marching across
the hills toward anti-union mines

SUPPORTED BY
ORGANIZED CAPITAL

McClintic's impeachment was
sought, but he held his seat by
reason of the support given him
by organized capital in West Vir-
GINA and throughout the indus
trial East. The Mine Workers ap-
peared from his injunction. After
many delays, lasting until April
IS, 1927, Judge Parker, in the cir
cult court of appeals, rendered a
decision upholding McClintic. Par
ker quoted as the basis for his de-
cision the ruling made by the Su-
preme Court in the Hitchman Coal
Co. case-that the courts may for
bid union mems asking non-union
men to violate their yellow-dog
contracts of non-union employ
ment or even asking them tc
strike. Parker declared that
while it was perfectly legal fol
trade unionists to ask men to joir
unions and to strike, this right die
not include their asking signers o.
non-union contracts to do so. Since
the West Virginia coal companiei
were all forcing the signing o
yellow-dog contracts by all thei
workers, Judge Parker had sent
enced to death the coal miners un

eff the present efficiency COS
pei is carried out much further,
the industrial table will be so
cleared that there will not be even
crumb left for the western
sparrows," declared Hon. Sylvan
J. Pauly, state representative, who
delivered the principal address at
the weekly meeting of the Rotary
club held yesterday at Hotel Deer
Lodge. Mr.. Pauly chose as his
subject a discussion of the dam
gers of the present tendency to-
ward consolidation and centraliza-
ton Of power and authority in the
industrial world and in the federal
government. The program was in
charge of w. o. Ensign, and
George A. Carr led the singing of
Rotary songs, accompanied at the
piano by Miss Evelyn Kulos.
Mr.. Pauly, who held the rapt
attention of his listeners for more
than half an hour, told of the per-
lis of super-organization in bust
ness, declaring that if centarliza-
ton of power continues as at pres
emit, it will result in small, power
full groups, who will dictate poll
cies, prices, wages, etc., for their
entire industry. These groups will
be centralized in the east, said the
speaker, and the people of the
western states will have no voice
in business. The ultimate out
come of this system, he said, will
result in the division of the people
into three distinct classes-the
wealthy, powerful group, the un-
influential employee class, and the
comparatively small group of pro-
fessional men.
Guests at the Rotary club meet
mo Yesterday were A. w. John
son. head of the agricultural de-
nartment of the Powell county
HIGH school, and George Pendray,
