the purpose of the march to the Ford
plant was to present certain demands
to the company Some of these demands
were as follows:
Jobs for all laid-off Ford workers;
immediate payment OF 80 per cent OF
full wages to all laid-off Ford en-
ployes: a six-hour day without reduc
ton in pay: slowing down Of the
"speed-up:" free medical aid in Ford
Hospital for employed and unemployed
Ford workers and their families; no
discrimination against Negroes, five
tons OF fuel for the Winter: abolition
OF private police; no foreclosures on
homes of former Ford workers. Ford

immediate payment of $50 Winter re-
lief: full wages fol part-time workers:
abolition OF the "gr aft system" In hiring
workers, and the light to organize.
II the only purpose Of the march to
the Ford plant was to present these
demands. why were they borne by q
mob of several thousand. many OF
whom were armed? To place them In
the hands of the responsible repre-
sentatives of the corporation required
no such numbers. Half dozen persons
could have effectively delivered them.
The character of the demands and
the manner of their presentation leave
no question Of the real purpose Of the
march. 1t was a seditious movement,
inspired by enemies Of the established
order and carried out TO a tragic con-
clusion. the responsibility for which
rests upon those who proposed and
urged it. The hope is that they will
be caught and punished.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

when they read about 1t began a search
Of the files. Sure enough, such a bull
letin had once been issued, but 1t was
13 years ago, under the administration
of Woodrow Wilson, when Democratic
administered Secretary Redfield had
been head of the department More
than that, it was disc ,vered that COL
lege professor at Cornell University had
been paid a special fee of Sl,748 for
the preparation of the manuscript Of
The Love Life of the Bull Frog"
why is Borah really great?" is a
question which has been asked before
and is now asked again in a circular
now passing through the mails in be-
half of the "Borah silver bill. 1t rings
true" In the present instance the
answer is given as follows: only God
who made him could do justice to that
question. We do know q few Of the
tiny attributes. He Is not tempted by
any office He sees the truth and states
it, where others unconsciously blind
themselves by party prejudice or per-
sonal interest. Since Lincoln, Borah
has the most sublime vision of any
American statesman. Borah Is the Ma
tion's moral giant" This is the first
that Washington has heard of the
Borah silver bill, and 1t may be noted
that in the rs years which have elapsed
since Borah came to the Senate much
has been heard of Bill" Borah. but
very seldom and very little of Borsh

Postmaster General Brown according
to some recent whispers. is looking for

taking over the Craftsmanship OF the

Senator Fess steps down after the Chi
cago convention. Mr.. Brown is said to
feel that he can manage the Hoover
campaign quite effectively from his
present cabinet post. BY not carrying
the title of national chairman he
escapes considerable grief. Be that as
1t may, former National Chairman VIII
liam M. Butler of Massachusetts, was in
Washington last week, visited the Sen
ate and conferred with Mr. Hoover and
departed for home, leaving behind

report that Mr.. Butler was slated to
be chairman of the National Commit
tee again during the coming campaign
was promptly revived. Other sur
misses placed him In the cabinet In
