Has Curious Angles

The curious part of this fight is that
1t is a growth from the Philippine In
dependence movement. Several years
ago, when most people thought the
Idea of Philippine independence had
died with William Jennings Bryan,
there was effected an alliance between
various American interests, which
wore suffering from Philippine COM
petition. Chief among these was SUI
gar, then affecting Is states where
beets were raised and two states
Florida and LouIsiana-where cane
was raised.
The bitter fight between Americans
who had big interests In Cuba and the
domestic and Hawaiian sugar inter-
ests was turned into truce while both
fought vigorously to do something
about the Philippines. which In 1920
sent half a million tons OF sugar into
the United States, and this year sent
a million tons.
The sugar interests were Joined By
the dairy interests OF the Northwest,
anxious to eliminate the cheap Phil
Ippine oil which was making oleo a
sharp competitor OF butter 1t Is these
interests which are responsible, more
than all other elements and consider
ations put together, for the fact that
In the last Is months two bills for
Philippine independence have been
passed, the latter one apparently sat
isfactory to the Filipinos, who reject
ed the first.
But the interests are not willing to
walt the period OF years before the
tariff wall lis erected against the Phil
lppines by their independence. Hence,
the excise tax on cocoanut oil In the
present bill.
Strong for every phase of this tax
apparently are only the renderers of
fats and oils. These products are not
edible. The dairy and creamery Inter-
ests would be perfectly satisfied IL the
tax were applied only to nonedible
oils. But the commercial interests
cited do not want the tax at ALL They
think 1t would be terribly unfair bur-
den on fairly large American indus
try.
1t was this pressure that succeeded
In reducing the tax from five to three
cents In the senate committee. 1t

duction, despite the clamor OF the do

Industrial purposes had been slipping
for years. IL has been slipping ever
since. More and more Industries are
run by electricity generated from wa
ter power. More and more hotels, fac
tories. apartment houses, office build
ings, clubs. and all types of large
structures where soft and not hard
coal had been used, began turning TO
oil. In fact, most of the new struc-
lures put up In the last ten years have
oil and not coal-burnlng furnaces for
their heating plants. Meanwhile, and

time when she thought he believed her,

with the hopeless conviction that she

down the dimly lighted platform, striv-

her steps were as slow as the dragging

side before she would agree to drive
to Martins Cove The only change this
required In Rylle's original plan was q
later meeting at Westport 1t was
agreed that Calls should meet him
there at nine o'clock.
Rylie lost no time In putting his
part of the plan into execution. With
the detectives taxicab following, he
headed by the shortest route, for the
country. He felt confident of success.
He halted at gas station and filled his
tank. The taxicab stopped at the drug
store across the street. He already
knew what he would do. An open
road. with the accelerator pressed to
the floor Wind singing In his ears,
and the taxicab dropped farther and
farther behind. until 1t was lost from
view. Then side-road, and a-second
one, twisting and curving until there
was no possibility Of finding his trail.
Calls had several hours until she
was to meet Rylie at Westport. She
telephoned Flo and packed her bag
herself, striving all the while to keep
her thoughts away from Rylle. She
couldn't. What II something went
wrong7 What II the very fact that he
had given their detective the slip IN
tensified the suspicious that were al
ready directed at him? Now that he
was gone, the plan seemed very foolish
TO her and she regretted the decision
she had made. But 1t was too late
now. Rylle was already gone. There
would be no way to get In touch with
him until she reached Westport. She
was tempted to phone Flo again and
tell her they had changed their plans.
IF they returned home this evening
perhaps nothing would be thought of
the incident of the afternoon.
She was still undecided when she
reached Cardigan's apartment. If he
would only help. surely there was
some way to prove Webs innocence.

Pleases Labor Leaders

Prediction that every labor dispute
which develops from now on will be
laid right on the Presidents doorstep
was freely made as the conditions of
the settlement OF the automobile labor
dispute were studied here by all three
types OF observers--those In sympathy
with or connected with the manufac-
turers, those In sympathy with or con-
nected with labor, and those whose
only interest Is In determining where
the public comes out and where events
are leading. n,
Generally hailed at first as defeat
for labor, there is not so much sure
ness about this with subsequent study.
One point that distresses the old
rugged individualists" Is that 1t puts
the government In as the deciding fac
tor In every dispute. AS the labor
representative and the representative
of the employers may always be GER
obvious that each decision will be
made after the umpire speaks. And
the umpire will be the man put there
by the government.
This sort Of thing Is highly satisfac-
tory to the labor leaders. 1t Is COM
plete labor victory. In a way. What
made 1t look different at first Is that
1t was quite setback for the imme-
diate aspirations of the present group
of American Federation of Labor OFF,
cials. They did not win the power,
and the dues, they had hoped for when
their big gesture for a strike was
planned.
not very hopeful of winning everything
In one skirmlsh. They wanted to gain
ground. They have done 1t. Under
the present set-up the strong probable
lily is that the nationwide union will
gain ground and the shop union will
lose ground. Ii this does not happen,
the labor leaders will keep up con-
tinual barrage against the employers,
charging them every whipstitch with
blocking the unionization of the work.
ers In the union they prefer.
Anyone who thinks the ultimate In
tention of the federation to obtain
power over the automobile workers
has been smashed for all time simply
does not know union labor methods.
The fight has only begun.
But the immediate problem is tough
for the manufacturers In that they are
now, so to speak. In politics up to their
necks. 1t will be necessary for them
to put every ounce Of pressure they
can on the government to have gov
ernmental sympathy for their own de-
sires In the various disputes which will
arise and which will be settled under
the Presidents settlement by this
board of three.
That 10 where the labor leaders
have really scored.
