!" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

If congress should pass quarter
of the bills now stewing in the brew
pot of legislation, everybody'd be
saying that. For a fine mess of bills
is on the fire.
Mark this down: SOMETHING is
coming out, cooked-and probably it
will be hot.
Watch that O'Mahoney bill-and
don't pronounce that mans name with
the accent in the middle of the "ho.'
That's where it isn't It's on the "Ma,"
pronounced pretty much as in map
Big business guessed right last
fall, but there were too many on the
winning side, and it's no good to guess
right if you haven't any money on
the horse that romps home with the
bacon, or whatever it is that's being
ridden home with.
Therell be legislation to regulate
and with teeth
What big teeth you have, grand
ma
eyes. my child, the better to bite
the hide of you with"
And may be that's why big business
is so confounded sore and touchy and
SO seemingly determined to put up the
block signals for the whole train of
progress.
Well, we shall see, as has been
said many times before, what we
shall see.
And probably we won't need
glasses.
But turning from that to other
things, what does anybody sup
pose corporations We're thinking
of when they paid so much money
to agencies
The American employer can be
wise as sin in selling and he can be
clever as anything in manufacture
ing, but he can be the stupidist, Gus
sedest darned fool in human rela-
tions. He can be the worlds prize sap.
We have the evidence.
1t never seemed to occur to the
employers who hired these prize gyp
artists that a crook is a crook and
that a crook who is enough of crook
to sell out his fellow workers would
also be crook enough to sell out his
grandmother and his grandmother's
little granson.
John Lewis called the Flint alliance
a love child, which was sweet of him.
The labor spy is no love child, but
neither is he entitled to any legiti-
mate appellation, or any suspicion of
honorable antecedents.
Millions of dollars in good sound
money have been spilled into the pock-
cts of the tribe that has hired and
herded these provokers and thugs who
are best known because they are so
given to meeting themselves on the
street, because of not being accus-
toned in going straight in anything.
If Senator La Toilette should quit
right now and never do another thing
he would have done enough for one
man in putting the bee on these birds
of foul buzzards of the fac
tories
And so, here we go again, boys;
hold your hats.
Congress made law that to ship
these thugs in interstate traffic is
unlawful. Unlike the Schecter chick
ems, these birds don't come to rest
and cease to be interstate commerce
after they cross the line. They just
don't come to rest. Some of them have
to keep on the jump because they're
afraid Of the keeper and some of them
don't rest because they're afraid of
dreaming an honest dream if they
don't keep on the hop.
But the buzzards who hire the
buzzards have found out that they
can do all their hiring within
state and thus beat congress. It's
now up to the states to clean
their own houses, or whatever it
is they call the places where such
filth accumulates.
Maybe this is a diatribe. But the
thought of the vermin under consid-
GRAFTON deserves a word that sounds
like that at the start, but ends much
less pleasantly.
Help yourself to the mustard, but
please, only use it on good meat
