gress on the other hand has set
a wonderful example by flaunt-
ing the law when it appropri-
ates 100000 to a $4S,0O0,O00
budget, giving itself a $1,000, 900
saving at the expense Of the citi-
zens Of the District; said saving
based on a IS per cent basis In
stead of 40 per cent.
1t is also stated that the Fed
eral Government is holding 81
100000 of ear-marked money
from the collection Of gasoline
taxes which money cannot be
used in our general budget. How
long are they going to hold it
and will we ever get it?
TAKING IT ON CHIN
II we are short 100000 at
this time, why doesn't Congress
be reasonable and businesS-like
and direct the Treasury to turn
over to a general fund $3.00O.0OO
Of that $4.5oO.O00?
How long are the citizens 60
ing to take it on the chin?
I have heard for months that
q mass march would be made
on Congress, the citizens de-
manding what is Justly theirs
by law, but 1t appears someone
has gotten cold feet or else has
been bought over by the poll
ticians.
What outstanding citizen or
business group will sponsor this
march which should be orderly
and in keeping with the dignity
Of the city and its citizens?
It Is about time we think Of
ourselves and demand what Is
rightfully ours by law.

Keeping Out Of War

The pacifists give me goose

They seem to think that they
can keep Uncle Sam out Of war
by simply telling this cockeyed
world that war Is bad.

Woodrow Wilson's Place in
History

A interesting question which keeps coming up is:
"A What will history's final verdict Woodrow
Wilson be? Where will World War President rank
when time shall have given historians the proper per-
spective on him and the roaring years through which
he led the nation?
We think it be taken for granted that what Wilson
did about domestic affairs in his first term 191317 will
be little noted by historians. His second term the
term the part of his Presidential record which he
must stand or fall.
The 1916 Presidential campaign a vivid and
exciting affair." Wilson put up for reelection by the
Democrats. Charles Evans Hughes resigned as
Supreme Court Associate Justice to accept the Repub
nomination.
Wilson's hackers sold him to the voters chiefly on the
slogan "He kept out of war" Wilson was the ex-
ponent of the idea that peace at almost any price
preferable to war, though German submarines

raiding neutral commerce.
Hughes represented the idea of lot of Eastern sea.

Roosevelt that we ought to be 'frm" with Germany
What they meant was that ought to fight Germany
unless Germany would let citizens travel to and from
Allied countries any nations ships to sell war sup
plies to the Allies loan them money That was why
many of our people travelling to and from Eng
land in those times They weren't going to see the lovely
English scenery.
The common people by and large voted for Wilson,
because they didn't want to send their to war; be-
cause they wanted to stay home and sell So wheat The

Until He Was Reelected ror Ard thir+,, +h~ao
days after his 1917 Inauguration he took us into the war
Perhaps the pressure for war was so great that he
forced into it against his better judgment-though
we've long suspected him of having had wordsaver
bitions He had already twice sacrificed his peaceful
principles to miltarsm in the 1914 capture of Vera
Cruz and the 1916 chase after Villa into the interior of
Mexico.
Whatever Wilson's motives, he did get US into war
breathtangy after being reelected that slogan
about having kept out of war. We think historys
final judgment Wilson will be that he pulled his cou
try into which it had business fighting, and
out of which his country got nothing but lot of unco
lectible debts. Mr.. Wilson, expect, will rank far
below Abraham Lincoln, another war President, but one
who fought approved then and afterward by ma
tional opinion

Those ''Insane" Interludes

THOUGH Europe seems about to burst into flames
as evidenced by stock price fops and wheat price
upsurges feel moved to take time out to think about
the testimony of three alensts in Mrs Patricia Ryans
o >. trial on charge of numbering
O"W'ye Aeo'"'O"y her patrolman husband.
At the Ryan Trial One alienist said Mrs. RYAN
was sane when the gun went off, The other two said
she was insane at the moment, though sane a few
minutes before and within half-hour after.
We have no doubt that except in of codblooded
murder such as those committed to collect life insurance,
an emotional frenzy does overtake married person
who kills his or her spouse Mrs. Ryan may have been
legally insane when she killed her husband; we offer
no opinion her guilt innocence But if incorpo
rate in the general criminal law the principle that any
sane person can kill and get away with it by plead

March on Congress

A repetition of last year ap-
pears in store for the taxpayers
Of the District.
It is stated that Congress will
repeal the 60-40 subsidy plan.
While estimates Of Govern
ment taxable property run as
high as 80 1-3 per cent, let US,
for the sake Of argument, agree
It is 25 per cent. On top Of this
we have embassies and legations
not subject to tax.
Our city, due to its nature. is
known as Q retail city and not
. manufacturing city. Aside
from our Government employees,
our next largest employers are
the utilities companies. In cities
where large manufacturing pre-
dominates, 1t is those large In
dustries that provide the tax
and income to the city.
Our Federal Government is In
q measure similar to the large
manufacturers.

five federation affiliates: Inter-
national holders Union of North
America, Pattern Matters Associa-
ton of Cleveland and vicinity,
Metal POlishers International I'm
ion, International Association of
Machinists, and a federal local
union.
The Vacuum Cleaner company
contended its open aid to the
AFOL and it's refusal to employ
persons who did not join the fed
GRAFTON were justified by an oral
preferential employment contract
entered into by it and the five
AFOL unions in June. 1885, and
renewed in July, 1886. To this
the URLB answered:
1T is clear that a preferential
shop agreement would in no event
be valid basis for many Of the
acts of the respondent (the COM
pany). Furthermore, there is
no showing in the records that,
at the time the parties allegedly
entered into the oral (preferen-
tial shop agreement, employees
were Informed concerning it or
that the agreement was then put
into effect. Although the respond
ent claims later to have Informed
groups of employees concerning
the oral agreement the evidence
indicates that at no time were the
terms of any oral agreement
made clear to them "
The NLRB said that in March,
1887, the AFOL unions sought
and received company aid in
new organizing drive. 1t said
plant superintendent accompanied
organizers through the plant and
summoned groups of employees
who were told by AFOL officers
that failure to join the federation
would result in loss Of their jobs.
On March IS, 1887, a sit-down
strike started after machinlst
was discharged because he would
not ioin the AFOL. 1t was settled
the next day, when the company,
the CLIO union, and federation af-
filiates agreed upon reinstatement
of the machinist and "for free
choice of union affiliations by all
employees" the NLRB said.
Several weeks later, the COM
pany and the federation atfiliates
executed a closed shop agree
ment.
