special hell below all other hells, re-
served for those who maintain neutrality
between right and wrong. If it is the
choice of our people to remain neutral,
we'll and good, but it is not thing about
which any one can be proud. A prom
inent candidate for the Republican NOM
ination is not doing either himself or
his party any good by proclaiming that
the Republican party is the peace party.
1t sounds too much like peace at any
price AS consistent Republican voter
resent that sort of label being fastened
upon the party. The Republican party
was not the party of peace In 1861. 1t
was not the party of peace in 1898, when
Weyler was starving the Cubans in con-
centration camps. The attitude of Theo-
dore Roosevelt in 1917 was typical of the
attitude Of the Republicans toward the
prosecution of the World War.
If the present conflict boils itself down
to the question of the survival or the
obstruction of human liberty upon the
earth, and the Republican party, if in
power. approves continuation of neu-
trality, then it will only be because the

Labor Indictment

Eventual acceptance by the courts
of the principles laid down by Dis
trict Court Justice Gordon in sustain
ing the antitrust indictment against
the Teamsters' Union local and five
of its officials here would give the
public a desirable measure of protec-
tion against abuses which the Gov
ernment is striving to eliminate in
the building industry.
Dealing for the first time with a
case in which alleged distractions to
industry bred by union rivalry were
at issue, Justice Gordon held that
the effort of the teamsters to compel
employment of their own men on
jobs for which members of the
operating engineers had contracts
did not constitute Legitimate" OBJ
Jective OF labor. And, he added,
even if the objective had been legiti-
mate, the alleged threats and force
used to accomplish it amounted to
restraints on building operations
that fall within the prohibitions of
the antitrust laws.
The opinion was rendered in over
ruling a demurrer by the American
Federation of Labor to the indict-
ment. The demurrer contended that
labor unions are exempt from prose-
cution under the provisions of the
Clayton Act. 'Disposing of this argu-
ment, Justice Gordon said that "the
Clayton Act does not give, and was
not intended to give to labor organ
izations a blanket exemption from
the operation of the antitrust laws"
but safeguards only the basic aims
for which unions were formed pro-
vided lawful means are employed to
secure them.
The court did not attempt to pass
on the legality of the recurrent
strikes which preceded the indict-
ment, and on which one count of
the indictment was based, confining
the ruling entirely to those Clearly
unlawful" acts by which the de-
PENDANTS were said TO have prevented
deliveries of building material to
both public and private projects here.
The case now moves to the trial
stage, opening the way for an ulti-
mate determination of the limits
within which organized labor prop
erly may operate.

Member of the Associated Press
Premier Kings Victory

The sweeping Liberal victory in
Canada's election yesterday-which
apparently will surpass the huge
majority by which the party won in
1935-has given an impressive DEM
onstration of Canadian unity behind
Premier Mackenzie Kings conduct of
the war, and is surprise to the
Liberals as we'll as their united
opponents.
In spite of a lackadaisical cam
paign, charges that war contracts
have been awarded on a political
patronage basis, censure of the man
rer in which Canada's war effort has
been exerted and the opposition's
powerful argument for coalition
government like that which was
formed during the last war, Premier
Mackenzie King has scored a triumph
for himself as we'll as for his party.
Canada now has good chance to
carry forward her war policies,
spared the distraction of another
election for the next five years.
Premier Mitchell Hepburn of On
tario finds little solace in the election
returns. It was his attack upon the
Mackenzie King government, backed
by vote of censure in the Ontario
Legislature, which last January i'm
PEELED the Dominions Premier to
dissolve Parliament and appeal to
the country.
MIR. Hepburn's opposition to Mr.
Mackenzie King sprang largely from
personal animosity, which the elec-
ton shows has stirred little sympathy
In the Dominion as a whole or in
Ontario itself.
Even in his own province of On
tario Mr.. Hepburn failed to under
mine Mr.. Mackenzie Kings position,
and the opposition failed to increase
the twenty-five seats it holds In
Quebec the landslide of 1885 was
surpassed, with the Liberals captur-
ing sixty-one seats and candidates
favorable to them winning the other
three, shutting out the opposition
entirely.
The vote in Quebec reflects, first of
all, French h-Canadian fears of con-
scription, which they oppose in this
war as resolutely as they did in the
last, when it was imposed upon them
by the coalition government of Sir
Robert Borden. Although the Con-
servative party has not indorsed
CONSUMPTION, its leader, DR.. R. J.
Manion, has come out in favor of it,
and the Liberals made much political
capital of this as we'll as the state
ment by Sam Gobeil, member of
the last Conservative ministry, that
conscription probably would be in
evitable before the war is over.
Although the principle of coalition
government for war purposes has
found acceptance in greater or less
degree in other British dominions
and in France, Canada has specifi-
cally rejected such an expedient and
has chosen to depend for prosecution
Of the war on strictly party govern
ment. Whether the Dominion's war
effort will be strengthened or weak
ened thereby only the future can tell

Birth of an Industry

In uncovering the tomb of the
Pharaoh Sheshonq at Tanis, Egypt,
archaeologists made a discovery of
the utmost historic Importance. They
came across hieroglyphic records
which proved without doubt that old
man Sheshonq was the great-great-
granddaddy of the automobile indus
try. When translated, the pothooks
showed that not only was he the
head of the horse-an chariot busi-
ness in Egypt some three thousand
years ago, but had on his pay roll as
a dealer no less a parsonage than
King Solomon.
According to the records, the most
popular model was the two-horse-
power twin-motored Pharaoh Spe-
cial, selling for about three hundred
and fifty dollars for the chassis and
ninety dollars for each motor, fob.
Cairo. This was the price for a
standard job; but for little more
military customers could obtain ac-
cessories such as detachable scythes
which could be fastened to the
axles for moving down pedestrians
amongst the enemy. All types were
sent c. O. D. to Megiddo, later Ar
mageddon, where Dealer Solomon
maintained a service station and q
corps of high-pressure salesmen to
expound to the public the merits of
the product and tell how many miles
could be expected to the gallon of
oats. The hieroglyphics say that
Solomon waxed rich. Automobile
dealers Of America, in commenting
on this latter phenomenon, some
what bitterly attribute it almost en-
tirely to the fact that Solomon was
never obliged to take in trade worn

Air Sufety

Proper cause for celebration is the
completion by the domestic airlines
of the United States of a 366-day
year of operations without killing or
seriously injuring any passenger,
crew member or any other person, on
the ground or in the air..
Such record is especially encour-
aging in view of the fact that it was
accomplished during twelve months
of unprecedented expansion of air
traffic. during which new records
for volume of business were made.
In achieving this safety record, the
Nations airliners flew 87,325, las
revenue plane plane miles and car
ried 2,O30,0OO passengers for total
of 814,906,2 $50 passenger miles.
These figures are difficult for the
1ayman to comprehend. The actual
mileage flown is equal to that flown
by the airlines of all the rest of the
world put together during the same
period. It is equivalent to flying
around the world at the Equator ten
times each day throughout the year,
or $500 times. If one passenger had
done all the flying which the years
passengers have done in entire
safety. he would have to fly from Los
Angeles to New York every day for,
e44 years.
All three airlines operating out of
the National Capital have played
proud parts in making possible this
achievement. Each of them has won
safety awards from the National
Safety Council. One of them, Penn
sylvania Central Airlines, has COM
pleted twelve years Of operation
without fatality.
This record caanot be attributed
to any one man of group of men. It
u the result Of splendid cooperation
