WORKMEN SEEING THE LIGHT
. . (American Economist) .
We have never been able to see how any workingman
could be a free trader or be affiliated with any but the party
of protection. The difference between the conditions of work
ingmen in protectionist countries and those which adhere to
free trade is so pronounced, that, in itself, it affords an un
answerable argument in favor of a protective tariff. Espe
cially is this true in the United States, which is the only
country which has afforded adequate protection to labor and
industry. We have always wondered why the labor unions
did not adopt protection as one of their main policies, but
heretofore they. have, not done so except in rare instances.
On the contrary, we have seen workingmii, who owe their
jobs and their high wages to the protective tariff system of
this country, march in droves to the polls and vote for free
. trade candidates. . , t v s
At last, however, they appear to be awakening to the sit
uation and ta their responsibilities. The New York State
Federation of Labor, theCentral Trade and Labor Council
and the New York Allied Printing Trades Council have united
in a memorial addressed to President Harding, urging ade
quate tariff protection based upon American valuation. The
claim is made that unfair foreign competition has driven the
workingmen to idleness, denying them the opportunity to
earn a living. Speaking of American valuation of imports,
these labor organizations;, v
. "Demand that. Congress place duties on the value
of imported merchandise or the value of the goods in ,
America. v Here is where they are sold and here is
I where their values are known. The American work-
? ers are interested first in the prosperity of America.
; ". When America is prosperous, it is then time to extend
raid to others who may deserve it."
; No fake internationalism there, but, instead, the spirit of
u America, first." It is not the doctrine of selfishness, but
;that of self-preservation the highest law of nature. It is
the same doctrine enunciated in the Bible, in the words: "Hut
t if any provide hot for his own, and specially for those of his
own house, he . . . . is worse than an infidel." The Divine"
law Is that a man shall care first for himself and his family,
and a. nation is simply one great family. It is our duty as a
nation to protect our. own labor and industry, thus placing us
in a position to not only care for ourselves, but to give our
abundance to others. . '. - . . - ,
. We are firlad. to' ee'these, labor unions assume. the Tight
stand on the question of tariff protection, and we trust that
i other unions "may quickly .fall into line. ? It is possibly too
much to hope that that out-arid-out free trader, Samuel Gom
? pers, will heed the plea sf the unions and urge upon Congress
the speedy adoption of an adequate protective tariff based
i upon American valuationsr but his successor may be able to
see the light and may bring all of the labor unions of the
- country into the protective tariff fold. ;T J ' i '

Editor Statesman:
While I was reading newspa
pers in the public norary yester
day evening, I happened to read
your comments about the Phil
question in which you have stated
that the politicians are the only
one clamoring for the Independ
ence of the Philippines and not
the people in general and that the
Phil. also, are .far from having a
stable government, basing your
statements from ths article of
Mr9- Eleanor Egan which appear
ed In the. Saturday Evening Post.
i weekly magazine. Being a
Filipino, and of course every
Filipinos are interested in this
question permit me then to give
my views in regard to the two
comments as slated above. 1
will just simply tell the real facts
- not more, not less.
The Philippines has a popula
tion of more than 10,500,000, and
of those, about 600,000 are non
Christiana or noncivillzed, includ
!ng the Mpros, while all the rest
are Christians or civilized. All
the Christian Filipinos desire in
dependence, except some of the
non-Christians and American bus
iness men in the Philippines. It
cannot be denied that when ex-
governor ' Forbes and Genera t
Wood investigated the Phil, they
found out that every, Filipinos, in
every, town they visited, were for
the independence with the excep
tion of what I have said before.
some of the non-Christians; but
General Wood only said that the
Phil, at present need some guid
a nee more until the gov't. Is be
ing fully stable.
As to the stability of our gov
ernment I think I need not men
tion hers anymore as probably
you have read , already in many
newspapers, the recommendation
of ex-Gov. Harrison who had been
in the Islands for eight year?
We have now a stable gov't as re
quired by Jones Law.
The losses of the Phil. National
uank is the criticism upon our
gov't. I always read in the news
papers here. We admitted tha
the Phil National Bank has suf
fered due to the general business I
Mrs. Lgan also scolded the
president of the Phil, senate, Mr.
Manuel L. Quezon, saying that he
is an ambitious despotic politician,
absolute ruler, etc. It is true,
Mr. Quezon is a politician, but
he is an honest politician. He
is voicing the desire of h's peo
ple. Ha was elected senator by
the people and elected to the pres
idency of the senate by the sena
tors who were also elected by the
people and therefor it is his duty
to obey the will of the people who
elected him. The article of Mrs
Egan in the Saturday Evening
Post is unfounded. I know that
there are some Americans who
expressed their opinion as being
aga'.nst Phil Independence when
in reality they do not know the
conditions existing in that coun
try. It all the people of the U.
can only see the Phil, with their
own eyes, I have no doubt to say
that they will approve our desire.
Independence.
But unfortunately some of the
Americans who have been in the
Phil, especially the business men
who want the retention of the
Phil, just for exploitation and
commerce, misinformed the peo
ple here by saying that we are
not fit to have a self gov't. In
the editorial of the "Seattle Star,"
a daily newspaper in Seattle dated
January 5, 1921, partly quoted;
as.
"There is no mistaking
that Filipinos want their in
dependence. What's more,
our little brown cousins want
it' right away, quick! And it
U Just possible that they in
th3 Islands, better than wo
Americans over here, are the
best judges whether they are
fitted for independence."
Mr
Ing we ought to give it to
them without delay."
Before clos'ng this I would like
to let you know that I am net
a paid propagandist of Phil. In
dependence from the treasury of
th Phil gov't, as your remark
to Mr. Rodriguez. I am a com
mon Filipino giving my own con
viction. At present I am study
ing in Willamette University pay
ing ray matriculation and expen
ses here though working. I am
not pension by auy government.
I hope that you will publish
this letter and I extend to you my
sincerest thanks for any atten
tion that will be given by you in
this letter. Yours very truly,
Sofio Zarsadias.
P. O. Box 231, Salem, Dec. 22.
1921.
(The Statesman is pleased to
print the above. The Filipinos
outside of the politicians who are
in favor or the absolute independ
ence of the Philippines are to be
compared with the child crying
for the moon. They think they
want absolute independence, but
if they should be granted what
they th'nk they want it would be
a most unfortunate thing fo
them. They have shown their ntt?r in
capacity for self government, for
they had what amounted to self
government under the Harrison
administration; the Democratic
administration, for eight years
and they brought their affairs to
the verge of anarchy or Bolshevism.
The Filipinos need what Gover
nor General Leonard Wood will
give them, if congress will grant
him a free hand, and that is a
stable government under vigor-,
ous and intelligent American di
rection. Even with this. General
Wood will have the time of his
lfe straightening out the tangles
the Quezon bunch have made in
the affairs of that country, and
in getting back to the efficiency
that was the rule before Harri
son was sent there by President
Wilson. What a British rti tea
man called the "most efficient
and the best colonial government
in the world" was almost Wrecked
by the Filipino politicians under
Harrison, who had everything
that was stable before headed
straight towards chaos, until the
irrival of General Wood.

Mobs of women relatives of followers of Alexander Howat were responsible for greater part of riot
ing that took place in the coal fields around Pittsburgh, Kan. The State troops were called out for the
second time in two years when the women sympathizers attacked the workers while on their way to the
mines. The upper picture shows the striking miners and women sympathizers at one of the mines. All
efforts of the county authorities to check the onslaught of the advancing women were without avail until
the State troops took a hand. The lower picture shows members of the "Amazon" army, with babies
pressed to their breasts, trading wearUy alonj the disty road to keep pace with the advancing hosts as the
rioters raided the mines in operation.
