JAN. 13. i‘J2t THE WORM TURNETH The trouble with labor, eapuciaily union labor, is that it has bran end- died loo much both by state and national governments. Officials in their campaign prior to election have toadied too much to the labor vote in the way of giv ing promise«, ami dare nut go back on these promises for fear of r«,> risals at future elections. Al the same time labor has held fast to all it could get and grabbed for more It is a case of balance of power which could be wielded at the will of the labor leaders. Now the official* and labor lead ers have liecome awakened to the fact that the labor clement is but a small minority of the American people and labor's activities before congress and state legislatures have had a tendency to combine the other elements of society against them. They have suddenly found out that other people than those claimed as laborers have rights which must be respected. Farmers who labor quite a* hard as any union laborer, are beginning to roar, and for a wonder are effecting unions under on«' or other names, are getting to gether for political purposes. They are making their efforts felt. The office seeker has i»een quick to neo the worm's turning and which is the largest crowd, Now the necessity of controlling laimr's greediness has been seen by Congress. tabor is alarmed. Ils leader* have suddenly realiz«rd that labor is not all powerful. It is ap palled at the danger of correcting '•g.slation going too far. It has not realised until now that the organ ised strike is but mob action. The strike, boycott, etc., is a game which can l»e employed by employers and farmers as well as «hemaelvcs. and they nave the same right* lal>or unions have. The fact that labor unions have airogated to themselves particular rights which other memtwni of society do not poescwi, is a grievous mistake. They and the people in general are finding it out. Society in general is not disposed to war on labor. Society is willing to give labor all the rein it can until the limit is reached. That limit has now been reached When labor aaya "you pay my price or I will not work," it creates a determination to do with les* labor or none at all. The laborer is the flrat to suffer. tabor unions have no right to practically aay to the farmer: ‘‘One of our H-hour day * labor is worth three or four of your 14-hour day's labor." Justice nor reason will stand for this. There must and should be a sort of reciprocity as between these elements. Supp-iee farmers organise an»! say t ’ <> ■*V> • « • * f . < "Our wheal, beef, pork, etc., is worth so much; you pay us our prise or you don't get it." Who would kick quicker than these same labor unioos? Yet the farmer has but borrowed a leaf from the book labor has been compiling for many years The fact is all member* of society including labor unions, farmers, merchants. Comminsion men, etc., are dependent on each other. Greed or unfairness on the part of one memtar mean* that another mwn- Iter must suffer or go without And many things people cannot go with out. They arc necessities. tabor union* must liecome broad enough to consider the other fellow ha* rights which must not ta tram pled U|x»n too heavily when pushing the interest* of himself and that of his fellows to the fore. He rnuat learn that legislative favor* when received al or by the aacritice of the rights of others, is necessarily short lived. Il makes an enemy of he who is injured while a sensible policy would retain him as a friend. So if union labor in th« rebound ■ in legislative favors feels that It is suffering injury and is not receiving the considerition by law making - bodies, union labor in its aggreesive Midtqhncse in the past i* to blame for it. S uch ty Is made up of many and diverse interest* all of which must be considered by law making Lodiee. tach of these elements are ami should be equal liefnre the law and chief of which is the grest body of consumer* which necessarily has to pay the piper. When this fact is duly considered by organised late»r then it will be accorded proper eon sideration by our law makers.

No matter If they did not like Wilson and did not want him to have the glory of te-ing instrumental in bringing about permanent world peace, it was their duly as patriots and lovers of humanity to embrace the opportunity offered.

Just what President-elect Hard ing’s position on world disarmament i* remain* yet to be developed. H-* talk of an association of nations will not probably get any where. The other nations of the world will have just reason to doubt the sinceritv of any proposition on that subject he may make, seeing that the league has iwfen made a sort of political football by these anti league senators. So all talk of International disar mament ia mere twaddle so far as this nation is concerned. We are in keep on building great warships, great guns and perfecting poison gas. etc., just to mckc other nations afraid to make war upon us. . a f, •*</ • ♦ • »«¿ • ’ «, w r' < * j - A ..*► . • Ihti ii iHtu tTi i -jr » . - CT**«,» ÌXw.,;;.

SHOW NAMED FOR A VALLEY When senators who killed th« league of nations talk about inter national disarmament we have a just r ght to doubt their sincerity. One of the chief reasons for the league was to enable nation* to dis arm; to disband their huge armies; to quit impoverishing nation* by building warship after warship, etc. And it la only by forming some sort of a league that nations can or will diaarm. All nations in a certain way are cowards. That is to say such na tions as are ever ready to pounce upon another ami unprepared na tion. They force each other to keep the traditional chip on the shoulder Three-fourth* of the revenue of each nation is devoted to being ever ready for war. Germany would never have com menced the great war If sh«> had not imagined she could subdue France and then pounce up«n Fing I and lie- fore they could construct a great war machine in defense. So long as this feeling prevails among great nation* disarmament is Impossible. Un.il the word of a nation can ta regarded as absolutely reliable readiness for war will oi • tain. The league of nations a* formu lated at Paris may not have been perfect in all its provisions but it did provide for a great world war machine which would compel even the strongest of nations to live up to its pledged word So senators who refuse»! to per mit the United State* to become a member of the league ami thus help to make disarmament possible. are mit sincere when they talk of dis arming. They are first class bunco artists. They are for war. No other interpretation of their actions ia the past can be entertained.
