SCIO. OREGON. 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

• « • * 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.

Henet- all the treasure eipendcd
in building great warships, impreg
nable coast dwfense* ami the keep
ing of the nation as a great armed
camp, is justly charges tee to them,
They r«fu«rd the only ->live branch
th* world has ever offered.
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.
So when the 1/xfges. the Brande-
g«e* the J»hn*>n* ami the Borahs
prate about disarmament they are
insincere
They do not mean what
they say.
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.

DISARMAMENT.
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.
