THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL
la the only newspaper in Salem whose circulation is guaranteed by the
Audit Bureau Of Circulations
LABOR AND LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Labor, when tho League of Nations covenant is adopt
ed, must play a much more sane and effective hand in the
government of the nations of the world if it is to reap a
full harvest of the benefits which the league promises to
bring to the workers. In the draft of the section of the
League covenant on the subject of international labor leg
lislation, which has just 'been reported to the peace dele
gates, are two clauses relating to the makeup of the labor
ortramzation of the League. Ihcy provide that the per
manent labor organization shall consist of a "general
labor conference and an international labor office." The
division of the personnel of both bodies, in which are
vested the power of setting all labor disputes, is sq dis
tributed as to retain in the hands of the government dele
pates a constant balance of power over the voting power
of the delegates of either capital, or labor.
Under the provisions of the proposed section the gen
eral labor conference is to be composed of four represen
tatives of each country, two of which shall be government
delegates, one representing active labor and one the em
plovers." On the international labor board are to be
twelve government representatives, while labor and cap
ital, are each to have six representatives'.
! Thus is the buffer between labor and capital the
covernmcnt delegates to be constituted larger than
cither of the factions to be involved in industrial disputes.
Yet it is inconceivable that these "middle men", though
they be government delegates, will not be controlled by
the desires of their constituents and lean one way. or the
other. Labor, then, must make itself a constituency to be
felt and reckoned with by the individual nations in the
selection of the government delegates, if it is to carry out
its plans for an international industrial readjustment
through the League of Nations.
Those highly-paid newspaper correspondents report
a big row among the peace conference delegates one day
in order to deny it the next day. It is highly creditable
on their pari because it shows they are trying to earn
their money.
Don't be surprised if some of your absent friends

remarked: 'Herr Erzberger: I have the Bavarian docu
ments in my possession, and in them are some interesting
details about you.' Then he put down his head, grew red,
and remained silent."
"Can we expect such men to enjoy the entente's con-
tidence l It is a mistake and a blunder to send such peo
pie to the enemy's camp."
Eisner, the stern truth-teller, was shot 'down bv an
assassin within a few days of this utterance. Erzberger
receives even more honors and responsibilities at the
hands of the present German government.
But what was true in the early days of peace nego
tiation is still true. How can the Allies have confidence
in Erzberger? If Germany wants justice, and particular
ly if she wants clemency, she must send honest men to
speak for her.
The miscellaneous charges preferred ' against Col.
May by a lot of mothers in Portland, fall flat in face of
his reply giving the corroboratable facts. Corvallis Gazette-Times.
We don't know much about the case of Colonel May
but his complete vindication by a paper like the Gazette
Times is to be expectedv He is a partisan of the same
stripe as the Corvallis newspaper and has just received the
high political appointment of adjutant general. Of coursi.
the charges against him are false ! However, any charge
made by anybody, no matter how irresponsible, against
Secretary Raker, or anyone else connected with the na
tional administration, are always regarded by the Gazette
Times and papers of its staunch partisan tendencies as
fully substantiated the moment they are made. A man
high in the councils of its own party could do no wrong
in the estimation of the Gazette-Times, and all members
of any other party are rascals, measured by the same
standard.
From present indications, Uncle Sam will not have
much difficulty in getting volunteers for his new army.

RIPPLING RHYMES

KEEPING TAB.
The boss is keeping tab, my son, he marks your every
curve; and if you do not earn your mon, you'll get what
you deserve; if you are only sprightly when your weekly
wage you grab, you'll shortly join the jobless men the
lioss is keeping tab. Perhaps you fool around at night,
and paint the village red, when you'd be wiser sleeping
tight in your nice truckle bed; then you are dead upon
your feet when you to duty go; you make a snail Jook
pretty fleet, your movements are so slow; your eyes look
like a total loss, ycu have a taste that's drab; you cannot
put such things across the boss is keeping tab. Perhaps
your thoughts have roamed afar from work you ought
to do; you're thinking of some movie star who made a
hit with you; or of a joy ride you will take when this sad
day is done; or of a shady way to make a little bunch of
mon; or of a large planked tenderloin that you at night
will stab; 'twere bitter far to earn your coin the boss is
keeping tab. And then, perhaps, on t' other hand, you're
working like a jo; you're hustling round to beat the band,
to make the business grow. And there is vigor in your
walk, your movements are not dead; you do not pause to
watch the cl ck, and count the hours ahead. Success for
you is looming plain; some big prize you will nab; the
worker does not work in vain the boss is keeping tab.
