SHUTDOWNS ARE POLITICAL PLOT OPERATION TO SCARE WORKERS, SAYS GOMPERS Suspension of Production WidespreadBarnes Blames Loss of Foreign TradeColver Says Coal Cars are used Like Poker Chips Naval Despotism in Our New TerritoriesDemocratic Treasurer Fights Union Labor at HomePennsylvania Railroad, after Brag- ging About Dismissing "Unnecessary" Labor, Declares Embargo on Freight. Washington, D. C.President Gom pers of the American Federation of Labor warns the country that the shutdown in large industries all over the country are a part of the polit ical plot. "The purpose," says Mr. Gompers, "is obviously to frighten the laboring men and women You will continue to see evidence of it from now until election." Perhaps it would be nearer correct to say that it happens that two big business motives are served by these shutdowns in iron and steel manufac ture, automobile manufacture, woolen manufacture, etc While they may be of considerable value as a club over labor, which suddenly finds it self without a bread ticket for the family, they also enable the trusts to maintain their outrageous price* by shutting off normal supply. This suspension of work, which if prac ticed by labor would be called sabo tage, enables large business to beat down the i prices of raw materials, which it should now be buying from the farmers, such as cotton and wool, while it keeps up its own profits through scarcity prices to the con suming public. EXCHANGE DROPS "A period of financial depression," says Julius Barnes, formerly govern ment grain corporation head, "is be coming felt throughout the United States. Business is generally due to receive a sharp set back. It is al ready seriously apparent in some of our large industries." Barnes sees the failure to pick up foreign trade as a principal factor, and this undoubtedly has much to do with adverse farm prices. London exchange has dropped to $3 54, the lowest in many months. But it is impossible to tell how much of this is due to natural causes and how much to artificial depreciation to enf able foreign buyers to get our farm products at low prices. WHY ROADS FAILED "Separate operation of the railroads in private hands," says William B. Colver of the federal trade commis sion, "utterly broke down when the strain of war was thrown upon them. Five or six boards of railroad execu tives attempted one after another, un successfully, to meet the war load and one by one each board failed dismally. At the end of government operation the roads went back into private hands, and separate operation being resumed, broke down again in less than 90 days. "It is easy to interpose as an ex planation that on March 1 the rail road administration turned back the roads as mere piles of junk, but the figures do not bear out this state ment. "The percentage of locomotives fit for service at the end of government operation was greater than it was at the same time in 1916 and the per centage of cars in repair and fit for service was likewise in favor of the railroad administration. "Under unified operation in 1918, and with substantially the same equipment, the railroad administra tion freight tonnage was 403 billion as against 277 billion tons in 1915 un der separate, private operations. "I hope that when the United States buys $200,000|(000 of new equipment for the railroads that equipment will not be used that way. I hope cars will be charged to the road on whose tracks they go at a fair but stiff rental for each day. I hope that a higher demurrage charge, mounting swiftly to severe penalties, will compel the shipper to load and unload with all speed. I hope recon signment will he limited strictly to its use and that its abuse will be made im possible. "As a single instance of such abuse I hear of 100 cars of coal held on sid ings near a coal-hungry city and awaiting reconsignment of the highest bidder. This coal was held so long that on some cars $1 a ton of'demur rage had accumulated. This demur rage, to be paid in the end by the con sumer, represents a \dead loss and a holding out of use of badly needed coal cars. "It is using coal cars as poker chips instead of using them for transporta- tion." OUR COLONIAL POLICY Franklin D. Roosevelt, now assist ant secretary of the navy and candi date for the vice -presidency, has been bragging about writing the constitu tion for Haiti in his campaign speeches. A first class politician would have known better than to make such a statement, because the American citizen as rule believes that the only persons who should make a constitution for a people are those same people., But Roosevelt does not do more than hint at the ac tual truth of our government of small countries we have recently seised. If he had told the whole truth, he would have told the public that hi not only wrote the constitution for Haiti but adopted it and is enforcing it for them. San Domingo, Guatemala and THE TOMAHAWK, WHITE EARTH, MINN. Guam, as well as Haiti, are absolutely ruled by naval officers, and the local people who have anything whatever to say about government are those will ing to say "yes" to anything which pleases the said naval officers. The great island of Porto Rico, with its more than 800,000 people, is ruled by a broken down Kentucky politician This kind of colonial rule, which harks back to the earliest days of English and Spanish colonization of America, has as its chief motive the seizure of sugar and fruit lands and of public utilities by great American corpora tions, and the avoidance of labor troubles for these same corporations through the use of outside military force i Since 1915 large sugar syndicates and the American Fruit company have been acquiring the lands of the small farmers .throughout the West Indies, including Cuba, because governments maintained by American military pow er have made it practically impossible for the small farmers to continue as independent producers During the last year these sugar interests have repaid the American people for assist ing in their robbery of the West Indies with 30 and 35-cent supar And these naval governors do not neglect acts of petty tyranny. His democratic majesty in Guam ha for bidden whistling in public. A native of San Domingo who wrote patriotic verses is under sentence of death. A "FRIEND" OF LABOR How little the fine words for labor uttered by politicians actually mean is indicated by the retention of Wil bur W. Marsh, president of the Iowa Dairy Separator company, Waterloo, Iowa, as treasurer of the Democratic party. Marsh is a notorious labor hat er and has fought labor organiza tion by all possible means, even to the extent of disregarding the laws of his own state At the present time his factory is engaged in an effort to break up the machinists' union, and Frank Shelley of the Iowa District Inter national Association of Machinists is touring the country to put the local facts before labor bodies. In the Democratic Manual in 1918, page 45, we find: "The right of work ers to organize into trade unions and to bargain collectively through their chosen representatives is recognized and affirmed. This right shall not be denied, abridged or interfered with in any manner whatsoever." Again on page 5 of a booklet issued by the na tional Democratic committee, entitled "Progress of Labor in Wilson Admin istration and Democratic Congress" we find: "The right of laboring men to form unions should be upheld by gov ernment authorities." News reports of the San Francisco convention, on the other hand, told us, "The reelec tion of Wilbur Marsh of Iowa called for ringing applause from the conven tion floor. Marsh is deservedly popu lar." Marsh, it should be said, has as his primary motive a political career manufacturing is only a side issue to provide pin money for ttoe family. It would seem as if organized labor should take care that he does not smite labor with one hand while he achieves his political ambitions with the labor votes on the other. A RAILROAD.BLUFF For over a month publicity men for the railroads and employers in general have been enlarging on how the Penn sylvania Railroad company proved the federal railroad administration had employed too many men by dismissing 12,000 of its employes/ Perhaps the reader will recall editorials drawing from this fact the conclusion of how labor bad to get busy when the effi cient railroad financiers got back on the job. It was on July 8 that the announce ment of the dismissal of this huge force was made, and 13 days later the company issued an order placing an embargo on the movement ot freight. This order, known officially as "Sup plement No. 37 to Embargo No. 5260, Sheet No. 20,031, Extend Item No. 39," reads as follows: "Account labor shortage and to re duce accumulation, embargo all less carload freight, including ferry cars, for movement to or via central region of the Pennsylvania system via any junction point in any region of the Pennsylvania system. "Central region is defined as ex tending from Altoona to Renova, Pa., on the east, to Rochester, N. Y., Buf falo, N. Y., and Lorain, Ohio, on the north and Columbus and Mansfield, Ohio, on the west." In other words', before the much praised suspension order had been more than started, the railroad com pany had to stop taking new business, and the order will never go Into effect, as publicity men announced that if would. WashingtonSteamship companies operating passenger and freight boats on the Great Lakes asked the shipping board for authority to increase passen ger fares 20 per cent ana freLjh rates from 20 to 40 per cent.

Walsh of Mon tana and his secretary were returning from a late session of the senate one night by way of the merry-go-round motor that runs through the subway. This queer, though reputed to be luxurious, motorcar makes more noise than an airplane, and in the clatter and noise one usually sits with closed eyes until whizzed through to the oth er end. On this particular occasion, however, two deaf mutes, utterly un conscious of the din, sat conversing easily on the front seat. Senator Walsh watched their fingers fly, fas cinated. Leaning over to his secre tary, he yelled In his good ear: "Miles, they've got it on us, after all, haven't they?" But in a few minutes he followed it up gleefully with: "Say, Miles, where'd they be In the dark, though?" Naming 'Em. Leonard was interested in rabbits.
