THE CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION
Maine's Third Congressional Dis
trict gave a good account of Itself
yesterday despite the severe storm,
and other adverse conditions.
The returns received at the time of
writing Indicate a very gratifying
majority for Hon. John E. Nelson,
the Republican candidate.
When the returns are all in they
will not afford the national Democrat
ic organization any real comfort,
notwithstanding the active interest it
has taken in the contest, and the
evidence of Its financial support.
The record of special elections in
this State shows that invariably a
small vote is polled. The only com
parison possible is with the land
slide of 1920, when the women voted,
though tills really affords no fair
comparison, the Republican majority
being beyond all expectations. A re
action was, in the nature of things.
Inevitable. The storm undoubtedly
kept many from the polls, especially
In the rural districts. The echoes of
the primary contest contributed to j
Republican apathy in some quarters,
and encouraged Democrats to put
forth their strongest efforts.
If the Republican candidate had not
been a strong candidate he would
rot have won with the forces oppos
ing him. t
Look at Waterville, the community ,
that had known John E. Nelson from i
boyhood to matured manhood and
knew him root and branch. In the
Republican landslide of 1920 the
Democrats carried that city by a
plurality of 272. John Nelson car- ■
rlcd It by a plurality of 7S1, a gain
of 1053 votes.
If you wish to get an idea of wlia.t
the Democrats expected to accom
plish read—we would not recommend
it for a regular practice—the Boston
American, largo numbers of which
were sent to Augusta for free dis
tribution. Monday. This announces
in glaring headlines: “Four Power
Treaty Faces Rebuke In Maine Elec
tion.”
This affords direct proof of what
the Journal ail along lias contended,
that tills election was regarded of
significant national Interest. Thanks
to those who realized this and acted
upon It, and to the strength of the
candidate, the result is such as to
give the Republican party and the
llarding administration splendid en
couragement in the tremendous task
that confronts it.
A WORTHY EFFORT
May success attend the efforts of
the American Legion to find employ
ment for the unemployed ex-service
men.
The conditions which many of them
found when returning to the task of
earning a livelihood have been un
favorable. The places from which
they were taken into the service of
the country were filled. Tossibly
their aptitude for the employment
had deteriorated somewhat while in
the service. It would not be strange
were this so. It may be that they
experienced a disinclination to get
*ack into the harness. They arc hu
man beings and due allowance should
be made. Not only that but due re
gard should be had of the fact that
they were taken for the use of the
country and they served that purpose
creditably. We must not forget that.
The desire of any person to honor
ably enrn his livelihood should be re
spected and encouraged. Such a de
sire on the part of tho cx-service
man is worthy of special attention
and effort to assist him. He not only
responded to the call for the supreme
sacrifice, but he now wishes to con
tinue to do his part in the world.
Help the ex-service man to a job.
“A. R. FROST”
The mystery was explained, Mon
day.
The Democrats used this fictitious
name, "A. R. Frost," appended to
their scurrilous propaganda, evident
ly thinking that at the proper time
they would explain that it stood for
"A Republican Frost.”
When they found they were liable
to get Into trouble for transgressing
the law of 1921 regulating political
advertising, they kept mum.
What was started for "A Republi
can Frost” turned out to be A Demo
cratic Frost.

PROTECTING THE RASCALS
Anyone who has to buy builders
materials affected by the defiant j
profiteering revealed by the Lock
wood Committee in New York, who
rejoiced in the sending of sonic of the
rascally labor leaders and contractors I
to Jail, is interested, whether living in
Maine or California. The brazen ef
frontery displayed is now all the
move aggravating because the New
York Legislature has made it impos
sible to continue the work of the
committee. A representative of the
notorious glass trust led the figlit
against the bills which would have
enabled the committee to continue its
good work.
Samuel Untermyer, the chief coun
sel of the committee, is to probe the
lobby which brought about the de
feat of the bills. He is adroit and
able but it may be doubted whether
he can overcome the collusion with
those in high places. No wonder
there was much drinking of toasts on
the eve of adjournment. Those who
buy the products of the profiteers
will have to pay for the champagne.
BRING THE TRQOPS HOME
In a recent speech in the Senate
Poindexter stated that only about
2000 American soldiers arc to be left
on the Rhine. In view of the dispo
sition of the Allies to haggle over
technicalities about paying them and
in view of the fact that they have
been there solely for the benefit of
those allies why not bring them all
homo?
When the Allies receive the note
which Secretary Hughes is writing
their vision may be somewhat
cleared, but be that as it may this
policing of the Rhine by American
soldiers under existing conditions is
not one which appeals to the average
American.
The inventor who has discovered a

ments.
Just why do the boot-leggers pay
their income taxes and refuse to heed

MATTER FOR CONSIDERATION
A rum laden schooner boldly un
loading its cargo into waiting vans,
men clad in Scotch tweed suits and
bedecked with diamonds acting as
stevedores and some ot New York's
policemen sitting in an automobile
looking on, surely matter for consid
eration. The further fact that the
smugglers were aimed and freely re
sorted to shooting, when the enforce
ment officials appeared, that 35 were
injured, some of them, seriously, also
is matter for consideration.
There is no avoiding the conviction
that money is being made and spent
in large sums by the boot-leggers' in
terests; that their success is such as
to give them great confidence; that
the few times their plans fail are
charged-off to profit and loss.
Once this conviction becomes es
tablished in the public mind it will
then be capable of better compre
bending the situation. Hither the
boot-legging interests will run things
in certain rarts of the country or
they must be run out. It's a big job
but the country has put its hand to it
and will it now withdraw? It will not.
RULE OR RUIN
The policy of rule or ruin is very
much in evidence in Ireland these
days. About two weeks ago Arthur
Griffith declared respecting the mu
tiny among some of the soldiers in
the Irish army that it had been in
cited by DeYalora’s followers and if
lie would condemn it the danger
would be greatly lessened.
Now DeValera corroborates him by
declaring that there will be civil war
in Ireland if the treaty with England
is accepted at the polls. To prepare
for this his followers are undoubted
ly^endeavoring to raise money from
sympathizers in America. He seems
incapable of working under any other
policy than that of rule or ruin and
it is becoming more and more appar
ent that if he comes to the rule of
Ireland he will lead her to ruin.
Disagreement appears to agree
with California juries.
So this is the first day of Spring!

Editorial Comment
Senator Reed'* Achievement
(Jay E. House in Public Ledger)
Senator Keed m his speech on
Thursday attacked President Hard
ing, Chief Justice Taft, Elihu Root
and Secretaries Hughes, Hoover, and
[ Mellon. And. it may be added, the gen
I tlemen mentioned h«A'e many oilier
i qualities that endear them to the
hearts of the American people.
However. Mr. Reed's speech, when
considered as an achievement, pales
into insignificance when compared to
some of his eailier'triumphs. We re
call having been in court once when
a young Negro was on tiial for the.
heinous offense of having snatched a
purse containing $1.50 from a white
lady. Senator Keed prosecuted the
case so ably and so energetically that
the young Negro was sentenced to
forty years in the penitentiary.
A Limping Leader
(N. Y. Tribune)
Hiram Johnson's great strength in
j California was due to public belief in
. his progressiveness and nationalism,
lie was a candidate with Colonel
Roosevelt on the Progressive ticket
in 1912 and was elected Senator in
1916 by a big plurality when Califor
nia voted for Wilson and Marshall.
Iiis candidacy for the Republican
Presidential nomination in 1920 alsc
made an appeal to many former Pro
gressives.
, Iiis recent record in the Senate has.
however, pretty thoroughly destroyed
the illusion that lie is capable of gen
1 uine national leadership. He1 has as
sociated himself with Messrs. La Fol
i letto, Borah and France in a fight to
defeat the four-power Pacific treaty
end to wreck the work of the Wash -
ington conference. No one questions
Mr. Borah's great ability. But lie is
by nature a dissenter and a free
lance. He comes from a very small
state, is for that reason practically
ineligible to run for President and is
at liberty to pursue his own vagaries
in politics. But Mr. Johnson repre
sents a state which is politically srn
- sitive and ambitious. It is rapidly
forging to the front and demands of
its spokesmen that they shall help to
increase its prestige and to keep it in
touch with national sentiment and
progress.
On the four-power treaty issue Mr.
Johnson lias not done this. His point
of view lias been parochial and ob
structive. Ho has lent himself to a
conspiracy of malice anti vengeance,
which seeks to reject the treaty not
because of any demerits, but solely as
I a measure of partisan retaliation. The
country generally doesn't like tiiis.
Neither do Californians. They are
turning away from Mr. Johnson and
many of them are urging Mr. Hoover
to be a candidate in the coming Sen
| atonal primary. Mr. Hoover is na
tional-minded. California, undoubt
edly, is also national-minded. It has
good reasons for resenting an align
1 ment in the Senate which links one
°t its votes with those of Republican
I irreconcilables like Borah, La Follette
and France, and also with those of
the “die-hard’’ Wilson followers who
do not oppose the four-powi r treaty*
' in principle," but simply seek to sat
isiy a personal and factional grudge.
Building Labor in Chicago
(Boston Herald)
Last Sept, mill r, when Judge Ken
-Mountain Landis made ids l'a
meus awa rd in the Chicago building
trades arbitration. The Herald cont
niented on iis terms and evident itn
porlanee. Now the iioston News Bu
rcau summarizes the events that fol
lowed that decision, showing that the
labor unions refused to abide by the
terms of the award, although they,
hive the employers, had pledged
themselves in advance to accept tile
decision whatever if might be, ami
telling the story of tile Citizens’ Com
mittee to lilt force the Landis Award,
made ui» of ISO of the leading business
men of the ciiy.
The award itself was rightly hailed
ns a kind of emancipation proclama
tion. Kvi't'jbody expected the judge
in a few days to reach his conclusions
as to the just see of the demand id' the
* mployers lor a reduction in the wage
se:.;e. Hut he soon percoivrd tint
mer'oly to announce a new scale would
not bring permanent peat■ • in the Chi
cago building industry, that wages was
not tin- real issue at stake, that, to
ouote tin News liui'iau. •'underl vLig
all questions of scale lay tin- restric
tive rules and regulations included in
all contracts and intended to g. t for
lahjir the biggest possible amount of
money for tin- smallest possible ex
penditure of ‘skill' and time.”
Alter many weeks Judge Landis
rendered his decision, lie “scrapped
ail lules intended io make work' aid
‘string out the job.' He granted non
union men tin- right to work on union
jobs when union nu n wa re scarce. H •
took away the right of union men to
refuse to permit the use of labor
saving devices. Km plovers might in
their discretion assign small tasks in
cue Trade to workers m another trade.
Tlie fast work* r should no longer be
limited to tlie speed of llie slowest
workman. Kmployors might ‘fire’ a
union man for proper cause." 4\ ;.| so
through a long list of s.milar abuses,
abuses that have prevailed not merely
in Chicago, but pretty generally all
over the I'uited States.
Also Judge Landis reduced wages.
Hut, says Hie News Bureau, he ' took
into consideration the seasonal nature
of the building business, lie made al
lowance lor the way weather condi
tions shorten the year of the average,
building workman, and left wages still'
high,' 'an important fart of which tiie
country has heard but little.
And then what happen!d? "Of the
32 unions in the i hieago Building
Trades Council four stood locally bv
their pledge to accept the award. And
IS others liesitat<d, made public
threats, but rather than strike in the
slack season of the year avoided an
outright breach with the verdict. The
carpenters had declined pt the outs't
to enter the arbitration and have since
refused to accept the arbiter's rcc>m
tnendations, insisting on rules and
wages that imperil the peaceful eon
duet of business under the terms i.f
the award. And nine other unions, in
eluding the plumbers and the lallnrs.
refused to work at tin arbiter's scale,"
Tlie matter infant • a public issue •■{
tlie lirst significance. Public opinion
rose high. The citizens' eominil'ic
was ntganized, with no titan in its list
of ISO names dircetlv connected with
a building trade, but sithport'd l.v
practically all the industries of Chi
ta go. The committee raised $;i,oOn,
fiiMt, and set to work to impose the
award on the patties that had pledged
themselves to abide by its terms, in
the interest of the general welfat■ >.
"For weeks the committee sought io
persuade the unions to stand to their
agreements with tlie open .-l op as re
inevitable alternative. The r. incut
finishers, hoisting engineers and la
borers went out on what they called
a ‘sympathetic strike.'" At length,
after the voice of the public had been
heard, and the arbitrr had refused to
recede from his position, the nine
trades issued a statement of their de
cision to accept the award and go to
work with non-union men on the same
job.
The citizens’ committee refused to
accept this decision as made in go d
faith. It is said that the members of
three of the nine unions did all tin

six declared it did not need to vote,
owing to Its private arrangement with
local manufacturers for satisfactory
restrictions on all the goods it hand Id.
A very few recalcitrant unions, per
haps. oven one. could upset th<* whole
structure of the Industry. And the
citizens' committee now auuounces
that these trades hereafter shall be
run on the open-shop basis, that "the
men must apply for work individually,
agree to abide by the Landis seal",
work peacefully with open-shop men,
and refrain from striking." But
they in turn are “guaranteed against
unfair treatment by their employe:’*,
with the right of appeal to an impar
tial hoard, and they are to keep their
union membership if they desire.”
Such is the present situation. The
committee has successively refused to
modify the terms of the decision or
to throw out the non-union men who
went lo work under Die open-shop plan
while the unions still stood out against
tho award The committee ore on
record for the open shop because In
their judgment the return of the out
law unions under the circumstances
means in a few months a return to the
old conditions of waste, slacking and
graft. The committee also denounce
the labor leaders for thr lr long and
selfish exploitation of the men. And
th<* committee declare that their pres
ent plan recognizes tho rights nf all
and limits the rights of none. In the
judgment of the News Bureau the must
significant statement in the last man
ifesto of the citizens’ committee is
thin:
"We have faith in Dm union work
men; we believe Ho y have boon mis
led. browbeaten and threatened inty
the support of their officers."
