He objects to the use of the injunction as a means of settling labor disputes. It would be rather dif- ficult for Mr. Gompers to show wherein Repub- licans are any more partial to the use of the in- junction than members of his own Democratic par- ty. However, a discussion of this particular fea- ture would be aside trom the point. Of more value is the example just furnished by the appellate division of the Supreme Court of New York in which it upheld an injunc- tion granted a garment workers’ union of that state against a manufacturers’ association. The action of this high court of the state of New York sustaining a labor union in getting an in- junction against an employer clearly shows the in- junction is double-edged and can be used by labor, organized or unorganized, quite as effectually as it can be used by employers. The history of this injunction dates back to Oc tober, 1921. At that time the Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers’ iation of New York city loct-- ed out the employ belonging to the International Ladies Garment Workers’ Union, although the union had a contract with the manufacturers’ as- seciation which did not,expire until June 1, 1922, The manufacturers attempted to make arbitrary changes in working condition and jalso to put into effect wage reductions, both of which were in viola- tion of the contract. When the union members pro- tested the manufacturers declared a lockout. The him. There were people brought before our com-; mittee and people brought before the grand jury) out of the war department who were concerned with the keeping of these records, who deliberately hid and lost papers for the purpose of keeping members of the committee and officers of the de-| partment of justice from examining them. I am not saying that the prosecution oaght to be delayed,| but I say that a reasonable time ought to be given for investigation, and then the law ought to be en- forced as quickly as possible under the circum- stances. A great deal is being said about the fail- ure of the department of justice to prosecute. No/ lawyer, I care prot what his ability or standing could have gone into the department of justice when this administration did and, out of the utter confustion that reigned there, had any of these highly important war-fraud cases ready for trial before this time. But the country now expects vig- orous action, and I have all confidence that the de- partment of justice will respond readily and fully to that demand.”. It should be borne in mmd that the investigation referred to was conducted by the Republican congress elected in 1918 but was conducted during the last two years of the Wilson administration when A. Mitchell Palmer ‘was attorney General, Newton D. Baker, secretary of war, and the Demo cratic administration was in control of all of the administrative offices. Representative Graham charged that over one- half of the money expended in the war, raised by sale of Liberty bonds and taxes was undoubtedly squandered. He showed that under the admimistra- tion of the war department $116,194.974 was spent on nitrate plants which produced no nitrates; $20,- 000,000 on by-product coke ovens that produced nothing; $35,000,000 on picric ncid plants that pro- duced nothing; untold millions on tanks and yet no tanks were constructed; $116,000,000 for poison gas and no poison gas was obtained; $200,000,000 for powder plants that produced no powder; $127,- 000,000 for port terminals that docked no ships; $1,- 051,512,000 for aeroplanes and no aeroplanes were produced; £1,200,000,,000 for the construction of army canton=acuts in which it is capable of dem- anctions was One} onstration that one-half was graft and waste. As if this vast expenditure of money which pro- duced nothing in the way of war material before the war was over and the armistice signed, was not a sufficient waste and scandal, the Democratic ad- ministration went to the extreme of entering into contracts for war material after the armistice was lars for all sorts of munitions and war equipment after peace had been declared. This cannot be excused or explained away by the statement that it was impossible to close all war activities instantly upon the signing of the arnds- tice. Even after July 2. 1919, eight months after the signing of the armistice, munition factories under the orders of the war department turned out tremendous quantities of shells and ordnance. One order of 355 howitzers, costing approximately $10,- 0f0 each, was accepted after July 3, 1919. Orders of expensive shelis running into the hundreds of thousands were accepted after that date. Not only were American plants kept busy mannu- facturing war munitions eight months after peace had been declared but factories in England and France were kept running on contracts which our war department would not’ cancel. France made a delivery to this country after the armistice was signed of 944 guns and carriages of an old model of 1897, which had absolutely no military value what- ever. She also delivered under contract another or- der of 198 guns and carriages, and still another order of 700 guns and carriages. England deliver- ed 200 60-pound guns, 100 six-inch gums and 355 eight-inch howitzer guns and carriages.

This ended the|in order to keep their factories busy. None of the lockout, although the manufacturers appealed Wag-| product of these plants is of any*use whatever to ner’s action to the state appelate court. This court has just upheld Justice Wagner in the granting of an injunction and also his reasons for granting the injunction. The dicision of the New York ap- pellate court was reached by a four to one vote. Justice Alfred Page in handing down the decision took occasion to remark that, “The law does not have one rule for the employer and another for the employe. In a court of justice they stand on exact equality, each case to be decided upon the same principles of law impartially applied to the facts in the -case.” Among conservative trade unionsists, who are un- infMmenced by the Democratic propaganda of Mr. Gompers and his crowd, it is believed this decision | foresshadows a new era in the use of court injun- ctions in industrial Cisputes. Labor organizations heretofore have refused to use the injunction as a weapon of defense, content under the leadership of Mr. Gompers to confining themselves to denounc- ing the use of injunctions at all and to denouncing the courts which issue injunctions. The sweeping victory for the New York labor organization in its Jegal fight to enforce a trade union contract by the use of a court injunction is a severe blow to the Gompers propaganda, which was summed up in his YPecent expression, “God save labor from the courts.” Conservative trade unionists believe that the decision of the New York appellate court marks the beginning of the end of that school of labor leaders which advoeate court defiance and nse of violence to obtain their ends. In any event, the de- “cision of the New York state appellate court is a body blow to Mr. Gompers’ recently heralded cam- paign against the courts and the Republican party. Waste of War Money Ae AMAZING- exposition of war graft and waste +* coupled with a powerful arraignment of the Democratic administration, which was responsible vor it, and an explanation as to why the department of justice since March 4, 1921, has not been able to bring war grafters to book, was made by Repre- sentative Graham of Tlimois on the fioor of the house. Mr. Graham is especially qnalified to speak knowingly on this subject because he was a member of the special house commission which in- vestigated the expenditures of the war department. Speaking in reply to the Democratic queries as to why the department of justice under Attorney Gen- eral Dangherty had not initiated any prosecutions of alleged war grafters, stated that when the sub- ject of graft and waste was heing investigated by a special house committee “the Democratic mi- nority in every instance filed minority reports and did everything they could to obstruct investigation und prosecution. When we put our finger on some scalawag who had defrauded the government and the United States. There are thousands upon .thonsands of cases of war graft that never will be prosecuted because of the fact that although they were outright steals they were made legal by the acts of the Democratic administration. Taking advantage of the tremen- dous and almost unlimited autocratic war power granted it, at its own request by congress, the ad- ministration abrogated all laws which were on the books for the protection of the American people. The statute requiring all government contracts to jbe let by bidding and to be made in writing was sus- pended by the secretary of war six days after the declaration of war. Not content with this, after the armistice was signed, the Democratic congress enacted the notor- jous Dent law. This piece of legislation was en- acted under the pretense that it was necessary in order to permit Secretary of War Baker, Attorney General Paimer acd others to make a speedy settle- ment of war «lanys and contracts, but after the passage of the act it was found that thousands of claims existed for which there was not even so much as a scratch of a pen as evidence. Over. 30,000 such claims were filed before a board created by Secretary of War Baker and a half a billion dollars was paid out on these claims with- ont any accounting and without any legal justifica- tion at all except in the language of the Dent act itself. The Republican congress elected in 1918 protested upon various occasions against the ac- tion of war department in the settlement of these claims but these protests had no effect upon the Democratic administration, After the elections in 1920 various Democratic administrative officials and employes proceeded to destroy or sequester records and to so tangle up the books and docu- government under the Wilson regime that to this day they have not been repleced and straightened out.

The English law provides that treaties must reecive the endorsement of the dominions be- ‘Sore they are ratified by the king. The proceeding takes time, but meanwhile the Brititsh admiralty jhas taken steps that practically make the treaties operative. The personnel of the ships is being re- duced to the point that the navy reduction treaty permits, stores of ammunition are being cut down, perparations are under way for breaking up cer- tain capital ships, and a bill is being drafted for introduction in Parliament that will enable the car- irying out in fall of the treaty obligations.

Is it not wonderful to lve on a highway bearing such @ proud tifle? The only other high- way in the world that has received a greater amount of advertising than is proposed for the Park to Park high- way is the Appian Way in the epvir- ons of Rome and the man who built it, Claudius Applus, although gather- ed to his fathers two thousand years ago, is still remembered by all lovers of good roads as the pioneer road pav- er and the only man in the businesc whose work and memory have been cherished for centuries after the pav- ing assessrnents had been liquidated.

There will m\ortly be delivered to each member ant officer of the Park to Park Highway association one of the most attractive radiator emblems in use, and unquestionably the only one of its kind in the work This applies to shape as well as lors. The emblem has the shape of a shield, featuring the national colors in stars and stripes, red, white and blue, and in the center displaying the Na- tional Park to Park Highway assoc!- ation embiem in green and the words “Master Scenic Highway of America” in gold or silver, making in all five different colors. The emblem is made of the best material and fastens to the radiator with nut and a lock nut. It is prevented from turning by a small lug at the back. The metal used is absolutely non: iS, and the enam- el is the best that can be produced. ‘The official publication of the asso- ciation is now in course of distribu- tion. It features the scenic attraction, recreative places, and places of histori- cal interest, endeavoring thereby to get the automobile traveler to linger @ little longer in each community. The association is interested in showing the scenic west, not directing travel |. through the scenic west. In this pub- Ueation nothing byt scenes of the na- tional parks are shawn, many of them having never been published before. ‘The. map of the National Park to Park highway holds a prominent place and the mileage from park to park and from town to town is given, as the highway has no beginning and no ending. Each and every city or town may justty consider itself the starting and ending of this wonder tour, such as no other nation can offer. Every car starting for or over the Park to Park highway will be provid- ed with an attractive windshield stick- er, displaying the association's em- blem and the words “Master Scenic Highway of America” on the front and on the back “You Sing America, Why Not See It.” It is estimated that at least 25,000 cars will bear this sticker during the season of 1922.

Ned began to how!) with laughter. “It's a maple, Who ever heard of an ‘acer’ tree?” “The—the—er—botany folks that| put labels on the trecs In the city! parks have heard of the ‘acer,’ stouty ly declared Ted; “but,” he added,/ honestly, “they also put our name} ‘maple’ on the maple trees.”. | “Oh yes, now I see.

If you look in a good dictionary you'l! find both names given.” “What's that tree? demanded Ned. ‘Ted examined it and said, “It's an oak.” “No siree! It’s an ironwood tree.” “Looks like an oak to me,” insisted ‘Ted, and then Ned began to point out trees that Ted really didn’t know any- thing about. The more commort, ones like pine, elm, oak and birch he knew, but he mistook spruce for hem- lock, couldn't tell the difference be- tween red and white oak, did't rec- ognise chestnut. or cottonwood, thought beech was a form of maple, and in half.an hour he discovered that he was surprisingly ignorant about trees. D “I’m going to collect bark and learn aM about trees,” he declared. , “What's the use?” sald Ned, “The bark will dry and curl up and split within six months and yau never can tell what it is.” ‘Ted thought a moment, then he ex- claimed, “I know!" “I know you know. I told you,” grinned Ned. “I mean I know how to make bark collection that will be all right. “Another one of your inventions?’ asked Ned, “No, can't take credit for this. 1 remember seeing some specimens of bark in the Natural History Museum at home and they kept the samples of bark right on the wood. I never knew why before, but it must be to pre- vent it from drying, cracking and curling up, as you sav.” “But you'd fill up. a house with SS six inches long.
