A Model Union A working agreement covering a period of two years has ee been signed by the Tribune and Typographical union. The negotiations which ifcluded an increase in the scale of pay were | last year. Meredith of Mr. Wilson’s cabinet, who conducted | the world war, a citizen did approach him with the request suggested above and by the figures of their own state show the senator that Iowa farmers are receiving five hundred million dol- lars more this year for their grain crop than This citizen was former Secretary the agricultural department, was formerly and is again the editor of an agricultural newspaper. The senator came back with the old Wal) Street cry at Meredith, saying the secretary sat in the game and assisted to deflate farm prices and produce the greatest agricultural panic of all time. This was of course libelous and Mr. Meredith promptly filed suit claiming damages to the amount of thirty cents. The public feels that Mr. Meredith has prop- erly appraised the possible amount of damage Senator Brookhart could inflict upon the stand- ing, reputation and peace of mind of any citi- zen. Of Course, They Must Pay The net debt of the United States is about $22,000,000,000. More than half of that sum is accounted for by loans made to the allies to aid them in the prosecution of the war and their rehabilitation@after the armistice. There now repose in the treasury the obligations of twen- ty foreign governments, which in principal and accrued interest amount to more than $11,500,- 000,000. Whether or not that huge sum is eventu- ally repaid is of vital personal interest to every taxpayer in the country. A third of all federal expenditures—and that means a third of all federal taxes—now goes to pay the ifterest and reduce the principal of the national debt. With a frank acknowledge- ment by foreign governments of their debts to the American taxpayers, and a reasonable agree- fhe Casper Sunday Worning Critune Took French Leave CODY—Montana’s boundary lne!

The men were released two weeks ago and did not show up at the camp. Grabs the Liquor DOUGLAS—Sheriff Peyton and Deputy Bill Silver yesterday made a capture of the finest moonshine out- fit they have yet discovered. The outfit was found in Mormon canyon fourteen miles south of Glenrock, and three men, two Italians and a Finlander were brought in with the distillery. The still is a 150 gallon one and seven gallons of mash were awaiting transformation into moon- shine whiskey. The location was an {deal one for It Happened In Wyoming Matters and Things, of State-Wide Interest, Wired in, Telephoned, Written, Grape-Vined and Some of It Purloined We have had more moisture than ever before in the history of the county, and more cool days, which is not supposed to be good for corn, but it seems to have had no bad effect as practically all fields are so far advanced that no possible early frost could do any damage. ‘There are perhaps several thousand acres of corn in the basin that will make fine feed that have heretofore been shipped in at heavy expense. It will make not only a good grain feed but will add materially to the rough feed which is so badly needed. This year's success with corn will be a great incentive for farmers another year, .and that grain will from now on be one of the regular staple products of the good farmer. all.

Some eighteen or twenty persons have been apprehended and serving the about Uke—not excepting ple and dough- nuts. The dinner was served by a committee of 10 girls, of which Miss Doris Kooi was chairman. ‘The dinner was followed by a “sing” lead by Nat Hilt, T. C.

Although planned originally for boys of the city who had not yet en- joyed an outing this year, the idea of the Elks picnic rapidly became so popular that the Invitation was stretched to include every boy in Sheridan between the ages of 10 and 14, whether or not his father or other member of his family was an Elk.

This brings up the whole matter of organized labor and why men can be so unreasonable as to fall out and permit strikes, stoppage of busi- neas and engender illfeeling. It never occurs with the Typographical union, and there are no doubt other unions that conduct their busine: relations with employers in. the same manner. The printers’ union is composed of intelligence, the nature of the business makes it so. Their com- mittee simply asks for a conference, it is readily granted and their case presented, together with facts and figures, and in all of the years of ex- an installment on the principal, about $500,000,- 000 per year would be taken from the amount that our taxpayers have to contribute annually to the support of their government. Great Brit- ain and two or three smaller countries have al- completed such an agreement or taken steps toward it. France intimates} she will send negotiators to Washington next month. The United States is accustomed to pay its bills without quibbling. All it asks is similar treat- ment from its debtors. Pure spring water flowed into the| cabin and clean copper vessels had} been provided, so that this distillery was in decided contrast to the usual ones that have been discovered.

It is responsible, reliable ana thoroughly trustworthy. , It would be a fine thing for organized labor in general if all would pattern after the print- ers. A strike or disagreement is unknown. The union supports a magnificent home for the aged, ick and mortuary benefits, plans for tem- fn has sic ‘ porary tance, cares for its members and their dependents, its members receive good “s, are good citizens and upholders of law tan onder oan patriotic to.a degree that sets a pattern for other unions to profitably emulate. You find no radicals, bolshevists or wobblies in the printers’ union, They take pride in keep- ing their ranks clear of all such undesirables. ‘Alurmists trouble makers and creators of dis- cord are never found in places of authority and when their representatives come to do business with employers it is in the nature of a friendly visit to discuss the good of the order. There is no good reason why every other labor organization cannot be managed upon the same high plane as the printers conduct their busi- nesx. We all want to do business with organ- ized labor in every line of employment or con- tract. We all prefer to see good wages paid for good work and if there is fall down. anywhere, it mgy frequently be traced to fault in the unions themselves. There are good unions and bad unions, well managed unions and the other kind. 'The print- ers’ union is both a good union and a well man- aged union. That is one reason why after taking excellent care of its own it has a balance in cash of four million dollars in its treasury, No one would be unwilling to assist or re- fuse to encourage every other union to place it- self upon the same prosperous basis as the print- ers, and help build a prestige for them of equal eminence. = <m It Cannot Be Done Those who would legislate prosperity into the farmers have taken a fresh breath since the ac- cession of President Coolidge, and are impor- tuning him to call a special session of congress for their purposes.There is no indication that the president will do anything of the sort; in fact, his declaration that he would follow the policies of his distinguished predecessor means that congress will not be brought together be- fore the regular session which opens the first Monday in December. Mr. Harding was fully advised of the plight of the farmers and of the impending coal strike, but was convinced that neither of them pre- sented an emergency that warranted a special session of congress. The facts of the matter are that the situation of the farmers is dee solely to the operation of the law of supply and de mand that no amount of legislation can amend, and the executive already has sufficient power to maintain the fuel supply in the event a small minority of the people k to stop it Perils of Loquacity It in a wise piece of Yankee ndvice—don't at- tempt to speak your piece until you learn it.— Senator Brookhart of Towa is evidently not fa- miliar with this admonition. Or if so, he does not regard it highly, for of all the statesmen of recent times he has perturbed more atmosphere of late than LaFollette and William J. Bryan working in concert in their palmiest days. Of course, if the senator talked merely for the physical exercise it afforded, it could be passed up and no harm done, but he has recent- ly 1 indications of thinking he is saying mmething. A man could even be excused, on ion, for talking non-sense, that enlivens the drab situation; but when he talks about things concerning which he totally lacks information and expects to be taken seriously, it is then time far someone to step forward, politely touch him on the shoulder and request him to abate the clatter, When the farm bloc senator from Towa re soundingly proclaims throughout the length and breadth of the Hawkeye state that the farmers have lost ‘a greater sum than the entire cost of 00 that will at once occur to the reader. First, Georgia is sending away every year $75,000,000 that should be kept at home. That amount of money is kept from owners of Georgia farms and workmen on Georgia farms. Then. too, consumers of imported food prod- ucts in Georgia are paying freight charges on the imported goods. We hear continual com- plaints of the effect of freight rates on the cost of goods, and yet Southern Virginia buys po- tatoes in Michigan and Chicago buys potatoes from far-off Idaho. By raising their own food stuffs, Georgia people could save the freight. We Awish the railroads no harm, but we see no reason why any community shauld pay freight. commissions and handling losses when these can be avoided. But there is another thought that occurs to | us in connection with the statement made 1} the Atlanta Constitution. The people of the Unit ed States are spending millions of dollars in Europe, Asia, and other lands, for commodities which can as well be produced here. Self-suffi ciency is not merely a local problem: it is a national problem. We should buy it “Made in America” whenever possible. Smoot on Farm Situation Senator Reed Smoot of Utah says: “The plight of the American farmers is one the most ser- ious problems before the nation. In my opinion no legislation we can enact will relieve the situ- ation. It is absurd to suppose that the American public will stand for any price fixing ‘scheme which some members of congress advocate. If price fixing is to be tried to insure farmers a fair return on their products, then there is no reason why the principle should not be applied to all producers. Such a plan if carried to its logical conclusion would almost wreck the na- tion. “We have done everything practicable to re- lieve the distress of the farmers by making it possible for them to secure loans io tide them over the present depression. In my opinion, how- ever, it would have been wiser for congress to have ad ed drastic economy on the part of farm ather than to make it easier for them to get into debt. Interest day is sure to come as well as the day when the principal must be aid.” eed Smoot comes from an agricultural sec- n and he is alive to the interests of the farm- He is al8o regarded as one of the sanest legislators we have had in congress in many yea His words are well worth consideration, America a Success ye When all has been said and done, America has heen a success. As an experiment in democracy the United States has been the most successful experiment ever known. For 150 years it has given a higher standard of living, an ampler edu cation, and a freer life to the whole body of its citizens from top to bottom, than any other land It has absorbed millions of emigrants from all the races of Europe, has made them patriotic citizens. has given them better opportunities than evere before, and has not hesitated to en- trust them with full political responsibility as well. Yet it has never been unfaithful gr udition of political and religious freedom which its founders brought from England, or men like George Washington or Abraham Lin- coln have given it since. And, despite all the and the tremendous difficulty of - similating some classes of immigrants to Amer ican standards, there is no sign of that tradi- tion falling now. Nor has America failed in the fundamental dut of a state. It has kept the reign of law within itself. It has cut out the canker of sly sry from its own heart, at the cost of a civil war. And when the test of the Great War came, despite its traditions, its distance, its aversion to Europe, its democratic control of foreign pol- icy, alone among neutrals, it came in effectively on the right side, and within eighteen months landed 2,000,000 men on the shores of France to fight for freedom’s cause.
