Keeping of Jobs for Union Members. (Waterbury Republican.) According to Col. George Goetz now salvage member of the war claims hoard, there has been between two and | three milion dollars’ worth of leather at the Rock Island arsenal which he | has been endeavoring to pry loose for some time for use m industry, but the American Federation of Labor “keens a man in Washington all the time wlose business it is to see that the workmen at the arsenal arc kept at werk,” and has interfered with a large leather surplus getting to the con-| sumers of the country. He wants the union men at the arsenal to have the job of cutting up that leather on gov- ernment wage schedule. If this is true, it shows the same selfish disregard for the rest of the na- tion in favor of organized labor that has been shown by labor in its endeav- or to put over on the country the Plumb railroad plan.

The poet-hero is disturbed because nobody will give him anything to be heroic about. “I believe I shall act saon,” he says. It would seem that there is noth- ing at hand which calls for action, but he will act anyway. “If nobady will attack me—and I am ready to fight any aggression—I will march on Rome.” No doubt he hopes that Nitti will shake in his shaes at this threat; and the history of Rome is full of the records of gentlemen who acquired military fame in the outlying prov- inces and then marched on Rome to cash in on it.” But d’Annunzio is actu- ated by na unworthy desire for per- sonal power; all he wants is to be a martyr, and nobody will martyr him. “We want to offer ourselves in sac fice. We want to light a fire that will burn high. We cannot be beaten cause death is our victory.” The plight of a gentleman who can- net find anybody to attack him is in- | deed a sad one.
