Reduced to Simplest Terms
4 The following extract from Secretary W.
B. Wilson's annual report for the Department
of Labor reduces the problem of industrial
peace to its lowest and simplest terms:
3 We are all interested in industrial peace.
1 But there can be no permanent industrial -'peace
that is not based upon industrial
"justice. ... Nor is it permissible that
either side to an industrial controversy be
the sole judge of what constitutes justice.
-;The means must exist by which all men
may know that justice has been secured.
- Such "means" do exist and are within reach.
It only remains to establish them in concrete
and working form, and when they have been
fairly and impartially established for determin
ing justice as between industrial disputants they
will have been established to make known to
all that justice has been secured.
But they cannot be established when capital,
by rejecting the principle of collective bargain
ing, insists upon being the sole judge of what
constitutes justice in any controversy. And
they cannot be established when labor, by re
jecting the principle of a binding arbitration,
insists for its side upon being the sole judge
of what constitutes justice in any controversy.
. The way to industrial peace lies clear enough
ahead.. Only the refusal of a combative and
srubhom element both among large organiza
tions of capital and large organizations of labor
now blocks the road, and they must be made
to get out of tht way. New York Would,
UNSCRAMBLING THE PACKERS.
. Out of tht mists that surround the mea
picking Industry just now on fact shines clear.
Meat eaters must have meat, and this must be
prepared for their uses through some agency,
Whether It will be to their advantage to have
multiplied the toll-taking elements of this agency
that intervenes between the producer and con
sumer is to be demonstrated by experience.
Will it make any material difference In the
cost of living if one form of food is controlled
by on combination of dealers and producers
and another by another? It tht tribute-payer
especially concerned at to who gets the extra
profit taken from him? ,
Aside from this, the victory of the govern
ment ever tht "Big Five" packert is of academic
interest chiefly. To require that tht immense
combination! of capital refrain from operating
under unified control may avert tht dangtr of
tht threatened "monopoly," but it will not do
away with tht necessity for the employment of
that capital in tht preparation and distribution
of the various articles in which the demobilized
organization wat concerned.
As a matter of fact, the big packing com
panies had proceedeLso far in the way of re
organizing their business into separate units
that the exactions of the decree had been met
before it was presented. Some of the minor
particulars are not likely to be so readily ad
justed. The sale of stock yards shares, "pre
ferably to live stock producers and the public,"
involves something more than a mere declara
tion on part of the government of demand and
on part of the packers of acquiescence. It may
be questioned if the public will ehow any more
enthusiasm over the purchase of government-
regulated stock yards than it has for the government-controlled
railroad shares. ; This also
must wait on the future.
Finally, a matter of no particular Importance,
confining the use of packer-owned refrigerator
cars to packer-produced commodities may tye
the means of some inconvenience to other ship
pers.. However, this may be regulated so that
the cars may be of utmose service to the public.
Cynical observers will recall as they read the
congratulatory messages exchanged between
the government officials what happened when
the Standard Oil company was "dissolved.", It
is possible that nothing of the kind will ensue as
a result of the settlement with the packers, but
it it equally possible and more probable that
the business will suffer but little through being
divested of its side lines.
The main thing is that Americans are yet dis
trustful of too great combinations of capital
employed and directed by corporations. Real
izing the tendency tocombination and the ad
vantages that arise from proper consolidation
and co-operation, abhorrence of monopoly
breeds insistence on limitation of the activities
of associated capital. This attribute of true
democracy is a determining factor and must al
ways be reckoned with in any clash between the
public and the "trusts."
Cutting Down Expenditures.
A welcome message comes from Washing
ton, Majority. Leader Mondell having an
nounced that the 1921 appropriations will be
pared to the limit. The present congress already
has shown what it can do along the economy
line. Through a monumental exercise of legis
lative incompetence, the democrats failed to
complete the job of making appropriations be
fore the party lost its control of congress in
March. At the time they alleged the appropria
tion bills were defeated by a republican filibus
ter. If so, it was a good thing for the country,
for even with the rush incidental to having but
a fortnight to give to, the job when called in
cnriat ftirtn. tha rfnnhlirans succeeded in
lopping a billion dollars off) the measures the
democrats had sought to put through, saving
the taxpayers just that much. The tax levy
could not be changed, as it had been irrevocably
fixed by the democratic congress. With this
record already established, it is very certain
the expenditures for the following year will be
held to- a limit as low as the proper adminis
tration of national affairs 1 will permit This
means lower taxes for 1921, and a consequent
relief from the strain borne for the last three
.at .a. a.. .
years. Mr. Mondell thinks estimates may De
cut by at least a billion dollars. If this is true,
it will effect a further saving in taxation of more
than half a billion, after allowing for the half
billion deficit created by the funding of interest
on loans to foreign governments. The nation
will welcome a policy of rigid economy
as a step to the solution of problems arising
from the war.
Underwood or Hitchcock?
A momentous decision is to be arrived at in
Washington tonight, if the program is carried
out The democrats of the senate will decide
which is Ho be boss of the minority, and the
choice lies between Gilbert Monell Hitchcock
of Nebraska and Oscar Underwood of Georgia.
The Underwoodites are anticipating possible
defeat by setting up a protest against the calling
of the conference when a considerable number
of their faction is out of bounds and can not
be brought back in time to vote. THfy charge
Hitchcock with bad faith in this. Ik the ques
tion were to be settled by seniority, the Ne
braska democrat would get it as he got the
chairmanship of. the senate's foreign relations
committee when William Joel Stone died. Were
the matter left to the White House for decision,
the mantle of the late Thomas Staples Martin
would settle about the shoulders of the ac
credited author of what Mr. Wilson has de
nominated the best tariff law the United States
ever had. Republicans will not worry a great
deal over the point, as the decision is not likely
to seriously affect the course of legislation or
mark an epoch in history. It is of some inter
est to note, though, how harmonious the breth
ren on the other side of the fence are become.
When the Dry Movement
Hit New York
Another High Cost" Inquiry.
The attorney general of the United States is
going to start another inquiry into the high
cost of living, this time clothing to be the sub
ject of inquiry. Perhaps in good time some
thing may come out of all this investigation,
just as we expect that . eventually the law of
supply and demand will bring a better adjust
ment Up to now the inquiries set on foot by
Mr. Palmer have been of no more service or
avail than' were those of his predecessor. In
fact, each new step taken by the Department of
ustice to locate and head off profiteering has
been marked by another notch in the upward
climb of prices, and some of these notches are
quite a spread apart. Mr. Palmer may think
he can "kid the people along" all the time, but
most of them are getting: suspicious and want
to bt shown.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
New York City, on the evt of absolute and
complete prohibition and already in tht grip
of wartime prohibition which tht supreme court
of the United States sayt may not be lifted, it
nevertheless the greatest repository of distilled
spirits in the world at the present time, accord
ing to estimates by Brooklyn liquor dealers.
"It dazes me even to conjecturt tht vast
amount of whiskv in bond in New York now."
said Bernard J. Feely, president of (the United
Liquor Dealers' association of Kings county.
I know that every bonded warehouse in Man
hattan is filled to capacity and that space has
been at a oremium for a lone time. New York
City is dry enough but potentially it is the wet
test spot on the globe.
"Unless something is done to relieve the
situation the whole country, and particularly
New York, will feel the effect of the resultant
financial upheavel. It is impossible to simply
annhiliate hundreds of millions of dollars worth
ot property, the ownership of which is distrib
uted all over the country and not cause trouble.
f we are hopeful, faintly hopetul, that is,
mat rresident wnson yet win exert nit pre
rogative and end. the wartime- prohibition act
by a proclamation of peace. , That seems to be
our one chance."
The murk of gloom created by the action of
the supreme court did not hang long over the
liquor dealers alone today. Wall street, widely
scattered banks and financial interests generally
evinced'a desperate interest born of immense
loans made on bonded liquors loans which will
be altogether unprotected by convertible col
lateral unless sale of the liquor stocks is al
lowed. A group of prominent Walt street op
erators and New York bankers was said this
morning to be organizing to go to Washington
as a unit and seek to lift the ban for at least
two weeks prior to January 16, when the con
stitutional prohibition amendment becomes operative.
It has been estimated that the loss resultant
from the continued enforcement of the wartime
act will pass the billion dollar mark bv hun
dreds of millions, reaching a total so stktreerine
that it can be estimated vaguely. It is estimated
that the government's loss from taxes alone will
reach $600,000,000 and at least an equivalent loss
will be suffered by owners of hard drinks, light
wines and ' beer. . ,
The liqu6r dealers today were considerine
the institution of civil suits against the govern
ment to protect themselves from this loss if
the worst comes to the worst. One plan widely
discussed is to organize all of the dealers in
the country for a concerted action in the civil
courts along this line, on the ground that the
government has no right to condemn property
the legitimacy ot which it has recognized by
taxation. .
Dealers sav that the oossibilitv of disoosinc
of their stocks abroad. is very remote because
of the impossibility -of obtaining ship space for
export with so little time remaining. After the
prohibition amendment becomes . operative it
will be impossible to export. -Moreover there
is very little demand for American wniskv
abroad it appears.
Isaac Rosenfield. vice president - of the
Sunnybrook Distilling company of Louisville,
Ky., formerly one of the country s largest dis
tilleries, has just returned from abroad where a
study of the situation at first hand convinced
him that no market existed there for American
made whisky.
"We have 25,000 barrels of whisky, or about
1.250,000 gallons, in bond," said Mr. Rosenfield.
"The supreme court's decision apparently
means, in effect, that we have no alternative
to destroying this property. Either we must
destroy it or ship it out of the country by Janu
ary 16 and I have definitely established the fact
in my own mind that there, is little possibility
of selling American whisky abroad."
At the offices of the United Food Products
corporation, formerly the Distillers corporation,
one of the largest whisky concerns, it was said
today that the company's loss would be minor
as it had seen ahead and long ago began the
conversion ot its plants and resources to the
manufacture of food products and now had only
a relatively small stock of hard liquor on hand.
Unionizing College Professors
There is more of novelty in the name of As
sociated Teachers' union than there is in the
fact that its purpose is to organize educators of
college and university rank along lines hardly
distinguishable from those long ."since found
necessary or essential to the protection and wel-
iare ot industrial workers. Already and for
many years jpast professional men of various
kinds, including the lawyers and the doctors.
have had their national, state and county asso
ciations, exercisincr over their memhers and over-
outsiders powers analogous to those of the labor!
too, the very human jtendency to abuse powers
as well as to use them.
The professors carefully explain that their
union will never strike in sympathy with other
unions. Whether or not that is a superiority or
an inferiority, in comparison with the unions
that (to indulge in sympathetic strikes, depends
upon the point of view, but it at least indicates
that these more highly placed teachers are not
as "class conscious" as are the members of or
dinary unions in other words, that they do not
identify themselves fully, as yet, with "labor."
The failure or refusal to do this will be a
source both of weakness and of strength
weaicness in times ot war between themselves
as'"la,bor" and those who pay; their salaries,
and strength when the relation is peaceful. At
any rate, the repudiation of this effective
weapon indicates that the professors are wise
enough, or cautious enough, not to invite the
kind of criticism that would be hardest to meet,
as they would do if they announced the inten
tion to take part in conflicts ,not their own or
to seek aid in attaining their ends from beyond
their own numbers. New York Times.

Where Do We Stand? ..
York, Neb., Deo. 17. To the Hdl
tor of The Bet: la It not time to wt
knew where we etand In thla coun
try, whether It Is a constitutional
republlo or an old medieval auto
cracy T MP. Wilson hat given am
pit groundi for raiting this ques
tion.
When aomt of hta oartr leaden
' did not want to be rubber-stamped
posed, he said that those who would
not work on the team ought to get
off the team. Then on Ootober SI,
191S, he asked the country to give
him a wax-nosed congress bo he
could pull, bend or twist It In any
snapt or direction ne eared to turn
it, but the voters were not up to the
Wilson ' date on this being a one
man country, to they turned him
down In very neat fashion. Here it
what made them do ft:
After asking the people to give
him such a congress he tells them
why he wanted It He said "that he
might be the sole and unhampered
spokes man for thla country." We
heard somewhere that "he kept us
out of war," and later he eaid "he
realized what it meant when he led
this great nation into war." But
some of us yet have an old book
that says "congress has power to de
flare war," etc., and then in the Ar
ticles of Confederation ot the states
we read this:
"The United States in congress as
sembled, shall also have the sole and
exclusive rlgh't and power of de
termining on peace and war." And
the U. S. constitution, article 2,
reads like this (or used to) speaking
of the president and his power in
relation to war and the making of
treaties:
He shall have power by and with
the advice and consent or tne sen
ate to make treaties, provided two-
thirds of the senators consent."
Now listen to him when he says
it must be ratified as written with
out the dotting of an i or the" cross
in of a t. After he had surrend
ered his fourteen points on which
he got the armistice signed as the
basis on which the settlement was
to be made, then he accepted the
Shantung steal. He says it was not
right and that he protested against
it, but became a party in and to it
In order to get Japan into his League
of Nation. So there he could give
and take, barter and trade his four
teen Dolnts. his conviction of right,
for China in order to bring home
an English insurance policy for the
United States to underwrite the con
tinuity of the British empire, which
is the very heart of his covenant.
Then he says to those whose power,
duty and responsibility Is equal to
his own, now you take that as It Is
and don't you change it In the least
or I won't accept it, and then I will
blame its failure on you and all the
other troubles I will lay on the re
action of the treaty. .
Now get this: At Cheyenne in his
speech he said this: "We had Just
as well know where we stand, that
the making of treaties in this coun
try rests with the executive and I
shall reserve the right. to say when
the senate has acted whether it has
ratified or rejected the treaty."
Now after the senate has done
what Its best judgment has dictated
was best to do to safeguard this
country, he refuses to recall the
treaty back to be acted on, and
says he has no changes in mind,
hut he shifts the responsibility onto
the senate.
Now that Just leaves one big plain
duty for congress to do, that Is, pass
without delay a resolution declar
lne the war ended and if Mr. Wilson
wants to- sit in the corner and pout.
that is his privilege, but about rour
teen points of thirty days each and
he will have plenty of time to re
flect on his action. In the mean
time -an echo from the Chevenne
speech ought to be heard In Wash
ington, saying "It is time we knew
where we stand In this country,
whether there is byf one df us or
wnetner tnere are omers. i
