might! "We have the
s the acting Federa
tion chief ' tr tie up the country 's
railroads so that they will never
run again, ''to destroy xommerce
and industry, to condemn all
city populations to - famine, to
starve women and children by
tens of millions, hence, there
fore, the money must be forth
coming without parley! if the
President or Congress dares to
argue or investigate, Labor's
strike sword will leap from its
scabbard and red ruin will rule
the land. Such in substance is
Acting President Jewell's threat.
This is blood curdling-, but
it is preliminary only, and' mild
as mother's miJk by comparison
with full program that Labor's
might is to ram down the throat
of the' nation. So conscious are
the brotherhoods of their power,
so sure are they that all opposi
tion, will crumble before their
menace of destruction, that they
presu ne to lay down the. law to
the President and Congress that
private capital must be driven
out of the railroads, that " the
government -.must acquire full
ownership, saving its bonds in
payment that the properties
must be released to an operating
company ostensibly to be con
trolled equally by the govern

the ".workers but which in

profits as may arise from opera

SEARCH FOR. HOARDERS AND PROFITEERS,
Ml tees of People FeePinch of Extortion
aod Relief Must' Come. . ...
Washington, Aug; 10. Rapid
developments are "expected, in
the hunt for food "hoarders and
Ihe effort to restrain profiteers
and repress rising prices. While
it was unfortunate that.the labor
unions inaugurated their fight
for higher wages and nationalize
tion of the-railroads right at the
critical period iin the economic
upheaval, the unwise and inexpe
dient labor pronouncement tend
ed to eliminate partisan ship and
substitute a sort of class con.
sciousness. i Republicans and
Democrats alike commend the
spirit ' of the President's high
cost of living address, and they
are all agreeed that it has had a
stabilizing effect. They agree
that it is admirable and definite
guide directing immediate and
effective action, and the legisla
tive branch of the government
is keyed up for whatever'- con
structive work the situation may
require. ":
After a few hours of mature
deliberation those men who feel
the burden of the urgent require
ment seem to be close together
in thoir views as to what should
be done. They may differ in the
the details of the modes of . .pro
cedure, but they are "all seeking"
to secure immediate relief for
theflcountry and that is what
the people want, and with less,
than that they will not be satis
fied. - '
For the ti m e . bei ng - faotional .
antagonisms are being put aside
for the one absorbing thing. The
fjeace treaty has become a ques
tion of minor importance in comparison-with
thelsolution of the
living problem. The work
must be done at once, and it
must be done effectually." is the
universal sentiment as expres
sed by the citizen you' meet, the
-lawmaker you observe and the
executive who has started the
ball rolling.
Food hoarders in every part
of the country are being watched
by secret secret seryice agents
fwho have been . put on their
trail by the department of jus
tice, and it is intimated that t'.e
vast quantities of foodstuffs held
in secrecy may be uncovered in
many of the jcongested centers
where it is possible for such
things to be hidden and held for
a favorable time to market. The
profiteers of whatever class, -
whether retail dealers, whole
salers, mannfacturers or the
packers, will be made to toe the
line and answer for the crime
that they have committed against
the suffering people of the coun
try and against humanity the
pound of flesh which Ahey have
had the combined power to re
quire. ' ?
It is not one class, but all
classes of people, who are feel
ing the pinch of extortion. Wage
earners, salaried people, pro
fessional men and people of every
vocation or trade, every inter
gal part of our jsocjal fabric, all
are victims 'of- tKTs tragical ,op
pression and all cry out for re
