"C Vl'TlOX"—SOMETIMES
When it comes to rapidity of
change of policies, the Wilson ad
ministration h~s no peer. For in
stance: There lias been for many
months an agitation for a standard
of quality ox" gasoline© eo that the
uurchaser would be protected. from
tae dealer who adulterates his
and so that the honest deal
er Nould not be compelled to meet
d.#liones» competition. After much
dt-lay the Department of Commerce
save consideration »o the subject
and has issued a statement in whlcM
it says:
"The wutlic should not expect
hasty action. It is extremely im
portant that we proceed with the
greatest caution and in the light
of fao fullest technical information.
There is only one pay, or at most
a very few Ways of doing the right
'liing, while there are an infinite
number ways o' deling the wrong
thing."
And yet, when 20 per cent of the
railway employes d-emanded an in
crease in wages without regard to
tiie merits of the other SO l>er
cen*. the administration did not in
sist upon "the fullest technical in
formation" cr any other k?nd of
information. There was no sugges
tion of the importance of proceed
ing "with the greatest caution."
There was no mention of the fact
tlia* there is only one way to do
the right thing. The only thing
fh.< Wilson administration could
th Jn see was an organized body of
^ttr;: whom it desired to please
. n the eve of election, jvithi entire
d. regard cf the rights of the oth
er SO per cent of the railroad em
ployes and of the travelers and
s' :i'! -.rs who must eventually pay
til* increase in wages whichi the
:.-t :• :ion ordered the Tadlroads
tj grant.
"Caution. ' ''full information,

Hi Gill On Prohibition
i : ? • f
A mass meeting was recently! held
in. Seattle at whicb Governor Lis
ter, "HJ" Gill, and others spoke
oa the liquor question. "All tlie
speagers praised the law and apOike
of tne beneficial effects of its
ooeratSjon. The governor plainly da
uQcnced those opposed to the en
forcfment of the law and related
incidents to show that in the small
er ♦owns prohibition ha<j been of
large benefit.
"Mayor Gill declared that before
r
he turned to the support of the
dry laws his office U6ed t® be the
haven tor all those who suffered
from whiskey. "I no longer hare
wcmen coming to me/' said he.
"complaining that their drunken
husbands abuse them; I iyo longer
have mothers coming to begging be
cause the fathers had Bpent all thaW
earnings in drink; the police judge|
has little to doi because there are
few cases to try. There axe ar
rests for drunkenness) because men
are illegally selling whiskey, AND
WE ARE ARRESTING 1 ALL WE
FIND; WHEREAS UNDER THE
OLD REGIME WE DID NOT AR
REST FOR DRUNKENNESS." The
mayor severely denounce ed. two
papers. The Washington] Free Pre#
and The Argus.
. "Jamep V. Duncan, for the labor
classes declared that they are
with the officers! and the people in
the enforcement of the prohibit/Son
law. He declared that during the
campaign for this law, it was) re
presented to them that the labor or
ganizations would go to the dog®
pwler the prohibitory law. "Since
Uie prohibition law| ha® gone into
effect," he said, "our garment
workers report *hat business is
increasing, carpenters reiport More
work, the longshoremen, in, spite
of the hard thiMgs said about them,
report that their men are more
self-respecting. Maybe all this is
no* due to the prohibition, law, but
I want to emphatically say that the>
labor movement has not gone to thq
dogs through! the operation of pro
hibition."—Exchange.
