The time has gone when despotic
employers can Systematically persecute

industrial morality in the community
will not tolerate it. So. likewise, the
coercion of unions will not be tolerated.
So long as they live on coercion they
will have to fight for their lives. Until
they rise entirely above the spirit OF
persecution, they can not, and ought
not, TO receive the recognition OF en-
Flowers or the confidence and support

cation and experience, The standard
OF economic fairness in unions will be

heated defeats. Until this is accom-

LIMIT THE SPEED or THE AUTOS.

An eastern magazine IS authority for
the statement that 1,50o automobiles
are being manufactured III this country
every month More than that number
are being sold, as the factories are
swamped with advance orders ana
many foreign made machines ere be
ing imported New factories are start
ing and companies are being organized
daily in addition. The authority re-
ferred to estimates the number OF SELL
motors that will be in actual use IN
this country within tive years at not
less than 100000.
Two hundred thousand machines IN
service means half million people
riding in automobiles. 1t means that
the machines will be common along our
country roads and commoner on the
streets of the smaller cities. If the ra-
Ito of increase should, as 1t doubtless
Viii. continue for an aaied two years
the auto will have become almost as
cen,nncn as the bicycle.
1t is up TO the lawmakers to say
whether the self-motors shall become
a nuisance and a menace or convent
ant vehicle for business and pleasure
driving. Even now the recklessness OF
,ha auto drivers has propagated preju-
diee among the people and awakened
the newspapers. which are the mouth
pieces of public opinion. to serious pro-
fest. The average automobiles seems
- he careless of the rights of others,
anxious to travel at high speed and
prone to speed away as rapidly as pos
sble from the consequences OF his care
lessness. The scorcher appears to be as
common among the motor drivers as
among the bicyclists, but the weight
and mower of his machine driven at a
high speed makes him infinitely more
dangerous to pedestrians than the
searching bicyclist has been or can be-
AS the number of autos increase this
danger and annoyance Is sure TO
grow in proportion lacking plain le-
gal definition of the rights of autos up
no the streets and highways and rigid
enforcement of the restrictions placed
upon vehicles of this kind.
Restriction should be placed upon the
machine as we'll as the driver. There
| Is no occasion for motor capable of
twenty five miles an hour. Such speed
/ is dangerous and absolutely certain to
result in accident No machine capa-
HE of being driven more than sixteen
miles an hour should be permitted to
operate on city streets and country
roads. With reserve OF high speed
the temptation to let out another link
along bit of excellent roadway seems
Irresistible. Sixteen miles is certainly
fast enough for business purposes, the
pace swift enough to be pleasing TO any
but a scorcher, and the scorcher is a
menace and nuisance. The highways
and streets belong primarily to the or
binary public, which needs protection
against the high power automobile, and
should have 1t, and the hest and surest
point to begin upon is at the factory.

"In order thoroughly to unionize In

that the interests of the laborer shall
