men. The men, on the other hand,
have resumed work cheerfully, pend
ing further settlement and under

reason and common sense have

that the day of insolent refusal on
the part of corporation officials to
discuss with employees policies af-
fecting them, or to hear complaints,

too numerous signs that
'NO Com a certain type of pin

Criminals" ness the rampant asinin-
ity of John Kirby, Jr.
(quite Junior, perhaps), who was
recently elected as successor to Van
Cleave, retiring president Of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
Mr.. Kirby belches forth the follow
ing:
"Our organization is pledged to
face the labor question. It involves
a great principle which cannot be
fooled with, compromised with or
temporized with, if America is to re-
main America. The life of the Amer
lean Federation is hanging by
tant organized labor today if it were
~ ~ i
philanthropists and women's socie-
ties, who are constantly keeping up
the agitation. My policy will be that
of James w. Van Cleave. I do not
believe in compromise with crimi-
nails. 1t is better to bring the whole
labor question to a pointed issue in
stead of temporizing and fooling
with it. The only way to deal with
this animal is to take it by the horns
till it is made obedient."
Any time the redoubtable Junior
Kirby takes labor by the horns after
the fashion indicated, he will bump
his fat Uranium against about the
sort of public opinion just manifest
ed in Georgia. The bully is politely,
but firmly, going to be retired to the
extreme rear and given an unobtru-
sive seat. When honest labor is
broadly stigmatized as criminal it
is almost time that young Kirbys re-
ceive the illuminating benefit Of an
