learned Lucille had gone to the

Determined to seize even the
limited opportunity afforded, he
started for the Longman theater.
When he arrived there he found
he had but 20 minutes to locate
the young woman, make known
his love, and begin his voyage.
From the entrance he could see
her, sitting in one OF the lower
front boxes, apparently engrossed
in the play. To reach her without

place where he could attract her

It's Not Fair for the Goose

struggle Is In process on the great lakes
that is entitled to the attention of thoughtful
people in every part of the country. The Lake
Carriers association has declared for an open
shop" that is, it and its members decline to
deal with any labor organization, and insist that
they shall make their contracts for employment
entirely with each individual empoye.
Many years ago there were many vessels
upon the great lakes owned by single man or
group of men. The process OF absorption and
consolidation has progressed until individual
ownership has been almost obliterated. For in
stance. subsidiary corporation of the United
States Steel Corporation now owns great
fleet OF ore-carrying vessels. Several OF the
large railroads have their own fleets; other
combinations have been made. So that on the
part OF the vessel owners individual ownership
has been almost eliminated and each fleet rep
resents powerful organization. But the vessel
owners were not content with thus Strengthening
their side, but all these powerful separate or
CARNATIONS have been brought into one single
organization known the Lake Carriers
citation. This association now represents nearly
the whole vessel ownership on the great lakes.
Yet this Lake Carriers association and its
members refuse to recognize any organization
among their employees. Thus, while the vessel
owners have gone on consolidating and combin-
ing until they have perfected an all-powerful
organization. they will not permit their employees
even in separate groups (such as engineers, fire
men. etc.) to have any organization or union,
but insist that they will deal with each employe
separately
.Ae man who tolls for wages is inevitably
at great disadvantage. He rarely has much

must suffer for the necessities of life. On the
other hand. capital represents an accumulation
of that which is not necessary for present
existence 1t wait. Intrinsically, capital
needs organization much less than labor.
On the other hand. the Lake Carriers asso-
citation represents the maximum of organization
on the part of capital denying to the employee
who most needs organization, the right to
genize at ALL
Can anything more unfair be imagined
The term "open shop is a catching phrase
and deludes many. 1t really means that those
most entitled to organization denied it,
and those least needing organization are per-
mitted to carry it to the utmost extreme of
power.
IL the Sherman antitrust law were enforced
as vigorously against capitalistic organizations
it has been recently against labor organizations,
many capitalistic organization such as the Lake
Carriers association, would cease to exist.

1t is up to the management of the baseball

family of the players.
Baseball is manly and gentlemanly sport
and If it is to hold its high place in the estnia-

tendency to ''cuss'' at Athletic park Spokane

the players kept up continuous stream of oaths,

nature.
