We wnaild advise these people who are
guilty to quit or they will find the

and Morrison contempt case will
receive another hearing in Wash

A third case that has attracted
very little attention. but involves
vital principle to organized Ia
Dor, will be heard by the Illinois
court.
The question is whether union
shop is legal or Illegal.
The Chicago Railways company
had contract with the Street
Railway union to hire only MEM
bers of the union. To break its
contract, the company is said to
have forced several plant tools to
seeede from the union.
Their discharge was demanded,
and they applied for an injunction
to prohibit their dismissal. The
lower court refused to issue the
order, but the appellate court re-
versed the lower court and order
ed that the injunction be issued.
The unionists appealed to the
supreme court, which body several
years ago decided that the social
ed closed shop is illegal. II that
decision is reaffirmed it will raise
havoc in a good many organiza-
lions.

FAIR PLAY
BY BERTO N BAILEY.

Now this is the rule of the game,
rule that the player nuts learn,
The deal that you GIVE is the same
AS you'll probably GET in return;
So, If you have given out hate
And hates what you get while you live,
Don't grumbe and rail at your fate
Be ready to take what you give.
If you've trampled the weaker down.
Be game when you're trampled yourself,
If you've flouted the poor with a frown
When you were just rolling in pef,
Don't clamor for help when your gold
Has drained like a drink through sieve
Remember these words you told
BE ready to take what you give!
If for somebody's ruin you plot,
And the plot is the ruin of YOU,
II you've handed out words sizzling hot
And for each that you give you get two,
Don't swear that the world is amiss,

MORE THAN 100000
MEN CAN'T GET WORK

In the DitumfnouS coal districts
there has been much suffering
owing to lack of employment.
Speaking at Jacksonville, o., a
few days ago, President John p.
White of the United Mine Work
ers. declared that more than one
half of the 100000 miners in the
country are in enforced idleness.
Officials of the Colorado min
ers have announced that the next
demand to be formulated by the
unionists in that state will be for
the adoption of the six-hour- day.

could be steadily employed by
working only four hours a day"
and hopes that the. scheme will
be given serious consideration in
