The Pittsburg Post comments
sensibly upon the result of the Nc
Namara case in the following:
Organized labor ought to vel
come the suggestion that the time
has come for it to clean house" and
relieve itself of the undesiraolea
who have cast a stigma upon it.
Ione OF the most pS.tent influences
leading to class prejudices and the
eniendering OF bitterness mas been
the presence of che blatant agita-
tors who, by reason of the softness
and ease with which they have
been enabled to feast on the earn
.fnEs of honest toll, have escaped any
necessity for work themselves.
When men like the McNamaras
have been enabled to draw a >thous-
and dollars a month without an &C
counting, It is time for the honest
men to call halt.
A large percentage Of the dis
putes in which organized labor has
been drawn can be easily traced to
the non-producing disturbers who
have chung to the various unions

IRON whom they wrung their sus-
Itenance and at all times inhicting a

to represent. surely it is time Tor
organized labor to make use OF the
scrubb!ng brush and the broom and
relieve itself of the burden of mis-
representation, scandal and crime
II this be done, its future Will be-
come more reseate and its usefulness
enhanced. There IS no logic that
can array caplta1 and labor as deadly
enemies, for one is necessary TO the

Christmas giving is the. chief con-
Germ of the populace at present and
lie g. right in place to admonish
every one to give wisely while
Eabout It. so matter what the cost
or living, the Detroit News says this
feature should not interfere with
the generous spirit OF the Yuletide.
whether that spirit derives It's in-
spiratton from the pagan Saxon ira
ditfons. from the St Nicholas Of the
Tautonic godhead. from the winter
solstice devotions of the oriental
races, or from the adapted Christ
mas celebrations.
The spirit Is real one, and one
can already feel its tiny thrills OF
expectation in the veins. That Il
costs dear to live should sharpen the
rest of giving among those who can
afIord 1t, and should enhance the
pleasures of receiving among those
who must play this role in the
great folk drama of the winter
solstice. The News finds the way
out as follows:
Let us rather. on this account,
see to it that there is no waste in
our giving. Give wise and econom-
icaIly. This does not stint our CIV
ing. But instead of buying a lot OF
useless and unbeaut'ful trash, the
buying should be In things of real

of scissors can be intrinslcally beauti-
full, when shaped well for IT'S pur-
pose.
