CIVIC Federation
COMMENDS LABOR
President Low Expresses Himself Re-
garding the High Ideals OF
Union Labor.

Before the convention Of the Civic
Federation in Washington Tuesday,
Seth Lowe. president Of that organiza-
ton, rebuked those members Of the Civic
Federation who found fault with the or
nanizations' sympathy for organized la
aor; and nc also found taul; with those
in the labor movement who sought to
preven, prominen; labor leaders from
afhlIstins with the Civic Federation.
Appealing for the Advancement of in
dustrial peace and industrial co-opera-
ton between employer and employe. he
culogized the labor union and defended
its right to struggle for recognition.
He indorsed heartily the American
Federation OF Labor and its methods,
and with equal spirit denounced the rad.
ioai labor leaders as seeking n social
revolution. not social evolution
My Judgment is that the pathway to
Industrial peace and Industrial ELI
ciency.' said MIR. Low, lis to be found n
the hearty cooperation of employers
with labor unions. in the confident ex-
pectation that when the right OF work
ingmen to collective bargaining passes
unchallenged in practice, the right OF
other workingmen to forego collective
bargaining. II they wish to do so. Will
be equally unchallanged."
Referring to the fact that Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, was vice-president
OF the Civic Federation, Mr.. Low said
that the organization had been criticised
by many employers because OF its ap-
parent close relationship with labor.
This criticism, he declared, had been
based largely on the alleged misdeeds OF
labor individuals or unions.
THE National Civic Federation is not
unaware of those mistakes and those
msdeeds on the part OF individuals and
some times of whole unions" he said
The federation, however. declines to
lay emphasis only on the mistakes and
msdeeds of organized labor. 1t prefers
to look above and beyond such incidents.
which. in a certain sense, are parts OF
all human struggle toward the inspiring
object of organized labor, which is to
Improve the condition of that vast body
of men and women and children who
toll with their hands for their daily
bread"
President Low dwelt at length on the
advantages created under the trade
agreement plan between employer and
employe. Bargaining between capital
and labor. he pointed out, had virtually
abolished serious industrial warfare.
MIR. Low applauded the philosophy of
the American Federation of Labor that
though the interests of labor and Of
capita were not identical, they were
usually reccncilable."
Mr.. Low. referring to the Mcnamara
case said IL had demonstrated to organ
lied labor that II in the future 1t wished
to command public sympathy and conf
dence. lit must be prompt to disown
all violence connected with the strug-
giles of labor"

Bob amt a plural, but that's stage
employees talk. Bob is with the "Pink
Lady, and that's why the stage en-
ployes say Bob cowan's in town. Now,
there isn't TO be any grammar used in
this statement. Facts are going to be
stated. not grammar. Bob has got the
original production of the pink Lady"
as produced at the Amsterdam theater.
That is, he has got the scenery, props,
electrical effects that stood in the Am
sterdam theater for eleven months and
was produced there. Bob may not have
the actors with him, and Bob don't care
that is. in a business way. All Bob
cares about is putting on hs production,
and he has got it. Now Bob is angry.
and don't blame him. He is taking
out the heaviest production in the scenic
line that has been sent out over the
western circuit for years. CThe original
production, mind you, in the mechanical
end.l And the critics comes out the
next day after Bob comes into town
| after filling the oue-night stands and
playing in what scenery he could get on
the stage. (You can always get all the
actors on any stase.) And say the pro
duction is equal to the New York pro
duction.
Poor old Bob Poor old critics, Bob

experience in repairing his stun (''stuff

after a long season in New York and
