BY Jane Whitaker.

labor does anything to capital, even
if it is merely to stick out its tongue
or harangue on the street corner,
which is just as futile, how quickly
the newspapers carry scare lines of
the outrage?
When the mourning" squad pick
eted the New York offices of the oc-
! topus headed by John D. Rockefel-
Ter, the richest man in the United
States, and the man whose name is
synonymous with golf and the muir
der of women and children in Color
ado, the front pages of all the papers
shrieked their tidings of this impu-
dence.
When labor and it's friends went to
Tarrytown to try and dig Rockefeller
out of his hiding place and tell him
what they thought of him, again
there were scareheads on the front
page, and when the "agitators" we're
locked up the scareheads were en-
phasized with photographs of the i'm
pudent.
When four men were killed by
bomb explosion in a tenement in
New York city the newspapers imme-
diately gave God the credit of being
the Nemesis, for they intimated that
the men lost their lives while prepar-
ing a bomb to use on the same "rich-
est man in the United States"
though, as a matter of fact, the real
secret of that bomb murder is not
known.
And, of course, all this is as it
should be. 1t is sheer impudence for
labor to do other than cringe in the
presence of capital.
When capital, however, unites to
suppress labor, regardless of how
low, how vile may be it's tactics, moth
ing is said about them. That sort of
thing isn't news" you know.
Right here in Chicago, Illinois, the
city that still remembers with elation
that women have the right to vote,

KNAB TRICKS TO DEFEAT LABOR ARE NOT
MENTIONED IN NEWSPAPERS

lcIDOl It's lOOl, IAlldD, IAC
taurant man, that can scarcely be
equaled, but the issue is a silent one.
Before Knab hired Dudley Taylor,
lawyer for the Employers Associa-
ton, he appealed to the courts to
throw their weight with the capital
lists against labor and stop the silent
picketing of the girls whose places
he had filed with strikebreakers
when he decided to help the Restau-
rant Keepers Association by fight
ing organized mattresses.
The courts, however, vacillated.
Some judges listened to the plea Of
capital and issued far-reaching in
functions. Other judges realizing
that such injunctions were against
the ruling of the supreme court de-
MED the appeals of capital.
And thus the situation stood when
Taylor entered. This is not Taylor's
first fight in the interest of capital
against labor. He might be said to
be skilled in that sort of fighting.
; And thereupon the situation de-
veloped. Girls who were strikebreak-
ers we're placed on the streets to hui
initiate the union pickets, and each
day added to their intolerable insults.
The first day they carried placards,
the next day balloons, the next day
toy nannygoats.
They walked on the heels of the
girls whose jobs they had taken, they
pushed their shoulders, they squeak
ed the toys in their ears.
This would have merely amused
the public, though 1 know that it
helped disgust them, but Knab went
further. He put notices in his win
dow calculated to draw crowds about
the street.
Then the police stepped in to help
capital. The first day OF so they kept
the crowds moving. Then they be-
gan to make arrests of the pickets,
mostly the union pickets, but they did
take in a few of the strikebreakers.

Mrs. John X. Ottley's idea is this:
1T seems to me that the munich
pality is losing something in not Sc
lecting representatives from one-half
of its intelligent citizenry to help in
the administration of it's affairs"
And that was why Mrs. Ottley at
the last meeting of the Atlanta Fed
Grafton of Womens Clubs, offered a
resolution recommending to the City
Council the appointment of a minor
ty of women members to certain mu-
nicipal boards and committees.
Please do not associate with this
position any idea OF sudden and
sweeping reforms. or, especially, any
so-called crusade" Mrs. Ottley re-
quested while explaining her ideas of
the helpfulness of women in civic ad-
ministration.
No Entering Wedge" for Suffrage.
This is no entering wedge to-
ward votes for women. either There
is no politics in our attitude Here ii
is very simply expressed: We con-
slider that women, as a rule, have
more leisure than men, who are al
most invariably well occupied in
earning a living There are certain
departments of city work where time
must be spent in order to achieve any
thing worth while-time and lot of
patience and attention to detail
These boards and committees are
particularly eNacting in that respect
schools, parks and Fairgrounds, Ii
braries, health and sanitation. hospi-

could be of real service TO the city on
each of these boards and committees

zling problems of childhood; libraries.
with their appeal to art and litera-

most possible for the money. will be
great advantage in civic administra-
ton.
No Crusade Planned.

ity of women to confer with the
boards and committees as actual
members, with voice in their Coun-
sells, and take perhaps more than
their share of the detail work, and the
investigation. and the duties that re-
Guire patience and time, as well as
intelligence.
IT think we can help the men, and,
more than that. think we can help
