President Wilson'S view of the
clause is that it eXempts labor and
the ether organizations from pro
secUtion because of the sole fact of
organ lat -combination-but does
not prevent their prosecution, or that
of any individual member, for any H.
legal, unlawful act Of combination or
conspiracy in restraint of trade.
Those who doubt the efficacy of
the legislation point out that the
courts have never declared that mere
reorganization" is prohibited by the
Sherman law and that therefore, the
exemption" clause adds nothing to
the law and does not, in fact, exempt
anybody or anything.
Agreements, such as "closed shop"
working arrangements, between labor
unions and big employers will still
be prohibited and subject participants
to a Sherman law suit, it is contend
ed by many.

COURTS MUST PASS
ON PROPOSED LAW
American Federation Officials;
and the President Have
Accepted 1t.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Does the
debated labor exemption" clause in
the administration antitrust bills
now before the Senate really exempt
labor unions from Sherman law pro
secution?
This is a mooted question at Labor
Headquarters, the Capital and White
House today, standing reams
Of arguments on the subject clogging
official records.
President Gompers and officials Of
the American Federation OF Labor
who have been leading the fight for
incorporation of the exemption clause
are satisfied with the phraseology
now In the bill as passed by the
house and senate leaders accept 1t
as O. K.
But the actual operation of the
clause IS still problematica.l High
legal authorities in congress-Where
legal "sharps" predominate-insist
that only test Of the clause in the
courts will decide whether labor re-
ceives or is denied any preVllegeS
under the new proposed law.
The wording Of the disputed sec
ton is as follows:
provided, that nothing contained
in the antitrust laws shall be con-
etructed to forbid the existence and
operation Of fraternal labor consumers

Summer Work for the Pastor.

I'VE have strong suspicion that the most
acceptable calling that the average minister can
do In summer will be somewhere about his own
home-on the front porch, in the back yard. or
maybe in his study"
No, gentle reader, this is no knock on the
church by an iconoclast with a hammer, but
quite the contrary, 1t is seriously offered as ad-
vice by one of the principal church papers in the
country. 1--WE quite expect to receive letters in
protest to this observation" 1t goes on to say,
explaining how effective someone's pastoral
calls have been in hot weather, but we are stub
born enough to think they present exceptions
In most cases as the minister comes up the walk
or is seen through an upstairs window as he
climbs the outer steps, there will be exclamations
which would be disturbing II he heard them"
The suggestion offered, and which seems a
highly common-sense one. is that the minister
should make his plans conform with the seasons
Just as does the business man and the profess
sional man. The idea is that summer work and
winter work and spring work and fall work can
aud should be differentiated with advantage to
all concerned in the church as we'll as out of it.
Much steam. but little headway, may be expected
from overdriving the religious chariot in the hot
spell, while conserved effort may meet with bet
ter success under more favorable conditions. I'm
questionably, system and adaptation to circum-
stances will do as much for pastor as It does
for his parishloners.

The Russian Jew.

II II were possible to divest the history of
the Russian Jew Of the awful tragedy sur
rounding It, the cars appeal to MY beloved
Jews" might be viewed as merely a flash Of hu-
NOR against the dark canopy OF European war.
Russia, and particularly the house Of homanoff,
and urges them to take up arms for their coun-
try. adding that Jewish and Russian interests
are identical.
The duplicity OF the czar's professions is al
most too transparent. II reminds the student
OF history OF the answer young Charles XII OF
Sweden made when his chief advisers urged him
to accept Gear Peters overtures OF peace HE
does not mean what he says" The intrepid
and youthful Swedish warrior-king knew from
experience. And the Jews OF today know from
experience, which accounts for the supplement
tary note that they ARE somewhat backward in
responding"
Russia's persistent persecution Of the Jew is
one Of the defenseless outrages Of the age It
sets medieval night down in the very noon-day
OF the twentieth century. 1t combines intoler-
ance and barbarism in a way shocking to mod
ern civilization. 1t has made Russia the out
law OF the nations. What tTavesty to say
that the Jew owes Russia anything with the
echoes of the Bells trial still in our ears. The
Russian Jew has known neither civil nor relig-
ious liberty under the relentless house OF Ro-
manoff, but, on the other hand by characteristic
thrift and frugallty, he has contributed vastly
to its enrichment and power. The Jew who
fights for Russia will be inspired by a sense OF
patriotism to his country, not of gratitude to
its rulers.

The Liege Poem.

Ahead of all others Englandis poet laureate
has set to the music of verse the valor Of Bel
gium. William Watson has given us the poem en-
name rhyme with siege" 1t is remitdful OF the
part martial airs and epic poetry have played in
the drama of world wars. There is an irristible
appeal in their lines to the national fire that
glows in a patriots breast, although we may
hope that. stirring are the words OF this little
poem, they will not augment the already over
powering hordes now spreading desolatlon over
the little battie-beaten kingdom of Belgium
And the poem runs:
Betwixt the foe and France was she
France the immortal. France the Free;
The foe like one vast living sea
Drew nigh.
He dreamed that none his tide would stay
But when he bade her TO make way
She through her cannon, answered Nay,
Not l."
No tremor and no fear she showed;
She held the pass she barred the road
While deaths unslesping feet bestrode
The ground.
50 long as deeds OF nobest worth
Are sunE mid Joy and tears and mirth.
Her glory shall to the ends OF earth
Resound
Watched by world that yeArned to aid
Lonely she stood. but undismayed,
Rssplendent was the part she played
And pure
Praised be her heroes proud her sons;
She threw her soul into the guns,
Her name shall with the loveliest
Endure.

No Nation self.suffieing.

Despite proud boasts made In Wanting spirit
from time to time by nearly every civilized ma
tion that 1t is self-sufficing, the test quickly
furnishes conclusive disproof. The interlacing

fu intercourse has far-reaching effects entirely
unforeseen and unforeseeable.
While almost any nation can doubtless in
time readjust itself as to get along indie
pendently, the readjustment, II permanent.
would be q step backward in the scale Of
progress. In other words, there can be no such
thing as a civilization wholly unto itself. The
interchange Of the products of industry, Of ideas
and OF customs, and the interminglng OF differ
ent peoples is necessary TO produce the action
and reaction that lifts nations upward and on
ward. II any country on earth could be com
pletely self-sufficing It would be the United
States, yet we already perceive what the dis
turbance due TO this European war means for
us even at this safe and comfortable distance
from the scene OF hostilities.

Reynolds to fill the vacancy in the supreme
court created by the death of Associate Justice
Lurton the president himself is responsible for
the first break in his cabinet, which he had

McReynolds' appointment, together with
that Of Thomas Watt Gregory to be attorney
general, is In the form OF official promotion and
to that extent beyond criticism. II may be only
incidental that McReynolds and Lurton both
came from Tennessee. also that the new cabinet
member halls from Texas whence came origi-
naly both the secretary OF agriculture and the

perience in trust-busting, even more so than his

rapacious private enterprises led to other abuses
in the form OF demagogy and spoils. These in
turn operate TO check the very work that needs
most TO be done In the end we find ourselves
still victims OF political incompetenoy, where
we should have large-sized ststesmanship. So we
are just as much face to face now as ever with
the folly Of not putting into public business
the same degree Of efficiency that require for
our private affairs. More than ever politics has
become a game in which. not the ablest, but the
craftiest win, although sometimes the abest
men may also be the craftiest. The appeal to
prejudice by the self-seeker tends to make people
almost insist that the man asking their support
offer them some quack nostrum guaranteed to
cure all civil and political ills. Here comes a cry
from an element Of sober-minded folk for "busi-
ness men" In public affairs, but the average bus
iness man has small chance Of winning over the
average professional demagogue. 1t may be an
unpleasant picture to draw, but all too true to
facts.
