Jobless Man and the Manless lob

Secretary of Labor Wilson, in his
report on December 10, discussed the
bringing together of the jobless men
and the manless job. He declared the
cause of labor disputes to be excess
in the supply of labor over demand"
The Jobless man." he said, puts all
wage workers at a disadvantage in
bargaining with employers" IF there
were a profitable manless job for
every jobless man the complete rem
edy for industrial disputes would be
to bring the two together" So com
plete acorre spondence may not exist,
but it certainly exists in some degree.
The Department had found manless
jobs for the jobless victims of the
Salem fire. He said further:
OF course, the labor problem cannot
be solved by ameliorative plans such
as are here proposed unless the causes
of involuntary unemployment are un-
believeably superficial and vulnerable;
but with seasonal variations of en-
ployment nationally adjusted with ac-
cidental disturbances to employment
nationally provided for, with individu-
al delinquencies in respect of employ
ment better understood by national
public opinion, and with such ameli-
orations of industrial distress as this
department is now preparing to offer,
a right beginning will have been made.
This work will at least clear the way
for dealing effectively with the deep
rooted and more stubborn and general
causes of involuntary unemployment
which thoughtful observers of modern
industrial conditions seem to recog-
nize in one form or another.
He believed that the coal and cop
per strikes would not have taken STAGE
had the owners been personally on
the ground and dealt with the strike
situation at its inception. While the
workman may have some responsible
ity for what has happened THE local
management can not be wholly ac-
quilted" and ultimate responsibility
must rest upon the owners" The
work done in the way of meditation
and Cancellation, the Secretary con
sidered the most important accom-
plishment Of his department.

Bread is Mightier than Cannon.


Those inediaeval-minded persons
who think the only way to maintain
peace is for every man to carry arms,
and every country to rurround itself
with forts and ships of war, might
well ponder the words of the Burgo-
master of Louvain, Alfred Nerinex.
Speaking of Americas aid to his
stricken countrymen, he said:
We cannot buy food, even if we
have the money. when the doors are
closed to importers. Feed us now,
and we will pay you back in industry
when the war is over We are paying
back now in gratitude for the lives
America has saved, gratitude which
will endure as proof that human affec-
ton is stronger than any treaty al
lance. The most powerful army in
the world cannot Teutonize Belgium,
but America, armed with bread, is
Anericanizing Belgium.

An elderly Irish lady who kept a
fruit stand in Dublin, was display
ing few watermelons. A smart Yam
kee, picked up one, said These are
tarnation small apples you grow over
here. In America we have them twice
that size. The woman surveyed the
Yankee from head to foot for a second
or two, then in tone of pity exclaim-
ed: BE CORA, sir, we must be a
stranger in Direland, and know very
little av oul counthry whin we can't
tell apples from gooseberries. FIX.

MANS RIGHT TO WORK.

By Edwin Markham.
Out on the road they have gathered,
hundred thousand men,
To ask for hold on life as sure as
the VOLTS hold on the den.
Their need lies close to the quick OF
life as the earth lies close to
the stone;
1t is as meat to the slender rib, as
marrow to the bone
They ask but leave to labor, to toll
in the endless night,
For little salt to SAVIOR their bread,
for house water-tight.
They ask but the right to labor, and
live by the strength of their
hands
They who have bodies like knotted
oaks, and patience like sea-
sands.
And the right of man TO labor and
his right to labor in joy
Not all your laws can strangle that
right, nor the gates of He'll
destroy.
For it come with the making of the
man and was kneaded into his
bones,
And it will stand at the last of things
on the dust of crumbled
thrones.

mo Red Tape in Getting the
Money" was the significant heading
appearing over an article in the Joplin
(Mo.) News-Herald, when the widow
of Ira B. Malin received the mortuary
benefit of $500 from the International
Typographical Union four days after
his demise. Many Joplin business
men and others commented favorably
on the promptness of the union in
paying his death benefits and praised
the business efficiency of the organiza-
tion.

CONSIDER UNEMPLOYMENT.

New York.-Among the plans to be
considered by the United States in
dustrial relations commission, accord
ing to Chairman Walsh, SIS a scheme
of social insurance, administered by
state and federal governments, to meet
the problem created by unemploy-
ment, occupational diseases and other
evils incidental to our industrial or
ganization.

AS the brutal war continues we can
not help but think as every day passes
of that wonderful resolution on war
introduced into the A. F. of L. con-
vention some years ago. The resolu-
ton read something after this manner
Whereas, war is He'll, therefore be il
resolved. that those responsible for
war should go to Hell. 1t was APP
plicable then, it is more so now. II
sums up in these few words all that
one could say in lifetime concern
ing this useless slaughter by those in
power.

Mrs. Joseph FEELS says; Single tax
in Europe would have made the pres
ent war impossible" Mrs. FEELS is the
widow of Mr. Joseph Fels, the mil
lionaire single tax reformer, who died
last year. THE landed classes control
the government and use their owner
ship of land to exploit the poorer
populations. A fight for territory is
simply fight between two aristocrac-
les for the privilege of enslaving the
people of the territory in question"

charity's Confession of Failure.

Confidence in charity and in charit-
able organizations as the best instru-
ments to deal with poverty has long
impeded progress toward economic
justice, Conditions existing at present
ought to give such confidence a severe
jolt Charity representatives are con-
Tossing failure of their Scientific"
charitable measures to provide proper
ly for even the worthy poor. So con-
sentative paper as the New York
Evening Post published on December
%, in a prominent place, some admis-
sions of charity representatives. These
admissions show the impossibility of
providing jobs for all applicants.
There are at least 10000 unemployed
in New York City, of whom at least
So per cent are employable. One re-
preventative goes so far as to say: 4
think that every man or organization
who can invent a job should do So"
This charitable man must be the same
who thought his view of forest was
blocked by the trees. He sees all
about him men in want of nearly
everything that human labor can pro-
duce. He knows that these men are
able and willing to produce these
things. He knows, or can easily learn
by investigating, that there are on
hand natural resources from which all
the material they need car be produc-
ed. And yet he helplessly pleads that
some one should invent job" The
needs of mankind and the resources of
nature provide all the jobs there are.
Until every human want is satisfied
there remains job untitled. The diff
hculty is that monopoly OF natural re-
sources blocks the way to most of
these jobs. This obstacle cannot be
removed by charity or Scientific"
methods of charitable organizations.
Has it ever occurred to the charit-
able organizations of New York and
OF other cities to take census of the
unused or partially used lands within
or near the city and to figure how
many unemployed could get jobs were
thesse lands put to the use to which |
their value shows they should be put? !

When Ortie McManigal, self con-
fessed dynamiter, was released from
the County jail in November, 1913, he
was given $2,000-whos money-by
John d. Fredericks, district attorney
However, since the one favored is a
confessed dynamiter and informer in
the pay of big business and the
prosecuting attorney is one of the
tools of big business" its all right.

A labor bureau conducted by the
government At last this has come
to pass. and the old method of an
unfortunate man expanding his last
penny for a job will be thrown into
the discard. In the matter of legisla-
ton remedial to the working people
of the nation we believe this move
ment by the government is the best
thing ever undertaken and is certainly
bound to result in much that is good.
The blood-suckingi employment agen-
cy-privately conducted as most of
them are-has been a wart on society
and with the realization OF this long,
looked-for plan of the government
they will soon be thing Of the past.

WEEKLY KANSAS CITY
 STOCK MARKET REPORT

Kansas City Stock Yards, August 16, 1915-Cattle made some advances last week after Monday, and closed the week strong, with packer buyers in the sadie early on the closing days. Today cattle receipts here total 16,- 900 head, and sales were steady to 10 lower, but still slightly above week ago, on beef grades. Stockers and feeders have declined 25 to 50 cents in the last week, largely due to foot and mouth scare incident to recent discovery of isolated cases around Chi cago. It is not figured that this ad- verse influence will last, for corn crop prospects all over the corn states are improving daily, and in most of the states east of the Mississippi river stockmen are very low on cattle, ha '- ing bought very few in the last year, while they have shipped to market constantly. Stock grades of cattle have been selling very high here, but young cattle are also lower today. But the whole country east of the Noun tains is full of feed ot a!l kinds, and stOckmen are bound to want p.' t'e. Feeders sold at S6.75 to $790 today, stock grades $625 to $7.50, grass beef steers $7.50 to $500. Breeding heifers are selling higher in proportion than anything else on the cattle list, a four car drove of yearlng heifers bringing $7.60 today, 590 lbs. average. Chicago and Omaha had big runs of sheep and lambs today, and report sharply lowe" prices. Receipts here were 5400 head, which included about 2000 goats, a very light Monday run, but lambs sold 15 cents lower here, account of hreaHs elsewhere. Two loads of choice Utah lambs, 69 lbs. average, sold at $S 45 today. Breeding ewes sold at $6.25 to $6.75, black face ewes worth S7, feeding lambs S8, a load of medium Utah feeding wethers and yearlings S7 lbs. average, at S6.40, six loads Arizona spring lambs $S.15, and some heavy pelted Arizona ewes to killers at $5.60.

Screw Worms Affect Cattle
Market Corresponden

Screw worms have caused an enor- nous loss to stockmen in the South west. All farm animals are effected by them and stockmen must ever be on the alert to reduce the loss to a minimum, says Dr. R. H. Williams, Animal Husbandman of the U. of A. Agricultural Experiment Station.
 It is especially difficult to give ami mals on the open range the attention they should have. On this account stockmen have made practice of treating everything they see whether it belongs to them or not. They fur ther make special effort to have ar enclosed pasture where ainmals may be held conveniently and treated from time to time.
