SAYS AUSTRALIAN LAW
DENIES STRIKE RIGHTS

Adelaide, South Australia-The Daily
Herald makes sharp answer to the
statements of w. H. Phillips, retiring
president of the Employers Federation
of South Australia, who approves the
industrial arbitration act which empow-
ers courts to prohibit strikes, and con-
demns the preference to unionists" por-
ton of this law. The Labor party is
blamed for the latter section which Mr..
Phillips declares to be "the thin end OF
the coercive wedge which will destroy
the great British principle of personal
liberty"
The Daily Herald assures the employ
er that the principle of preference to
unonists" was first introduced by
Liberal government in New South
Wales and by Liberal government in
the federal parliament.
"All that the Fisher (Labor) ministry
has done is to employ it to government
work in accordance with the policy
which was sanctioned by an overwhelm-
ing majority OF the federal election last
year." says the paper, which makes this
further interesting comment on the in
dustrial arbitration act:
ITO rob a man of his right to strike
as the industrial arbitration act does, is
declared to be Strictly just (according
to Mr.. Phillipps), but to give power to a
judge to, in certain rare circumstances,
grant preference to men who have the
good sense to join a union which will
protect their rights is solemnly declared
to be the thin edge of the wedge which
will destroy the great British principle
of personal liberty
"To compel man to work under con-
ditions which he objects to is slavery,
but that is what the industrial arbitra-
ton act of 1912 does. To some it gives
power to go to the arbitration court to
others it does not afford that opportun-
ity, but holds over their heads the pun
ishment of three months imprisonment
if they do what workmen in other parts
of the world do-refuse to work in un-
salts factory conditions. And yet this is
what Mr.. Phillips describes as strictly
just"
The Daily Herald has this to say of
the much-discussed preference to I'M
ionsts" provision
"The sober fact is that Judge will
only grant preference to unionists if he
thinks it will bring about industrial
peace

HOLMES MAY STICK
Safety Director Is Urged To Accept
RcappOintment.

That pressure is being brought to bear
upon Safety Director John X. Holmes to
have him accept reappointment at the
hands of Mayor-elect George Puchta
was indicated yesterday when William
Cooper Proctor and +. w. Edwards
were closeted with the director for more
than an hour. Both men left the office
smiling, and intmated that there is
hope"
Mr.. Holmes frankly admitted that the
mission of the two members of the Re
publican Executive Committee was to
have him change his mind as to continu-
ing in office after the 1st of the year
He declared, however, that he had not
promised anything, excepting that, as a
member of the same committee, he
would aid in securing the best man pos
siblc as his successor
1t was noticed, however, that the argu-
ments of Messrs. Proctor and Edwards
had made an impression, and it was in
dicated that it is not unlikely that Mr.
Holmes will continue to serve under the
new administration.

ENDORSES COPELAN

That the voice of labor, the pro-
test Of the people, as reflected in
recent issue Of the Labor Advocate,
has been heard and that the "hand-
writing on the wall has been heed
ed, was evidenced during the week
by conferences between various
prominent business men, including
Colonel William Cooper Proctor,
Mr.. +. w. Edwards and other
equally prominent business men who
stood as a stone wall behind Mr..
George Puchta in his campaign for
mayor OF the city. The conferences
resulting in call upon Safety Di-
rector Holmes and an urgent de
mand that he remain in office as
Director OF the Safety Department
Of the city.
As is well known, Mr.. Holmes is
a firm supporter of Colonel William
Copelan as Chief OF Police, and
since Mr.. Holmes had long since
announced his intention of rclin-
gushing the duties of office after
December 31st, but that he would

PUTITHE POOR ON THE.
ROCK PILE

That huge rock pile on the
public landing be established and
used during the winter as a sort Of
resort for the unemployed who may
devote their energies to pounding
rock during the cold wet weather,
is the brilliant idea of Rev. Mr..
White, Superintendent of the De
partment of Charities and Correc-
tions, according to a news item Of
the week.
Mr.. White has peculiar ideas as
to the kind Of charity which he dis
pcnses and the method Of applica-
ton. He believes the hungry should
work, work hard and work long,
before being supplied with a meal
and were it not for the fact that
he draws a fat salary and various
perquisites for the administration
Of charity, he would prefer that
every unfortunate be sent to the
workhousc. 1t is practically Ger
tain he will get his rock pile, since
there are so many ScnSclesS people
in the community who will agree
that his plan affords an excellent
means for the half starved and
equally poorly clad men who apply
for charity to pay in advance by
pounding rock four or five hours
before meal time.
Rock piles as punishment have
been abandoned long ago by Chris
tian communities, but Mr.. White
wants to use them on the poor, in
order to keep them from worrying
him, for which he is paid $1,000 4
wear.

A DEAD ONE

Governor Willis is certainly not
lacking in nerve when ne sends cir
cular letters to the labor organiza-
tlons throughout the State in an at
tempt to screen himself behind the
civil service law in the appointment
Of scabs.
AS a matter of fact, there is no
civil service law in this State, and
whatever there was has been to-
tally destroyed by Mr. Willis.
To our way of thinking, Willis
is an accident. He is simply a
great, big country boob, who cvi-
IDENTITY failed to learn anything dur
ing his sojourn at Washington,
ID. c. Judging from his appear
ance the last time we saw him, he
should obtain suit Of city clothes
a bath, shave and a haircut, which,
with the half-soleing Of his shoes
would add greatly to the general
scenery.
Mr.. Willis is political dead one
But don't tell him.
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1915-12-04

do all in his power to retain Colonel
Copelan in office, it is evident that
the urgent request that he continue
to serve the city as head of the
Safety Department means the re-
tention of Colonel Copelan as head
of the Police Department.
This visit to Mr.. Holmes on the
part of the distinguished gentle
men mentioned, is evidence of their
good faith and also of the sincerity
of the promises made by Mr.. Puchta
during the recent campaign, and
will prove most gratifying to those
who contributed to the overwhelm-
ing success of the Republican ticket.
1t also goes to show that labor,
when united, can make its voice
heard, even in the remote corners
of party councils.
