" HANDS OFF REFERENDUM"

Columbus. Ohio-Ihc Ohio initiative
and referendum law is yet ON trial and
any interference with this act by the
courts would lac unwarrantcd.
The above declaration was made by
the State supreme court in the case Of a
GAINESVILLE citizen who attacked the right
of the city council to pass an cmcr-
gcncy measure, thereby preventing ref
crendum, an ordinance for the prcpara-
tion of plans for filtration plant. The
supreme court said:
"Wcrc we to hold that the general as
scmbIy could not vest councils OF muni-
cipalticS with power 10 provide for the
passage OF emergency laws, we would be
lnlicung upon them another and an es-
scntially different sort of referendum
than that provided for in the constitu-
ton, and one clearly not contemplated,
either by its trainers or the people who
adopted it, The initiative and rcfcrcn-
dun theory of legislation has been in
effect but three years in Ohio and the
principle may be fairly said to be yet on
trial. Meanwhile it is the solemn duty
of all courts to keep hands off and to
avoid giving to the provisions Of the
constitution on that subject a strained
construction, which, by reason Of its very
burdcnsomcncSs and unrcasonablcncss
would tend to depopularize it, Such
character of construction is as uuwar-
rantcd as 4 judicial construction tending
to weaken or cmaSculatc the theory"

SAYS FRANK WALSH is RUDE

San Francisco, Cal-Thc Bulletins
editor writes in the following satirical
vein on Frank p Walsh's demand that
the National Americanization Committee
declare in favor of trade unionism:
THE National Amercanization Com
mittce, recently organized at the home
of Vincent Astor, is a refined attempt
to help the immigrant without hurt
ing anybody's feelings Frank p
Walsh, late OF the federal industrial
relations commission, is chairman Of
the industrial relations committee, a
private organization which does not
care whether it moves in the best So
ciety or not. Its policies do not wear
dress suits, do not dine out, and are
bcrs Of the Four Hundred who like to
wear overalls and have grimy, calloused
without reverence for money or blue
blood
These two organizations have come
into contact, and there have been, or
will be, sparks. Chairman Walsh urges
the National Amcricanization Com
mittcc to prove It's sincerity by advis-
ing all immigrants TO join labor unions.
The National Amcricanzation Commit
tee can't prove its sincerity in this way
because it is related by marriage, cdu-
cation and temperament with the great
anti-union industrial employers Of
America, and can't bear to lose their
friendship. Like so many benevolent
organizations it darcs not make enemies.
Therefore its policies are gentle and
tame, and in the view Of men whose
sympathics lie where Walsh's sympathies
do tend to deliver the immigrant into
his employers hand as a useful invcrtc-
bratc This is not Americanizaton, but
rehabilitation. Without freedom to or
ganize with American workingmcn the
immigrant will not become American
ized till the day after eternity, when ii
I will no longer matter

WHY MANY BABIES DIE.

Washington, d. C.-In its annual re-
port, the children's bureau of the. de-
partment of labor calls attention to the
two inquiries conducted during the past
year, which shows that the average
death rate of babies in steel-making and
coal-minng towns is 1874 per 1000,
against "a per 1000 in residential
suburb. An even greater contrast is
found between the most congested sec
ton and the choicest section in each of
these two communities. Commenting
upon these findings, the report says
"The more favorable the civic and family
surroundings, and the better the general
condition of life, the more clearly are
they reflected in essened infant NOR
tality.'
The bureau reports that its work Of
investigation is hampered by lack Of
funds, which is necessary to find "how
many mothers are at work for gain
outside their homes" 1t is stated that
the chidren's bureau is pursuing its in
quiry into the relation of babies deaths
to wages and social conditions, believ-
ing that the inquiry will prove ncreas-
ingly valuable as a stimulus to more
active protection of the youngest and
tcnderest lives throughout the nation"

Jurisdictional Disputes
Cannot Be Prevented

ferences BetWeen Organizations of Workers

dustral union, and would be more acute
than those now existing.
perhaps one of the most incisve
comments upon the practicability of in
dustral unionism was made by a fra
ternal delegate who was keenly interest
ed in understanding the fundamentals
OF the American labor movement. He
remarked that the only basis for indus
trial organization that would be in any
degree permanent would provide for
three organizations a union of mid
wives, union Cf grave-diggors, and
all between belonging to the third.
industrial unionism is not a cure for
disputes or differences between organ
izations Of workers That form of or
ganization would only transfer disputed
questions to other boundaries and other
terms. Jurisdictional disputes develop
from necessary changes in organization
and differences OF opinions as to the best
way of meeting the difficulty They are
an inevitable accompaniment of growth
and organization The problem is not to
eliminate jurisdctional disputes, for that
would eliminate life but to meet them
IN the best possible way.
THE element essential to the adjust
ment Of these disputes is the spirit of
fraternity among the workers, mindful
Of common interests and desirous Of
reaching adjustments. The workers
must be willing to go along together and
to work out practical agreements. This
spirit was one of the distinguishing
characteristics Of the San Francisco con-
vention. Although there were propos-
ais to use compusion, to revoke charters,

TO TEST EMERGENCY LAW.

Boise Idaho.-The state supreme
court is asked to test the legality of
the emergency employment law, which
provides that county commissioners must
furnish work to those who demand same.
This county's commissioners are de-
PENDANTS in the suit, and it is stated that
they will plead that there are no funds
available for the employment of labor
ers. that the county has no work, and
that efficient work requires machinery,
tools and supplies, with which the county
is not equipped in manner to make
emergency employment profitable or
beneficial. 10
Supporters of the law will deny the
right of commissioners to pass Judgment
on the act, and will insist that they
must obey it just as they must obey
other laws upon the statute books, and
that it is up to them to provide the ways
and means for carrying out the plain
mandate OF the law making power OF
the state.
Because OF the unusual provisions OF
this law. and the fact that it is the first
of its kind by any state, the decision
will be watched with interest.

STRIKE VOTE COMPLETED.

Toronto, Ontario-Thc strike vote of
engineers and iremcn employed by the
Canadian Northern Railroad has been
completed, and it is claimed the vote for
a strike is practically unanimous. The
railroad has refused to accept an award
under the Canadian industrial disputes
act, which provides that there can be no
strike or lockout in public utility until
after the government appoints a COM
mission to investigate the question. IN
der the law, the workers asked for a
commission, which supported in part,
their contentious. Now they may be
compelled to strike to enforce the award.

Observation-Disclosures disputes ac-
company growth and organization, says
President Gompers in this months
American Federationist who writes, in
part:
1T is essential to an understanding of
the form OF the organization OF the la
Dor movement to have in mind that the
labor movement is a voluntary institu-
ton, and that it is what the workers
desire. They are guided in their desires
by what they think best serves their
needs and interests A particular form
Of organization can not be fored upon
them against their volition.
Under the laws and principles Of the
American Federation Of Labor, interna-
tional unions have absolute jurisdiction
over all matters affecting the interests
Of their own members only. Each or
ganizatiOn adopts that form Of organ
ization best adapted to protecting its
members and to securing for them in
crcasng benefits, even should the A. Il.
Of /. assume the attitude of debating to
any group OF workers that they must
organize along so-called industrial lines.
No edict will eliminate jurisdictional
disputes no matter by whom such an
edict IS proclaimed. As has occurred III
the past, the members Of any organize
tion would refuse to obey a direction
that did not conform to their conccp-
tions OF their best interests
Even should they obey, jurisdictional
disputes would continue, because they
are an accompaniment OF change and life
in industry.
AS the lines separating industries
change changes become necessary in
the organization OF the workers. Jur-
isdictioual disputes would develop be
tween industrial unions for the same
reasons that they arise between trade
organizations. In addition production
within one industry generally involves
more than one trade. Those Of different
trades have different problems. They
have problems and interests that are fre-
qucntly not identical with the other
workers in the industry 1t is inevitable
that disputes would arise within the in

Denver, Col.-The Denver & Rio

that they want a wage increase. The
commission is doubtful about its power
in cases involving interstate questions
and the workers must wait while lawyers

Under this law all workers must give
thirty days notice before they strike.
