NO NEED OF COMPULSION.
American Workmen Will Aid Their
Country Without Conscription.

The European war has taught this
one fact-that people will fight for
their country. whether that country
stands as the embodiment of militia
rism and domination or whether it typi-
fies and is the standard bearer of JUS
tice and democracy, says Samuel Com
pers.
In Germany, Russia, France, Austria
and Italy compulsory military service

relied upon voluntary military service
and now proposes to press through par
lament a species of compulsory serv-
ice
| entertained the hope Britain might
have avoided this step; that the ap-
peal for volunteers would have salts
fed all that the country might ask.
Though | am quite removed from the
direct sources of information. still
greater concentrated effort in that di-
rection would. in my opinion, prove
effective.
For us in the United States to at
tempt, however. to sit in Judgment
upon either lHe governmental PROPOSE
ton or the trade union meeting decla-
ration against conscription is not only
purely academic OH our part, but Of
questionable propriety, as well as a
lack Of good Judgment particularly il

1t is easy for us SO far removed from
the field Of action TO assume the posi-
ton Of critics of either the one or the
other proposition. The working people
of Great Britain viii do their duty, and
there are no better representatives of
the great masses Of the people of Brit
ain than are the trade unionists.

Low Calls Employers Who Don't Rec
ognize a. E. of |. Shortsighted.


ognize A. F. of |. Shortsighted.
Seth Low, who is chairman of Pres
ident Wilson'S coal commission, in
recent address at Denver said that the
employer who failed to recognize the
American Federation OF Labor was
shortsighted as to his own interests.
The tendency to combine is universal.
1t does not affect employers only nor
employees only 1t affects everybody,
and each combines according to his
own capacity and for his own aims.
The combinations of labor are just as
natural. just as inevitable, as the COM
binations of capital. and you will find
that each kind of combination has been
guilty of the same faults.
| want You to appreciate the differ
ence In the aim between the American
Federation OF Labor, the Socialist par
ty and the Industrial Workers of the
World. The American Federation Of
Labor believes in the present organ
ization of society. 1t accepts the in
stitution of private property as the nat
ural evolution of ages The Socialists
have a different aim. They do not be-
liave in the right Of private property,
except as to personal belongings. They
believe the state should own every in
strumentality Of production and trans
portation for the use Of all. As par
ty they do not favor the use OF vio-
lence.
/ want You TO understand that the
great body of the American Federation
of Labor is nonsocialistic and | think
that the manufacturer or business man
who declines to treat with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor in trying to
develop working agreements is very
shortsighted man
The Industrial Workers of the World
proposition is that labor creates all
values and therefore that no man, no
capitalist, is entitled to anything he
owns, and they wish TO see labor take
its property. They look forward to a
time when labor will own everything,
when there will be no capitalists what
ever.

Bio Year For Labor.

LABOR DISTRIBUTION.
Secretary of Labor Wilson Plans an
Extension of the Present System.

Secretary of Labor Wilson Plans an
Extension of the Present System.
Only within the last year has the
government seriously undertaken the
work of labor distribution. says the
New York World The first real test
came when the grain growers Of the
wheat belt, through the labor commits
sioners of western states, issued APP
peals for harvest help Never before
was this annual problem so effectively
met. AS soon as kilograms were re-
ceived the department OF labor caused
bulletins to be displayed in postoftices
and published in newspapers and sta
toned representatives at points where
they could direct applicants for EN-
ployment to sections in need of harvest
hands.
In his annual report Secretary OF
Labor Wilson proposes to develop this
service into nation wide cooperative
Enthusiastically system of public en-
ployment exchanges. The first labor
exchange may be the local postmaster
who brings employer and worker to-
gether. Otherwise the applications are
forwarded to the nearest station of the
department of labor, where they are
matched up or sent on promptly to the
division of information at Washington,
where comparisons can be made be-
tween the needs of the country at
large.
Out of such a system of federal labor
exchange branches should come a help
full control OF the supply of labor,
which otherwise would be left to drift
largely at random.

STORY OF A WEATHER VANE.
Why Grasshopper Tops the Royal
Exchange In London.


If you ever 90 to London among the
places of interest there you will visit
the public buildings known as the
Royal Exchange. There is a cupola at
the top of that building. Rising from
that cupola is an iron rod with a huge
grasshopper on it for weather yane
And there is an interesting story con
nected with that grasshopper 1t is
this: One day, more than 300 years
ago. mother in England had an in
fant, few months old which she
wanted to get rid Of SO she wrapped
der a bush in a field and left it there
to die unless some one should find it
and take care of it.
Shortly after a little boy was coming
home from school AS he passed by
the place he heard a grasshopper chirp-
ing in the field. He stopped a moment
to listen to it. Then he climbed over
the fence to get it. But just as he was
about to catch it he caught sight of
the baby close by. He let the grass
hopper 90 and, taking the baby in his
arms, carried it home to his mother.
She took charge of the baby and
brought him up He turned out to be
a good, pious boy He was always de-
cided in doing what he knew was
right and in not doing what was
wrong.
When a young man he went to Lon
don and entered into business there
He was successful in business and be
came rich. He was not only rich, but
great. He was knighted and is well
known in English history as Sir Thorn
as Gresham The Royal Exchange
was built in honor Of him And he had
the grasshopper put as a weather vane
on the top Of it in memory of the won
derfuI way in which when an infant
his life was saved by the good pro7i-
dence of Cod Richard Newton in Bi-

Terms In Which He Found 1t Difficult
to Define His Belief

Huxley once wondered whether he
was a deist, an atheist. an agnostic,
pantheist, materialist or a skeptic. an
idealist, a Christian an infdel or
freethinker And the more he reflect
ed the deeper his problem. What an
swer will any one make: Or James
c. Fernald in his work synonyms and
Antonyms" defines each according 10
his own belief, as follows
The deist admits the existence of
God, but denies that the Christian
Scriptures are a revelation from Him
The atheist denies that there is a God.
The agnostic denies either that we do
know or that we can know whether
there is a Cod The skeptic doubts di-
vine revelation
THE inlidel is an opprobrious term
that might once almost have been said
to be geographical in its range The
crusaders called all Mohammedans in
ddels and We're So called by them in

to any decided opponent Of an accept

a freethinker is inclined or addict
ed to free thinking. especially one who
rejects authority or inspiration in re

MesIen,a Father and Wesley.

One cleric well known to fame who
took snuff ana loved his pipe was Sam
uel Wesley rector Of Epworth Lin
colnshire, from lG97 10 1885. He not
only smoked his pipe, but sang its
praises:

What can compare with a tobacco piper
Primed, cooked and toucht 'twould better

Than the Bath fagots or Scotch warm

SamueIs greater son. John Wesley, did
not share the parental love Of a pipe.
He spoke of the use of tobacco as IAN

silly, nasty, dirty custom. Westmin-
