STOPS EXPLOITATION.
Fake efficiency" Laid Out by the
United States Government.

Fake Efficiency" Laid Out by the
United States Governments.
The American Federation Of Labor
has achieved tremendous victory Of
farreaching consequence in protecting
workers In certain trades against a
pernicious system that threatened the
manhood the independence and the
initiative of the workers of those
trades. Particularly the workers of
the metal trades have felt the impend-
ing danger of efforts to fasten upon
them systems of so-called scientific
management" These systems are en-
deavoring TO establish new standard
for paying wages. Il standard that
would inevitably undermine the health
and mentality of workers, for 1t is
standard that aims directly to speed
up workers to the exhaust point and
to instill mechanical habits of work.
In order TO protect the lives and
health of workers, congress incorpo-
rated into the Sundry civil bill and
fortifcations bin the following proviso:
Provided, That no part of the ap
preparations made i'm this act shall be
available for the salary or pay Of any
officer, manage, superintendent, fore
man, or other person having charge of
the work of any employee of the Unit
ed States while making or causing to
be made with stop watch, or other
time measuring device. time study
of any Job cf any such employee be-
tween the starting and completion
| thereof. or of the movements of any
such employee while engaged upon
such works. nor shall any part of the
| appropriations made in this act be
available to pay amy premium or bonus
or cash reward to any employee in ad-
| dition to his regular wages, except
for suggestions resulting in improve
mentS or economy in the operation Of
amy government plant
/ These bills were approved by both
houses Of congress ANA have been
signed By the president The same
proyiso is included in the naval and
/ army bills THUS the workers have
secured congressional approval for
their opposition TO systems that have
sought to give to new exploiting
scheme the sanction Of science ana OF
efficient production
Workers have proved by their actual
experiences that stop watch time meas
uring systems are neither scientific
nor are they IN furthcrauce of most
effective production. The workers arc
not opposed to the methods or devices
that facilitate production, bat they are
opposed to methods that dehumanizc
the workers
The SO called scientific efficiency sys-
TENS that have been thus far proposed
are neither scientific nor efficient. The
workers are In favor of methods that
viii enable them to become more eff
fective, intelligent resourccful partic
ipators in production Such methods
must necessarily be educational in ma
ture
The labor movement declares that
effort to promote production in quality
as well as quantity must have as its
primary consideration the develop
ment of the creative power of the hu
man agents The principle that is con
tanned In the provsos to these foul
legislative measures must later be en-
acted into specific provisions OF enact
ed law American Federationist

THE RIGHT TO WORK.
An lntoIerabIe Decision by the Su
preme Court of Massachusetts.


preme Court of Massachusetts.
By ROBERT NJ. LA TOILETTE, senator
from Wisconsin.
The supreme court of Massachusetts
recently decided in the case of John
Bogni ct al. versus Giovanni Perotti ct
al. that the right to work lis property.
1t is as much property as the
more obvious forms of goods and mer-
chandise. stocks and bonds
Thus the highest court of one of the
thirteen original states holds that labor
is property, The state that led in the
movement to write the principle of
equality into the fundamental law of
the land now makes denial Of the in
trinsic doctrine of the Declaration of
Independence
The right to work is the right to live.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou
eat bread
Labor cannot be property unless men
are property 1t is the exercise of pow
err The ONLY way to possess labor is
to possess men. That means slavery.
The struggle Of the Christian world
has been to make men free and to keep
them free
The doctrine that labor is property
was asserted as a dictum by the su-
preme court Of the United States in the
hatters case 1t was abhorrcnt to the
essential ideals of American liberty 4
wave Of protest swept tlie country.
There arose an iusieten demand for
the Enactment OF statutes that should
distinguish banana powr from prop
erty, work from chaJcls. merchandise
and commodities and tlat should de-
fine ana forever establish the status of
labor on tie foundation rock of human
freedom
So the congress OF thc United States
I'm euacting the Clayton law specifically
declared that labor Is not commodity
or article Of commerce; that TO labor OF
employ labor shall not be held to be a
property right, but personal right
and so on.
This principle was made part of
the statutory law of many states, in
Guiding Massachusetts But the recent
decision Of that court nulliies the prin
ciple and holds the statute unconsdtu
tional. Docs any one fail to under
stand the effect of this decision-the
supreme power lodged in big business
the crushing blow dealt labor?
Massachusetts is not the only state
concerned. Other cases viii be speed
ily brought to test similar statutes en-
acted IN other states as we'll as section
of the Clayton act If the Massa
chusetts decision that labor is property
is followed by the other states and by
! the supreme court of the United States
it means virtual slavery for the wage
! earners.
! The thought is intolerable The de
cision will not stand. 1t must not be
come a precedent The American peo
pie will not submit to the yoke.

Lord Beaconstield is one of the most

novel was written in 1926, exactly fifty
years before the writer assumed the

New Doctor Locates

g. R. Melger, a physician and sur
goen from Evansville, has decided to
locate in Morris after looking over
the field. He has secured office room s
in the DR.. Harris block formerly oc-
cupied by Carlson, the land man,
and expects to be ready to answer
calls in a few days. His Office equip
ment was sent from Evansville last
Monday.
DR.. Meier is son in-law of Mrs.
o. Schreiber, of this city, and is
quite we'll known in Morris. He is
a graduate of the Northwestern hos
pital at Chicago and has practiced at
Evansville a little Iover five wears.
He was urged to come to Morris after
the death of DIR. Hulburd. DIR. Melzer
speaks the German and Scandinavian
languages and believes this will be a
help to him in his practice here. DR..
and Mrs. Melzer will live at the
Schreiber residence.

Breaks Arm; Grinds

The remarkable vitality of Ole
Thorstad, a we'll known farmer in
Framnas, was ample demonstrated
Monday. While grinding feed in his
barn Mr.. Thorstad accidentally placed
his left arm in close proximity to the
belt leading fro m the engine. The
coat sleeve was caught and his arm
sucked into the gearing. Both bones
of the arm were broken and the victim
was thrown to the floor with great
violence, where he tainted. Feeling
no pain upon recovering Mr.. Thorstad
set about his work again. He filled
the mill and ground out fifteen sacks
of grist. Then discovered his broken
arm. Next day he drove to Morris
where DR.. Cain E attended to his in
iuries.

Coffee is His Hobby

G. L. Young's fame as a coffee
blender has reached the North Dakota
prairies and yesterday Mr.. Young re-
ceived an order from Fairmont direct
ing that 25 pounds of his "Nugo" be
sent Immediately. The coffee goes
to restaurant. Young is the pro-
prietor of cash grocery on upper
Atlantic avenue in this city. Last
fall he prepared seven advertisements
each containing an interesting story
about coffee and the way the berries
are blended. He told of his own pro-
cess in blending, and quoted prices on
his two leading brands. In a few
weeks he had increased his local sales
and then outside orders began coming
in. Fairmont is the most remote
point heard from so far. Mr.. Young
had no idea of developing a mail
order coffee business when he placed
mis- seven advertisements in the Nor
ris Tribune. In fact, it was his first
attempt at newspaper advertising in
Morris, and the results are startling
to him. Mr.. Young has spent life
time in the coffee business in Chicago
and is probably the best posted
coffee blender and merchant in Min
nas0fa

The class play was given at the
Orpheum last Wednesday when the
class appeared in a sketch entitled,
"1he Halstead Robbery" From start
to finish the play was a success and
every member of the cast surprised
the audience in the admirable pre-
sentation. A. B. Newton was the
director and after the performance
was presented with a substantial gift
from the class as a token of apprecia-
tion for his work.
