DOUBLES HOPKINS SCORE
Gallaudet Cleans Up Final Basket
Ball Game by 46 to %
Count.

The Gallaudet College basket ball
team last night ended its season with
a victory over the Johns Hopkins In
dependents five at Kendall Green by
a score Of 46 to 23.
The visitors quint started off like
sure winners. when Buchness and
Pfitsch scored two field goals. 1t was
some time before the Buff and Blue
auint got started. but when it did. it
made up for lost time. Schowe was the
first to score. on a play from center to
r. Wenger. who quickly passed to the
midget Then the Kendall Green boys
started to set the pace and annexed
five field goals before the Hopkins lads
were able to get another point.
Gallaudet made it simply impossible. by
great defensive work. for the vis-
itors to get in for a close shot, and
they were compelled to take long
chances. making most of their points
from near the center. At the close of
the first period Gallaudet had just dou-
bIed the visitors score. 16 to &.
Every man on the Gallaudet team
played well and the passing and de-
fensive work was the best seen on the
Kendall Green court this season. John
cloud again proved his worth to the
team by his wonderful defensive play
ing.

RAILROAD PENSIONS
NOT BASED ON JUSTICE

Salt Lake City, Utah.-Editor Moore
of the Utah Labor News, official paper
of the state federation of labor, does not
lose his head because the Hartman rail-
road system offers to provide bonuses,
pensions and life insurance for its EN-
ployes.
A local newspaper is in high glee over
what it terms "the newer ethics in in
dustry" but Editor Moore is cynical of
the railroads ethical" impulses, and de-
clares that this corporation is attempting
to use craft and bribery in the hope that
it will weaken the morale of the men in
their demand for shorter hours.
"This newer ethics in industry" says
the labor paper, "is something that
should cause all self-respectng working
men to pause before accepting. 1t con-
stitutes a form of bribery which, if
stated in its proper terms, would be pun
ishable by fine and imprisonment But
being stated in terms that appeal to the
finer sense of the noblesse oblge, which
the rich pride themselves on manifesting
toward the poor slaves who have made
them wealthy, it calls forth voluminous
praise and is thoughtessly considered
perfectly proper.
What the working people want is not
favors, but rights; not charity, but JUS
tice. They do not want gifts and they
do not want to be placed in the position
where they have to accept these gifts or
else forfeit their opportunities of making
an honest living for themselves and
their families. Such is the present posi-
ton of the employees of the Union Pacific
system who are victims of the generosity
of this great corporation, which, out of
the unpaid earnings of its employees is
graciously giving back mere pittance
under the guise of showing magnan-
nous spirit toward their employees.
"As regards the Christmas bonus we
see no objections to accepting it, since
it constitutes an installment of the sur-
plus earnings of each employe of which
the company is making tardy payment.
When the bonus is paid that ends the
transaction, but the insurance and pen
sion are fixed bonds of servitude which
will bind the victim for life. The propo-
stion to give bonuses at certain future
dates is quite another matter and re-
minds one of the cartoon of the jackass
with tempting morsel of food so at
tached to his head as to be always in
view, but just beyond reach.
The bonuses are part earnings of en-
ployes used to mpel them to remain
with the company, and are on a par with
insurance and pensions-they are bond:
of thraldom."

SEES GOOD In COURT RULING
ON "DRY" LAW
Westheimer Hopes 1t Will DO Away
With BOOtleggers- Welcomes Any
Law That Has the Approval of
Public Sentiment.

Cincinnati liquor dealers were inclined
Tuesday to withhold their comment on
the decision of the U. S. Supreme Court
in upholding the constitutionality of the
Webb-Kenyon law until they had studied
the text of the opinion. The statute for
bids shipment of liquor into States that
have enacted embargoes against it.
There was expressed in some circles
doubt as to the meaning of the decision
with regard to a State passing laws
which would discriminate against inter
state shipments. The following state
ment was made, however, by Morris F.
Westheimer, former president of the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers As
sociation: "We welcome any law that
will meet the approval of public senti-
ment. Chief Justice White, in his de-
cison says There is no intention of
Congress to forbid individual use of
liquor The National Wholesale Ii
quor Dealers Association has always
stood for obedience to law, and if the
decision of the Supreme Court on the
Webb-Kenyon act will aid in protecting
the public and the lawful dealer from
the bootlegger and grating politician,
much good will result"
l.. A. Thilly, secretary of the Ham
ilton County Liquor League, said that
the decision really had no effect upon
his organization, which has to do with
the retail trade locally. However, we
are naturally opposed to the principle
of such laws because we believe they
are in restraint of trade to a great ex-
tent" he added.

OPPOSE STATE COSSACKS.

Utica, n. Y.-There is danger of the
state legislature establishing the cossack
system, known as the state constabulary,
warns ecretary-Treasurer Bates of the
state federation of labor in circular
issued to every New York local. Last
year this proposal was defeated by a
few votes after the hardest kind of work
by organized labor, and unionists are
now urged to Immediately acquaint leg
islators with labor's position on this sub
ject.
Those who are behind the movement
to enact the law for this state" says
the union official, ARE making speciouS
pleas and endeavoring to sugar-coat its
bad points so that labor will swallow it.
The New York State Federation of La
Dor has declared itself absolutely and
unalterably opposed to a state police in
any form"

FORCED INSURANCE
is NOT DEMOCRATIC

Washington.-Social insurance by
force is not democratic even though
it be disguised as compulsory benevo-
lence, writes President Gompcrs in the
current issue of the American Fedora
ZIONIST.
Compulsory social insurance cannot
be administered he says, without exer-
cising some control over wage earners.
This is the meat of the whole matter. In
dustrial freedom exists only when wage
earners have complete control over their
labor power. To delegate control over
their labor power to an outside agency
takes away from the economic power of
those wage carners and creates another
agency for power Whoever has control
of this new agency acquires some degree
of control over the workers. There is
nothing to guarantee control over that
agency to the employed. 1t may also be
controlled by employers. In other words,
giving the government control over in
dustrial relations creates a fulcrum which
means great power for an unknown
user.
Compulsory social insurance is in its
essence undemocratic. The first step in
establishing social insurance is to divide
people into two groups-thosc eligible
for benefits and those considered capable
! to care for themselves. The division is
based upon wage earning capacity. This
governmental regulation tends to fix the
citizens of the country into classes, and
a ong-establishcd insurance system
would tend to make these classes rigid
"There is in our country more voun.
tary social insurance than in any othel
country of the world. We have insttu
tions whereby voluntary insurance coult
be increased. 1t is true that in many OF
these institutions there are evils, but tn,
cure for these evils is to make insurance
companies organize for mutual benefi
and to provide proper regulation ant
control, and, i'll addition, if those VIII,
really have the welfare of wage earn
crs at heart will turn their activities ant

carners the opportunity to organize

Alexander promptly forfeited his bond
and ordered capias issued on Friday,
setting the case again for January 31st.
George Meiners, auditor of the Kroger
concern was on the forfeited bond At
former hearing, attorneys for Hollis
assured the Court that Hollis had taken
a train from Cleveland to Cincinnati,
and that the train must have arrived
late. On Friday, no excuse was offered
for his failure to appear and answer
the charge against him
In Case No. 4S065, Elmer Klusman,
George Larup and Carl Diss, were
charged with completely in the theft Of
a lot of harness rings from a colored

defends all the Kroger non-rnion driv-
ers, represented both Klusman and Lar
up. The trio was found guilty and
given costs suspended by Judge b. C.

TENANT FARMING INCREASES.

Columbus, Ohio.-Advance of tenantry
of farms in Ohio and other states in
the central valley, was termed" "disas
trous" by Professor Vogt, department
of rural economics, Ohio State Univer-
sity, in an address on "The Land Prob
lens and Rural Welfare"
"The steady, even though not rapid,
increase in tenantry," he said, "partic-
ularly in those sections where land val
ues are highest, indicates the approach
of problems most serious for those who
will in future actually live on the farms.
"The rise in land values can mean only
that ultimately the share of the income
going to the landlords will increase
through rising rents, or will become a
permanent burden on the land through
the price paid for it by the purchaser"
The speaker said the policy of plan
ming tenant houses was the 'perpetua,
ton of fundamentally bad condition.
"The better policy he said, would be
to spend the energies of public agencies
in removing the causes that have made
the appearance of a tenant class in Amer
ica possible"

SHORT HOURS lessons CRIME.

Philadelphia-That long hours of
work tend to increase immortality and
shorter hours to decrease crime and in
temperance was the opinion expressed by
Raymond I. Bye at a conference of
church men in this city.
There are some people," he said,
who are impelled to work to express
the creative spirit within them; painters
and sculptors are of this type, but of the
100000 toilers in this country, about
100000 toll not to express the creative
instinct, but in order to live"
He then portrayed briefly the condi-
tions under which they labor-the nerv
Gus strain which accompanies the fast
work to keep up speed to maximum set
the bad air, the dust of textile factories,
the damp atmosphere of laundries, the
poison in paint factories and the piece
work.
Long hours, he claimed, cause acci-.
dents, because of the overtired operators
becoming careless.

FARMERS OPPOSE INJUNCTION.

crs OF this state are against the labor
injunction. AT the convention of the

We condemn the use of a restrain
ing order or injunction in labor dis
putes save where it can be clearly shown,
after hearing represented by both par
ties, that the ordinary processes of law
VIII not avail to protect life or property
and hold in all contempt cases for vio-
lation OF any injunctive order trial by
jury should be had, except when Jury
is waived by the accused"
The convention also declared for
such restrictions of the power of the
courts as shall leave to the people the
ultimate authority to determine funda-
mental questions of social welfare and
public policy.
We demand of our legislature and
courts continue the resolutions, "con-
stant recognition of the principle guar

and the pursuit of happiness-to hold
human rights superior to property

WANT AN INJUNCTION.

Hartford, Conn.-The Cohn & Roth
Electric company has abandoned its
claim for damages against the building
trades unions of this city and will now
be satisfied with an injunction restrain
ing these workers from interfering with
their business" which means that the
unionists must not persist in refusing to
work for the company while it employs
non-union labor.
The Hartford Building Trades Ex-
change is avowedly ant-union and is sup
porting the electric company which is
attempting to disguise its hostility to or
ganized labor by protesting faith in the
so-called open shop" The unionists
however, refuse to be tricked by this
term.
