DEPENDS ON LIGHT
BOYCOTT SUCCEEDS BY THE
WIDEST POSSIBLE PUBLICITY.
On the Other Hand the Blacklist
System of Employers Thrives Only
in Secrecy Like Thief in Night.

The ancient sophistry that there is
no difference between the boycott and
the blacklist, was shattered by Victor
Olander, secretary of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor, at a legislative
hearing on labor's injunction-limita-
tion bill.
"The boycott depends for its success
on the widest publicity, while the
blacklist thrives in darkness" said the
trade unionist..
"The blacklist thrives only in Sc
crecy, like a thief in the night. Public
opinion abhors it-and when subject
ed to the light of day it meets with
sanction nowhere except in the courts,
which uphold it because of a prin-
ciple of liberty involved, the right of
employers to refuse to associate or
deal with persons whose behavior they
disapprove. But injunction judges
deny that right to working people.
'The boycott depends entirely upon
publicity. 1t must vindicate itself in
the open day. 1t can only thrive in
the sunlight of public opinion. 1t is
useless in secrecy. 1t is simply the
exercise of the right of free speech
and free press. 1t consists of the
statement of facts and expression of
opinion. If falsehoods are circulated,
an action for SANDER or libel, civil or
criminal, is the remedy provided by
law.
"If the truth is to be strangled by
the courts for no other reason than
that its utterance may injure the
trade, the business of some firm or
corporation, then-if we are all equal
before the law-no person may speak
of any business except to fatter it.
"The personal rights of free speech
and free press are essential to our
liberties, necessary to our freedom, and
must not be denied in the interest of
any man or corporation"

Is THIS CHARITY OR JUSTICE?
By SCOTT NEARING.

Have the wage-earners earned these
profits or do they represent a philan-
! thropic, paternal sentiment of the en-
ployer?
The department of labor states that
under many of the bonus plans the
employees share is merely a gift and
bears no relation to the profits real
lied" If wage-earner takes share
of the profits under these circumstan-
ces, does he remain a self-respecting
member of the community, or has he
placed himself on the charity roll of
the employer?
The department of labor sums up
the situation by stating that "These
various actual and so-called profit
sharing plans have resulted in estab-
fishing more satisfactory relations be-
tween employers and employees and
have contributed considerably to the
stabilization of the working force, but
employers are not agreed as to the
results achieved with reference to in
creasing the individual or collective
efficiency of participating employees"
Is this true? As yet it is too early
to make any definite statement. For
tunately the profit sharing idea has
not gained a strong footing in the
United States. Sixty firms, engaged
in all classes of business, have adopted
profit scheme that reaches the bulk
of the employees. Sixty firms is not
even a handful when compared with
the total for the country. In the man
ufacturing industry alone at the time
of the last census there were 26S, S,491
firms. This includes only one line of
business in which profits may be
shared.
Is profit-sharing justice or charity !?
Until that OnestIOp is anSware1 IL iS
to be hoped that the proportion of es-
tablishments which indulge in profit
sharing will not increase. If the work
ers in these establishments earn the
returns which go to them in the form
of profits why not pay it to them in
the form of wages? If they do not
earn them, why pauperize and insult
them by offering them something
which is not their due?

UNION POSTMASTER
SAN DIEGO PRINTER "CALLED
BACK" FOR A PRESENTATION.
Lou" Barrow Awarded Token of Es-
teen by Former Shopmates, EN-
blem of Oldest Union in World.

Lucius R. Barrow, member of Typo
graphical Union No. 221, recently ap-
pointed postmaster of San Diego, was
called back Wednesday to his old place
in the Unions composing room, where
he long was foreman, to what he con-
fessed was one of the hardest tasks
he has had for long time, says the
Labor Leader of that city. He was
not asked to hand out copy" to the
printers or to "make up" a page OF
two of type, but to receive a token OF
the esteem in which his former asso-
ciates hold him, and to make little
speech in return. The new postmas-
ter at last cancelled his speech obli-
cation as well as he cancels stamps.
The token of esteem consisted of a
fine gold chain with a diamond set
Masonic emblem and at one end a
gold mounted fountain pen. With it
went large scroll bearing this SEN
timent: Lou, we're sorry you left
u.s." to which 105 of Mr.. Barrow s
former associates had signed their
names, using the fountain pen which
had been selected for him.
The new postmaster was called into
the Union composing room at 3 p. M,
and was met by a large crowd of his
friends. The presentation speech was
delivered by James MacMullen, gen.
eral manager of the Union and Eve
ming Tribune, who, in few sentences,
had little fun at the expense of the
former foreman and then concluded:
eve have come to the conclusion
that if he has any faults they are
nothing but typographical errors,
which we all know are easily forgiven,
and in order that he may cherish re-
membrance of our warm friendship
we present him this chain and this
Masonic emblem, the badge of the old
est union in the world. May he wear
them to the end of his career and
may he find in the more exalted sta
ton to which he has been called as
loyal friends and comrades as he has
left behind him today"
Postmaster Barrow, in reply, told
of his regrets in leaving such happy
surroundings and expressed the hope
that his successor, William bennett,
might have the fine cooperation which
had been extended to him at all times.
Then, amid applause, he installed the
chain and pen in their proper places,
Mr.. Barrow had been foreman of the
Union composing room for ten years.
In and out of the composing room he
has a host of real friends.

SINGLE TAKERS TO HOLD MEET.
National Convention Called for At.
lantic City in April.

The single tax campaign in Califor-
MIA last year was departure from 9TH
er campaigns in the single tax move
ment, because it demanded the full
application of the Henry George phil
osophy at once. The large vote it OBJ
tanned under the campaign slogan of
"The Great Adventure" has justified
a call by leading single takers for a
national convention to be held at At
lantic City, April 13, Ia and Is.
The Denver Single Tax club will
send its president, J. r. Hermanns, as
a delegate from this city, and he will
go with instructions to secure the next
national convention for Denver.
Luke North, of Los Angeles, leader
of the California movement, which has
become nation wide, will stop in Dem
yer on his way from the convention
and will occupy the platform occupied
by Samuel r. Maxwell at the Tabor
Opera house the latter part of May. A
state conference will be called in Dem
yer at the time of Luke North's visit
here and organization perfected to
carry on the work in Colorado as the
national convention will outline.
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-03-24

The United States department of
labor has issued bulletin in which the
various methods of profit sharing are
described and analysed. The depart
ment separates the methods of profit
sharing into two classes. In the first
class are those employers who dis:
tribute a specific proportion of the
net profits to at least one-third of the
total number employed, including
wage-earners as well as clerks and
officials. In the second class are the
employers who do not distribute pro
fits to as many as one-third of their
employees.
The department of labor finds sixty
establishments in the United States
operating under the first plan. In
these sixty establishments the profits
distributed vary from 2 to 100 per
cent of the wages paid. Thirteen of
the firms are in Massachusetts, and
twenty-six are manufacturing estab-
lishments. OF the thirty-four estab-
lishments from which detailed reports
were secured more than four-fifths of
the employees who participated in the
profits were wage-earners.
The department states that the
number of firms conducting limited
profit sharing plan is very large. Of
seventeen reporting, almost all par
the wage-earner or manual worker.
In eighteen establishments approx
mately "a per cent of the participat-
ing employees were executives, clerks
or salespeople. In ten of the estab-
lishments the proportion of partici-
pants was less than 10 per cent of the
number Employed
Most of the profit sharing in the
second class-which is the big class
is not intended for the wage-earners,
who constitute from three-fourths to
nineteen-twentieths of the total num-
Der of gainfully occupied people in the
larger and more highly organized in
dustries of the country. Still, the
practice may spread, as its advocates
urge to all industries.
The time has come to ask a ques-
ton: SIS this charity or justice ?"

Shall the Saloon
Control the Labor
Movement?
Aren't you tired of having
liquor men make a ''Goat''
of the labor movement?
They are issuing false or unsound
statements as what will happen to
the workingmen's jobs when the
saloons are closed
They are taking an unfair advan-
tage Of the pledge Of loyalty Of the
trades-unionists toward one another.
They are expecting union men to
vote and work for he saloon, even
though they are personally opposed
to it, merely to show that they are
good fellows"
1t is unthinkable that at time when prac-
tically every other organization Interested
in the welfare of mankind is increasingly
opposed to this decaying and widely con-
demned institution, organized labor should
be expected to fight the battles of the saloon.
IF you are opposed to having it appear that
organized labor stands for the saloon send
your name and address to Charles Stelzle,
los East 22nd St., New York, and we will
tell you how to meet the arguments of the
liquor men, and what you as trades union
ist may do to help fight the saloon

are alaWys opposed to the
interests of the working-
man.
