Freedom Must Not Be
Surrendered.
BY President Gompers

1t is proposed that congress enact
a law TO prevent wage carers from
agreeing to quit work collectively.
In rther words, legislation is pro-
posed to limit or deny the right of
concerted action to inaugurate
strike. However, every one knows
that he effect Of the proposed leg
islation would be to deny individ-
uals the ri rbt to stop working at
will, or stated conversely, the law
would compel workers to remain at
work under conditions against
which is in no way different from
slavery
The only way to make the pro.
test of workers effective is concerted
action. For one or two railroad
men to leave their positions because
they could not secure the eight
hour workday would accomplish
but little in inducing the railroad
corporations to agree to shorten
hours of work. The only thing
that can make the railroad compa-
nies see the rtasonableness of the
eighthour workday Is to make
them appreciate the economic power
of their employees.
The plain purpose of the legisla-
tion is to make strikes illegal.
This is completely at variance with
the whole trend of industrial devel-
opment and recent legislation enac-
ted by congress. Practically all of
the people of our country have now
grasped the fact that a strike is not
a crime. There must be complete
revulsion cf feeling if they endorse
the proposal in congress which will
make strikes crimes. If strikes
are declared crimes, 1t Will then be
necessary to impose severe penal
ties in order to enforce the purpose
of the law The purpose and method
of the legislation are reactionary

QUIET AND NEAR LONDON.
The Lonely Cotswolds Nearly Touch
The Worlds Biggest City.

The Worlds Biggest City.
The Cotswolds are an example Of the
variety of natural scenery that Eng.
land succeeds in packing away within
her narrow sea barred boundaries
Here, within three hours of the largest
city in the world, you can walk in
complete loneliness over a grassy road
that follows the route laid out by Ro-
man engineers, with tumbled sky
line Of real mountains on your right
and a sweep Of empty fields falling
away to the left You can take tea In
an old Roman villa, where the tiled
courtyard is still smooth and tight; you
can sleep In an inn that has apparent
ly not changed it's habits or its bill OF
fare since the days of Richard the
Crusader.
AS mountains the Cotswolds cannot
pretend to any great eminence or bold
ness They have no attractions for the
man who wishes to brave steep cliffs
or for him who would travel for a
week on end through a single pine dark
valley They are well bred little hills
compared with the Alps or the Rockies,
but they have the true mountain flavor
of loneliness and sturdy charm. The
occasional farmhouse enhances the pe
culiar feeling Of ISOLATION, for a single
human dwelling only serves to set off
loneliness
And the roads are a perpetual de
light The Kings highway winds
through these hills-a public road that
would cost the landed proprietor who
owns the ground on either side of Il
half his fortune in legal expenses t
close up.-Exchange.

Economic power IS the only
agency which the workers have for

No Settlement In
Malloy Case.

On last Saturday a meeting was
held in Trades Council hall by the
committee of Carpenters Union, 637
and the committee who tried to as
sist them in the Mailoy case. A
friend of the labor unions and Ed
Malloy attended the meeting. This
friend Of the parties concerned tried
to bring abb ut a settlement of the
grievance against Ed. Malloy but
the same proved failure. As the
matter stands the Carpenters and
Malloy are still ON the outs and the
non union carpenter employed on
his repair job at the corner Central
4 Avenue and Washington streets is
still working ard finishing the
work.
The business agent of the Car
penters waited on Nal oy when the
work was started and requested
that he employ union labor but he
refused at the time saying that the
man he had contracted with owed
him money. The contractor comes
from Miami5burg and is not a
member of the Carpenters Union.
The business agent and other mem
bers of the carpenters organization
appealed to the contractor himself
to sign up with the union but he
refused.
At the meeting Malloy stated
that this contractor would have
signed up if a certain member Of
the union who called on him, would
not have come This was taken as
one Of those ancieut excuses that is
always manufactured il cases oi
this nature to keep from signirg
up. Somebody is always made the
goat but Malloy and his non union
contractor can not make enc out OF
this member because his reputa-
ton ii the labor movement fol

The meeting however got to a stage
where Malloy accused the men 9r

"The Easiest Way"

The Easiest Way" the story
OF an actress who battles hard to
win recognition but encounters
everywhere the sort Of under
ground politics and jealousies
which battle SO many beginners in
theatrical careers. She accepted
the influence Of a wealthy man as
the only means OF overcoming the
difficulties in her path, and as a
matter OF course is virtually COM
PEELED to pay the traditional price.
Later she falls in love with a
newspaper man, but he is too poor
to marry her, and sets out to make
his fortune prospecting. While
he is absent the actress again finds
herself helpless, and is forced to
go once more To her influential
friend for assistance, and when
the newspaper man returns, with
his fortune made, he refuses to
forgive second time. This leads
to a dramatic situation which
brings the picture to a remarkable
conclusion.
