WORLD OF LABOR

A Massachusetts legislative COM
mittee favors a two-platoon system
for municipal fremen. The act is
to apply to communities which &C
cept 1t at elections held on petition
of Is per cent. of the voters.
According to data compiled by
the United States Bureau of Labor
Statistics and published in its
Monthly Review fer February the
number of strikes and lockouts In
the United States during the year
1916 was 1923. The number sim
ilarly compiled during the year 1916
was l ,229.
A 10 per cent. wage increase for
13 1000 shoe workers, effective May
/, has been announced by the
Brockton (Mass Manufacturers
Association. Manufacturers said
the new scale would add 81 300, 000
annually to the payroll of local fac
tories. The operators also will
get half holiday on Saturdays.

UniOnism Followed Tyranny.

Richmond, Va, April 27.-The
czar-Iike methods of railroad off
cials forced employees to unite Is the
acknowledgment of George Stevens
president of The Chesapeake & Ohio
railroad, in an interview published
in the Times Dispatch.
Personally, and as a railroad
man, he said, 81 recognize that
the labor union has come to stay.
AS an employer, my attitude is that
employers might as we'll recognize
ii and unite with the unions TO see
that both sides get square deal.
In all fraukness, rather sus-
pect that the union of today re-
suited from overbearing methods OF
railroad managements of the eally
days of railroading, or even from
recent days. There WAS the time
when the railroad manager was an
absolute little czar in his position
If man displeased him in aught
he cut off his head arbitrarily and
that was the erd of it.
To-day, when the manager dis
charges an employe, he must show
a clean case against him that he
deserved discharge This is only
fair and right to the wage Garner,
especially the one who is supp ri
ing family"

FIT THE MAN TO THE JOB.
Square Pegs Are Not Made to Go Into
Round Holes,

Square Pegs Are Not Made to Go into
Round Holes.
In the American Magazine is an ar
ticle entitled Are You a Square Peg
In Round Hole?" by Herman Schnei-
der, dean of the school of engineering
of the University of Cincinnati. Dean
Schneider has devoted his life to max.
ing successes out of failures and to
finding the right job for the right man
He believes that failure is seldom more
than an indication Of the right path to
success. Among other things he says:
every individual has certain gen
eral traits; every kind Of work has
certain general characteristics. The
problem is to interpret the traits of
the individual, classify the character
istics of the job and then guide the
individual into the job for which he Is
supremely fitted. This is one real EN-.
ployment problem.
'"There are very many human char
acteristics, but there are a few broad
and general ones which frequently
make for success or failure.
'There is type of man who wants
to get on the same car every morning,
get off at tue same corner, go to the
same shop, ring up at the same clock,
stow his lunch in the same locker, go
to the same machine and do the same
class of work day after day. Another
type of man would 80 crazy under this
routine. He wants to move about, meet
new people, see and do things. The
first is settled; the second is rowing.
The first might make good man for
shop manufacturing "A standard prod
uct; the second might make a good
railroad man or a good outdoor car
penter. 4 failure in one line of work
may prove a big success in another"

Dear Sir and Brother:
Enclosed find copy of reply to
some of the slanderous, false state
ments published by the Rev Chas.
Stelzle, who poses as representa-
tive of the Churches OF Christ. but
who is III realty one of the Anti
Saloon League leaders and is So
liciting money from big Employers
throughout America for the pur-
pose of fighting against Labor Or
CARNATIONS, such as the Brewery
Workers, Bartenders, Coopers, and
others engaged in these industries.
Mr.. Stelzle has collected a fund
tor the purpose of purchasing the
columns of the Labor Press and has
succeeded in deceiving a few of the
Editors into accepting his adver-
tisements.
Trusting sincerely that the Labor
Press will remain loyal to the cause
of Labor and the affiliated Organi-
cations, and that you will give my
answer to Stelzle space in your
columns and refuse to accept all
future advertisements from Mr..
Stelzle and his associates, remain,
