er gets in higher wages he loses il
higher. prices. High wages tend t
raise the level of pay for all industry
not at its own expense but at the
expense of the unearned profits OF
special privileges. The true sign OF
general prosperity is high wakes. Yet
the only method of securing and main.
tanning. high wages under present so.
cial adjustments is thru labor organi.
zation.
Industrial peace, also, is conserved
thru established and fairly recognized
labor organization. That this is Sc
the mediation work of the department
goes to prove. In the cases in which
labor organizations have been recog-
nized by employers, mediation upon
Just terms has been much more easily
effected than in the cases in which
employers, thru acting collectively
themselves, have refused to accord
rights of collective action to the wage
workers from whom their employees
are drawn.
The more cordially the principle of
labor organization and the policy of
collective bargaining between employ
ers and wage workers are sustained
by public opinion, even in opposition
to the hostile attitude of what is hap
Phy d diminishing numDer OF employ
ers, the more effective for the general
good will the mediation work of this
department become.
AS it is ordinarily only thru or
ganization that the many in any class
or of any interest can become articu-
late with reference to their common
needs and aspirations, the department
of labor is usually under a necessity
of turning to the labor organizations
that exist and such as may come into
existence for definite and trustworthy
advice on the sentiments of the wage
earning classes regarding their COM
mon welfare. Freely as conferences
with unorganized wage earners are
welcome, official intercourse with indi-
viduals as such has practical limits
which organization alone can remove.
Manifestly, then, the department of
labor must invite the confidence and
encourage the cooperation of respon-
sible labor organizations and their ac-
credited officers and committees if it
is to subserve its prescribed purpose
thru an intelligent and effective ad-
ministration of it's authorized func-
tions.

WHY LATIN IS WRITTEN
ON DOCTOR DOPESHEETS

Physicians prescriptions are writ
ten in Latin, perhaps, for the same rea-
son that hotel menus are printed in
French-it is the conventional thing;
people have come to expect it and
might think a physician less learned
who wrote his prescription otherwise.
The medical profession knows only
enough Latin to write its prescrip-
tions, and hardly enough even for that,
a writer on the subject in a medical
journal claims.
Nothing could be more curious than
some of the arguments used in defense
of this long-standing custom. About
the only answer that a well-known
physician is able to suggest in pub
lished article on the subject is that
ga prescription in Latin can be filled
anywhere in the world" There's the
very point. 1t can't. The apothe-
carries clerks who do most of the COM
pounding are generally as weak on
Latin as on the origin of the New
Testament. They know their own
tongues-and ragtime-but that is as
far as they go, and an honest doctor
will admit that ignorant mistaking OF
Latin letters and words by prescrip-
tion compounders has hurried hun

of their respective workmen on the
other. Employers act collectively
thru their own chosen agents-cor-
poration managers, factory or mine
superintendent or foremen, labor bro
kers, or the like-who in hiring labor
ers represent collective financial in
terests. 1t is obvious that this method
of employment, generally necessary
for success in modern industry, may
give to employers great contractual
advantages over wage earners. Un-
less wage earners also act collectively
thru their own agents they are often at
a practical disadvantage. Employers
who act collectively thru their agents
in hiring wage earners are often
averse to dealing with the agents of
wage earners who collectively offer
their services. They desire to contract
with wage earners individually"
Those observations have now been
tested and found true by the efficient
body of commissioners of Cancellation
who have represented the department
in its mediation service.
Large employers are usually incor-
porated companies, with many stock
holders of diversified industrial con-
nections and with boards of directors
having intercorporate affiliations. Of
ten they are fortified with public
franchises or other special privileges,
and their superintendent and fore
men-with whom alone wage earners
have personal relations-are natur-
ally sensitive to the industrial powers
back of them. An individual wage
worker is weak indeed as a bargainer
with such employers. He must take
ment; and going long without employ
ment means to the wage worker what
hopeless bankruptcy means to the
business man, except that it is i'm
measurably worse.
Only if employment opportunities
were unlimited could wage earners
bargain individually with employment
interests so unified. But, in reality,
employment opportunities are limited
very narrowly limited. The fact
may be abnormal, but fact it is, that
altho the need for labor products is
constantly in excess of their supply,
yet opportunities for producing them
are somehow so few that work is sell
dom plentiful. Never, one may fairly
say, is opportunity for work so far
in excess of persons needing work as
to give them more than very slight
and very temporary advantage in bar
or even to place them for long
on an even footing. While this un-
balanced condition lasts the interests
of wholesome social life demand that
wage earners be freely conceded the
right, in bargaining for employment,
to do SO collectively.
Organized Labor.
Those considerations give rise log
ically to considerations relative to the
of wage earning labor.
The interests of the wage earners of
the United States, regardless of
they are organized or not,
are represented by this department.
1t makes no distinction between the
two. Yet its experience tends to dem
onstrate the Importance of labor or
ganization, not alone to wage earners
but also to the public interests as a
whole.
For collective bargaining purposes
alone, organization is Indispensable. |
Without it the economic independence
of wage earners would be impossible
under existing industrial conditions,
because workers cannot bargain COL
lectively unless they are SO organized
as to enable them to bargain thru rep ]

dreds of innocent persons into untime-
ly graves. Besides, who wants to have
a prescription filled all over the world ?
People who have sickness twenty-four
thousand miles long generally stay at
home. Many persons have been cured
for no other reason than that they had
faith in the physician and his pre-
scribed medicine. A mixture of chalk
and water has at times worked Won
ders, but who would have been cured
of anything by that treatment, if the
prescription had been so written that
he could read it? Similarly, salt and
water sounds very simple and are
effective, but when you write Sodium
chloride ct aqua pura; shake well be-
fore using" it seems like a remedy
that any self-respecting patient could
take three times a day before meals
and get well of really prodigious
disease.
Many eminent physicians concede
that the only advantage in retaining
Latin is to keep the patient in the
dark as to what he is taking" which
is not an advantage, particularly if
as suspected, it just as often keeps
the physician in the dark as to what
he is giving.

ETERNAL JUSTICE
By CHARLES MCKAY.

The man is thought knave or fool,
Or bigot-plotting crime,
Who, for the advancement of his race,
Is wiser than his time.
For him the hemlock shall distill;
For him the axe be barred;
For him the gibbet shall be built;
For him the stake prepared.
Him shall the scorn and wrath of man
Pursue with deadly aim;
And malice, envy, spite and lies
Shall desecrate his name.
But truth shall conquer at the last,
AS round and round we run;
And ever the right comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.
Pace thru thy cell, old Socrates,
Cheerily to and fro,
Trust to the impulse of thy soul,
And let the poison flow.
They may shatter to earth the lump of
clay
That holds light divine,
But they cannot quench the fire of
thought
By any such deadly wine.
They cannot blot thy spoken words
From the memory of man
By all the poison ever brewed
Since time its course began.
Today abhorred, tomorrow adored,
so round and round we run,
And ever the truth comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.
Plot in thy cave, gray anchorite;
Be wiser than thy peers;
Augment the range of human power
And trust to coming years.
They may call thee wizard and monk
accursed,
And load thee with dispraise;
Thou vert born five hundred years too
soon
For the comfort of thy days.
But not too soon for human kind;
Time hath reward in store;
And the demons of our sires become
The saints that we adore.
The blind can see, the slave is lord;
So round and round we run,
And ever the wrong is proved to be
wrong,
And ever is justice done.
Keep, Calico, to thy thought
And nerve the soul to bear;
They may gloat over the senseless
words they wiring
From the pangs of thy despair.
They may veil their eyes, but they can
not hide
The suns meridian glow;
The heel of priest may tread thee
down
And a tyrant work thee woe;
But never a truth has been destroyed;
They NAV curse it and call it
crime;
Pervert and betray, or slander and slay
Its teachers for time.
But the sunshine, aye, shall light the
sky
AS round and round we run,
And the truth shall ever come upper
most
And justice shall be done.
And lives there now such men as these
With thoughts like the great of old
Many have died in their misery
And left their thoughts untold
Many may live and are ranked as mad,
And placed in the cold worlds ban |
For sending their bright, far-seeing |
souls,
Three centuries in the van.
They toll in penury and grief
Unknown, if not maligned;
Forlorn, forlorn, bearing the scorn
OF the meanest of mankind;
But yet the world goes round and
round,
And the genial seasons run;
And ever the truth comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.
