"Win Without
The Coolies
BY President Gompers, in American
Federationist

Shortly after war was declared by
the United States against the i'm
perial German government, war con-
ditions were made the basis for an
agitation to suspend legislation limit
ing and regulating immigration into
this country. AS a result of condi
tions prevailing during the war, i'm
migration into the United States had
fallen from 1,218,48O in the year
ending June 80, 1914, to 295, ,4O3 in
1917, making a decrease of 923,O77.
AS a result of tremendous immi-
grafton into this country, which was
in a large measure induced by steam
ship companies and by corporations
who wished to profit from foreign
cheap labor, there existed in practic-
ally all sections an over-supply of
workers. A report published in the
Monthly Review by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the Department of
Labor, October, 1915, shows that
there was an average of 2,177,0OO
persons idle, taking averages during
IL months in the year in normal
times. The months in which the
European war was in progress had
not, as yet, taken up the slack. How
ever, the employers of this country
have never given any thought how to
make most efficient use of workers or
to plan for continuous employment
of those on their pay roll or the
"army of the unemployed" They had
always trusted to chance that there
would be enough seeking jobs when
ever there was occasion for employ
ing additional workers. They had
never organized their work to con-
form to the needs and supply Of
workers. They had always expected
workers to conform to the needs and
interests of employers. Labor had
been considered as the unimportant
part of the production, to be either
hired or fired in process of produc-
ton.
Employers had no conception of
adjusting the economics of their or
ganization to the new situation
which made workers more valuable
and less readily available. If three
men were not waiting for one job,
they thought there was shortage.

Newark Trades &
Labor Assembly

The regular meeting of the Trades
Assembly was held last Sunday, and
was called to order at 915 a. m. by
President Morgan.
Minutes of previous meeting were
read and approved.
Credentials were read from the
Moulders, Typographical, Flint Glass
Workers and Painters Unions, ap-
pointing their delegates for the en-
suing term. The trustees reported
on the audit for past period, stating
the books to be in splendid condi-
tion and the finances in good shape.
The chair then appointed the fol-
lowing committee to prepare a de-
monstration on Lincolns birthday:
Sattler, Bailey, Hamilton, Dowden,
Cantwell.
Bro. John Bush was appointed on
the "War Savings Board" represent
ing Labor In this connection we
might state that Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Certificates are for
sale at the office of the Newark
Leader, 151a West Main ST., where
they may be obtained at any time.
Bro. STREET resigned his position
as trustee and Bro. Jack Cantwell
was elected to the office. A rising
vote of thanks was given Bro. STREET
in recognition of faithful, earnest
and efficient service rendered during
his many years of membership in the
Council.
Bro. Geo. Hamilton was elected
Chaplain for the ensuing term. Bro.
Hamilton gave one Of his very fine
addresses which was we'll received.
A communication was read from
the "U. S. Service Reserve" asking
for representative for this city,
and Bro. F. G. Bailey was named for
the position.
We had several interesting talks
under good and welfare.
The roll call Of officers and dele
gates was then taken, showing a
splendid attendance.
The Assembly adjourned to meet
Feb. 10th.

The only remedy that occurred to
them was to open up the flood
gates of immigration. They clam
ored for the repeal of this "protec-
tive" legislation. However, the de-
partment of labor suspended the i'm
migration law to permit the entrance
of Mexican workers, and then an as
sault was made upon the Chinese ex-
clusion act.
Steamship companies have offered
to bring in thousands of Chimes cool
les. This movement now finds con-
gressional father in Senator Gallinger
OF New Hampshire, who introduced in
the senate a resolution to investigate
the advisability of repeating or sus-
pending the Chinese exclusion act.
The advocates of this course are
treating the whole question as though
it were a matter of expediency only.
They ignore the fundamental princi-
piles upon which immigration legisla-
tion is based. These laws are the re-
suit of considered judgments and
careful investigation of conditions
and tendencies covering a period of
several decades.
World experience has demonstrated
that the white race can not assimilate
races of other colors. The other al
tentative, amalgamation, has results
that are repugnant to Americans.
We already have one race problem
still unsettled.
There threatened another more
serious problem through coolie i'm
migration. European immigrants
sooner OF later become co-operators
with Americas workers, but Chinese
workers provoke conflict between
white and yellow standards of life
and work in which the coolies sup
plant and drive out the white workers.
The result of the proposed policy
would be, therefore, the Chinese colo
nies and industries which spring
up in this country. To prevent this
disaster the Chinese exclusion act
was adopted with which is associated
the gentleman's agreement which
also restricts Japanese workers. The
same conditions that made advisable
the adoption of this legislation make
inadvisable it's repeal.
With one urgent and unsolved race
problem on our hands we can not af-
ford to risk national existence by in
viting another. In this war for free
dom we can not afford to use meth
DDS that would deprive our workers
of those things that give life, hope
and opportunity. Americans must
deal with Americas problems. Either
they will demonstrate to cope with
the situation for moral and mental
stamina, or else they will confess in
ability to defend the cause of demo-
cracy and freedom. The problems
of the war demand brains and eff
cheney, not stupidity and Sinking!
Unite to win the war!

almost made for each other. In James
P. Wolfe these offices are filled by a
man, who fits into them so exactly
that we can say he was made to fill
them.
1t is by presence of mind in untried
emergencies that the native metal of
a man is tested, and in many emer-
gencies Mr., Wolfe has proven he is
made of metal that will stand the
severest test. In affairs where
supreme clearness of mind and purity
of purpose are demanded he has been
distinguished for his ability even in
the face of strong opposition.
He is always approachable and is
never too busy to give consideration
to those who seek information per-
tanning to his office. He hears each
mans plea with patience and care
fully weighs all the facts in the case,
and when called upon to decide the
affairs of the men he has shown
capableness on so many occasions
that along with his splendid magnet
ism he has attracted a numerous and
loyal following.
He has remarkable foresight, is
gifted with ability to discover facts
and weaknesses instantly, and is
seldom deceived in his judgment of
people with whom he comes in
contact.
He always insists on knowing the
ways and wherefores, and must be
given reasons for every action, mo-
tive and deed, and he has the ability
to secure the facts he desires, which
enables him to act promptly and
wisely in the affairs of his office.
Being an expert accountant and
bookkeeper his books have always
been found in perfect condition.
Since elected to office he has so
capably conducted our business af-
fairs that he has inspired the con-
fidence of all the railroad officials
and added dignity to the l. A. of M.
The only reward of virtue is virtue,
the only way to have friend is to
be one. Thought is the property of
him who can entertain it and of him,
who can adequately place it.
A man with ability to entertain
and adequately place thought has
many friends and is what he is from
nature.
We are not only fortunate but we
are proud to have a representative
such as Bro. James P. Wolfe.

REFERENDUM ON HOME FOR
AGED.

A referendum vote of the rank and
file of miners throughout the United
States will determine whether or not
homes for the aged and old age pen
sions shall be provided for veteran
coal diggers. This was determined
upon by vote of the convention of
United Mine Workers of American at
their recent meeting at Indianapolis,
after special investigating commit
tee had made its report. The refer
endum vote will be referred to the or
ganization and will come up for rati-
fication at the 1920 convention.

If you choose to represent the
various parts in life by different
shaped holes upon a table, some cir
cular, some triangular, some square,
and some oblong, and the persons
acting these parts by bits of wood of
similar shapes, we shall generally
find that the triangular person has
got into the square hole, the oblong
into the triangular, and square
person has squeezed himself into the
round hole.

and the thing done, seldom fit so

AS Viewed From
Different Angles

When a man purchases ten thou
sand bushels Of potatoes, places them
in warehouse for future sale, he is
in business. When a man purchases
five hundred bushels of potatoes,
places them in his cellar he is arrested
for boarding food. When a man buys
two links of summer sausage, he is
a dealer; when a man purchases one
link he is accused of boarding, be-
cause he cannot eat one whole link
at one sitting. When six hundred
bushels Of potatoes are placed in a
freight car and spoilt by freezing, it
is an act of God; when those potatoes
are kept in cellar the man is ar
rested for evading the food laws.
Perhaps by the time this war is over
we will have discovered that there
is such a thing as using a little COM
mon sense. When concern holds
million dozen Of eggs in cold storage
it is a conservationist; when a man
borrows enough money to purchase
two dozen eggs at one time he is
guilty of boarding. AS the puncher
of this typewriter never had the op-
portunity Of studying astronomy, he
must plead guilty to being an ig-
noramus when it comes to knowing
exactly how many tons of coal there
are in the moon, thus not being able
to qualify for one of the higher-sal-
aried position.-Cincinnati Chronicle.
