CAN'T BUY GRAVEYARD.

There Is evidently not enough mon
ey in the world to cause a change of
heart among the members Of the lit
tie Merriman Baptist congregation of
Ranger, Texas. who have repeatedly
been importuned to lease the church
graveyard for the drilling Of an oil
well. No. that ground remains sacred
to the honored dead. One million dol
lars was recently refused for It and
the twenty-nine members supplement-
ed that decision by a statement that
no amount Of money would alter It.
This little church. already famous
through the discovery of oil. has an
assured income of 100000 a year with
more wells drilling on. the property.
Two are already producing and sew
eral thousand dollars has been paid
into the church treasury
1t was early resolved none of the
members should profit personally, but
the entire income should be devoted
to the glory Of God. To date 100000
has been distributed among various
Baptist institutions, the Ranger
church retaining but small percent
age Of the whole amount. Part Of this
% being used In the construction of a
lew edifice away from the chuE and
'latter Of engine and drill rigs.
Needless to say the membership of
he church is growing rapidly.

lection Of others against those evil
consequences becomes a matter of
iirst importance. But even this is not
the most vital matter to be consider
ed In connection with the question.
Drinking intoxicants Is an acquired
habit, one which even those who have
1t admit they would be better off
without This has been demonstrated
ia every state where prohibition has
been enforced. Why then should SER
ious consideration be given to restor-
ing system which tends to fasten
the drink habit upon each succeeding
generation? There can be no valid
reason for 1t and the American people
will never do it.

radical sentiment spurns both the
agreement with the company land
tacitly with the public and the
charter held from the national head
quarters.
Such an attitude. and the strike
action putting it in effect, do more
than cause loss to the company and
serious inconvenience to the public.
They strike at the fundamental basis
Of unionism-collective bargaining. II
that principle, so much e&tolled on
behalf of labor and of industrial har-
mony, is thus to be broken down.
and the sanctity of the bargain de-
stroyed at will, a most serious blow
is struck at the very cause of labor
itself. 1t is a suicide Of self-interest
Forfeiture of public good will Is the
least penalty to be expected. A legal
phase of damage from contract breach
would seem not beyond argument.
The assumption that bargain can
be broken by one party to it-and on
ly one-at any time and for any
whim, whenever that party believes
| It. has the power to win In ensuing
conflict, Is in it's own sphere man
Hesitation of the way of thinking and
acting that brought Germany to guilt
and ruin.
Such exhibitions not only cast dis
credit on lack of union discipline in
the treatment accorded to national
officers-who have learned to know
better than these hotheads. A brok-
en- word is a weak weapon wherewith
to seek fight. The carmen will learn
that in their own communities.

strike. For stepping into the breacl
and saving the organization from thi
being highly commended His appea
was to the patriotism and common
sense of the delegates and 1t won tn
day. Harvey's Weekly credits tn
secretary with averting a calamity t
organized labor and says:
For a calamity 1t would have
been. A calamity, not to our So
cial system as organized, but a
calamity to organized labor. That
the contemplated strike would
have had the slightest effect on
the orderly processes Of our ju-
dicial proceedings Is quite impos-
sible. Our system of trial by
jury would go right on as usual.
Our courts as usual would go
right on In their established pro-
cesses of adjudication. II fed
eral and state constitutions are to
be amended that a labor strike
shall have the effect of reversal
over conclusions of law and fact
reached by judges and juries, such
amendments will come in the
ways made and approved by the
constitutions themselves If, in
the opinion of the people of the
United States, 1t Is better that an
Amalgamated Benz hof Walking
Delegates have revisionary dis
erection over our court decisions,
the people of the United States
doubtless viii compass that end
by their own deliberate and or
derby methods. 1t is just as GER
tain that they will not be coerc-
ed to that end by strikes, or
threats of strikes, as 1t is that our
courts, as constituted, will not be
swayed by the breadth of hair
from the performance of their
sworn duty by any such overt
processes of intimidation.
when we reach that bridge we
shall cross it. We shall cross 1t
in our own time and in our own
way Very certain it is that we
will not be stampeded and hus-
tied over 1t by any such coercion
as a nation wide strike. Such a
strike, based on such purpose,
would be set back to the coun-
try, but the country would speed
lily recover the lost ground. To
organized labor it would be dis
aster. 1t would mean a loss of
prestige which many years might
not suffice to recover. 1T Is a mis-
fortune to organized labor that
such a project could even be sug-
gested by responsible labor lead
ers. In temperate, but none the
less weghty language Secretary
Wilson impressed these facts on
his labor federation hearers. The
declarations good eommonsense,
apparently, has endorsed and ac-
cepted his excellent advice"

, In spite of the fact that state after
state has adopted prohibition, thai
with impressive unanimity the legis-
latures of the various states have rat
flied the constitutional amendment

do so by the president, there are many
reaction in public sentiment on The
liquor question which will in time r.-
store legal recognition to the manu-

the saloon is gone forever but con-

The fight for prohibition has ueen
going on for years, led in the begin

liquor traffic. Their position may he

The Ship of State
(Henry w. Longfellow)

Thou, too, sail on, o Ship Of State!
Sail on, o onion, strong and great!
Humanity with all Its fears.
With all the hopes Of future years.
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know. what Master laid thy keel,
What workmen wrought thy ribs of
steel,
Who made each mast and sail, and
rope,
What anvils rang, what hammers beat,
In what a forge and what heat
Were shaped the anchors of thy hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and
shock,
'Tis of the wave and not the rock;
'Tis but the Tapping of the sail,
And not rent made by the gale!
In spite of rock and tempest's roar.
In spite of false lights on the shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes, are all with
thee,
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our fears,
Are all with thee-are all with thee.

UNioNlziNG STEEL INDUSTRY.
Boston News Bureau)


Unionizing of the iron and steel in
dustry, as proposed by the Amalga-
mated Association of Iron, Steel and
Tin Workers, is more easily said than
done, in the opinion of business men
of prominence.
1t is pointed out that similar at
tempts in the past have been unsuc-
cessful, and that there is little in the
present situation that should cause
even union men to be hopeful of sue
cess as wage rates and working con-
ditions in at least the larger OPEN
shop steel plants are as good or bet
ter than in the union plants. Fur
thermore, leading producers have
either openly declared themselves
against union recognition or are known
to have that view of the matter, and
tc change them from such an attitude
would be no small task.
Collective bargaining between en-
ployers and employees has made con-
siderable progress. In such an ar
rangement, however, employers deal
with committees of their own employees
and not with professional labor agita-
tors from the outside. 1t is, therefore,
not Objectionable, and thus far has in
the main proved satisfactory where
tried. Developments in relations be-
tween employers and workmen prob
ably will be in the direction of collect
i've bargaining insofar as there Is any
change from existing conditions.
The current week is also witnessing
the annual conference between repre-
sertatives of the Amalgamated associ-
alton and manufacturers recognizing
the union, at Atlantic City. Union is
demanding the 6-hour day for sheet
and tinplate men and wage advance
OF 25 per cent to maintain earnings at
the present level in event shorter day
should be granted
This is not the first time the 6-hour
day has been sought by these work
men, and there Is no indication that it
will be won this time. In addition to
being a somewhat revolutionary step,
it would also further curtail labor
supply at time when the outlook in |
this respect is none too promising, and |
cause such an advance in COSTS and
so in prices on finished products. as
to be a great handicap to domestic in
terests in foreign markets and also
might reduce home consumption.
A large sheet and tinplate producer
says that on the basis of a rs per cent
advance over present rates even In a
,-hour day a sheet mill roller under
favorable working conditions would be
,ble to earn from $40 to $55 a day, de-
bending on the kind of material we.
we're handling. s
It is possible that even union lead
RS are not very hopeful of gaining |
urther material concessions either as s
.ffecting wage rates or hours of en- {
'loyment at this time. Persistent eff t
orts, however, place them in the eyes c
( the membership rank and file as be- r
ng constantly vigilant for the inter- q
SITS of the organization. q

SECRETARY OF LABOR WILSON
GIVES SOUND ADVICE.

There was evidently a strong ele-
ment among the delegates to the con
vention of the American Federation OF
Labor at Atlantic City that favored a
general strike on the Fourth of July
as protest against the conviction of
Mooney and it is probable that the
speech of Secretary of Labor Wilson
is all that prevented the convention

destruction, tells you the world is all
wrong, that you are a wage slave and
that the wage system should be wiped
out, Is liar and you know 1t.
The world is better today than 1t
ever was you are getting more money
for shorter hours than ever before and
working conditions are better.
The agitators are merely using you
to destroy a system of government
that has made these progressive steps
possible.
III you came from foreign country
you know that living and working con-
ditions are better here than where you
came from and you wouldn't go back.
Ii you are an American you are a
yellow dog If you let these revolutions
airy leaders use you as a tool to help
wreck this country.
No one blames you for constantly
trying to better your condition, for the
man who Is so meek that he never
|
time trying to keep his head above
water.
There Is great difference between
striving to better yourself, and the
bolshevik program which would mere
ly turn industry over to the workmen
and rob the owners.
Who are the owners of most indus
tries? They are men. women and
even children who bought the stock.
The majority of them work just as
hard as you ever thought of working
and their savings of lifetime have
made 1t possible to develop the indus
try which makes your job possible.
You have had it preached to you
that labor creates all and that the
man who wears shoes and collars and
has property got them by your labor
and that you. have a right to take
back your own
Now just let this soak into your
head, without capital to back up your
labor, you wovld still be wandering
around and eating roots or killing
each other to make soup of.
In ages gone by some man had to
accumulate something of value (cap-
itaD which offered the incentive for
work and trade and finally made the
employment of labor possible, thus
raising human. beings above the stage
of anima,s.
The revolutionary agitator gives you
nothing, but if he keeps on he will
bring wreck and ruin to industrial
undertakings, and with that unem-
ployment. You will then find that |
you can not eat labor and that labor
without capital will not produce food. |
This is plain talk but the time is
here to call spade spade, liar a
liar and a fool fool
You can't afford to be made fool of
now.
The man who causes a strike,
causes you to lose more money than
IAN ever be repaid.
The world is progressing for the
better and the workingman will get
he lions share Of the benefits.
