FEELING BIRTH PANGS
OF new SOCIAL ORDER

The London Times which is looked
upon by con minded people
as the most influential paper in
Great Britain, is not alarmed over
what it terms "the new Industrial
ORDER"
'There is no reason says the edi
tor, ''why it should not come into
the world quite smoothly, if people
understand what is happening and
do not offer an unreasonig opposi-'
tion.' The Times declares that 1.-The
real meaing of the present turmoil
is that we are witnessing the birth
pangs of a new order" and that
there is nothing alarming at all in
this, provided: that changes are grad
ual and tentatively introduced and
the public underst tands what is going
on SO that false steps can be avoided
or retraced in time"
The Times has in mind negotia-
tions now on between the govern
ment and the Lowerful railway mems
union and also to the agitation OF
the, British Miners: Fedora ton for
the naturalization OF coal mines.
The inspiration back Of these trade
unions, says the Times, is what is
called guild socialism. The theory is
referred to as "a hybrid between state
socialism and 4yndicalis1n, but avoids
the evil Of Bureaucratic state con-
troll known as state socialism, and of
syndicalism, which would operate a
business for the sole benefit of the
unions in control.
Under guild socialism the industry.
would be owned by the state. but
controlled and run by the people Of
all grades working in it, organized
as: a guild. Railway and mines are
monopolistic in character, are COM
paratively easy to run with purely
technical staff and the workmen's
organizations in these callings are
more advanced, it is stated, towards
the guild model than in most other
industries. :. II

THE "NO.STRIKE" CLAUSE.

senatoff C:u1ninfn ,is has r4itbt not given up
hopes of establishing involuntary
servitudessln tbez4sUn#ed States. In
a speechsin thessenate he defended
observation-disclosures in his bill returning
the railroads back to their owners,
Il look upon it as a vital part not
only Of this bill but vital part of
our policy in the future so far as the
basic industries of America are con-
cerned.'
The Cummins bill provides that
after certain Investigations by a
board Of FIVE men shall have the
power of fixing hours Of labor for
railroad men and their working con-
ditions. The decision must be ac-
Cepted. If the railroad employees
strike they are fined or imprisoned,
or BOTH.
The employe must remain at work
or be penalized. AS the employe
must work he is victim of involun-
tary servitude.
But Senator Cummins has heard
from Iowa. The labor men there
are protesting against the bill and
his friends are trying to turn the
storm away by saying the Senator
was not in favor of the Involuntary
servitude features of the bill, but
, that he had to report them because
the committee had voted in their
favor.
Senator Cummins, however, is
taking credit to himself that he and
no one else is the author of the labor
clauses. And he states that while
they might not be the only solution,
and a. solution there must be-. 4ny
suggestions. from senators to-: make
them more binding would be thank
fully received
Many railroad employees are advo-
eating substitute for the bill. They
favor~a plan by which the wages OF
RAILROAD employees shall increase or
decrease with the cost of LIVING. IT.
is contended that if this. plan is
adopted there can be no strikes and
no law will be necessary to compel
a man to work.
Much opposition to this proposi-
tion, however, has appeared. 1t IS
contended that the finding of a. suit
able wage rate commensurate with
the cost of living would be difficult.
1t Is the starting point that is proving
the problem. Just how much rail-
road employe should receive when it
cost him $1,000 a year or any other
amount to live would have to be
decided. WHO wouh decide it? A
board appointed, by the Government
with arbitrary powers? These are
the questions asked and they are said
to be SO fundamental that. no one
has been found who can answer
them .''~ wy

Two interesting &na Instructive
items have been in the news: of tho

Robins said the mutiny took place,
challenged the colonel and declared
there was no mutiny. Col. Robins
says he will not make the charge
again until he reatfirms his faith
in his information.
Item No. 2-American troops,

THESE ARE TRUTHS NEEDED.

THESE ARE TRUTHS NEEDED.
Repetition is good. tor: the soul.
Hungary had fighting trade union
movement. This trade union move
ment drove out a asBoIshevik dicta-
torship led by Bella Kun. Russia
had no trade union movement cap
able of such energetic action. Rus
sia is swamped in Bolshevik tyranny.
Some people in America talk of the
labor movement as an autocratic
movement. They talk of the tyranny
of labor.
What rot! Trade unionism is as
truly democratic as anything human
society knows anything about. Trade
unions cannot live, except in per-
verted and 81 lnothered shape, unless
there is democratic government.
Trade pnienism> cannot preserve
itself unless democracy il preserved.
Trade unionism cannot survive under
the autocracy of Lenine any more
than under the autocracy Of a car
Trade uuionisrn is the healthiest
thing democracy can have within It.
1t is the greatest purifying agent:
1t is the agent Of progress and de-
velopment and improvement.

Took More Than His
Share OF The Load

The American Army of Occupa-
tion built a bridge at Coblenz, a
pontoon bridge, wide enough for
only one vehicle at a time. An Of
fetal of the Red Cross was forced
to wait at this bridge while Ger
man peasant woman, drawing a
cart loaded with vegetables, came
across. An American soldier do
ing sentry duty on the bridge,
walked along behind the cart as
tensibly for the purpose of hasten
ing the crossing. The Red Cross
official observed, however, that the
woman's pace was expedited by
more than verbal admonition; the
muzzle of the soldiers gun found
resting place at the rear of the
cart, and the soldier himself plod-
ded cheerfully along, pushing
rather more than his share of the
load. AS is customary when one
of his class is discovered in a deed
of chivalry or valor, a sheepish
grin spread over his face, and the
officials passports were rather
more brusquely and thoroughly
scrutinized than would ordinarily
have been the case.

The Hand Gives You Away

Hands are good mediums by
which to judge the character of
their owners. AS a rule the man
who has a taste for science has a
big hand, and bony one. He car
ries it loosely on his wrists. 1t is
not beautiful hand, as an artist
counts beauty; but it is true that
mere beauty does not often go with
the very highest character.
The man who possesses this
large, angular, knobby, capacious
hand never tells a lie, according
to "Tit-Bits." Moreover, he will not
pass a misstatement or an exag-
geration. 1t is this exactitude
which makes him a scientist, even
if his opportunities have never al
lowed him to study.
If the hand is not only large, but
instead of being knobby and ang,
ular is smooth and inclined to be
fat, it belongs to quite another
kind of person.
You will see that kind of hand
belonging to the well-contenteC
person opposite to you at a public
dinner, who is always calling foi
the wine list and scanning the
menu for fear he may be inedvert
emily missing something good.
The big, smooth hand is capac
ious. It is apt to be rapacious. /
is the hand of Mammon.
