The Incorporation Of Trade Unions.

From the Boot and Shoe Recorder.
The trade union should he compelled
to come within the operations of the
law, as all other corporate bodies are !;
and until this IL done there can never
be peace and stability in industry. nor
constancy of work and wages for the
worker.
Once responsibility and obligation are
made compulsory by law what will re-
suit?
The union will be inspired and guided
by the moral standards OF the individ-
ual worker. The union will be real
democracy, and not the corporation de-
scribed as an organization without a
soul to damn or a body to kick. Re-
sponsibility. will bring prudence IL not
wisdom; leaders wiz be chosen with
more discrimination; all contracts and
bargains will be made with caution and
the knowledge that once entered upon
they must be lived up to; and strikes
as cures Of evils, II they come, will only
come after deliberation and Weighing
of consequences. and not as the result OF
impulse, whim, passion or the malice OF
the few.
Compulsory Incorporation Of trade
unions means no loss Of rights, privi-
leges or security to the collective body
It does mean an Increase of dignity
standing and Importance to the union
and It's membership It does mean a
steadying of the economic ship, a prom

Attractions of Passnic Falls and Gar

To THE EDITOR OF THE suN.-sir: Just
now the Passaic Falls at Paterson in
their autumn coloring are a beautiful
sight which is we'll worth the trip over
to see. II any OF your readers are in
want OF a place to go for Sunday
afternoon outing here is a chance.
One can come over by automobile
from any North River ferry, although
the roads from the 13oth street ferry
and the Dyckman street ferry are the
best. II one has no auto handy one can
come by trolley from l30th street or
from any ferry going into Hoboken. The
uptown ferry connects with the Hudson
River trolley, which affords beautiful
ride to Paterson. The fare Ia about
80 cents.
It is about half mile to the falls
from the trolley terminal. After view

Here you can see the country for
miles around. II It s a clear day look
TO the southeast and behold tho towers

Massachusetts, Beat the Mob.

Governor COOLIDGE, running for re-
election Ia Massachusetts on the Re
publican ticket, actually represented
the forces of law and order not only
in that Commonwealth but In all the
States of the Union. In his jurisdlc-
tion the issue between government by
the people and government by small
fraction Of the people was brought to
focus in the policemen's strike.
Governor COOLIDGE accepted 1t un-
flinchingly. He stood by the people.
and at the pole the people stood by
him, Notwithstanding the elaborate
campaign the beaten and disgraced
former guardians Of the peace in
Boston made in behalf Of LONG, the
Democratic nominee. The extraordl-
nary plurality given to Governor
COOLIDGE is q plurality for freedom
and for popular rule.
Governor CooLIDoE's splendid sue
cess means more than the reaf-
firmation by the electors Of Massa-
chusetts of their faith in popular gov
ernment and their determination that
the Government shall be supreme NOT
only over some Of the people but
over all Of the people. 1t means that
malicious men promoting revolution
self seeking men using social unrest
to serve their selfish ambitions, con.
scienceless politicians who seize on the
lowest passions of the basest element
In the community to win advance
ment, will be repudiated by the sens!
Bile and patriotic citizens who com
pose the overwhelming majority Of ths
electorate in other States as they
have been In Massachusetts,.
Massachusetts, with mixed popu
lation largely Of foreign birth or re
cent alien extraction, was challenged
by the mob. Governor COOLIDGE &c
cepted the challenge In the name Of
the State and beat the mob back anC
yesterday the electorate Of Massa
chusetts gave its unquestioning ant
unmistakable verdict Of approval o,
his course.
AS the mob was beaten in Massa
chusetts so 1t will be beaten In othel
States. America has not lost hel
respect for law and order and vii
stand by the public officers who per
| form their duties fearlessly.

irg's amendment to refer the Grand
Trunk and entire railway question to
commission was defeated on vote or
e1 to so this evening. The normal clear
ma jority of the Government is SO In
house Of 235 members. Other amend
ments will be offered by the opposition
during the third reading.
Notwithstanding its apparent strength
the Government fs threatened with
necessity for the dissolution of Parlia-
ment over the Grand Trunk bill. Elected
in December, 1917, on its war policy,
with a straight majority Of II over all
opposition, the Ministry is now faced
with defeat in the Senate on its railway
policy.
The normal majority of the Govern
ment in the Senate Is over 20. But
already there are nine Senators out
against the bill, and more may arise.
Popular opposition to the Grand Trunk
project is increasing as the terms OF
the deal are better known through the
campaign against It, Government sup
porters claim a majority of eight In the
Senate for the Grand Trunk, but that
Is hopeful guess.
Members of the Government and OF
both houses are somewhat perturbed

Ject the Grand Trunk bill and compel
an appeal ito the country. The Gazette

Taxpayers Oppose Bonus.


Will not be willing to pay any more, but
the discontented soldier element can only
be put at rest by a decisive vote in a
general election.
Oficial reports show that about 200,-
600 Canadians have gone quietly back
to work at their old jobs, or at new
and better ones But a restless minority,
mostly Englishmen, insist on additional
cash gratuities. They will continue to
sgitate until the people support a gov
ernment pledged against raids on the
treasury.
With a strong working majority in
the popular house, the government Is
under no constitutional necessity of dis
solution. They may hold on until June,
1928. But Sir Robert Borden Is a states
man of high political standards and will
not hold to Office If there is evidence of
the expediency of an appeal to the
people.
In two previous elections the railway
question was the issue. The first par
lament of Canada was dissolved, over
an election scandal in connection with
building the Canadian Pacific in 1872.
In 1904 the Laurier ministry went to the
country on the Grand Trunk Pacific pro-
ject and won public approval. 1t would
seem fitting that the proposal to pur-
chase the Crank Trunk, involving ac-
ceptance Of liability for s2l6,2o7,1Ss OF
/ debentures. and liability for the finding
OF the arbitrators on the value of $780,
424,325 of preference and common stock
| should be submitted to the people in a
| general election.
A government is not bound to appeal
to the country over an adverse vote OF
the senate. The naval policy of the
| first Borden ministry was reversed in
| 1919 and the war came along and lifted
the ministry out of any embarrassment
/ on that issue. A senate reverse now
! would undoubtedly be serious and would
! bring the prime minister back home
earlier than was intended. The minister
Of railways is receiver for the Grand
Trunk Pacific, SO 1t is imperative that
action on the Grand Trunk be taken
either by way of arrangement with the
parent grand trunk company or BY
liquidation OF the G p which would
Inevitably involve the Grand Trunk.
