GoMPERs' PRINCIPLES

Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor and
the most influential labor leader in
America. has submitted to the indus
trial conference in Washington set
of nine principles which he con-
siders fundamental. They are as
follows:
Right of wage earners to organize.
Right of collective bargaining.
Right of wage earners to be repre-
scented by representatives of their
own choosing in negotiations with
employers.
Freedom of speech, of the press.
and of assemblage.
Right OF employers to organize
and bargain collectively.
Minimum eight-hour day. with one
day of rest in each week, and with
a half holiday on Saturday encour-
aged and overtime discouraged.
Payment of living wage.
Women to receive the same pay as
men for equal work.
Prohibition of labor for children
under 16 years of age.
The list is worth studying careful
ly. 1t appears to be, on the whole,
rather conservative, as might be ex-
pected of American labor, in c0mpar-
ison with the more radical demands
Of European labor. Concerning most
of the principles there will be little
question among any considerable
class of citizens.
1t is taken for granted by most
Americans that wage-earners have a
right to organize" and consequent
ly a right of collective bargaining"
which is what organization is for.
Mr.. Gompers, in asserting them,
grants the same rights to capital.
There is general disposition, too,
to agree with the demand for an
eight-hour day and one day of rest
week. The Saturday half-holiday
seems to involve less principle.
Mr.. Gompers, however, merely asks
that it be encouraged" He is like
wise reasonable in asking that over
time be discouraged"
There can be no argument about
payment of a living wage" The
only question is, what is living
wage?
As for women receiving equal pay
with men for the same work. that
appears no more than a matter of
Justice to a sex hitherto discriminat-
ed against industrially.

That is, prices are high very largely
because everybody expects them to
be high. II everybody were to ex-
pect low prices, there can be little
doubt that prices would drop.
1t would be well il the public
would take this hint, stop failing
for" the high price talk and start a
low price propaganda OF its own.

NATIONS LEAGUE
FAVORED BY EDGE
New Jersey Senator Says He
VIII Vote 'ConSCientiOuSIy
and Enthusiastically Tor
All Changes in Covenant

Washington, Sept 30.-Aunouncing
that he would vote "eonscientiouSly
and Enthusiastically" fer al reservations
on the league of nations covenant,
Senator Edge. republican, OF New Ter
sey, told the senate today that if the
other nations did not want this coun-
try in the league of its own terms,
their sincerity certainly was open to
Question
Reservations as a part Of the reso-
luton Of ratification said Senator
Edge, will protect the sovereignty of
the United States very probably Wlth-
ont reference to the treaty and cove
nant TO the joint peace conference
and for that reason ! prefer reserya-
tons for textual amendments"
Senator Edge urged all possible
haste in treaty consideration, declaring
that its disposition would permit con-
gress to utilize all its energy and pow
er i'm the effort to solve domestic
problems, encourage increased pro-
duction and thus assure national
prosperity
senator Edge said he favored a
league OF nations, mot the league the
president brought home to us with its
uncertain and underlined commit
ments," but one that would prove to
the uttermost the sovereignty, indie
pendence and national and interna-
tioual rights of the United states.
81 believe it would be impossible
for this senate to get very far with
the rewriting or even amending Of the
instrument" he said. For illustra-
ton, agree with much that has been
said from the information at hand as
to the action in awarding Shantung 10
japan, and especially in the way it was
done, but yet, on the other hand, il
We attempted to change that award
and thus decide in Washington an is
sue between China and Japan, we are
doing the very thing that, it seems to
me. we should avoid-that is entering
into foreign entanglements and decid-
| ing an issue with only portion OF

TEDDIE AND HIS FRIENDS

Old Charleyhorse lived down at the
barn and ever since Teddy remem-
bered anything at all Charleyhorse had
lived there. Now, while Charleyh0rse
was quite the incest horse in the
world and just the wisest, too, as
Teddy boy could tel you, Teddy had
the surprise of his life one day when
Charleyhorse began to talk.
You see. it was one of those warm
bright afternoons in which 50 very
often fairy folks come to visit the lit
tie people instead of waiting until
night time, when Mr.. Sandman comes
around with his magic bag
Mr.. Sandman is a very jolly fellow,
by the way, and a great friend to the
fairies Every night, as | said before,
he comes around with his bag of sand
TO scatter over sleepy neads. Some
times, when the moon is every bit as
bright as daylight, the Pixies-who
are a mischievous lot to be sure-the
Pixies follow Mr.. Sandman and sweep
up some of the sand, using their little
cat teaser brooms and leaf for q
dustpan. Then what fun they have,
They put the sleepy sand in bags, do
the Pixies and they keep it until day
time.
In the bright drowsy afternoons they
creep up behind little girls and boys
and-Swish! goes bit of the magic
sand from the Pixie bags and not
even the most interesting of gam&
could keep the children awake.
Well, it was an afternoon after q
bright moonlight night that Teddy
heard Charleyhorse talk.
Teddy was sitting at the foot of 0
mound of hay in the loft He had just
had a splendid slide from the mound
and he was just resting for a moment
before climbing up again for another
slide when n voice came from Charley
horses stall below A
