Uniion1zlnQ College Professors

There is more of novelty in the name of As
ISOLATED Teachers union than there is in the
fact that its purpose is to organize educators of
college and university rank along lines hardly
distinguishabe from those long since found
necessary or essential to the protection and well
fare of industrial workers. Already and for
many years past professional men of various
kinds. including the lawyers and the DOCTORS
have had their national state and county asso-
Citations, exercising over their members and over
outsiders powers analogous to those of the labor
unions-and, like them, sometimes illustrating,
too, the very human tendency to abuse powers
as we'll as to use them.
The professors carefully explain that their
union will never strike in sympathy with other
unions. Whether or not that is superiority or
inferiority, in comparison with the unions
that do indulge in sympathetic strikes, depends
upon the point of view, but it at least indicates
that these more highly placed teachers are not
as class conscious" as are the members of or
binary unions-in other words, that they do not
identify themselves fully, as yet, with labor"
The failure or refusal to do this will be
source both of weakness and of strength
weakness In times of war between themselves
as labor" and those who pay their salaries
and strength when the relation is peaceful AT
weapon indicates that the professors are wise
enough, or cautious enough, not to invite the
kind of criticism that would be hardest to meet,
as they would do if they announced the inten-
ton to take part in conflicts not their own or
to seek aid in attaining their ends from beyond
their own numbers.-New York Times.

Underwood or Hitchcock

momentous decision is to be arrived at in
Washington tonight if the program is carried
out. The democrats of the senate will decide
which is TO be boss of the minority, and the
choice lies between Gilbert Mcneil Hitchcock
of Nebraska and Oscar Underwood Of Georgia.
The Underwoodtes are anticipating possible
defeat by setting up protest against the calling
OF the conference when considerable number
Of their faction is out of bounds and can not
be brought back in time to vote. They charge
Hitchcock with bad faith in this If, the ques-
ton were to be settled by seniority, the Ne

credited author Of what Mr.. Wilson has de-
nominated the best tariff law the United States
ever had. Republicans will not worry great
deal over the point as the decision is not likely
to seriously affect the course of legislation or
mark an epoch in history. 1t is of some inter-
est to note, though how harmonious the breth-

Cutting Down Expenditures.

"A welcome message comes from Washing
ton, Majority Leader Mondell having an
nounced that the 1921 appropriations will be
pared to the limit. The present congress already
has shown what 1t can do along the economy
line. Through monumental exercise of legis-
latve incompetence, the democrats failed to
complete the job of making appropriations be-
fore the party lost its control of congress in
March At the time they alleged the appropria-
ton bills were defeated by republican hlibus-
ter. If so, it was good thing for the country,
for even with the rush incidental to having but
fortnight to give to the job when called in
special session, the republicans succeeded in
Topping a billion dollars off the measures the
democrats had sought to put through, saving
the taxpayers just that much. The tax levy
could not be changed as it had been irrevocably
fixed by the democratic congress. With this
record already established, it is very certain
the expenditures for the following year will be
held to limit as low as the proper admins
tration of national affairs will permit. This
mean. lower taxes for 1921, and consequent
relief from the strain borne for the last three
years. Mr.. Mondell thinks estimates may be
cut by at least billion dollars. If this is true,
it will effect further saving in taxation of more
than half billion, after allowing for the half
billion deficit created by the funding of interest
on loans to foreign governments. The nation
will welcome policy Of rigid economy

from the war

Another eHigh Cost Inquiry.

The attorney general of the United States is
going to start another inquiry into the high
cost of living, this time clothing to be the sub
ject of inquiry. Perhaps in good time some
thing may come out Of all this investigation,
just as we expect that eventually the law of
supply and demand will bring better adjust
ment. Up to now the inquiries set on foot by
Mr.. Palmer have been of no more service or
avail than were those of his predecessor. In
fact each new step taken by the Department of
Justice to locate and head off profteering has
been marked by another notch in the upward
climb Of prices, and some of these notches are
quite spread apart. Mr.. Palmer may think
he can kid the people along" ali the time, but
most Of them are getting suspicious and want
to BE- shown.

Reduced to Simplest Terms

The following extract from Secretary W.
B. Wilson's annual report for the Department
Of Labor reduces the problem of industrial
peace to its lowest and simplest terms:
We are all interested in industrial peace
But there can be no permanent industrial
peace that is not based upon industrial
Justice Nor is it permissible that
either side to an industrial controversy be
the sole judge of what constitutes justice.
The means must exist by which ali men
may know that justice has been secured.
Such means" do exist and are within reach.
It only remains to establish them in concrete
and working form, and when they have been
fairly and impartially established for determn-
ing justice as between industrial disputants they
will have been established to make known to
all that justice has been secured.
But they cannot be established when capital,
BY rejecting the principle of collective bargain
ing. insists upon being the sole judge Of what
constitutes justice in any controversy. And
they cannot be established when labor, by re-
jecting the principle of binding arbitration,
insists for its side upon being the sole Judge
OF what constitutes justice in any controversy.
The way to industrial peace lies clear enough
ahead. Only the refusal of combative and
stubborn element both among large organiza-
tions Of capital and large organizations Of labor
now blocks the road, and they must be made
to get out Of the way.-New York World.

uNscRAMBLINo THE PACKERS.

Out Of the msts that surround the meat
packing industry just now one fact shines clear.
Meat eaters must have meat, and this must be
prepared for their uses through some agency.
Whether Il will be to their advantage to have
multiplied the toll-takng elements Of this agency
that intervenss between the producer and con-
sunner Is to be demonstrated by experience.
Will it make any material difference In the
cost Of living if one form of food 10 controlled
by one combination Of dealers and producers
and another by anotherf 10 the tribute-payer
especially concerned ~ to who gets the extra
profit taken from him?
Aside from this, the victory of the govern
ment over the big Five" packers Is Of academic
interest chiefly. To require that the immense
combinations of capital refrain from operating
under unified control may avert the danger of
the threatened monopoly" but It will not do
away with the necessity for the employment of
that capital in the preparation and distribution
Of the various articles in which the demoblized
organization was concerned.
As matter of fact, the big packing COM
panies had proeeeded4so far In the way of re-
organizing their business into separate units
that the exactions Of the decree had been met
particulars are not likely to be so readily ad-
justed The sale of stock yards shares, pre-
ferably to live stock producers and the public
involves something more than mere declara-
ton on part of the government of demand and
on part of the packers of acquiescence. 1t may
be questioned if the public will show any more
enthusiasm over the purchase Of government
regulated stock yards than it has for the gov
ernment-controlled railroad shares. This also
must wait on the future.
Finally q matter of no particular Importance,
conhning the use Of packer-owned refrigerator
cars to packer-produced commodities may be
the means of some inconvenience to other ship
pers.. However, this may be regulated 50 that
the cars may be of utmose service to the public.
Cynical observers will recall as they read the
congratulatory messages exchanged between
the government officials what happened when
the Standard Oil company was dissolved 1t
is possible that nothing of the kind will ensue as
result of the settlement with the packers, but
il il equally possible and more probable that
the business will suffer but little through being
Invested Of its side lines.
The main thing is that Americans yet dis
trustful of too great combinations OF capital \
employed and directed by corporations Real
izing the tendency to combination and the ad-
vantages that arise from proper consolidation
breeds insistence on limitation Of the activities
Of associated capital. This attribute of true
democracy is determining factor and must al
ways be reckoned with in any clash between the
public and the trusts"
