NOAH's CLOSED: ONION.

News Tribune there appeared spread
across the top Of the back page this
quotation: "Noah took no chance
Of going up against a labor tieup
when he built the ark: he did the
job himself" To which The Labor
World retorted: "That's fib. The
ark was built by closed union of
the Noah family. Even the animals
had their little unions"
The News Tribune saw an opening
and cleverly landed it's left where we
didn't expect it with: "In this III
stance, then, the CLOSED shop saved
itself, and let the rest of the human
family drown. That is rather sad
commentary. on the principle of the
closed shop" TO which sentiment
we heartily subscribe.
It's always the way with "closed"
institutions. TO save the :':closed
shop" today its autocratic champions
would permit our government to be
wrecked on the rocks of discomfort
and unrest
Every real 'American should be
against the "closed union and the
CLOSED shop Labor unions that
have foolishly attempted to limit
their membership have miserably
failed. The only closed unions we
know anything about are the trusts
and associations Of employers that
have closed their doors to all new
corners and to the unfavored among
them, and such closed organizations
are defended by the newspapers that
are now assailing. the labor unions.
Competition, among the workers
compels them to keep their, unions
open to every eligible wage Garner.
They couldn't be closed if they
wanted to-.
For such reason the only Open
Shop in, American. industry. is the
Union Shop. The closed shop is a
non-union establishment. that denies
it's employees a voice in determining
their working hours, wages and con-
ditions Of employment. It is closed
to union men, or to union recogni-
ton which is the same. We have a
number of such institutions in Du-
luth parading as "open Shops" that
are securely closed to members of
unions. The advocates and defend
ers of the so-called "open shop" are
natural born ''closed shoppers They
are even: now demanding that the
unions close their doors. to alien
workmen, brought here. by the
"closed shoppers" during the days
when it seemed profitable to them to
have an abundant supply Of cheap
labor on hand, but who now are
| asking: for higher wages, shorter
hours and better conditions to meet
the new standards of life they have
attained by association with Ameri-
can workmen.

THRIFT
WINS

1t is the man who saves something
out of what he gets for working that
makes our most reliable citizen. II
is he we must look to for support
when bad luck comes our way or
we go down in some rainy day under
a cloud of trouble. 1t is he that
puts up the cash when Uncle Sam
gets into a fight. We had enough
Of these trusty and reliable citizens
last year to run big European war
into the ground, actually to swamp
the enemy with our wholesale pro-
duction of the things that win.
But why can not We .all be, more
or less reliable and useful in these
times of need? Sure, if we all were,
some of the resources of thrifty men
could be diverted from charity to
civic upbuild.
And SO, the war having demon
strated to everybody Americas most
unwarranted fault, improvidence, a
campaign of education is now on to
drive home the lesson of thrift
among the people.
France put up plucky fight
against the Hun, a real, life-blood
fight, and thrift was at the back of
the stamina of France. Without
that national tendency and those
years Of saving France must have
gone down to a speedy defeat The
world took a lesson from France in
that. America learned the primer
lessons of thrift. Let us see If it
may not grow to be our virtue, that
habit of putting something aside for
rainy weather.

PREACHING GOOD

A merchant possesses hard and
sound common sense, or else he is
not merchant for long. Merchan-
dising is a business wherein survive
the most practical minded. It is
merely matter of providing for sale
the things a public buys. Sounds
simple and easy, and isn't.
The public may be long suffering,
and may be put upon in many ways,
but it is noticed by the most casual
observer that everywhere good and
useful articles hold the market, while
inferior articles 60 by the by. A
grave yard of things that have not
made good in usage would take up
altogether too much room anywhere
but in a crematory. They disappear.
Markets are always full of saleable

things, so II is probably true that
most of them are of standard quality.
The merchant chooses them after
having experience In what makes
good and what doesn't. But every
merchant makes mistakes. The best
merchant makes the fewest.
One of the mistakes the best mer-
chant does not make is keeping mum.
He publishes facts about his wares,
and his advice is full Of practical
ideas; it is worth considering. He
does the most business. He survives.

How Much Will
Prices Decrease

In symposium Of statements
from a dozen leading men in
America, heads of great financial en-
terprises, gathered and published by
the department of labor, the con-
sensus of opinion seems to be against
any impending change in prices and
| wage scale.
Among these men were ]. Ogden
| Armour, Jacob H. Schiff, Theodore
n, Vail, Coleman Dupont, John D.
Ryan, julius Rosenwald and John
Hays Hammond. They predict new
and wonderful expansion for Amer
lean industry.
Statement by J. Ogden Armour
The greatest danger to our econ
omic structure today arises from the
! failure~of many to recognize new
and higher level of prices, based on
permanently increased cost of labor,
and high taxation.
Those who postpone building or
| buying in the hope of materially
lower prices, are specializing in the
future misfortune Of the nation. For
| falling prices, when reaching the
point where profit is eliminated,
mean panic, depression, unemploy-
ment, and other troubles.
In the final analysis rs per cent
of the cost of most commodities con-
hor, and reductions in the
market price Of commodities are,
therefore, inevitably reflected in the
compensation of labor.
Nothing in the labor situation war
rants any one in expecting materially
lower cost of commodities in general,
and building in particular. Wages
will not be less for several funda-
mental reasons, viz:
1. The practical stoppage of i'm
migration since 1914, depriving
America of the several million work
ers who would normally have come
to our shores.
2. The retention of the nations
military and naval establishments of
nearly 1000, 900 workers, which may
continue for an indefinite period.
3. The creation Of new industries,
such as shipbuilding, and manufac-
ing hundreds of thousands of work.
ture of chemicals and dyes, dequir-
ers.
4. The urgent demand for build
ing and construction of every class,
due to their having been forcibly
held back for several years.
5. The shortage Of the worlds
food supply.
s. The proportionately higher
levels of commodity prices existing
practically all over Europe.
On the one hand, then, we are fac
ing serious shortage of labor as
soon as we approach normal indus
trial activity, and on the other hand
there Is confronting us tremendous,
unsatisfied demand for many neces-
stiles which it was difficult or i'm
possible to obtain during the war.
Normally under such conditions
we could have expected a flood of
low-priced goods from the old world,
while now we find that prices in
Europe have risen proportionately
higher than in America, and
the demand for commodities and
labor, to make up for the wastage
of war, is even more keenly felt there
than here.
The manufacturer who now quotes
the lowest possible price consistent
with the high cost of labor, and
guarantees this to be so, doing his
buying freely on the same basis,
ranks as our highest type of patriotic
citizen. A new level of prices has
been established, from which there
can be no material recession until
inventive genius succeeds In CORE
spondingly increasing labor's pro-
ductive capacity by mechanical
means.
