There is a smiling irony in the de-

1t is a matter Of historical record
that that indemnity cursed the peo-

their rulers to shackle the burden OF

vention. drive of Oct. IS to 81 in
elusive is none the less one of the
most important of the multitude OF
drives we have had. 1t is not only
for the purpose of melting the en-
ployes of the railroad to the use of
more precautions and vigilance
against accident Of any kind, but to
interest the public in the same line
Of action. It is said to be fact that
a large percentage of passenger ac-
cidents on railroads is due to the
carelessness of the travelling public
hence the need Of the drive to edu-
cate the people.

vietimized Labor

Why do workn1en organize them
selves into unions? The answer that
has always been made is that only
as the men are organized can they
hope to bargain successfully with
their employers in regard to hours
OF labor, wages. working conditions
and such matters. II workmen had
a matter to present they consolidated
themselves into a group and sent a
delegation Of their members to state
their case to their employers and to
work for the settlement Of the dis
puted point. So far, SO good.
But a change has come in the
manner and purpose Of organizing
workmen. The Boston Optical
Workers Union is an example.
About a month ago the union was
formed. The employers thereupon
decided that they would not employ
union workers. The result was a
strike. so quiet and undemonstrative
that the general public knew moth
ing about it. The Massachusetts
State Board OF Cancellation offered
to hear the case and the offer was
accepted. The employers stated
their position as opposed to the re-
cognition Of unions and to the en-
ployment Of union men. A general
organizer, Frank H. Mccarthy, from
the American Federation of Labor
appeared for the employees and told
Of his efforts to organize them, and
Of the results. Two interesting bits
of testimony were brought out in the
questions put to the president Of the
local union and to woman who had
been made financial secretary.
Commissioner Wood of the State
Board asked: "Why did the optical
workers organizer"
President Duffy Of the union an
swered: i don't know. Nothing
has been demanded. I don't know
who organized it."
Commissioner Wood asked the
financial secretary practically the
same question: why did they OF
ganizc a union?"
She replied: Il don't know. was
sway on my vacation at the time,
tat when I came back they told me
about it and l thought l would bet
ter myself, and the boys said they
wanted me for financial secretary"
This testimony is typical. The
union germ, is In the air and 1t in
fects all groups OF workmen. 1t is
especially fatal when administered
and steered by general organizer"

the steel workers were led into the

Gould Against Police Jnion-"Can'
not osrve Two Masters"

The statement Of Hon. Norman J.
Gould, Representative from New
York, and member of the House Dis
trict Of Columbia Committee, IN ex-
nlanatior OF his resolution to pronlo.t
members Of the Washington Police
Force from joining or adhering 10
labor unions goes right to the heart
Of the matter, and should be pasted
over the desk of every governor ana
MAYOR in the land. 1t Is, in part, as
follows:
1.-The attempt 10 unionize police
forces throughout the United states
Is the closest approach to the apph-
cation Of practical Bolshevism That
has appeared Oh this side OF the AT
lantic. 1t Is based upon precisely the
same theories as the Soviet of Russia.
"A policeman Is as much a soldleT
in time of peace as a doughbcy Is IN
war, He is sworn to carry OFT the
law. He cannot serve two masters.
He Is the agency upon which the law
and the Constitution rely for their
enforcement. If he falters in his
duty to the lawful authorities then
the law is vacated and the mob is
supreme.
1.-THE theory of the union Is based
upon the right Of collective bargain
ing. There is no other theory upon
which it could last over night. A
power behind the application OF this
theory is the strike!
"a police union assumes the right
of collective bargaining in relation
to the government which 1t is sworn
to serve and defend. Such an as
sumption Is unthinkable. II the very
agencies organized and employed to
carry out the orders Of the govern
meht have the right to question those
orders and to defeat them through
collective bargaining. with a strike
as the alternative, then it is quite
manifest that the government is di-
vided against itself.
There Is only one method Of col
lective bargaining In relation to this
Government and that is the ballot
box with the power OF public opinion
as the great and logical means Of
forcing Justice. 1t has never failed
heretofore and am unwilling mat
1t should be determined by any sys-
tenn of Bolshevism."
The effrontery Of the labor organi-
cations in attempting to unionize and
bolshevize governmental agencies is
here met with rejoinder which
appeals to sane Americanism and
should put crimp in further pro-
proceedings to subject government to
the control OF class despotism.
