THE DIRECTOR HAD SOME 50 PIECES IN
ACTION"

Brethren Of the honorable profession Of journal
ism, there hag been born TO us, out in the little
old town Of San Diego, Cal, a new genius in the
form Of a musical critic whom we commend to
any aesthetic publication Of the effete east that
needs scintillation on it's staff.
Having acquired az permanent residents such
celebritis az Schumann- Heink, Nine. Darsch, Aus
tin Adams and John D. spreckels, San Diego felt
that she had grown TO the need Of a municipal
band. Then, too, there was the necessity Of
cheering up the visiting tourists while they were
in her midst. Nothing like band music to soothe
the breast made savage by tourist hotel rates,
familiar real estate agents, etc, etc And, really,
band musicians are 10 thick in San Diego that
you step on them while doing your ordinary mar
keting But, che buys no pig in poke, or band
either, and, 80, the other day, San Diego's pro-
poSed municipal band had TO assemble and show
what it could do, or was likely TO do, to COM
mjttee Of business men and the common council
men, all Of whom are az musical az parrots. And
the critic Of the Daily Union reports

HE TAUGHT HIMSELF TO FLY

Major Albert D. Smith, who commanded the
army flyers on the first transcontincntaI air trip
was in the army aeronautics service before our
declaration Of war. He has the unique record of
teaching himself TO fly in a machine built entirely
by himself.
he first flew eight years ago, at Spokane, Wash

nautjcB, and had read Of Glenn Curtss' planes.

After perfecting himself as pilot, Smith gave
series Of exhibition flights in various parts Of
the country. He received an offer from the Jap
anese government to 90 to Toxic and take charge
OF the development OF aeronautics for the Jap
anese army While waiting at San Francisco for
steamer, he visited the United States army
flying field at San Diego Officers there persuad-
ed him to give up the Japanese appointment and
enter the United States service.
He IL regarded as one of the most efficient
pilots IN the army. In 1914 he led the aerial
search into Mexico for the two lost pilots. Lieut..
Robertson and Major Bishop. When war was de-
clared. Major Smith was made one Of the test

that the effort on the part of nature to

PROHIBITION UP TO VOTERS
People Will Pass on National PrOhi-
bitiOn at November Election

Columbus-Ohio voters will decide
at the November election whether or
not this state ratifes the federal pro-
hibition amendment, unless the de-
cision of the state supreme court is
reversed by the United States su-
preme court.
By vote of to 1 the state su-
preme court holds that the ratification
of a federal constitutional amendment
as we'll as enactment of law, is a
Legislative act, in fact, "the highest
function of legislation" and points to
the referendum amendments of the
constitution, which says: "For the
express purpose of allowing the peo-
pie of the state to participate in the
legislative act of ratification of pro-
posed amendments to the federal con-
stitution."
The ratification referendum amend
ment was adopted last fall in Ohio.
The suit in the supreme court was
brought by G. S. Hawke, Cincinnati,
who sought to enjoin Secretary of
State Smith from putting the vets
referendum on the November ballot.

EARLY IN THE GAME

Henry Clay commented on the eco
nomic situation in the United States
in a speech which he made to the
Senate in 1882, ga friend of mine
in this city bought in Illinois last fall,
about 1000 acres of this refuse land
at the minimum price for which he
has lately refused six dollars per
acre. 1t is a business, very
profitable business, at which fortunes
are made in the new states to pur-
chase these refuse lands, and without
improving them, to sell them at large
advances"
Clay was arguing to prove that the
national domain was really valuable
and not "refuse" land as one of his
opponents had insisted.
In those days of the early settle
ment of Illinois a land boom set the
values at $6 a acre. Henry Clay
cited the incident to show how some
men might get rich without working
by buying and selling land. Little did
he dream of the lengths to which
this neutrality-suspicious. prosperity
would lead.
Between 1900 and 1910 the value of
Illinois farm land increased 1876
millions or 104 per cent. in ten years.
A recent report carried in a New
York financial paper notes sales of
three farms at Champaign, ILL.,, for
$400 per acre; and another farm at
Kankakee, 100 acres for $68,0OO ($425
per acre). For each dollar of ad-
ditional land va4ue, the users Of land
products pay or cents a year in
rent or interest. On billion dollars
the annual charge is fifty million dol
lars.
If people could have known in 1882
the staggering burden of land value
increases that were lying in wait for
their descendants, they might well
have saved this generation the labor
that will be involved in converting so
huge a special interest as that now
represented by land-lordism in the
United States in a community bene-
fit. Such a change can be made in
one way-and only one. The land of
the United States must belong to the
people of the United States-just as
the rivers and harbors do-and must
be used, as the rivers and harbors are
used-not for private profit but for
community benfit.

DO YOUR PART

Take an active part in the labor
movement. Put your shoulder to the
wheel and become real live members
in this noble cause, aiding to bring
about the dawn of better day.
There are so many members of or
ganized labor who do not give their
union thought. If there is anything
to be done they say let so and so do
it. He knows more about it than | do.
Besides, | am tired and must work
tomorrow, for | have a living to make
for my family.
Let every member do his part in
the making of an effective union. Let
every member pool his interest with
his fellow co-worker and foster the
principles of human brotherhood by
demanding the union label and by
attending lodge every meeting night.
Brothers, you have one lesson to
learn if you will deal with employers
or companies. You must stand to-
gether as one man and demand the
emblem of fair labor on all goods you
purchase. By so doing you help the
other fellow to work under the same
union conditions that you work under
and by helping the other fellow you
help yourself.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-10-03
THE STEEL WORKERS

Have the steel workers learned
their lesson? 1t has been a slow
one, and better one, but its moral
is plain.
Nearly thirty years ago, the steel
workers were among the best or
ganized in the United States. After
years of struggle they had won
wages and working conditions that
were the envy of the labor world.
Then came the crushing defeat at
Homestead; the loss of union pres
tige, and the transformation of the
steel industry into one of the great
non-union trades of which there have
been so many in the United States.
Hours were heightened, wages were
reduced; the conditions of labor be-
came almost intolerable There was
a line always waiting at the gate,
and the men suspected of "unionism"
found his place filled by another. A
remnant among the highly skilled
men retained their union, but the
great mass of semi-skilled and un-
skilled workers employed in the
steel mills-most of them of for
eign birth-received little or no at
tention. They were the scum of the
earth, and were treated accordingly
as such.
Labor scarcity during the war
wrought the crisis. High prices fore
ed the issue. Today hundreds of
thousands of the steel workers are
organizing to demand their share of
the bounties of life. Have they learn
ed their lesson?
Through the bitter years that fol-
lowed 1892 the steel industry was
one Of the most highly protected in
dustries in the country. In 1909 the
Pittsburg survey revealed the in
tolerable conditions surrounding the
lives of the steel workers in Pitts
burg and the neighboring towns.
The tariff did not save them.
During the past ten years grist
of accident, compensation, and in
surance laws have been ground out in
the legislative halls of the different
states. These laws have not made
the position of the steel workers any
more endurable. ~
The workers, and the workers
alone, can save themselves. They
can save themselves through organ
ization. They can save themselves
through an organization that en-
braces all of the men and women en-
ployed in the steel industry. They
can save themselves by controlling
and directing the shops in which they
are employed. There is no other
way. Have the steel workers learned
the lesson?
