:. PROFIT SHARING

p: It may as well be explained right
now, that labor wants none, 81 your
profit-sharing or welfare schemes,
says the labor editor. He declares
that labor wants the right to organ
lze, to bargain collectively and to be
paid living wages. without. any of
the frills or bonuses that are used to
mlslead the unwary into the belief
that they are receiving something IN
der the head of benevolencA or that
the boss is a wonderful philanthropic
person..
The nomenclature &C profit. sharing
is singualrly .icn in equivocal terms.
Loyalty-1s the employe to ! be
wholly loyal to his employer and not
first loyal to himself? How loyal is
an employer to his furnishers Of raw
material? He is loyal to them only
so long as they sell him. what he
wants at the lowest market rate?f
Efficiency-Never to be missed. in
any lecture or discourse on profit
sharing. This term points to push,
grind, and hurry to the exhaustion of
the employe, despite its admitted
legitimacy up to the point of physical
abilities.
Profits-Is the withholding of 5 or
10 per cent from the employees pay
envelope during the year and return
ing. it to him at an appointed annual
date, sharing of profits or a mere
restitution Of withheld earnings-Ok-
lahoma Federationalist.

"The: third day He shall rise again

The Man, had died on the cross,
And they laid Him in the tomb;
The Living Stone, in the stone,
The: Rock in the rock-hewn room;-
They left him alone with Death,
And sealed the stone at: the doors.
They made the sepulchre sure,
And set their watch before.

LABOR'S NEXT FIGHT.

The state tinsurHnce bill, was again
defeated: in the senate Friday last.
It is said that the fight against the
passage. of the: proposed act cost the
insurance companies 100000. They
have got another fight coming, and
it will be a dandy.
Organizeds labor, will go before the
next legislature with but one bill,
and that'will be>for state insurance.
beware of the man with one book, "
said the, greatest: writer the world
ever knew. And we:say to the in
surance companies and to the state
legislature: "Beware of labor when
it has but one bill to present."
The argument for state insurance
is one-sided. Employers went to St..
Paul at the instigation of the claim
agents, heard the arguments, and
came home converts to state insur-
ance. They will never be able to
line up the same bunch of employers
again against the bill.
Labor must begin now to lay its
plans for sending the right kind of
men to the legislature. The insur-
ance agents are already on the job.
No man like Pittinger must ever
again represent Duluth district.
Senator Adams must be made to see
the light even if the fight is to be
carried before the county board
where he gets his main bread and
butter. Labor has got. to win and
everything is fair in the fight.
When we: know how the insurance
federation< used it's every resource to
get support we will not be blamed
for using ours. 1t is going to be a
fight to. a finish and the next election
will be- determined on the question
of state insurance.

OUR NATION CALLS AGAIN.

Next week the great. national drive
begins for the sale of $4,000, 900
of Victory Liberty bonds. The
money to be derived from the sale
of these securities will be used to
defray the final costs of the war to
the United States.
This is our debt and it must be
paid. 1t is expected that the people
of the country will answer: this call
of the country promptly and as 10y
ally as when our boys were facing
the Germans on No Mans land! and
when we knew not how the tide OF
battle would turn. J:
Our nation comes out OF the war
more fortunately: than any, other
country. o ur boys are coming home.
Our institutions are safe. =: The fu-
ture is bright with promise. We
have much Ito be thankful for. We
have a government of which any
people should be proud. That gov
eminent: needs our assistance once
more. It is every mans duty to come
to it's rescue.
Our pa riotism and enthusiasm did
not; die with the signing Of the arm
istice. Both should be very much
alive at all times, The proof of it
will be shown in the way we pur-
chase Victory bonds next week.
Don't wait for the statesmen to call.
They are volunteers and their time
is valuable. Go to them. Make up
your minds how far you can go, and
buy to the limit. -.
Every ioyaf American can be de-
pended upon te!do his full duty now
as he did when fire and shell were
being poured across the Prussian
lines; our;nation is calling; let
every patriot respond.

THE. "WHY, IN THE CASE.

Bolshevism is the talk of" the
world today. Perhaps it will be the
talk for some time.
1t all started in Russia. It has
spread to Hungary.| 1t has strengh
in Germany and its advocates are in
every nation. Holland was almost
captured four months ago. We: have
a few Bolshevists in Duluth. We
heard one speak the other day. He
advocated the establishment OF a
Soviet government right here. He
advocated moving the city council
down to the Federated Trades As
sembly.
What is this Bolshevism? Let's
know all about it. We've read about
great violence in Bolshevist-RGs-
STA, and about many other unpleas-
ant things. But violence wouldn't
necessarily prove great DEAL:
The Labor World prints this week
an article that goes to the bottom
of WHY Americans must hustle Dol
shevism with an undying hate. 1t
advances the central idea of the case
against Bolshevism. 1T completely
clinches: the case for Americans.
Every labor man knows Chester

party up to the time of the St. Louis

LAND VALUES INCREASE
THROUGHOUT COUNTRY

Farm lands in the United States are
increasing in; value, reports
the department Of agriculture. The
average grade. of plow lands was
worth about $74.S1 per acre on March
1 this year, compared with $ts.ss a
year ago, $62.17 two years ago and
1888 three years ago.
The greatest percentage increase
during the last year occurred in the
south Atlantic states, in the Carolinas
and Georgia. and extended to Alabama
Kentucky and ARKANSAS. Small or no
increases were made in the New Eng
Land states, the Pacific coast states
and Louisiana, Texas, Kansas and
Montana. Material increases we're re-
ported from Nebraska and South Da-
'kota.
1owa's ploWing lands stand first in
value, the average being $3.50 peracre.s
followed by Illinois with $144; Cali
fornia with: 1921 and Indiana with
500. Alabama reports the lowest av-
erage value at $24 per acre, and Miss

PROTECTED CHILDREN:
BEHIND FRENCH LINES

announcing the forthcoming in
ternationalt child labor conference, to
be held in Washington next May, the
children's bureau Of the? department Of
labor, in discussing the European DEL
egates says: !.
: "A recital of: the experiences of
those who have successfully struggled
to- protect CT ildren under the hard
ships and: anxieties of the war period
in Europe and whose countries, in
fact, emerged from the war with bet
ter laws and higher standards for the
nurture and education Of children,
should certainly be of assistance: to
the United States. The. war has: dis
closed perhaps, no greater "heroism
than that Of the civilians Of Europe,
who, within sound of the enemy guns
labored quietly and faithfully, to
guard childhood so far as possible
from the suffering attendant upon
war. The history of the efforts
should prove an inspiration for peace
time work to the men and women
in America who have the welfare of
children at heart"
The above statement is. significant

ing light on: thef greater hardships as
compared with street cargwork, Of the
jobs typically' considered women's
work, such as Mattresses, scrub wo-
men, and laundry workers.
Miss Smiths testimony cited occu-
pations usually considered suitable for
women which involve immeasureably
greater physical hardship and often
much more protracted hours than the
street car work. She stated that a
waitress, walks 10 miles in a. 10-hour
day: and carries 1900: pounds of food
and dishes in that time; that laundry
workers are subject to dangerous ex-
tremes OF temperature and must han
die heavy: machinery: and that the
work Of scrub women is much more
laborious than. a. conductors lob on
the street cars.
The objection, urged by certain. on
ponents OF the. employment Of women
as conductors. that such occupation
neeessitated undesirably early. and
late coming and going from work,
with the accompanying moral, hazard,
was met by Miss Smith by calling: at
tention to the fact that mattresses and
office cleaners. telephone and tele-
graphers> all make the. trip between
office and home at precisely the: same
hours; and encounter all tho: moral
hazard that had been ascribed to the

MUNICIPAL ICE PLANTS.

Twent cities in, Kansas have asked
the state legislature: for a bill per-
uniting cities to purchase or build,
and: operate, municipal ice plants. The
proposed bill has the unanimous en-
dorsement Of the League of Kansas
Municipalities.
The movement receives a great deal
OF encouragement from the experience
OF the city Of Weatherford, Okla.
:Weatherford has a municipal ice. plant
and, according to- an official report, is
producing iceH at a cost Of so cents a,
ton. This is delivered to the door at
2 cents a. hundred pounds and the
city. is realizing: a handsome profit.

of $250,000' and it would have a
quarter of a million left for depre-
citation and a mortgage sinking fund.
But we would not be obliged to pay
S5,00O,000 for the -<property, for
there is not that much value, even
at: present. prices, in the sproperty.
Judge Cant decided not long ago on
the value of the system in Duluth
and his ruling was based on care
full study of the worth of the prop
erty. The city should not be re-
quired to pay more than $3,50O,0OO
for the whole works. This sum with
the company's depreciation fund of
$S25,779.23 ON january last; togeth-
er2with it's sinking fund reserve of
nearly $500,0Q0, both saved from
the earnings, would take mighty
good care of the: stockholders.
If the daily papers were as honest
with the city as they have been par
tial to the company they would join
with this paper in urging the people
to- acquire the property of the Du-
luth Street Railway company at the
earliest possible moment. It's value
will increase; it will not be less.
This is the bargain time.
