WORKERS ARE Goes IN
INDUSTRIAL MACHINE

NEW YORK, Mar. being a
cog in the industrial machine is
the fundamental cause for indus
trial unrest, declared C. V. Corless,
a Canadian economist, before the
American Institute of Mining and
Metallurgical Engineers.
There are probably very few
men who would not be willing, p"
he said, Ito earn less, to work hard
er and for longer hours and under
worse conditions, or to get on with
fewer holidays if it were done for
themselves in any undertaking in
which they really felt a deep per-
sonal interest. But, in modern in
dustry they do not feel personally
interested. They have no sense Of
ownership. They never begin and
finish anything. They have little
or no interest in the end product.
They do not have the opportunity
to think for themselves. They are
generally required to perform GER
tain definite work, or even mere
mechanical movements without
consultation, or in a way that does
not call for reasonable exercise or
recognition of their intelligence.
They have very little or no voice
in governing themselves. They are
part of an organization, cogs in
an economic machine which they
do not fully understand, and in
which they almost lose their iden-
tity-that is, their freedom for
self-development. Somebody, some
where, shapes the organization and
sets it in motion, but the parts of
the organization they see or the
work they perform usually have
little, if any, scientific or social
meaning to them. Hence their
spirit rebels. The human spirit,
unless it has been utterly suppress
ed, is fortunately SO constituted
that it always rebels against any
form of external authority in which
it has no share, and which it does
not intelligently grasp.
Industrial peace will never be
attained as long as capital and
management assume the right of a
final say on matters intimately af-
fecting the welfare and even the
self-respecting existence of a very
numerous class, whose loyal coop
Grafton is as essential to the sue
cess of every industrial enterprise
as their own.
is it clearly recognized that we
are at the beginning of a great
transition period of industry, Do
we realize that the autocracy OF
capital is coming to an end? Such
periods of widespread, rapid. So
cial change are times of peculiar
danger. 1t is in the power of the
present members of society either
to recognize the principle at work
and to lend intelligent assistance
to the movement or to increase the
social danger by opposing it,"

MINERS FLOCK TO UNION

At the convention of United
Mine Workers, District No. 10,

month, President Bittner reported
that the membership has increased
since 1917 from handful of
workers to 204 locals and a mem
bership of $4,000 aggressive organ

The latest candidates for the ia
vor of the peace conference are the
women Of France. Through an or
ganization known as the French
Society for the Interests of Wom-
en-" they assert that all classes of
French women request the incorpor-
alton of an international women's
charter in the constitution of a So
ciety of nations.
They declare that women had
no part in the errors of the past,
but demand the right to help re-
build the world on a higher plane.
They ask the extension to women
of all rights enjoyed by men and
that the right to make war shall
be abolished. They also demand
the protection of children and
motherhood in all stages, and the
adoption of measures for better
physical, moral and mental condi-
lions for children in the future.

PRIVATE OWNED LAND
DIFFERS FROM R. R. IS

WASHINGTON, March 3.-In a
memorandum submitted to the SEN
ate Interstate Commerce Commit
tee favoring the operation of rail-
roads by employees, Glenn E. Plumb,
Attorney for the Railroad Brother
hoods, draws a sharp distinction be-
tween lands held by railroads and
lands held by private parties. The
Attorney was discussing government
ownership and quoted court deci-
sions to sustain his opposition to
the claim that railroad lands should
be appraised at the market value,
regardless of investment. and that
the manner in which these lands
were acquired by the railroads must
not be considered.
Railroad property is property in
which the government or the pub
lie has an interest, it is stated. 1T
is acquired only for the public ser
vice and not for private use. 1t is
dedicated to the public service by
the fact of its acquisition and is
held by corporations whose charters
expressly limit the holding or &C
QUESTION, use and ownership of the
property so acquired. TO a holding,
acquisition, use and ownership for
public service.
"All railroad charters permit the
acquisition of land only for railroad
purpose. whether it be acquired by
purchase, gift, grant or condemna-
ton All railroads are public high
ways, y railroad corporation is an
agent of the state for the operation
Of public highway. When it &C
cepts a charter authorizing ii to
perform this function and acquired
property, under such a charter, il
thereby dedicates that property as
public highway for the public
service. Il retains in that prop
erty a private interest granted to
it by its charter.
That private interest is merely
the right to hold title 10 the prop
erty, subject to the public right OF
user; to operate it in the interest
Of the public and to charge for It's
service such reasonable rate as will
permit it to earn fair return up
on the money honestly and prudent
ly expended. 1t mas no right to sell
the property which it holds ex.
cept subject to the public right OF
user. It may not sell the property
until its usefulness is extinguished
1t may not give it away; it cannot
merchandise its lands, its buildings
or its equipment.
Property held by such a title
cannot have market value because
market value or exchange value i'm
plies a freedom to purchase or sell
: in the open market Where this
freedom does not exist there can be
no market value"

COMMON SENSE
(Contributed)

The agreement between the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners and the New York
Building Employers Association TO
arbitrate their differences made
through the U. S. Department of
Labor. removes from the building
trades a situation that would have
had a serious effect on industry
had it resulted in a general strike
and lockout in the building trades.
The questions were adjusted by
bringing both sides to the contro-
versy-a wage matter-to the con-
ference table and there having
them discuss their points of view
and determine upon course of
action that would do no damage to
either party.
When a strike or lockout occurs
issues develop that sometimes are
more difficult to adjust than the
original cause of the trouble, and
always there is aroused bad feel
ing which lives a long time. This
is reflected in the attitude Of the
contending parties toward each
other. The consequence is a spirit
of aggression that helps no one and
Injuries many.
On the other hand. the confer
ence settlement creates a friendly
business relation that helps every
one, and does not cause loss of
money or prestige. More, it aids
industry by establishing a calm
state Of mind and imparting a sense
of industrial security.
At time Of general unrest Of
labor, confidence in the future of
industry is easily shaken. And this
confidence is most essential to the
welfare of the reople. Without it,

HOW MANY ACRES TO THE MAN

An interesting and valuable circular
has just been issued by the Alabama ex-
tension service entitled, Man Labor Re-
quirements of Some Principle Southern
Crops" 1t is written by F. d. Stevens,
farm management specialist, located in
birmingham, and cannot but prove of
timely interest to thoughtful farmers
whose production in the past has been
limited by lack of labor supply. This
circular, No. SO, first propounds the ques-
ton. "Mow many acres of crops can one
man handler" and proceeds to show how
an average, horse cotton farm, the
time of a farmer and his family -four
in alb is practically taken up in caring
for 16 acres of cotton, IA acres of corn
and acres of cowpeas-33 acres in all
The wastefuness of this plan, however.
is shown in that it actually uses only $50
days or Sc per cent of the available time
of the farmer. available time is cal
eulated to be 229 days in the year, the
balance of the 1856 days being classed as
unavailable for field work, and includes
Sundays and holidays.
Commenting on this system, the circular
says: 1.-THE distribution of this labor is
such as to interfere material with any
regularity of the school session, and ac
counts for the popularity of the five
months school in the cotton states"
And so another crop rotation is planned
wherein an attempt is made to show
the maximum acreage it is possible for
one man and his family to care for
where cotton is still retained in the sys-
tenn of planting. This plan contemplates
a four-year rotation on four fields of 10

Advantages of Dairying

!. The sale of dairy products furnishes
steady income throughout the year
The farmer who depends upon crop sales
Tor his income usually makes the bulk of
his sales during one or two months of
the year, while during the rest of the
year he has no cash income. Such a
system requires long credits in the COM
munity.
:. The market for dairy products nuc-
tuates very little year by year as com
pared with other farm products.
j. Through the return of manure to the
land the fertility and physical condition
OF the soil may be maintained at high
level and crops increased Even after
many years properly maintained dairy
farm has constantly increasing crop
yields instead of decreasing ones.
a. In dairying, labor may be utilized at
more uniform rate throughout the year
than in nearly any other farm business
The grain grower, for example, may have
to employ much additional labor at har-
vest time, but so far as the dairy is
concerned the dairyman has about the
same duties to perform every month of
the year. Thus, less help is required
seasonally and permanent employees may
be kept
3. Through the dairy COW many unsal-
able roughages may be transformed into
products from which cash may be real
lzed. Grass, hay, corn fodder and other
roughage which may not have a ready
sale are economically utilized by the
dairy COW. Land which is not suitable
for cultivation can be utilized for pastur-
age for dairy cows.
