THE VERY IDEA"
Nauseatine Thought That
Company Head Should
Meet Unionists.

New York-''The very ideal" ex-
claims Lindley NJ Garrison, receiver
of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit COM
pany, when asked to receive a com
mittee to discuss working conditions
of employees who have organized a
Street Car Mems Union
The present age is unknown to
Mr.. Garrison, who declares that the
union is attempting to create diff
ferences between the company and
it's employees"
The company has been notoriously
antagonistic to trade unionism and
the receiver, while supposed to be an
agent of the court, would seem to be
carrying out this policy.
The company's antagonism to or
ganized labor resulted in wreck
last November that caused the death
of SO passengers. The company re-
fused to obey an order hy the national
war labor board that victimized un-
ionists should be reinstated. The men
suspended work and the wreck was
the result of a green employe attemp-
ting to operate train

VICTORY LIBERTY
LOAN.
Is On In Full Swing With
Many Workers In The
Field.
Labor Depended On To Play
Big Part In Drive Going
"Over The Top"

The Fifth and what is to be the
final Liberty Loan-Victory Loan
drive is on and the army of workers
in battle array under the leadership
of General Judge Clarence Murphy,
chairman of the campaign committee,
is gradually and steadily working its
way to the goal of Hamilton's quota,
Sl,280,000, and expects to go "over
the top" early next week.
General" Murphy however, says
that his army will not be satisfied
with simply reaching the quota, that
when that point is gained at the "top"
Hamilton's quota flag will be planted
and the army will go on resistlessly
until the bond pledges reach beyond
the sum of $1,350,000, and he further
says don't be surprised if we roll up
a 100000 in pledges, that is a great
army / have behind me and they are
to be depended upon"
At noon-day lunch Monday at the
launching of the campaign, Chairman
Murphy made an eloquent plea to
Hamilton and Butler County to stick
to the job until it was triumphantly
finished In his plea Chairman Muir
ply said:

tism to reach and go beyond Ham
ilton's quota in the drive and Chair
man Murphy will not be disappointed
While Hamilton's quota is ST ,280,000,
this was not regarded rs enough by
the committee and he goal of
$1,350,000 was fixed Chairman
Murphy selected committee of twen-
ty-two men which is to canvass only
the corporations This committee is
expected to raise 100000. This
leaves $450,000 to be raised by the
ward workers. Here is where labor
comes in and is expected to do its
part. The Press at this point wants
to assure Chairman Murphy that he
can depend upon labor delivering the
goods. Labor has been loyal beyond
question, and done its part all during
the war and labor will be there when
it comes to finishing the job by the
purchase of Victory Liberty Loan
Bonds.

Leon c. Marshall, dean of the College

the final keynote of the whole war,
and now the issue has been continued

labor thinking has jumped forward
or backward, as you choose to say,
200 years, before business or the gov
ernment has had time to develop any
adequate mechanism and devices to
manage altered conditions in sane
or orderly way. That is the case in
Russia, where lahor is trying to run
business without the proper mechan-
ism to do it. 1t is the same in Eng
land, where work rs are demanding
operative control of the railroads
without adequate machinery

Glory VS.. Bread
Up to the present time this agita-
tion has not achieved any visible re-
suits because Italy was still mindful
of its great and wonderful victory of
last October and many Italians have
been engrossed with the fate of Dal-
malta, Fiume and other territory in
which Italy is interested But it
could not be expected that in any ma
tion glory should always be regarded
as a satisfactory substitute for bread.

on and there is no actions, the great
powerful element of Bolshevists and
near Bolshevists MAY be relied upon

tries-France, Holland and Italy
where the outlook is distinctly threat

these are not the real storm centers
of Europe. It is Russia, where peo-
pie are daily per;shing by the thous-
ands of starvation and of cold; and
Germany, where the food supplies will
be exhausted before the end of this
month, that are flying the great dan
ger signals

"The American Federation of Labor
