Want TO trade Jobs?

Want to trade jobs?
This is the latest vogue in the Gov
ernment service and has grown TO
such an extent that within the past
several days Federal employees have
even resorted to advertisements in an
effort to change their positions.
Here is typical advertisement;
"a clerk-typist: employed in the
War Department at Washington, at
81 200 a year plus the bonus OF $24o,
desires to exchange with clerk In
same capacity and remuneration in
New York or New Jersey"
Such an exchange of positions is
permissible under the civil service
rules, but Is entirely IN the hands OF
the superior officer of the employe.
The practice of seeking changes is
said to be becoming so extensive
that bureau chiefs are about TO put
a stop to il and allow exchanges In
only the most urgent cases.
Employees are not only looking for
exchanges with Government workers
in other cities, but it is a common

BY SAMUEL GOMPERS.
(Written Exclusively for the Inter-
national News Servlce.D

tWritten Exclusively Tor the lhter-
national News Service.)
The dominant spirit of the age
is no longer religious creeds or
forms, but industrial relations of
social life. Where the former are
not in touch with these, they cease
calling out our enthusiasm. 1t is
this new spirit which now controls
our thought and action. Because Of
this new spirit, Labor Day this year
is unusually significant.
PEOPLES RIGHTS MENACED.
The spirit that made our war
great crusade and that made OF our
wonderful army a host of crusaders
sworn to fidelity 10 human rights and
human freedom lives in everything
that Is truly Americap. and demands
expression in the acts of our public
representatives and OF our Government.
In wsnton denial OF this nobility OF
thought and concept, tho Hessians of
greed and plunder seek to ride down
the rights of the people and destroy
their liberties. The enemies OF labor
have given to their servants the man
date that labor must be crushed. its
rights and liberties denied.
The challenge OF these forces to the
citizenship of the nation Is brazen
and blunt. That the right-thinking
men and women of our republic can
afford to allow this challenge to reap
a harvest OF political power in the
coming election is unthinkable. More
than in any political contest since the
days of the civil war, the issue IL
clearly drawn between reaction and
progress.
So 1t is that on this Labor Day we
face grave, complex, and perplexing
problems.
The Washington times., 1920-08-30
.MAssEs UNDERsTAND.-

The masses of the Working people
of the nation understand the great
issues that face them. The one su-
preme issue is whether Liberty shall
live.
1t is the great hope OF the organ
lied labor movement on this coming
Labor Day that the path of industrial
democracy may be marked by none or
the blunders of extremism. Such
democracy as we have yet to attain
must be obtained through the insti-
tutions of the great and intelligent
measure of democracy that We al
ready enjoy. Any other course would
be fatal to all democracy and lead us
to that unhappy and tragic state OF
chaos which has brought so much of
distress and evil to the people OF Rus
sia.
The great Republic OF the United
States. with full allowance for every
manifestation Of evil that is within
it's borders, is still the best nation on
the globe. There is no land so free.
no land so fair, no land so abundant
in opportunities for greater civili-
zation and a grander concept OF the
ideals of human kind.
The greatest thing I'm democracy is
humanity, and whatsoever stands in
the way of it's striving for more of
flife and for a finer life has no place
here and must be banshed.
That is the thought that will be
uppermost in the minds of American
workers on this great American La
Dor Day.
BUILDING ITS OUTPOsTS.
While priests are praying for US
and politicians Grating for us. trade
unionism Is silently building its out
posts and pushing its videttes far
ther and farther beyond the old lines.
And so on this great Labor Day the
workers in America mark new
onward step and set their eyes to
another advance in the future.
In this work for a better and
brighter tomorrow it welcomes tho
cooperation of all helpful agencies,
but will under no circumstances
brook any interference whatsoever
| from those within or without who
espouse the distorted vision of Boil
shevism or who cling to the dead
language of, Bourbonism.
