union movement. The workers ap-
pealed to the government without sue
cess.
The workers then accepted this
CHALLENGE OF the powerful railroad
company and called out 100000 en-
ployes. The French railroad traffic
was paralyzed, and the government
began nobilizing the strikers with the
railroad managers as their military
chiefs, thus subjecting the strikers to
court martial if they refused to return
to work.
The French Federation of Labor,
representing 100000 organized
workers, became interested and the
government then notified the railroad
officials to 'reinstate Campanaud and
all strikers. The company obeyed. Be-
fore returning to work the strikers
took advantage of the situation and
improved working conditions.
When the French railroad workers
called a general strike in 1910 it was
broken over night by the government
ordering a general mobilization. Every
railroad employee was called to the
colors. This year the government ap-
piled the same method, but in a. less
daring manner. A partial mobiliza-
ton of 10000 strikers was called It
Is claimed that the government issued
this partial mobilization order as a

enemies. If it can nominate friends
and defeat its enemies in the pri-
maries it intends to do that also. The
workers always have voted in the pri-
maries. This time it is the intention
to be more vigorous in securing the
nomination of men who, will truly
represent American manhood and
womanhood. If union men can be
nominated, so much the more certain
will labor be of victory in the cleo
lions. Or is it the concept that the
workers, as workers and citizens, have
not the right to elect liberty-loving,
patriotic Americans, simply because of
the fact that they are workers, or is 1t

we'll be dissipatsd BY the known facts
As to the thousands Of competent txach-
ers who have been forced, by economic
stress, to leave the schools for more
remunerative employment, and by tho
fact that the average pay of school
teachers in the United States in 1919,
namely 1854, has so far been increased
no more than 10 per cent. There are
entire states whose teachers receive a
yearly average Of less than 5000. Over
100000 children, we are informed,
are now going to school to incompetent
teachers or are not going to school at
all. In the rural districts Of the coun-
try there are over 10000 schools with
out teachers, and it is known that pro-
ductive farms have been deserted in
large part because the farmers have
felt the imperative need Of moving
their families to districts where proper
schooling is obtainable. Amid such
conditions, and with the increasing
American illiteraey shown to have been
responsible for the disqualification Of
100000 men who were drafted for eff
fective service in the great war, the
teachers are to be thanked for pressing
this issue upon the attention of a po-
litical party. If both parties arc wise,
they will adopt some such plank, as is
proposed.-Christian Science Monitor.

Railroad Workers of France
Prove Value of Trade Unions

The theory that trade unionism is
necessary to protect workers even
though strong labor laws exist, is
again sustained by the recent general
strike Of French railroad workers.
The origin and significant ending of
this strike have been concealed by the
public press.
The strike was caused by the dis
missal of worker named Campanaud,
who was employed by the Laris, Lyon
& Mediterranean railroad, and who is
a member Of the Federation of Rail-
way Workers. Eight days prior to a
meeting of the board Campanaud
asked for a leave Of absence. It did
not reach him in time, and following
his usual custom he left without the
permit. When he returned he was
discharged for characterization"
The Federation Of Railway Workers
demanded his reinstatement on the
ground that this practice had been fol-
lowed before, that the company had
received ample notice, that it did not
order him to remain at work and that
the French labor laws guarantee to
workers the right to organize into
trade unions and to conduct union
business
The company refused to reinstate
Campanaud, and the workers con-
nected this attitude with the nation
wide campaign that is being carried
on by employers against the trade

ROGER BABS0N WRITES
y: ON WHAT Bo1HERS Me-:

Roger Babson, financial and gtatis-
tical expert, who recently issued q
pamphlet entitled, What Bothers
Me-" which indicates how tar an OPEN
minded man may go despite naturally
reactionary tendencies. Speaking of
his experience during the Boston
policemen:s strike, he says:
II went into one Of the largest banks
with some securities. Marching up
and down in front Of the bank were
soldiers with rifles. A negro porter
sat within the door with a belt of cart
ridges around his, neck like a, string
Of beads: Everything WAS guarded as
If this were the most sacred spot in
America.
"On. my way home - . saw
a group Of people. I learned that &
poor family was being evicted from it's
home. The landlord had put up the
price Of rent and they were put upon
the street--a mother. with several
children and an old, grandmother.
"As>I sat in. my office later the. vi
sion Of the Bolshevist came to my
mind. For the first time nomentar-
lily caught his point Of vie&e-.thAt this
government Is organized to protect
property instead Of people. No
soldiers were ready to protect that
poor family which. was being evicted.
But when a bank or. store is being
threatened. the entire state guard is
Immediately called.
II realize that there can be no blame
on the soldiers or officials: The fact
remains that Under. the laws, as set up
today, property and capital receive
greater respect than health and hap
piness.
'sThis fact is the cause Of the radical
movements Of today and only as we
rectify the situation can Bo1shevism
be curbed. In any city where call
from a poor Widows home will receive
the same attention as the call from a
prominent jewelry store, there will be
no growth OF Bolshevism."

MNDMlllS ON FARMS
TO KEEP COWS COOL

Not long ago a man who had been
born and raised in one Of the large
eastern cities and who hadn't been
far enough away to learn that horse
radish has nothing to do with a horse,
was compelled to take a business trip
which carried him west to the prairies
of South Dakota. He was amazed
at the things he saw ana his ignorance
caused him to ask some foolish ques.
tions OF his fellow passengers who
were uniformly respectful until the
city man, spying 4 windmill, ex.
claimed, 'What under the sun il that

elingman. who solemnly answered,
"Oh, some farmers are so kind hearted

Losses Through Preventable
Disease Exceeds Strike Costs

According to figures made public
by DR.. Hugh s. Cumming, surgeon
general of the United States public
health service. the country's loss
through strikes is g. trifle, compared
with the loss through preventable dis
ease.
The medical man did not make this
comparison, but the information he
gives Is q hint to those who deliver
ponderous lectures on the cost OF
strikes, the need for greater produce
ton by the workers. and "can't-strike''
legislation.
I'm the United States in normal
year." said DR.. Cumming, "for each
person gainfully employed. there is a
loss Of nine days due to sickness,
large part of it being preventable.
There were approximately 100000
deaths from pneumonia in the United
States in 1913. For every death from:
pneumonia in the United States we
count 1926 sick days. There were over
$4,000 deaths. from typhoid fever. A
death from typhoid fever corresponds
to loss Of from $50 to 500 sick days.
There were over 10000 deaths from
tuberculosis. A death from tubercu-
losis corresponds to slightly more than
500 sick days among whites and
slightly less than this among colored.
while it Is true that these are dis
eases in which the death rates are
high, that is not the chief factor in
causing the high economic loss. Ma
laria fever very we'll illustrates the
economic loss to the world due to a
disease in which the mortality rate
Is low.

WHAT lS:1H|S WE CALL
DEMOCRACY IN INDUSTRY

Fancy was given free rein by the
editor of the Philadelphia North
American in discussing the Threaten
ing manifestations Of bolshevism in
this country"
"A few months ago." he said, "a
great basic industry was paralyzed by
a strike whose inspiration, revealed in
the writings of it's leader, was the pro-
gram of syndicalism, class rule and
the ultimate destruction of democratic
institutions in the United States
Another group of organized labor
undertook to defy the laws of the ma
ton and nullify the authority Of the
national government by stopping the
supplies of fuel in order to enforce
their arbitrary demands upon a help
less public
Against these flights Of fancy, the
record shows that last fall the soft
coal miners asked for so per cent
wage increase and other concessions.
The coal owners met them in con-
ference in Buffalo and later in Phil
adelphia, but at no time during these
negotiations did they offer a counter
proposition. This forced the miners
| on strike to secure any increase.
The steel strike was caused by the
refusal Of Judge Gary to meet a. COM
mittee representing his employees for
the purpose of discussing wages, hours
and working conditions.
The attempt to organize steel work.
ers for the purpose Of securing better
conditions was started at convention
of the A. r. of L., nearly two years
before the strike was forced upon
these workers.
During the strike the public press
insisted that this movement was de-
signed to "overthrow the government"
but most Of these editors have lately
accepted the theory that "you can't
fool all of the people all Of the time. !"

Seamen's Safety Law Is Upheld
By HiQheSt Court I'm the Land

The United States department Of
Justice was then accorded the same
courtesy, and what was originally a
working mans demand for wages de-
veloped into an international contest.
The International Seamen's Union
fought the case for Dillon at a cost Of
over $4,000. The unionists were rep
resented by Hon. George Sutherland,
former United States senator from
Utah.
The British government insisted
that the vessel was British property,
that British, not American, laws
should apply. and that Dillon should
be forced to abide by his contract not
to leave the vessel except at the cap
tain's pleasure and not to demand
wages until the end of the voyage.
The decision affects every maritime
nation whose vessels touch American
ports. The decision also throws light
on the many Influences in America
that have insisted that the seamen's
law is menace to this country's mer-
chant marine, and justifies the claim
of organized seamen that this hostility
can be traced to the worlds shipping
trust.
The decision Of the United States
supreme court in the case Of Dillon
against the British steamer Strathearn
will equalize seamen's wages first out
of American ports and ultimately the
world over, ay the Seamen' Journal.
IAN equalization of seamen's wages
will enable American ships to compete
successfully with all the world.

The committee states that at the
beginning of the strike; approximately
$4,000 men were involved. The strike
lasted three and one-half months and
when it was called off 100000 men
were involved.

It held I'm ceilings on streets, on noun

and in halls. But whether the OPPOSE
ton was much or little the work never
stopped.
THE national committee began it's
work on the theory that any men in
any industry could be- organized If
they could be reached with the mes
sage Of unionism. This report proves
the correctness Of this theory. This
report should convey a lesson and
furnish an inspiration to the. labor
movement of this country. 1t means

ASKS MANUFACTURERS
TO WATCH CONSUMERS

Tucked away in the financial sec
ton of a New York newspaper is this
Information for business men:
If consumers show by their buying
activities that they are willing to
accept the present scale of prices, the
tendency on the part Of manufacturers
to establish still higher levels for the
coming season will be more pro-
nounced than it is now. If, on the
other hand, sales at retail are SO
sharply curtailed during the next few
weeks that there can be no question
OF consumer rebellion against prevail
ing prices, the manufacturers will be
forced to proceed very cautiously and
to reduce even necessary increases to

A seaman's contract made in q for
eign country is not valid i'll America
unless it conforms to the La Toilette
seamen's law, rules the United States
supreme court, which has dealt q
smashing blow to worldwide oppo-
nents of this legislation.
A seaman named Dillon shipped
from Liverpool in 1915 in a vessel
owned by the Strathearn Steamship
company. The voyage was not to ex-
coed three years. No wages were to be
paid or liberty granted Dillon except
at the pleasure of the captain. Wien
the vessel arrived at Pensacola, Fla,
Dillon asked tor oneAhalf of wages due
him. This was refused and he filed
suit in the federal districa court for
1926. the amount of wages earned at
the time OF demand and refusal. Dillon
was defeated in the district court, but
this decision was reversed by the cir
cult court of appeals. The vessel own
ers then appealed to the United States
supreme court. In sustaining Dillon
the supreme court notifies the worlds
shipping interests that when contracts
are signed with seamen for a voyage
that will include America these con-
tracts will not. be recognized in
America unless they conform to the
American seamen's law.
The case was considered so import
ant to its shipping interests that the
British government asked the supreme
court, through it's ambassador to
America, for permission to be repre-
sented by counsel as "a friend Of the
court" The court granted this re-
quest, and Frederick G. Coudert, New
York lawyer, was retained by Great
