Contract Breaking
Bosses Increasing

PHILADELPHIA - Contract breaking
among business men in the textile
industry is so widespread that ma
tional conference has been suggested
to evolve a stricter code of ethics
among these business men, who refer
to broken agreements as "cancella-
tions."
These business men vigorously de-
nounce-and rightfully so-groups of
workers when they break contract,
but these employers themselves do
business in an atmosphere of contract
breaking, which has now reached the
point where their industry is leopard
lied.
This situation accords with recent
statement by the Annalist, prominent
financial paper, published in New
York, that "the business structure is
shaken by contract reputation.
"In Short" says the Analist, "com-
mercial honesty, as far as business
mans word is concerned, seems at
discount the world over, and long-es-
tablished trade principles have been
overturned abroad as we'll as here.
Recently the most upright buyers,
representing companies with millions
of capital, have descended to the COM
mon tactics of the demimonde of the
business world. 1t is a fact that con-
tracts with firms of the first order are
now asked to be considered as less
than scraps of paper.
"In short, there is dangerous
tendency to put the seller into the
position of guaranteeing profit, or
otherwise permitting the reputation
of the contract"

Civilizations Goal
Is Man, Not Things

New York-"Men, not things is the
true goal of civilization" said Presi-
dent Gompers, in an address before
the American society of mechanical
engineers.
"That civilization fails that does
not produce great men and great
women, able to create and to use with
discernment the material things that
serve the spirit. Who can estimate
the worth of human beings? / sub
NIT that the true ethical point Of view
of production is that the man him
self is the main product and the
materials the by-product, and it is in
this clearer point of view, it seems to
me, the way lies open for joining the
forces which the labor movement rep
resents and the forces represented by
the activities of your own societies.
"The old feeling of craftsmanship,
which existed before the industrial
revolution came about, has been
greatly modified because of the per-
fection reached in machine design.
This process, however, has been car
ried entirely too far, for in many
places the man has become a human
connecting link in a machine and
mastered by it instead of controlling
the machine himself, as he did with
the tools in the old days.
"The result is that today mems
work tends to become mere toll, so
it seems to me that the task that lies
before US is to develop definite kind
of working environment which will
be attractive and which will inspire
rather than repulse the workman.
The work itself must become central
concern. This cannot be brought
about unless the man finds the op-
portunity for self-expression in the
days work and a chance to exercise
his creative impulses"

WORKERS BEAT GOVERNOR

Nashville - Organized workers in
this state are jubilant over the defeat
of Governor Roberts by Colonel ALI
A. Taylor, republican. Governor
Roberts has been running amuck on
a hysterical campaign of claw and
order" and union batting. The work
ers lined up 100 per cent against him
through non-partisan committees and
accomplished what many people de-
clared to be impossible"

DRIVEN TO THE WALL
Steel Trust EndeavOrS to Suppress Circulation Ot
InterChmCh Report on Strike

Those who were responsible for the
noted report on the steel strike by the
Commission of Inquiry, Interchurch
World Movement, are finding that it
is one thing to make a report, an
other to get the full text of it circu-
lated. The same forces which fought
the publication of the report are
covertly at work to prevent its circu-
lation in book form. To meet the con-
dition in so far as it affects the rank
and file of organized labor the Bureau
of Industrial Research, 289 Fourth
Ave., New York, has arranged with
the publishers to distribute the vol
ume at cost to members of labor
unions. Orders for the $1.50 paper
edition if sent throuh the Bureau will
be filled for $1.00 postpaid. The Bu-
reau was associated with the Com
mission of Inquiry in the preparation
of the report.
uUIiSHcTS SlCcu IOr ioeQILIOn
A few weeks ago the New York
publishers, Harcourt, Brace & Howe,
were ordered by the department of
Seditious and Radical Literature" of
the New Yory postoffice to send in a
copy of the book for examination.
1t would be interesting to learn who
instigated the postoffice to such ac-
tion and on what ground.
This attitude is in marked contrast
to the view of former government
official, w. G. McAdoo, who said in
his Labor Day speech at Syracuse
that "the recent report of the Inter
church World Movement on the con-
ditions in the steel industry must
shock the conscience of America"

to put the report on sale. Public de-
mand compelled a change, however.
Public demand in Pittsburg also
brought on October 26 change which
was almost revolutionary for Pitts
burg. The Hungry Club of the city
invited Bishop F. J. Mcconnell, chair
man of the Commission of Inquiry.
to address them on the report.
The meeting constituted the frs
open public discussion of the steel
strike ever held in Pittsburg outside
the Labor Temple during the strike
and one meeting in the Irene Kauf-
man Settlement. AS the bishop was
about to begin a dozen of the leading
officials of steel companies entered
the hall and their stenographers
marched to the platform edge and
prepared to report the speech ver-
batim.
Have Not Refuted Charges
The bishop, strange to say, was not
intimidated but considered the occa-
sion all the finer opportunity for a
full exposition of the report and the
commissions dealings with Judge
Gary. He spoke for two hours.
Next day the steel men held a meet
ing to decide what must be done.
One of their decisions, it is reported,
was that the steel corporation policy
of refusing to answer the report
must be changed so far as Pittsburg
is concerned and a detailed reply
made, if possible. Up to this time
the charges made in the report have
never been refuted or even answered
by the steel operators.
T. The report continues to be called
alternately fascinating history and
an epochmaking analysis on the one
hand, and, on the other, the work of
"Bolsheviks" or radicals"

Miss Faye Wagner, of the Kokomo
neighborhood, who suffered a very
painful injury Thursday of last week,
being run down by Ford, which she
had cranked, and who is being cared
for at the w. II. Williams home here,
is reported as resting very easy at this
time, though she suffered intense pain
the past week. Miss Faye had some
difficulty in cranking the Ford so
she lacked up the rear wheel but
thoughtlessly left the car in high gear.
When the engine was started the car
jumped forward and, having the two
little children of her sister in the car
at the time, Miss Faye attempted to
hold the car from running Wild with
them. She was backed against an
anchor wire of clothes line post,
badly lacerating and bruising lower
limb, which was caught between the
anchor wire and the axle of the car
tearing the flesh entirely away from
the bone in front and frightfully bruis-
ing and lacerating the fleshy part OF
the limb at the back. The injury was
a most serious and painful one and
one from which she has suffered
greatly. Miss Faye's host of friends
both here and in her home neighbor-
hood, deeply regret her misfortune
and trust for complete and speedy
recovery.
