AMENDMENT

Lawyers practicing in Wilmington
will each have to pay the new city.
license fee OF s25 as individuals and
not as firms according to an informal
decision reached by City Council.
The question came up before Coun|
ell in committee OF the whole last
night. President Lyon said he had
heard frequent complaint that thu,
license ordinance as drafted was un-
fair, as it levied the tax on firms Oh
partnerships
II think every lawyer should pay q
license as an individual" he added.
This is only another instance Of
where the little fellow is squeezed
while the big fellow escapes. The
hard working. energetic young man
who is striving TO build up Laws
practice must pay more, as the ord.
nance is now drawn than the highly
successful lawyer who has formed a
partnership. A firm with five mem- =
bers will pay only S25 for the wholA
five. That's not fair"
City solicitor Huxley. who wal
present, replied that the ordinance
had been drawn in accordance witb
the custom Of the State, which
taxes law firms the same as idvid-
uals.
Wei. then. change the ordinances
before we finally pass IL" said Coun-
Gilman Kane. III there's a flaw in il,
let us remedy it.

Better change the ordinance. Mr..

the lawyers like it or not. Anyhow,
VIXEN we all get through doing our
duty by the city. we will all be cor
daily hated anyhOw-by those who

IL IS understood there are only
about five law firms in the city which

that these firms embrace not more
than 20 or % lawyers.
II is probable the second OF ihs
series OF license bills, which carries
some 66 different fees, will be taken

So anxious were they not TO be obliged TO sur

CoMPERs AND THE A. F. OF L.

Reelection OF Samuel Gompers TO the presidency
Of the American Federation OF Labor for the 3sth
time speaks well for that grand old man." let his
CAPITALIST enemies rant and rave hard they
will. indicates that labor really does sometimes
appreciate the man who has been loyal and served
the cause we'll. Mr.. Gosnpers well-nigh an excep-
ton quite an exception when you speak Of labor in
relation politics. Labor IN politics like the
'yaller dorg" seems always to love best, and vote
consistently. for the and the party that serves
IL least.
The who enlists TO fight the workinsman's
cause as a rule ensts in a thankless task. Some
how they appear to like best those who kick them
about and then have the intestinal nerve" to
come back, and tell them OF the blessed favor that
II had been 20 them. II after this manner that
labor voted for James Eli Watson and Harry Stewart
New for Indiana's senators in 1916 in preference
10 John W. Kern and Thomas Taggart. John Kern
in particular was the best friend that labor
had among the public of the state, and Harry
New among its most determined enemies but labor
voted for New.
There is much. however. to the A. F. OF L.
vention at Montreal to deserve public consideration
besides reelection of Mr. Gompers The affair really
deserves much attention either of the big Ioli
teal conventions. action is significant and
suring to the average onlooker. For it is what
fairly be called a conservative convention. Many
citizens of the conservative type may smile
at the Of union labor being conservative; but
certainly it is so-for union labor Similar bodies
abroad are generally far radical
There are two big facts that have developed at
Montreal showing this characteristic First the fed
Grafton is disposed 10 continue its established policy
of opposing the formation OF labor party, in spite
of efforts made in that direction Second. by big
majority refused its sympathy and support to
the soviet government Of Russia.
It opposes alike class-partyism and bolshevism.
It stands against the "one big union" and against
organized socialism such 1t maintains the dign
fed position that union workman is, first Of all,
an American citizen. resertng his freedom to sup
tort politically whatever party candidate
measure may, from time time, appear to serve
his interests
Thus in a time OF unsettled politics and disor-
ganized economics the attitude of the American
organized labor movement is encouraging. 1t may
be wrong in theory and practice along various lines,
according 70 the viewpoint of outsiders but it de-
