TRADE CONDITIONS.
Z YORK. October

NE" 1oRh, oCtobeT --bTdu-
streets Review of Trade says:
"a more hesitant note is sounded in
the trade reports this week, and buy
ing has slackened as the result of
past and present marking down of
prices in many lines of wholesale
trade. In many reports the recent
cuts in cotton goods and automobiles
are stressed as being the impelling
causes of the quieting down of trade
buying and the lessened activity in
industry. but in few reports warm
or unsettled weather, the nearer ap-
proach of the election and heavily
declining prices for farm produ are
all mentioned as contributing to the
slower pace.
ut seems without question that the
check first given to buying by con-
sumers last spring plus the closer
scrutiny of credits and lessened ac-
commodation to borrowers desiring to
carry large stocks have had a cumu-
lative effect which has been ,accentu-
ated by recent seasonal changes not
bringing anticipated reawakening, of
demand. Weekly bank clearfngs,

Is Not Practical
INCORPORATED UNIONS CAN'T
SOLVE UNREST
Claim Incorporation Renders Unions
Responsible Held to be Reverse
Regarding Corporations
and Business Firms

Boston - Just when anti-unionists
are tuning up for the latest chorus,
Incorporate unions and make them
responsible" Editor Baine, of the
Shoe Workers Journal, says:
Business men do not form COR
porations for the purpose Of making
themselves responsible, but for the
contrary purpose of limiting their
responsibility to the amount Of their
investment, thus exempting from re-
sponsibility any property they may
own outside Of the corporations in
which they hold stock. The corpora
tion, therefore, becomes a means by
which men Of capital can play
strong game with limited personal
responsibility while they themselves
incorporate to avoid responsibility.
"Also when business men or in
vestors form a corporation they
choose officers or committees to rep
resent them. Sometimes they even
choose to be represented by an attor-
ney who does not work in their fac
tory. The writer does not recall any
instance in which the right of cor
poration to be represented by an at
torney or committees of its own
choosing was questioned either by la
Dor or the public. Yet these same
nn n1tIn ~, e
public group, protest against en-
ployes or unions of employees or wage
earners choosing their own commit
tees, spokesmen or attorneys to rep
resent them.
aside from the seriousness of the
matter, it was little short of ridicu-
lous to see Judge Gary, a lawyer,
representing the steel corporation,
and chosen by the corporation to be
its spokesman, objecting to the steel
workers having the right to choose
their own representative in a man.
ner satisfactory to themselves.
Corporations are about as imper-
feet from the standpoint of ideals or
of justice as anything yet created by
man. They need improvement and
restraint far more than the workers
they so often oppress. They aim to
eXalt the dollar rather than the man,
while unions of labor aim to exalt the
man above the dollar.
Before corporations can be looked
upon as solutions of industrial un-
rest a different kind of corporation
will have to be shown than the ones
with which we are familiar"

Miners Favor Strike End

Indianapolis-By vote of 1859 to
221 the convention of the United Mine
Workers indorsed the strike settle
ment plan agreed to by the govern
ment and their officials.
Defenders of the settlement insist
ed that there was nothing else to do
after the federal government deter
mined to use every force at its COM
mand to compel the miners to resume
work.
Acting President Lewis declared
that the union came out of the fight
intact and that the officers would
press the demand for better condi-
tions before the coal commission ap-
pointed by the president. The min
ers' executive pointed out that during
the 40 days strike not single life
was lost, and that "no widows
lamentations or walls of orphans as
sail our ears"
Secretary Treasurer Green said:
with all the mining communities
honeycombed with Federal agents
gathering evidence against our men,
our funds tied up, every officer of the
organization threatened with arrest
and our women and children facing
starvation, how, in the name of God,
could We continue the strike ?"

Plot to Wreck Union
Exposed by FuruSeth

San Francisco-H. A. Fritz, alias
Fisher, who recently attempted to be
elected assistant secretary of the
Sailors Union of the Pacific, was eX-
posed by President Furuseth, of the
international Seamen's union as an
eX-convict, a renegade dishonorably
discharged from the United States
navy and a tool of influences that
would destroy the union.
At meeting of the union, at which
the accused was present, Furuseth
supported his charges with a photo
of Fritz in convict garb, with a rec
ord of his court martial by the navy
and proof that he was admitted to the
union by fraud.
Furuseth showed that Fritz was
court martialed by the navy in 1914,
and sentenced to five years in Cali
fornia penitentiary for forgery and
scandalous conduct. In June, 1916,
his unexpired term was RENTED by
the secretary of the navy and ne was
discharged from the service. In Sep
tember, the following year, Fritz
Joined the San Francisco branch of
the Seamen's union through the pres
entation of book from an Australian
union. The name in the book was
Fisher. The book was dated July /,
1916, only two weeks following
Fritz's release from the penitentiary.
This alone would convict Fritz as it
was a physical impossibility for him
to get across the Pacific in that time.
When Furuseth presented this evil
dence to the union he pointed to the
door and told Fritz to leave.
Fritz had secured a following in the
union through his radical utterances.
He was great champion of the
working class" He held the office
of shipping master in the union for
some time. During all this time the
employers were acquainted with the
affairs of the union.

Anti-UniOn SOIOnS
Are Good Organizers

Washington - Attacks on govern
ment employees who are members of
organized labor by certain members
of congress is proving helpful to the
organized movement, says Luther C.
Steward, president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees.
"The remarkable growth Of our or
ganization is largely due to unfair
attacks on the mass of deserving
workers in the federal service" de-
clared the trade union executive.
"The late Congressman Borland
practically brought our organization
into being with his proposal to
lengthen the work day of govern
ment employees. Congressman Blan-
ton and Senator King have ably
assisted and now Senator Smoot has
added himself to the list of our or
ganizers. We are asking only for
fair treatment. We shall continue
to ask, and sweeping generalities
plainly actuated by prejudice will
only serve to focus public attention
upon the justice of our claims"
Senator Smoot is opposing the eff
fort to increase salaries of govern
ment employees, and in a speech jan
uary 9Th this law maker, standing in
the senate chamber, made this pro-
found argument:
"There was colored woman up
at my house calling on our colored
cook not so very long ago, and after
she left we were informed that every
charwoman in the United States was
going to receive 81 ,320 per year from
now on, and they were going to join
the union, and the union was going
to see that the lowest salary paid by
the government of the United States,
no matter if it was a charwoman,
and worked only four hours a day,
should be 1890"

Fear No Debate
A RUGGED DEMOCRACY NEEDS
FREE SPEECH
Sen. Norris Would Not Deny Right to
Express Opinion, Which if Curbed
Would Bring Forth DiscOrd
and Result in Anarchy

Washington-Th democratic foun
dation of our country is so rugged
that it does not need government
denial of free speech and free press,
declared Senator Norris in speech
in the senate against censorship.
"Instead of stopping a man from
making a speech on a street cor
ner," said the Nebraska law maker,
81 would buy him another soap box
and put it out on the Street and tell
him to go to it. | have faith enough
in the principles of our government
and in it's very foundation stones,
that it can withstand the attacks OF
crazy, nonsensical anarchists and
others. l believe that we ought 10
be careful lest we sow the seed that
will bring forth more anarchy, more
bolshevism, more sovietism."
In answer to the claim that the
men who are urging control of free
speech and free press are patriotic,
Senator Norris said:
"Every man who ever lit a torch
that burned a witch at the stake We
lieved that he was doing the right
thing.
GAS Washington said in his fare
we'll address, even though you might
accomplish good in one instance you
set a precedent that future men hav-
ing authority will use to do evil, 10
suppress the rights Of the people and
deny them their liberties, and in the
end bring down upon their heads the
destruction Of the government itself.
at is said that these men will
abuse the right if you give them free
speech. That is true; they will. Give
free press, and the press will abuse
it. Of course it will. They have in
the past always-not all papers, not
all men, but some in every class.
"Then you say, ought we not sup
press that abuse? My answer is that,
following the doctrine laid down by
Washington, history shows from the
beginning of civilization that it can
not be done without bringing on a
greater injury. So our forefathers
said that we will suffer this abuse
rather than interfere with the right
of free speech and free press; that
if you place in any mans hands me
power to suppress, you eventually
bring upon your heads the destruc-
ton of free government.
'If our doctrines are right, if our
country is founded upon system en-
bodied in the truth-and | believe It
is-then we need not fear any debate,
any discussion"

Can't Stop Meetings

Youngstown, Ohio - The western
Pennsylvania method of prohibiting
trade union meetings by refusing per-
mits for same will not become fash
ionable in this part of Ohio, at least,
since Judge David G. Jenkins has
held that an ordinance of this char
acter is unconstitutional.
The ordinance was passed by the
village of East Youngstown. 1t pro-
hibited five or more persons holding
a meeting within the village without
first obtaining a permit from the
mayor.
1t was shown that when steel work.
ers assembled to elect officers their
meeting was raided in a spectacular
manner. In ordering the discharge
OF the unionists, and setting aside the
ordinance, Judge Jenkins said:
II regard the ordinance as form
of hysteria which has been sweeping
the country, whereby we'll meaning
persons, in the guise of patriots, have
sought to preserve America even
though going to the extent of denying
the fundamental principles upon
which Americanism is based, and free
assemblage is one of those fundamen-
tails.
"Americanism, such as we desire to
inculcate into the minds of the for
eigner, can not be successful if laws
are enacted restraining that Amer
icanism-laws that could not be ex-
ceeded by the car of Russia him
self"
