BARRED ROADS
BY George Matthew Adams

Only by the ingenious is life de-
served!
Have you experience?" is the first
thing that an employer asks. He
wants people who have travelled the
road to things-who have met OBJ
stacles and learned to handle them.
The fit are those who have learned
the way to success and happiness, tho
they were faced again and again with
barred roads.
Our everyday is pretty much a thing
Of solution. To our fondest dreams so
often there is the barred road. But
we may all grow able!
If we fail in our efforts to go around
the thing that bars us from our plans
and our aims, we may teamwork
thru. We may go back to the axiom
Of our school days that "the shortest
distance between two points is the
straight line"-and then apply it till
we reach the other side.
l like to think that there is nothing
that may bar noble heart and an iron
soul--on the way to it's goal
So your roads look barred, do they ?
Well, here is a little secret-it's worth
while to give a lot of thought to their
unbarring. YOU can't fail! For you
are YOU. The thing which you rep
resent, is immortal. And nothing with
the touch of Immortality to it can be
barred for long.
If you will but lead your will, you
will be Leland lead! Nothing can
bar you.

The Rail Strike

The unauthorized strike of switchnen and en-
ginemen, which started in Chicago and gained
Roadway elsewhere, comes at an inopportune time
and will receive little encouragement from we'll
balanced and thinking members of labor organi
cations.
The international officers of the two unions
whose members precptated the strike, have re-
fused to sanction the movement and assist
ing the roads in moving traffic through the
freight gateways. Organized labor loses ire
nendously in prestige when some of it's locals, in
defiance of their national officers and without
good cause quit work and tie up an Industry.
The sanctity of a contract between union
and an industry is just as binding on the workers
as it is on the capitalists. Opponents of organ
lied labor always have asserted that the contract
was one-sided because the unions would break it
at will, whereas the owners of industry were
penaized if they failed to live up to it's provisions.

Dinner Stories

In the good old days a southern
colonel. according to Senator Nickel
lar of Tennessee, called in his colored
man, Sam, and gave him a drink Of
liquor.
"How is that liquor, SAM" the
colonel asked.
"Jist right" Sam replied.
What do you mean by Just right?'
the colonel inquired.

better you wouldn't give 1t to me, and

the sanction and approval of the national officers
Injuries the cause of labor. 1t gives to it's foes
substantiation of their argument. The Chicago
incident illustrates the point. Workers arbi-
trarily quit work and refused to return upon the
order of the high officials of the union. No
wonder that many owners of industries refuse to
accept the principle of collective bargaining and
insist that an open shop is fair and just to both
capital and labor.
The stand which the international officers of
the two unions involved have taken meets with
the approval of every unionist who has the well
fare of his organization at heart. Workers who
believe in the principles of organized labor know
that an orderly process must precede the calling
of strike and that an indiscrmnate use of the
power to strike by local unions tends to create
confusion and unrest, and ultimately aienates the
support from the cause.
The present strike is beginning to be felt in
other industries. Thousands of men have been
thrown out of employment. Shops and factories
are closing down. Mercantile houses are endur-
ing an interruption of shipments. Transporta-
ton of live stock to the packing plants is being
lmpeded. The effect of the strike will manifest
itself In further increases in the price of commo-
dltles for every cessation of industry, every in
aggravate the situation.
The return of the price level to a normal basis
is influenced by the quantity output of our mines
farms and factories, and their expeditions trans
portatlon to the markets. An nterruption of anv
OF these factors postpones the day when old
prices will prevail.
