Mr. late was one Oh the founders

loss that never can be repI~ ced In
the hearts OF his friends, wno will
forever miss his genial, kindly smile
and the hearty clasp OF his good right
hand. He was kindness personihed,
generous in the extreme and abso-
lutely square in all business dealings,
and his close application to the work
of upbuilding the Association is well
known to all its members.
The affairs of the Association were
in perfect condition when its presi-

80 that his brother, Howard C. Tate,
who has been associated with him in
the business since it's inception, will
be enabled to conduct it in the future
with the same precision and success
which has been a distinguishing
feature in the past.

SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS

The advertisers in The Leader de-
serve the support of organized labor
and it's friends. They materially as
sist in making it possible for this
paper to be Of service to the workers.
The individuals and firms using our
publication are showing interest in
our cause and expressing friendship
for the wage worker, and the latter
should give them the preference in
making purchases. AS organized
workers you can readily grasp the
value of reciprocity in preference to
all others. AS one good turn de-
serves another, it follows, that those
advertisers should get the purchasing
power of Newark's organized labor,
amounting to about FIFTY THOUS-
AND DOLLARS PER WEEK, as well
as friends of the cause. Hot air
never accomplished anything. Talk
is usually valueless. Action is what
counts. Buy from those who help
your cause. Those who make their
wants known through THE LEADER
are certainly worthy of your patron
age. See to it that they get it.

BIantOn Bumped

acknowledgements Blanton
was given a hard bump when the
house refused by a vote of 1856 to 70
to expunge from the records a re-
Election on the windy congressman.
Congressman are privileged to ex-
tend their remarks in the Congress
sional Record, and Blanton has been
repeatedly accused of abusing this
privilege.
This week Blanton's usual custom
aroused Congressman Nolan, a mem
Der of the labor group, who made
this reference to the Texan:
81 want a man when he attacks
anybody to attack him to his face
and not steal into the Congressional
Record, like a thief in the night, be-
hind his back"
Blanton protested against this
statement, and the trade union law
maker asked that he be permitted to
withdraw it, because of its unparlia-
mentary tone. Other congressman
protested and on a roll call vote the
statement was ordered retained in the
Record.
The incident shows Blanton's
standing with his colleagues. While
he has attracted frst-page attention
by attacks on organized labor his
picayunish attitude on minor legis-
lation and his insistence for roll calls
that have cost the country it is esti-
mated, over 100000 because of loss
of time, has stamped him a common
scold.

CALLS

Washington - Director-G General OF
Railroads Hines refusal to grant a
satisfactory increase in wages threat
ems to bring on strike of 100000
members of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen. A strike vote has
been taken setting February % for
the walkout. The director general
has been notified that the contract be-
tween the trainmen and Government
will be abrogated February %. The
notice was filed January %.
The meeting between the director
general and the chief executives OF
the fourteen unions of shopmen and
transportation men was unsatisfac-
tory. The labor officials were pre-
sented with figures showing the en-
ployees had received a greater per-
centage of increase in wages than
the cost of living had advanced.
These figures, however, were de-
nounced by the labor officials, who
asked many pertinent questions. The
director general had the queries
taken down and then said that as
they needed investigation before
being answered he would like until
the next day to prepare the neces'
sary data.
The proposal Of the director-gen'
eral to appoint commission to &c
into the wage question proved a wet
blanket to the hopes of the official:
that he would grant the needed ad'
vance. AS the unions have waitec

Cost of Shoes

Boston-Claims that the high cost
of labor is responsible for the high
retail cost of shoes are answered by
Editor Baine of the Shoe Workers
Journal, who says:
"From authentic information which
we have before us, we know that
the increase in the actual cost of la
Dor in making the better grades of
mems shoes has been not to exceed
35 to 40 cents per pair.
at is true that most of this actual
increase in labor cost has CONS in the
last five years, or during the war
period, and these are the extreme ad-
vances in actual increase Of labor
cost.
"How many other expenses may be
figured as labor cost as a matter of
figuring, we are unable to say. We
only know our own end of the In
dustry.
"That an advance of not over 40
cents per pair on labor cost does not
account for the present price of shoes
is obvious. In the case of shoes, la
Dor is not the goat, and is not willing
to have the appearance Of being the
goat.
Speaking of goats reminds us
that goat skin leather is selling at
an advance of 500 per cent over pre-
war prices, with calf skin leather ap-
proximately the same. Sole leather
and side upper feathers are approx
matelv 300 per cent higher"

NEWARK SCHOOLS TO TEACH
AMERICANISM
(By John Bush)

"Let every American, every lover
of liberty, every well-wisher to his
posterity swear by the blood of the
revolution never to violate in the
least particular the laws of the coun-
try, and never to tolerate their viola
ton by others. Let reverence for the
laws be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe; let it be
taught in schools, in seminaries and
in colleges; let it be preached from
the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative
halls, and enforced in courts of JUS
tice; in short, let it become the pol
itical religion of the nation. While
feeling such as this shall prevail,
vain will be every effort, and fruit
less every attempt, to subvert our
nations freedom" abraham Lincoln.
Prizes totaling $100 are offered to
teachers and medals for pupils for
essays on subjects of American his
tory and principles of government.
In the Judgment of the writer this
project is the most logical, philosoph-
ical and American in principle Of any
plan conceivable for the purpose OF
the aggrandizement of the true prln-
ciples of Americanism, inasmuch as
it is identical with the views of his
idealist the immortal Lincoln, whose
| deliberation on Americanism is I'M
perishable and will never fade into
oblivion.
By whom, when and where this de-
sign was promulgated is not known;
and the fact that these persons do
not wish to have their names men
toned demonstrates the fact that
they are not seeking personal pomp,
but have the welfare of the nation
at heart. We Americans have had so
much camoufage thrown in our faces
of late that it is great consolation
as well as pleasing to hear of such a
proposition presented to US in this
manner, and whoever these Amerl-
cans are they deserve the loftiest
tribute for their magnanimous prin-
ciples.
A report will be made on each Of
the following in such detail that II
will show careful reading on the part
of the contestants: "1he oes OF
Our Own Household" by Roosevelt
The Life of Washington" by H. {
Lodge; "a Century of American
diplomacy" by Foster; the Declara
ton of independence; the Constltu'
ton of the United States; Washing
tons farewell address to his country
men and Hale's THE Man Without {
Country" A memory test will be
given on the "Star Spangled Banner,
the preamble to the Constitution o.
the United States and Lincoln's Get
tysburg address. All of the above
documents are composed of the mos
magnanimous thoughts ever con
ceived by the brain of man and it viii
not only be great benefit to the ma
ton to have them impressed upon the
minds of it's youths but it would, be-
yond doubt, be great help if some
of the glibbery tongued camoufleur'i
in our congress and senate, as wei
as private citizens, along with some
newspaper editors, take cognizanct
of the thoughts, advice and teach
ings therein implied.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-02-20

The railroads are to be insured a
return of 515 per cent for two years,
Kansas has enacted her anti-strike
law, the treaty is still in the doldrums
with Lodge still lodged against it.,
central Europe is no less hungry than
it was six months ago, the Italian
socialists have dicovered that ink
wells make good missiles, foreign ex-
change is growing sicker every day,
congress cares more about getting it
self reelected than about anything
else in the world (which would be
good reason for not re-electing most
congressmen), and the cost Of living
has not suffered the slightest relapse.
In view of all of which, perhaps the
man who volunteered to make the
jump to Mars in a rocket wasn't
such mutt after all.

AGAINST COMPULSORY
MILITARY TRAINING

We congratulate the Democrats in
congress who have gone on record
106 to II, declaring at is the sense
of this caucus that no measure should
be passed by this congress providing
for universal military service or
training"
That this was done despite a letter
from President Wilson, who advised
waiting until the national convention
in June, is all the more significant, as
showing that congress is hearing from
the people and that they are opposed
to Prussianizing their country.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-02-20

It becomes necessary for all those
who really wish for better conditions
for themselves not only to join the
union but to take live interest in
it's work, and to assist in making this
world a brighter and better one for
workers than it has basn in the past.

Arabs Bow to Airplanes,

Some of the most modern kinds of
warfare have been used in regions
where modern civilization had hardly
penetrated before. 1t is an interest
ing fact that the Arab, who had re-
manned unconquered while all the
great empires Of the world rose and
fell, IS at last succumbing before the
airplane. He has never admitted al
legiance to anyone but Allah and him
self, and has threatened the lines of
communication Of all the empires
Babylonian, Persian. Greek, Roman
and British. Even at the height Of
their power they could not overtake
his swift horses when he returned to
the desert after a raid.
But even the Arab horse has no
chance against the airplane. British
planes are now able to protect all
parts of the line from Suez to India.
The French have been using aviators
whose nerves went to pieces on the
western front to chase the wild tribes
men in the interior of Algeria. And
the Mad Mullah," when recently he
began to preach another Mohammedan
holy war, was routed by an expedition
of British and Italians, who used both
airplanes and tanks.

WOULD KEEP THE DEVIL BUSY
the Telegraph Must Be a
Good Thing.

When western civiliza ton first began
| to make its way into the Ottoman en-
! pire it provoked some very interesting
reactions upon the oriental mind. One
story that Sir William Whittall tells
shows how unquestiOnably even the
wisest Turks attributed the triumphS

abOliSm.
During the Crimean war, says Sir
William, the first telegraph was estab
lished in Turkey. This wonderful in
vention created tremendous astonish'
ment among the Turks, who were quite
unable to understand its workings.
Among the more intelligent the discus
sions were not concerning the scientific
principles that lay behind it but wheth-
err it was good or bad thing for
humanity.
To solve the question it was at last
decided to have a full debate by the
ulema Of the province Of Smyrna, over
which at that time very wise old null
lah presided. The meeting was held
and fierce was the contention. Half
the ulema declared that the telegraph
was good thing. because it Quickened
communications; the other half assert
ed that it could not be good. because
it was an invention Of the devil.
There seemed to be no way of arriv-
ing at conclusion, when some of the
Turks perceived Alat their chief, the
old mullah, had not yet expressed an
opinion. Both parties, therefore, ca
gerly pressed him for his ciew on the
subject and agreed to abide by his de-
cision. The old mullah replied:
MY children, the telegraph is good
thing"
what" said the conservatives in
dignantly. do YOU mean that it is
not work of the devil?"
"Oh, yes" replied the old man. Gas
suredly it is a work Of his; but why
are you so dull Of understanding. my
children? Can't you see that if the
devil is occupied going up and down
the wires with each message sent he
will have less time to trouble us NOR
tails on earth below?'

dom of their chief.-Turkish Stories
