Ignoring the Third. Party

The Journal has been asked for in
formation respecting the exact sit
uation of the wage disputes now un-
derstood to exist in this city There
are three parties to these disputes.
the emIl oyer, the employe and the
public, which pays the fare for all.
The employee in this instance has
recognized the existence of this third
party to the controversy and has
published labor's side of the case. AS
yet the employer has not cared to
do SO, though he has been requested
to give information. Possibly he
doesn't care to admit that the public
has anything to do, with the affair
except to pay whatever he and his
employees may decide shall be paid.
Possibly, but, if one cares to consider
the comparatively small number of
our citizens who are deciding just
what the comparatively large num-
Der of citizens shall do. it may be
concluded that public sentiment is a
thing to be taken into the reckoning
We believe the public, who are many
thousands, as compared with the

MIR. Employer, you Start
(From "Mr. .Ford's Page" Of the
Dearborn independently

Much of the industrial propaganda
used today is an effort to make
words do the work of acts. If an
employer would convince his men
that he is square, that his interest is
in their welfare as well as his own,
he cannot do it by speeches and bull,
letins. He must do it by acts-acts
that cost him something. Too much
of the propaganda which is used to
abdte unrest is devoted to telling the
Workinsman what he ought to do. 1t
would be good thing if the initia-
tive came from the other side. Mr..
Employer, isn't it your move"

The Place of the Party.

The Federal Constitution does not
have single word to say regarding
political parties, nor does it appear
that they were considered as likely
to develop, by the Trainers of our
fundamental law. The electoral COL
lege which the Constitution makers
thought to be the crowning achieve
ment of their work was intended to
be a non partisan agency for select
ing the best man in the country for
President and the second best man
for vice president. 1t was proven q
failure and the twelfth amendment
was adopted to remedy the fault. The
amendment has not worked to make
the electoral college what the faith
ers intended and the reason is the
existence of political parties
Almost from the beginning of the
history of the United States parties
have existed, although party govern
ment is not by any means unique
with this country. 1t exists uni
vcrsally except in autocratic states
and, while there are more or less
evils connected with political parties.

give expression to the opposing
views that may be taken Of every
question, each of which contains a
measure of truth and right:

that political parties are ? necessary

This danger is always present and
always to be guarded against. 1t
