FIGHT ON THE CLOSED SHOP

The Chicago federation of labor pre- Soses to lock horns with the United ates chamber of commerce on the
 2'iestion of the closed shop. With that
 i'd in view the federation has author Jed its president to appoint committee
 'i fifteen for the purpose of actively
 ing to battle with the United States ,.amber of commerce on the closed t-op proposition and of devising means si preventing open shops. Certain prin- -iples seem to have been clearly estab- iished and have their bearing at the out set of such a fight. One of them which is fundamental in it's application -s that no American citizen can be forced to join union, or any other or g4nization, under penalty of not being allowed to work because of his failure to do so. Should employers and employees choose to maintain the closed shop, that s their right, but no employer can leg

legally be required to discharge em- ployes simply because they are net members of a union. neither can he be forbidden to employ them for that rea- son.
 It cannot be said that any society is 8 free society where these principles are denied. If, in any trade, all the men in that trade were organized, there would be no such thing as closed shop, for there would be no one against whom 1t could be closed. But if there are men who for reasons satisfactory to themselves, do not see fit to join the union, that is their right, and the ss- sertion of that right can not be held to deny them that other right to make living at their trade. Yet this would be the effect of the compulsory en- toraement of the closed shop principle.
 It is suggested that both parties to the controversy inform themselves con cerning the law of the case. Nothing can be more important than the main tenance of American liberty, and of the institutions that protect it. This is the point which it is sleclally necessary to keep in mind for it is one on which there mus. be general agreensent.

Subway For Tokio.


 Tokio is to have subway the first in Japan, charter for which has just been granted. This is part of big plan for improvements in transportation facilities in Tokio and Osaka which will involve the expenditure of many mil liens of dollars. The decision of the au- thorities to undertake these improve ments has followed bitter complaints of poor service.
 Owing to the increasing population the street cars of Tol1io are so overcrowded that it is a common sight to see passen- gers hanging dangerously from the plat forms, while public taxicabs are insuf fieient to meet the demand. Tokio will spend $10, 100000 in street improve ment.
 A bigger project is under way for i'm proving Osaka which Japanese often call the Manchester of Japan because it is the chief center of the country's cotton industry. The proposed improvement of the streets alone will cost about s75,- 00G,o00. A new harbor is being built which will cost about 50,Ooo,ooo. Fifty per cent. of Osakas manufac- tured products are moved through the canals of the city and more will be dug. Fifty million dollars will be expended in constructing a modern sewage sys- lem.
 Tokio and Osaka, like New York, Lon don and Paris lack lodgings for the peo- pie. It is quite impossible to hire either a ''foreign-style'' or Japanese home in l Tokio. Hence the suburbs are constant 1 Iy extending.
 The city of Osaka covers an area of fourteen square miles which is expected to be trebled when the project of greater | Osaka is carried out.

MORE THAN ELECTING A PREsI-
 DENT

While we talk about electing pres ident and rally around the two names of Harding and Cox, it is we'll to re- member that this is not merely cam paign for the election of one or the other. It is to determine whether for the next four years we shall have a re- urn 10 representative government as de- lined by tke constitution, or whether we shall struggle along further under the sutocracy that has distinguished the Wilson administration.
 Senator Harding freely admits that he $ not big enough to run the whole gov srnnent alone. President Wilson with whom the democratic candidate. Govern sr Cox, finds himself "as one," has not 9esitated to lay down rules for the world and insist that they were the pro- duct of such supervision that it was ,nly men of small minds who would not accept them.
 Senator Harding is against one-man government and believes in party re- ~sPonsibility. He would choose a cabi- net of competent men and make the vice president a real factor in the gov- ernment He wants no rubber-stamp allegiance and subservience The logic this kind of policy requires that NIT. Harding be given authority as head of the executive branch of the gov Eminent, he should also he given the .- cooperation of a congress controlled by . members of his party.

When the king and queen and Princess Mary visit Ty1wald Hill during their tour of the Isle of Man they will see an historic but not an impressive spot. Nei- ther will the royal visitors find the "as- cent" tiring process, for the famous hill, on which the laws of the island are promulgated, cannot claim 8 great alti- tude.
 It is not even a natural feature, but an artificial circular mound a few feet high, which is ascended by steps. The name is derived from the islands legis- lature, both branches of which-the council and the houle of keys-assemble on the hill every year to hear the bills which they have passed promulgated be- fore they become law.
