MANAGEMENT AT FAULT.

Press reports regarding q survey re-
Gently made by the National Industrial
Conference Of various experiments with
systems of joint control in the clothing
industries sought to leave the impress
sion that tho conclusions to be drawn
were unfavorable. Newspapers, with
characteristic venom toward. workers,
emphasized the statement that produc~
tion had been generally reduced under
tho clothing trade contracts.
There is nothing in the report to JUS
tify this charge. On the contrary,
while the report carefully avoids draw
ing any final conclusions, it affords
much evidence of character wholly
at variance with these advance sum-
maries.
The testimony of employers in the
Chicago and Rochester markets shows
that tho agreements with the unions
have worked out satisfactorily in gen
eral. This is the conclusion Of Charles
H. Winslow concerning the Hart,
schaffner & Marx agreement.
"There can be no doubt that the
new system Of mediation and arbitra.
tiou has greatly benefited both parties.
The corporation has benefited not only
through the elimination of shop strikes
but also through increased efficiency
in production.
A member is quoted as saying that
he would not go back to the old way
Of dealing in thousand years. and
further:
~ am personally much concerned
that it become very clear to everybody
that the successful result of these de.
velopments has depended much less
upon the formal and external features
than upon the spirit with which it has
been worked out.''
Similar testimony is cited from many
other firms, all tending to the unescap.
able conviction that failures under the
agreement have been due almost en-.
tirely to the type Of management un-
der which they have been tried.
There is nothing new or startling in
this report. 1t simply confirms the ex-
perience of many intelligent, humane
employers that to secure the whole.
hearted cooperation Of workers it is
but necessary to meet them half way
and treat with them as human beings.

ADVERTISING A SOCIAL ULSTER.

The incident Of mobilized, marching
workers making a protest against un,
civilized conditions that have contin.
ued for more than year in Mingo
county, West Virginia, was made much
Of by the sensational press. Only a
few newspapers, however, grasped it's
real significance.
The incident assumed real import.
anee in that it directed attention to a
social ulcer that requires immediate
lancing. 1t has too long been neglect
ed for the public's own good. 1t demon
strates clearly that social unrest is
smouldering close under the surface of
the banked fire.
The fact stands out as plain as a
pikestaff that civil government no lon
ger exists in Mingo county; that the
authorities there are either impotent
to assert their perogatives or are veni-
ally and corruptly serving tho coal bar
ons who rule with the rigorous heart
!essness Of feudal overlords.
There is no protection for those who
questin to resist this usurpation
Rights everywhere regarded az inalien.
able are trampled under foot, and the
whole machinery Of government as an
active or passive agent Of industrial
autocraey that maintains itself with
hired mercenaries recruited from the
out-turnings Of penitentiaries.
The conservative Now York Post de.
clares that "this il a condition of af,
fairs which can not be allowed to con.
tinue.'
But it will continue until OUTRAGED
decencies, brought to bear upon. m in.

HOME, SWEET HONE.

Gently wrote q story in which he used
this expression: "There are many
songs that thousands, even millions
know. There is only one song that
every heart has sung, in eyery Ian
guage spoken on earth Home, Sweet
Home. When the worker comes
home from his daily drudgery, and
after tho faithful, loving wife has pre-.
pared supper, what Joy, what comfort
is his that his family is permitted to
eat, together, at least one meal a day.
The day was when the worker did
not have this privilege. Many days,
weeks and years passed when tho toll.
or came into tho homo late, the family
most times had eaten supper ahead Of
him-the mouths Of the little ones had
to be fed, they were hungry. Daddy
was not at his usual place At the table,
and tho little one, missed hearing the
blessing offered by Daddy-"Wo
thank Thee, Heavenly Father, for the
blessings Of this day, for the food set
before us,'' etc. It was because Dad.
dy way working either ten or twelve
hours each day-one hour to he added
for washing up'' and getting from,
his place Of work to his homo. But in
due time Daddy's organization to
which he belonged, aided in the untir,
ing and never'stopping efforts Of the
American Federation Of Labor; man.
aged to reduce the tiresonae days work
from ten or twelve hours to eight,
There was joy and comfort to be had
by all, and the wife and "kiddies" "
could sing in happy tones, "Be' it ever
SO humble there's no place like home"
Conditions are changing. Greed,
money'erazed capitalists, idolatry and
the like have taken hold Of this nation.
Profiteers, soulless corporations; Wall
street wolves, with their pet bird-the
buzzard-have issued an ultimatum to
interfere and stop tho toiler from. en-,
joying any of the home comforts. No
more eight hours for the unorganized
workers. Ten hours is the minimum
set. Twelve hours would satisfy, but
the employer is afraid to 60 too far
right now-that will come after while.
Yet in the face Of all this slippery:
tongued glib coming from the employ
ers who have told their employees won-
derful stories Of promised or coming
prosperity, if wages are lowered, hours
increased and no objections offered: to
working conditions, the unorganized
groups have accepted these conditions,
which means the singing new song,
Home, Wrecked Home.''
Organized labor, supported to the
limit by the American Federation Of
Labor, will never submit to the: wreck
ing Of our homes. We will sing aloud,
g Home, Sweet Home" until the. voices
Of nearly five millions Of workers, men
and women, vibrate clear around this
globe, and we will protect the sanctity
Of the home against the intrusion cr
Greed, Destruction and Poverty. Tkls
is not selfish battle carried on by or
ganized labor; we intend to. preserve
our family circle by everlastingly max
ing our voices ring with "Home, Sweet

ORGANIZED LABOR LEADS.

Every trade unionist should he
thrilled at the battle organized labor
is making against plutocracy and greed.
At no time in its history has the or
ganized movement resisted 80 many
flank and direct attacks.
These attacks are not only against
wage scales, working conditions and
trade unionism as such, but they ,u'
clude challenges to the very principles
Of democratic government.
The anti-union campaign, wagea
since the armistice, has never been OK
celled, either in extent OF unscrupulous
vigor. Every power at the command
Of autocratic capitalists has been
wheeled into the fight.
The result is eyident-labor was
never more militant. The spirit Of la
hor is unscathed.
The public is finally realizing that
labor is correct when it insists that
wage reductions lessen the workers
consuming power, and that this policy
intensifies industrial depression instead
of relieving it.
No other group of citizens are resist
ing the encroachment Of the judiciary.
Labor's voice is the ono cloar-eut pro.
test that fearloss]y and repeatedly calls
attention to these ''sappers" Of our
governmental institutions.
Labor alone has opposed cheap wage
employers who would Chinafy America
by first admitting coolie labor, in bond,
to Hawaii, territory of tho United
States.
Labor ha. aroused the country and
its vigilance has rescued tho nation
from one Of the meanest proposals plu'
tocracy is capable Of.
Another daring plan would deny a
preliminary hearing to citizen in the
Jurisdiction Of his domicile when az.
rested by order of a federal judge IN
another jurisdiction.
This attempt to legalize kidnapping
has been approved by the senate, where
it was sneaked through without pub,
licity.
AS in other crises, labor raised the
warning cry. Every A. F. of L. affili-
ate has been notified Of this menace to
American guarantees and law makers
have been called upon, again and again,
in language easily understood, that
they will be held to strict account If
tho federal judiciary of this country ~
given power that would shame the
founders of our nation.
Trade unionists may we'll be proud
of their movement. It's record Of
Americanism speaks for itself. Deeds
count-not words.
The comedy in these contests against
plutocracy are the lecturers and ad-
visers Of labor who have no connection
with the trade union movement who
would gladly assume the task Of "lead-
ing' the wage earners. This element
strives to attract attention to nones-
sentials, but they arc always absent at
the battle roll call.
The workers should glory in the tri-
umphs Of our weather beaten, time
tested trade unionsn.
Heads up for everyone!
A1itate! Educate! Orranize.
