The PeSsimiSt

The pessimist's a funny man, he al
ways looks around;
He never sees the pretty girls, but
only sees the ground.
And when he goes to see a girl, he
wrings his hands and cries,
He always sees the freckles, but he
never sees her eyes.
And when he sees a picture he al
ways makes me faint
He never sees the picture, but only
just the paint.

LAWYERS HAVE A BIG LEAD IN
CONGRESS

The new Congressional Directory of
the Sixty-seventh congress has just
been issued from the government
printing office. Senators and Repre-
sentatives write their own biographies
for this publication, thus they may be
taken as more or less authentic. A
careful perusal of the new directory
shows that 275 members of the House
and 63 members of the Senate give
their occupation as lawyer, thus assur-
ing this profession safe majority in
both branches of the national law
making body. Lawyers can always
be depended upon to look out for their
own interests when manufacturing
laws for themselves and their clients.
Of course there are millions more
wage workers than lawyers in this
country, eligible to hold down seats in
the lawmaking bodies of the States
and nation, but the workers prefer to
vote for lawyers instead of support
ing men and women from their own
ranks. Hence the workers get what
they are entitled to receive-just like
the rooster on the chopping block
The Labor Union.

TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD
SOLDIER
By Carl Holiday

Oh, you whose dust is laid to rest
Among these famous dead,
We know not whether East or West
Your youthful valor bred;
We know not if from mansion tall
Or lowly hut you came;
We only know that at Gods call
You gave your life-and name.
Oh, nameless one whose form lies here
Within this earthen bed,
No earthly title yours, but clear
In Gods own Book is read
A name inscribed in words a-fame;
'Tis Martyr for the Right"
Beneath is writ; unknown to fame,
But precious in my sight"
The centuries will come and go,
And wars may cease to be;
But ever more light will glow
Above this grave where he
Who gave his life, his name, his all,
Lies sleeping meath the sod.
He lost a name lest right should fall,
But gained a name from God.

Hard After Labor
CHE WHOM THE LORD LEVETH
HE CHASTENETH"
Labor Unions in Far Off Hawaii Are
Being SOrely Prosecuted By Big
Sugar Planters Combination
(By Federated Press)

Honolulu-Kickedo out of their meet
ing halls by summary notices to va
cate, the Central Labor Council and
II unions affiliated with the A. F. of
l.. have been forced to seek temporary
quarters until relief can be obtained
by the erection of a suitable building
on property not controlled by the
plantation interests or those under
the planters domination.
When the delegates to the Central
Labor Council met at Kamehameda
Alumni Hall the other night they
of all furniture, their charters taken
from the walls and the banners and
property of the different organizations
piled up in an anteroom. The Council
was forced to meet in a small COM
mittee room in the rear and there they
received the first notice of their evic-
ton, together with a bill for that
nights rent. Similar notices have
been sent to all labor organizations
meeting in this hall and the same ac-
tion has been taken against those
meeting in Carpenters Hall, the home
of all the smaller unions.
This campaign of eviction is under
stood by all the organizations to be in
retaliation for the stand taken by the
labor unions against the sugar plant
ers' pet scheme for the importation
of Chinese coolies into Hawaii. 1t is
cited as nexample of the tactics to
which the sugar interests have re-
sorted in their efforts to coerce labor
into an endorsement of the measure
now before Congress-.
The trustees of the Bishop Estate,
who control the property Of the
Kamehameda Alumni Association,
are among the most influential of the
plantation-misionary group and are
able to exercise what amounts to a
practical dictatorship of the industries
of the territory, and they are using
this power ruthlessly to crush organ
lied labor, reduce wages, and replace
citizen workers with orientals.
The workers, however, are resisting
to their utmost. The movement to
build a labor temple is gaining i'm
petus and everywhere it is becoming
apparent that if labor expects to hold
it's ground it must break down all
racial barriers and organize upon in
ternational basis.

The Aftermath
STATEMENT BY BROTHERHOODS
AND LABOR BOARD
The Railroad Managers Are Not Sure
Whether or Not They Have After
All Defeated Workers
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-Post-m statements
on the railroad strike set for October
and called off two days before are the
order of the day. The Brotherhoods
have issued a statement reviewing the
history of the dispute and setting
forth their position. The LabQF
Board has issued a warning that III
the future workers who strike againdt
board decisions will forfeit their
contracts.
The Brotherhoods' statement scores
the metropolitan press for its misrep-
resentation of the workers position.
1t also analyzes the memorandum OF
the Labor Board on procedure which
Vice Chairman Hooper discussed with
the Brotherhood committees Friday
and which brought about the strike
recall. 1t notes the crowded condi-
ton of the Labor Boards dockeger nd
the failure of the roads and thef<F M
ployes to organize voluntary srA- st
ment boards, whose work of Id
prevent numerous cases comineeet to
the board.
The resolution then states: "We
construe this to mean that the Labor
Board will lend it's support to the or
ganizations in their efforts to induce
the carriers to speedily organize such
adjustment boards"
Vice Chairman Hooper of the
board has demanded for the board
the right to infict penalties for yio-
lation of it's decisions so that strikes
will be prevented. Railroad presidents
like Samuel M. FELTON, of the Chicago
Great Western assert that the plan
Of the executives to demand further
reduction in wages is unshaken.
With the withdrawal of the strike
order by the railroad brotherhood
executives, railroad financiers and
managers are not sure that they have
won.
The strike order was annulled when
the railroad labor board announced
that it would consider the wage re-
duction demands after working con-
ditions were considered. This means
a postponement, although the rail
roads will press their demand for
lower wages.
Financial writer's, expressing the
views of bankers and railroad owners,
clearly indicate that the owners want
6u d SCTlke. OI0 WTlIeE Ill lOCdl
newspaper expresses this opinion:
Sentiment generally favors
the view that the progress of the
railroads toward readjustment
has been seriously halted through
the stopping of the strike; that
such a venture would have been
turned into defeat in short order,
and that thereby the needed re-
adjustment in wages might
speedily be accomplished, where
as under the agreement with the
labor board, wage cuts may be
suggested, but it is not likely that
any actual reductions will be
made for months to come"
Much publicity is now devoted to
the need for supplying the railroad
labor board with "teeth" to enforce
its decisions, but this claim was not
heard when the railroads were vio-
lating decisions by the labor board
Neither have the railroads been
censured for ignoring the railroad la
Dor board when they issued their wage
cut order, which resulted the strike
order.
