AMERICANISM TALK
That Which Teaches Things As They Are, Rather Than As They Should Be, 8 Menace.

South Hadley, Mass, Oct. Lone hundred per cent Americanism that insists upon teaching things as they are rather than how to make them as they should be is a menace which will ''strangle free thought in it's cradle" said President M. Carey Thomas of Bryn Mawr college in an address today at the Founders Day celebration at Mount Holyoke col lege.
 Before the exercises at which she spoke the officers of the senior class placed laurel wreaths upon the grave of Mary Lyon. founder of Mount Holyoke.

PREDICTS GOOD YEAR
Yale Authorities Look Forward to Excellent Season With Rowing: Crews at New Haven.

CreWl at New Haven.
 New Haven Oct 7.-Tha greatest year in Yale rowing is forecast in the current issue of tho Yale Alumni Weekly which, through Albert H. Bar clay, '91. one Of tho, best known among tho alumni who have followed this sport as an observer, analyses con- ditions as the training period begins. It is pointed out by MT. Barclay that no American college has ever before had the advantage of three profession al English coaches working as a unit. The great increase in the number of men who have gone into rowing since the war. has made three coaches neces- sary.
 In reference to the stroke to be taught, the analysis emphasizes that Head Coach Corderry has modified the English stroke by 1engthening the slide, increasing the leg work and cut ting down thu body swing. Tho broad CT bladed American oar will bo used and the English shells less and less The men will sit over the kelson and not on alternate sides. These changes are based on Coach Corderry's exper- ienco with the 150 pound crew last spring. q.

AID TO HOME
BUILDERS
Tax Exemption on Build
ing Association Deposits
is Valuable Piece of
Legislation
Will DO Much Toward Solv-
ing Housing Problem,
Says Dayton News
paper

The new revenue law exempting
building and loan depositors from in
come taxes on their savings means a
big thing to thousands of people in
this community as the number of de-
positors in the building associations in
this city is large, and the amount of
deposits is also large 1t will be
great help to local home builders.
Speaking of this law, the Dayton,
Ohio, Journal editorially says:
One of the most valuable pieces of
legislation enacted by any congress
in recent years, is the provision in
the new tax revision measure which
provides that incomes up to $500
from building and loan association
dividends are to be exempt from in
come taxation 1t means cheaper
money for home building, which will
go far toward solving the housing
situation.
Under this measure the saver is not
taxed. He is encouraged to save and
can save without paying big portion
of the dividends his savings will
earn to the government for taxes. He
can be assured of safety and fair re-
turn for his money He need not sac
rifice the first to obtain the second.
Up to $500 the dividends he receives
are exempt from income taxes, and
further the building and loan associa-
tions which he patronizes and makes
possible are exempt.
Saving is the salvation Of the man
and ultimately it may mean the sal
walton of the country A thrifty per-
son is an Industrious person. He
loves to work to save. And while he
is helping himself he is helping 9TH
ers and his country, which needs
more home owning citizens. Where
the saver is, Bolshevism cannot be
and radicalism must perish They are
inconsistent and incompatible-exact
opposites.
The building and loan associations
offer the maximum of safety and a
good rate of interest consistent with
safety They make dollars useful.
And if they are to enjoy their full
measure Of benefit, there must be less
expenditure of money in wildcat
stocks and more placing of funds in
legitimate institutions for saving
This congress has sought to encour-
age by exemption from income taxes
up to the amount of $500. 1t is Civ
ing everybody chance to save by
taking off the penalty which hitherto
has existed in a measure against
saving, and the state as a whole will
soon begin to show the effects of this
wise policy in more and better build
ings"

OPEN SHOP ADVOCATE
FRANKLY UNFOLDS PLAN FOR COMPLETE
DOMINATION OVER EMPLOYEES MAIN
TANNING "OUR LIBERTY is MEN
AGED BY ORGANIZED LABOR
Declares Boss is Dictator of Conditions and Never Safe
To Employ considerable Sprinkng of
Union Men

New York - The frankest and
clearest exposition of the so-called
"open" shop that has been made by
any of its advocates can be credited
to Paul R. Ramp, foundry superintend-
ent of the Advance -Rumely Company,
Battle Greek, Mich
Mr. Ramp writes in the Iron Age,
current issue This magazine is cir
culated among business men, rather
than Mr.. Average Citizen, who is sup
posed to be scenery when anti-union-
lists stage their well-known drama,
Our Liberty is Menaced by Organiz-
ed Labor"
The Battle Greek man makes no at
tempt to fool himself or his readers.
He tells business men that the "open"
shop means no collective bargain
ing; that the employer is absolute
dictator of wages and working condi-
tions, and that it is never safe to
employ considerable sprinkling of
union men,"
Iron founders are warned that the
establishment of the anti-union shop
is costly venture, as it is necessary
to break in" unskilled workers,
thereby implying that the Iron Mold
ers' Union has the skilled workers.
Some times," he says, ''it becomes
necessary to discharge a man because
he complains about a price on his
work in order to discourage any dis
position on the part of the men to try
to get fair prices raised.
Nov that you have an opap' shop,
and you are your own shop committee
and your own business agent, you
must establish your own methods of
making piece work prices, and not at
any time allo wthe old-time plan of
negotiating with the molder for a
lower price prevail Such actions lead
to discussions among your men on
what should be paid, and discussion
leads to collective bargaining"
This is a straight-from- -the-shoulder
hint that when employers want to re-
duce wages they should reduce them,
and not make the mistake of talking
the matter over with employees, as
this might lead to united action by
these workers.
Where worker is dissatisfied with
wages, Mr.. Ramp suggests;
He Che worker) needs your help
at this time, just as much as he
required it in the beginning, and you
must use strenuous efforts to get him
lined up, or you will be obliged to
discharge him. Take him in the of
fee and convince him that he is only
in the primary department of the
business, and that he is of no special
value to you; that he reeds you more
than you need him.
You can finally settle with him
by giving certain task to do and
agree that when he can do this task
satisfactorily you will pay him more.
You are losing nothing and are help
ing him to realize that he has a great
deal more to learn; and as he goes
at the work laid out for him his men
tai condition will gradually change
and you have good man who viii
give you no more trouble
AN open shop is never safe with
a considerable sprinkling of union
men in it. There is always the great
danger of the shop being quietly or
ganized."
Mr. Ramps blunt statements are
refreshing change from the sob stuff

FURTHERS SLAVERY
SAYS LAWMAKER OF PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
TO CONGRESS IN WHICH HE EXPRESSES
SYMPATHY FOR "CANT-STRIKE'
LEGIS LATION
Pernicious Law Would Tur Back Stream of Time To
Day of Manacle for Workers, Declares
HuddlesOn

Washington.-.I wonder if the
president remembers the thirteenth
amendment to the constitution?
81 wonder if he knows that slav-
cry is forbidden in America?
II wonder if he realizes for what
principle all the blood was shed in
the civil war?
'1s he trying to turn back the
stream of time and bring back into
this country the day of the manacle,
when serfs will be made to work at
the dictates of their master?
Are we to establish in this pro-
fessedly democratic country an autocr
racy of employers of labor.?"
The above questions were asked by
Congressman Huddleson, of Alabama,
in spirited attack on that portion of
President Harding's message to con-
gress in which he expressed sympa-
thy for "can't-strike" legislation.
"And what does the president mean
-analyze the language in which it is
framed" continued the lawmaker.
1T needs no emphasis from me. 1t is
as clear as words can make it that
the policy of the ADMINISTRATION does
not contemplate mediation nor mere
arbitration courts, such as the rail-
road labor board, but has in view
labor tribunals such as the Kansas
industrial court.
ut means courts with power to
stand over the men who toll and say
to them, You will not quit your job.
Your occupation is charged with a
public interest and you shall continue
to labor for such wages as we shall
decide are fair and just. You shall
not strike before having your dis
putes decided by us 1t means a pol
icy on the part of this administration
which will take away the right that
working men in this country have had
to decide their own affairs for them
selves.
''It means that men will be thrown
into jails who dare to strike without
asking the permission of some court
created by congress and composed of
the appointees of the present admin
istration.
3 ''It has remained for the chief ex-
ecutive of this nation to recommend
a policy toward men who labor be-
yond comparison with any govern
ment in the world.
'As between workers and employ
ers, fights can never be altogether
fair fights. Each side in labor fight
has different things at stake. With
an employer it is a matter, perhaps,
of some more bank shares or a finer
home; perhaps a marble palace in
stead of one of brick 1t is merely
a matter of another limousine or
another cluster of jewels for his wife
and another aigrette in her bonnet.
1t is merely a matter of profits from
his plant. Oh, it is not such an aw-
fully important matter with the en-
ployer. But with the man who tolls
his bread is at stake.
"The struggle between the employer
and employe can never be a fair
fight. One has in the scale only a
question of profits. The other has the
means of existence for his wife and
children at stake.
"Such fight can never be fair
fight, yet when conditions are even
fairly equal, when there is a measure
of prosperity, then you may have a
certain admisration for the hard
handed employer who goes down into
