LABOR UNIONS

Labor Unions, the cause of so
much industrial trouble and disad-
vantage in the world at present, are
OBVIOUSLY the natural outgruwth OF
past capitalistic intolerance, greed
and selfishness.
Labor to protect itself from the
domination Of capital. naturally saw
need for the establishment of Labor
Unions, and no one could blame them
for this If they had only remained
content with Il fair and square deal
and were willing that non-union men
should be free to labor when and
where they chose without fear Of mo-
lestation. but this they have failed
to do. and thus they and their tyran-
meal system OF brute force, have
been placed under the ban OF public
disapproval and disrespect.
Any system that denies a person
the right to labor under threats of
violence. for whom he or she prefers.
Is Numerically in opposition to the
wise and just laws of our glorious
Republic, and therefore does not III

manners. indeed II is opposed TO all

Various methods for the lust and
rroper solution OF these differences
have from time to time been tried
but have always, through the stub,
born attitude OF mnwise union lead
ers, failed. Indeed with the lapse of
time. tho dangerous chasms that i'm.

ests OF capital and labor. seem TO grow

ned as follows: 1--WE have been
charged with trying to introduce a
Puritan Sunday. In my opinion one
old Puritan father with his broad
brimmed hat and sombre garb is
worth more to the civilization OF
America than 10000 of the modern
sort"
Thirty-four times in the past thir-
teen years, he said, vicious bills to
annul the Sunday law had been in
troduced in various states. Only
one has been introduced in the Jer-

one, backed by the Hebrews. likely

The High Visibility of Detectiues

rubber heels at important street cor
ners and invariably, In order to make
themselves more inconspicuous, engage
in intimate back slapping conversa-
tions with police sergeants and cap
tains.
When operating In residential dis
tricts they often use an automobile,
parking in the most conspicuous place
on the street. OF course, the idea is
to merge themselves with the numerous
automobile bandits also parked along
the street, and in this way escape sus.-
picion. Unfortunately, the bandits look
like detectives and the detectives look
like bandits, so their purpose Is de-
feated.
pUT the high visibility Of detectives
- need not trouble the timid citizen.
A new idea is being worked out in large
cities. The plan is to arrest and jail
all the law abiding citizens and all the
police officers who wish to maintain law
and order.
This will leave the city to the ban
dts, who, having no one else to prey
on, will prey on each other, much in
the fashion of the Kilkenny cats.
When the bandits are all dead the
law abiding citizens and the police off :
GERS can come out of their nice warm
jails into q free world once more. 1t
Is a beautiful thought. Hold It.

Certainly there Is nothing in the
