CALIFORNIA UN|ON|STS
TO RESIST WAGE CUTS

LOS ANGELES, CAL, May s.
The barrase Of propagandists against
alleged high wages of building crafts
men did not affect delegates to the
annual convention of the California
state building trades council. These
uniOnists showed that living costs are
much higher. when compared with
1914, than wage increases, which have
averaged 80 per cent, while building
material prices are still as high as
400 per cent in many cases.

There is not an open shop plant

In conclusion the statement of the
Alliance says among other things:
''The Alliance is opposed to the boy
colt, to the disregard and breach of
contracts and to resort to threats, in
timidation and violence to enforce de-
mands of striking employees" but it
resorts to every one of such in its
effort to crush union labor in Duluth.
It has threatened to boycott firms
which sign up with union labor; it has
encouraged the plastering contractors
to ignore 80 days notice clause in
their contract with the union and it
compelled them to reduce the wages
of plasterers in violation Of the terms
of that contract. It has threatened
and inundated employers who have
been disposed to deal with their en-
ployes collectively. Its general pre-
fences and practices bear evidence
that the Citizens Alliance is positively
the worst menace with which Duluth
has ever been infested.

Too Varied Bookkeeping

There many kinds of bookkeeping, suspect from conflict which has arisen between the Nebraska railway commission and the Chicago Bur lington and Quincy Railroad company the pro- posal of the latter issue bonds in the amount of 100000 reimburse the treasury expenditures for Improvements during the last five years. The company also proposes to issue s3000000O to cover similar expenditures next year.
 The railway commission tells the inter state commission that there is necessity road increase its bonded indebtedness and thus lay broader foundation for claim for addi- tional charges It is prepared to show that in the last five years of s7S,OoOO00 net, and above interest charges and dividends at per cent; that the company earnings have been excess of all demands and that this should be turned into the treasury that the company is in no straits unless its desire further to swell dividends may be regarded financial straits. It has, says the commission already paid 25 per cent in dividends of which 15 per cent extra divi- dend.
 We suppose that the books of the railway com pany may be made to show the companys need of this further of it's bonded indebtedness and that from the same books the experts of the state commission can deduce that there is such need.

WORSHIP AND GOODWILL

That's the whole meaning of Christ mas,-worship and goodwill. Stcip- ped of all adyentitious growths, that is the idea which upholds this elab- crate institution known as Christ mas Glory to God-and on e1 tn peace among men of goodwill.
 Worship, The first Christmas wor- shippers were three Wise Men. This year there will be millions. The wonder of it is as fresh as the won der of springtime, or of birth, or of love. The world bends the knee be- fore it, lured by a quenchless hope. Can it all be true,-Child, star and angel song2 Christmas is the di vine answer. concentionalized into a human habit and written all over the world.
 There is nothing too good to be true, Goodwill can become the habit of mankind. The United States Steel Corporation can be run on that basis. The Star of that stubborn hope can brighten the dismal gloom of the Kansas coal fields. Men can labor together like brothers on this planet, and Christmas is the sign of it hung up boldly in the very sky.
 Somewhere on its long journey from Bethlehem to Phoenix Christmas has picked up a Santa Claus. We love the old gentleman; we have no slight est quarrel with him. But there can be Christmas without him. The wise men brought gifts, but the gifts did not make Christmas. That was iT the manager and in their hearts. Gifts symbolize the idea, but they are not the idea. He who truly loves his fellow-man on Christmas morning is happier than he who whose stocking IS distended with bonds and book: and diamonds but who cares nothing for the passionate human drama be ing played all about him.

Dives and his wife drive home again, feeling a glow of warmth within them, but on the morrow it is gone, and they are disillusioned and hard ened yet more.
 Christmas is not the rich mans op- portunity to square himself with heaven and his own soul. Any other day is. The poor may bless him but he can hardly bless the poor-on Christmas. Jesus was a poor man. The stable and the hut bless the man. sion, if they are richer in the trea- sures of that Child's benevolent heart. The oppressed can bless the oppres- sors. But it will be a sad day for the world when we look up to the rich and powerful to make Christmas | for us.
 For the Christmas idea is not money butslove. In some homes the | cry will be heard: Times are SC hard that we cannot have much ! Christmas this yearl' Is God bank rupt? Have the springs of love and of hope been quenched? Are there nc oren doors for neighborly feet to en- 1 ter: no kindness needed. nor friendly cheer? Indeed this should be a won derful year for a Christmas, for who ever has a carol in his heart and the

The Last of the Hapsburgs
Charles of Hungary last of Hapsburgs, disappears
BY DR. FRANK CRANE Copyright, 1921, by Frank Crane)

Charles of Hungary last of Hapsburgs, disappears into exile.
 He is a picturesque and pathetic figure.
 He not only represents the petering out of noble family but what is more tragic, the petering out of dead idea.
 He illustrates the senility of the idea of heredty
 Heredity is notion that the world clung to through good many centuries, trying to find thing stable upon this earth of change. We are just awakening to the fact that nothing is stable unless it can change
 Charles is not only the last of the Hapsburgs but he has better right to be called the last of the Caesars than William of Hohenzollern.
 Many authorities regard the House of Hapsburg the legitimate continuation of the line of Caesars
 As one says, "The Hapsburgs of royal and imperial rank long before the Hohenzoerns petty quarresome, but undstinguished East German poten- tates. Whereas the oldest German empire older than it's monarchy
 But even that is not quite accurate.
 Guglielmo Ferrero, in his recent interesting volume, "The Ruin of the Ancient Civilization" says that until the time of Septinus Severus the Roman Empire never acknowledged the hereditary dynasc principle the base of its organization The Emperor like the republican magistrates, only acquired his power by election; percentage or birth was never accepted legitimate title to authority"
 Hereditary monarchy is affair of the East and only grafted to Europe by the general influence of organism throughout the Middle Ages
 Charles therefore is typical rather of an extinct idea or a moribund idea than of declining house. Personally he is of no importance Like most hered itary kings, he secondraer Continuous heredty has produced first-class men.
 The really great men of the race the leaders, the men of distinction originality, and power always from the common soil of the population ;. Monarchy is a somewhat frantic and intrinsically absurd effort to avoid the recurring confusion of cleo . tons. 1t does not even do that. q For in England, for instance, where exists prob ably the most successful monarchy it is one only in name and the violence of political turmoil goes on just the with the clash of parties, and the King is so removed from 1t that he has practically little nothing ! to do with the whole business
 As matter of fact, the real life of the people goes on in its voluntary organizations Government has very little to do with it, and in the course of evolution q it will finally be relegated into nsgnificance The great problem today is how to get rid of gov fl ernment much as possible e As for the of choosing governors 1t makes little difference. One may have monarch as figure 7 head or we may elect president may decide q who is to be national representative in some other e way
 Probably in time to shall decide by draw ing straws shaking dice, which will be as good way as any.
