NEW SAFETY DIRECTOR

Leonard G.. Graham, accountant at
the Newark Buick Co., has been Sc
lected by Mayor Atherton to fill the
position of Safety Director, made
vacant by the resignation of Lee S.
Pemberton. The appointment was
made Tuesday afternoon and Mr..
Graham Immediately assumed his
duties.
The Leader heartily cogratulates
Mr.. Graham, and believes his appoint
ment will meet with the universal APP
proval of the general public. He has
lived in Newark all his life, his record
for honesty and fair dealing is with
out blemish ,and his ability to handle
the responsibility of this important
position is beyond question.

WORKERS PAY LITTLE ATTEN.
TION TO LEGISLATION

The American workingman is a
strange individual. Along about elec-
ton time the politicians pat him on
the back and tell him what an i'm
portant parsonage he is. He'll then
line up with his party and vote for
men just because they happen to be
candidates of his particular party.
But he'll pay no attention to pro-
posed legislation, and the politicians
know this. The result is that the big
interests, who control the politicians,
are forever trimming the wage-earner.
Take, for instance, the "ripper"
that is now in preparation in Colum-
bus. How many workers know, or
care, that this "ripper" will abolish
the industrial commission and place
the administration of the workmen's
compensation law in the hands of
Executive officers" these latter to
be dependent upon to wreck the law.
The Ohio workers fought for more
than 20 years for the initiative and
referendum. The present legislature
is quietly and effectively killing the
law. The workers don't seem to be
paying any attention.
Is it any wonder the politicians hold
the working man in contempt?

CONCENTRATION OF WEALTH

Thomas w. Lamont OF the House of
Morgan, discussed Federal taxation
in one Of the current magazines.
He finds that only one and one-half
per cent. of the population of the
United States made returns of tax
able incomes in 1917. About 90 per
cent. paid 261s per cent. of the total
individual income taxes, while the
balance-only two per cent paid
1912 per cent. of the taxes.
Mr.. Lamont thinks he has found an
argument against the income tax.
But he hasn't.
The fact that three-ten thousandths
of the population paid almost three
fourths of the income tax does not
prove that the income is bad thing.
1t does prove that the wealth of this
country has been concentrated in a
few hands, and that is a bad thing.
Instead of repeating the income tax
statesmen should busy themselves de-
vising methods by which we may
secure a more equal distribution Of
wealth and thus make it possible for
the 90 per cent. of American citizens
to pay an income tax.
Of course Mr.. Lamont and the
others who spoke for the over-bur-
dened 2 per cent. do not want that
kind of relief.
Mr. Lamont also points out that
Ga per cent. Of the income and excess
profits taxes comes from five states
Illinois, Massachusetts, New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania-and he thinks
that is also an argument against
those taxes. But 1T isn't.
1t merely shows that wealth has
concentrated IN those states. Rich
men for various reasons have become
residents Of thes tates named, and
because of their presence the taxes
IlIcy pay are CI6ulIeu W CIOSe states.
The money which enables them to
pay the taxes comes in large part
from other states.
The income tax is a good thing be-
cause it is a tax on wealth. 1t COM
pels men to contribute to the cost of
government according to their ability
to pay.
The men who are seeking to destroy
the income tax would like to force the
poor man to pay as much as the rich
man.
And they will succeed unless the
people keep close watch on the next
Congress. a.

LABOR'S CONFERENCE WILL
PROVE HISTORIC

The conference of trade union rep
resentaitves in Washington, February
%. was a breaker, and will prove
historic.
One feature of this gathering was
labor's solidarity. There were no So
radicals" There were 10 groups or
radicals There were no groups or
dissension. The only differences We're
whether trade union declarations
could be made stronger. The de-
bates were high class and marked by
a confident and determined spirit.
There were no fatastic spe 'ches,
and no impossible programs suggest
ed to resist industrial autocrdt6 VINO
would smash the trade union move
Iaent.
at is a condition, not a theory"
that confronted these trade unionists,
an they acted accordingly.
No part of the proceeding can
offer the slightest encouragement to
opponents, who must now realize that
their anti-union campaign since the
armistice has not affected the mCraie
Of organized labor.
The declarations for human liberty,
so often made by the trade union
movement, were again reaftirmed, and
methods devised to vitalize and ener-
gize them as never before.
These trade unionists are alert to
the forces against them. The power
of these forces was not minimiZed,
but this did not have the slightest
effect on men and women who are
striving to get the story Of trade
unionism into the heart and mind of
wage earners.
This confident spirit was shown in
the call for workers everywhere to
ioin the union of their trade or call
ing, to intensity their fight for Ameri-
can guarantees, and to ignore labor
~iniunctions. A more extensive in
formation and educational program
vas outlined.
The conference was a success. 1t
was practical and inspirational. 1t
again proves-if proof were neces-
sary-that labor is solidified and en-
thusiastic in it's contest against in
dustrial and judicial autocrats.

LABOR'S BIGGEST FIGHT

The very center of the battle of the
workers in the United States is now
before the Railroad Labor Board, in
the controversy between the roads
and the unions, over the abrogation
of the national agreement.
AS told by Frank P. Walsh and B.
NJ Jewell, in their last appearance
before the board, the issue is not
wage nor even the working conditions
contained in the national agreement.
Not even, now, the national agree
ment itself, as such, but the principle
of national collective bargaining.
The Esch- -Cummins' bill, passed for
the railroads by camplaisant con-
gress against the opposition of labor,
and signed by President Wilson after
labor had protested and asked him to
veto it, nevertheless provides for ma
tional collective bargaining between
the roads and their employees.
The railroads have taken advantage
of every provision of the bill that is
of profit to them. They have pooled
their management nationally so as to
get operating and financial advant-
ages and then, thus combined on
national scale, they not only start
out to fight labor, but they insist on
weakening labor for that fight, by
not permitting the unions to nego-
tiate with them as national unit,
although the roads themselves arrive
at their decisions respecting labor, in
national conferences of railroad exc
cutives.
When the Railroad Labor Board
made its decision not to abrogate at
once the national agreements and per-
nit wage cuts, workers may have
been deluded into suspecting that the
board had frustrated the railroads
effort to split up the unions into
small units. Such is not the case.
The board merely deferred action and
refused to be stampeded into snap
decision. The roads then countered at
once by announcing that all their
future complaints would be brought
in by separate railroads as individ-
uals, after comforting with-not the
unions-but the employees of the indi-
vidual roads.
In other words, having combined
to make themselves more powerful.
they insist on splitting up the unions,
for conferences, to make them weak.
If the roads succeed they will defeat
the railroad workers in the most vital
struggle those workers ever have
entered.
They also will destroy the Railroad
Labor Board as a useful instrument.
1t remains to be seen whether Walsh
and Jewell can pump enough CUTS
into the board to assert itself and
save it's own existence. 1t also le-
mains to be seen whether the Rail-
road Labor Board is going to try to
be fair.
Whatever the decision Of the Rail
road Labor Board, the railroad work
ers cannot afford to let the railroads
get away with their scheme. If they
impose the "open" shop on the rail-
roads, it will be many a day before
the labor movement will retake the
ground lest.

AUSTRALIA WANTS TEAM IN
 FRANKLIN FIELD MEET

Philadelphia, Nov. S-Australia Is to send a team of runners to the relay race on Franklin field here next April but the University of Pennsylvania has regretfully cabled the antipodeans that conditions for next year make it more or. less impossible to finance the scheme. The offer came from the Uni- versity of Sydney which wants to meet Americas s best in a distance medley relay on Pennsylvanias famous track.
 Pennsylvania is under 8 promise to race in England next spring if Ox- ford and Cambridge succeed in getting up a meet along the lines of Pennsyl- vania's relay carnival which has grown to be one of the worlds great college athletic meets. The Achilles Athletic club made up of Oxford and Cambridge men hope to hold relay meet in the last week of March or first week oH April for schools and colleges, and in that event a, Pennsylvania team would cross the Atlantic to compete and be back in time for the home relays on April 2S-29. -
 Because of the expense attached to the proposed trip, it was stated, Penn- sylvania could not undertake to guar antee expenses to an Australian team because of the great distance the run ners would have to come. Pennsylvania athletic officials, however, hope to have Australia represented in some future meet.
 English and French athletes have competed on Franklin field, the Eng lishmen twice winning the principal events which they entered.
