PRETENSE IS
CAST OFF
BY Anti-Unionists in Cam
paign for open
Shop"

Washington" "Reactionary employ
ers have joined their might in cam
paign which they are pleased to call
a campaign for the open shop which
they have been waging vigorously
since the signing of the armistice, .
declared the conference of trade union
representatives, held in this city Feb
ruary %
Compelled by the pressure of pub
lie opinion to accept labor's co-opera-
tion during the war, when the utmost
conservation of productive energy was
necessary tc the life Of the nation.
they cast off all pretense Immediately
upon the passing of the emergency.
This entire campaign on the part
of the combined reactionary employers
is in no sense campaign for the
open shop, nc matter what defini-
ton may be given to that term The
campaign is distinctly and solely)
one for a shop that shall be closed
against union workmen 1t is prmar-
lily a campaign disguised under the
name of an open shop campaign;
designed to destroy trade unions and
to break down and eliminate the
whole principle Of collective bargain
ing, which has for years been accept
ed by the highest industrial authori-
ties and by the American people as
principles based upon justice, and es-
tablished permanently in our indus
trial life.
mot only during the war, but dur
ing every year since the labor move
ment has had place in or industrial
life, it has justified its existence and
proved the necessity therefor, by
making possible the necessary CO.
operation between employers and
workers on the one hand, and on the
other hand by rescuing the workers
from autocratic domination and de
veloping for them standard of liv-
ing and of working conditins fitting
to American citizenship. The Ameri-
can trade union movement is here be-
cause it is a necessity"

BANKERS FAIL OF
PROMISE
Accused of Sinking BY
Financial Writer

Philadelphia you are Sinking
your duties and responsibilities" is
the opening declaration by B. C. For
bes, financial writer, in an open letter
to the bankers of America, published
in the Public Ledger.
with much beating of tom toms
you announced three months ago that
you were to organize a 100000, ,000
foreign trade financing corporation, tc
enable American concerns to sell
goods to the people OF other countries
on long term credit, and thus keep
our factories and mines and furnaces
and railroads and ships busy and our
wage earners employed says Mr.
Forbes.
"You bankers have fallen down mis-
erably You control $4,000 financial
Institutions Your profits last year
were the largest in history The ar
rangement made by yonr leaders in
this movement was that you should
provide the $l05,0O0,o00 Capital
stock and surplus) by subscribing to
the extent Of per cent of your cap
ital and surplus? Have you done it?
Not one Of you in a hundred has
made good.
Your great national organization,
the American Bankers Association,
has talked big but has done nothing
Isn't this fine example to set to the
rest Of US, non-fnancia members Of
the general public
How can YOU expect Us to subscribe
for the billion dollars or more debent-
ures you have been talking about when
you yourselves have shown the white
feather when it came to acting and
not merely talking?
There still is time for you to save
your faces by making good Not your
words, not your promises, but your
deeds viii constitute your answer"

There are many little tragedies
which happen at Easter time. Some
of them are not without their humor-
Gus side. Right ON your very street,
possibly in the house next door, there
is something going on which is tragic
TO the person it happens to, and hui
morous to those who do not suffer
by IT.
Take little Jack or little Mary, for
instance. Wen, wen take little Mary.
She gets an all-ehocolate Easter bunny.
All day long youll long for a piece Of
that bunny grown-ups call them rab-
bits-and all day long Maryn hold
1t in her hand. Not that she is wise
to the fact that we want q piece of
chocolate, but just because the bunny
IS fascinating BY the end Of the day
Mary has no rabbit Goodness, no!
Nobody took the rabbit from Mary.
She still has the chocolate-every bit
OF it-but the rabbitf Wei, he just
melted away into an unrecognizable
solid mass.
Foarteen-year Old brother has ideas
of his own about how Easter should be
spent. A certain young lady-thir-
teen wears Of age-is the apple OF
brothers eye, and Ii is only natural
and fitting for young man about to
venture Oh the sea Of love that he
should have certain kind of neektie
and low shoes Easter blooms forth
In all its splendor and brother ven
lures forth to meet his lady fair But
loi He figured on her liking his plain
blue tie, and all the time she likes the
regimental stripe tie worn by little
Willie Green, and proves her liking by
taking her Easter stroll with Willie,
and not brother.
Three weeks before Easter, just
when the Easter bonnet makes its APP
pearance In the hat shops, mother
rushes downtown to get herself hat.
And for three weeks mother Is on pins
and needles waiting for Easter day to
arrive. And when Easter does arrive
she Is on more pins and needles wait
ing for l o'clock to strike SO that she
can spring a spring hat surprise on
father. OF course, father and mother
90 to church on Sunday and she'll wear
the hat. She thinks her pale green
turban little bit frisky. Father not
only approves of mothers thoughts In
words, but also thinks other things
which will not be put in words.
Grandma also suffered some little
tragedies. Pardon the comparison, but
church services to grandma are the
same as a good personality to poll
tician or a fortune to a miser. And
Easter services are always little out
of the ordinary. You know, special
decorations and all that. But grand
mother is disappointed with the serv-
ices this year The young man who
sang the hymns this year did not do
nearly as well-thanks to her memory
las the young man who sang the very
same hymn 90 years ago. And the
fiowers Not nearly so pretty as
those of 30 years agol It's a sad
Easter for grandma after the services.

Lilies,
Eggs, and
Bunniesss5l

An Easter egg BY any other name
would taste just as delicious, but the
world over the people are creatures
of habit, SO at Easter and around
Easter only we have the chocolate and
jelly eggs.
The association OF Easter and eggs
goes back to heather times, says one
authority.
1T seems as II the egg was thus dec
Grated for an Easter trophy, after the
days Of modification and abstinence
We're over and festivity had taken their
place, aud as an emblem Of the resur-
recdon Of life, as certified to US by the
resurrection from the regions Of death
and the grave Not only do We find
this record of the use of eggs among
the practices Of the Egyptians, the an
cient Israelites and the early Chris
tians, but De Gobelin informs US that
the custom of using eggs at Easter
may be traced up not only to the the
ology Of the people OF Egypt but to
the theology and philosophy Of the Per
SLAMS, the Gauls, the Greeks and the
Romans, all Of whom regarded the egg
as an emblem of the universe and the
work Of the Supreme Divinity"
The Christians have used eggs on
Easter day as containing the elements
Of future life, symbolic Of the resur-
rection. Painted or ornamented eggs
have become In many lands an Easter
institution
As for the bunny. the chicken and
the kewpie, they all play their part in
modern Easter gifts. The bunny or
hare owes It's popularity to the be-
lief of the German children that it is
the hare who lays the eggs on Easter
day
Easter always brings profusion OF
flowers, with the lily the most popular
Of all in the beauty of the lilies,
Christ was born" has an additional
meaning when one sees lilies on every
side The fact that Philadelphia
introduced the Bermuda lily to this
country adds more interest TO this
ever-lnteresttng subject. In 1880, so
the story runs, a young man from the
Bermudas was visiting in that city,
and upon seeing a lily, exclaimed: "Gh
there is our lily" However, upon
close examination he found that 1t
was not a Bermuda lily. This incl
dent led to a Philadelphia florist visit
ing Bermuda in 1881 and bringing the
bulbs to this country We all know
It's popularity No wonder for It is
superior to both the Chinese and
Egyptian (or calla); 1t is surer
bloomer and more profuse; 1t also has
a greater fragrance.
Now the lily industry In the United
States is thriving Millions upon mill
lions are grown from Florida to Cali
fornia. In these climes they are grown
under glass, in fact veritable lily
king plants a half a million bulbs this
way
But in enthusiasm for the lily, the
rhododendron, the azalea, the spirea,
I tulip, hyaclnth, daffodil narcissus,
ferns and the many others must not
be forgot nor their charms overlooked.

And all through the house

But not even a dime
Could be found there.

We squarder Cur cash,
Till the day before pay day
We get beck to hash"

that it's true. But ARE YOU GO
