the employers to meet with their shop
committees, which does away with the
old system Of dealing with the so =
called walking delegate. The amalga
mated officials assured me that they
have always believed in troubles being
settled by a board, compo sed Of an
equal number of workers ahl manufac-
turers, with on impartial chairman as
the arbitcr.
Where the plant Is nonunion - is
very easy to have shop committees
elected by secret ballot within the plant
and enough delegates appointed TO in :
sure that truth will be spread among
the entire working force. Where a
plant is half union and half nonunion
these committees would naturally be
composed of equal number Of union and
nonunion men in union shops by union
men, in other words proportional repre- =
sentation.
Where conferences can be carried on
through committees / do not see where
there can be any great objection to
unionism. No one can object TO fair
representation. 1 see no reason for
hghting fair representation no matter
under what auspices II may be.
Unions VIII BE Fair
If the right spirit is shown by the
management in. these conferences there
need be no fear Of unions acting arbi .
trarily when all the working men are
enabled to get the truth firsthand.
There is no question but that the tex
tile wor kers at the present time are in
the dark. They want to see the light,
and they are certainly entitled to it.
The textile manufacturers will have no
trouble with upionism IL they will meet
the issue fifty fifty instead Of arbi-
trarily fighting everything the unions
want to do.
Collective bargaining has come &c
stay, and, If the employers will get into
the. game with both feet and acquaint
their men with the truth, they will
find mighty little trouble in their
plants. whether union or nonunion.

something about his position in indus
ttry. The fact that he doesn't know Is
tne reason for nine -tenths of the trou-
bic in Philadelphia.
The textile manufacturer owes GER
tain responsibility to every worker in
MS plant, and he should shoulder that
responsibility. lie will do il IL he is q
/ progressive citizen and has the com
munity interest at heart. There Is no
question at all in my mind that the en- =
tire textile industry made unheard Of
prohts the last three years. am also
convinced that Mt the present time they
are accepting orders for less than the
cost of manufacture in order to keep
the mill wheels running but, If they are
doing so, why not put their cards square
on the table and show their employees
what they are doing and why they are
doing itf ] don't mean as individuals
only, but as the entire industry of
Philadelphia.
The manufacturer must get straight
on one thing. If he is a big. fair EN-
p!oyer, he will naturally say: "My
working men don't need union I treat
them fair"
That sounds good but how about
the employer across the street who may
not be fair, or n man who does take
undue advantage of his labor What
protection does the fair employer give
the employees Of this unfair plant?
And while I cmphatically state that
the average textile employer of Phila-
delphia is a clean, straight ups and
down man, il would be silly to say that
there are no arrogant. autocratic EN-
ploycrs in the city, because there are
many Of them. Manufacturers them
selves told me Of certain plants where
unfair treatment from the management
reacted detrimentally to the plants that
did treat their inen fairly. That's what
labor unionism is built for--to protect
the worker in the plants where protec-
tion IL needed.

Must Discard Pistols
My. suggestion is this: Let each

will be able to talk over all matters
pertaining to the industry with an EN-
ployers committee empowered to act
where both sides will co operate whole :

IL takes a two. thirds vote Of plant

Most Of the union 'bugabooI talk is
plain bunk. The manufacturers of
Philadelphia have the opportunity Of
their lives to regain the confidence OF
their men by treating them fairly and
placing their cards on the table in this
crisis.
Now Is the Time
If they do not do so, and take arbi-
trary advantage now, they will pay
dearly for that action few months
later on when there nre two jobs for
one man again.
Now is the time for the Philadelphia
employer and employe to get together,
and II the employers will spend as much
time in cultivating the confidence Of
their men as they are spending in non
union activities, their troubles will soon
be n thing of the past.
The unions Of Philadelphia are ask

necessary In starting the wheels of in
dustry on the road back to normal con
ditions; but any wage reduction should
be made with an understanding that as
trade conditions permit, and wholesale
prices begin to ascend the ladder again,
wages will be increased accordingly.
I believe the average Philadelphia
manufacturer wants to do the square
thing. ] am convinced tho average tex
tile worker, whether union or nonunion,
wants to be fair, and, II the machinery
meet on common ground, the textile in

HARVARD ACTORS

"A Punch for Judge by ~

shop. so Yale probably won't worry.
The scoring was done in Philip Barry's
three act play, "A Punch for Judy"
which. while 1t hardly had punch. had
several clever drop kicks.
This comedy started with the enter
tanning and original idea of bright bur
wilful young woman OF wealth being
sued for breach OF promise by a hard
headed young lawyer when she breaks
of their engagement In favor OF q poet
whose life was consecrated 10 pale
moonbeams and dying lotus buds.
Such a procedure IS ae rare on the
stage as 1t is in real life. and good sport
vas promised. But the author threw II
way somewhat by making the second
act "frameup' trial. with pretended
judge and jury immune from the
girls charms, because the members
couldn't speak English Why the writer
should thus change the piece into a
farce OF the w. S. Gilbert variety was
hard to see. unless he had been thinking
too much OF THE Legend OF Leonora."
II was averred that the young man
wished TO avoid notoriety for the gSfl.
but there was no substantial reason
why Il shouldn't have been a real court
trial, making the comedy that much
more substantial Despite q tendency 10
lengthneSs the act was frequently
amusing. and there was ar interesting
speech. well delivered by James w. ID.
Seymour. In which the young man pro-
fessed his devotion FOR the girl as part
OF his testimony. The utterance Of these
sentiments seemed really the only rea-
son for having the lega, action, but i
sufficed TO develop some good comedy.
Besides Seymour. Miss Dorothy Sands
played well as the girl. though still. hav-
ing lapses when she acted with all her
features and muscles al once Miss Ruth

fined maiden aunt that had moments
that were gems, and Robert T. Bushnell.
