Do You Want the Best?

ONE OF THE MOST HIGHLY es-
teemed and successful business men Of
Yorkville and York county, sometime
ago gave us a signed statement which
reads as follows:
II am pleased to state that | have
two policies for $4,000 each in the Mu-
tual Benefit Life Insurance Company
Of Newark, n. j. 1 also carry insur-
ance on my life in two of the big New
York life insurance companies, but do
not regard either as being as desirable
as the Mutual Benefit and it's contracts.
Had l known as much about the Mu-
tual Benefit and it's contracts when
bought insurance in the other compa-
nies as l do now, all my insurance
would be with the Mutual Benefit. In
my opinion no man who wants the best
in life insurance can afford to ignore
the Mutual Benefit"
For satisfactory reasons the name of
the citizen is not published, but the
statement with his signature will be
submitted to any who ask to see it.

Organized Teachers
Command Attention

Wilmette, Ill.-The publicity de-
partment of the American Federation
of Teachers, affiliated to the A. F. of
L., has forced the reactionary Ma
tional Educational association to
MAKE a show of inter 'st in the teach
ers' welfare.
Point by point the N. E. A. lead
ers have taken over the principles of
the American Federation of Teach
ers," it is stated. "They are keen
enough to understand that those prin-
ciples would wiz the sympathy and
probably the allegiance of class room
teachers. They dread the loss of
power and prestige which was sure to
affect the N. E. A. as soon as the
majority of class room teachers went
over to the A. F. T. After several
generations of futility and inaction,,
they have in the past three years be-
come singularly devoted to the ideas
of democracy and initiative among
teachers, better pay and better teach
ing conditions, aad a greater voice
in educational councils and in the N.
E. p. eli. They have swallowed
practically the whole teacher program
of the A. E. T. and are preaching
A. F. T. doctrines with JUNCTION and
force.
"The N. E. A machine of school
administrators has exercised two
kinds Of coercion; it has coerced or
strongly influenced teachers into it's
own organizations; it has coerced or
strongly impelled teachers out of the
A. F. T. Everywhere throughout the
United States the strongest pressure,
that of public opinion, has been train
ed upon the A. F. T. AS a result of
the lectures delivered by N. E. A.
officers on tour the air is full of mis-
conceptions of the type of organiza-
ton and the aims and achievements
of the American Federation of Teach
ers."
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-03-04
Collective Bargaining Upheld

eternal truths that large interests
would reduce to meaningless plati-
tudes.
There may be need of revision of
working rules and some adjustment
of wages. But they will be made
with the consent of the workers, after
calm delberation. That in substance
is what the Labor Board has decreed
in its momentous ruling. The work
ers are recognized as constituting an
integral and important part of in
dustry and must be consulted in mat
ters that affect their welfare.
With collective bargaining recog-
nized and sustained by an impartial
government tribunal, it will soon be-
come IT," settled and welcome method
of sustaining peace in industry. 1t is
the antithesis of the open shop, and
therefore that double-faced hypocrisy
is about to pass out of public dis
cusion as weighed and found wanting.
The collapse of the "open shop
campaign will not mark the last
effort of large employers to subju-
gate workers. When they discover to
their complete satisfaction that autoc-
racy is impotent TO do the things they
have in mind they will, as have the
cnaoia1lry fovoraJ in oil onoc ,,ool-o
their demands to legislative bodies.
They are now adopting quite gen
orally this quieter and more effective
program.
In more than score of state legis-
latures bills have appeared that seek
in one way on another to restrict the
legitimate activities of toilers. In their
most odious form they propose to set
up industrial courts in the personnel
of which the workers have no voice
Compulsory arbitration, backed by
heavy legal penalties, is a polite form
of servitutued that has heretofore
been attempted, but with results
wholly dispropoi tiorate to the expec-
tations of its hopeful benefciaries
The workers were off guard when
these bodies were chosen and THEN
enemies took advantage of their op-
portunity. Wherever they have a
safe majority in general assemblies
they will make an attempt to secure
enactment of laws that will keep the
workers suppliant and unresisting.
1t apparently has not occurred to
lawmakers and those whom they rep
resent that the only way to keep work
ers porftably employed is to set up
conditions that will contribute to
their material well-being and pro-
mote their happiness and content
ment. Driven labor is unsatisfactory
labor, while free labor has been re-
sponsible for all progress made by
the world.

Waste In Production
Listed By Hoover

Syracuse, N. Y.-A staggering ar
ray of wastes in production were listed
by Herbert Hoover in an address be-
fore the convention of the American
engineering council. These wastes in
clude unemployment, lost time due to
labor conflicts, losses in labor turn
over, poor coordination of great in
dustries, failure in transportation and
coal and power supplies, lack of
Standardization, to speculation, to
mismanagement. to inefficient ma
tional equipment and hundred other
causes. The speaker declared that
there is no such thing as over pro-
duction.
eve know" he said, "that we are
insuffciently housed, insufficiently
equipped in our public roads and pub
lie utilities; that we need an entire
revision of our power supply; that
we need expansion Of our waterways,
and yet armies of idle men are walk
ing the streets.
"The bituminous coal industry is
one of our worst functioning indus
tries. These mines operate season
ally and erratically. They proceed
from gluts to famines, from profit
, eering to bankruptcy. AS already de-
termined by our engineering bodies,
fthe men who mine our coal find work
only 70 per cent of their time. In
other words, there are 80 per- cent
more equipment, 80 per cent more
men attached to that industry than
are necessary if it were stabilized to
continuous operation.
"The growth of industry into large
units has destroyed the old mutuality
of interests between employer and
employed. Our repetitise processes
have tended to destroy the creative
instinct and interest in employees. We
will yet have to reorganize the whole
employment relationship to find its
solution"

DENOUNCE RAILROAD ACT

Washington - The Cummins-E -Esch
railroad bill, declared the final word,
in craftsmanship, was the subject of
bitter condemnation in the senate.
The occasion was the Winslow bill,
which authorizes partial payments of
the $600,000,000 railroad deficit that
the government guaranteed. The bill
was finally approved as passed by
the house,
Rates were declared too high for
traffic TO bear and the present de-
preston was caused by these rates,
said one lawmaker. Senator LaFol-
lette said the railroads should be re-
quired to "repay to the government
the enormous debts which they have
incurred under the bounty of con-
gress." Senator TrammelI urged that
the guarantee be reduced from 51s
per cent to 8 per cent, and Senator
Kirby said the guarantee "has de-
stroyed the right of the public to de-
mand fair and reasonable rates."
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-03-04

The "Open Shop" campaign is not
making the headway that its sponsors
anticipated. It's fatal defect is that
it has nothing behind it save the
money of large employers and a
cruel and brutal materialism at odds
with the ideals that were freed dur
ing the worlds struggle against
autocracy. The public has not been
caught by the propaganda of the So
called "American idea," and without
it's support it was foredoomed to
failure.
The "open shop" campaign still
finds defenders among editors, but
other publicists will have nothing to
do with it. Great religious dnomina-
tions have spoken out fervently in
denunciation, and thousands of en-
ployers see in it the seeds of dis
sension and strife that will, if per-
mitted to gerninate, seriously initiate
against the peace and prosperity of
the nation. 1t is the most revolution
ary, incendiary and un-American
campaign ever launched against our
institutions and people.
The hardest blow yet sustained by
the "open shoppers" came when the
Railroad Labor Board kicked General
Atterbuly out Of court and ruled that
the railroads must confer with their
workers before they can cut wages
or change working conditions. Here
was sustained, without qualifications,
the fundamental principle of collective
bargaining, the foundation upon
which trade unionism has been
erected.
It may be accepted as an incontro-
vertible truth that the campaign
launched by the railroads is part Of
the "open shop" attack upon organ
lied labor. The railroads that have
led in it are controlled by financial
interests that keep steel, coal and
other toilers in mean subjection. The
banking group that maintains armies
of thugs in the coal and steel in
dustry are striving to subvert to a
similar state of feudalism the two
million railroad workers who were
permitted to breathe freely while the
railroads were under federal opera
ton.
The fight that is being waged by
the leaders of the railroad organiza-
tions is one of the most brilliant and
courageous ever undertaken in behalf
of the workers of the world. They
are not fighting alone for the men in
transportation. They are upholding
the cause of producers in all in
dustries. They are safeguarding the
best traditions of the nation and in
sisting upon an application Of those

THE CLIQUE

What is the Clique? 1t is body of men
Who attend union meetings, not just and then;
Who don't miss meeting unless they sick
Those are the that the crouch calls "The Clique"
Who don't make farce of that sacred word "Brother"
Who believe in the motto: "Help another;"
Who resort to a dishonest trick
These the that call "The Clique"
The who seldom behind in their dues,
And who from the meetings do not carry the news,
Who attend to their duties and visit the sick
These are the men the crank calls "The Clique"
We all should be proud of members like these
They call them "The Clique" whatever they please
They never attempt any duties to dodge;
These "The Clique that most every lodge.
But there are people who always find fault,
And most of these kind not worth their salt
They like to start trouble, but seldom will stick
They like to put all of the work on "THE CLIQUE"

Uncle Sam Improved
Rail Road Methods

Washington-The claim of railroads
that they want the national agree
ment with shop employees scrapped
in the interest of efficiency recalls a
report by the United States railroad
administration in 1919, which hints
that the government improved on the
boasted efficiency of railroad man.
ayers when they had individual agree
ments and no agreements.
"From the beginning" says the re-
port, "the mechanical department (of
the railroad administration has the
equipment without any idea that
economics should or could be realized
by reducing maintenance which the
equipment ought to receive. Where
improper practices were found to ex-
ist action was taken through the
regional directors to have more eff
ficient methods adopted.
"a check on the Erie railroad, in
1918, showed the need for a thorough
investigation of shop and engine
house conditions on all railroads;
therefore this work was extended
and developed into a comprehensive
system of reporting conditions of
shop and engine house operation
monthly through the regional
directors.
"On account of the changed values
due to increased labor and material
costs, comparison on money basis
was worthless; therefore all COM
parisons of shop and engine house
operation were made on a man-hour
basis.
"To illustrate the improvement in
conditions, a check of 2,9s~ engine
houses in January, 1919, showed an
average of 30.58 man-hours per loco
motive handled, while a check of the
same engine houses in July, 1910,
showed 25.77 man-hours per loco
motive handled, or adecrease of T.
motive handled, or a decrease of T.
in handling approximately $4,000
locomotives This represents saw
ing per month of $4,263,541, which
is at the rate of approximately $780,
100000 per annum."
