=. Old ScrooEe, Dickens, famous
character, is probably the most famous
hater Of Christmas in the world.
"Christmas-Hah!'' said Old
scrooge.
But there are thousans Of men,
women and children in this country
who bah" with Scrooge either be-
fore or after Dec. Is. Sorooge hated
Christmas because he neither gave
nor received the right things in the
right spirit. He has imitators for the
same reason.
The object Of Christmas giving is
to make those to whom you give
happy. That is the only way you
can make yourself happy. You CAM
not make those you care for happy
by ill considered gifts. If your
gift means nothing except a package
tied with red ribbon with holly
wreathes on it,, it is valueless eithef
to the giver or the receiver, no mat
ter whether it's wrappings cover a
diamond reckless or a fifty cent
necktie. J
To give real Christmas gifts you
must put thought as well as money
into them-thought for the welfare
and profit Of the future as we'll as
pleasure for the moment.
Such gifts are not hard to find.
You can give comfort. independence
and protection for the future by
choosing Government, saving &C.
curities for your Christmas gifts
They are adaptable to any purse,
large or small. They will convey not
only the immediate pleasure OF
thoughtful gift, but they will con-
tinue as an aid and Inspiration for the
future. ~s.
They will never deteriorate in
value but will grow in value as time
goes on. With them you can give
.characted and contentment. And
whether your gifts be Is cent thrift,

they will carry to the recipients thu
good wishes for happiness and future
prosperity which they can max,

Uncle Sam and "bah" at scrooge, not
with him.

again without its exacting penalizing
features, although they may be COM
PEELED later. 1t really takes the teeth
out, Of the, Clayton act 50 far as it. is
capable Of rendering protection to la
Dor. The so-called primary boycott
was never, successfully assailed in the
supreme court. It was only. the Sec
ondary boycott that was hit, and it
was such that the Clayton law was
designed to legalize 80 long as lawful
methods were pursued in its practice.
But now what becomes of the other
side Of the question: The court has
already held in favor Of the employer
who notified another employer about
the union standing Of an employee.
Wherein is there consistency in the
courts position.
Then, too, what about the big steel
companies which refuse to furnish fab
ricating steel to contractors who have
union shop agreements with their en-
ployes? Is not such secondary boy
.cotts The steel mills have no griev-
ances with the employees Of contractors.
Are they not also departing from the
Legitimate objects of manufacturers
of steel9'
It will be interesting to know how
the high American tribunal will decide
such a question when it comes before
that all-saying body.

EVIL OF BLACKLIST.

Defenders Of steel oligarchy "ex-
plain'' this trusts refusal to sell it's
products to contractors who employ
union labor.
"Steel owners, have taken leaf out
Of organized labor's book" they say.
"Labor often refuses to work with
n-unionists.
There is no comparison between the
motives or the methods of organized
labor and Garyism.
The blacklist operates secretly. The
leader of this sinister band in the en-
ploy Of steel is now under indictment
in New York city because he refuses
to acquaint lawful commission with
his trust connections.
The strike is open. It is subject to
the white glare of publicity.
The steel trust bases it's blacklist on:
desire for cheap labor, which means
more profits.
The unionist strikes to hold his living
standards. The fact that steel prefers
non-unionists justify his fears that he
cannot hold his gains and work. with
those who decline to: aid. him in main
tanning wage scales and working con-
ditions. =:
To the steel owner, less profits do
not mean less milk and warm clothing
for his babes and family, but that's
what less wages mean to the worker.
To say there is similarity between
steel's quest for profits and the union
ist IS refusal to work with non-unionists
is to ignore morals, ethics and ele:
mental justice.
To Garyism labor power is but a
thing, merchandise, a commodity, as
are ships, blast furnaces and railroads.
This is the far flung cry of the
Egyptian task master, the Roman slave
holder and feudal lord:
Against this theory the unionist hurts
his challenge Of manhood. Labor power
is inseparable from life.. e
A complete man must have intellect,
will, spirit and physical strength. These,
co'ordinated, mean labor power. He
who controls labor power owns the
man.
To live, to- be free, workers must
| control their labor power, themselves.
To permit others to do so, is to sur.
render every aspiration for complete
life. J.
Steel and it's kind demand this con-
troll, although they are less frank than
the ancients.
Organized labor denies this control,
and around the difference can be traced
the opposition of Garyism to trade
unionism.
Agitate! Educate! Organize!

REAL INSTRUMENTATION.

No man is good enough to rule an.
other. No man is good enough to own
another. No man is good enough to
own another's job. He who owns my
job has rulership and ownership over
me.
Under chattel slavery, the master
owned both the job and the worker.
Now the workers are half free. They
own themselves, but they do not own
their jobs. They are striving, through
their organizations, to acquire owner.
ship Of their jobs, and thus win their
complete freedom.
That is what the soscalled open shop
struggle is about. It is the attempt
Of industrial autocracy to resist the
growth Of industrial democracy.
The autocrats say that they are con-
tending for tho right of the: morgan
lied working man to take employment
where he pleases. In reality they con-
tend for the power to use the help
lessness Of the unorganized worker to
break up labor organizations, and thus
bring all working men in subsection to
themselves.
The autocrats are organized. They
claim for themselves rights which they
would deny to others. In 50 doing they
deal unjustly with their fellow men. y
For most crimes the worst that the
state can do is to. take man and
make him work. For ,acts which are
no crimes, the industrial autocrat can
deprive his brother Of the right to
work. .....@. s# sssse..s. ..
The power to hire and fire is q
power which no man should be trusted
to. exercise over another without re-

SECONDARY BoYCoTTs.

That was body blow from an unr
expected quarter labor received from
the United States supreme court this
week in which it distinguished between
what it terms primary and secondary
boycotts, holding that the latter are in
violation Of the antitrust law.
The court divided six to three. The
dissenting opinion was written by Jus.
tice Brandeis and signed by Justices
Holmes and Clark. It declared that
1.-THE whole movement Of 30 years to
place workers and employers on basis
OF equality before the law has been
nullifed." That is a mighty significant
statement.
Mr.. Gompers, always alert when the
rights Of labor are attacked, charac.
terizes the decision as sblow at the
movement for human freedom and
progress" He charges that the ,su-
preme court has joined forces with the
anti'union shop movement, the move
ment to undermine and destroy the
only organization which the working
people have for their protection.
The case grew out Of q difference
arising between the Duplex Printing
Press company Of Battle Creek, Mich,
and the International Association Of
Machinists. The union, through its
representatives, circularized the labor
organizations Of the country advising
them that the Duplex company was
unfair to union labor and urged them
to send committees to local printers to
notify them Of the fact.
This latter oct is what the court
designates as a secondary boycott
which it holds to be a departure from
the legitimate objects Of trade unions, -
and It declares when such procedure
is taken it is 'tin actual combination
or conspiracy in restraint Of trade. =

New Circuit
Audrain, Rails
And Randolph?

"A bill placing Audrain, Randolph,
and Rails counties in one judicial cir
cult to be known as the tenth circuit,
was framed in jefferson City Monday
Audrain, Montgomery and Warren
counties now compose theeleventh cir
cult of which Judge E. s. CAN'T of
Mexico is judge.
The apportionment committee of
the legislature recently decided to re-
district the state and cut the number
OF districts from 38 to 80 which would
retire several judges, including Judge
D. Harris Of Fulton and Judge Cant.
The new bill, which if passed, and
it seems probable that it will be pass
ed, would retain Judge Harris in the
thirteenth and Judge Can't in the
Tenth, the only change in the Thirty
fourth circuit being the addition of
Montgomery County. The bill, how
ever would not take effect until Jan
uary, 1928, but as Judge Harris and
Judge Gantt's terms do not expire
until that time, they would not be af-
fected, and if reelected, they would
retaintheir positions. The number of
circuits in thestate, by this arrange
ment will still be reduced by eight.
