COSSACK BILL
Opposed By Illinois County
Dads

Champaign, Ill.-By q 20 TO 10
vote the board of supervisors OF
Champaign county has declared
against the state cossack bill, now
pending in the state Legislature. This
county is included in the district of
Senator Dunlap, who introduced the
bill and who is urging its passage.
The board declares that such po-
lice force is not necessary for the good
and welfare of our county, for the
reason that it is too expensive and the
few members of said force apportion-
ed out to our county of the 102 coun.
ties of the state of Illinois would not
be more than three or four-and they
if nicely uniformed, would make q
pleasing appearance at the head of q
procession.
Our county has full confidence IL
our county and township officials, anc
if at any time they may need assist
ants, this board will stand by then
to the finish. In lieu of state police
our sheriff may, if he deem necessary
appoint commission of three or fou
able men in each and every township
with the authority of deputy sheriff
such men to be able to be easil,
reached and available at times in cas-,

ROLLED OVER
in BED
Sick Judge Signs Away
Rights of People

Seattle-Officers of the Washington
State Federation of Labor charge
that the direct legislation system in
this state has been strangled by
sick justice of the supreme court
signing the decision without reading
it.
"The decision against us was four
to five," the unionists say. Judge
Mont was i'll in bed and didn't hear
the case argued, but two days later,
1T is reported, was rolled over in bed
and asked to sign the decision against
us-which he did-although he never
heard it argued in court The deci-
sion means that the seventh amend
ment to the state constitution, giving
the people the right of referendum
on acts of the Legislature, is dead"
The decision was on the act known
as the civil administration code, which
rips up state labor commissions and
social agencies, and places them
under the control of che man, ap-
pointed by the governor Trade
unionists opposed the act and prepar-
ed to demand that it be submitted to
a referendum. The legislature tackled
an emergency" clause to the law,
which made it effective Immediately on
its passage. The state supreme court
was asked to set aside this clause, as
no emergency exists, and, therefore,
the clause violates the spirit of direct
legislation by making it impossible
for the people to pass Judgment on
the act
The court held that the legislature
is the sole judge of an emergency. The
unionists declare that this kills the
referendum in this state, as the legis-
lature will now attach an emergency
clause to acts it would keep from the
people.

OPEN SHOP CAMPAIGN
PETERING OUT
NEW YORK MERCHANTS URGE MORE ''CONCII-
IATORY ATTITUDE TOWARDS WORKERS
IN THE INTEREST OF PEACE
IN INDUSTRY"
Right of Worker to Join Union Should Not Be Affect
ed" Report Further Says

The "open shop" campaign being
conducted by large employing inter-
ests is petering out. It's manifest
hypocrisy is causing some of the or
ganizatlons upon which it depended
for support to revolt in protest
against both its methods, and the end
sought to be gained.
The board of directors of the New
York Merchants Association, one of
the largest organizations of its kind
in the country, recently approved q
report of its committee on industrial
relations that condemns the move
ment and calls upon employers to
show a more "conciliatory attitude to-
wards workers in the interest of peace
in industry"
This report was prepared by Ger
hard NJ Dahl, vice president of the
Chase national bank; f. X. Hall, vice
president of the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company; Louis B
Schran, president of the India Wharf
Brewing Company; Walter c. Treagle
president of the Standard Oil Com
pany ef New Jersey, and Owen D.
Young. vice president and general
counsel of the General Electric
Company.
The report declares that the time
is opportune for employers to take a
forward step in the matter OF indus
trial relations, but believes that "it
would be most unfortunate if they
used their present advantage only to
abuse it-merely to penalize labor or
to fortify themselves for another test
of strength. Employers should util-
ize their present position to lay the
foundations of permanent industrial
stability"
The matter of the "open shop" the
report continues, should pc carefully
considered "It has tended in some
quarters to arouse suspicion and dis

CHILDHOOD
DESTROYED
BY Home Work System OF
Eastern State

Washington.-In an investigation
of children engaged in industrial home
work in three Rhode Island cities,
made by the United States ehildren's
bureau, it was found that per cent
of all the children between 5 and Is
years of age had at some time during
the year done factory work in their
homes, either by hand or machine.
They assembled jewelry, strung
beads, finished lace and underwear,
carded snaps and shoe buttons and
performed many other simple opera
tions incidental to manufacture.
In the majority of cases family need
was given as the reason for home
work. This work, however, added but
little TO the family income since the
average earnings per family during
the year from this source was only
$48. Over one-half the children We're
unable to earn as much as 5 cents

evenings; some worked exclusively al
night. A few of the children who
worked all day in factories or stores
also worked at home every night, ano
eye strain was commonly reported
Teachers and school officials statec
chat home work interfered with schoo
attendance and the quality of schoo
work.
The home work system makes {
factory out of the home, and tht
workers are subject to hazards from
which they are not safeguarded b!
law, says the report The health o
the community is endangered by th
use of the clothing and other articles
made in homes in which infectious
diseases are present.
More than half the employers inter
viewed stated that it would be posi-
bic to make readjustments in thei
factories if the system of home wor
were abolished

JURY SYSTEM SET

Charleston, w. Va.-The state leg

quilted on the charge Ct killing a
Baldwin -Felts detective, can be tried

an open shop should not in any way

not to join labor union or any other
organization seeking by lawful means

The committee deplores the dispo-
sition ''on the part of some employers

closed shop against union men"

When you lose your temper, you

When you lose your health, there's
no use in advertising the fact.
When you lose your self-respect,
it's time to take invoice and lay in

When you lose your grit, get the

If you find the road to success, don't

THREADBARE TACTICS

Lafayette, Ind-Cheap, threadbare
tactics are the stock in trade of non
union shop advocates, says Editor
Skemp, of the Painter and Decorator
"The lawyer without 4 case flatters
the jury and abuses counsel for the
ether side. The spell binder of a
bankrupt political party vilifics the
opposing party and apostrophizes the
flag.
"These specious pleaders impu-
IDENTIFY claim to speak for the major
ity of the wage earners and boldly
assert that the non-union workman is
anxious to escape from the dictation
of the union. Yet, of all the flood
of speeches delivered and articles
written attacking trade unionism, not
one is voiced or penned by a wage
Garner. The speaker or author is
either an unfair employer, a lawyer
business agent or an outsider"
