URGES THAT UNIONS
BE INCORPORATED
Should Definitely Be Brought
Within the Law, Says
w. III. Barr.
POWERS ARE DANGEROUS
Head Of Founders Association
Points Menace at An
nual Dinner.

The twenty-fifth annual convention OF
the National Founders Association
opened yesterday In the Hotel Astor
with luncheon and dinner and busl-
ness session az which addresses were
delivered by William III. Barr of Buff
falo. president of the association; Gov.
Henry j. Alien of Kansas. Justice Will
lam III. Speer of New Jersey, Richard H.
Lee, president OF the Associated Adver-
tising Clubs of the World; M. w. Alex
ander. managing director Of the Ma
tional Industrial Conference Board; A.
{. Davis and IL. L. Greever.
|. The convention will close to-day with
the election of officers for the ensuing
year and the reports of various COM
mittees. In his annual report Mr.. Barr
discussed the following subjects: The
Administration at Washington, Con-
gress' political replies to economic ques-
tions, the close cooperation essential to
business development. how many of the
unemployed are union slackers, the re-
cent railroad strike threat. the printers
strike fiasco. domination by force of
arms and politics and unionism. He
said in general summary:
Since our last convention the growth
OF the open shop movement has be-
come noticeably greater throughout the
country, and 1t Is inspiring indeed to
observe that in many centres there have
been public arguments relative thereto
IN which were analyzed the privileges of
the open shop plan as distinguished from
the restrictions Of closed shop unionisn
which permit only employment for those
who are affiliated with organized labor.
Wherever there have been such open
discussions communities have risen In
revolt and freed themselves from the
domination of militant labor unionism.
For public opinion invariably approves
the sound principles of the open shop
and this in itself Is most significant
fact. The open shop Is not an attempt
to exploit labor. 1t is not an attemp,
to reduce wages. On the contrary, II
puts into effect the American principle
Of equality of opportunity and liberty
Of action to all concerned.
Nevertheless, unionism having de-
generated. in many cases. into radical
ism for revenue only, the time has ar
rived when bodies possessing such dan
gerous power should be made more
amenable to the laws. The trade unions
should be Incorporated. Surely there can
be no objection to any organization
bringing Itself definitely within the law
and assuming both moral and financial
responsibility. The difficulty seems to
be that militant unionism desires to sc,
itself up as an Independent organiza-
ton, immune to the breaking of all
laws. and wholly without recognition OF
its patriotic duty to the nation which
tolerates it's baneful activities"
Gov. Allen told of his success In
coping with labor troubles in Kansas
and the general attitude OF labor ir
the mid die West.

U.S.. AID FOR SHIPS,
Is PLEA OF OWNERS
Winthrop L. Marvin Tells of
Needs of Privately Owned
Merchant Marine.
HOT COMPETITION ON SEA
Says Foreigners Fight Subsidy
Association Elects Off
GERS at Exposition.

An urgent plea for Government sup
port for privately owned American
merchant marine was made last p'cht by
q winthrop L. Marvin. vice-pesidens and
general manager OF the American Steam-
ship Owners Association. speaking at the
Marine Exposition in the Central Mer-
camille Building.
Mr. Marvin pointed out that the Ameri-
can shipping problem is not merely a
problem Of the Shipping Board. Five
million tons Of seagoing vessels are al
ready in private hands and the board
has been directed to dispose Of its ships
as soon as possible.
Therefore. the question Of the perma-
nent development Of our merchant ship
ping Is q question Of the development
OF an American industry like any other
great industry, owned by private capital
and directed by private enterprise, but
of vital concern to the whole people OF
the United States.
1T is in a time OF extreme difficulty
and depression that they are confronted
with the need of an enduring solution
OF the problem of the merchant marine.
But American shipowners, men of ex-
pcrence and courage. believe that the
question can be solved by vigor, economy
and aggressiyeness en- their part, united
to 4 reasonable policy of cooperation
from their Government They say Re
wise the navigation laws-but do not
depend upon that alone to accomplish
everything. for it will not; protect and
aid shipping as manufacturing and agri-
culture have been aided and protected
4 ths also must be DONE
Ocean shipping is the most intensely
competitive of industries. There is more
need of national aid there and moro
Ju. tification for it than anywhere else.
Enforce all that is sound and effective
IN the Jones law. and do not be afraid
81 subsidy besides. It is the foreigners
chiefly who try to make bueaboo of
sdesidy--and they do It because in some
way or other they have all tried 1t and
know how effective it is-and they are
in mortal fear Of it IL once put behind
Yankee ship owners and seamen.
Yesterday was ship Owners Day. at
the exposition. The technical commit
tee Of the American Steamship Owners
Association attended the exhibition in
body and in the morning the Marine
Equipment Association Of America,
which is responsible for the marine
show and for having inaugurated

HAMON AND POLITICS

How is il possible for a man whose moral character is gen
orally known TO be bad to rise high in pohticsl The answer to this
inquiry may we'll call for serious reflection upon the part OF every
citizen. We quote from the Minneapolis Tribune as follows:
Now that the Hamon trial is over let us give a little attention
TO a question that must have been in he mind Of everybody who
Interested himself at all in that case-how did it happen that a man
of Jake lannon's quality became a member OF the Republican ma
tional committee? His character could not have been unknown
to the people OF Oklahoma. His life has been lived in small town
surroundings where such onenSes as he committed against de-
ccncy and morals could not be concealed. We must conclude that
the people of Oklahoma knew Jake Hamon. How did they happen
TO allow themselves TO be represented on the Republican COM
mittec by such as he? Did his money buy for him immunity from
criticism and silence protest against his presumption to stand for
his state in n representatives and responsible capacity!
We do not know much about Oklahoma, but we are surprised
at this situation and inclined to think that Hamon must have
jumped into this position of prominence when the people OF the
state were not looking. If he did why didn't they put him OUT
Ii could have been done.
But this question about Jake lannon's political prominence
doesn't stop with the people of Oklahoma. 1t extends to the
national Republican committee itself. Were the members OF that
committee informed Of the type Of man with whom they were
associated? And If so, why didn't they refuse to accept him as one
of their number and insist that Oklahoma choose some other man
some decent, reputable man-for their representative in the
councils of the party? The chances of ignorance on their part are
better than those of the people of Oklahoma. But one still Won
only of their own associations in committee, but OF the men who
are allowed to assume party leadership and be known to the pub
lie in that capacity. What kind of politics is to be expected from
men of the Hamon stripe?
This is not a matter of slight consequence. This Iamon in
cident is calculated, as we firmly believe, to create a more lively
interest in the moral character of active political leaders and al
ply to men seeking preferment in that direction more rigid scru-
whether a political leader is a social leper, and moral character
will become a more highly estimated qualification for responsible
ties in the field of politics. Perhaps this is one Of the things the
women have come into politics to do.
