A NATIONAL LABOR COURT

From the Phila- Public Ledger.
1t may be that the most important
thing for America, among the many
important subjects touched in the
Presidents message. will be his pro-
posal for a national court, with pow
ers to halt. hinder. prevent and arbi-
trate strikes AS the President
states it, this takes, on the outlines
of a National Industrial Court, some
ing like that in force in Kansas.
The proposal is a seed falling into
a prepared, receptive and fertile soil
in the national mind. 1t was only
yesterday that a million rail work
ers coolly prepared to starve and
freeze the Nation into submission.
Samuel Gompers is ready with his
expected shudderings and protests.
The Kansas Industrial Act has eaten
into the Gompers soul He fears its
extension by the Nation, with the
power of the Nation behind it. Then,
ah, then. there might be an end to
the autocracy of labor and a finish
to such autocrats as Gompers and
the little autocrats all the way down
to the w;lking delegae.
Labor may wave its arms and pro-
test bitterly, but its own doings and
those of the stone-headed type of
capitalism that belongs to the six
teenth century have brought this
proposal upon themselves. This
country is sick OF strikes, and every
new threat and disorder stirs il to
a bitter mood. The great third
party to every strike is somehow
and sooner or later going to make
itself felt.
President Harding can count upon
a chorus OF 'AmensH from the Ma
tion when he says
"As we have great bodies OF
law carefully regulating the or
ganization and operations OF in
dustrial and financial corpora
tions, as we have treaties and
compacts among nations which
look to the settlement Of differ
ences without the necessity OF
conflict in arms, so we might
well have plans OF conference
of common counsel, Of media
ton, arbitration and judicial
determination in controversial
between labor and capital"
why not? Capital and labor con
stantly are taking their grievances
before Congress and the Presiden
and such boards as now exist. There
is growing demand for an ending &c
foolish and destructive industria
wars that hurt capital. labor ant
the community. The public is weary
Of being the wrestling-mat for these
struggles.

Workmen Seeing the Light
(From the American Economist).

Demand that Congress place
duties on the value of imported mer-
ehandise or the value of the goods in
America. Here is where they are sold
and here is where their values are
known. The American workers are
interested first in the prosperity of
America. When America is prosper
Gus, II Is then time to extend aid to
others who may deserve it,"
No fake internationalism there.
but. instead the spirit Of America
first" 1t is not the doctrine OF self
ishness, but that Of self-preservation
the highest law of nature. It Is
the same doctrine enunciated in the
Bible, in the words: but II any pro-
vide not for his own. and specially
for those Of his own house. he ..
80, is worse than an infidel." The
Divine law is that a man shall care
first for himself and his family. and
a nation is simply one great family.
IL is our duty as a nation to protect
our own labor and industry, thus
placing US in a position to not only
care for ourselves. but to give our
abundance to others.
We are glad to see these labor
unions assume the right stand on
the question OF Tariff Protection.
and we trust that other unions may
quickly fall into line. II is possibly
too much to hope that that out-and-
out Free-Trader, Samuel Gompers.
will heed the plea Of the unions and
urge an adeouate protoctfvo Tariff
based upon American valuations, but
his successor may be able to see the
light and may bring all OF the labor
unions Of the country into the Pro-
tective Tariff fold.
Evening journal., 1921-12-20

We have never been able to see
how any workingman could be a
Free-Trader or be amliated with any
but the party of Protection. The
difference between the conditions OF
workingmen in Protectionists coun-
tries and those which adhere TO
Free-Trade is so pronounced, that,
in itself, ii affords an unanswerable
argument in favor OF a Protective
Tariff. Especially is this true in the
United States. which is the only
country which has afforded adequate
Protection to labor and industry. We
have always wondered why the
labor unions did not adopt Protec-
tion as one of their main policies,
but heretofore they have not done
so except In rare instances. on the
contrary. we have seen workingmen,
who owe their jobs and their high
wages TO the Protective Tariff system
OF this country. march in droves to
the polls and vote for Free-Trade
candidates.
At last, however. they appear to
! be awakening to the situation and

York state Federation of Labor. the
Central Trade and Labor Council
and the New York Allied Printing
Trades Council have united in me-

The claim is made that unfair for

workingmen TO idleness, denying
them the opportunity to earn a
living. Speaking Of American valua-
