DUTY NOW BEFORE
 ORGANIZED LABOR

Not all of ethe people in this country view the rise of organized labor with satisfaction. There are those who still think of labor as something to be used to make money with, and to be discarded, scrapped or traded in, just as machinery and marketable goods are handled.
 This theory of labor will continue to cause industrial trouble, and labor will have many occasions for the ex- ertion of the power 1t possesses both in industry and in government. That labor can win every just battle and that the influence of labor in the | affairs of the country can continue to increase will admit of no doubt just as long as labor remembers that might never made right.
 If there Is a danger that threatens organized labor in this time, 1t is not danger due to weakness, but to strength. Workers in many fields of industry have had much to bear in the past, and many of them have brought from the old country a feel ing that, no matter what labor does, 1t cannot even the score by infiicting as many injuries upon society as society has inflicted upon labor. There is also among workers, as among all men, that common human selfishness, which says take what you can get" and 1t will be at work moving men to use the power of labor simply with view to immediate selfish interest.
 Against this tendency stands the fact that men who are normally con- stituteG acquire a sense of responsi- bIlity as they acquire power. This has been true of labor leaders, as whole, and must continue to be true if labor is to retain the general sup port which, year after year, 1t has been gathering to itself.
 An attitude of forbearance, of re- gard for the common good and dlsre- gard of an immediate possible gain illustrates in a high degree the atti- tude which organized labor, however powerful 1t may become, should take to attain it's highest usefulness. Pure unselfishness is demanded of no class in this practical world, but the en- frightened selfishness which sees the good of one class in the prosperity of all is fairly demanded of labor and every other class.-Chicago Tribune.

GAINED SLOWLY IN STRENGTH
Labor Unions Have Been Long in Existence, but Real Power is
 Comparatively Recent.

It would be impossible to say when or where the frs: labor or trade union was formed. The principles of trade unionism, or organization of workers for self-protectiOn and mutual aid, date back to the time of the guilds In the Middle ages. Some of the local unions In England date from the Eighteenth century. The first unions fin this country were formed by crafts men who had come from England, though we do not know just when. The chapel, a name given to a meeting of union printers, was written of by Benjamin Franklin as having been ob- served by him when he worked at tho trade in London in 1725. The In- ternational Typographical Union of the United States and Canada, prob ably the oldest existing union in this country, was formed In 1850; the iron
 molders'union in 1859; the cigar

makers union in 1864. Of the 12O national and international unions in the United States, only twelve were formed before 1880. Before the mid. dle of the last century labor unions were under the ban of the law.
oraanized Labors vietorx

Perhaps the greatest advance ever made by organized labor in securing national recognition was when for the first time the federal government en. tered into an agreement with the American l ederatiOn of Labor where. by its officials appointed by joint action with the shipping board the members of a commission representing the public, labor and the federal govern ment to adjust all disputes over the conditions of labor in the shipyards of the country. Thus the United States followed the example of Great Britain, France and Germany in deal- ing directly with organized industry as represented by employing capital and labor.

ROAD BUILDING
ITALY WANTS BETTER ROADS
Experimental Institute Promoted for Study of Materials for ln-
 proved Highways.

The Italian Touring club has re- gently promoted an experimental insti- tute of roads for the study of materi- als employed in the construction and maintenance of highways.
 The objects of the institute will be to carry on laboratory experiments on the physical and mechanical character .iStics of road materials; to help the progress of experimental technics rela- tive to highway surfacing by reproduc- ing and studying samples of pavements worn by traffic or deteriorated other wise; to form a collection of material samples suitable for Italian road con- struction; to collect all descriptive and statistical matter appertaining to Ital- ian roads; to furnish public bodies with useful advice relating to con- struction and maintenance of roads, and to forward by every other means the development and betterment of road work in Italy.
 The institute publishes monthly re- ports of its proceedings The institute is financed by annual contributions from the Touring Club of Italy, by an annual subsidy from the ministry of public works and by annuities, gifts and charges for material tests.
 The institute Is under the direction of Sig. ItalO VambOne, formerly chief engineer of the province of Mi Ian. More detailed information re- garding the formation of this institute is given in a recent bulletin of the Permanent International Association of Road Congresses.

Misconeeptlon Ahou, ritIe.

There is no such office as "chief jus tice of the United States Supreme court" The proper title for the man who presides over the higher court in the United States-is "chief justice of the United States" The Constitu- tion of the United States does not mention the chief justice. although he Is the head of a coordinate branch of the government. Article III of the Constitution, which establishes the ju- dicial department of government, pro- vides that 'the Judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme court, and in such inferior courts as the congress may from time to time ordain and establish" but 1t does not mention the chief justice. Under this clause of the Constitution congress has assumed the power to declare how many Supreme court jus tices there shall be.

With the establishment of motor truck trains operating on a fixed schedule throughout the country i'm provements are bound to come. Not only will surfaces of the highways be rebuilt, but in many instances routes will be shortened to save time and money.

The Most Vital Problem in American
 Politics at the Present Time
By w. E. BoRAH, U s. Senator From Idaho

It may seem incredible to many, but to me the most vital problem in American politics at the present time is the preservation of the great guarantees of civil liberty found in Constitution, and so long supposed to be secure and indispensable. It may still incredible when the opinion is confidently ventured that these principles the safeguards of liberty are not much in danger from those who openly oppose them as from those who protesting to believe in them, are willing to ignore them when found inconvenient to their purposes
