The employer who does this will not
only save his own business, but will
render great service to the veXed
problem of employer and empl0ye i'll
all industry. He will spike the guns
OF the agitator. When he treats Ia
Dor with consideration and restraint
the employer proves the falsity of the
agitator's oft-repeated declaration
that capital and labor have nothing in
common, and If employers use the
present situation in the way suggested
they will establish upon permanent
basis this principle of community of
interest, and lay the foundation of fu-
ture industrial peace"
The advice to the employer is well
expressed and the future, and not the
immediate present, will tell the story
of fairness of the employer at time
when labor was at a disadvantage
Mr.. Roger II. Williams, Vice Presi-
=, dent of the National Bank of Com
mcrce, New York, in a recent address,
said: I'VE hear in some directions
business men saying that labor had its
swing while prices were high and Ia
Dor was scarce, and that now the turn
of the employer is coming and they
intend to take full revenge. Revenge
is rarely profitable and at this time
such an attitude would be little less
than public calamity.
Growing unemployment and lower.

They are struggling to get along with

Gentlemen;
Having been Il resident of good old
Morgan County, KY, and reader of
the Courier as well, will endeavor to
express Il word Of gratitude for the
splendid news obtained from same,
and to thank you for your service in
getting the Courier out on time. l
note very enthusiastic letter in the

The Great Unrest.
What is the cause of this unrest? ?
1t is the selfishness of the human fam
lily 1t seems to be the whole desire
! to beat the other fellow, and we care
not how we do this. We criticize
and use propaganda against the lead
ers of our different organizations who
have devoted their life time for the
uplift and benefit of their fellowmen.
In going back twenty-five years and
looking over the conditions that eX-
listed at that time, and the conditions
of today, all fair-minded men will have
to admit that our leaders have made
wonderful strides in bettering condi-
tions of the labOring people of this
nation and 1t was done by hard and
faithful work. Many hard battles
were fought in an able and intelligent
manner to gain these concessions
There have been many mistakes, and
some failures, but if the rank and file
would stop and think before they criti
cize they would realize that those mel
were only men and that is all any Of
us are. 1t is human to err, and il
is also divine to forgive

Attacks Against the Prevailing
Wage Garner
BY this time everyone is fully awar
of the purpose Of employers to reduc
the going rate of wages in every EN-
ployment where it can be brought a
bout. That there is danger in thi
attempt to deflate wages generally, i
recognized by business men here ant
there, but the trend of opinion is tina
wages must be reduced and product
ion increased, or industry must stop
Back Of the intent to bring labor t,
its senses is the grudge that was borr
during the war, and for which employ
rs are not wholly responsible. En-
Dloyers who were carrying on theil
business on a cost plus 10 per cent
profit basis. bid for labor without re
gard to its cost, the reason for whicl
was Quite apparent. The more tn
employers paid the more he receive
for himself This contributed large
Licking Valley courier., 1921-02-24

ly to the labor turnover that was the
cause for so much labor unrest and in
efficiency during the war, and for
which we believe the employer is
wholly responsible. Having once
started good thing he was unable to
check it, and, as always, selected his
employees as the burden bearers of all
the economic ills that befell industry
during the period of the war, and par
ticularly following its close.
The employer believes that now the
time for getting even has come. Two
millions of men and women are out of
employment, and apparently concert
ed action either to keep them from
earning living or forcing them to re-
turn to employment at a reduced wage
rate is being carried out. There is
no general public sympathy with the
protest of the labor organizations that
the wage rate must be maintained As
usual, the unorganized have felt the
force of the employers opposition
first. They have been forced to ac-
cept wage reductions, and, smarting
under the bitterness of their losses,
they do not appreciate the further
danger TO them il the wages Of the
,oreanized are also reduced. That
there is no sympathy among employ
ers or business men, goes without say
I ing, yet. there is an exception here and
there that shows that all of the good
judgement on the part of business has
not disappeared with the returned ad
yantages of the employer.
Sometime ago Leslie's Weekly dis
cussed the subject editorially in this
manner:
"For several years jobs have been
hurting men. Now men are hunting
jobs. For several years labor has
been able to dictate wages and hours
Now capital will have something ia
say on this score. For several years
labor has been getting the highest
wnges ig the records of modern indus
try. Now wages have begun to drop
an it is inevitable that the process
mast continue. When labor had thu
chance it ruled with rather a higl

PANTHER QUINTET IS DETERMINED TO
 DEFEAT BULLDOGS
By BILL LADD

The Partners are training hard to take the measure of the Bulldogs when they get together next week. The season has seen the Partners take the small end Of the count in every encounter, and they are resolved not to let the Bulldogs write their names in the same column with the Alabama five and the clan from the B. A. c.
 The Panther-Bulldog scrap is always hummer, no matter whether it is foot ball, basketball or baseball, and the. game this gear is to be no exception to- the rule. Last year the Partners lost two cage games to the Bulldogs, anl they don't intend to let it happen again if they can help it.
 Greek Griffin, Mike Norton, and Floss" Candy, as we'll as the rest of the galaxy of stars that perform in the gold and black spangles, will put up very creditable scrap against the Bulldogs. and stand more than an outside chance of slipping off with the bacon when the melee is over.

WELTY QUESTIONS LANDIS RIGHT TO
 HOLD TWO OFFICES
Ohio Representative Would Make Landis' Acceptance of Baseball Office
 MiSdemeanor

Washington, February 3.-Acceptance by Federal Judge Landis of the position of high commissioner of baseball brought additional action today from Representa- tive welty, of Ohio. MT. Welty. who yesterday introduced in the House a resolution proposing congressional in- yestigation of Judge Landis' acceptance, announced he had taken action as fol- lows:
 Requested Judge Landis by letter to state by what authority he accepted the baseball position at salary of $42,50O year, while serving as federal judge for the northern Illinois district.
 Asked Judge Landis to send him a copy of the contract which he signed with organized baseball to act as its chief arbitrator.
 Called on United States District Att torney Cline at Chicago to supply him with copy of the indictments pending against former members of the Chicago American league club.
 Wrote Attorney General Palmer asking if there was any law making 1t a mis- demeanor for 8 federal judge to hold an other position for which he received fi- nancial remuneration while holding his seat on the bench.
 Representative Welty also announced that should he be informed by the At torney General that it could not be con- sidered misdemeanor under the law for a federal judge to accept fipancial com pensation for work other than that in- cident to his judicial duties, he proposed to introduce bill covering such con tingency.

ALUMNI AT MANDY PLAN BIG THINGS
 FOR COMMODORES,
Big Concrete Stadium Is Next Improvement In
 Athletics

Nashville. February s.-(speciaI)--At the AJanuary meeting of the Vanderbilt Athletic association, plans for the new unit concrete athletic stadium at van- derbilt were discussed and committee authorized to take immediate steps to- ward starting making financial arrange ments and starting actual construction work before many weeks have passed.
 It has been decided to erect the stadium on the unit plan, as at Michigan, and to add to the structure as it becomes neces- sary to accommodate the ever-increasing crowds. Vanderbilt had the biggest ath- letic year in point of attendance this season, and it was seen that another football season could not pass under present conditions. The present Dudley field is in poor condition for playing pur- poses, and the need in that respect IS also very pressing.
 Sentiment among Vanderbilt athletes and alumni favor the perpetuation or the name of Dr. William L. Dudley, late president of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association, in the new stadium. and unless there is some very radical change in plans the new stadium ana field will bear the same name as the present one.

"Nig" Lawley Unable
 to Make Trip With ,..,.. Central to Tenn.
Bx HEN GREEN

The Central basketball team re- eeived a great setback yesterday when 1t was announced that Capt. 'iNigger" Lawley could not make the trip to Tennessee on account of fail ing to make the required scholastic marks. This misfortune would more than likely upset any other squad of basketballers, but it Is the belief at Central that the Crimsons will only work the harder and help make up for the loss. Mig is considered the best man at his position in the state in prep circles and his absence will certainly hurt Central. 'sYank" Rox, football captain elect, will substitute for Law ley on the trip, and, although he car ries quite bit of weight, his earn estness will help make up for that delinquency,
 Aaron Sachs, a substitute guard, also failed to make the grade and will have to stay at home. No one will be taken In his place, only seven men making the journey. The players who left last night are: Stubbs, Anderson and Cope land, forwards; Rox, center; farrell. Carlisle and Goldstein, guards. The probable lineup will include all ex- cept Copeland and Goldstein. The boys left at Il o'clock last night, their des tination being Fayetteville. Tenn, where they will encounter the Bry- son college five. Saturday they will meet Morgan school in Sweetwater. Although >Lawley's loss was great one, the Crimson lads are expected to come home with duo of scalps under their belts.
 It Is hoped that Lawley can make up his work in time to permit him to participate in the high school tourna- ment. The Springville High school quintet has made known it's desire to enter and it brings up the total of sureties to 10, with two or three prob- abilities. The Central bunch will meet the Gordo High school team Saturday, Eahruarv Q at the R. A. c.
