The Open Shop, so-called, is an
archie in principle, hypocritical in
pretense, cowardly in action 1t voices
the language of slavery, and has no
place in America.
Any member of the World War
Veterans who knowingly assists in
strike-breaking automatically thereby
ceases to be a Hember and disqualifies
himself for reinstatement.
Former service men who elect to
work within the Legion should stop at
nothing less than a house-cleaning
that will sweep present leadership
and present policies clean out of sight.
Beside this task, cleaning the Augean
stables was pastime land the country
cannot wait indefinitely for them to
do it. They must end the regime of
mob violence and the use of the or
ganization to establish policies and
laws that abridge ancient and consti-
tutional rights of free conscience,
free speech, and free assembly. They
must call off attempts to manipulate
the schools, to do lip service to labor
while covertly attacking it from be-
hind, to hamstring and terrorize the
alien, and to obtain prohibitive tariff
against the importation of foreign
ideas that might spill the fat that the
privileged classes of America have for
fifty years been frying out of the i'm
migrant and the working man and
woman generally. They must set up
broad, expansible, international ideas
of Americanism in place of the strait
laced, self-sufficient nationalism
which takes as its physical standard
the young men who exhibit union suits
in the advertising pages of our
magazines, and as it's mental guides
our Coolidges and Ole Hansons and
Senator Lusks. The Legion cannot 20
on excusing acts as unofficial" or
individual" Of course the right of
individual action is not to be denied,
but when it is contrary to the law
or the Legion constitution, the post
concerned should discipline the in
dividual, failing which, the post itself
should be disciplined. Moreover, the
Legion must recognize that even
where it is bound to respect the right
of its members to their own course of
conduct, it must nevertheless be
judged by such conduct. The Legion is
what the majority of its members are,
whether they be acting officially or
only personally.
Under the caption This Day is the
Scripture Fulfilled, newspaper wag
recently quoted Luke, $3.50: "And
Jesus asked him., saying, What is thy
name? And he answered him, NV
name is Legion: for many devils were
entered into him."
The job Of the former service men
is to cast out the devils, or to cast out
the Legion itself, from American life.

More Are Jobless.

Unemployment is on the increase.
This fact is gathered from the July
report of the United States Employ
ment Service just made public. The
increase in unemployment in 3S cities
from which figures were taken gives
the total of jobless as 9S,066, an in
crease of one and one tenth per cent
over June.
Dayton is the only one of the Ohio
cities enumerated that showed an in
crease in employment during July.
There were 1875 workers able to Sc
cure positions, which is an increase
of 1.3 per cent.
Decreases in the number of work
ers in the other Ohio cities were as
follows:

Among the cities outside Ohio
where decreases in the number en-
ployed were reported in July were:
indianapolis, 1852, or 1916 per cent;
San Francisco, 597, or S.46 per cent;
st. Louis, 99S, or 600 per cent; Pitts
burg, 1928, or SO per cent; Boston,
1,405, or 2.5 per cent; Baltimore, 433,
or 1.5 per cent; New York, 1914, or
1872 per cent, and Chicago, 1929, or
IT per cent.
The total decrease in thirty-eight
cities was 3S,066.
Twenty-one cities showed decrease
in unemployment of 21,152.

SOME FACTS ABOUT RUSSIA

The Russian information bureau at
New York, in a long review of condi-
tons in the soviet republic, gives this
account of affairs, based on official
statements and statistics:
Progress in reconstruction natural
ly divides itself into considerations of
food, transport and organization. TO
this another department has been
added, which deals with progress made
in the great scheme of electrification.
Great progress is reported in this
plan, the department of identification,
the highest public economic council,
reporting that As per cent of its pro-
gram has been realized. One factory
will soon be turning out 10000 cleo
trio bulbs a day. The electric train
on it's third trip brought delegates to
the eighth soviet congress at Moscow.
The radio laboratory at Nishni-Nov-
gorod has got in touch with far towns
of soviet Russia by wireless tele-
phone. 1t is reported that wireless
stations outside of Russia have been
communicated with.

there was dissatisfaction with the fact
that no dividend was paid in January
| as had been promised The failure to
pay dividends was said to be due to
the slump In prices, yet the company
only operated one jobbing house, so
far as stockholders interviewed could
say, hence the loss in that direction
could not be very heavy, especially as
the stores are said to turn their stock
every month.
Another ssockholder, who said he
had confidence in the face of the low
price at which the stock was being
sold, said there were some kickers in
his town and that they would not pa
tronize their own store, but went five
miles to get supplies rather than to
go two miles to the company's store,
located in Northwestern Arkansas.
This man paid $40 share.
"DepOsed" Manager Threatens Suit.
Another "dcposed" manager said he
was going to file suit against the In
dustrial Transportation Co. if they did
not settle with him. He was induced
to purchase stock in September, buy
ing 81 900 worth and was made mana
ger, the promise being made that he
would receive in addition eight per
cent dividend in January. After two
months he was discharged as manager
under charges that he was a poker
fend and crap shooter.
This individual, a young countrified
looking, clear countenanced fellow,
said he did not know how to play polk
err, nor had he ever engaged in shoot
ing craps, in fact, he said he was ig-
rorant of both games Of chance. He
was employed at the monthly salary of
$3.50, he said. but never received more
than $125. He is from a Missouri
town and said about $500 or $4,000
of the l. T. stock had been sold in that
vicinity.
The company's tactics, as had been
previously explained, is to enter a
country town and buy out country
merchant. If the store has a mixed
stock sale is put on in great hur-
rah manner, and what remains I'M
sold is purchased by the company at
the market price, no allowance being
made for freight. The owner of the
store is baited to sell out on the prom
Use of employing him as manager at
salary of $3.50 month, some times
more.
How Manager May Lose Out.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1921-03-04

The manager must, however, pur-
chase $1,000 worth of the stock at
$3.50 a share and can be displaced
at any time at the wishes of the COM
pany. The company, Of course, will
not take the stock off his hands. He
is then forced to sell it for anything
he can get, which perhaps accounts for
the numerous offers being advertised
Of late in st. Louis papers as low as
$3.50 a share, and in Arkansas, where
the company formerly had its head
quarters, for from SIS to 81 share.
After interesting a country mer-
chant stock statesmen scour the neigh
boring country to sell stock to the
farmers and others and much weight is
given to the argument that the store
is cooperative venture, and in addi-
ton to the per cent dividends will be
able to buy at much lower prices. Eff
forts are made to sell $4,000 worth
of the stock in and around town
where a store is bought up, $4,000 of
which is applied to capital of the store,
$4,000 to establish wholesale house
to supply the surrounding retail stores
and the other $4,000 is taken in charge
by headquarters to pay the commits
sion to the stock brokerage concern
selling the stock.

Perhaps the most important imme-
diate problem is the dual one of food
and transportation.
In a meeting of the soviet congress
for the Moscow district the chairman
of the food committee reported that
in the course of the year the Moscow
population received 40 per cent more
food than in the previous year. Three
quarters of the child population of
Moscow, 10000, are now fed free in
communal feeding centers.
12O, 25O 200 Foods of Grain Harvested.
According to the latest reports, the
Russian grain supply up to Novem-
Der had reached the total of 120,250,-
900 pools for the year. "a pood is
equal to &c pounds plus.) This ex-
ceeds all harvest results of the past
year, In the previous year only 81
500, 900 pools were delivered, in 1918
only 100000 and in 1917. $4,000
900; land in the last year under the en-
pire only 100000. The largest
amount was delivered by the ancient
soviet provinces, which doubled the
amount they delivered last year.
At the same time the food commits
sar of Turkestan has taken steps to
supply the normal population with
food by regular expeditions.
The reconstruction of transport
lines is going ahead rapidly.
The head of Russian Transports
ton, Boryssov, reports that the ron.
ing stock is continually increasing
In January, 1920, there were 10000
freight cars. In October this mum.
Der had increased to $4,000. The
same progress was shown in repair
ing, in January, 1910 cars; in DC.
tober, 10000.
During the same period the tota
number of Russian locomotives was
almost doubled, increasing from g.,
46S to 1865.
OF this number the republic has T..
346 locomotives at work, 4,368 in re.
pair shops and 5,412 to be repaired
The number of engines in use is in.
creasing from month to month.
Over the frozen Voiga a temporary
railway has been built, which joins
the Mishnekotel road with the Mos.
cow-Mishnii road. The project made
it possible to forward the fuel sup
ply of the republic. Because of it the
Sormow works have been able to run
through the winter.
Closely related to the efficiency of
the transport are the mines and the
metallurgical plants. Progress here
keeps pace with the railways.
In Kaluga the Dunenski and Tesot
steel foundries have been set in opera
lion. The factories are supplied with
more than enough fuel, the latest re-
ports say.
100000 Foods of Iron Mined
During the first half of 1920, re-
ports show 100000 pools of iron

Democratic farmers voted for Har-
ding because they were told his cleo
ton meant big jump in the price of
wheat and corn, cattle and hogs.
Wall street and stock spectators vot-
ed for him because they were sure it
meant rise in stock values. Since
Harding's election the depreciation in
the farmers products and the gam
blers' stocks amounts to several hun
bred millions of dollars. There are
great many folks in the United States
who are beginning to think something
was put over on them.-Howell Coun-

An organization Of Rails county
farmers, having borrowed steam

soils of that locality.

were mined at the soviet Ural.
An expedition of 1858 specialists
has just completed a survey Of the
north coast Of the Petcherskij terri
tory. They sent back ten tons of coal
to Petrograd to be tested and ascer-
tanned the possibility of extending the
fishing and fur trades. They collect
ed valuable geological, ethnographi-
cal and statistical data.
In the peat factory of Moschajsk
newly invented ovens have been erect
ed for the manufacture Of peat into
resin, tar, ammonia, salts and coke.
This process is a Russian discovery,
not used as yet by any other people.
A machine used to utilize the power
of the wind, called an accumulation,
has been invented and successfully
tried. 1t was invented by Udinskow,
Russian.
In Baku there are now $4,000 tons
of petroleum and 10000 tons of ben
zine ready for shipment. The naphtha
production in North Russia has been
increased ten fold. Under the car
nothing was produced there. Because
of the voluntary doubling Of work on
the part of the workmen the naptha
feet has brought out $2.O00.000 tons
of naphtha, which exceeds all pre-war
figures.
Build Up Coal Reserves.
In Orenberg 1896 wagons of cotton
have arrived from Turkestan. The
council of the Ukranian labor army
has taken steps to build up the coal
reserves from the Donez basin at the
various railway functions. In Uredsk
a large, new meat preserving factory
with modern equipment, has been set
in operation. The metallurgical fac
tories have increased their production
and workers in this industry are stead
lily increasing and exchange pieces for
locomotives are being turned out rap
idly.
Much effort is being put forth to in:
crease the educational facilities and
teachers stats throughout the repub-
lie.
Before the revolution Moscow had
IL infant schools, with $50 employees.
The soviet government has estahlihed
at Moscow $50 schools, which accomo-
date $4,000 children.
With the help of the commissar of
education, new scientific institution
has been opened in Petrograd for re-
search in radium and X-rays. 1t has
sent its leader, Lemenow, to Germany.
Education Made Compulsory.
An energetic campaign Is being car:
ried on against workers who do not
wish to become literats. In some pro-
vinces food cards are revoked unless
the workers attend school. In the Do
nez basin all children under 16 and all
women are not permitted to work I'M
foreground.
In the matter of organization, the
central committee of the trade union
of the workers of the constructing in
dustry reports that the union, which
had 10000 MEMBERS, now has 1861, 900.
During the year go union conferences
were held by this one organization in
the provinces. 1t is accomplishing
much in the line of social and profess
sional education.
In many instances the scheme of
identification is linked with trade
unionism. The peasants of the village
of Kossyrewo, near Moscow, wired
their own houses for electricity. In
Iwanowo- Wosnesensk the workers did
the same thing.
