Meet For First Time in La
Dor Temple Next Monday

Big doin's for Retail Clerks Union
No. 119 next Monday night. The or
ganization will meet in the new labor
temple for the first time on that night.
1t is to be made a special event by
the "counter jumpers" and in order to
get clean fyin' start they will install
officers for the year Immediately the
meeting is called to order. 1t is ex-
pected that this event will assume
sort of dedication air as at all in
stallations of officers of this organiza-
tion the tap of oratory is turned on
full to overflowing, and no doubt in
this instance all the speakers will
dwell at much length on the achieve
ments of organized labor in the past,
pointing with much pride to the cul-
mination Of the dream of labor for a
home of its own and telling of the
great work to be done in the future.
Every member is urged to attend Mon
day night,

MAKE GOOD"
Says Professor to Cincin-
natl c. of C.

Cincinnati.-Peter E. Dietz, of the
American Academy of Christian De-
nlocracy, asks the local press why the
chamber of commerce does not include
the public wnen it prepares a plan to
protect the public's interest in indus
trial disputes.
"As citizen of Cincinnati, inter-
ested in industrial aggressive
" so-may not raise my voice in
public (since a previous private ap-
peal was denied) to ask the chamber
of commerce for an open meeting ?"
says the correspondent.
May | not again ask, in the light
Of my public rights, which are con
fessedly paramount why the cham
ber Of commerce ought not at least
consult with the public whose best
interests it proposes to promote
and protect?'
4 cannot be blamed for being just
a little suspicious of a powerful or
ganization that undertakes to pro
ate and protect my best interests
". ut even giving me chance to
delegate them formally to it. If this
is the American plan, | want to
know more about it. And maybe
some other Cincinnati citizens feel
the same way."

WAGE INCREASE
REFUSED
Anthracite Coal Miners By
Owners

Philadelphia Anthracite coal
owners have notified mine workers
that a general wage increase will not
be granted, but that Individual cases
of rate inequality will be considered.
The miners are asking for general
increases, a $6 minimum for day labor
and universal eight-hour day.
The coal owners decision is the cul-
mination of a series of dramatic Incl
dents following the award of wage
commission several months ago. An
unauthorized strike followed this
award, and when the strike ended
President Wilson called the coal own
ers and miners in conference to ad-
Just matters. The two parties failed
to agree on a definition of the term
inequalities, used by the president.
The coal owners insisted that the
president meant inequalities in the
commissions award, and the miners
Insisted that it meant all inequalities.
The matter was referred to Secretay
Of Labor Wilson, who made a rule
that was accepted by both parties.
After much time was consumed, the
coal owners now refuse to consider
increases. They say the cost of living
is beino lowered

cause there is no mutuality,' said Sec
reatry of Labor Wilson, in his annual
report.
"The employer does not agree and
cannot agree to give steady employ
ment to all the wage earners concern
ed nor to any specified number.
Consequently the workers included in
sucl. bargain could have no legal
claim except that they were actually
employed by the other party to the
bargain and at his discretion.
There would be no fairness in such
contracts enforceable at law. To per
nit collective bargainings to be legal
ly enforceable would be to discourage
the making of them.
'To leave their fulfllment to the
good sense and good faith of each side
would encourage their making, and
thereby promote industrial peace"
Secretary Wilson declared that the
department of labor Stands for col
lective bargaining 1t recognizes col
lective bargaining as in the nature of
'gentlemen's agreements in contradis-
tinction to legally and forceable CON
tracts"

cost of living brings no advantage to
the actual producer of food.
Working farmers are going to tae
cities because it pays better to work
in a factory than on the farm" says
the league. "The cause of this is
plain. In spite of the decline in agri-
cultural population, rural land values
are increasing. They have reached
and passed the point beyond which
profitable production can be carried
or The farmer cannot pay the exor-
bitant prices demanded for farm land
ana make enough to make decent
living for himself, after paying inter
est on the investment, taxes on all
he produces and consumes and extor-
tionate prices to transportation and
other monopolies.
Until that situation will be rene
died, until the cause of the trouble
shall be removed, the tendency to go
from farm to city will probably con-
tinue, even though city workers have
more than their share of hardship
and trouble
THE remedy is first of all to force
the monopolists to let go who are
holding valuable farm lands unused.
This can be done by taxing land val
ues enough to make holding without
use improbable"

''CAN'T-STRIKE"
PLAN
Is Opposed By Farmers Ma
tiOnal Organization

Washington.-The Poindexter anti
strike bill, that was railroaded through
the senate, is opposed by representa-
tive farmers organizations. The ma
tional board of farm organizations, at
a meeting in st. Louis, condemned
the attempt to handcuff labor and the
farmers national council has taken the
same position. In public statement
Director George P Hampton, of the
latter body, said:
Farmers, | believe, as body, dc
not like strikes, recognizing that they
interrupt production, but farmers do
not blind themselves to the self-evi-
dent fact that under our present-day
Industrial organization strikes even
on railroads after due notice has been
given and negotiations have been held
may be necessary to protect labor
and to enable labor to secure its just
rights.
Strikes should be a last recort
but last resorts sometimes have to be
resorted to, and it is un-American and
contrary to sound public policy to
make striking felony under any and
all conditions.
Farmers realize also that if strik-
ing by labor is made felony the next
step logically would be to have the
commodity marketing of farm staples
which is necessary to secure fair

THE God Who Goes Before" was
the subject OF the baccalaureate ser
mon delivered Sunday morning in the
Mead Memorial Chapel by President
John M Thomas of Pennsylvania
State college President Thomas took
his text from Exodus l3:2l-"The
Lord went before them-tp lead them
the way"
Religion was the impelling force,
said DR. Thomas, in all Hebrew adj
vance. Every forward step taken by
that nation sprang from religious
impulse and was accomplished by re-
ligious passion. 1t was not culture,
knowledge, education that went before
to lead that people the way, nor was
it philosophy which iinpelled and
guided their progress. Nor yet was 1t
the law which went before to lead this
unique people their way First the
moral insight the seer's vision of the
ideal, and not until long afterwards
the embodiment Of the prophets truth
IN statute-and then only frac-
ton
The leaders Of the advance of the
ancient people whose story forms our
Bible were prophets, religious dscov-
erers, men OF faith and of spiritual in
sight The Old Testament is the rec
ord Of a nation forging ahead through
its faith. The function Of religion as
portrayed in those ancient books IS
not primarily consolation, the comfort
Of defeated spirits but leadership, the
inspiration and support Of men who
lift the world to a worther life
Works of healing were not the new
and distinctive feature of the ministry
Of Jesus The immediate access OF
every man to God and of God to every
man-ths was the new and distinctive
truth Of Jesus, and it burned in his
soul as new gospel that was to re-
new the world
He came to cast On the earth the
fire Of revolutionary truth, truth which
was TO 60 before and show men the
way out of the slavery of ritualsm
and legalism and all that binds and
letters the soul of man. So in he New
Testament not less but more clelrly
and nightly than in the old, God goes
before to lead His people the way, and
in the whole Bible religion is set forth
as mighty impelling force in the pro-
gress Of humanity.

beautiful temples built for God You
and ! did not do these things, but it
is our world and we are part OF the
great human. family 1t IS our world
which refuses millions OF men fair
chance at the finer things of lie which
dooms little children by the homes
where they are Graded to ignorance
and squalor and bestiality.
Where shall we look for leadership
toward the better world in which we
must believe? Who shall 60 before to
show us the way? 1t is not in bust
ness to 60 ahead and lead us the
way. Man cannot live by bread alone,
and certainly he can not advance by a
larger supply OF bread. Neither can
science invention, discovery bring US
to the better day we need.
"The only way to a better world is
through better men, and the only way
to people the world with better men is
to make them better one by one. The
only way TO make men better IS to set
the ideal of nobler manhood in their
souls and fill them with zeal and holy
passion to realize a nobler earth. II
is only with eyes to the front that we
can 90 forward And eyes to the front
is the attitude Of faith, and faith is the
gift OF God, the quality Of soul born
when a man believes that there is life
and movement in this mighty universe,
movement toward justice and truth
and beauty, that his is Gods world
and that one day His will shall be
done in it in righteousness and love
1t is only in religion that we shall find
the ideals and incentives necessary to
rouse US from contentment with things
as they are and to fix us in resolution
to make things what they ought to be
Nov, as in the days when Israel
escaped from Egypt, God goes before
to lead His people the way. He grants
us the honor and the pain of an ever
receding goal -
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you-Go!
"The pillar of cloud and fire did not
disappear on the steppes Of Moab. 1t
is only that our eyes are dim. The
symbol is an eternal truth, for our
God still goes before. Unquestionably
His gracious spirit ministers where
the scenes OF pity are, but He is chief
ly and most clearly to be found at
the point of progress of the little army
of the worlds choice spirits who are
advancing truth and establishing right
If you can find the place where the
fight is hardest for justice and right,
where the climb is steepest toward
truth and light, where the bravest and
noblest and most heroic spirits are,
there you will ind God"

TWO HELD ON WOMAN'S
STOCK FRAUD CHARGE

versity avenue. who described them
selves as investigators" were held
yesterday in $1,000 bail by Magistrate
Marsh in Tombs Court to await action

ing false statements and predictions
concerning stocks. The complaint was
made by Mrs. Elizabeth Delve of Is
Lincoln avenue. Rutherford, N. j.. who
claims she turned over to the defend
ants securities amounting to S7,43.
Mrs. Delve said that last October she
visited Saddlemire at Al Liberty street
and he told her the New York Veio-
drome Company had completed its
building at Marble Hill. on the New
York Central Railroad. and was 'mak-
ing a terrible lot Of profit" He told
her, she alleges. that the company
would buy back Its common stock at
par between December 10 and Is. 1920,
and would pay her 5000 cash in pre-
ferred stock drawing per cent. inter-
est and that within year the COM
pany would buy back the preferred
stock.
Accordingly she turned over securi-
ties worth $7.243, and learned later. she
says. that the velodrome has never
been completed and that the company
has made no profit.
