THEN AND NOW

Surely time works wondrous
changes. and the attitude of America,
the cradle of liberty, "the land OF the
free and the home of the brave"
should be awarded the palm for
blowing hot and cold with the same
breath. Years ago Louis kossuth,
the leader of the Hungarian revolu-
ton, was brought to the United
States with great honor in an Amen-
can warship, received by the Presl-
dent of the United States, and heard
with respect by members of Congress.
Very recently Donal O'Callaghan, one
of the leaders in Ireland's struggle
for freedom, is permitted TO land only
with the status of common seaman,
while one of the great departments of
the government uses its powerful IN
fiuences to bring about his deporta-
ton and to place him in the clutches
of the imperialism against which he
is struggling. The difference is just
a matter of three-quarters of CEN
tury, during which all the glorious
traditions of our revolutionary strug-
gle against England and our aspira-
tions to lead all of the nations of the
world toward freedom have been for
gotten. In IT'S France welcomed
Benjamin Franklin, who came to plead
the cause of American independence,
although he bore no British passport.
In the same spirit America in 1920
should have received Donal O'Cal-
laghan, who came to plead for Irish
independence, although he had been
denied British passport.

THE COMPENSATION LAW

The insurance interests of the
country are moving heaven and earth
to secure a modification of the Ohio
workmen's compensation law so as to
permit liability companies to operate
in the state. State employees, to the
number of upwards of 1000 have been
ca aioled and bullodzed into signing a
petition acking the legislature to take
favorable action in the matter. La
Dor, whose untiring efforts secured
the passage of the act, is of course,
solidly opposed to the proposed
change, and now the Ohio Manu-
facturers Association, which formerly
opposed the measure, has become con-
vinced after several years trial, that
the present law can not be improved
upon, has joined hands with the Ohio
State Federation of Labor and will
assist in fighting the attempt to alter
it. Ohio lawmakers should keep
hands off and let well enough alone

OUR CHOICE
fail. i

In "a few days our Bro. VIM. M.
Morgan, Congressman-elect whom we
honor and respect, will leave US
"only in theory" and will proceed to
Washington, D. c., to take his seat
among the nations selects. We may
expect strife and commotion to take
place, but likewise we may expect,
nay we know, that the effect upon
these gentlemen will be a salutary
one. People in the remotest towns
who formerly were unconcerned are
now viewing sharply matters of policy
and courses of action. Impression
able men are subject to influences
that are beyond their control, just as
we all are prey to moods, and these
are forces that battle analysis. We
will pass through many moods, and
perhaps complaints of apathy will
follow. But if we think earnestly,
there is an assurance that there is an
earnest thought given to Americas
affairs.
Prejudice is not so silent as some
thoughtlessly may think, it will as
sert itself by contemptuous cajoleries
or threats, but no honest judgment of
any true citizen will cause him to
register his belief that an emblem is
greater than the flag. bequeathed and
preserved by those whom we venerare.
"The wise man is the state" said
Emerson. 1t is not "the thunder of
the captains and the shouting" but
the still, small voice of conscience in
the hearts of the million that is the
hope of democracy.
So let US be in a mood of sobriety
and we will see America prepare once
more to exemphfy the virtues of free
institutions. We surely will see
moods Of passion and distrust pass
and the decision will inevitably rest
with that preponderant number OF
Americans who stand apart from the
crowd and think for themselves.
So let US not expect too much from
Bro. Morgan in the beginning, but lei
US hope and pray that Providence viii
guide him safely from all criticism
and that we may unite more solidly
at the next call and be unostentatiou!
in doing So May his days in oul
capital be pleaNant.

During the war we were urged to
"give until it hurt" Most every work
er did that. He was contributing to
a war for democracy, he was willing
to 90 the limit. The ink was not dry
on the armistice before certain en-
blowing interests in this country
started a war on labor. With them
democracy" was all right in Europe,
but it would never do in American
industry. 1t would reduce profits and
destroy the autocratic power long
held over the workers. If you were
willing to pay for democracy" in
Europe, if you were willing to give
until it hurt, why not give a little
now that we may have industrial as
we'll as political democracy? If dem
ocracy is a good thing for European
policies, it ought also be good for
American industry. Give a little for
industrial democracy in America by
joining the union of your industry.

BACK TO THE FARM" FOR HIM

Mr.. Harding, author of the Cossack
bill, seeing the handwriting on the
wall and smelling defeat in the air,
was afraid to let the measure come
to a vote and crawfshed by having
the Infamous law referred to the
committee on agriculture, where it
will undoubtedly die the death it so
Justly merits. This too, in spite of
the almost unanimous support of
the capitalistic press of the state, in
Guiding a Newark daily, whose
so-called editorial writer spent many
hours of his valuable CD time in
boosting the scab protecting law and
extolling its merits. If this gentle
man would follow the bill to its last
resting place, the agricultural depart
ment, and devote his surplus energies
to the production of literary gems
regarding the most approved methods
of spreading fertilizers, his efusions
would more nearly conform to his
mental capacity, and might aid in the
production of better cabbage heads
and in improved methods of hauling
manure

CAPITALISTS WOULD CONFUSE
WAGES AND PROFITS

The attempt to reduce wages by
appealing to the workers sense OF
fairness reveals the hypocrisy and
cant of those who talk about square
deal"
The workers are told that capital
(meaning capitalists) and labor must
both sacrifice in this period of read
justment."
Coupon clippers and money lenders
favor the plan, as do editors and So
called economists who talk about
natural" laws and publicists who
wag their heads in owlish wisdom.
When these modern sages and seers
say capital (capitalists) and labor
must make sacrifice" they would have
folks believe that when the capitalist
abandons wartime profits, his living
standards are lowered.
These profits have been so stupend-
Gus. especially in the basic industries,
that the ingenuity of the most skilled
accountants have been tested to con-
ceal them.
Despite a notion-wide propaganda
on high wages, government figures
show that wages today, or at any
time during the war, have not made
prewar living standards possible.
A large portion of the press ignores
this fact, while it prints crude edit
orials on "silk-shirted workingmen;"
economists with an eye on the Car
negie pension fund assemble figures
to plead the cause of those they would
serve, and university presidents, hop
ing for a million-dollar endowment,
attack "high" wages. But in no in
stance is the governments figures
challenged.
When a capitalist talks about less
profits this does not mean less whole
some food and warm clothing for him
self and family
But less wages mean instant lower
ing of the workers living standards
To the capitalist profit does not
mean interest on the money he in
vests, which is a charge on the in
dustry, and is guaranteed by a lien
on the plant or business in the form
of a mortgage, called bonds. Profits
are exclusive of interest.
There is no comparison between
wages and profits.
The virtuous, unselfish pose of big
business and its defenders is one OF
the humors of the hour.
The attempt of this element to be
impartial when they plead with work.

LABOR'S PRINCIPLE

We believe it pays to have prln-
chile and stick to it. We OF organ
ized labor have one. We believe IN
organization and cooperation. We
believe that an injury to one IS an in
Jury to all. Sometimes we make
mistakes in trying to correct that IN
mrv. but the individual or organlza-
tion that never makes mistakes is a
dead one. The people in the cemetery
make no mistakes. We believe IN Or
qanizing and collective bargaining be-
tween employer and employ ana eS-
tablishing a wage scale o. sufficient
remuneration so that the sta ld&rds OF
living will advance rather than go
back We also believe it is our right
and privilege to say who we will Wo:k
with. If a man wants to remain a
non-union man, we have the right to
refuse t. work with him. We believe
in union conditions. We do not be-
licve in the open shop. The open
shop is open to only one kind OF
workman. and that is the nol-uni'r
man. In the open shop if Il unlor
man is foolish enough to seek work
there ana they have the opportunity
he is always Disseminated against.

A QUESTION OF MORALS

Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands,
Federal Judge in the Chicago district,
is in trouble.
He has publicly announced that he
will not send to the penitentiary a
young bank teller who stole $4,000
from the institution in which he was
employed. In the course Of the trial
Judge Landis discovered that the
young man was receiving $50 a
month, that he was the sole support
of a good-sized family and that the
bank in which he worked was paying
its stockholders 20 per cent dividends.
Judge Landis held that a bank
which refused to pay its employees a
reasonable wage had no right to COM
plain if the employees robbed it be-
casionally, and he made it quite clear
that, in his judgment, in the event Of
loss the directors of the institution,
and not the thief, should be held re-
sponsible.
This Is a new and somewhat start
ling doctrine, and it has aroused the
ire of Senator Dial Of South Carolina,
gentleman who has maintained
profitable relations with Southern
cotton mills, where dividends are
stained with the blood Of little chill
dren. Dial believes Lands should be
removed from the bench, and Lands
declares quite jovially that he doesn't
care a rap what Dial thinks about
him.
In the meantime Congressman
Welty of Ohio has impeached Lands
because he is holding two jobs-Fed-
eral judge at $500 a year and arbi-
traitor of a big league baseball al
$42, 500 a year. But that is another
story.
We are not disposed to quarrel witt
Judge Lands because he did not senC
the young man to prison. Sending
men to prison is not always the bes
way to eform them. But we can no
refrain from pointing out some of thu
possible results of the general accept
ance of the doctrine which the Learned
jurist has laid down.
If an underpaid bank clerk is iusti
fed in robbing his employer, wha
would the 100000 underpaid arr
brutally-persecuted employees of tn
Steel Trust be justified in doing?
The naked query is sufficient to in
dicate where the judge is drifting

Several facts and comparisons
OF interest can be made from the ac-
companying table. Perhaps the most
striking fact Is brought out In the
first column OF figures. Note that
In this average OF the entire seventy
eight farms after deducting the cash
operating expenses from the total re-
ceipts but $50 dollars was left as net
farm income. Aside from the farm
products consumed by the family
and a house to live In this $50 re-
presents the yearly return for the
farmers and his family's labor and
interest on his sl6,ss2 invested. Or
TO put Il In another way, after allow
ing per cent interest on their Av-
verage investment, which is COM
paratively low rate for this section,
these farmers averaged a minus la
Dor income OF S933. Such are the
facts for these farms In 1920. when
"the bottom dropped out" OF alfalfa
hay prices and but very few farmers
fed their hay.
The results for the year OF 1919
when alfalfa hay sold for SIS to sic
per ton In the stack are very differ
ent. These results are shown In
Column 5. Here isstead OF $50 as
net farm income the farmers aver
aged s1675, and instead OF minus
family labor income OF $933, II was
$739 TO their credit.
To analyze further the results for
1920. Out OF the rs farms was Sc.
gregated those who depended entire
ly on the sale OF alfalfa as their one
source OF income. There were is
such farms In this group and the re-
suits are given in column 2. Not

return for family labor and no In

work in feeding and milking a few

A similar comparison OF the hay
group and the dairy group for 1919
as brought out In columns 6 and Z
does not show the same relation. IL
fact the dairy farms, which averaged
