HELP THE IRISH!

With the exception perhaps of the
Jews and the Indians, no civilized peo-
pie has ever been subjected to more
horrible outrages than the Irish ma
ton. The criminal devastating and
incessant warfare conducted by Lloyd
Georges administration against Ire
land. with much less regard for the
laws of war than were ever shown
even by the German kaiser in Belgium,
is a disgrace to the world and shames
the best men among the British
themselves. The so-called reprisals,
the indiscriminate destruction and
burning of the Irish houses, the pro-
miscuous shooting of the crown forces
have a parallel only in the anti-Jew-
ish program at their worst. Every
civilized people must come to the res
cue of the Irish, and labor, knowing
the pangs of oppression, will readily
and whole -heartedly answer the call
of the American committee for relief
in Ireland, which is now engaged in a
drive for funds to help the Irish peo-
pie, to relieve the distress of the help
less women and children, irrespective
of religious or political opinion, or of
the geographical location of the areas
involved. Every fabor organization
every workingman and woman will
appreciate this opportunity to relieve
the sufferings of a people who show
an example to the world of brave
courageous and self-sacrifcing strug.
gle for their rights and liberties.

Keep the industries going, even IT 1T
is necessary to use the police powers
OF the state to guarantee their opera
tion. Such was the burden of their
advice. We should like to see the
bows reprint some of this stuff now.
It would make interesting reading.
Some 1000 900 are unemployed. They
are not on strike. They have been
locked out of the plants by the own
ers. There are more men out of work
because of this lockout than were idle
in all the strikes of 1919. The dear
"public" certainly must be suffering
now as it never suffered then. There
is more need for the advice to keep
the industries going now than there
was then. But the boys of the press
are silent. There is no demand on
their part that the state or federal
government should intervene to open
the plants and keep production going
No fearful yawps appear in behalf OF
mystical public" On the contrary
the bows counsel Christian resignation
to the lockout. The 100000 must
not make any noise about it. The
bows are earning their salaries, ano
none are more vociferous than they
in the claim that there is no sucf
thing as Capitalist press" Wha'
would we do without them?

THE "ONE-MAN" CAR

Newark, Ohio, is adopting the one
man car system and here is what the
Newark Leader thinks of it:
Against the universal protest of the
patrons and the disgust of the over
worked "motorconductorman," or
whatever is the title of the expert
operator who runs the outfit, the Ohio
Electric started the conductorless car
service on last Sunday on the North
Fourth street line, and this was fol-
lowed a few days later adopting the
same plan on other lines throughout
the city. 1t is said this action is in
retaliation for the refusal of the men
to accept a wage reduction or to even
consider such a proposition before the
expiration of their contract in Aug
ust. Not being able to cut the wages
the higher-ups decided to get even
by reducing the working force to the
great inconvenience and discomfort of
its patrons. 1t is a question as to
whether this backward step will pay in
the long run.

THE UNORGANIZED

Unorganized workers have no voice
in fixing the terms of their labor.
They have two alternatives: Accept
the terms laid down by organized en-
ployers or get along as best they can.
In our time, we are not called upon
to deal with individual employers.
Industry is so developed and wealth
so concentrated that we are confront
ed in nearly every avenue of employ
ment with the associated interests of
the employers.
Workmen as individuals in our day
are as much at the mercy of the en-
ployers as is the rudderless ship at
the mercy of the waves.
The labor movement, however, con-
fronts each new economic situation
as it arises, ready to give succor to
the weak and defenseless and ready
to speak for them with the voice OF
organized power,
Labor is defenseless, is weak, has
no voice only so long as it chooses
to remain in that condition. The la
Dor movement IS open to every man
and woman who works with hand OF
brain. 1t recognizes no aristocracy
among the toiling masses. Born OF
common interest, it welcomes all
on terms of equality It's strength is
limited only by the strength of the
men and women who compose it.
All the economic advantages which
unorganized workers enjoy is a mere
reflex of the activity of the men AM
women of the labor movement.
The standards of hours, the rate Of
pay, the working conditions-all arr
graduated from the trade agreement:
prevailing in the organized trades
| The man or woman, then, who holds
aloof from the union of his or he
craft, while accepting the benefit
which accrue from that organization
is not only taking something for whicl
no service is rendered, but is check
ing movement which can give great
er benefit to all in the trade were al
engaged in the trade a part of it.
| Unorganized workers gain every
thing and lose nothing by attachin,
themselves to the trade union move

they retard their own development a.

HOW ABOUT THE BAND CON-
CERTS?

Will the people of Hamilton get to
enjoy the band concerts this summer
that were the source of so much pleas
ure last year? 1t was due to the
American Legion that we enjoyed the
concerts last year, as they were con-
Quoted under its auspices. Wonder if
the soldier boys will put it over again
this year? If this organization does
not care to take it up, how about the
chamber of commerce or the Retail
Merchants Association taking this
matter up for this summer? Nothing
gives more pleasure to all the people
and nothing is more appreciated than
these free concerts.

LABOR'S RIGHT TO QUIT WORK
Deprive labor of the right to quit
work and you have destroyed its
power of resistance totally. Behind

armies and the navies. Behind the
laws for their internal government is

hind the organization of the masters

all force is hateful. 1t appeals, there

but to surrender the right to strike is
