HUGE PROFITS OF PACKERS
REVEALED IN STOCK SELLING
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN

When the attorneys representing
the meat packers appeared before
Judge Alschuler about three months
ago in an effort to show why the
wages of the workers should be re-
duced. the claim was made that low
er wage rates were necessary to pre-
vent the conduct of the packing bust
ness at a loss.
Since that time, Swift & Company

year notes that will bear 7 per cent
interest states that during the last IL
years their clear profits amounted to
$149,537. $40 and OF this amount s72,-

and that the total sales increased
from 25O.00O.000 in 1909 TO over

CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN
SAYS "OPEN SHOP" is
DISHONEST TO WORKERS IS

Milwaukee.--'If employers won't
deal with unions they are denying Ia
Dor the right to organize and forbid
ding them equal privileges with them
Selves" declared the Rev. John A.
Ryan. Catholic University, Washing
ton. father of the min imum wage, in
a special session Of the National Con-
ference, Catholic Charities.
Father Ryan took definite stand
against the "open shop" when that
means a concerted actian on the part
of the employer against union labor.
The open shop movement is es-
sentially dishonest" said Ryan, be
cause it processes that union and nom
union workers can work together
without discrimination against either.
Open shop advocates contend that
employers should not deal with unions
at all. They simply don't want to
deal with unions, though they don't
say so openly. They refuse to recog-
nize the fact that labor has right to
nnionism and organization as much as
themselves and that labor must unite
TO protect itself.
labor men have long ago discov.
cred the need of organization to pro-
tect themselves against unemploy-
ment and insure themselves agains
wage cuts in times of depression.
Now employers are concerting ac-
ton on denying labor the right of pro-
lection by proclaiming open shops
and open shop movements, decidedly
unjust and unfair to the laboring man.
There are many contractors Who
are not giving employees a fair show.
fhese same men are the ones who,
suspicious OF unions. are denying
them the right to collective bargain
ing and weakening the strength of the
iabOring masses.
Labor has as much right to organ
ize as capital. 1t has as much right
as business to unite in associations
such as commerce associations, and
BUSINESS mems clubs. which tend to
rule business and civic activities. Both
nave their place and both are right.

SIMCHATH TORAH.

There are few holidays such as Sim
chath Torah, when the Jew conscious
ly reioices over the Torah and the
completion of the annual cycle OF
readings in the Synagogue. Imagine
the love of parent for child and OF
child for parent, and you will get some
conception of the loye the Jew bears
and shows on Simchath Torah.
And is not the Torah really child
and parent of the Jew? 1t is
the child of the Jew, the product OF
the Jewish genius. There are many
sacred literatures of many nations,
but only the Jew produced the Torah.
But it is also the parent, the creator
of the Jew. Only with such law
was it possible then to evolve the Jew.
Hence the combined affection of par
emit and child are lavished upon the
Torah by the Jew on Simchas Torah.
We have seen celebrations on tnat
day that are not, perhaps, as orderly
or as decorous as they might be. But
their spontaneity, their whole-souied
out-pouring Of the Jews spirit IN It's
desire to honor the Law atoned for the
lack of decorum. After all, intimates
may permit themselves certain hber-
ties, and so much at home did the Jew
feel in his synagogue on Slmchas
Torah that he forgot the reverence
he at other times paid to the house
of worship. Who knows but that this
very informality and hearty manner
helped to give the Jew vitality ana
makes him still able to show his devo-
ton to the Law, even on less gladstone
DAYS than Simchas Torah?

GOrTHARD DEUTsCH

Another name, alas, must be added
to the growing list Of the great sons
of whom Israel has during the last
few years been bereft. Again has the
realm of Jewish scholarship suffered
an irreparable loss. Gotthard Deutsch,
genial writer, lovable personality, pre-
eminent Jewish historian, has been
called to the "Yeshibah shell ma-aloh,"
to the Academy on High" In his
death Judaism has lost an able expo

EDITORIAL
HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

That history is being made, and made
rapidly, just now, everybody realizes.
That our own peoples history is even
more perceptibly being made and with
greater rapidity, no one can doubt.
The conflict of the nations has had
most telling effect upon the condition
Of the Jews, and the sudden changes
in the geography and government OF
European countries have added many
and new pages to Israel's history and
experience. Yet signs are also not
wanting Of the proverbial repetition
with which history is often charged.
What occurred in Palestine many CEN
turtles ago is recurring in Russia to-
day. What happened in the recon-
struction Of the Jewish commonwealth
in Ezra's time is happening in the
reorganization of Jewish life under
the impetus of new Russia. When
Zerubabel and Joshua the priest
brought the first company of Jews
from Babylonia to Palestine and were
about to engage in the rebuilding OF
the sanctuary, Jews of idolatrous con-
fession living in Samaria wanted to
Join them in the task Of rehabilitating
the country and rebuilding the Tenn
pie. These were not admitted to the
Jewish community, however, as they
represented a mixture of Jew and
Assyrian and, they wanted to join
forces with the Jew while practicing
the idolatrous cult of the Assyrians.
This refusal on the part of the Jews
to permit the participation Of the
Samaritans in the re-establishment Of
Jewish life in Palestine seemed un-
necessarily stern and intolerant and

grasp of details he had, and how he
could make them live in the retelling.
No less important was the mans
personality. For thirty years profess
sor of the Jewish history at the He
brew Union College, he was brought
in contact with the Rabbis who re-
ceived their training at Cincinnati,
and them he sought to Undue with his
own inclusive outlook on Judaism.
Nothing in Jewish life was foreign to
him, and his essays and books deal
as warmly with the most recent ten
denotes in Yiddish literature as with
the most ancient Hebrew classics. He
was a student of men as well as OF
books, and his delight was to attend
divers gatherings where he could see
and enjoy the many sided manifesto
lions of Jewish life. There are stories
told of how, stranded on Sabbath
in some small community, he would
ioin with a group of Jews in singing
"Zmiroth" at "Shalosh S'udoth," and
he seemed to- enjoy such communion
no less than that Of his fellow schoi-
ars.
That his loss is irreparable to the
world of Jewish scholarship goes
without saying. The prodigious men,
DRY and the zeal that could keep pace
with it, are indeed rarely found en-
bodied in one individual. Even If
much of the results Of the labors Of
a generation in the field of Jewish
historical research has been carefully
and methodically tabulated on a card
index system, that will not minimize
the loss to Jewish scholarship. For,
where can one find the genial nature,
the piquant personality Of a Gotthard
Deutsch? His memory will live long,
enshrined in the heart of his pupils
and those whom he met and enthused
in the cause Of Jewish learning.

JUDAIsM's STRENGTH

A recent news item from Hungary
informs us that one hundred twenty
nine persons have embraced Judaism,
between January and August. OF
these. half are converted Jews who
returned to their ancestral faith and
the others were Christians who be-
came converted to Judaism. When
we remember what terrible night
mare life has been for the Jew in
Hungary during the last few years,
when we remember how they have
been bounded for the sole and only
reason that they were Jews, one can
realize what compliment the hum
dred and twenty-nine conversions are
to the virile strength of Judaism.
AS to the renegade Jews who have
returned to their brethren, one can
perhaps understand their frame OF
mind. One can imagine that Hungar-
ians of today would not be too eager
to welcome Jews, even into the bosom
of the Church. AS soon as the Jew
converted to Christianity realized how
unwelcome he was to his new-fOund
co-religionists he would sink back, to
his former Jewish associates, no mat
ter how unwelcome he might be even
among them.
But what of the Christian converts
to Judaism? What inducements could
have moved them to leave the doml-
nant class in Hungary, to cast their
LOT with the Jews SO despised, down.
trodden and bounded in the land OF
the Magyars? If Judaism can In,
duce men and women to disregard
their safety and all that goes to make
life attractive, in order to follow the
dictates of their conscience, it proves
that it has power to attract and in
spire equal to the balmiest and most
fourishing days of the Jewish past.
To the weakened and hesitating
sons Of Israel who cast longing
chances at other faiths, the latest in
formation from Hungary should serve
to strengthen allegiance.
