Trade Union Lntrospection
Secretary Of the British General Federation ellis the Truth as
He Sees 1t About Organized Labor
(From the London Spectator)

Everything written by Mr.. W. A. Ap
pleton, secretary of the General Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, is we'll worth
reading, and his new book l"What We
Want and Where We Arepl is packed
with good sense. We have no doubt
that if ne had been listened to years
ago we should now hear little of un-
employment. short introduction has
been provided by that stalwart labor
leader Colonel John Ward who writes
with his usual plainness:
''In times of stress Che says) we
are apt to do strange things and
adopt stranger remedies in the some
times vain hope of overcoming our
difficulties. The trade union move
ment has had its period Of stress
and strange remedies, but its recent
Affections have produced finer crop
of quacks than usual, and it is the
more necessary that this great in
strument for human betterment and
industrial regeneration should begin
to consult the less snowy but more
SODcI OIL lLS professors.
Tyranny of Phrases
Mr.. Appleton does we'll to lead off
with some sober reflections on the
tyranny of phrases. A large number Of
people are inclined to cling with pas
sionate faith to new phrase merely
because it is new and because they are
tired of the old phrases, even of those
which have stood the test. The world
Of general politics rings with such
phrases as self-determination" and
"open diplomacy loose phrases
which, when they are used as though
they had scientific accuracy, serve as
mere marsh fires and lead people into
empty places, if not to their doom. The
phrases which for some years have been
tyrannizing over the manual workers
are nearly all drawn from Marx Mr..
Appleton earnestly warns his readers
against being misled. 1t must not be
supposed, however, that he does not
stand up, and stand up stoutly, for his
own clients. He says what he says be-
cause he devoutly believes that he is
pointing out to labor the only way to
prosperity. He knows that he is spoken
of by Socialists and Communists as an
agent of capitalism in disguise, but the
most splendid fact about Mr.. Appleton
is that he is fearless. He tells the
truth as he sees it, and no doubt he
is fortified by the reflection that he
will be justified in the end. The record
of his innumerable services to labor
while he has been the secretary Of the
General Federation of Trade Unions
will speak for him.
After all, he has no reason to play
anybody's game but that of the manual
| worker; he has known what it is to
be unemployed and to be oppressed:
"In dealing with the modern rela-
tions of labor to the owners Of capi-
tai. we have to remember, in expla-
nation of some facts and in partial
extenuation of others, that the owner
Of capital has mismanipulated the

lives of the workers until their
hearts have become ready receptacles
for the dogma of the doctrinaire and
the extremist. 1t is difficult for those
who have never passed through the
fires to realize the agony the fires
inHict. The men or women whose
lives have always fallen in pleasant
places can hardly hope to understand
the point of view of the men or wom-
en- whose lives, from birth to death.
epitomized tragedy. The lack of op-
portunity for the poor begins before
birth and continues in most cases
until death. The expectant mother
knows that her child will lack some
physical or mental quality because
she has worked too much and eaten
too little prior to the child's arrival,
while the elderly man knows that
the only way out for him is through
the Valley of the Shadow. Lanca-
shire of to-day suffers from the in
humanltles perpetrated upon the lit
tie children of yesterday; not by the
mothers and fathers, but by the own
ers of capital who insisted that very
young child labor was essential to
industrial success"
Mr.. Appleton has come through the
fires himself with his ideals not merely
unimpaired but intensified. 1t is real
satisfaction in these times, when labor
is like the daughters of the horse
leech, crying "Give, give!" to read Mr..
Appleton's assertion that nothing
counts for SO much as spiritual val
ues." He deals faithfully with various
fashionable nostrums. He tells those
who advocate trade guilds that they
are building on a discredited founda-
tion. The trade guilds died, he says,
of super exclusiveness." Just as land
less men attack land owners, so it was
the excluded craftsman who attacked
and brought about the downfall of the
guilds. He expresses the confident
opinion that unless revived guilds were
to include every one engaged in or at
tached to the industry which they
served they would be bound to fail
again.
Workshop Control
Turning to what is called workshop
CONTROL" he points out very truly that
the demand for it is of political rather
than industrial origin. The principle
Of workshop control, that is to say,
control by the workers themselves,
assumes knowledge not merely of
industrial processes, but Of commercial
management and international ex-
changes. Mr.. Appleton says that he
knows admirable workmen who believe
in workshop control, but that there is
not one of them who is at once an
accomplished craftsman and the pos
SCISSOR Of an effective knowledge of the
complicated ramifcations of trade. As
regards state socialism during the war,
Mr.. Appleton is astonished to find how
few people recognize that what the
state was doing then was merely to
purchase within its own borders ar

+ HAVE a little dark sketch,
All black and brown,
Where q pale water flows,
And a pale sky looks down.
Three trees are on the bank,
Round willows. bent
Over the quiet water,
MINDLESS and intent.
Under them a stealthy hound
Guests as in a dream,
Yearning toward the dark field
Across the narrowed stream.
In the long grasses there
Small lives must glide;
He will ford the shadows,
And find them where they hide.
In that strange twilight land,
All brown and black,
I follow with the questing beast
The pale waters track.
Beyond the bending willows
I find what I would seek
A wide, clear breathing space,
Cool and dim, and bleak.
Neither night nor day It knows,
Neither song nor wings,
Only dusk and silence,
And the sense of lonely things.

ticles which had no reproductive value
Whatever, and for which it paid price
altogether disproportionate to the
value. "The state" he says, twas pur-
chasing fireworks and paying for them
with paper" Mr. Appleton very neatly
turns upon his traducers who say that
he is not loyal to his own class when
tionaries: "It may be desirable to
bring about catastrophe for the sake
Of propaganda; it may be very al
truistic and very noble to think only
Of the future generations; but can
not escape the conclusion that my own
duty lies with the people who live
to-day"
Mr.. Appleton IS particularly cogent
in the passages in which he argues
that reduced production-one of the
aims of the new trade unionism--
means lower standard of living, and
that higher production means a higher
standard. After turning out the whole
box Of trade union tricks and examin-
ing them, he comes to the conclusion
that trade unionism is badly served
by mixing up politics with industry
Most of the disappointments for labor
have come from schemes which were
political in their birth. Most Of the
great strikes have been much more
political than industrial, and against
that kind of strike Mr.. Appleton de-
clares with all his force. He, of course,
recognizes the right to strike, to with
hold labor, as necessary part Of the
liberty Of the subject. But he con-
demns out and out the strike which is
really directed against the community.
Tho chief sufferer, though the suffer
ing is always intense all round, Is the
worker himself,

Paying the Bill
summer

The Non-Partisan League in North
Dakota is fighting for its existence.
As with all Socialistic theories which
seem so beautiful when the agitator
Is explaining them, somebody must
settle when the bill comes in-and the
people always pay.
North Dakota farmers have had the
pleasure of putting up millions for the
League activities and its state-owned
enterprises. Mr.. Townley, the leader
of the League, says the farmers have
been saved 25 million dollars year.
Just how he figures it he does not
explain, but the farmers are beginning
to realize that they are selling their
wheat, hogs and cattle for the market
price the same as in other states, and
that they are out the millions in adj
ditional taxes they have to pay for
carrying out the League program.
State bonds have gone begging on
the market because investors are
afraid of the rule of the political ex-
periments who have had control of
North Dakota.

HOW LEGION MEN GET LAND
Applicants for Homestead Entries
Should First ma~e Personal In
spection of District.

In response to many Inquiries from
eN-servlce men In the Middle West re-
gardlng government land grants. irwin
!. Femrite, secretary of Argonne post
of the American Legion In Des Moines,
Ia, has made on inves igation CT the
situation.
Persons desiring TO make homestead
entries" said Mr.. feInrlte, should
first fully inform themselves assto the
character and quality of lands they
desire TO enter and should In no case
apply TO enter until they have ex-
amined each legal subdivision for
which they make application. Salts
factory Information concerning the
lands may be obtained from u personal
visit to the district in which one
wishes TO take out land.
Each applicant is required TO swear
that he Is well acquainted with the
character OF the land described In
his application and the only way that
he can assure himself that prior
settlers have no claim is to make
personal inspection OF same.
An ex-service man Is required TO
establish residence on the land In
solved after his entry is allowed. un-
less an extension OF time is granted
ON account of sickness, climatic
reasons or similar excuses. Credit is
given for service In the Army, Navy
or Marines. providing the applicant
has had eighteen months Of service. lf
such is the case. the applicant Is re-
quired TO live on the land only seven
months. III he obtains so much credit
for military service that there Is re-
quired only one years residence. he
must prove only such amount OF
cultivation as will prove his good faith
as homestead claimant. II his
credit for service requires more than
one years residence. he must show
cultivation TO the extent or one-siI-
teenth of the area Of the land be-
ginning with the second year. Regard
less Of credit for service. all appli-
cants must prove that there Is
habitable house on the land.
There Is only one portion of the
country where land may be obtained
without the requirement OF home
stead. AT Sentinel. Ariz.. there are
10000 acres open, for which no home
stead is required. but which necessi
tates the payment of seventy-fise
dollars for three hundred and twenty
acres and an expenditure OF one
dollar per acre for improvement. This
is arid land which may be used foi
cotton raising II Irrigated. When
Irrigated, II sells for from two to
three hundred dollars an acre. Ii
is estimated that the cost Of irriga-
tion on three hundred and twenty
acres Is about $4,000.
Approximately 132.OOO.OOO acres Of
land are open, including every state
west OF the Mississippi river except
Iowa and Texas The first thing TO
do Is TO decide ON the state. Then,
get the location OF the land offices In
that state All blank forms of affida-
Wits and other papers may be obtained
for the district office In which the
land lies.
Taking out u homestead Is not d
speculative proposition. If the appli-
cant can afford to establish himself
for the period required under the
homestead laws. taking advantage Of
the credit allowed him for service In
the World war. he will be well repaid
after few wears -
