The airplanes and the capital war;

time.
Army, navy and marine corps avl-
ators. using bombs ranging in size
from ESQ to 1000 pounds, were pre-
pared to carry hi a series of attacks
on the former German battleship
Ostfriesland, a heavily armored craft
corresponding to the dreadnought
Florida of the American navy. AL
though battle conditions could not
be simulated as the Ostfpiesland was
unnamed and at anchor, the result
of the test was expected to have an
important bearing or the controver-
sy started by Brigadier General Will
liam Mitchell, assistant chief OF the
army air service. with his declara-
/. On before a congressional commit
tee that the airplane was making
the capital ship obsolete.
Many naval officers here TO OBJ
serve the attack predicted that the
Ostfriesland would be able to with
stand any punishment the bombers
could give. On the other hand army
officers believe the airmen Will score
a victory. They said even II the
craft was not sunk the airplane
would infict so much damage that
the ship would be out of running.

WHY UNIONS OPPOSE
''SHOP COMMITTEES"

While trade unions have manifested
bitter resentment against the "com-
pany union" or industrial council,
the objections urged are not against
the "shop committee" organizations
per Sc, but against the attempt of en-
ployers to use this form of organiza-
tion in preventing trade union organ
ization, and in delegating TO these
shop organizations functions which
cannot be effectively exercised except
ing by the trade unions. 1t is incon-
ceivable how uniform minimum
standards of wages, maximum re-
quirements of hours and improved
working conditions, can be establish
ed in any other form than through
the trade union organization This is
especially true in competitive indus
tries; without intercourse and ex-
change of viewpoint, the company"
plan can contribute nothing of a
helpful nature. To the contrary, this
form of organization and method of
securing the investment of the work
ers in these plants, can only lead to
greater industrial confusion and un-
rest.
1t is not urged that the shop COM
mittee" plan as supplemental branch
to the trade unions cannot be made
to serve a most helpful purpose in in
dustry. To the contrary, the neces-
sity of team work" between all
workers in a plant or shop is fully
and freely conceded.
The trade unions fully recognize
that there are many questions closely
affecting daily life and comfort in the
success of business-and, in no small
degree, efficiency of which
are peculiar to the individual work
shop or factory. Confined to these
purposes and to maintain a system of
cooperation in all these workshop
problems, shop committees" as sup

movement are not alone favored but
recommended Trade unions and shop
committees are not necessarily in con-
flict with one another. Confined to
their rightful sphere, limited to their
appropriate functions, coordinate
with the trade union movement, and
intelligently administered, "shop com
mittees" can be made to render in
valuable service in protecting and
promoting the industrial investments
of both employers and workers, and
through democratic means and co-or-
dination of effort, advance and enhance
the community's interest in our in
dustrial enterprise. Matthew Vol,

The CRIME OF
POVERTY

The thing of things | should like to
show you is that poverty is a crime.
| do not mean that it is a crime to be
poor Murder is a crime; but it is
who is in poverty | look upon not
as criminal in himself so much as the
victim of a crime for which others, as
we'll, perhaps, as himself, are respon-
sible That. poverty is curse, the
bitterest of curses, we all know. Car
Isle was right when he said that the
hell of which Englishmen We're most
afraid was the hell of poverty; and
this is true, not of Englishmen alone,
but of people all over the civilized
world, no matter what their nation
atty. 1t is to escape this hell that we
strive and strain and struggle, and
work on oftentime in blind habit long
after the necessity for work is gone.
Therefore, | hold that poverty is a
crine-not an individual crime, but a
social crime.
There is nothing in nature like this
poverty which today curses US. We
see rapine in nature, we see one spe-
cies destroying another; but as a gen
eral thing animals do not feed on
their own kind; and, wherever we see
one kind enjoying plenty, all individ-
uals of that kind share it. No man,
think, ever saw herd of buffalo of
which a few were fat and the great
majority lean. No man ever saw a
flock of birds of which two or three
were swimming in grease and the
others all skin and bone Nor in saw
age life is there anything like the pow
erty that testers in our civilization
And yet the peculiar characteristic of
this modern poverty of ours is, that ii
is deepest where wealth most abounds

NOT SLACKERS
Packed Warehouses Refute
Charge That Workers
Laid Down" on Job
Public Fast Learning to I'm
derstand Tactics of
"Open Shoppers

Much was said during the past few
years about the productivity of
workers. They were charged with
laying down" during and after the
war, this being one of the stock argu-
ments presented for the wage-slashing
campaign that was launched imme-
diately after the signing of the ar
mistice.
But labor did not slack, as the
great accumulation of materials of all
sorts in warehouses fully proved 1t
produced more during the period be-
tween 1914 and 1919 than ever before,
and did it willingly and cheerfully
in face of many discouraging circum-
stances.
A census recently completed by the
Journal of Commerce, a financial au-
thority, discloses that eight leading in
dustries showed a large increase of
output during the six-year period The
increase was particularly marked in
steel works and rolling mills, the met
al trades, automotive industries and
textiles.
Making due allowance for price
changes" remarks the Journal of
Commerce, 'it is estimated that the
actual increase in volume of OUTPUT
was between 35 and 40 per cent"
Accepting the above analysis as
correct, it means that the wage work
ers since 1914 have contributed to in
dustry between 35 and 40 per cent
more in commodities and services. Yet
there is demand for still more in
creased production, lower wages and
the destruction of the unions.
The conclusion is unavoidable that
the 100 per cent Americanism advocat-
ed by "open shoppers" and other bait.
ers of labor is intimately related to
the intense exploitation of class that
has suffered much at the hands OF
those who profited most from its ac.
tivities.
Eventually the American people
will understand the tactics that have
been employed by those who would, il
they could, lower the standards of the
American worker. He has been sub
jected to vicious, brutal campaign
of misrepresentation that had as its
object the prejudicing of public opin
ion as preliminary to the assaults
that subsequently were made agains
