Socialism and The Open Shop
Socialists taking up cause of closed Shop.
Attitude consistent with Socialist and Boil
sheUist doctrines.

Some writers and speakers who pose as social
s are taking up the losing battlefor the closed shop.
There are two reasons for this
This first reason is the need for new slogan.
The experiments thus far made In applying socialist
ideas have been so disastrous, that the socialist lead
ers are hard up for an issue which will hold any con-
siderable number Of followers.
The most recent failure in the United States is
the North Dakota experiment under the gulse, or
rather disguise of the Non-partisan league This
league is led by some socialists who thought that
State socialism would solve the farmers problems; and
by some other socialists who are in the movement
for what they can get out Of it for themselves.
The Non-parisan league is rapidly breaking up
and North Dakota faces serious financial difficulties,
over s. of her banks having already closed their
doors
Another socialist failure is the Russian Bolshe-
visit experiment John Spargo leading socialist made
trip to Russia to study the results obtained by the
Russian Soviet Federated Socialists Republic. He
hoped to find that the Russians had been able to do
something to solve the labor problem but he found
only disaster bankruptcy and an auocracy worse than
that Of the Cars He came back to America and wrote
hook on Russia called The Greatest Failure in History
And now we learn that the German Socialists while

Socialism adopted by the Kaiser has been thrown into the
dump heap like SO much junk.
These are good reasons, the very best why think
ing Socialist are putting the soft pedal on all real Social
list talk and why they are looking for new issue.
They are therefore posing as friends Of labor and
taking up the movmen for the closed shop thinking they
get some standing.
As usual they fail to see that the closed shop is dead
and gone in America just as Socialism is dead issue.
The closed shop like Socialism, is not PRACTICAL it is not
in harmony with human nature it is against the whole
spirit Of America.
But those socialists who are honest in their convict
IONS and are not merely office seekers or grafers are
perfectly logical in standing for the closed shop.
For Socialism, il IN control would mean one big
closed shop with one boss backed up by an army who
would tell each man where he had to work. what hours

Mercantile Marine Manager
Says No Change Has Been
Contemplated.
PRICES REMAIN

A reduction of $50 in first class min
irnum fares has been put into effect by
the Nippon Yusen Kaisha on its vessels
in the Ssattle-Far Eastern service. At
S270, the minimum fare is below the
minimum of $500 established by the
other lines operating in this service. The
Canadian Pacific Ocean Services. the
Togo Kisen Kaisha. the Admiral Line
and the Pacific Mail Line have al main
tained rates. as agreed upon in confer
ence..
This reduction below the minimum
was the occasion for a meeting OF iep-
resentatives OF the conference lines in
Chicago. The contention was made by
delegates from the Nippon Yusen Kaisha
that their rates did not mean an actual
cut below the conference rate as the ac-
commodations which took the s2T0 rate
We're less desirable than the minimum
rate rooms on ships of the other lines.
The matter was satisfactorily adjusted.
according to New York passenger agents

yesterday by Il. IL. Farley, assistant
passenger manager for the international
Mercantile Marine Company. No cnange
had been contemplated, he said, in the
plans of the transatlantic lines to rein
troduce last summers rates in April or
next year. The summer schedule is 10
per cent higher than the winter.
"Tle highest priced accommodations
on our best shins continue to lie filled
first. and it is difficult TO book the min
imum fare accommodations even on the
Olympic" Mr.. Farley declared. "fhis
would seem to indicate that there is no
considerable demand for lower first class
yates. The need for cheaper fares seems
