MINISTER'S.

The province Of the minister is
to speak words of comfort and en-
couragement and to seek to raise
men to better thinking and 70 bet
ter living. A minister should use
care liz referring to things outside
of his calling. When | was in my
teens minister wishing to show
the two opposing forces-good and
evil-used as his illustration the
steam engine, and said the engine
struggled 70 run away and the gov
ernor struggled to hold it back.
ANY apprentice boy in the factory
in which then worked could have
told him that the office of the gov
ernor was to regulate the flow OF
steam. could not listen to that
minister after that with any degree
Of satisfaction.
Some ministers proclaim that they
believe in the closed shop. Do these
ministers mean by the closed shop
that a man should not be permitted
TO pursue his lawful, chosen voca-
ton because he has failed to join
an organization? IL they do they
should come out man fashion and
saw so. The truth is they do not
know what they mean, and because
they do not know what they are
talking about they are held in con-
tempt by those who know the facts.

THE INDUSTRIES

nor whether there will be a strike
in his own factory. nor whether
strikes will prevent him from ship
ping his goods when completed,
keeping him from receiving the
money needed, because most or all
Of his money has been spent for
wages and materials in producing
the goods he cannot ship. So the
strikes go on, till no one can esti-
mate on work or carry on his busi-
ness with any degree of confidence.
Thus hampered and hindered, and
having the orderly course of his
business constantly interfered with
he loses heart and does not know
what to do; so the business of our
country languishes, and when the
country has been brought to the
wretched industrial condition it is
in to-day, the heads of the strike
organizations hibernate, waiting for
the sunshine of prosperity to spread
over the land to start in with their
strikes again.
1t has been said that the man wEo
makes two blades of grass grow
where one grew before is a bene-
factor, but the heads of the strike
organizations do not make two
blades of grass grow where one
grew before; they tear up the one
that is growing.

NEWSPAPERS.

I suppose | ought to reprove the
editors Of the newspapers for the
part they have played in bringing
on the industrial problem.
The editors have aided in the in
dustrial depression by overworking
the word "labor." / suppose, with
the unwritten dialect of the Head
Hunters or other savage tribes, it
is necessary to use a word in
multiplicity of ways; but that is
not so with our language with its
hundreds of thousands of words.
The word labor" should be used
solely for work performed. for
something done; and there is no ex-
cuse for using the word Labor"
when workingmen or organizations
are meant.
How the editors can disfigure the
pages of their papers with such verbal
rubbish as Labor" Turns the Table.
Labor" Unions, Labor" Conference.
Organized Labor" Labor" Disputes.
Labor" Boycott, Labor" Interests.
Labor Federation. Labor" Gains Its
Demands. Labor" Leader. Labor
/ Against immigration. Labor Repre-
sentative, Labor Meetings, Labor
Aims and the Rights of Labor Is
beyond my comprehension. / believe
Charles A. Dana and William Cullen
Bryant had in their editorial rooms
list Of words that were not 10 be
used in their newspapers. II would
be well If there was placed in every
newspaper room I'm the country mo-
tice that the word capital" must be
used only when money invested In
business is meant, and must not be
used for the employer; and that the
word 'labor" must be used only when
work performed or something cone
is meant. Only in connection with
the industries do we find the misuse
of these two words. If man asks a
nelghbOr about n farmer the neighbor
does not say. Capital and labor have
gone into the hay field but says.
"The farmer and the workmen nave
gone into the field" There i no
excuse for the misuse Of the words
capital" and Tabor" in connection
with the Industries.

come TO Il prosperity that would be q
blessing to our people and an inspira
tion 10 the people Of other lands. All
that is needed 10 bring about this re
suit is 10 have the officeholders keep
their hands off the industries TO have
men absolutely free to refrain from
joining an organization II they are
so inclined: 10 have those who know

How can these results be achieved
How can the people bring Industrial
peace? How can they prevent the

can accomplish more through an or
ganization than as individuals but

Hey. mister Hey Come back and
get your change !" she called.
But Mr.. Rockefeller merely lifted his
hat and said Keep it, please Whereat
the little cashier was quite speechless
until some one explained 70 her who the
reckless snender was and the reason for
his seeming recklessness.

party included Herbert Hoover william

Mr.. Hoover spoke briefly, thanking the

ALONZO B. SEE

There came to my office a pam
phlet edited by a college professor,
in which ne claimed that we would
have industrial peace if the en-
ployer would only confer with the
workmen. This he called "collec-
tive bargaining. Surrounded py
his books. how far from the world
he must have been.
A young man had some money lett
him by his father and decided to put
up a building. With a loan he had
enough to finish it. Two trades fell
to quarrelling as to which should
do some part of the work and the
workmen walked out of the building
and stayed out for months. Taxes
and interest went on, the renting
season passed by, and this young
man lost all he had.
A man who had been in business
many years started to erect large
building. He set aside enough
moneyfor normal contingencies. The
men quarrelled over some part of
the work. He begged them to settle
the dispute between themselves and
they would not, and four hundred
men walked out. Month after month
they stayed out till the winter
storms came, causing great injury
to the work that had been done, car
rying him beyond the renting sea-
son. The worry and the loss broke
this mans health, and he was only
barely able to save himself from the
entire loss of his building.
Time and time again the owner of
business has been telegraphed or
telephoned by the manager that his
men were on strike. The owner has
asked what the strike was about
and the manager has answered he
did not know, as the men had given
no reason for going out. Time and
time again the employer has carried
the workmen through the winters
season, or over dull times, at a loss;
then when his shop had become busy
and he had hoped to make good hid
losses some outsider has come along
and said, Now is the time to strike
and pinch the boss. You have him
in hole"

! about the farmer, called "The
Man with the Hoe" which run as
! follows:
Bowed by the weight of centuries, he
leans
Upon his hoe and gazes on the ground.

And on his back the burden of the
world.
! Who made him dead TO rapture and
despair.
A thing that grieyes not and that never
hopes.
Stolid and stunned. a brother to the OK =?
Who loosened and let down his brutal
jaw?
The life Of the farm has led to
fine development of the farmers
boy, and hosts of them have risen
to places of prominence. "Who
loosened and let down his brutal
! jaw" What nonsense! Yet sueh
words as these are unsettling the
minds of the unthinking.
All college professors are social
lists. A newspaper asked, "What
is the use of spending money and
sending a boy to college to become
Socialist when he can remain at

HIPERNATING.

recently saw a picture of a
woodchuck as he lay dormant in his
winter abode-the snow and earth
having been removed. AS we pass
through the country we know that
under the snow in many places the
woodchucks are quietly lying, but
that when the warm days return
they will frisk about again.
So it is with the heads of the
strike organizations. When the chill
of industrial blight is on the coun-
try they keep quiet, but when the
sunshine Of prosperity is in the land
they go forth to order strikes in
town after town, in city after city,
in one industry after another. till
no man can conduct his business

does not know but that the material
he needs will be held up by strikes,

He has warned me not TO say anything

COLLEGE PROFESSORS.

A college professor wrote book
in which he said that machinery
had not benefited the workingmen.
If il had not been for machinery it
would be necessary for men TO
work fourteen to sixteen hours a
day, and they could then produce
only rag carpets and the rudest fur
niture. and the coarsest clothing,
and men would be compelled to go
from house to house, as formerly,
making shoes for the family, that
must last throughout the year. The
introduction of machinery has bene-
fited the workingmen by giving
them shorter hours and better
things: but hours shortened by
Welding to the arbitrary demands

ing Of economic conditions results
