brings home the bacon-that is, so
long as it oheys orders. The New
York dispatches say that the organi-

rector is to maintain the freedom of

rather an old joke Does it mean that
the roads are to be kept open only for
the propaganda of the open shop
movement? Goodness knows that this
idea is about all we read about to-
day, especially in the News. No
chance for anything against the
movement being said, although the
movement is already recognized as
being a dead issue. Even the big

ToBEY. THE oPEN-sHoPPER

Numerous persons, during the past
week, have called our attention to the
New York dispatches wherein it was
stated that w. L. Tobey is director
of the organization formed to fur
ther the open shop movement. So
far as Mr.. Tobey being interested and
a hearty advocate of the movement is
concerned, this is no news at all. He
has been in it from the start. Months
age, when the movement was first
launched, we told of Mr.. Tobey writ
ing to Texas, where the movement
was really born, for information on
the matter. Walter really means no
harm by his activity in the move
ment-he is only carrying out the
wishes and demands of those who are
really back of the Hamilton Daily
News. They demand some return for
their money, and this is the easiest
way fer Walter to give it. There are
a number of men in Hamilton who
strongly favor the open shop move
ment-men who know that the move
ment isn't fair to the workingman,
but they favor it for a selfish motive
but they haven't the nerve to come
out III the open for it and so they use
Mr.. Tobey as a cats-paw to do their
bidding. We believe at heart Mr.
Tobey is a good fellow and so are
those surrounding him in the force at
the News office, it is simply thei,
policy that is wrong, and-we believe
that they know it, but what are they
going to dot is the paper that

MOTHERS DAY

From England, the idea of setting
apart certain day for an outward
demonstration of the inward love OF
children to mothers, spread to Amer
lea. 1t was celebrated in Philadelphia
in 19O8.'
Congress, in 1914, recognizing the
merit and beauty of the custom, pass
ed Joint resolution designating the
second Sunday in May as Mothers
Day, and for other purposes.
Under it, the president is author
lied, and requested, to issue procla-
nation in remembrance of the day.
The United States flag is to be dis
played on all public buildings, and,
as a public expression of the love of
the people for the mothers of the
country, the people are also request
ed to display the flag at their homes.
Perhaps the Jewish saying put
compactly what a hundred words
could do no better:
God could not be everywhere and
therefore, he made mothers"
Not only does she bear the child
Her work is then but begun. 1t Is
hers to raise and guide, truly to care
| for in sickness and health to see il
bud and blossom into full growth
while she slowly but surely pines
away, the withered parent stem. Home
| is the center of life. Mother is the
center of the home No wonder q
| day has been set apart for her alone
The wonder is that nobody thought
Of it sooner But it is pretty OBJ
servance with charming features that
viii make it endure surely through
centuries.
Sunday is Mothers Day.

GRAIN RIOTS IN FIELD

Washington-Mil OF tons of

of all interests TO discuss present con
ditons, which, they declare, make it
impossible for scores of thousands of
children in the cities to be properly
fed. The farmers also declared that
they are "victiras of misused eco

short sighted and selfish interests. y

1t was stated that the portion re-
ceived back by the farmer and the
laborer for their efforts, together
with heavy freight rates, waste and
extravaganza in railway management,
gambling IN food and clothing, and
manipulation of credits by men "who
toll not, neither do they spin," were
responsible for the high cost of liv-
ing. 1t was also stated that the fed

GARYISM is MODERN NAME
FOR SLAVERY AND
FEUDALISM

The offer of steel and trust stock
holders to forego profits in Judge
Gary's - and their - fight against
trade unionism is another case of his
tory repeating. What is known as
Garyism was called feudalism in the
Middle Ages and slavery in other
periods The only difference is that
Garyism would hide itself within
freedoms cloak while the feudalist
and slave holder were frankly auto
cratic-they boldly announced that
they were superior to the men and
women of toll. Stripped Of sham and
cant, Garyism is in control of the
many by the few, and the determina-
tion of that few to hold the power.
Steel stockholders are running true
to form" with their song that is as
old as first mans effort to be free.
Every trade unionist has heard this
song, which is always forgotten when
a 100 per cent trade union appears on
the scene.
The steel autocrat knows, as did
the feudal baron and slave holder, that
wage earners become conscious Of
themselves when they unite. Then
and not until then-do they sense
what liberty means. Then the auto
crat loses his power. His dominion
ever men ends. He must adjust him
self to new conditions, but he will
not accept these conditions until he
is compelled to.
1t is amusing to read of these feu-
dial imitators gravely announcing that
they are willing to surrender profits
to stop steel unionization. These
stockholders and their spokesman
will travel the road of every man
who would control the lives of others
History records the end that be
falls autocracy in every form. These
stockholders may forego profts-but
only until they see that Garyism is
being swept aside by the solid lines
of steel workers. Then history will
again repeat, and the stockholders
will accept the new order, and hap

AID TO HOME BUILDERS

GRAFTON of Labor petitioned congress
to amend the farm loan act to enable
workers to secure cheap money to
build homes. The unionists declared
for the eight-hour day on public work,
and opposition was expressed to an
appointive judiciary, as favored by
some delegates to the state constitu-
tional convention. "We believe the
people of this state are capable Of
electing ali public officials" the union
lists said.

WOMEN ON RAILROADS

nearly 10000 more than in 1918, ac-

Most of the women swere engaged
in clerical and semiclerical positions
but 1853 were doing shop work.
The commission says it is "inter-

service, the average number of wo-

berS in Tennessee

Memphis, Tenn.-School teachers
in this city are organized, which ac-

The modern teacher was shown in
action at the meeting of the West
Tennessee Teachers Association,
which is the usual combination of
county superintendent and other
office holders, who permit teachers to
be present and act as stage scenery
at their annual confabs This has
been the rule, but at the last confer
ence the union teachers abandoned
their "yes-yes" policy to the dismay
of the rulers"
The teachers smashed the slate for
officers and elected as president DR..
Austin P. Finley, one of the strongest
men in the faculty of the West Ten
nessee normal school,
The teachers also put up a stiff
fight against resolution passed last
year in which affiliation with the
| trade union movement was condemn
ed. The resolution was rescinded, but
not before the biggest kind of a row
was staged
One of the teachers writes: "If you
have never witnessed an event of this
sort or have never seen a group of
higher ups explode when mere pri
Yates take the floor, just try it some
time in your own state convention
The scene can better be imagined than

"Charles M. Schwab says the Ger

in England at twenty dollars, which is
cheaper than England can make it,
and is sending pneumatic tools to De-

cry to Germany, sold it cheaper than
she could make it.
"Mr. Schwab says, Germany is
ahead of all Europe in production,
he concludes that labor can be paid
only what labor earns Very true,
but that isn't the whole story. 1t is
true that IN Germany labor is really
working hard. 1t is also true that in
Germany profteers are put in Jail

triots."

Kansas and can't-strike law fame, Mr.

Governor Allen again attacks the
closed shop, by which he means the

un-American principle of putting as
little as possible into life, and taking
as much as possible out of life, says
