American industries and American
business generally are beginning to
speed up" and the more optimistic,
board of the United States Steel cor
poration. declares there is nothing I'M
favorable to prosperity on the horizon.
Prices of many commodities, including
some lines of building materials, are
coming down steadily, and In many
plants wages are being reduced. In
some instances the reduction being
made by the employers and accepted
by the men and In others being sug-
gested by the workers themselves in
order that the plants may be enabled
to continue in operation.
All this Is quite satisfactory to the
ordinary citizen, but these is one dark
cloud. despite the assertions of the OPP
timists. This Is the coming fight be-
tween organized labor and capital over
the open shop. There are many signs
that the issue will be joined soon. Last
Wednesday the representatives Of
twenty-five state manufacturers asso-

adopted resolutions pledging support
for the open shop movement. In the
discussion many speakers declared
! they would not employ union labor in
their factories and mills, but when the
vote was taken il was made clear that
the resolution did not propose any dis
| elimination against the holder OF a
union card. In substance the resolti-
| ton was:
1T is recognized as fundamental in
this country that all law-abiding citi-
zens or residents have the right Ia
| work when they please, for whom they
please. and on whatever terms are mu-
tually agreed upon between employee
and employer and without interference
or discrimination upon the part of
others
Eve hereby express our purpose TO

of American plan of employment by
the maintenance of the open shop.
''We urge upon our members 20 Sc
cure by discussion and education the
active support of workers, merchants,

other elements of their prospective
communities in favor of American
ideals and the open shop"

RO0SEVELT'S BIRTHDAY.

The birthday of Theodore Roosevelt
Is observed by boy scouts throughout
the country at the instigation OF
the national council who feel
that the late Colonel specifically
represented perhaps better than any
American Of recent years those quail
ties Of sturdy manhood, clean, high
visioned, loyal, virile, which they like
to emphasize and keep before scouts
as O living ideal. There was partlcu'
larly close relation between RooseVeit
and boy scouts inasmuch as he was
vitally interested In the movement ana
was at the time of his death said to
have been considering becoming
national leader of the organization In
which he was already an honorary
vice-president and held the title OF
chief scout citizen.
Last year, under the leadership OF
National Scout Commissioner Beard.
boy scouts of New York and vicinity
made a memorial pilgrimage TO
Roosevelt's grave, an event repeated
this year on an even larger scale. In
other parts of the country the celebra-
ton took the form Of tree planting,
mass patriotic meetings, father and son
banquets, ETC., all devoted to the pur-
pose Of keeping alive the memory OF
the great American who played SO
big a part In our national life and
whose spirit still "goes marching on"
among US.
