AND DO PART BY BECOMING
SELF-SUSTAINING.

Chicago, April 2I.--Experts in char
lty contend that the giving of aims
never reduces the number Of paupers,
but on the contrary increases them
President Walter Dill Scott. of North
western University says in circular,
just published by the school.
individual members Of our faculty
have contributed largely TO reducing
the poverty and in increasing the pros
perlty throughout an entire industry.
Some ten years ago one member of our
faculty became interested I'm labor con-
ditions in an industry that had been
Infamous for its sweatshops and its
abuse and oppression Of labor. In that
industry poverty reigned in the homes
and bread-lnes were u regular occur
renee. This professor cooperated in
producing the standards of the indus
try, in lifting the burden Of poverty
from hundreds OF thousands OF mcr
and women, and in making the industry
efficient and profitable"
President Scott added that there
were about 255 disabled ex-soldiers al
the university today. I'm the ordinary
treatment OF disabled men," he sale
I'VE might expect many OF them to de-
velop into paupers and become objects
of charity. These 255 men are today
in training and probably every mar
will leave the university as a self sup
porting man and will become u usefu
citizen in his community.
"The appeal now being made in the
name Of relief for the hungry is more
lnsistent and more impelling than ever
before, and | trust that all of us have
responded most generously" he said
but because of this unusual postwar
condition, we are likely to eXaggerat'
the Importance Of the mere giving oi
aims"
President Scott then told Of how ;
walking delegate" became president q
company.
He was radical and a disturbel
and believed that society owed him 4
living" President Scott said. HE wa
a member of the Cigar Makers Union
and after his election as a 'wallans
delegate entered one OF the night class
es in our school OF commerce to mak'
himself more effective as i labor lead
er.
in that class he got a new con
ception of the relation Of capital u
labor. His interest increased, and h
was graduated In a diploma course o
the school.
To-day he is the president Of 4 com
pany and an employer OF labor.
"He is u progressive but not radi
cal. Instead Of increasing the suffer
ing produced by the calling OF strike
and the throwing Of men out OF EN-
ployment, he is today successful busi
ness man, adding TO the prosperity o
the community in which he lives. He !
doing much to inculcate good will be
tween capital and labor, and thus I
make possible a harmonious, effeetiv
and prosperous community"

RAILROAD BOARD
RULES ADVERSELY
TO RECEIVERS, But
POWERLESS TO ACT
ADMITS INABILITY TO ENFORCE
DECISION AND ASKS STRIKERS
TO AGAIN CONFER WITH THE
ROAD MANAGEMENT

Chicago, April 21,-The railroad labor
board in decision today ruled that the
receivers for the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad to reduce wages
of its employees, in compliance with de-
cision of Federal Judge S. H. Sbley, had
acted in violation of the spirit and le.-
ter of the transportation act.
The board declared that ii was power
less to take action in the cast at pres
ent, and suggested that the employees,
most of whom are now on strike, again
hold conferences with the owners ana
If any agreement is not reached bring
the case back to the labor board.
THE duty 10 obey decision Of this
board is not any less an obligation on
the receivers Of a road than on the own
ers of a road" the decision said.
The Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tictic case brought the first clash be.
tween the labor board and q federal
court and was the first tangle which the
board was called upon 10 unravel.
last January. when the road, after post
ing notices of wage reductions, pleade 4
that it was losing 800 900 monthly. The
board ordered the reduction notices
withdrawn and told the employers 10
confer with their workers in accordance
with the transportation act.
When the case again came up it was
brought out that the road did not con-
test the justness of the wages set by
the board. but pleaded only inability t7
pay. The beard ruled that the financial
condition Of the road was not a mat
ter for it to act upon.
Subsequently the road went into the
hands of Il receiver and Judge Sibley
authorized the wage reductions. \ strike
then was called on the line.
The decision today said that the board
| believed that misunderstanding and
the eXigencies Of the case had caused
| the federal court to authorize the re-
Guction instead OF sending the cas-,
back TO the labor board.
The decision took the position that tn,
receiver was stlll under the board's
jurisdiction and his act in reducinl
wages. even by authority of the court
constituted violation OF the transporta
! tion act.
The board requested the court, how
ever, having taken jurisdiction. to direct
the receiver to confer with the former
employees upon the question Of just ant
reasonable wages and In case OF dis.
agreement. 10 refer the case to the Ia
| Dor board.

them to repay the debt in service
and better citizenship. He read from
the thirty-first chapter of Deuteron-
imy, BE strong and of good cour-
age; fear not, neither be dismayed;"'
and spoke in part as follows:
II Idaho has completed her stay in
the desert and like the Children of
Isreal is stepping into the promised
land Yet the people who have
Il brought it so far in development and
! progress, will, like Moses, step aside
and others will, must carry on the
work At present there are about
1900 graduates each year in the
state. These graduates must become
the leaders of the coming generation.
| Recently attention has been called
to the work of acknowledged experts,
In the American army in the recent
war examination was made, and
found that Is per cent of the soldiers
| ranked in A and B rank of natural
intelligence. The same examination
was made of college freshmen and
rs per cent of them ranked in A and
B intelligence. About 1879 of every
1000 children get thru high school.
One person in six has the quality
of leadership
High schools and colleges hold the
potential leadership of the nation.
1t is our duty to see that these pO-
tential leaders get all the training
possible. The plane of intelligence
is far higher today than it used to
be. All honor to the self-made man;
but in the coming generations a man
will need great deal of making.
One must consecrate ones self and
get a realization of the task that
lies before him. Today it is not the
fashion to consecrate anything, to
reverence anything.
The tendency is to affect and sort
of scorn the labor and work, to be-
little studying, digging and plod-.
ding. The essential point is to get
"the vision" Many often are blind
to the vision of business, To
prepare for any business is desper-
ately hard. The will to do. How
little it takes to keep some busy. The
necessity is to throw ones self into
the work, any work. The leaders |
in the social and political turmoil Of |
today and Of tomorrow in our nation
must put ones self in ones work.
The ability to get along with people |
is very necessary What we need |
is the old fashioned loyalty. The
reverence, the willingness to play
the game Of life on highest ideals.
Probably the schools and colleges
hold the key to this loyalty. Loyal |
to tradition, to school, to team, to
all that co-operates and deveIopes
human nature and destroys selfish
ness. A generation is to be made,
a promised land is to be won. It is
up to the older generation to see
them properly trained, equipped for
the battle Of life. It is up to them
to give themselves, furnish the will
ingness to do. to work. To give the
stuff, the brain. the vision, the will
be loyal. We realize that
a new generation lies before us to
carry US into the promised land.
