helping
Who should really be helping
themselves. i,
They've a face like an owl, with a
No. 10 groWl %''
If they're not getting on very we'll.
They want other people to raise them
Out of the industrial mire;
While capital scourges and flags
And they raise their voices still
higher.
Get out of the muck heap, you fel-
Get up and getsinto the fray;
Don't stand like an ass and let the
chance pass,
The union is pointing the way.
Get into the local you laggards;
You'll meet fellows there tried and

And you will be helping them, too:
The fellow that mopes in the corner
Is a long time seeing the light.
So quit corner cropping, get out in

The boys will be happy to meet YOU,
The boys will be ready to serve;
To give you a handshake and greet
you,
Which is really more than you
deserve. s,..
So join in, you non-union laggards,
And clear the Industrial air., -
For while you stay out the boys in,

Get up and get out of the hollow
And join with the boys In the fray;
There's definite road you must fol-

CLEMENCEAU FAILED.

America fbves France with a ro-
mantle attachment learnt, in. child
hood and rarely outgrown. The in
domitable war premier Of, France,
who with Americas help wrested vic
tory from impending defeat, heroic,
picturesque, patriotic, delightful,
visited the United States and is gone
again. Our press reported his long
land impassioned appeals on front
pages and often in full. Yet his visit
failed. Why
/. Because the American people
want peace in Europe and the policy
Of France is a continuance. Of the
war and offers no peaceful solution
at any future period. It ii vain at
Sempt to make unstable equilibrium
permanent by economic enslavement
maintained by a vast armed force.
How can 40,o0o,000 dominate ~60,-
O00, 700 forever except by a. constant
ly increasing force? We understand
France. Many sympathize: But we.
cannot support this policy. =. .,,..> g..
2. Because the American people
abhor the methods of narrow Euro
pean diplomacy with its trickery and
concealments and Clemenceau is
pleading for our participation in a
game where the man on our Main
street believes the dice are loaded
against US. We have good reason to
be suspicious Of European diplomacy.
The allies accepted our Fourteen
Points and then nullified them in
the interest Of previous secret trea-
ties which have so far made, a stable
peace impossible. .~f@ :
5. Because the American people
have traditionally avoided "entang-
ling" alliances and recent history
confirms the wisdom Of this course.
An alliance such as Clemenceau pro-
poses between France, England and
America would automatically unite
In counter-alliance Germany.; Rus
sia, Turkey and Japan and presun :
ably Italy too This way lies Var:"
We reject alliance. We abhor se-
cret diplomacy. We want world
peace. Is isolation to be our national
policy? Clearly not, for it is: imHos-
sible.. The world has suddenly be-
come too small to admit Of It. Z 4

FEDERAL COURTS WOULD OUT 1T STRIKES:
Q RULINGS REVERSE IMPORTANT DECISIONS

I: 8 III thu United states supreme
court sustainf "a decision by two
federal courts against our members
every strike thereafter will be an
interference with interstate COM
merce and employers can collect
damages" said w. E. Bryan, general
president Of the n United Leather
Workers International union. j:
"rhe federal. courts, from the su-
preme court down, have uniformly
held that manufacturing is not COM
merce,' said President Bryan. "None
Of these decisions were made in So
called labor: cases. The: decision
against the leather workers !: is a
Tabor case, and two federal courts
have reversed former decisions and
ruled that manufacturing is COM

IF sustained, the effect of these
decisions will be that workers must
be held to their. task, as any stop

1.-THE decisions are the result Of a
strike Of St. Louis leather workers.
Their organized. employers were
granted an injunction by Federal
District Judge Faris on the ground
that the strike made it impossible
for employers to fill their orders
and that the strike was, therefore.

level" and. trade unionists oppose
labor injunctions because they want
to violate law
When the subsidy pill is wrecked
on. senatorial rocks these hired in
tellects will again assume their anti
labor attitude and insist that 1.-The
rights Of the public are paramount"
The views Of these h.. o.:s, be it
known, will contain no reference to
the duties Of the public. ,r
Privilege must depend on a warp
ed public opinion. 1t can not sue
ceed when the public understand a
question. The hand of privilege is
never seen in this inflaming Of the
public mind. 1t is the business of the
barkers and hired inteNeoe to con-
fuse the people. This they do with
their sophistry, their decoy phrases
and deceptive terms. ~.<;.. J.. -.
Their methods are shown on the
trade union question. on the railroad
question, on immigration, on chlld
labor and every otheT ISSUE that
challenges exploitation and greed.
Their trickery and disregard for
facts is once again shown by their
claim that 9 ship subsidy u.s. identical

maintain their roads and improve
these inland waterways.

500 miles of the North Pole during
the war. He relates how the Eskimos
gathered from fifteen miles around
every morning, crowding the: little
schoolhouse> to learn the latest war
news Which he was receiving by
radio from the Eiffel Tower and
catching at times from Berlin.
The world is incomparably smaller
than the Thirteen Colonies were in
1888. The development of air traffic
will soon make it-into g. country viii
lage. Our important organizations
are international. Our commerce is
International. Our industries and
our labor are international. Science
and art and music are international
Comm ercialized vice is International.
Disease is International. Prosperity
is International. The lack Of it is in
ternational.
Our farmers are not going to
prosper, despite the booming Of the
press, until central Europe can pay
sound money for our crops. Real
poverty with threatening bankruptcy
is driving our millions who live by
agriculture to. the realization of this
Independence Of people which
other groups recognized before. At
the Farmers Washington Conference
last winter they voted for American
participation in a conference on Eu-
ropean Rehabilitation as soon as the
time is ripe and they recommended
that a farmer be one Of the Ameri-
can representatives.
No one with open eyes can mis-
read the hard lessons Of the. post
war years: IF one member suffer,
all the members suffer with it,"
Henceforth for better, for worse, the
world is the unit with which we
must reckon. Even prohibitiGn must
be world wide to be g. great national
success anywhere. Isolation has al
most overnight become as unreal
as a dinosaur.

A small, freckled : lad stood ex-
.pectantly beside the mahogany desk
in The Big Mans private office. He
had slipped by the secretary in the
outer office, his only credentials be-
ing his winning, sunny smile. And
now he waited. The Big Man seemed
busy-Ae kept: scratching away on
an imposing looking document, and
did not even glance in Sandy's dircc-
ton. Sandy's business was important
too, so he ventured nearer. please
buy some Christmas Seals" No an
swer. christmas Seals, sir. please
buy some Christmas Seals The busy
man turned in his chair and said
rather shortly, "Run" along son, can't
be bothered this morning. Who let
you in here anyway" 'Oh, I Just
came in to sell you some Christmas
Seals" smiled Sandy. How many
would you like?'' The Big Man got
a little impatient. "Is told you I
couldn't: be bothered son; now clear.
out!"' Sandy looked crestfallen and
tears welled up: in his blueAeyes. Then
he pulled himself together, took a
fresh grip. on his courage and said,
please; Mister; did you ever have q
toothache HesI guess i have. but.
what's that got to- do. with selling
Christmas Seals?'' Just let me tell
YOU, said Sandy. all excitement.
Here he shut his eyes and opened his
mouth and pointed proudly to a neat
ly filled tooth in: the back of his
mouth: That's the: :feller that ached
all night and kept me, home from
school for: days Look at it now"
Eyes," said the busy man. II see it,
but where do the: Christmas Seals

as he told his: story. You see. when

looked at all onr teeth and: when

her we didn't have any money but
she said, 'Oh, we can fix that all
right, Sandy And then she told us
there were about fifteen boys and
girls in our room who needed to have
their teeth fixed SO they would not
ache any more, and so we could grow
up to be strong and healthy. Did you
know, Mister, that bad teeth make
you sick? She said they do, and she
told US she would have nice, kind
dentist come out here and fix us all
up, and if we could not afford to pay
we could have it done just the same.
Then Oscar asked her, How can that
be, nurse?' So she told us that the
St. Louis County Public Health as
ISOLATION sells Christmas Seals every
year, and didn't we remember that
last year we kids bought a few<our-
selves; and we said we did. And then
she told us that q the money from
these Christmas Seals was used to
pay the dentist to come out and fix
our teeth so we could grow up to be
healthy boys and girls. She said they
do. a. lot. Of other things with the
money to help folks keep well, but
remember best about the dentist,
cause my tooth rached SO. And say,
Mister, don't you want to buy some
Seals ao,r;tf; 'some other: little boys
tooth aches and he hasn't any money
to get it fixed that they can dotit for
him ?" =

book and said with twinkle'in his
eye. "shail I make the check to. you,

SHIPS WITHOUT CARGOES.

The outstanding fact in the whole
ship subsidy bill controversy is that
the operation Of the merchant ma
rine under Mr.. Lasker has been a
failure. This would not be surprising
even In times OF prosperity so long
as thes head Of the shipping board
is an advertising expert or any other
person without training or experi-
ence in the shipping industry. Uni.
der existing conditions of world trade
reduced one-half since the Harding
administration came into power, and
to be still further reduced through
the operations ,ef the Fordney-Mc-
Cumber profiteers' tariff, the sue
cessful operation of the merchant
marine would seem to be impossible
even in the hands Of an expert. "a
The first Prerequisite of sue
cessful American merchant marine
is. cargoes-reciprocal world trade
to which this administration seems
to be giving no thought. Our ships
cannot carry great cargoes Of wheat
and other foodstuffs to Europe, be-
cause the people there cannot buy
and pay for them with anything ex-
cept their own products and manu-
factures.. Our ships cannot return
laden with the natural products and
manufactures'6f Europe. because the
Fordney-McC Cumber tariff will not
admit them on competitive basis.
In the meantime our ships are tied
up at their docks and piers and are
constantly deteriorating, and Lasker
and the administration apparently
can think Of nothing to do about
thenh except to give them away and
pay som ebody for taking them of
our hands; and keep on paying them.

tosnumerous supreme court decisions
that the making Of goods and the
mining Of coal are not commerce
and the production Of articles in
tended for interstate commerce is a
matter Of local regulation
+, I'm minority opinion, Judge
Stone declared that the actual, log
ical, and inevitable result Of the de-
cision will be that every strike in
every industry, or even in a single
factory, will be. within the Sherman
antitrust law and subject to federal
jurisdiction, provided any apprecia-
BILE amount Of its product enters into
interstate commerce.. ...-
The record is entirely barren of
even a suggestion that. there existed
here any actual intent to effect In
terstate commerce. said Judge Stone.
The sole purpose Of this strike was
to- benefit Rd strengthen the labor
unions here involved. -. .-....
"'Nor. is there a word of testi-
mony tending to show that the re-
spnodents. had any knowledge. Of or
cared anything about. whether the
business Of complainants was state
or interstate in. character. That con
sideration was unimportant to their
purpose ~ :+.. -,
Under. this decision" continued
President Bryan, there will be no
need for Industrial courts, or. anti
strike laws. In fact, the states will
lose jurisdiction over strikes, which
will pass to the control Of the fed
eral judiciary. These courts will pass
judgment on every strike and award
damages to any employer who can
not fulfill an order because of a
strike. The DECISIONS, il upheld, will
mean that the judiciary has openly
assumed the role of strikebreaker."
