by the Canadian Brotherhood of Railroad Employes in the case against the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada for suspensoin. It would give power to the courts to dissolve trade unions for the supposed infractions of the purposes for which they were incorporated and in every way would serve as a deterrant to their growth and useful development.
 For the benefit of those who do not understand labor's rather chilly aloofness toward the law and judges, let me point out some of the reasons:
 "The employer is held responsible for the acts of his agent only when the agent is acting within the scope of his authority. The union has, for one. reason or other, been mulcted in damages for absolutely unauthorized acts of members, even where those acts have been committed without the knowledge or consent Of the union.
 "Organized employers who con- spired together to drive a competitor into the ground-to ruin him-and have succeeded, were held within the law. Unoin members agreeing to- gether flor even less drastic objects, have been enjoined and punished in damages by the same courts.
 "The courts have frequently driven through acts of parliament to help the employer and to find a way to give judgment against the men.
 The courts have granted injunc tions so wide in their terms as to leave it questionable whether the men could breathe without violating the injunction.
 "It is the benefciaries of the above system who urge unions to place their confidence in the law"

1 factory examination; that he had
 acted without giving sufficient thought
 to what the holders had requested. He was willing to place all the 1 strikers back to work except the chairman. Against him he seemed to have a bitter prejudice. Not only l was there the German name, and the thought that the man might be dis loyal to his country, but in addition, while looking out of his office window, he had seen him get the best of a professional strike breaker in a fist fight. His self-respect and his Amer ican belief in law and order, he said, would prevent him from ever allow ing this man to enter the plant again,
 for should he re-employ him 1t would
 be accepted as evidence by the other
 employees that fist fights on their
 part would be condoned.
 What the strike leader had done in thrashing the strike breaker had been
 fully justified. In addition he was
 fine type of intelligent American workman, and we desired to see him reinstated in his former position. He had already signihed his willingness to eliminate himself from the city ii necessary ,and was opposed to being made an issue of; for his greatest in terest had been the strikers welfare rather than his own. But there were good reasons why 1t was advisable to have him relnStated II this was pos sible.
 Discussing the matter with the ex- mayor after he had expressed his ultl- matum, we said that in our opinion his position was unsound because in all probability this man was the most valuable molder in the foundry. He was possessed of courage, of decision, of ability to handle himself in crisis, and the only objection which the foundryman had to him was the fact that these qualifications had been manifested during a strike against a high priced strike breaker, who had been discomforted before his eyes in front of his office window.
 We suggested that the wise en- ployer was the one who, studying the qualifications possessed by those in his employ, developed these to the best advantage. The man had shown much ability as leader of men dur ing the strike. That same quality would manifest itself if he was en- ployed in the foundry. We made no request upon the mayor when leav- ing, but instead left the seeds tor further thought on his part.
 Some two weeks later we were in formed that our member had been re- employed in the foundry, and when we visited the city month later to call upon the foundryman we found, to our surprise, that he had been made the foreman because of the qualities of leadership, and the eN ecutive and administrative ability which he possessed. He has been the foreman since that time, and his serv- ices have given satisfaction, not only to his employer, but to the members of our union.
 This was an instance where the psychology of the situation, as much as the merits of the case, determined the issue in an employers mind.

INCORPORATION OF
 UNIONS WOULD AID
 LABOR'S OPPONENTS
Officer of Canada Labor Congress Points Out Falsity of
 Claims.

Business institutions do not in corporate to increase their responsi bility or liabiliteis, but always for the purpose of limiting the same," says P. M. Draper, secretary-treasurer of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada, writing in Canadian Congress Journal against the incorporation of trade unions.
 "The ground always urged is that unions should be incorporated and become amenable to the law just like an employer, partnership or any corporate body is.'
 "The short and simple answer is that trade unions, whether incorpor- ated or unincorporated, are and al ways have been subject to&he law, with no privileges that an employer, a partnership or a corporate body Have, but with many disabilities that these have not.
 Incorporation of trade unions would restrict their activiteis to such as the courts decided to be good for them, and would place with the courts the power to interpret their constltu- tions and would further establish a property right for each suspended member, as was recently attempted

No trades union official can meet employers, as representative ot h1s organization, without soon discover ing that human nature plays as i'm portant a part in adjusting industrial disputes as the facts and equities 1T the case.
 For obvious reasons the names oi the chief actors in the following mar rative cannot be given, neitheBsis if advisable to name the city, which was one of the prominent industrial cen ters of the South. The chief person age was a foundryman. In addition to his other business enterprises, and his high social position, he had, but a short time previous, been mayor ot the city.
 The incident to which reference IS being made occurred in the summer of 1917, when mems minds were tre- mendously influenced by our coun- try's entry into the war.
 Having failed to give that close at tention to conditions in his foundry which he should have done, this foundryman had not paid wage rate equal to that being paid by the other foundrymen in the city and district. His aristocratic and rather autocratic disposition was seriously ruff1ed when a committee of holders interviewed him in connection with their desire for~an advance.
 He acted first, and thought after wards, his action being a very definite refusal, coupled with a lecture on their disloyalty in interfering with his foundry at a time when the Nation was at war, and they were working on war contracts.
 The strike was actively conducted. The chairman of the strike commit tee, who had pronounced German name, though of the third generation of Americans, was a man of initiative, resourcefulness and action, who, while passing by the foundry one day, was accosted by a professional strike breaker. This individual after say ing something insulting, had aimed a blow at the strike chairman's head. The result was a very brief though er fective fist fight, which resulted in the strike breaker going to the hospital.
 To the foundryman it seemed as though the strike was partly Ger man plot because of the strike chair mans name, and the fact that the foundry was making castings for the Government He appealed to the Federal authorities, and an early hearing was set by the Federal Com missioner We attended the hearing because apparently the strike situa- ton was entering into a very serious phase.
 As a result of few words with our attorney we were introduced to the foundryman, whom we had never met before, and suggested having a talk with him over the situation, inform ing him that we had heard our mem bers' side, but were unprepared to reach any conclusion until we had listened to what he might have to say.
 The result of this interview was a satisfactory settlement of the strike. The foundryman' realized that his or iginal position would not stand satis-

CANADA BRINGS IN
 HOLLAND LABORERS
Guarantee Them Years Work at
 Good Wages and Prospects.

Regina, Sask., June 2-Farm labor CTS are being brought into Saskatche- wan from Holland. Hundreds of few weeks. Each will be given guar antee of a years work at good wages. At the end of the year most of them are expected to settle on farms of their own.
 Saskatchewan has had farm labor shortage. During the last year vast acreage of new land along the trans continental lines of the Canadian National Railways has gone under the blow with the influx of settlers. This had resulted in the need of additional farm help.
 The decision to import men from Holland is in line with the general immigration plan. Arrangements to bring over the continents are made by the provincial government in CO., operation with the federal department of immigration. The men are not picked up promiscuously, but are carefully examined as to their qualih- cations. Only those who are fitted for agricultural pursuits and who would make a high type of citizen are selected
 Agrarians who want the Holland workers and who will assume pro- per responsibility in connection with their futures are provided with com prehensive application forms by the Saskatchewan Bureau of Labor and Industries.

Enforce 8-Hr. Law Pc Clerks Demand
National Secretary Points Out How
 It Will Benefit Industry.

Washington, June 2.-As the din and chatter subsidies over the visit to the White House of sleek magnates who discussed the I2-hour day with the President, postoflce clerks sug- gest that the government first en- force its eight-hour law.
 Secretary-Treasurer Flaherty of the National Federation of Post office Clerks Is endeavoring to en- list the Presidents sympathy in se- curing a proper observance of the postal eight-hour day. Thousands of clerks in the larger postofices are working Io-hour tours daily
 We want to strengthen the Presi- dents position in his commendable effort to secure shorter workday for employees in the steel industry" said Secretary Flaherty. Tt Is obvious that the government must apply this principle in its largest civil establish ment before 1t can consistently urge its adoption by the steel manufactur- CTS.
 The postoffice department claims to be without authority to correct the situation, due to lack of appropria- tions. It Is my view, however, that the eight-hour day could be restored to the postoffice clerks without any cost to the government. The present excessive overtime required of the clerks is costly in money and destruc- tive of service morale The clerks would handle more mail on an eight hour basis than on the present TO- hour schedules"

conveniences and luxuries to the peo- pie, particularly of the United States. Of course three is some export in this, but we must not forget that of manufactured products we export not over 6@o, that even in agriculture, all things considered, our export IS but about 1o%o of our production.
 Prosperity here means the mainte- nance of the purchasing power of our own people; and let us not forget that this purchasing power of our. own people means, more than any one thing, saving wage for the workers.
 The stability of our institutions, our social and political structure de- bends more upon the maintenance of our power to absorb the products of our toll, and this means a wage which permits the people to buy the things our workers made. The ghost that worries our dreams of civilization and of government today is unemp1oy- ment.

Meriden, June 2-Conhscating a "stock" that even in the old days would have made the most bibulous weep tears of joy, Federal agents this week swooped down on the drug store of Victor w. Schneider on East Main street and after carting his goods off to Hartford asked for a warrant for his arrest from U. s. Commissioner Lynch in New Haven. Schmelzers stock was certainly a fine It follows: Three cases of genuine Wiltshire gin, five cases of "Gordon gin", six partly filled quart bottles of sherry wine, one barrel nearly full of gin and another of alcohol; six two quart jugs of whiskey and 20 kegs partly filled with port wine.

Morse asking for the "balance due" of $25,ooo for himself and Daugherty.
 So they are having a great lime in the Senate.
 It looks as though somebody will have to prosecute the war grafters.
 Daugherty says that this whole stir is a scheme to pro- tect the grating Democrats.
 Why protect them? Why not put them in jail where they belong? If there were grating Republicans put them in jail, too. Put every crooked scoun- drel who made money out of the war in jail. Why wait? If Daugherty means business let him act. If he does not mean business the people will act.
 The war ended in 1918. No grafter has yet gone to jail. If the scandal which now hovers over Washington will get action from Re Morse-ful Daughter ty" perhaps some of the graft CTS will fill the cells now odcu- pied by political prisoners.

 International Labor News Service RE-MORSE-FUL DAUGHERTY

It's warmth up in Washing ton. It's getting hot in the Senate!
 , Some few weeks ago Senator Caraway of Arkansis happened to mention that Attorney Gen eral Daugherty and Thomas B. Fielder had been promised a fee of $25,ooo for getting Charles F. Morse out of jail.
 Morse was sentenced to I5- year term in the penitentiary in 1908 for making false entries in the books of the National Bank of America. He was pardoned by President Taft. Daugherty had assured the President that Morse was dying. Morse is alive today
 Just as soon as Caraway made his statement about the Attorney General, Watson of Indiana, hard-boiled member of the old guard, asserted that he knew that Daugherty "did not get any fee for getting Morse out of the penitentiary."
 Then a young and enterprise ing newspaper of Washington printed a letter from Fielder to

 oldest of our
 S91S~ states. While 1t is the last of the states to be admitted to the Union and as such dates its existence only
 from 1910, it's history before the advent of white men dates back into the dim past. Here were located those interesting people, the Cliff Dwellers, and the ruins of their cities high up in inac- cessible places have caused much speculation as to these ancient people. It is supposed that these Cliff Dwellers were the ances- tors of the Pueblo Indians and were decidedly more advanced in civilization than their neigh bors. They were probably of the same race as the Aztecs of Mexico and understood irriga- tion, agriculture and the build ing arts.
 It was rumors of the great Pueblos that instigated the first visit of the white men. Padre Nizan in 1539 explored this ter ritory and he was followed by Coronado in search of the myth ical wealth of the Indian cities. Coronado, though failing to find the reputed gold, did discover the Grand Canon of the Colo rado with it's wonderful scenic beauty, which has become one of the great assets of the state. This region was considered part of Spanish territory and when Mexico declared its inde- pendence it became a Mexican province. After the Mexican war the section north of the Gila river was ceded to the United States and the southern portion was acquired through the Gads- den Purchase in 1853. In 1863 Arizona was separated from New Mexico and made a terri tory. The derivation of the name Arizona is uncertain, but it pos sibly came from the Spanish, meaning "dry belt" co by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
