ALLIED PRINTING
TRADES
Opposed to Compromise
With Book CenSOrs

New York.-Peter ]. Brady and
| associate members of the Allied
| Printing Trades Council are opposed
to conference or compromise with
John S. Sumner, of the society for
the suppression of vice, who recently
declared for censorship of books.
Summers proposal raised storm of
opposition, and now he favors con-
ferences to establish a "moral CEN
sor." On behalf Of workers in the
printing trades, Mr.. Brady says that
a moral censorship can easily and
gradually extend itself into an eco
nomic and political censorship.
"Mr. Sumner and his associates,
whether Willingly or not, are playing
the game of the large captains of
industry, such as announced by the
Rockefeller Foundation in its 'Occa-
sional Papers, No. L. a few years
ago." says Mr.. Brady, who quotes
the following from one of the "Occa-
sional Papers,:

tional conventions fade from our

DUES PAID BY ALL
Unorganized workers are many
times advised by their employers to
pay no dues to labor union They
are furthermore told that money paid
to an organization as dues or assess
ments is simply that much money
thrown away, that the worker is
under just so much less expense by
keeping out of the organization of
his particular craft, and that the
money he would necessarily spill for
dues he could as we'll keep in his own
pocket.
The facts are that the most expen-
sive luxury the non-union worker has
is that of not belonging to the labor
union These deluded workers are
paying dues, and excessively high
| dues, too. Instead of paying them to
the union from which they would get
much in return they are paying them
to their employer and get nothing fo1
themselves-no higher wages, nc
shorter hours and no better working
conditions, to say nothing at all OF
the many other beneficial adjuncts
that go with a paid-up membership
card in a bona-fide trades union. The
high cost of dues paid by the unor
ganized is staggering. Such dues
compel the worker to submit to life
of untold misery, and at the end o.
his miserable existence to welcome {
pauper's grave that he may finall!
escape his ever increasing burdens.

saying all along, but they are not 50
Respondent over the Daugherty ruling
now as they formerly were. A new
hope has come to them.
The clever and astute politicians
who direct the affairs of the Anti
Saloon League, according to news
reports, will throw their support to
the iniquitous ship subsidy bill in re-
turn for the order banishing intoxi-
eating liquors from American ships.
That's real log-rolling. 1t is mix
ture of little bit of heaven with a
good bit of hell. 1t is an immoral
barter. If it were personal trade it
would not be countenanced by Chris
tian gentlement.
The Anti-Saloon League, possessed
of its one idea, and that is to save
prohibition, has shown a disposition
to train with the forces of greed and
plumber to maintain its power and
strength at Washington. 1t joined
with Wall street in the fight on La
Toilette in Wisconsin. 1t has never
co-operated with the progressives at
the nations capital in efforts to bring
material relief to the people by the
passage of helpful social legislation.
1t is on the side of reaction and spe-
cial privilege. 1t is charged that it
gets the greater portion of it's money
from the forces that are fleeing the
masses. Such partnership is men
ace to the people, and in the end it
will be bad for prohibition.
The Anti-Saloon League is today in
relatively the same position as the
liquor interests were before the days
| of prohibition. They bartered and
traded with the special interests tc
save their business. A goodly mum.
Der of American people who were
not prohibitionists voted against the
saloon in the hope that it would re-
move the liquor interests from poll
tics and thus make it easier to enac1
popular legislation.
Since prohibition it seems more diff
ficult than ever to get a popular bill
through congress. Indeed, in many
respects, the situation is less favor
able than formerly Reaction is more
marked and the forces of privilege
are more brazen and bold 1t is not
the fault of prohibition so much as il
is of the unholy alliance the Anti
Saloon League has made with The
forces of greed and plunder.
1t should not be necessary for any
organization, much less an organiza-
tion of such moral pretensions as the
Anti-Saloon League, to make de.
spicable trade or deal with a govern
ment official to obtain the enforce

Little surprise was caused recently
| by the news that Judge Wilkerson
in the federal court at Chicago, had
handed down a decision making per-
manent the amazing injunction he
granted against the striking railway
shopmen of the country and others at
the instance of Attorney General
Daugherty 1t has been the general
expectation that the injunction would
be made permanent. Now that this
is what actually happened, there are
indications that the defendants will
at once appeal from the decision and
have it passed upon by the higher
courts.
1t is probably of little consequence
whether it is subjected to the review
of the court of appeals and the su-
preme court or not, as far as the re-
suit of the strike is concerned. The
strike has been won on the majority of
the roads, whose enlightened execu-
tives, refusing Daugherty's aid in a
war on the unions for the purpose of
establishing the open shop, have
made friendly settlement with their
striking employees by virtually con-
ceding the reasonable demands with
which the strike was started.
But while the men have won in
spite of Daugherty, the decree he has
obtained at Chicago should be contest
ed in the supreme court in order to
determine by the highest authority
whether the Chicago Judge has exceed
