February 8, 1918, when "the situa-
tion was extremely black for the al
lies" President Wilson handed him
collective message from the prime
ministers of Great Britain, France
and Italy, which stated that the bread
cereals sent from North America were
in December, 1917, 100000 tons be-
low the amount agreed to by con
ference held in Paris.
THE railroads." said Mr. McAdoo,
were exclusively in the hands of their
private owners throughout December,
1917"
Under government control empty
freight cars from the east were rush
ed west and were rushed back to the
Atlantic seabord loaded with food
supplies.
The witness stated that this opera
tion saved the war for the allies, as at
that time the rations of the Italian
army had been reduced twice, the ra-
tions of the French army once, while
starvation was facing the civil popu-
lation of the allies

Labor may seem stubborn, in the
Judgment of many, in it's stand against
certain phases of industrial readjust-
ment, but its patriotism as body
can not be successfully brought into
question.
Organized labor of the United
States, at one time acting frater-
nally with the international bodies of
Europe, broke that relation when it
was found that radical labor was Civ
ing support to bolshevist, or anti
government movements. There are
things for which organized labor may
be justly criticized, but the lack of
Americanism is not one of them.

PEOPLES CONTROL
Of Federal Judiciary a Ne
cessity, Says Boiler Max
ers' Editor

Kansas City, Mono reform is
more pressing, or important, than the
peoples control of the federal ju-
dietary, declares James B. Casey, edi-
tor of the Boiler Makers Journal.
The labor editor says the United
States supreme court sis not only
constructing the laws, but is making
laws, as we'll as multiplying others
made by the supreme law-making
body of the land
Judges are exercising more au-
thority than the judiciary of any other
nation in the world today, even in
those with monarchial form of gov
ernment.
"Unless this tendency is soon ar
rested, they will, in few decades,
assume authority, paralyze our law
making body and submerge the liber-
ties of the people.
"The history of the human race
shows that it is dangerous to place
unlimited power in the hands of a
small body of men. They will con
stantly enlarge their authority and
circumscribe the rights of the people
until they finally assume absolute au-
thority.
Here we have nine men appoint
ed for life, in no way amenable to
any authority, not even the one who
appoints. They may nullify, by a
mere majority. any law enacted by
congress and by their DEGREES prevent
congress from enacting any other law
for the same purpose.
"While other reforms are necessary
we believe there is none half so press
ing or important as a change in the
manner of selecting our federal
Judges, and we hope it will be one OF
the main issues in our next presiden'
tial election"

WHAT AILS THE UNIONS?

WHAT AILS THE UNIONS!
The following is from the pen of
Arthur Brisbane, the we'll known edi-
torial writer:
"These are cheerful days for union
labor The packing house workers in
Chicago went on strike. Once that
would have meant a long struggle,
and probably victory for the strikers.
Now their leader advises them to call
off their strike absolutely, and get
back their jobs if they can.
IF they can, is the unpleasant word
Doubtless the employers will realize
that it is wise to be generous in vic
tory, unwise to add more than is
necessary to bitter discomfort.
"Union labor, reviewing repeated
defeats that unionism has suffered
since the war, should do some hard
thinking.
when business man finds things
going wrong, he takes an inventory
of his goods and of himself
Union labor should take stock, ex-
anime itself, its leadership, and find
what is wrong.
This is not said in criticism, but by
friend.
"The present tendency and inten-
ton of capital and government appar-
emily is to break down the power of
unions, destroy them if possible, and
put labor back to the old take what
you get or starve" basis-tempered
by the employers generosity or sense
of caution.
Nothing could be more dangerous
than to destroy unions, which are as
necessary as capital in giving balance
and stability to industry.
"But the majority of employers
don't know that. And the unpleasant
experiences that may come to the en-
ployers later will not help wives and
children of men that find themselves
out of work or irregularly employed
today"

THE NEW MEMBER

After joining the union many men
seem to think that they have per-
formed their full duty. In some
cases they become careless and take
no interest whatever in the affairs
of the organization. 1t is not ex-
pected of them that they should be
Immediately elected to fill some office
of Importance, or start to turn things
upside down, or anything of that sort,
but they should attend the meetings
regularly and try and acquaint them
selves with the affairs going on and
eventually understand our movement
more thoroughly; by doing so they
will learn to protect their interests as
they should be, and relieve the older
men of the burdens that they car
ried before them. New ideas and
new blood is the life of any organiza-
tion; and therefore the new member
should not lack to express opinion
on any subject that may be in dis
cussion before the organization; their
ideas may not be of a character that
would be acted on favorably in the
start, but they will receive the at
tention and respect of the members,
which will inspire the confidence in
themselves for further effort. Ban
ish the idea that the other fellow
knows it all, for the innocent child
asks the most unanswerable questions,
and by asking and inquiring deeply
into things, they become interesting
and the desired information is OBJ
tanned.
There is another very important
matter that the new member must
remember, and that is that the re-
sponsibility rests upon his shoulders
of the successful continuance of the

Every particle of that expense has
been added to the cost of the articles
manufactured by the various employ
ers engaged in this attempt to de-
stroy labor unions, and the buying
public foots the bills. Some news
papers have had the audacity to take
both labor and friendly publications
to task for stating that nationwide
effort was being made to destroy Ia
Dor unions. Now, however, practic-
ally all agree that there is nothing
else actuating the promoters of this
open shop gang except the one big
idea of destroying labor organizations.
In fact, the fellows who are doing the
agitating for the open shop and the
american" plan, admit that such is
their purpose. A man who gives his
name as Vollmer, and signs himself
as secretary of the National Boss
Printers League, with headquarters
in Chicago, stated in one of his regu-
lar bulletins that the fight against
the Printers Union is not "a fight
against the printing trades alone, but
fight for all industry" He goes on
to state in another of his bulletins
that all organizations, of practically
every nature, have combined their
strength against the labor unions. He
urges all cities to follow this example.
Much of the open shop and "Ameri-
can" plan dope comes to this office
Among all that litters our desk, that
coming from Chicago carries by far
the greatest amount of pure, unadul-
terated bunk and the widest, mali
cious falsehoods of any other hireling
of the bosses. Running close sec
ond to him is one Dunn, of Atlanta

SHOP" FIGHT is STILL ON

In the efforts that have been made
TO destroy the labor unions of the
United States since the signing of the
armistice, every known (and some un-
known) bad trait of human nature
has come to the surface. There has
been small army of blood-suckers
employed by certain interests, and in
order that these may hold their jobs
as secretaries, managers and what
not, these professional hoodlums have
enmeshed large number of employ
ers who have never been at "outs"
with their employees. The kilograms,
circular letters, pamphlets, efficiency
experts, postage, and what not, to-
gether with all the expenses attach
ed TO the open shop fight, have cost
the employers of this country mil
lions upon millions of dollars, more
than the wages of wage-earners
would amount to in long period of
years. Do you wonder who pays the
bills? The dear public pays the bills.
Yes, that same public for which these
same employers shed crocodile tears
when writing and speaking about the
American" plan and all hypocritical
terms used by them in their efforts
to blind the public, pays the bills.

FREE" INSURANCE
Of Railroad Paid For BY
Workers at High Cost

Albany, N. Y.-"The wage reduc-
tion last July of 1872 per cent, as well
as the reduction of 10 per cent they
are now clamoring for would buy you
real insurance which you could keep
for your heirs after you left the en-
ployment of this company"
The above summarizes the attitude
of transportation employees toward
the "free" insurance recently an
nounced by the Delaware & Hudson
railroad. In a joint statement, the
engineers, fremen, conductors, tele-
graphers and trainmen say:
"The Delaware & Hudson manage
ment has just launched an insurance
scheme that in our opinion may be
masquerading under the pretense of
philanthropy, while really intended to
undermine the organizations and
weaken their power for good for their
members.
"The proposition is declared to be
voluntary on the part of the Della
ware & Hudson Company, which re-
serves the right to discontinue, modify
and do to the plan whatever it sees
fit in the future. This leaves the
company perfectly free to do as it
likes.
"The main purpose of the free in
surance proposition is to discourage
employees from carrying insurance in
their labor organizations, and to take
from them their insurance proposition
when soliciting members. This is un-
doubtedly done in the hope that, with
the protective activities now tempor-
arily suspended by action of the
United States railroad labor board, it
will result in the men not feeling the
need for membership in railroad labor
and make them inclined
to take more attractive insurance feat
ures offered by the company in their
stead"

HOW WILL SHE DO IT?

The Massachusetts, law requires
that the wage adjustment board shall
consider not only the employees, but
the financial condition of the occupa-
ton and the result of the increase in
the minimum rate of wages paid."
Sounds fair enough, doesn't it? Here
is the way it works A few months
ago the minimum wage commission
of that state had a case before it
of girls employed in a candy indus
try Its finding was that a girls
cost of living, gauged by the gener-
ally accepted schedule for her neces-
sary expenses, was $3.50 a week.
But it also found that the candy in
dustry could not afford to pay more
than $12 a week. This left deficit
of $3.50 a week in the amount the
board declared to be the minimum
wage, which it would, of course, be
necessary for the girl to make up in
some way How, the board did not
presume to indicate. Could anything
be more absurd than for an official
body to find the minimum wage upon
which an employe can live, and then
fix maximum wage for the employer
to pay which is less than that min

Newport may house this win
ter a thousand Buick automobiles
if storage room can be provided
for them.
Messrs. Bradley and Fairbrothe-
er yesterday received a wire from
the Noyes-Buick Co., New Eng
land distributors of the Buick car,
asking if it would be possible for
them to store a thousand cars for
the winter. They will be shipped
east via the Canadian Pacific rail
way to Newport, TO await delivery
IN the spring by the Boston and
Maine railroad. This would mean
seveen or eight train loads of be-
tween forty and fifty cars each.
The flat cars on which autos are
shipped will carry at least three
cars.
This proposition was poser to
the new firm, but they are already
making plans to put this large
shipment under cover. There is a
rumor that an immense shed will
be constructed on the trotting
park or some other available place
for the purpose.

New Ideas

Is is a difficult matter to draw
the golden mean between conser-
vatism and radicalism.
Many people begin to hurrah
for every new idea suggested for
political and economic reform.
The theoretical arguments for
such innovations look plausible to
them, and they never think of pos
sible objections. They agitate VIC
lently for such ideas, and condemn
politicians and parties if their pro
posals are not promptly accepted.
Other people go to the opposite
extreme. They regard the world as
a pretty comfortable place as it is,
and view new ideas with hostility.
Both attitudes are wrong. The
country is full of evils that need
reform. People must examine sug-
gestions with a hopeful and open
mind. But before rushing to the
support of every new idea, it is
well to ask how they have worked
in practice, and how they fit in
with ordinary human nature.

The Philosophy of Toys

The children's toys which are
distributed in such profusion at
Christmas are more than mere
playthings. Parents will find it in
teresting to STUDY their effect on
child nature.
The primary motive for toy Civ
ing is the desire of loving parents
to make their children happy.
Also they have a useful effect, in
diverting the attention of the kid
element from their troubles. In
Vulnerable generations of yelling
youngsters have been silenced by
diverting their attention through
some toy. These playthings are a
wonderful help to the busy moth
er, who uses them 10 occupy the
minds of her restless offspring
While she attends to other duties.
But the toy does more than
keep peace in the house. 1t is the
child's first tool, and his use of it
is his first introduction to the vast
equipment of machinery and in
dustrial devices that has been
handed down from previous gener-
ations. A child without toys is not
merely likely to be unhappy, but
he is like a man east out into the
world without tools of manual or
mental labor with which to use
his powers and accomplish his
ends.
Toys incite children to use their
hands and play they are doing
real work, lay the foundation for
industry and mechanical skill. Mil
lions of children got their first
conception of tools from building
blocks and similar playthings.
Toys give the child his first lit
tie glimpse into the vast world Of
invention, and make him curious
to know more of the triumph of
mans ingenuity. Children should
be taught to care for their toys
and to use them in the most skill
full way. The boy who handles his
little tin spade effectively today,
will soon use carpenters tools we'll
and some day may be handling OF
perating a morvalous mechanical
invention.
