Of word of the new Grecian revolu-
ton, which has driven King Con-
stantine from his throne in Athens. Z !
p The fact that the revolution was
caused by army officers who wanted
to fight the Turks to a finish to
prevent their occupation Of Thrace,
gave rise to these fears. The allied
plans as stated in a note to Musta-
pha Renal favor Turkish occupation

lowing the world war. In case re-
bells gain complete control, it is be
ieved certain that an attempt would

Expert Lectures on
The Art of Writing

Discussing the question as to
whether training were necessary to
become a successful writer, w. w.
Ellsworth, former president of the
Century Co. of New York and fol
40 years a publisher, told students
of the State College of Washington
that genius could not be taught, but
that ones method could be inn
proved, quoting the following fig
ureS:
Only | per cent of the population
of this country are college graduates
and only half of l per cent achieve
distinction. OF those who have only
elementary school education but
out of Al $50 become leaders; of
those with high school education, l
out of 1908; those with college
training. 1 out of 173.
He declared that but 3 per cent
of the material submitted to the
Century Co. for publication is &C
cepted, and of the rest perhaps 7 per
cent is taken by other publishers,
leaving something like 80 per cent
unstable manuscripts. This was told
to encourage students who, with lit
erary ambitions, had sent out manu-
scriptsand received only rejection
slips. Success in literature. he said,
is too often measured by pubica-
ton. when it should be measured by
the quality of what is written. Many
an author has a wastebasket as his
most frequent audience, and one
story published in high-class mag
azine is worth twenty in "Silly
Stories"
He gave "reminiscences of his ac-
quaintance with the literary great of
the last half-century. including Kip
ling, Mark Twain, Roosevelt, Bur
roughs, Conan Doyle, Seton-Thomp-
son and various others.

The following open letters ex-
changed between James A. Duncan,
secretary of the Seattle Central
Labor Council and President VIM.
Short of the Washington State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor on the political
questions before the workers of the
state should be read by everyone:
Seattle, Wash. May 8, 1922.
Mr.. VIM. M. Short,
sos Maynard Bldg,
Seattle.
Dear Brother Short
Notwithstanding your claim that
your circular letter of April 18th
was misconstrued, a very careful re-
reading of it confirms me in the be-
lief that it was intended to obstruct
independent political action by the
producers of this state.
This belief is strengthened by the
well known fact that you have APP
peared before groups of workers re-
Gently and criticised their action OF
1920 in support of the Farmer-Labor
party; and also by your encourage
ment of at least one individual to
become a candidate for high office
on the Republican ticket this year.
Your expressed desire for unity
and democracy meets with my hearty
endorsement and in order that the
workers of this state may have an
opportunity to hear and read what
we have to say for and against this
proposition, and be in a position to
instruct their delegates to the con
vention in manner that will full
represent their desires, | hereby eX-
tend to you a cordial invitation to
debate with me the following ques-
ton:
Resolved: That the best interests
of the workers upon the political
field will be best observed by indie
pendent political action upon the part
of the producers through their own
party.
| will undertake to defend the af-
firmative and ask that you defend
the negative side of this question.
If such an arrangement is agree
able to you, | would suggest that
we debate at Aberdeen, Bellingham,
Black Diamond, Everett. Roslyn, Spo-
kane, Tacoma, Vancouver, Walla
Walla, Yakima, and Seattle begin
ming one week from today. This plan
is of course subject to changes to
meet your convenience.
In case this plan is not agreeable
to you, | would suggest that the de-
bate take place through the columns
of the Union Record, and in such
case, we agree upon a referee TO
strike from our arguments any mat
ter which does not bear strictly
upon the question at issue.
Ii you think it of any Importance
[ would also willingly defend in de-
bate. the question of the right of
the Seattle Central Labor Council
to assume the position it has in con
nection with this important question.
Hoping for a favorable reply at
your earliest convenience and assur-
ing you of my sincere desire to let
the rank and file settle this issue,
Fraternally yours
JAMES A. DUNCAN.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1922-05-19
WHOM DO YOU THINK Is RIGHT
BILL SHORT OR JIM DUNCAN?

+ you in winning the membership of
the Seattle labor movement to your
personal policy. an Overwhelming
majority of which has already de-
clined to concur in your resolution.
May | not suggest that you deal
with them first before attempting to
subdue the rest of the state.
Almost my entire time at present,
and for the next six weeks, is and
will be taken up in trying to win
labor's initiative campaign which is
in danger of failing, particularly at
Seattle where you have signally
failed to lend any practical assist
ance. This campaign is the most I'M
portant issue Immediately confront
ing our labor movement; the other
matter can and will be settled next
July. May l not ask that in view
of the fact that you have as much
time on your hands as your letter
indicates that you temporarily dis
card your personal opposition to the
Federation and myself and join with
US in strong effort to bring sue
cess to this vitally important pro-
gram for our movement-a support
that you have consistently withheld
from the Federation since | have
occupied the presidency.
| hereby cordially invite you to at
tend the Federation convention next
July. the only legitimate channel
through which the problem you are
personally attempting to deal with
can be solved, and assure you the
fullest privileges of the floor in pre-
senting such views as you may there
desire to submit.
Again expressing my deep regret
that neither the rank and file nor
myself can accept your appraisement
of your own importance, | am,
Fraternally yours,
(Signed) w. M. SHORT

LABOR NEWS

AUSTRIA: Tenant laval
| though the Tenant Law was enacted
as a war measure to prevent land
lords from arbitrarily increasing
rents and eiecting tenanst, all efforts
to alter it, SO that rents can be in
creased adequately to keep pace with
depreciation, have been violently OPP
posed by the social democrats, with
the result that rents are perhaps
cheaper in Vienna than in any city
in the world. AS a consequence of
this situation the housing problem is
desperate.
CHILE: Coal Strike.-The strike
of the coal miners at Coronel and
Lota is still in progress. The opcr-
ators persist in their determination
to reduce their labor force by APP
proximately % per cent; while the
men not only deny the right of the
operators to rid themselves of UNI
desirable laborers, but insist upon
maintaining the "redondilla" or shift
system.
HOLLAND:.. Forty Eight Hour
Week.-Due to the competitive rela-
lions of Dutch industries with those
of other countries which have no s.
hour or similar law, the Holland
Government proposes to extend the
working week from As to As hours
by lengthening the legal workday to
81 hours, with an extra half hour
on Saturday.
HUNGARY: Strikes.-A general
strike is in effect among the metal
and leather workers, and the entire
strike situation is being made more
unfavorable by dissatisfaction among
the carpenters and bakers. The work
ers assert that although employers
are making larger profits at present
than formerly, they are neverthe-
less paying below the minimum
wages. The government is attempt
ing to remedy the situation through
series of conferences in the Trades
Supervision Bureau.
NORWAY: Compulsory Arbitra-
ton Act.-By the provisions of the
Compulsory Arbitration Act, recently
passed, impending strikes or lock-
outs, by which the safety of the COM
munity may be ieopardized. must be
submitted to an Arbitration Court
consisting of five members, who are
to decide all questions at issue and
whose decisions are binding for one
year.

Coop. Savings Bank
Opened in Chicago

The first cooperative bank in
Chicago has just been opened by the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers of
America, with a capital of $780,
10000 and a surplus of $100,000.00.
The charter for the bank. named the
Amalgamated Trust & Savings Bank,
was granted by the Illinois State
Comptroller of Banking on April
18th. Banking quarters have Just
been leased at 371 West Jackson
Boulevard, and it is proposed to open
branches in other parts of the city
in order to facilitate the receipt of
deposits from working people.
The organization of the Clothing
Workers cooperative bank is a cul-
mination of two years of careful
planning on the part of the eXecu-
tives of the Union. The bank is
modelled largely after the highly sue
cessful Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers National Bank in Cleve-
land, except that it is organized I'M
der state instead of a national
charter. 1t embodies the cooperative
safeguards and division of earnings
provided in the model cooperative
bank plan formulated by the All
American Cooperative Commission
of Cleveland
Discussing the opening of the
bank, Samuel Levin. Chairman of the
Chicago Joint Board of A. C. w. A,
says:
''This is one of the greatest events
in the labor movement. We are for
tunate that the Amalgamated have
the forst labor bank in the second
largest city of the United States"
The Clothing Workers have Sc
cured the services of an experienced
financier to manage the bank. while
responsible executives of the Union
constitute the Board of Directors.
