OPEN SHOP BAD FOR NATION.

Il question whether it is fair or
will prove lastingly worthwhile to
force the issue of the open shop if
that is to be translated in practice
into an effort to subjugate or discrim-
mate against unionized workingmen,
at a time when they are down; and
| fear lasting victory for democracy
in industry cannot be won if the fight
for the open shop, commonly viewed
by those affected as campaign
against labor organizations is pressed
when the men are begging for bread"
So declares f. H. Golf president of
the Cleveland Trust Company, who
expresses his belief in collective bar
gaining and in the right and neces-
sity of labor organizing for its bet
tsrment and protection.
The nation is facing a serious situa-
ton, says the banker, and he regards
as unwise and perhaps destructive
those employers who have complicat-
ed matters by sowing bitterness in
the ranks of the workers, "upon
whom so much depends if the coun.
try's business is to be returned to q
normal and prosperous basis"

WAGE is HIGHER
BUT BUYS LESS
THAN IN 1900

Cleveland, GA statement issued
today by Basil M. Manly, former joint
chairman of the National War Labor
board with Chief Justice William
Howard Taft, declared the wages re-
ceived today by workers in manufac-
turing industries, coal mines, and
the building trades throughout the
country are less in purchasing value
than wages for similar labor in 1900.
Three standards for determining
wages were laid down by Mr.. Manly:
Buying power, a sufficient wage to
maintain an average family i'm health
and reasonable comfort, and the work
ers' rightful share in the value of in
creased national productivity.
On this basis, Mr.. Manly said the
worker who made 81 day in 1900
had to make Sc in 1920 to break even.
The real wages of almost every inn
portant group of workers, including
building trades, coal mining, and the
railway industry since 1913, with the
exception of the lowest paid and most
unskilled employees, have declined
from a to 10 per cent in the last two
decades, he said. He based the state.
ment on figures compiled by the Blu.
reau of census and the department OF
labor.
with the exception of few iso.
lated and exceptionally skilled trades
the wages of American workers are
insufficient, without supplement from
other sources, to provide for the sub
sistence of a family consisting of hus
band, wife, and three minor children
Mr.. Manly concluded, "much les.
maintain them in that condition OF
health and reasonable comfort which
every humane consideration demands
American labor has been sonsist.
emily deprived of its share in the
ever-increasing productivity of the
nations industries. 1t is this ever.
increasing inequity that is at the root
of the nations frequent industrial
depressions."

A HALF BILLION.

We are told that constant assoeia-
ton with danger is inclined to breed
contempt, and this apparently is not
confined to the question of danger,
but includes many other matters af-
fecting our every day lives.
For instance we have for the past
few years been bombarded by pulpit,
press and every conceivable publicity
agency with brain-staggering figures
running into billions, until by con-
slant repetition these aweinspiring
sums have lost their paralyzing pow
er and talk as glibly and unconcen-
edly of half billion as we formerly
did of a few paltry thousands.
Yet many of those who so blandly
speak of a half billion would be at
distinct loss if asked to give some
concrete example that would enable
the average mind to grasp the full
Significance of such a sum.
Realizing this common failing, we
felt that information on this score
would be appreciated by the Review
readers:
Donald Wilhelm writes in Leslie's.
All the money in circulation in the
United States is only about twelve
times that amount.
The Panama canal--the purchase
of rights construction costs, costs of
Notifications, current costs of all
kinds to July l, 1920 amounted 10
s468,S41 ,045.
All the teachers and instructors in
all our public schools earned an ag-
gregate salary for the year ending
June 30, 1918, of $421 ,0S4, 254.
The total receipts of all our uni
versities, colleges and schools of tech
nology, exclusive of additions to en-
dowments, amounted in 1917-1918 to-
s137,055,415.
The farm land in all of New Eng
land in 1910 was valued at 1882, 134,-
IA.
The governments net investment in
all irrigation projects to June 30,
1920, represented $120,355, 703.
The total cash expenditure for bet
ter roads by the government, states,
all agencies, in 1919, is estimated at
$3.50, 455, 1892.
All the gasoline used in the United
States in the last year cost consum-
ers less than $100,000,000.
Alaska cost $7,200,000.
With 5000 we could do these
things:
We could build seventy libraries
like the library of congress-; yes,
every year.
We could give raise of $713 to
every one of the 100000 school teach
ers in the United States.
We could supply $1,000 to 100000
boys and girls who want to go to col
lege.
We could build 100000 homes at
Sc, 900 each.
In the light of the above informa-
ton the ten billion dollar U. S. loan
to the European Allies takes on a
new feature and that is that its non
payment would CORRESPONDENCE in
crease the taxes of Americas citizens
with no correspondingly benefits to
justify the hardships imposed.

HOARD OF CENsoRs
AN OFFICIAL K. o.

When any official representative Of
an American National or Information
al Trades Union Organization refers
to the existence of yenal judiciary
and stigmatizes the much touted state
constabulary as a scheme of Big Bust
ness to acquire the services of a pri-
vately directed though publicly paid
army, he is liable to be called an I'M
desirable citizen and his deportation
urged for the good of the nation.
If the editor of any labor publica-
ton is guilty of a similar offense,
suppression of the offending sheet, a
blank wall, an open grave and firing
squad for such ink singer is Big
Business idea of insuring acceptance
of its cherished plans.
These well known methods of Big
Business are so commonly employed
that We wonder whether they will re-
sort to them in Trenton, N. j., from
where we learn that besides urging
the abolition of the State Constabu-
larry, Governor Edwards in his annual
message to the legislature brings a
formidable indictment against the at
titude of the courts in labor disputes.
He not only declares that employers
actually have picked their judges to
try such cases because of the known
anti-labor bias of the judges, but ar
raigns the decisions of some of the
New Jersey vice chancellors forbid
ding unions to do anything to assist
men on strike.
In some instances" he says, cal
legged strikers and their sympathizers
have been summoned out of the To-
calities where the disturbances oc-
Cured and have been compelled to
journey to other counties to answer
the process of the court. Some of the
strikers have been tried for contempt
in such counties and at considerable
distance away from the place where
the contempt was alleged to have
been committed. This is contrary, it
seems to me, to establish principles
OF justice and equity and should not
be continued"
Gov. Edwards is evidently more of
an American than he is a politician,
and thus finds it easier to condemn

than condone a wrong his official du-
ties disclose as an ever increasing
menace that calls for immediate cor
rection.

Wage advance Jagged behind, and
Tar behind, price advances through
out all this period of profteering.
- Normal wages may be high,
but the total earnings of a laborer
at the end of the week-listen to this
statement-will buy less food and
clothing and fuel today than they
would buy before the war. Real
wages have actually declined.

ANNUAL SENIOR PLAY

ing, the time for the annual senior
activities draws near. The first one
OF these to be given will be the
class play, Ruth in Rush" pre-
ented this Friday, May 5th, in the
High School auditorium.
the play this year is three-act
farce, dealing with the life and am.
bltions OF rich girl and secretary.
another millionaire and his friendi
writer. The action starts in the
home OF Miss Moore tRuth) when
her secretary. Juliet, is talking to
Mis, BroWnell Ruths aunt. Then
Ruth appears on the scene and the
action starts. Two suitors Leonard
Bruce and Wayne Ashley are re.
jected in quick order. Ruth and
Juliet are invited to Willowdene,
the home of Ruth's sister. The
writer Gilbert Lansing and his
friend, Philip Grant are also invit-
ed.
Due to bad train connections
Ruth and Juliet are stalled at u
little way-statiOn and as circum-
stances happen, the writer and his
friend also are stalled by balky
car. The excitement that follows
whom these four get together-but
You must come to see the ending
of the play 1t ends far different
from the way you will think it
should.
There is also real love affair
running through the play, between
Peggy Pat and Dwight Lambert.
Their elopement and subsequent
troubles are a source Of mirth to
the beholdcrs.

refore recorded in Zceh, 12:913 that
in this distressing time in the end of

VINO dwell in the land shall be cut

be left therein, and those he will
bring through the FIRE (of that day

gold is tried; they shall call on my

that millios now living will never

shortly by the influx Of Jews from

that when we see Jerusalem compa@

about on every side now by the
British then Jesus said that we

which we are living and through
which some would pass.

that peroid no flesh would be saved

the Union service Mt the Methodist
ohlnch in behalf of the children.
Dr. Stone gave an Introductory
tall; emphasizing the character
huiIding of child life and the re-
lat on Of the teacher to the instruc-
tion of the child.

sage to parents and urged an earlier
training than the Sunday School can
give. He deprecated the frequent
neglect Of children on the part OF
the parents.
DR.. Cantwell spoke of the utter
absence of moral conviction on the
part of many people--th the lack of a
spiritual morale. People merely
follow their inclinations and are in,
