the Federated Trades assembly. If
we had our way we would send Mr..
Harris certified copy of the pro-
ceedings after every meeting. He
would get the truth then, and he
might also learn something worth
while about the inside workings of
the local labor movement, of which
none of us need be ashamed.
A trades assembly spy reported
to Mr.. Harris on the day following
the last meeting that the local
unions of blacksmiths and hosting
engineers had presented letters an.
nouncing their withdrawal from the
assembly. "The Hosting Engineers
union," records Mr.. Harris, "stated
in; their letter that they could not
see that they were receiving any
benefits from their utilization with
the trades assembly"
"C COu4O 1dMOSC p1dCc Jul uduuS
on the man who made such false
report to Mr.. Harris. 1t is true
that the Hosting Engineers union
did vote to withdraw from the as
sembly, but it's communication gave
no reason therefor. It was later
learned that the union was attempt
ing to cut down its. running ex'
penses on account of the fact that
many of it's members are out OF
work and were unable to pay their
dues. When the delegates voted
to carry the union until such time
as it's finances became stronger the
hosting engineers Immediately
voted to remain with the assembly.
That is the fact, Mr.. Harris. Get
it from us; we will give it to you,
straight. A labor spy will double
cross you as quickly as he will be-
tray his fellows. Watch out for
him; he's a bad actor.

These things and other: similar
things are lawful-and properly so.
But we find that we may not put
special tax on child labor pro-
ducts to keep them out of inter-
state commerce and thereby keep
the children out of the factories.
Lawyers tell us that the Consti-
tuition of the United States is. suf-
ficiently elastic to meet every stu
alton that arises. The courts have
had the habit of making it pliable
in it's application to business and
property, but they seem to be as
rigid as steel in it's application to
human beings.
l. Civilized America will not per-
nit one Of its greed.infested states
to barter in the lives of children
when all the rest of the country
has set up laws against it. It will
exterminate child labor as it did
chattel slavery, only we hope more
sanely and peaceably.
An amendment to the Constitu-
ton seems to offer the only way
out. One is already in the making.
1t can be passed by congress and
ratified quickly. The country will
approve of such an amendment. It
should be broad enough to permit
congress to meet every general So
cial evil. State rights, like person
al rights, are subject to abridge-
ment where national social injus-
tice begins. We have been using
double yard-stick~ in measuring
them, one for business and the
other for humanity. AS a result
class distinction in federal legisla-
ton has been made that is fraught
with danger.
It will not hurt a bit to write
to. the congressman and senators
from Minnesota and let them know
how you feel about this subject.
A real issue is involved. Greed has
enough without taking the children.
There is a. way out. Work for it.

IT DOES SEEM QUEER,

The supreme court is coming in
for it's share of criticism because
of it's decision in holding the fed.
eral child labor law hnconstitu.
tional. This is the second time the
court has ruled on that subject.
The first law enacted by congress
required that all products of child
workers shipped from one state to
another should bear labels inform
ing the public that they were made
by child labor. The court held that
law unconstitutional by vote Of
five to four. It was. one of the
famous one-man decisions. E
Congress next attempted to meet
the situation by enacting a law
providing for a tax on child labor
products in interstate commerce.
The supreme court says that law is
illegal. This time the court is
unanimous. That fact will make
the latter decision more popular
than the first. Such men as Brand
els on the supreme bench must
have strong reasons fer Joining in
the decision, which should indicate
to friends Of child labor: legislation
that some fundamental question
appeared to our friends at court
of, greater consequence than the
evil of child labor. A.:.-- & :. T. =:-ss
However, it is difficult for the
average man to understand the
courts reasoning in this case, when

held by the same court are constd.

DAILY seeing that something heroic

was the signal, and every laster in
the establishment dropped the tools
of his trade, put away his apron and
reached for his coat to follow Daily.
They were all union men.

The facts are that the; sale of

sion nullifies all laws intended to

ed without spending more money
than the law allowed.
They are safe in spending any
amount, now. Daugherty fixed It up
for them.
The "open" shoppers and other
anti-unionists have objected to
unions. They claimed that they were
'class-movements." Is there any
more capital-conscious, sovietized
class-movement in the world than
the group of millionaires who are
now buying seats in the United

Years ago when the labor move
ment of our much loved country
was more in formative state than
at the present time and before the
boot and shoe workers, under that
title had all of those engaged in turn
ing out boots and shoes in their or
ganization, the trade had sub-divi-
sions, one of which was a truly pro-
gressive and militant group called
the lasters. The most of the then Of
ficers Of that union are now in
Heaven, but the good work they
performed keeps their memory fresh
even under modern trade develop
ments. J
There had been contention among
the ,lasters in Lynn, Mass. In fact
there had been many contentious.
They were underpaid and had
cramped and unhealthy workshops.
The lasters' union insisted on better
pay and better working conditions.
The executive officer, Ed. DAILY, had
but one leg. but those who knew him
best testified: that he could do as
much kicking with the one foot as
any other man might do with two.
An unruly employer in Lynn con-
ceived happy thought. He would
go out into the country, purchase a
piece of land, erect a, shoe factory,
hire non-union men, manufacture for
the trade, and be remote from the
activities of Daily and his official
pals. All went we'll. The factory was
ready for workmen: The employer
advertised for non-union men. In
surprisingly short time all of his
lasting benches were. connected with
evidently and eminently first class
lasters. This soon became known to
the trade. Ed Daily made a visit to
the firms office and was threatened
wit harrest if he went around the
new shop encouraging lasters. to join
his union. Rough language did not
rattle him and his pleasant manner
made the employer feel perturbed
a having spoken rudely to him. DAILY
promised to call again. The employ
err advised him not to.

are constantly writing and talking
about the staggering sums that are
'twrung" from the workers by the
American Federation of Labor.
Men who call themselves statesmen

struggles. We think it was the

mated with the women of the south
Immediately after the war. There
under warm skies and with more
poetic temperament, where sym.
bols and emblems are better under
stood than in the practical north,
mothers and children of the Con-
federate dead went about and
strewed their graves with flowers,
and at many places the women
also scattered them impartially over
the unknown and unmarked rest
ing places of the Union soldiers. :.
y The news of this touching tribute
flashed over the north. 1t aroused
national amity and love and allay-
ed in some measure at least Sec
tional animosity and passion. 1T
thrilled every household where
there was vacant chair and an
aching void in the heart for the
lost hero whose remains had never
been found. In a mingled tempest
of grief and joy the family cried:
MAY be it was our boy"
Thus out of common sorrow came
the beautiful custom of observing
one day in the year as Memorial
day. 1t no longer belongs to those
who mourn. 1t is the common
privilege of all Americans and will
be celebrated as long as gratitude
exists and flowers bloom. 1t is an
expression of the one fine senti~
ment in our national life that is
free from the thought of gold and
power.
A grateful nation will ever re-
member, as long as freedom lives.

vices rendered by the veterans Of
the Civil war. They not only saved
the Union, but they gave new birth
to human. freedom. That is the
heritage they have proudly handed
to succeeding generations as trust

so"-eloquently defined by Abraham
Lincoln in his Gettysburg address:
1T is for us the living to be dedi-
Gated to the unfinished
work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced -
Human liberty is never a finished

It's guardians must stand watch as
faithfully during times of peace as
of war; sometimes even more SO,
for freedoms, foe,. while constant
in war is treacherous and insidious
in peace. It works unsuspecting
like a thief at night, taking little
at time until we awaken and find
all is gone .
The finest tribute any American
can pay to the memory of the he.
roes of that civil strife out OF
which came a whole race from
bondage is to make a pledge unto
himself that he will ever do his
part as a citizen, to preserve the
freedom for which they fought. He
will see to it that they did moi
fight and die in vain. That is our
thought for Memorial day. What is
