they have voted to refuse to abide by
the decision of the board and seek to
cover up their dirty work by trying
to align the Cancellation board and our
organization with the I.W. w. This,
however, is but an ink barrage TO
blind the real truth of the situation.
They came before the board, when
they found they could not sneak out
of it, in an insulting, overbearing man
ner They used the customary tactics
of the average lumber lord. First
they lied, then they tried to bulldoze,
neither of which worked, as shown by
the decision of the board.

employers beat US there they will at
tack US in every lumber producing
center in the northwest"

PRACTICALLY UNTHINKABLE'
SO THE CONVENTION OF INTERNATIONAL La
DIES GARMENT WORKERS UNION VOTES
THE "ONE BIG UNION PLAN OF
AMALGAMATION
Spreaders of Communstc Propaganda Are Made to Feel
Heavy Hand of Trade Union Discipline
By Needle Crafts

Cleveland Ohio-One big Union adj
vocates were as silent as the proven
bal clam when officers of the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union reported to the convention that
an amalgamation of the needle trades
is practically unthinkable."
BY a unanimous vote the convention
agreed to continue needle alliance,
formed two years ago. The conven-
tion wasted no time on so-called
.'lefts," who felt the heavy hand of
trade union discipline. This discipline
made poor atmosphere" for sky
shooters, who saw some of their asso-
ciates unseated because of professed
belief in communism, for slandering
officials, and for other anti-union
practices.
The plea for freedom of opinion"
was answered by the claim that "this
is a gathering of trade unionists, and
we want no divided allegiance"
Before this iron discipline the "soap
box" delegate was forced to give way
to those who treated with facts.
In reporting on the temporary for
nation of a needle trades alliance, two
years ago, officers of the garment
workers said that in answer at that

"Our delegates pointed out that such
an amalgamation would be practical
impossibility; they argued that the
various needle trades are SO distinct
ly different from one another that an
amalgamation of them is practically
unthinkable. Their work seasons are
different, their labor conditions are
markedly different, and the problems
of one industry are often not even
understood by the workers in the
other industries"
President Schlesinger was re-elect-

that he would be defeated that he
drove them into the open by demand

The New Year

Once more the time has come to give you
all-our friends-heartiest Greetings, and
to salute you with the old but ever hopeful
wish, "A Happy New Year!"
AS the Seven Sages of Greece summed
up all human wisdom in the two adages,
"Know thyself' and Nothing too much" ;"
so we, at this season, sum up all that we
have of goodwill and aspiration toward
more universal peace, happiness, and pros
perity in the old formulae, "a Happy New
Year!"
And as this is sort of prayer or in
vocation, and as we believe that prayers
are answered best when the prayer goes
out and works heart and soul for his DESIRE
SO we intend to bend all our energies in
1928 toward serving you even better than
in the past, that we may do our share to
make your New Year happy one.

NEW FUNCTION FOR RAILROAD

Nowadays the railway man does some
thing more than oil and repair locomo-
tives, run trains, keep roadbeds in repair,
and prepare timetables. He also takes
photographs.
This is because the modern railway man
has come to broad understandings of his
function. He is not merely a transformed
bus driver. He is a merchant. He sells
transportation, as a piano dealer sells
pianos, and he desires to make his product
attractive. The beautiful casing of piano
does not add to its musical qualities, but it
makes the prospective purchaser pleased
with it in advance and contented with it
after he purchases it. A photograph does
not transport a passenger or make his
journey safe, but it pleases the prospective
traveller and adds an element to his jour
ley which makes it more valuable to him
both in anticipation and in memory.
But the railway man is even more than
a merchant He is as truly as an officer
of the government socal servant. Civili-
cation is product of travel. Whoever
not only promotes travel but helps to give it
significance is leader in civilization.
And this is what the railway man does.
1t is in this capacity, not merely as
merchandiser of motion, but as an enlarger
of the environment of men and teacher of
what travel has to offer to mems minds
and souls, that the railway man employs

THOUGHTS FOR 1928
THE MIRROR.

The year just closing means something
different to most everybody. To some it
has brought great joy; to others great
sorrow; to many, both grief and gladness
in full measure. Many of us have gone
along the regular, uneventful path, filled
with the happiness of love and work and
the joy of everyday things, which, after
all, is the best happiness.
To youth the New Year means long,
pleasure-flled evening and the writing of
a new date on their letters. They look
neither forward nor back. They make
resolutions because it seems the correct
thing to them to do. They keep them
sometimes and it helps make them better
men and women, but it is not serious mat
ter with them-just as is natural for youth.
Older folks involuntarily look back a
bit on the eve of a new year-not sys

tematically, but with a general sweeping
glance that usually makes them bit un-
comfortable at things left undone or fail
ures to make good as they had intended.
Maybe there has been just one thing ac-
complished that gives them little warm
feeling round their hearts - maybe not.
The great sorrow or great JOY stands out
with more meaning to them than to youth.
'Tis another milestone passed
The New Year may not present very
bright prospects to some, but these same
older folks know that there is something
better in store than what the immediate fu-
ture seems to offer-kno4v that unhappy
things cart laSt-that they are pretty sure
10 lead TO something greater and better
know that even if they can't understand
the reason for sorrow and trouble that
there is a reason-know it deep down
within themselves, though outwardly they
resent and rebel against fate. 1t is not
tlind faith or optimism that teaches this,
but reason and knowledge of life.
Older folks know that the year is bound
to bring happiness and relief to those who
are now bearing sorrow and trouble.-Ex.

PUTTING THE GOLDEN RULE
TO WORK

Christianity in business is to be the motto
of the American Cast Iron Pipe Company,
which recently elected John ]. Eagan, one
of Atlanta's wealthiest citizens and a lea
der in reform movements, as president.
The directors, said Mr.. Eagan, according
to newspaper reports, are all church MEM
bers, and ''they have elected another pro-
Tossing Christian as president ON basis
that the teachings of Christ are to be the
ruling principles of the business" Mr..
Eagan's platform is brief. 1t stands, we
are told, for reasonable living wage to
the lowest paid worker, constant employ
ment to every member of the organization,
and an actual application of the Golden
Kule to all relations between employe and
employer. The company has already car
ried some of its theories into action. About
eight years ago, according to Mr.. Eagans
statement the firm erected large indus
trial Y. M. c. A., and with that as a

Sun" was the magnet. We passed through
a $4,000 acre cattle ranch on the slopes of
this island mountain.
At close of day Prof. Barton reached the
edge of the crater and silhouetted against
the sky urged us forward the last 500 feet
of the climb. AS we stood by his side on

watched the evening sun slip down into
the sea of clouds stretching clear to the

bilowy ocean of sun kissed clouds ira
yelled away into infinite space. Before us
Nature opened up the book of the world
and read one of her most sublime chapters.
Through a rift in the cloud mass we
glimpsed the turquoise blue of the Pacific
and the white surf pounding the rugged
shore line. AS the sun rose higher the
cloud waves marched majestically into
Koolau Gap, which is thousands of feet
wide and filled the cosmic pit at our feet

center began charging the scope of the
company's service to its employees until
low it has staff including physicians, a
surgeon, dentist and nurse, and mutual
benefit association, operated by the COM
pany and employees jointly, to provide for
relief of workers in case of sickness and
death. Recently the company established a
pension fund for old age or disability.
Those who have lost their faith in the
justice of Christs teachings may scof at
such program as that adopted by the
Atlanta company, remarks the Providence
Bulletin, "but it will not suffer from the
jeers and scoffing if it is founded on eternal
principles" There are many "old-timers,
reactionaries and backsliders who may
succeed while longer with antiquated
methods, but the optimist is confident that
the Eagan school of business conduct will
some time be the popular one, because it
will be the most successful" Corporations
have no soul, the Pittsburgh Post reminds
us but it believes that even if this COM
pany lacks a soul 'it has at least been
given, by the directors action, heart"
And some of these times, The Christian
Science Monitor is optimistic enough to
believe, "it will be generally recognized
among business men and institutions that
the most practical, profitable way of con-
ducting their business is on genuinely
Christian basis 1t will be learned that
the Golden Rule, so long looked upon by
them as a merely beautiful theory, is also
workable, valuable guide in all trans
actions with their fellow men," In order
then,
"To bring about lasting peace between
Capital and Labor the question of wages
and hours of work must be approached
in a true Christianly manner by both
sides. Suspicion and greed must give way
to desire to do the right thing, regard
less of the immediate outcome. A few
more examples such as that of the Ameri-
can Cast Iron Pipe Company, and that Of
the A. Nash Company of Cincinnati, cloth
ing manufactures, who have achieved
notable success by the adoption of Golden
Rule methods in their business, may lead
to an awakening throughout the CONNER
cial world that will result in early peace
between Capital and Labor. An indus
trial armistice should be signed at once"

O:-In recent issue of THE MIRROR
saw and read a poem stating there were
nine parts of speech in the English Lam
guage This is true with the articles, a,
an, and the. However, I've studied gram
mar and it seems that a, an, and the are
now defined as adjectives. Are they called
adjectives or articles? And can they be
used and called as both adjectives and
articles? If not, then there's only eight
parts of speech by chasing those three
words adjectives.-A. r.
Al, an and the are limiting adjec-
tives, known as the articles. Articles were
formerly considered as one of the parts of
speech, but there seemed to be no particular
reason for this as they are simply adjec-
tives. There seems to be no other explana-
tion for calling the articles part of
speech in the poem referred to, other than
that the author did not know better or
exercised his right to 'poetic license"
