LIBERTY VERSUS ACTION

Liberty and what it really means!
Philosophers for years have defined
the word, which is one of the greatest
in the human language. Nevertheless
we find many different concepts. How
far can individual liberty extend
without infringing upon the liberties
of others? -,
There should be no limitation of lib
erty i'm thought and in expression,
verbal or written. Liberty of action
necessarily has certain prescribed
limitations. 1t is predicated upon
law. Individual and collective liberty
is in the final analysis protected by
laws. Organized society in the State
and Nation could not be held together
without law. There can be no liberty
without organization and laws in so
fan as society at large is concerned.
Individual liberty if carried to its log
;aetaenalusiam. withailt restrictive law
individual liberty of others.
The same principle applies to the
organized workers in the economic
field of endeavor. Labor organizations
must have laws. They do have laws.
They are made through the demo-
cratic expression and action of the
memberships A scale of wages is
made by the democratically expressed
will of the majority. 1t is the law
made for the protection of all. The
same principle applies to the hours of
labor, working conditions, and bene-
fits. All laws are made of necessity
to protect the rights and liberties of
the membership individually and col
lectively. Those who disregard these
laws or attempt to are working
against their own best interests and
those of their fellow men and are
guilty of action akin to treason
against the interests, rights, and well
fare of the workers. While liberty of
thought and expression is limitless,
freedom of action is limited to obedi-
ence to democratically made laws.
If laws are bad, change them
through orderly constituted methods.
But while they exist they should be
obeyed. Any other course will lead to
confusion, disruption, and consequent
injury to all concerned.

HOW COMPANY UNIONS WORK

The Miners strike in Southern Col
orado during 1914, which resulted in
the Ludlow massacre, was followed
by the formation of company union.
John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., was influen-
tial in bringing the "union" into ex-
istence and spent great deal of time
and money advertising the idea, and
for time the arrangement was
known as the Rockefeller Plan"
However, the name failed to inspire
interest and was later on changed to
American Plan" for the purpose of
coating it with patriotism" in place
of Standard oil.
How the original company union
worked out is evidenced by the strike
of the coal miners employed by the
Colorado Iron and Fuel company,
who have suspended work in resist
ance of thirty per cent wage reduc-
ton, which was put into effect in
spite of the award by the Government
Bituminous Coal Commission and in
disregard to the Colorado State In
dustrial Law.
The miners did not suspend work
until after the Colorado authorities
failed to take action against the COM
pany. There was no delay on the
part of officialdom in Colorado in
taking action after the strike occur
red, as the governor Immediately de-
clared martial law and ordered out
troops and state rangers for the pur-
pose of shooting the miners full of
Colorado "Americanism."
The situation presents concrete
example of the lack of enforcement
of laws that may be beneficial to the
workers and the consistent enforce
ment of laws advantageous to the in
terests. The situation also presents
an example of Row advantageously
company of American plan unions
work to the employees interests. If
you are tempted to experiment with
a new organization, fully consider
the experience of the Colorado miners
which is very similar to the expert
enee OF many other workers who took
seriously the advice of the employers
agents, for instance the Pacific Coast
telephone men.

HUNGRY MEN
ASK PRESIDENT
FOR EMPLOYMENT
(By The Federated Press

Washington.-Among the thou
sands of citizens who stood in long
lines before the White House, Mon
day afternoon, in the bitter wind, to
get a~Shance to shake hands with
PresidU M Harding, was Urban Le-
douX with company of the unem-
ployed who are sheltered at the
Stepping Stone" relief station here.
Ledoux described them as "a humid
red Americans, eager to work and un-
able to find work, who are suffering
from hunger and cold and who want
to present their case directly to the
president"
Among them were men of all ages
from II to 60, and they included farm
hands skilled mechanics, common la
borers, eX-soldiers, clerks, and for
mer small merchants.
"Thye represent the misery of mil
lions of unemployed, which is becom-
ing more intense every day as the
winter goes on and work fails to offer
them chance to be fed and clothed
and sheltered as decent human beings
must be fed and clothed and sheltered.
The Hoover conference on unemploy-
ment, and all the other official GEES
lures of consideration for the prob
lem, have removed less than one
fifth of the unemployed from this
army of despair. | am taking these
men to see the president, to demon
strate to him their immediate need
and to urge him to do something spe-
officially for the relief of their hun
ger and cold and that of the great
numbers who share their plight
When Ledoux finally came to the
reception room and shook hands with
the president, the spectacle cf the
leader of the unemployed in a suit of
sackcloth, ssprinkled with ashes, ap-
peared to make more of an impress
sion on Harding than did the fact that
the remainder of the delegation had
begged their lunch that day.

The union label insures stability in
business because the principles it
stands for are sound, enduring and
Interchangeable.
The union label educates, organizes,
and directs the public, making the
purchaser the intelligent ally, instead
of the Indifferent foe, of labor.

DON'T CHASE THE RAINBOW.

This is mighty good time for people to stay with the
old home and work out their problems and their salvation
where they are KNOWN where they have friends where
they have established themselves in the confidence of the
community
In times OF STRESS such have been passing through
however there is always the job the promoter who ex
aggerates the for any dissatisfaction an effort
get people to move into unknown fields
Such an effort is being put forth in Idaho today We
doubt ii it is having much effect, but would sound
note OF warning to any who may have listened to this siren
voice or looked upon the seductive moving picture of this
Rainbow Promised Land.
There is not better state in the northwest than Idaho
What Idaho has gone through every state has experienced
Idaho has suffered than the others and less than
The period Of readusment following the war is
not checker-board affair. 1t is solid mass and no part
of the United States has escaped Idaho has not but
must be admitted that general conditions have been and
forward movement is fully pronounced in Idaho in
any other state
Our people have fought it out and as well prepared
any to take the fullest advantage of rapidly approach
ing normal conditions
Then why move?
The only know of is because someone has
land to sell In where special efforts are
being made to induce Idaho people to leave their homes
the proposed location matter of general know
ledge presents such advantages of climate soil or pos
sibilities as Idaho.
The fellow who sticks to Idaho will win
1t is exceedingly risky to make hasty and iadvised
moves Failure is far often the result than is sue
cess.

Benjamin Charles Skipper died at

Charles Skipper was born in Eli

while he was quite young. Later
while in college he ran away from
his guardian and came west. Lo-
eating at Omaha he mastered and
followed the trade of steam filter
for several years. Later he became
connected with railroad work and in
1882 began working for the Oregon
Short Line, with which system he
has since been connected. He in
stalled the water systems at the sta
lions along this line as the road was
built west from Poeatello. He came
to Glenns Ferry in 1890 and contin-
ued to reside here until seven years
ago. when he was transferred to
King Hill, where he had charge OF
the water station for the railroad
company. His healt h began fail

WHY NOT CLEAN THE ALLEY.

If person to wash only side of his face and
continually neglect the other side he would soon become
local curiosity-would be considered dppy.
Yet many Of clearly throughout in our personal ha
bits allow the beauty of well kept front yards to become
married by accumulation of trash along the back fence
Dirty and filthy alleys and side streets are an eyesore to
any community
They are not only detriment to property interests
but are continual menace to health
There is not thing to be said in their behalf but much
to be said against them
Why have them in this town?

Uniform Time System Desirable,

Now it is intimated that an ap-
peal will be made to the federal
courts against the right of any
state to establish time system OF
its own; and there is legal authority
for the anticipation that the deci-
sion may be against that right on
the ground that congress alone Is
empowered by the constitution 10
establish systems of weights and
measures, including, of course, the
measuring Of time.
However, this may be, there can
be nothing more obvious than that
the time system should be uniform
only by action of congress. inc
best Judgment of the country is, we
believe, In favor of the daylight
saving plan, ON ground of economy,
of health and of pleasure, every
ground worthy of consideration.
BUT whether that plan is adopted or
standard time is retained unchanged
there should be q law OF congress 10
determine it, which would be COM
prlsory upon the entire country
And the time of year is now close
at hand when one or the other, OF
both, Of the two plans will go into
effect. Already important cities are
adopting daylight saving" while
the states in which they are stick
to standard time, so that there is an
imminent prospect of repetition OF
last years chaos. For congress tc
permit such a calamity would be
to add new and by no means small
