DRY LAW MENACE TO THE COUNTRY,
 DECLARES RABBI
Jury Drinking Quart of Evidence and Freeing Prisoner, Given as
 Example.

New York, Feb, 3,-Rabbi Samuel Schulman, speaking in Temple Bethel this week, said, "nothing has hap pened in the history of our country which is such a menace to the char acter of the institution of a free self governing American democracy" as is the 18th amendment and it's corol- lary, the Volstead act He called them "breeding agents for disrespect for law"
 Rabbi Schulman's discourse was prompted ythe recent example of Federal Judge Howe, who, in boot

Sent to Local Union Bring Forth Circular Reply That Trouble at Arms Shop Still Exists Because Company Refuses to Deal With Men or U. $. MediatOrs.

Continued reports that the strike of metal polishers at the Winchester factory in New Haven, is off and everything running smoothly there now have brought many inquiries from about the country to the local lodge of the Metal Polishers unions. That the strike is not off and there is little prospects of it's soon being off is shown in the following reply being sent over the country by the local union :: To the Officers and Members of Organ
 ized Labor, Particularly to the Mem
 bers of the Metal Polishers Int. Union. Dear Sirs and Brothers =
 The Secretary of Metal Polishers Union, No. 25, having received several communications within the last few months hequesting information relative to the situation at the Winchester Re- beating Arms Co.,; the Local deems it necessary to issue a circular letter, ac- quainting the members of Organized La bor that the unfriendly relations that ex- isted between the members of Organized Labor and the Winchester Corporation at the time of the Metal Polishers Strike continues undiminished by the lapse of time. Today this company is and always has been unfair to Organized Labor.
 The Metal Polishers employed by this Company speeded up to the limits of hu- man possibilities, no fear of being in J% i them. In return for their efforts they were granted the smallest wage paid for this kind of work of other Employers.
 Realizing that they were underpaid they finally concluded to request an in- creas from forty-five cents per hour to sixty cents per hour and that the prices be so adjusted on work that a competent mechanic could earn at least seventy-flve cents an hour piece-work. Their re- quest was rejected without consideration or the justification of their claim. The COmpany's refusal meant either a back down on the part of the men or a strike They choose to strike to compe1l if pos sble the recognition of this giant Cor poration, their fair claim to unjust com pensation for labor performed
 Every honorable effort has been put forth to compose our trouble in vain. Our International Officers have left no stone unturned to make possible the ed justment of this dispute without avail. United States Counciliaters rendered whatever aid they could in the matter with the same unfortunate results, the company remaining absolutely dea ito all appeals for fair play.
 The Metal Polishers have conducted this strike in a most aggressive and de- termined manner They have sought and secured the assistance of other Organ izations for which we feel grateful and here so acknowledged The American Federation of Labor in Convention took cognizance of this Corporations deadly antagonsm to Labor Unians and placed it on it's Unfair List

 Tt is not the humor of that situa- tion," said Rabbi Schulman, but it's seriousness, that suggested my theme. 1 am not criticising the judge. On the contrary, 1 think his procedure very helpful.
 If, on the other hand, the drinking g of liquor is to be made criminal by law and, on the other hand, we get such examples in high places of treat ing the law with good-natured con tempt and indifference, there is some thing radically wrong in such a situa- ton; and this situation Is no mean factor in causing the growing disre- spect for law in our land"
 Rabbi Schulman said that the levity with which the people regard pro- hibition legislation had undermined not only that law but all laws.
 If the disrespect for law is not to groW," he continued, "the common sense of the American people should assert itself and the statute for en- forcing prohibition should be so modified by liberal interpretation of what is meant by intoxicating drinks as 10 make possible the legal sale and consumption of light wines and beer.
 Discussing the ethics and the psy- chology involved in the application o1 the principle that ''the best way to abolish an unpopular law is to enforce it strictly, Rabbi Schulman said:e
 "Certainly, in free, self-governing democracy, it is peculiar character istiC of law that it's enforcement will bring about a revulsion of feel ing against it. Such an argument be- trays the weakness of the law itself

CITY TAKES OVER ITS TROLLEY LINES
 TO STOP STRIKE
Workers Demands Town Does So.

Montevideo, Uruguay, Feb. 3.-The city authorities took possession of the Capitals two street car companies and will operate the lines, which have been idle since early this month due to a strike of the employees for higher wages. This action followed refusal of the managers of the two com panicS, La Comercial and La Trans atlantica, to reply favoEably to the Municipal Councils ultimatum that the lines resume operation under con trol of municipal official and grant the employees demands,
 Municipal officials and police seized the managers offices, which were turned over without resistance, the managers having failed to receive in structionS in answer to their queries 10 the dircctorates of the companies in London and Barcelona.

 Washington, D. C., Feb. 3-Forty- two per cent. of the wealth created by manufacture i'll the United States in 1919 represented wages The value added by manufacture was $25,ooo, 900, ,ooo and of this wages totaled $Io, 500, ,ooo. The remaining 58 per cent. goes into profits, salaries, rent, taxes, interest on capital and depre- citation of machinery
 A study of the Census Bureaus statistics on manufactures which have so far been published shows that la bor's share of the returns from manu facturers has fuctuated within a small range since 1899, when the proportion was 4I per cent. In 1904 the propor- ton was 43.4 per cent. It dropped to 42.5 per cent. in 1909 and to 4o6 per cent. in 1914, the lowest in the his tory of the United States. The rise to exactly 42.I per cent. in 1919 IS re- garded as proof that labor more than held it's own in 1919. It does not prove that labor got more than either it's just or it's usual share because the proportion of wages was higher in 1904 and in 1909. Except for the high peaks of 5I and 48 per cent. in I84o and I86o, respectively, wages i'll the United States as whole have never exceeded 45 per cent. of the value added by manufacture.
 Since profits are not computed by the Census Bureau, it would be pure ly guess work to estimate profits to manufacturers after salaries, rent, taxes, interest on capital, depreciation on machinery, and other amounts had been deducted. It is obvious that the most tangible asset of wealth to the United States lies in the wages and salaries paid to it's workers. Any restriction of labor's share of the re- turn from productive industry is con sequently unsound economies.
 In New York State, the largest manufacturing center, the proportion of wages to the value added by manu
 
 at 3I per cent. since 1899. The larger states, such as Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio and New Jersey, have not fuc tuated greatly in the wage proportion since 1899 and the general tendency of any fluctuations has been upward.
 Fluctuations in the New England States - Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont-have been greater, but here the tendency has been toward a decreasing pro- portion of wages to the value added by manufacture. The remarkable feature of this group of states is that a drop of per cent. was registered between 1914 and 1oI0 In spite of this drop, however, the proportion of wages is in each instance above the average for the United States.
 The reasons for the wage propor- tions in any particular state are not apparent without close study of the industries in that state. Even then the reasons are often covered up by the Census Bureaus deliberate policy of Jumping figures for groups of in dustries in such way that nobody can possibly deduce the production figures of any particular corporation Wherever any corporation in state approaches monopolistic control of any industry, no matter how large the corporation may be, the figures for that industry classified under "all other industries"

JUSTICE JOB One
OF WHICH MUCH
COULD BE MADE
II. ". BreUer Points Out HOIU
Responsibility for Many
Mistrials Rests Upon Jus
tice of the Peace

How much really is there to
the office of justice of the
peace? Someone has said that
in one respect the office of JUS
tice of the peace is like Ford.
About all many people know
about it is lot of stories.
But Justice of the peace is
an important officer. The job
has possibilities. In rare cases
where a justice has had vision
he has become famous. 1t is
perhaps easier to achieve fame
as justice of the peace than in
any other place, for the job, as
a rule, does not attract talent
and competition is not so keen.
H. w. Brewer has a vision of
what could be done with the
Justice of the peace office. An
interview with him develops a
side to this thing that most of
us never heard of.
The justice court is the court
of first instance, as foreigners
might call it. 1t is the place
where the crook first touches
the law. 1t is the place where a
foundation is laid for the sue
cess or failure of justice there
after.
We make great fuss over
public functions in which the
safety of our property is involv-
ed; but a justice of the peace
las jurisdiction over our liber-
ties and perhaps even over our
lives.
One of the things which stag
gers people who think on the
subject is the frequency of mis-
carriage of justice in our super
ior courts. Probably not many
people realize that the founda-
ion of much of this is laid in
justice courts. Justices, not
knowing the law themselves,
are largely influenced by the
district attorney. Some JUS
tices are guided altogether by
the advice of the district at
torney's office and take no re-
sponsibility at all themselves
for judging situations. The
question comes up at the pre-
liminary hearing whether a
criminal is to be held for trial
or discharged. To decide such
a matter requires an under
standing of evidence and of the
proper weight to be assigned to
the same. 1t requires know
ledge of human nature and OF
that species of animal known
as the trial juror. A justice
who could judge correctly
might save the county. thou
sands Of dollars otherwise
wasted in mistrials.
H. w. Brewer is lawyer OF
many years experience. He
has been practicing law
twenty five or thirty years, per-
haps longer. He has been prac-
ticing law in Imperial county
for the past fifteen years. An
item in the Looking Back
ward" department of the Press
the other day brought out the
fact that Mr.. Brewer was can
didate for superior judge at the
first election held in the county
fifteen years ago. Mr.. Brewer
did not win because he had tied
his star to the fortunes of the
city of Imperial in the county
seat contest and just at that
time Imperial's star was not IN
the ascendant. Six or eight
years ago Mr.. Brewer came
within a dozen votes or so OF
being elected superior judge.
Here at least is evidence OF his
qualifications to be justice or
the peace. He was almost SUI
perior judge. He could easily
be altogether justice OF the
peace.

Che Jou Of
the True Spirit
Of Christmas

m RE you willing to forget what
"A you have done for other people
and remember what other people
have done for you; to ignore what the
world owes you, and to think what
you owe the world; to put your
rights in the background, and your
duties in the middle distance, and
your chances to do a little more than
your duty in the foreground; to see
that your fellow men are just as real
as you are, and try to look behind
their faces to their hearts, hungry for
joy; to own that probably the only
good reason for your existence is not
what you are going to get out of life,
but what you are going to give life;
to close your book Of complaints
against the universe, and look around
for a place where you can sow a few
seeds Of happiness-are you willing
to do these things even for q day?
Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and the desires of

ness and loneliness of people who are
growing old; to stop asking whether
your friends love you, and ask your
self whether you love them enough to
bear in mind the things that other
people have to bear on their hearts;
to try to understand what those who
live in the same house with you really
want, without waiting for them 10 tell
you to trim your lamp so that it will
give more light and less smoke, and to
carry it in front so that your shadow
will fall behind you; to make a grave
for your ugly thoughts and a garden
for your kindly feelings, with the gate
open-are you willing to do these
things even for n day? Then you can
keep Christmas.
Are you willing to believe that love
Is the strongest thing in the world
stronger than hate, stronger than evil,
stronger than death-and that the
blessed life which began in Bethlehem
nineteen hundred years ago is the
image and brightness Of the eternal
love? Then you can keep Christmas.
And If you can keep it for a day, why
not always? But you can eve keep
alone.-Dr. Henry Van Dyke.
