Calder. This committees decisions
must be unanimous, but subject to
the approval or disapproval of the

bly,, to be effective, must secure at

There is no provision for arbitra-

approve of an assembly decision it

matter. If the assembly persists in

workers must secure all of their

thing to worry about.
When child laborers> grow up,
they and their children, very many
of them, migrate to other states.
They take with them no heritage
save the bitter memory of the fact
that their minds and bodies were
made weak and sick by life-sap-
ping labor in: the pent-up cotton
mills. The supreme court has had
before it for more than u years
accurate information as to the ef-
feet OF housed-in labor on the
health Of young women and chill
dren, and Of their offspring in at
ter years. The security and
strength of the nation depend up:
on normal men and. women. The

Children anywhere within. the Dor
ders Of the United States.
Child labor, is as much of q
crime against humanity as was
chattel slavery. It is the old issue
over again. The courts are stand
ing in the way of progress, Just
as they did before the Civil war.
Their decisions give emphasis to
the thought that there is no hope
for. the solution of social prob
lens through legislation. Organ
lied labor has. solved many of them
by economic action. Possibly in
the end that course will have to
be taken in the child labor states
of the. south. It seems at this
moment to offer the only way for

The I. w. WIS and other Amer
lean sympathizers of Soviet Rus
STA who loudly condemn this coun-
try for having been prosecuted
under the law for alleged abuses
of free speech condone the Boil
shevists for protecting their re-
gime by placing restrictions on
freedom of worship, freedom of
speech, freedom of the press and
freedom of assem- blage. Indeed
they indorse the Communists for
prohibiting free speech, a free
press and public assemblage, as
they have done.
1t is true that police officers
in American cities and states have
frequently abused their power and
have wrongfully arrested persons
for addressing, holding or attend
ing lawful public meetings: Courts,
too, have occasionally overstepped
the bounds of justice and have
convicted men who were wholly
within their rights. Such Off
Gals are not good Americans.
They are out of place in a public
office. The remedy is in removing
them, and not in destroying our

be removed whenever the people
will it. We usually get what we

LIBELS ON DEMOCRACY.

The company union is a libel
on democracy. It has been set up
by anti-labor union employers in an
effort to offset trade unionism. They
pretend to believe. that it introduces
real democracy in industry by which
owners, management and employees
all have an equal voice in detefmin-
ing working rules, conditions and
wages. :,
Mr.. Rockefeller tried out the
company union" idea in his Colo
RADIO coal mines. The plan was put
in operation by Mckenzie King, the
present premier of Canada. It was
widely written up at the time of it's
Inauguration, but little has been
said about it since, and the reason
for the present silence is In the fact
that the union" failed to function
when it was called to the test. It
declared for wage cut. The own
ers and management supported the
reduction, while the employees voted
against it. A strike followed.
The meat packers formed a COM
pany "union" to take the place of
the union Of packing house en-
ployes, which they defeated in the
late strike. The public is beginning
to learn something about the work
ingsj of that "union.". They were
explained the other day in Newark.
