THE CLOSED SHOP.

This is an expression that should
not be confined to labor unions alone,
as it applies to business and profess
sional organizations as WELL
The merchants join the manufac-
turers' association for their protection
and the outside world knows nothing
that goes on behind their closed doors.
What would become of the bankers
if they did not join the Bankers As
sociation" and contribute to the
American Defense League?
If the doctor hangs out his sign
and begins praticing medicine without
joining the medical society, he is not
considered ethical, and should the law
yer attempt to practice and not join
the "Bar Association" he would not
get very far.
All of these are "closed shop" insti-
tutions, but when the members of
labor unions say they will not work
with those who do not belong to their
organization it is heralded as a crime
and the business and professional as
sociations advocate their destruction
by law.

WHY UNIONISM THRIvES.

AS an Individual the working man
is just as helpless as sapling in a
tempest. He may say that he intends
to work for whom he pleases and for
as many hours as he pleases, and he
may feel that he has the moral right
to do so, but he has not.
And then, again, he should know
as he will, sooner or later, perhaps
when it is too late, that he must ask
his employer for leave to work for
what he chooses to pay, and for as
many hours as he desires.
Organized labor has been able
through united action and collective
bargaining, to shorten the work day,
raise wages, and in many ways i'm
prove the conditions of the worker;
it has prevented reduction in their
pay; it has made homes better; it has
secured better clothes, better food,
more comforts, and has made the shop,
factory and mine better place in
which to work.
Organized labor has been the fight
ing force in state legislatures and in
congress not only for labor, but for
all men; it has compelled the passage
of laws to protect the health of the
workers; to take children from :he
mill and factory, and place them in
school; to limit the hours of labor for
women and fix the wages above liv-
ing wage; to prevent the loss of lives
and limbs; and to compel payment for
injuries.

BILLIONS IN TAX EXEMPTIONS.

Sixteen billion dollars worth of tax
free securities have been issued IN the
last few years. That is an estimate
of tax experts and statisticians who
are engaged in the hopeful undertak-
ing of trying to raise money for run
ming the government both by levylng
taxes and exempting securities and
still keep the secret hidden from the
people. But the hard truth is that the
government has got to function and
its functioning must be paid for out
of taxes. No matter how much
blather may be beloved by the tax
experts and the "stop-lt-noW-hells S
let-loose" exhorters for tax reform,
the fact stands out boldly that this
tremendous volume Of securities has
already escaped taxation, and thelr
holders cannot be reached by the tax
collector. No extended argument is
necessary to prove that these security
holders are not wage-earnerS.
Without leveling an accusing hngef
at any particular class OF patriots, IL
is a safe conjecture that these secu1l-
ties are held by persons, corporations
and institutions able to pay taxes
without giving up any of the neces-
saries of life or even foregoing any
of their normal comforts. The sound
ness Of this conjecture is shown IN the
annual decline of Federal income-taX
payments since 1916. In that year
receipts from income taxes from in
dividuals were $992,972,985. A fall
ing off in these returns to S73l ,372,-
O53 is noted for 1917. In 1918 they
were nearly cut in half, being $780,
247,329. This is a drop from 1916 to
1918 of $500, GIG in a form of
taxes which were originally levied
with the object of placing the burden
of taxation upon those best able to
bear it.
No account is taken by the tax ex-
perts of the natural increase in in
come taxes accruing through fortunes
made in war nrofiteering. 1t is likely
that these figures were too astounding
to include in their estimates because
of the possible effect upon those who
have to pay the war taxes out OF their
blood.
Nor do the tax experts consider
the relation between the decline in
individual income taxes and the in
crease in taX-exempt securities. In
view Of the issuing of these tax
exempt securities at time when the
ratio of individual income taxes was
being increased, and great fortunes
were being piled up by war contracts,
it is a reasonable presumption that
the securities exempt from taxation
were issued with the object of permit
ting persons of large means to invest
in them and at the same time to es-
cape their just payment of the war
debt
No matter what may be done in the
future regulating or prohibiting the
issuance of tax-emept securities, the
taxes which should have been paid
by the holders of the securities al
ready exempt have been shifted, and
will continue to be shifted, from these
who are best able to pay to those who
are least able to pay.
Stated in plain terms, sixteen bill
lions of taX-eXempt securities are
taxes lifted from the rich and put up
on the poor. The poor must pay them
for they are at the end of the burden
bearing line.

DIVIDING THE PRODUCERS

"Big Business" is endeavoring to
drive a wedge between the two great
groups of producers-the men who
work on the farms and the men who
work in the mines, the factories, and
on the railroads.
1t realizes that the coalition of these
mighty groups for economic and po-
litical action would end the rule of
special privilege in this country.
Just now "Big Business" is concen-
trating it's efforts on the farmers in
an attempt to prejudice them against
the city workers.
"My Investigations have convinced
me that semiskilled labor in industry
is now receiving from $3.50 to 5000
month";" said Senator McCumber of
North Dakota-faithful follower of
the "Old Guard"-in a recent speech
in which he proclaimed himself a
friend of the farmer"
Of course, the statement is without
foundation in fact. Comparatively
few skilled workers are earning $3.50
to 5000 a month";" and "semi-skilled"
labor can not hope for such compen-
sation. Skilled and semiskilled by the
thousands are walking the streets
seeking work.
Senator McCumber wants the farm
ers to forget how they have been
robbed by the packers, the elevators,
the railroads, and the commission
men and to accept the theory that by
reducing the income of the Industrial
workers they can make themselves
prosperous.
This is the doctrine preached by the
secretary of agriculture, by those ag-
ricultural papers which permit their
advertisers to control their editorial
columns, and by the United States
Chamber of Commerce and other
propagandists of "Big Business"
We have too much faith in the
sound common sense of the farmers
to believe that the movement will be
successful to an appreciable degree.
Thinking men must see that the in
terests of producers are identical.
They are exploited by the same forces,
and the only way they can secure
what is justly theirs is to join forces
for the common good.

A MODEL LUMBER CAMP.

The famous logging camp owned
by Henry Ford at Sidnaw, Mich, is
operated differently and far better
for the employees than any similar
camp anywhere in the world, being
made up of a number of small houses
equipped with electric lights, steam
heat, shower baths and double deck
steam beds. All the hauling is done
by tractors, the lumber jacks work
eight hours a day and the minimum
wage is $3.50 per daV.

"RELIEVING" THE FARMERS

The United tSates government has
been relieving" the farmers and
stockmen by lending them money
through the banks.
Secretary of the Interior Fall, just
back from the West, tells how the
system works.
The banks get the money from the
government, or from the Federal Re-
serve system-which is the same
thing-for 519 per cent. Then they
loan it to the farmers and stockmen
at 8 and 10 per cent PLUS A COM
MISSION, and there is no limit to
the commission.
That's was always happens when
the government attempts to do bust
ness through a middleman.

Labor Lining Up 100 Per Cent.

Seattle = Laborers employed by
contractors on city street work are
being lined up 100 per cent in Build
ing Laborers Local 242 as the result
of constructive work achieved by the

city was being violated by private
contractors on city work. The legal
bureau stepped in and stopped the
practice.

Big Contractor Deserts Open Shop

Vallejo, Cal.-An interesting fea-
ture of the "open shop" building war
in this town is the resignation of Jack
Ames, a prominent contractor, from
the Builders Exchange. Ames
stated that the scab workmen were
unable to do the work properly, and
that he preferred to leave the Ex-
change and employ union help on a
union shop basis. 1t seems probable
that his example will be followed by
other contractors.

REMEMBER YOUR FRIENDS

Patronize the merchants who pat
ronize your paper and help it live to
fight for you when you are in trouble.
The merchant who advertises in
other publications and refuses to give
YOUR paper any of his business
either doesn't want your business or
thinks you are ignorant enough to
give it to him anyway.
And possibly he would like to see
the "Leader" go out of business. In
any event you can ALWAYS recog-
nize your friends by reading the "ads"
in your paner and patronizing them.

THE TRUE" LOVE OF LOUIS XIV.

in-law decided Louis should feign an
afection for her maid of honor, which
would enable him often to be near
the real object Of his regard.
This maid Of honor was slender
girl OF sweet face and fine blood. Con.
trary to the usual conception Of the
vampire, she was q blond, with milk
white skin. and almost childish ways.
But the heart Of Louise de Ia Valliere
was that Of woman. and the king
soon found that the tender things he
