SAY ABOLISH IT
LABOR BOARD HAS FAILED SAYS
LABOR SEC'Y DAVIS
Now Favors Cancellation Through
Department of Labor, as Board
is Incapable of Fulfilling
High Hopes of PrOpOsers

Athens, Ohio-In a speech in this
city Secretary of Labor Davis joined
the ranks of "second guessers." He
said the railroad labor board is a
failure and should be abolished. The
first Second guesser" is former
United States Senator Beveridge of
Indiana, who made similar declara-
ton a few weeks ago in Columbus.
Both now take the position that or
ganized labor has always held re-
garding government boards that are
intended to adjust differences between
employer and employed.
Secretary Davis acknowledged that
the railroad labor board has demon
strated that it is incapable of fulfilling
the high hopes of those who proposed
and supported it as means of in
dustrial peace on the railroads" AS
a substitute, he favors conciliation
through the department of labor.
When organized labor favored de-
veloping this feature of the depart
ment of labor, capitalist influences at
tackled the department because Will
liam B. Wilson, union miner, was sec
retary of labor. These influences went
so far as to demand that the depart
ment of labor be abolished.
The reputation of the railroad la
Dor board by Messrs. Davis and
Beveridge is out of the ordinary be-
cause the former is a member of the
presidents cabinet, and the latter
acted as spokesman for the chief ex-
ecutive in opening he Ohio campaign
when the rail labor board was referred
to. This means that the labor boards
future is about as uncertain as the
turkeys around Thanksgiving time,
because the anti-union element among
railroad managers is also hostile to
the board. These managers, led by
Atterbury of the Pennsylvania and
Loree of the Delaware & Hudson find
that their company unions" will
serve the purpose, and that the rail
labor board is unnecessary.

POLITICAL ACTIVITY A TEST OF
CITIZENSHIP

Behind a nations laws is the char
acter and intelligence Of its people.
One of organized labor's functions
is to develop the nations social char
acter and to diffuse knowledge that
will aid this purpose. 1t is necessary
therefore, that trade unionists be con-
stantly engaged in activity and agita-
ton on the political field as well as
the industrial field.
Wrongs that are buttressed by
privilege will not disappear will not
disappear on the passage of resolu-
ton. The collective mind can not be
changed that quickly Wrong must
be attacked continuously until the
conscience of the people is quickened
and the evil disappears.
In this process one election is but
part of labor's campaign.
Results are not based on the num-
Der of candidates that labor elects.
A more important gain, and which
can not be computed, is the stimulus
to justice through labor's vigorous
canvas for support of it's principles
and its appeal to the intelligence OF
the electorate.
The present agitation against gov
ernment by injunction illustrates this
point. More people are acquainted
with the injunction evil than ever be-
fore because of labor's challenge tC
and expose of the Wilkerson writ.
An intelligent public opinion is ir-
resistible. 1t is power greater thar
thousand Niagaras. Labor should
strive to unleash this force wherever
possible.
A trade unionist alert to the patient
work necessary to develop a solid pub
lie opinion in just cause; who knows
the forces that would thwart one who
would enter this field, and who dog
gedly sets himself to that task is ar
effective foe to privilege and greed.
That trade unionist can not be dis
couraged. He knows his progress will
be slow, but when public opinion is
finally aroused, his reward will be
correspondingly great.
Trade unionists should distinguish
between the politics of the privilege
, hunter, partisan spokesman and office
seeker from politics in it's profound
sense.
Politics should be the art of govern

PRISON TERMS FOR JUDGES

While the big cities are inundated
with "crime waves" and many judges
are seeking to "stamp out crime" with
savage sentences, Thos. Mott Osborne,
noted ex-warden of Sing Sing and
Auburn prisons and Portsmouth naval
penitentiary suggests the one way in
which crime can be reduced-not by
striking blindly at the results, but by
removing the causes. Osborne is the
most successful prison warden in the
country, and knows what he is talk
ing about when he says:
every judge Of a criminal court
should go to prison for at least a
month before he begins his judicial
duties. Every district attorney should
go for six months before takin~ of
fce."
Osborne himself served time in all
the prisons where he has been warden.
Unknown to prisoners or guards, he
went through the mill and found what
was On the criminals mind. He says
of this experience:
"When | entered Auburn prison in
New York | wrote down my crime as
Ignorance and Indifference | spent
a week as an ordinary prisoner. | was
not allowed to talk unless spoken to
by guard. Have you any idea what
that means over a period of time I?
At table | was not allowed to turn
my head. Once did | glance along
the table at my fellow prisoners and
was rebuked for it. | spent fourteen
hours in the punishment cell, where
prisoners are allowed one gill of water
and one slice of bread every twenty
four hours. That policy of silence in
those punishment cells now prevails
in most American prisons. Yet we
Americans think We have made strides
in prison reform. Strides, indeed; we
have made hai-step.
"To improve the criminal he must
be given more freedom in prison, free
dom to exercise and build up the sense
of responsibility that is his great
deficiency. Capital punishment, iron
discipline and strict confinement
spring from society's ignorance and
fear. You can't scare people into
virtue"
Normal men are not brutal OF
vicious by nature. Mental tests of
"incorrigibles" shows that the great
majority are feeble-minded. FOR the
rest, societv makes more criminals
than it cures.
We favor prison terms for judges
because we have seen the inside of
several county and State prisons
not, however, as nermanent guests.
But short visit is quite enough to
convince one that human beings can
not be "scared into virtue"
By the way, what are prison con-
ditions like in your town?

VOTE FOR KLEIN

The office of Judge of the Supreme
Court of Ohio (short term) has been
overlooked. No nominations have been
made for it. Consequently, there will
be blank space on the Judicial Ballot
in which voters-men and women
can write in the name they prefer and
place an X mark before it.
In view of this oversight, Labor is
given a splendid opportunity of hav-
ing a LABOR JUDGE on the bench
for the first time in Ohio history, by
placing a man of their own kind in
that high office.
Nicholas Klein, who for upwards Of
fifteen years has been labor's repre-
sentative in the courts of Cincinnati
and Hamilton county, and who is now
in the United States courts for the
Norfolk and Western strikers, is
being boosted for that position by the
Cincinnati Labor bodies.
In order to secure his election it
will be necessary to write the name
nicholas Klein" in the blank space
provided for that purpose on the
Judicial Ballot and place the X mark
before it.
1t is high time for us to have our
own people on the bench! No politics
and real chance of electing Nicholas
Klein! Pass the word along. Keep
the name before the people

ment, and government should assure
equal justice to ALL
AS we receive from our trade unions
only in proportion to the energy and
intelligence we put into them so will
we receive from government those
values that our character and intel
ligence on the political field justify.

Plan for U. S. Development Of
Muscle Shoals Agreed Upon

Washington, May 27.-(By A. P)
A proposal for development of the
governments nitrate and power
projects at Muscle Shoals, Ala, was
finally agreed upon today by the
house military committee, after more
than three months continuous in
vcstigation and study of the offers
made by Hens6 Ford, the Alabama
Power company, Frederick Engs-
trum and Charles L. Parsons.
While the proposal was held in
strictest confidence by the commit
tee with regard to its various pro-
visions relating to development of
the projects, it was learned that the
Gorgas. Ala, steam plant was elm
mated from the property to be dis
posed of with Muscle Shoals. The
committee plan in other respects
follows closely to the terms offered
by Henry Ford.
A copy of the committees draft
was given to w. B. Mayo, chief en-
gineer for Mr.. Ford, who said he
would leave here today for Detroit.
The purpose Of his visit, it was ex-
planned, was to confer with the De-
troit manufacturer and ascertain
whether Mr.. Ford was willing to ac-
cept the terms laid down by the COM
mittee. After the conference Mr..
Mayo said he would return here to
give the committee Mr.. Ford's
answer,
