JUST A SMILE OR TWO:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..


A scotchman, was strolling through
the market with. his: faithful collie
at his heels. Attracted by fine
display Of she'll and other fish, he
stopped to admire; perhaps to. pur-
chase. The dog wagged its tail while
it's master engaged the fish dealer

Unfortunately. for the dog, it's tail
attracted the attention, Of a num-

largest Holsters seized the tail and

'0pen Shop" Movement Dishonest

as employees only, not az members
or representatives Of the union. The
obvious effect of this policy Is to
make union mem bership almost, If
not quite, worthless. - ~
Why should men pay dues to tho
union, attend union meetings, and
undergo the other Inconvenience in
volved in union membership IL they
cannot use the collective power of
the union to make bargains with
the employers? They might as well
belong to golf, club or a society
for esthetic advancement.
In a word, this Kind of open shop
permits the union to exist, but not
to function
{ ''Open Shop Fraud.
Now this is the kind of open shop
which the 'open shop movement"
of 1920 and 1921 has had in mind
and has endeavored. by all sorts of
methods, honest and dishonest. to
popularize and to put. into operation.
The essential dishonesty of that
movement lies in the fact that very
few of; its promoters. and advocates
ever told the public frankly their
Kind OF open shop would exclude
collective bargaining with the un-
ion.
Some of us have recognized this
pernicious feature of the movement
from the beginning.
Everyone who has seen the "open
shop put into operation during the
last year, especially in the building
industry, has learned the true ma
ture of the "open shop" by actual
observation. -
Wherever it has been formally
adopted, or rather imposed during
the last year, the "open shop" or
the American plan, means no deal
ing with the union and no adequate
collective bargaining. Hence it is
essentially anti-union, anti-labor and
anti-social.

LABOR Is CHALLENGED.

The feature article in this issue Of
The Labor World is taken from
special bulletin issued by the Citizens
Alliance. It consists of q bitter TRADE
against union labor, by. l.. G. Harris,
the paid lawyer-leader Of the local
anti-unionists.
Union members will find, in Lawyer
Harris bulletin food for reflection.
He says they are not loyal to their
cause; that they do not pay any at
tention to "unfair" lists, and are
willing to buy where they can get
the best bargains without regard as
to whether or not firm is unfriendly
or opposed to union labor.
We confess there are a number Of
union men of the kind pictured by
Duluth s chief enemy Of union labor.
The fact that he has discovered our
weakness in one respect should serve
to make US all better. union men and
more loyal to our cause, a cause which
he would destroy if he could.
Our weakness lies in the fact that
we have not organized our purchasing
power as we have our producing pow.
er. That is our next task, and one
that must be undertaken at once, since
the "bird of passage' on the other
side has thrown down his challenge
to union labor.
If union men and their families,
numbering $4,000 people in Duluth,
could get into the habit Of purchas-
ing union-made articles more liberal
~ than they do, and should confine
their patronage to friendly merchants,
the Citizens Alliance would not linger
long here, and our friend Harris would
be driven back to- his law practice: in
short order: The "open shoppers' will
not be hard to defeat when the work
ers once learn of their tremendous
power as purchasers
1t comes. with mighty poor grace
from Mr.: Harris to- cast odium on the
officials, Of organized labor, merely
because one or, two Of them arc o.

important work. They are attending
to their own business. They are, part
Of the trades they. represent. They
were not hired from the: outside, as
was Mr.. Harris, to stir up malice and
hatred between two necessary groups

GREATER USES Of BREAD
i WOULD CUT LIVING COST

"A scientist of nationwide reputa-
ton states that in; our national diet
cereals (Bread) could well. supply
SO per: cent and dairy products 20
per cent Of the individual diet.
Real value is based on what any
commodity gives. not on what it costs
in dollars and cents. y
Bread, judged by this standard
would be at almost any price or
cheapest food.
Bread has been called "the token
OF civlliZatiOn.' And the rapid
strides in progress which the West
ern world has made over the. Orient
is by many students attributed to the,
fact that Bread is a more complete
food than rice. ~ =e',''
Wheat is the cereal par excellence
in the baking of Bread of. the type
which the entire modern world seems
to crave: 49,
Half the worlG is dependent upon
the United States for wheat to SUD-
ply this highly nutritious food.
Such vast agricultural resources
make this country great human
ltaflan power In supplying the Sus-
tenance that makes human beings
in ALL parts: Of the world more eff
fitient. =,
But while. we are supplying other
nations with: wheat for their Bread,
we are neglecting golden oppor-
tunity to make the most Of Bread
in our own diet .E
One noted authority says that if
the consumption Of Bread in: the
United States were. increased even
up to IS per cent of the diet, people
would generally be better, off as to
health, and the. cost Of living would
be percentibly lessened.
We can well afford to learn food
lesson from the many European
countries, whose populations secure
fully 60. per cent Of their diet in
the form Of Bread. 49,. =.

A STATE CONsTABULARY.

Governor Preus, speaking before the;
convention Of county attorneys this
week: at st. Paul. repeated his off,
uttered opinion that Minnesota should
have a. state constabulary "to combat
it's crlnllnaIs.'
Isn't it strange how some men who
profess to know a lot about the fun
damentals Of our government can CON
veniently wander away from them
whenever it suits their purposes From
the earliest period: of our nation it.
has been held that the security of
our every day liberties depended upon
keeping the police and other peace
Officers within handy reach Of the
voters.
When the autocrat Of Britain lost
his power IN America, and the United
States government was established it
was thought that state police had
been banished' forever from these
shores: Not until the feudalism of
capital became fully entrenched. and
its power challenged by labor, did
anyone have the brazenous to revive
it here.
For more than 100 years the power
to select peace officers has. remained
with the people in townships, villages,
cities and counties. There it stoned.
Our forefathers wisely avoided 1odg-
ing with the state the power to main.
tain police force, with it's tendency
to ape after the military. The state
militia was encouraged to be used
only when civil authority failed. Why.
all this talk of state constabulary
now? Crime was as rampant follow
ing the civil war as it. is today. No
one then advocated a state police ''to
combat criminals. - It would not have
been permitted because the men of
that day had some regard for human
liberty, and they refused to entrust
it to the caprice or prejudice of a
state police too far removed from
their control.
The city police officers and the
county shcriffs are fully capable Of
meeting every ordinary situation that
arises in community. The criminals
Governor Prsus would run. down with
a state conste bulary do not operate
i'll the wilderness, but in towns and
cities having peace officers. Would
state police be any more successful
in controlling that sort than the citv
police7 ;s... ....E
But labor secs in the proposition
of Governor Preus something very diff
ferent than he would have the people
see. He does not want Il state police
to combat criminals at all. That is
but subterfuge. It is only a pre-.
tense to put the thing over. Hi, .rea.

A NEW LABOR BOOK,

Fresh from the press Of George H.
Doran company is new book en-
titled "What We Want and Where
We Are,''' by W. A. Appleton of Lon
don,- secretary of the General Fed
Grafton of British Trade Unions, with
an introduction by Samuel Gompers:
The value Of this book is that is
represents the sanest and most far
seeing element among the British
workers. Mr.. Appleton shows, spirit
Of disgust with the influence of catch
phrases and the lack Of facts in the
struggle between labor and capitol.
Trade unionism is a powerful force
in England, much more than it is in
America. We have great deal to
learn from the British workers and
no Englishman is in q better position
t. know the facts than Mr.. Appleton.
He knows: conditions in England and
in other countries. His breadth of
vision and ock-bottom. basis, make his
analyses of the labor problem and it's
answer one Of the finest things of
it's kind that has been done. ;,
He devotes several chapters to. a
discussion Of the activities of the So
Ecialists, Communists and syndicalists
il the labor movement, and he points
out how they have retarded rather
than contributed to the: welfare and
progress of the workers. ! z. IN
What We Want and Where We
Are, should be in every American

CHILD LABOR SUNDAY,

Next Sabbath will be Child Labor
Sunday and it will be observed as such
by many churches throughout America.
The child labor question is as much
alive today as it ever was: Indeed
the present Debated condition of in
dustry has greatly increased the num-
Der of children employed. Cheap Ia
Dor institutions have a habit: of 60
ing to the cheapest market for their
employees. Child labor at certain work
is the cheapest that can be had. Some
times it is the most expensive: In
tho end at all times it is the cost
lest.
- Labor bureau reports from Wiscon-
sin, New York and other states indi-
cate that child labor is on the in
crease. In southern states it is uti-
liked in every operation from the pro.
duction of raw cotton to the finished
product in the mills. Practically
every child in the cotton belt of
Texas is employed in the fields and is
kept. out of school when it is in ses-
sion. Children are. employed. there
for IL hours a day.
America faces no. greater menace
than that of child labor. It hits at
the fountain-head of our civilization.
1t re<ards growth and dwarfs mar
hood; it prevents education and en-
courages illiteracy;: it produces weak
lings and breeds disease; it. compels
poverty and leads to crime. It .robs
childhood of its playtime, youth Of its
spirit, manhood Of it's vitality and
sends its victims to an early grave.
It empties schools and fills reforma.
tories and prisons. It weakens moth:
ers, stunts fathers and robs babies of
the priceless heritage of health.
+ Child labor is an Indictment against
our social order. It is the product
OF greed and avarice. It is a dis.
grace to our nation. It is not Der,
mitted in a political autocracy and
it should have no place in de-
mocracy. It is a crime against God
and its, presence in America is a chal
lenge to the church to join with labo,
iii wiping it out forever. The protest
OF the church should be made next
Sunday as it never was made before
