In the midst of an unemployment
crisis which need not have been, it
was the voice and the counsel of la
Dor that made it possible for the ma
tional conference on unemployment to
survive and to succeed to such an ex-

a half of workers have been re-em-
ployed

adopted by the executive council in
May and by the convention in Denver

These are vidences of labor's tenn
per and spirit and willingness to serve
There is no intent to draw a bill
of particulars. The old year has gone.
The efforts of reactionary employers,
Of hostile newspapers, of courts, of
legislatures, of congress, to harass,
to undermine and to destroy, have
been unavailing. And even the presi-
Dental proposal for judicial tribunals
to arbitrarily force labor and all in
dustry under the tyrannical rule of
courts, will not succeed.
The conclusion, at the end of the
year, is that reaction has tried with
all diligence, and has failed to shake
the progressive, enlightened, construc-
tive purpose of the great masses of
our people.
The conviction is inescapable that
progress is in store. Our people un-
derstood too we'll the implications of
the proposals of reaction to be de-
ceived. Reaction can not win by log
c because the logic of the equation is
all against it. 1t can not win by
threats and force because the might
of the masses in their determination
to go forward is unconquerable and in
surmountable.
Lay on n,MacDuff," we said a full

not listen to the burden of the human

the masses.
Freedoms cause is safe because it
is in the keeping of SO many.
And so, at the dawn of the New
Year-1922 greet our fellow

stock dividend case.

stock dividend case
In the steel trust case the court
acknowledged that the trust was
merely holding company, and does
not produce steel, but if it is dissolved
the public interest may be affected
and the country's foreign trade may
be injured This startling position
conflicts with former theories that
courts are supposed to define the law,
while permitting the legislature to
function in its sphere.
In the stock dividend case the court
ruled that corporations may escape
income taxes by issuing more stock,
upon which profits must be made,
rather than paying the profits in act
ual cash.
Capitalists have not overlooked
these decisions, and combinations un-
dreamed of are now in process OF
formation. 1t is agreed that there
will be a reaction from this wild capi-
talization, but Wall street replies
after us the deluge."

JAPAN'S SHIPPING

Washington.-Com with re-
quest by the senate, the interstate
commerce commission has compiled
list of contracts between American
railroads and foreign steamship COM
panies.

of tons of shipping are carried in
foreign vessels, while ship subsidies
are favored and certain Americans
sagely discuss "the need to revise the

STAGGERING
Even to Wall Street Are The
Gigantic Mergers Now
Being Formed

New York.-The imagination Of
Wall street is afiame with stories of
gigantic combinations. Oil, steel,
copper, chemicals, machinery and to-
bacco lead in this movement, which
is possible because America controls
SO per cent of the worlds gold, thus
permitting the issuance of billions of
new credits.
Another factor is the Capitalization
of industry during the war and the
attitude of. government and the pub

most marked, as indicated by the

LESS TUBERCULOSIS

Washington. The trend of the tu-
berculosis death rate is downward z
says the census bureau, which reports
that the mortality in 1920 from this
cause was $4,000, or reduction Of
10000 from the previous year.
"Of the 33 states in the registra-
tion area whose rate for more than
one year has been recorded, 20 show
their lowest rates for the year 1920,"
it is stated. The death rate per 1O0,-

in 1919.

! (From the American Federationist)
The best that American labor can
pledge to the cause of progress for
the coming year is a continuance of
its best effort to promote that cause
in every possible manner by every pos
sible constructive effort. Labor is the
one force in our social life that is
compelled by its very character to
strive to the utmost always for pro-
gress, freedom, democracy and justice.
1t would be fortunate if other ele-
ments were under similar self-imposed
compulsion
The year through which we have
just passed has been year of con-
centrated struggle.
Certain employers greeted the year
1921 with the battle cry of destruc-
ton. They felt a sense of power
without responsibility to the social
entity. They felt that the road was
clear for the amassing of fabulous
wealth and for the establishment of
industrial dictatorship. Two things
were clear in their minds: To reduce
wages and to destroy the unions, the
voluntary organizations of the work
ers, in order that wages might be
permanently held down and in order
that working conditions might be de-
termined likewise in arbitrary man.
ner, to the detiremtn of the workers.
( Organized labor stood firm against
| this destructive movement. 1t has
maintained its position with such ten
acity and purpose that wage reduc-
ton has made but comparatively tri-
fling headway, while the detruction of
the unions has made no progress at
all. Labor is as united and as deter
mined as ever-and great deal more
so.
Labor has more than this to con-
tend with, however. The courts con-
tributed their share judicial power
has been thrown on the side of pre-
datory wealth. Destruction of law by
usurped power has continued apace.
Iniunctions have grown and multi
piled.
On the other hand the propagandists
of various political and industrial
cure-alls and fantasies have been busy
in an attempt to eat at the vitais OF
our movement. A great, vicious cir
Gle of destructive, un-democratic, op-
pressive influences has sought to the
limit of its capacity to destroy the
one great constructive force in Amer
lean industrial life.
Our movement has stood the test
with flying colors. No movement less
responsive to the needs of the work
ers, less qualified to serve, less able
to resist, could have stood so com
pletely unscarred through such a year
of conflict.
Through the year, despite the Sian
ders and attacks, the movement de-
veloped vast amount of construct

sure WAY TO GET
RID OF blAcknEAD$

There Is one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid Of blackheads
and that IL to dissolve them.
To do this get two ounces Of calonite
powder from any drug store--sprinkle a
little on hot, wet sponge-rub over the
blaekheads briskly-wash the parts and
you will be surprised how the blackheads
have disappeared. Big tIackheads little
blackheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads are simply mixture Of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores OF the skin-pinchng
and squeezing only cause irritation, make
large pores and do not get them out after
they become hard. The calonite powder
and the water simply dissolve the black
heads SO they wash right out. leaving the
pores free and clean and in their natural
condition. Anybody troubled with these
unsightly blemishes should certainly try
this simple method.

According to the estimate made by
the publisher OF the Burlington city
directory, the population of that city
is now 10000, which would be gain
of approximately 1920 since 1920, or
more than thousand people a year.
Such a gain does not seem at all prob
able, for the number is more than
Burlington gained in the entire census
period from 1910 to 1920 and, too,
there has not been such an impetus TO
business in Burlington as to call for
such an influx OF population during
the last two or three years. 1t is good
news that Burlington is showing signs
of progress and gain in population, but
we shall have to temper our joy con-
siderably below what the publisher Of
the directory would put it.
