Wear the Poppy

4 MOVEMENT which should enlist the sympathy
TAand cooperation of Americans has been in
augurated by the American Legion. The Legion
is desirous that everyone should wear poppy
Memorial Day, May So 1929 as particularly fitting
and touching expression of sentiment. Memorial
Day, always day observed with especial feeling by
the wage-earners has been brought closer to the
hearts of the masses of people result of the
World War
The ideals for which that great war waged
have not faded in the breast Of Labor Nor does
Labor join in the slightest degree with those cyncs
and misguided mortals who openly or by ndirection
count the war loss So far as those ideals are con-
cerned
In that great struggle democratic humanity
kept open the door to- democratic development and
thus safeguarded free future for posterity. Had
we not waged that war and won humanity would
today be the sport of kings, the plaything of des-
potism.
This is the fifth anniversary of Memorial Day
since the great victory. The brave souls that "went
west on Flanders Field and on all the other fields
where the hosts of freedom met and vanquished the
armies of tyrants live in memory as vivid now as
the day they FELL There can be no perishing for
such memory. Whether they were kin of blood or
not they kin in the faith-the greatest tie that
humanity knows.
TO wear the poppy on Memorial Day is but to
give expression to sentiment that must overflow
the soul of every and woman who loves freedom
and of every man and woman who looks back in
pride to the splendid courage and devotion of those
days when faith was put to the test Nee

the question after he had given the
reasons why members Of the associa-
tion were against eight-hour legisla-
tion, and suggested that club women
should direct their attention to the
publication of municipal politics.
"Why the club women want to

would be if they went into politics,

STRIKES RESPONSIBLE
FOR ONE-TWENTIETH OF
COAL NINE SHUTDOWNS

Observation-Disclosures for coal
owners continue their public state
ments to the United States coal COM
mission without the slightest regard
for accuracy. The purpose, Of course,
is to create the impression in the
minds of members of the commission,
as we'll as the public's, that because
organized miners insist on the right
to strike, this is the cause Of all mine
troubles.
This strategy of the coal attorneys
will fail because 1t is not based on
facts.
Figures issued by the United States
geological survey show that for 20
years strikes were responsible for but
one-tenth of the shutdowns in mines.
This statement was issued February
4, 1922. The figures include 1900 to
1919, and afford a basis for an honest
investigation to ascertain what effect
strikes have on the coal industry.
The geological survey says that in
the 20-year period coal owners report
ed a total loss of l24,747, 1893 man
days through strikes, but the loss at
tributable to other causes was 1908.
$4,000 man-days, or eight and a half
times as great as the strike loss.
"To put it another way says the
geological survey, "in two decades
American coal miners lost one and a
sixth billion working days, of which
lO.5 per cent was ascribable to strikes,
and ae.5 per cent to other causes.

THE HEALTH OF
CHILD WORKERS
U. S. Department of Labor
CHILDREN'S BUREAU
Washington.

Twenty-Five states now require the
physical examination of every child
applying for an employment certi-
fcate, according to the newly revised
edition of bulletin on Physical
Standards for Working Children"
issued by the U. S. Department of
Labor through the Children's Bureau.
The bulletin contains the recommen-
dations of a committee of physicians
who were appointed by the Bureau to
prepare a standard form for use In
of children seeking to
enter employment.
Since the publication of the first
edition Of the bulletin, two years ago,
a considerable number of changes
have been made in the various State
laws with. reference to such examina-
tions, and the summary of legal pro-
visions which it contains has now
been brought up to date. One state,
Virginia, is said TO have advanced in
this respect to stage beyond that
of the other States, in that II now
requires the examination Of every
working child at regular intervals
during the years when he is especial
ly susceptible TO the strains of indus
try. Ii should thus be possible TO de-
termine whether the work at which
he is engaged is injuring his health
or interfering with his normal de-
velopment. In certain other States, a
child must be re-examined when ne
goes from one employer TO another,
but since he may remain with his hrst
employer until he passes the certi-
ficate age, the bulletin points out that
this is not so adequate a provision as
the new Virginia law.
In addition to the % States requlr-
ing a physical examination for every
child before an employment certifi-
cate is first granted, 3 others and the
District of Columbia allow the certi-
ficate-issuing officer 10 require an ex-
animation when he is in doubt as to
the ehild's physical fitness, but many
officers, il is said, do not realize the
Importance of this phase OF their
work. In Is States there is still no
legal provision of any kind forexam-
nation, even when a child first enters
employment.
III is a commendable act 10 safe

but for the life of US We can't see why
II is necessary that there De any

QUEENSLAND HELPS

Brisbane. Queensland.--In order

pie, the Queensland Labor govern
ment has placed on the statute book
workers homes act. Under this
act the workers can secure homes on
payment Of deposit of per cent OF
the cost of the building, and are al
lowed 25 years in which to liquidate
the balance.
The government also insures the
life of the worker for a sum equival-
ent to the capital cost of the home.
This means that If the bread

TRADE AT HOME

Communities grow in proportion to the support
given them by their residents. You cannot boost
the Twin Cities by trading elsewhere or placing
business in other localities that could be placed at
home.
Folks who try to save pennies oftentimes lose
dollars The home merchant is generally honest and
offers honest values for your money He can't
afford to be otherwise. He depends for his living
from the community and must give the community
what it wants at fair price.
When you are tempted to trade outside and
purchase "just as good merchandise at greatly re-
duced prices" you should think twice before buying
If you are "stung" by your home merchant ne will
no doubt be glad to make an adjustment. The out
of-town merchant is not personally in you
He is intent on selling you this once and probably
does not expect to sell you again He does not have
to take great care in preserving your good will
More than owing it TO your community to trade
at home, thus keeping your money at home, you
should give the home merchant first opportunity to
serve you, from sound economic standpoint.

LABOR Is NOT
A COMMODITY:
JUSTICE FORB
By Joan r. Ford
Justice, New York State Supreme

Justice, New York State Supreme
Court.
The labor question presents new
PROBLEMS unknown to the courts of
equity when our government Was
founded. Equitable rules sppertain
Tor the most to property rights-the
nights Of capital and the courts of to-
day persist in stretching those rules
10 crush labor organizations on the
theory that labor is Commodity
without the slightest recognition Of
tne human souls and the American
homes which the term labor connotes.
BY legislative acts labor has been de-
elared not to be a commodity or arti-
Gle OF commerce. Yet the courts re-
fuse to give recognition to this OBJ
vious truth.
The fact is that the labor question
Is In class by itself and should be so
treated by the law beezase of the
human elements composing il. That
this is so is indicated by the en-
ployers in numberless establishments
where all differences with the work
ers are settled peaceably because
Justly and where strikes as therefore
unknown. Ii has been recognized by
Congress and by the State legislatures
generally in the countless special laws
passed to regulate child labor and
that OF women, the hours of labor and
working conditions. minimum wage
laws and workmen's compensation
acts. Human rights, interests, and
aspirations may not be treated by the
law as on a par with bilets of steel
and bales Of hay.
l have quoted from the Daugherty
injunction so-called. Do not forget
that the United States of America
itself was the complainant in that
suit. And bear In mind that the Con-
stitution forbids Congress to make
any law abridging the freedom Of
speech or of the press. Also remem-
ber that the injunction from which r
have quoted was granted upon the
governments prayer, the application
of the Attorney General, without no.
tice to the labor unions or their men,
bers. There was nothing before the
judge except such papers as the At
torney-General saw fl 10 submit. Yet
this injunction was 50 issued which,
by stroke of the pen. turned into
crimes acts which before that had
been innocent and unpunishable.
l say it turned innocent acts into
crimes. 1t may be said that they were
not made crimes but only contempt
of court. To that ! answer that to
the citizen who finds himself in Jail,
it makes little difference what the act
is called for which he Is being pun
ished. Furthermore. he would be bet
ter of If II were called crime be-
cause then his rights would be pro-
tected by the ample safeguards pro-
vided by the ordinary criminal pro-
cedure which with exceeding care
protects the rights and liberties of
the humblest. Call his offence a con-
tempt and he is hailed before the judge
and without trial by jury sumnarily
condemned to fine or imprisonment or
both.
