their men either in person or through
their superintendent how to use ma
chinery most effectively" says the
American Contractor. This publica-
tion declares that "a lazy man who
knows how to make a machine do the
work for him can be of more practical
value on a job than one who tries to
accomplish every result by brute
strength
The editor quotes recent issue of
Industrial Management:
"Always keep in mind that mana
gerial ability does not consist in max
ing men do hard work. The Egyptian
slave drivers were experts at that
Managerial ability consists in teach
ing men intelligently to supervise
machinery and thus in making ma

chinery, not muscle, holds all the Sc
crets of cheap production"

WANT CLOTH LABELED

Salem, Ore-The Oregon legisla-
ture has indorsed a pending proposal
in congress which would compel every
manufacturer, handler, or seller of
woolen fabrics and woolen garments
to place thereon tag plainly stating
the exact percentage of virgin wool
and how much, and what other ma
terials enter into such cloth
Advocates of this legislation declare
that shoddy is worked over and over
again into cloth with just enough
virgin wool to hold it together. 1t is
claimed shoddy wool should be labeled
so it can be distinguished from all

same. Behind today's paternalism
would be every force that the state
can muster.
To urge the licensing or incorpora-
tion of trade unions is to revive the
old world ideal of government.
The new world ideal of government
is to protect life, liberty and prop
erty, to guarantee freedom to citi-
zens and diffuse education.
To have government sit in judg-
ment on individuals, to prescribe their
living standards, select their amuse-
ments and direct the rearing of their
children-all through the control of
wages--is a doctrine that belongs to
eastern Europe and Asia.
No true American would even sug-
gest government control of the indi-
vidual, or would class trade unions
with corporations.
The men who would revive this
kingly theory have the same mental
attitude toward the workers as did
the slave owner and the feudal baron.
Democracy is impossible where the
state dictates the lives and limits the
aspirations of citizens.

TRADE UNION CONTROL
BELONGS TO THE INDIVIDUAL AND NOT TO THF
STATE, AS WOULD BE IN NEW YORK IF
PROPOSED BILL BECOMES LAW
No Hopes For Bill But Agitation is Entering Wedge For
Eventual Trade Union Control and Incorpora-
ton, Thought of Advocates

The proposal in New York state to
license trade unions is of vital inter-
est to every organized worker. Even
though the plan be not accepted by
that legislature the agitation is in
tended to be the entering wedge for
trade union control and incorporation
Labor's opposition to the licensing
or incorporation of trade unions can
be easily understood if the funda-
mental difference between a trade
union and corporation is kept in
mind.
The corporation is an artificial thing
created by the state. Certain feat
ures of it are controlled by the state,
and in return for this control the
stockholders are permitted to limit
their liability.
Under the company or partnership
form of doing business each member
of the firm is responsible, without
limit, for the acts of the other mem
bers of the firm But when these bus
mess men incorporate their liability
is limited to the amount of stock they
own
Because of limited liability the cor
poration method of doing business is
favored.
corporation can not be jailed,
because it is not real The usual
method of discipline is to fine cor
poration, which charges the fine to
operating expenses and raises rates,
if necessary, to meet the deficit.
A trade union has not the slightest
similarity with corporation.
When corporation is regulated by
the state the liberty of stockholders is
not affected-they may not even be
aware of the proceedings.
State action toward trade union is
instantly felt by every member of the
union. The union is another way to
refer to a group of human beings,
possessing memory, understanding
and will.
If the state regulates or controls
wages, hours or working conditions of
one of these groups it controls the
Individual as certain as the black man
was controlled before the war between
the states.
Outwardly this control might be
less brutal and might be accompanied
by less show of force than prior to
'61, but the principle would be the

SAILORS
Narcotics Struggled in By Crews Through Violations OF
Seamens Act Provision Ruin Thousands OF
Lives i'm United States

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. Enforcement of
standards contemplated by the LaFol-
lette seamen's act would practically
eliminate the smuggling of narcotic
drugs into this country so far as pres
ent sources of supply are concerned,
according to Patrick O'Brien, legisla-
tive of the international Seamen's
Union
Newspapers are at present crusad-
ing against the drug habit but not in
any case thus far have they pointed
to the avenue through which drugs
enter the United States. According
to legislative representative O'Brien,
the great volume of narcotic drugs
that enter the United States are
brought in by Oriental crews. For
this reason most of the supply enters
the country through Pacific ports.
Naturally the Oriental crews which
furnish the bulk of the drug SNUG
Cling fraternity are non-union and
are employed because they can be en-
pIoyed at a lower wage rate than
white or union crews.
Conditions under which drug SNUG
Cling exists are possible only because
the LaFollette's seamen's act is not
properly enforced 1t is O'Brien's
contention, backed by thorough inves-
tigation into the subject on the part
of the Seamen's Union, that rigid en-
forcement Of the seamen's act would

1t is evident that the people do
not realize the danger this situation
involves, and the situation practically
all over the line seems to be beyond
the control of local authorities. Ap-
parently only small number of men
are doing the depredations. Many ap-
peals have been granted by the rail
way company for protection of it's
property, and some efforts have been
made to give relief.
1T will not be advisable or con-
sistent to make any more appeals for
protection, but the management will
take whatever steps are necessary to
protect the finances of the company,
as we cannot continue to construct
bridges for citizens of the commune
ties served by the line, to be burned,
and it is found necessary to annul
all trains until proper protection is
afforded. This action will be taken.
We have earnestly been trying to
operate the property but cannot, and
will not continue to pay out the earn
| ings to rehabilitate burned bridges. IT

PRIVATE GIFT GIVING
HAS UNCERTAIN VALUE

New York.-Former opposition to
huge private trusts, such as Carne-
gie's and Rockefeller's, is recalled by
the statement by DR.. Henry S. Prit-
chett, acting president of the Carnegie
corporation, that only the future can
determine the value of these trusts,
and that giving may do more harm
than good
DR.. Pritchett says college presidents
are now selected for their ability to
secure money and not for their schol-
arly attainments.
Several years ago considerable an
tagonism to these private trusts were
developed by citizens who made the
same points now developed by DIR.
Pritchett. This opposition was grad
ually silenced by those who favor tax
ing money regardless of its source
or of its effect on a community and
on the teaching staff of a college.
"The fact may as well be faced at
once," said Dr. Pritchett, chat giving,
whether in the public sense or in the
private sense, will in the end involve
a personal responsibility and a per-
sonal scrutiny
Somebody must sweat blood with
gift money if its effect is not to do
more harm than good, and this is
equally true whether the giving be
private or public, whether it be done
by an individual or by trust"

The committee of the Arkansas leg
islature which recently concluded
hearings at Little Rock is scheduled to
open hearings at Harrison immediate
ly. These hearings will of course be
held where the power of the mob has
been most effectively demonstrated
and where the atmosphere is still col
ored by mob domination
Despite the continued activity of
the mob rulers and despite the con-
tinued defiance of law, no action has
been taken by the governor of the
state to restore civil authority.

do more than any other single thing
to stop the illicit importation Of
habitforming drugs into the United
States.
Steamship companies which employ
Oriental crews and which by the same
token are the ardent opponents of the
seamens act, and who are largely re-
sponsible for its non-enforcement, are
in reality the main factors in the tre-
mendous and menacing drug business
which has ruined the lives of thou
sands in the United States.

Mob rule continues in North Ar
kansas. Operating under cover of a
blanket of surface peace, mob rulers
continue to dominate. Mob guards
still patrol roads leading into Harri-
son.
This mob rule has now continued
for one month!
At no time during the last month
has civil government been able to re-
assert itself and act independent of
mob policies.
The committee of twelve" which
has ruled the mob has not yet been
questioned by the legislative commit
tee, but may be heard when the COM
mittee opens hearings in Harrison.
A court of inquisition operating un-
der the name of the Cleburne County
Welfare Association now functions
for the committee of twelve" in that
county as the agency of the Missouri
& Northern Arkansas railroad. The
first plank in the platform reads:
"First, that we endorse the efforts

vice they have given us in the face OF
the opposition of the so-called strik-

justice the criminals who have been
destroying the property of said rail
road, and to assist the management in
resuming service on the road and in
keeping it in operation"

URBANA TO VOTE
UPON INCREASING
SCHOOL TAX LEVY
Observation-Disclosures

Ufbana residents will vote Satur-
day afternoon at the shenty's office
on the proposition to increase the
school tax levy from $2.75 to VI per
per 500 of valuation.
A special sehbol committee Of the
Association of Commerce has submit
ted a report upon the situation, in
which il says:
An exhaustive examination Of the
physical condition of the several
school buildings showed several of
them to be in a state Of very bad re-
pair. Conditions at Leal and Thorn
burn were especially bad and Thorn
burns location was considered a
strong factor against this school. At
tention is Immediately needed TO the
toilet facilities, especially those which
were found to be very unsanitary, im-
properly located and insufficient, in
Thornburn and Leal.
A careful study in increases in en-
rollment for the past 33 years shows
conclusively that new buildings are
needed at once. In comparison with
a standard number of pupils per room
there are at least 175 too many pupils
crowded into the grade schools now.
This is equivalent to five more rooms
than are available. The growth of
attendance throuout 33 years has been
very regular. 1t may be expected to
continue at the same rate, and If Il
does, there will be 800 more pupils to
be taken. care Of within the next sew
en- years. This is equivalent to nine
rooms in addition to the five needed

demoralizing effect of living in houses
such as those just described.
Because of the swelling of the
stream and the subsistence of the land
on which the houses stood, the level
of water in the creek was some 10
feet above the ground on the other
side of the embankment. The result
was. that the ground between the
highway and the railroad was usu-
ally flooded and water into which
sewage, garbage, and refuse of all
sorts had been dumped, stood in the
yards and seeped into the cellars.
Sometimes the water reached above
the first floor level of the houses.
The cellars had been closed lest
some of the children fall in and be
drowned. In some of the houses
ducks were found swimming in the
cellars.
For over half the families included
in the study no garbage collections
were made.
Some families living outside the
borough made a practice of sending
their children into Shenandoah regu-
larly to collect the garbage, which
they fed to their pigs and other
animals. These children, sometimes
6 or Z years of age, and known
throughout the borough as the slop
girls, picked over the garbage, car
ried home in large pals what they
thought the pigs would eat, and lefI
the rest scattered about on the
grounds.

FEDERATION TAKES
ACTIVE INTEREST
IN LAW MAKING

The Twin City Federation of Labor,
through its legislative committee, is
making itself felt at Springfield.
There are many matters now pending
in the legislature that vitality affect
organized labor, and the local com
mittee, through its affiliation with the
state body, has been very active in
securing their passage, or defeat, as
the case may be.
A steadily increasing number Of
central bodies and local unions
throughout the state are taking an
active interest in legislative matters.
Nearly one thousand local organiza-
tions have. appointed local legislative
committees. During the past ten days
many resolutions and letters on legis-
lative subjects have reached the office
of the Illinois State Federation Of
Labor. The State Federation Is now
sending out special legislative bulle-
tins to all secretaries Of affiliated or
ganizations and to all local legislative
committee chairmen.
