Gus Cantor, the
= chazan. The Won
derfully good qualities of Pincus
Cantor are more than 1 can des-
cribe but I shall always feel
sorry that he had to earn his
livelihood by being q Presenter
(chazan) for Israel. This, in
deed, was not a position suitable
to Pincus. AS is known, Chaz-
amin are not respected, as they
are really more musicians than
minister, and share some of the
frailties associated with their ar
tistic disposition. Numbered
ones among the Chazanim were
suspected of unchastity, yet
learned Prosecutors, Chazanim
noted for their piety and purity
of their lives, abounded in me-
dieval records.
AS a youth, in his fathers
house, Pincus studied to become
a Rabbi, but upon his marriage
to the daughter of the well
known Chazan, Israel Shkuder,
his plans were altered and he
also, became a Chazan. His
Chazaness, though, did not bring
him happiness and his greatest
desire was to free himself from
being a Presenter before his
death.
Pincus Cantor was one of the
few men who disliked money.
There was a custom in the olden
days that during the days Of
Chanika and Purim, the Chazan
would be privileged to go to the
various homes to collect money
for himself and this collection
was considered a part of his sal
ary. Pincus would adhere to this
custom only for the sake of his
wife and children, but upon
reaching home would bewail his
fate that made him earn his
money through "shnorring." He
believed that a man who is
chosen to be a messenger of the
people (sholiach Tzibul) must
have a clear conscience and not
be paid for his mission. can
visualize Pincus Cantor as he
would stand before the "Oran
Kodish" with his "Kitel" and
"Talis," on the days of Roshas-
hona and Yom Kippur, and see
him deliver the messages of his
people to God. Surely then he
was not thinking of the gains of
doing this as do some of the
Chazanim of today! He could
have been compared to an angel
who had been sent down from
Heaven to the people below and
was delivering their messages to
the Almighty.
Pincus, by not being Chas-
sid, spent a very sad life. All
his life was spent in fear and
worry, afraid that he did not do
his duty to God. He associated
with people very little and put
most of his spare time in study
ing the Talmud.
In the prime of his life Pin
Gus Cantor passed away. In his
death, the world lost a character
that shall never return.

X races oftimes are lacking

more than civilized life itself. A
certain standard of morality is
found among all the living; even
the most primitive savages must
have morals to survive.

the isolated jungles, even with
out the influence of modern re-

civilized people probably have
learned a lesson about the dis
astrous results of immortality
from some of the wild animals
or even from plant life where
they saw scraggly plants try to
put forth an unusual number of
blossoms. The safety valve of
morality was defective and the
result was death.
Millions of people who did not
heed the danger signal that
healthy nature always sounds,
have passed into oblivion. They
could not or would not learn their
moral lesson. They all had neg

HOW COMPANY
UNIONS" STRIP
THE WORKERS

Constitution, bylaws and agree

ney, stressing with legal seriousness
the hocus pocus of workers rights"
and the elaborate method of electing
representatives to consider industrial
relations with the president and off
GERS of the company" and giving in
minute detail directions for prepar-
ing the ballot and voting, to Ensure
absolute secrecy" as if to guard
against the ridiculous contingency of
the company "stuffng the box"
The hollow pretense of democratic
government suggested by the regula
tions for voting is forcefully exposed
when placed beside "the right to hire
and discharge shall be vested eXclu-
sively in the company and shall not
be abridged by anything contained
herein" That section is the key to
the economic door which locks out all
the high-sounding blarney about
workers rights, fair elections for rep
resentatives and power to negotiate
wage scales. Considered in conjunc-

tion with the usual provisions that
the company shall bear all expenses of
joint meetings, travelling expenses of
workers representatives and pay for
time lost attending joint meetings,
the sham is complete.
These are the outstanding facts in
the company union" which expose its
vicious hypocrisy:
The company does the firing abso-
lutely.
The company has equal representa-
tion with the workers in all steps lead
ing to change in the wage scale
governing the workers, and no change
can be made except upon the vote of
at least one company man.
There is no defense fund and can
be none.
The company union," therefore,
by defining the workers rights" and
administering them, renders him eco
nomically helpless.-Clerks' Journal.

stirred by the cry for a return of
wages to "the pre-war level" set him
self to an examination of wages in
this country over period of 750
years. He was fortunate enough to
be aided in this study by discovery
of the accounts kept covering the
building of the Tower of London,
Westminster Cathedral, Hampton
Court, and other famous public
buildings there. He found that 75O
years ago carpenter was paid 5
cents a day In 1913 British car
penter was paid SIS a day. 1t had
taken him $50 years to bridge the
gap. But in all that period wages
had not failed to rise, every fifty
years or SO, by 20 to 40 per cent
The wars of the Roses, the Crom-
wellian wars, the wars with Napol-
con, had invariably sent wages up
by large margin When the drop
came it was never below the regular
20 to DO per cent.

EMPLOYERS ARE
BLIND TO ECONOMIC
FACTS

New York.-In a recent issue of
Lithographers' Journal, Chris. Van
derveen, third vice president of the
Amalgamated Lithographers of Amer
lea, presents this interesting COM
parison of employers and employees
knowledge of economic subjects:
eve often wonder at the lack of
foresight shown by the average en-
ployer and find it difficult to under
stand his inability to foresee the ul-
innate hopelessness of the cause he
so stoutly defends. But there's rea-
son. At the best he is only trained
and efficient along the lines of con
Quoting his particular business, either
through lack of inclination, prejudice
or pure Indifference. He has denied
himself of the opportunities to under
stand the basic and fundamental
principles of evolutionary economics.
OF this he knows very little. Much
less does he understand the human
element which plays such an import
ant part in his industry; the gist of
his talk and comprehension resolves
itself into profits of dollars and cents.
Therefore it is obvious why Mr.
Average Employer becomes will
ing disciple of the master minds in
the industrial world and accepts
everything as gospel truth that these
peddlers of pedigreed bunk tell him,
without concerning himself in the
least about the why and wherefore.
with the average working man
it is an entirely different story. Not
having plenty, and mostly not even
a sufficient income to provide prop
erly for his family and himself in
spite of his diligence and thrift, he
searches in his bewilderment for the
reason and causes for his predicament
and in so doing the truth is gradually
revealed to him.

Early in the last century Thomas
Jefferson said: "The general spread
of the light of science has already laid
open to every view the palpable truth,
that the mass of mankind has not
been born with saddles on their backs,
nor favored few booted and spurred,
ready to ride them legitimately, by
the Grace of God"
The favored few, however, have
been demonstrated since Jefferson's
time that they are extremely tricky
riders. Solidarity of the mass of
mankind alone can establish the equal
ity for which Jefferson strove. The
union label offers rallying place.

pose of putting the workers at the
mercy of employers and thus estab-
fishing the very lowest wage scale
in every industry in the land. Col
lective bargaining done away with the
individual worker is helpless. And
this leads to the contemplating of
some funny" rights claimed or AFRO
gated to themselves by the "ctaptains
of industry They claim the right
of capital, yet deny the same privil-
ege to workers. When these fellows
set an exorbitant price on any COM
modify the public must use, that is
business; unless the public pays the
price set, it doesn't get the commod-
it. They also want to set the price
paid the workers who produce these
commodities-the very lowest price,
too and should the workers refuse
to accept this wage and quit work,
then they are said to be "on strike
The doctors have their organization
and set their price for professional
visits, etc. Should we advise the doc
tors we were not going to pay their
price, a refusal of their services
would be the result. Could we say
the doctors had gone on strike?
Why hasn't the worker the same
right to say at what price he shall
sell his services as the doctor, the
lawyer, the dentist, the butcher, the
baker, and the candlestick maker :?
1t seems the great american plan"
not only denies the worker this right,
but further than this endeavors to
place him in position where he must
accept a wage upon which he cannot
subsist.
The wage-earner must pay the
price demanded by the doctor, the
landlord, the grocer, the butcher, the
gas company, the clothier, halter,
shoe dealer and others; yet he, ac-
cording to the idea of the great
American plan" and "open shop
howlers, shall have no voice whatever
in fixing a price for what he has to
sell-his labor.
Think this over and see what con-
clusions you reach. "This is funny
world"-or isit?
