Unions Must Not
 Make Own Rules

Federal Judge Westenhaver, at Cleveland, has decided trade unions cannot make rules or regulations gov erning their own members The rul- ing came in connection with his ap- proval of verdict for 5000 against Sheet Metal Workers Local No. 6.
 It seems that Stephen J. Nalty pre- sented a transfer card from Pitts burgh There was very little work in Cleveland so the officials of the union, following an accepted rule, re- fused to accept the card. This was done in order that the older members of the Cleveland local might have the benefit of such work as was to be done -
 Natly then sued for $8,ooo, claim ing he was being prevented from working. He was awarded 5000, and Judge Westenhaver approved the verdict.

for considering these ideals as I pur- pose to establish that fundamentally the cultural aims of labor and of education are one-that as both are concerned with the development of the fullness of mans stature they have common goal.
 No one would, I suppose, urge that the appeal of. wages and hours has been the motivating ideal of American la bor As goals they are both inadequate ann insufficient. They do not even touch the main springs of mems action. The labor movement can't live on wages and hours. Nor is it probable that any great movement of the people could be sustained on the mere satisfaction of material needs.
 "Only this year your Executive COun- Gil has given expression to what 1t holds to be the essential religious impulses at the heart of the movement and has urged central labor bodies throughout the country following Labor day to orga- nize a labor week or series of meetings which shall be addressed by representa- tives of labor who shall give voice to the religion that IS in the American la bor movement speaking out of the re Egious heart and soul of the associated workers of America entirely apart from any ecclesiastical or denominational aus pices of association without antagonism to any Have you not Ill your procla- nation said, The labor movement fixes as its goal nothing less than the con- p1ete richness of life, without limitation of any kind. the attainment of the com- pIete ideal, in all its economic, ethical an spiritual implications?
 Labor requires fundamentally not a fuller pay envelope but fuller opportuni- ties. Labor seeks not living but life. But these aims are, I assert, the high aims of education and correspond to hu- man aspiration whenever 1t is nobly ex- pressed"

WORKERS GATHERED FACTS REFUTING EMPLOYERS CLAIM
 HE COULDN'T RAISE WAGES

By International Labor Nez0s Service.
 Cincinnati, O., Oct. 25,-How the workers in certain dining room and kitchen collected facts and figures that showed the employer was Ill position to pay better wages, Is told by Jere l.: Sullivan, general secretary-treasurer of the Hotel and Restaurant Employees In ternational League of America.
 Writing in the Mixer and Server, MT. Sullivan says that one of the local unions of his organization, i'll prepara- ton for the annual wage conference with all employer, one of the "hard boil ed" variety, made quiet investigation of the employers profits. The men in en, kept track of the number of persons served the amount received for each meal, cost of materials and quality of materials used. They know they would be confronted with the old claim that the employer was losing money and that he could not afford to pay higher wages, and they determined to refute the claim. The employer had been making this claim for years and had been getting away" with it.
 After the survey ha dbeen made, " writes MT. Sullivan, and all the data given proper consideration, 1t was dis closed that instead of losing money that employer was drawing down several times 6 per cent on his investment. He was knocked galley west when the facts were laid before him, and instead of crediting his employees with sense enough to gather the data, he, cussed his book keeper for supplying the information this, too, despite the admission made by the committee that the data had been supplied by his kitchen and dining room employees.
 "A moments reflection should con- vince any member that, unless we know what our city contains both as regards number of houses, employees, wages paid and cost of edibles or beverages, we are handicapped and find ourselves faced with te necessity of taking what is offer ed or else engage in a strike to secure concessions. When you show the em- ploper that you have an inside know ledge of the business, he may disagree with you, but he will respect you for be- ing live one and knowing something more about the business than that you are getting so many dollars a week and your board, and possess sense enough to stop at the cashiers desk and collect wa ges"

people of Fremont. with the an

others, under the name of Uncle
Jacob. he has made a general offer
to the people of Fremont whereby
he will supply them with coal at a

time protect their local dealers with
fee of 81 on every ton. He is of
fering Franklin county, Illinois, coal
for 50 ton. the same that is be-
ing sold by dealers for around S14,

ers, Braucht. offered to give them
81 for every ton sold, although they
do not have to handle the product.

that they would be satisfied with a
profit of 81 on the coal they sold
and as a result he came forward with
the offer to pay them this amount
and at the same time provide con
sumers with much cheaper coal.
