Aims of Unionism Are An
nounced in Lengthy Stale

NEXT GOAL OF LABOR Is
LAID BEFORE DELEGATES
Rescue Of Industry from
Domination Of lncompct-

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 1.--Devel

Comparable to our political iran
chise" must be the next goal of the
labor movement. the executive co1n-
Gil OF the American Federation OF
Labor declared today in its report
to the Federation's annual conveE'
ton.
Warning of the threat of state in
vasion of industrial ffe," the council
asserted that the hour has s.rrck
for a "pronouncement of the aims
of labor that shall more nearly ex-
press the full implications of trade
unionism."
"The close of the war marked for
us a turning point in human rela
tions,' the report said. and threw
forth in bold relief the inadequacy
of existing forms and institution.
Henceforth the movement for or
ganization OF the workers into trade
unions has deeper meaning than
the mere organizations of groups fir
advancement of group interests
Extension OF ffeeoom
"Henceforth the organization of
the workers into trade unions mi5r
mean the conscious organization of
one of the most vital functional elc-
ments for enlightened participation
in a democracy of industry whose
purpose must be the extension OF
freedom, the enfranchisement OF tie
producer as such, the rescue OF In
dustry from chaos, profiteering anf
purely industrial whim, including
individual incapacity, and the rescue
of industry also from the domination
OF political bodies.
"The largest freedom of action,
the freest play for individual initia-
tive and genius In industry can not
be had under the shadow Of constant
incompetent political interference,
meddlesomeness and restriction.
Through the muddling conflict OF
groups who still find it impossible
to come together in cooperation we
must look to future that must have
its foundation upon cooperation and
collaboration The threat Of state
invasion OF Industrial life Is real.
Powerful groups of earnest and sim
cere persons constantly seek the ex-
tension OF state suzerainty over pure
ly Industrial fields. Such ignorant
encrDachments as the Esch-Cummins
act, the Kansas Court of Industrial
Relations and the Colorado Industrial
Commission act, each a blundering
gesture of government acting under
the spur of organized propaganda or
of political appetite for power, are
examples of what all industry has 10
fear.
Hopeless Entanoisments
"Thc continuing clamor for extern
sion OF state regulatory powers un-
der the guise of reform and dodver-
ance from evil, can but lead in.
greater confusion and more hopeless
entanglements. Trade unionism may
lead the way for true progress, ev IN

ROADS PERMANENT

"What is the use of building great
highway systems, at an expense OF
millions and millions of dollars, when
in a few short years the freight and
passenger traffic will be carried in
the air"
The question is always being asked
by someone, usually someone who is
u~nendowed by nature with faculty of
thinking straight, but sometimes by
those who think, but without data
on which to go.
The next ten or the next hundred
years, will see enormous strides in
aviation. Mail, some express, some
passenger traffic will go via plane,
and much sport and travel will use it.
But no future development of aero
n~autics can overcome the fundament-
al fact of nature, that to raise a
weight in the air and maintain it
there, requires power, and that
power is an equivalent for value; in
our terms, money.
Therefore, no matter how desir-
dDle OCneTWlSe, no system Ol CTdlS-
portation which requires an expendi-
ture to support a weight, can COM
pete in cheapness with those in which
the weight is borne by the earth.
There will always be railroads, al
ways be vessels on the water, always
be roads and road vehidles. They
will change, improve, become more
commercial, more speedy, more safe,
but the earth will continue to carry
the bulk of the traffic, simply and
solely because it doesn't charge any
thing for holding up the weight,
whereas nature makes US pay, and
heavily, to hold the weight up in the
air, while VIZ transport it.
Those who build roads today will
not live to see the time when their
roads are not used. Those who bond
themselves for roads today viii never
see the day when those bonds are
OUT standing against disused high
ways. The airways will be increas-
used, but not for freight
