Make available for the tourist the
maximum amount of Wisconsin's
scenery and spots of historic in
terest.
The tendency is to send the
motorists over few routes com
posed of state trunk highway de-
signated by numerals. The traveller
has little idea of what he is to see
and none at all of what he is missing
10 or 20 miles to the right or the left
of him He watches his road book,
picks up what he can in sightseeing
and has the feeling that he has gone
along in company with a lot of other
motorists.
The numerals for designating
roads are all right 1t is the best
system yet devised But now that
the roads are numbered, why not
work the combinations into trails,
each trail bearing significant
name with literature telling the
tourist just what he may expect to
see? Then he can choose his trail
ntelligently.
That has been done in three or
four cases, with good results. There
IS the Flambeau route, the Bad AK
trail and the Kickapoo valley tour.
Why not do it in many more cases

Picketing is Upheld
By Seattle Judge

Seattle-The st. Germain decision
in this state, few years ago, which
outlawed all picketing, is now set
aside by Judge French of this city,
who refused to enjoin amusement
trades from picketing several anti
union theaters.
The court indicated a belief that
judges have been going too far with
their writs, and while he maintains
the principle of the vicious labor in
junction, he lets it be known that this
weapon against strikers should be
used most sparingly, and then only
after hearings have been held, and at
which both sides are represented.
Judge French's ruling was declared
by William Short, president of the
state federation of labor, to be the
first clear-cut decision by a Washing
ton judge properly interpreting the
state law passed by the 1919 legisla-
ture along the lines of the Clayton act.
"The legislatures act of 1919 gives
us the right to do collectively what
we have right to do as individuals
Judge French sets this fact forth very
clearly" said President Short.

Anti-UniOn Attack
Beaten in St. Louis

st. Louis -Panic-stricken anti-union
employers in this city view the sting
ing defeat organized labor has adj
ministered to them this year. Scores
of unions have raised wages and i'm
proved working conditions, despite
last years claim of these employers
that the anti-union shop would be
universal by the end of 1923.
One of the leaders of this attack
was the St. Louis lumber trades ex-
change, consisting Of lumber and
building material companies. This
crowd professed interest in the re-
ducing of building costs. Recently
the state supreme court ordered the
exchange dissolved because it was a
conspiracy to raise prices and stifie
competition. Fines as high as $10,-
900 were assessed against 10 men,
bers of the exchange.
At the trial it was proven that
these union smashers, and not the
unions, are responsible for high prices

Conditions are Bad
So Engineers Strike

Roanoke, Va.-Engineers and fire
men employed on the Virginian rail-
road ignored orders of the United
States railroad labor board and sus-
pended work after they failed to adj
just several grievances. The road is
largely a coal-carrying road and runs
from the West Virginia fields to
Hampton Roads.
Between 400 and 500 employees are
involved in the strike, which was
caused, the. workers declare, because
of "the drastic discipline and intoler-
able conditions forced on. them by
Vice President Hix." One of the major
grievance, the workers say, is they
are forced to use two and three huge
Mallet engines on slow tonnage trains
through numerous tunnels, which sub
jects them to hardships ad jeopardizes
their lives.

On November Is, 1881, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor came into
existence, and on that day, the forty
second anniversary of that important
event, congratulations were received
by President Samuel Gompers in his
office from many callers and from
distant points by wire and letter.
"Conditions today, after forty-two
years of effort and organization, are
vastly different than they were when
the American Federation of Labor
was organized" said Mr.. Gompers in
statement to newspapers.
"At that early date the wage earn
ers had almost to begin at the begin
ming in the effort to remove injustices,
many of which were the heritage of
the European feudal system and man, ID
more of which were the result of
ignorance and of carelessness of
human life.
employers took thought only of
wage earners as instruments to be
used as tools were used-to be used
and cast aside. Legislators gave no
heed to the needs of the toiling mas
ses. The whole field was a field in
which labor's contentious had to start
at the very bottom.
"Gradually abuses have been elimi-
mated. The twelve-hour day has gone.
The conception that a worker is a
piece of property, or piece of mer-
chandise has gone. The contention
that a worker is entitled to no voice
in determining the conditions under
which he shall give service to society
has all but gone. 1t fingers only in
the darkest corners of our industrial
order.
Largely as a result of the struggle
by the wage earners for a better life
for more freedom, for better living
and working conditions, for a more
adequate wage and for fairer op-
portunity, the United States stands
head and shoulders above very other
nation in the world in point of aver
age human happiness and human well.

"We still have our problems, ano
among them are some of the first
| magnitude. But they are not the
| problems of the early days when il
was necessary to fight for chance

speak. We have established funda.
mental principles; and the problems
of today are largely problems of how
to apply established principles OF
justice and freedom in order to con.
tinue the wonderful progress that has
been made in our country and by ou,

"In 1881 there were but handful
of organized wage eainers. Today
there are six millions of them, num-
bering in their ranks the finest citizen

Panama Employees
Must Pay Rent

Washington-The United States
supreme court has decided against
Panama canal employees who would
prevent Governor Morrow of the cana.
zone from charging them house rent,
and for fuel, water, electricity and
services in connection with quarters.
These charges were authorized by an
executive order signed by President
Harding in December, 1921. The SUI
preme court held that the order is
valid. Attorneys for the workers took
the position that the order set aside
a portion of the law creating the
canal commission, which built the
canal, and that congress alone has the
power to change the law in any re-
spect. The house rent for employees
and other features of the law were
inserted because of climatic conditions
in Panama.
There are about 5000 American en-
ployes on the canal zone and deduc-
tions from their salaries and wages
for rent and other items are esti-
mated at $5O0,000 a year.

"Most of the great contentious OF

Most of the important contentious of

WHO is A CHRISTIAN?
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Who is a Christian in this Christian land
Of many churches and lofty spires?
Not he who sits in soft upholstered pews
Bought by the profits of unhoy greed
And looks devotion while he thinks of gain.
Not he who sends petitions from the lips
That lie tomorrow in the street and mart.
Not he who fattens on anothers toll
And filings his unearned riches to the poor,
Or aids the heather with lessened wage,
And builds cathedras with increased rent
Christ, with Thy great, sweet simple creed OF Love-
How must Thou weary of Earths Christian men,
Who preach salvation through Thy saving blood
While planning slaughter Of their fellow men!
Who is Christian? 1t is whose life
Is build on love, kindness and on faith;
Who holds his brother as his other self;
Who tolls for JUSTICE equity and peace,
And hides no aim purpose in his heart
That would not chord with universal good.
Though he be pagan, hereto or Jew,
That man is Christian and beloved of Christ
