DON'T RELAX THE FIGHT

Opponents of unrestricted immigration must never
relax their vigilance as the United States Steel Corpora

as determined to have the law modified so as to
permit great numbers of workers from Europe to come to
the United States.
The attitude of the Steel Corporation is we'll ustrat

congress may tighten present provisions.
At the time, the Iron Age revealed that the steel
interests have not given up the fight by featuring an art
GIe attempting to explain at length why labor from
Europe is needed in steel plants The article by George
walter of an Indianapolis machine company declares
that foreigners are essential the steel trade because
hey are the only workers who will do the hard work
necessary to the production of steel. He writes:

Having proved to his own satisfaction that foreign

argument as follows:
Steel wants and must have the foreigner. Steel is
and willing to deal with the strike question among

METHODIST PASTORS
PLAN TO STUDY
SOCIAL PROBLEMS

Members of the Illinois Conference
Methodist, which closed is Tooth an
nual session last Monday evening pro
posed the appointment Of a General
Conference committee to study social
questions
This Is considered one OF the most
important steps the church has taken
in recent years, ami il is expected
that the recommendation will be act.
ed upon favorably by the General
Conference when that body cOuvenes
AT Springfield. Mass, next May.
Heretofore churches have accom-
plished little more than 10 pass reso.

committee whose special duty Is tu

careful investigation into all Undue

through the churches.
Once inaugarated and successfully
funetioning in the Methodist church
such committee may preve an,lns
spiration to other large denamlpslt i.lils
leading them 10 make similar abpH7Tfs
mentS.
II is expected that a careful in
vestigation of industrial and social
conditions among the laboring classes
will result in recommendation of tie
churches to the national congress
leading to legislation that Is Of vast
importance to laboring classes.
1t is to be hoped that this com
mittee, if appointed as members Of
the Illinois Conference suggest, will
go so far as to study the social con
ditons in the mines, steel mills, stand
ard oil and other large industries,
and then be ready TO map out plan
of action in the interest of Labor
The fact that the Illinois Confer
ence has fathered this recommends
tion will have great weight with the
Methodist General Conference, for il
Is one of the largest and most in
fiuential of the Methodist bodies It
is understood that other Conferences
have already passed similar recon-
mendations to be presented TO the
General Conference in May.

"The City Central Labor Bodies

II have reference to the constitu-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor, the declarations and decisions

labor movement of America in the

The letter was addressed to Presi-
dsr, John II. Walker of the State
Federation, and was in part as fol-
lows:

tendance with you at the convention

me the kindness to convey to the
delegates TO the convention the earn
est hope for a harmonious as well as
interesting convention, and that the
conclusions reached may rebound to
the unity and solidarity of the or
ganzed labor movement of your
state with that of the entire country
SO that We may present solid front
not only in defense of that which we
have but in progress and advance
ment for that which is labor's due.
II | could be with you at your
convention would strongly urge,
first, the necessity for drive i'm the
campaign for the organization of the
unorganized to unite and federate
the organized and to see that our
unions cooperate with each other,
locally, in the state, and in the en-
tire country, realizing the natural
forces of industry and industrial de-
veopment, so that the fullest CO.
ordination and cooperation may be ac-
complished.
Rights Must Not Re Oyerridden.
There are certain inalienable
rights which belong to the trade un.
Ions which must not and cannot safely
be oyerridden. We want our trade
union moYeemnt as distinct as the
pillows and yet one as the seas. The
attempt to force by declaration or
power the unions to do that against
which their own true and best in
stinets prompt them, is an invasion
which cannot be tolerated, and if at
tempted can only bring about the
reaction that may not only weaken,

NO PRINCIPLE In SMASHING

The United States coal commission
refers to the union-Smashing policy Of
certain coal owners as a principle,
The commission takes this position
when it says these coal owners want
the miners union destroyed, and the
miners want "all the mines unionizel"

The commission has made many
startling statements, but possibly none
can equal the claim that union smash
ing is principle
How can principle be involved in the
smashing of a trade union?
What fundamental truth, what ele-
mentary proposition, what rule of right
conduct is involved?
All piffle aside, the purpose Of these
employers is to control workers and
secure cheap labor.
This is ignored by the commission,

REVIEW READER
TAKES EXCEPTION
TO HEALTH ARTICLE

A letter from a Review reader, who
objects strenuously to an article ON
preventable diseases which appeared
in last weeks issue, urges that the
other side of the question be printed.
Part of an article published by the
American Medical Liberty League, an
organization dedicated to the exposure
of alleged malpractice through yacci-
nation, is published herewith in order
to give the Review readers oppor-
tunity to decide whether they will fol-
low the advice of reputable physi-
clans, or search for further knowl-
edge on the subject before permitting
their children to be vaceinated:
"From a physical standpoint. tvs
nation will crumble and fall if there
is not lessening in the amount of
vaccines and serums used.
This wholesale pollution has
brought about nervous instability,
lack of tone, vascular irregularities,
and what else could happen, pray tell
me, but growths, cancers, or heart
failures?
Particularly note that vaccination
for smallpox results in a Emphatic
blockage due to ENGRAVING upon the
human of the cells and pus from the
bovine. The bovine cell multiplies far
more rapidly than the human cell.
Such a graft therefore must enorm-
ously overtax the human circulation,
in having to harbor and harmonlze, in
a degree, this foreign cell life. The
very thought of grating beast into
human is so revolving, instinct as well
as reason cries out against it.
Remember this: Six swollen
lymphatic glands in certain areas will
make one i'll. A dozen will put you
on your back. And fifty vital glands
blocked may cause death.
Finally: To have vaccination
scar is a reflection on the intelligence.
A scar following a solicited vaccina-
ton signifies loyalty to medical super
stition. A scar from forced yaccina-
ton is a brand, a mark Of medical
tyranny and despotism. would not
be vaccinated and take the risk of
complications for a $4,000 draft on
the Bank of England. 1t is up TO the
mothers of the land to take determ-
ined stand and they should quickly end
the compulsory vaccination Of chill
dren. Without compulsion, the hid
eous practice would soon disappear. "

BANK ENTERS
JUDGMENT AGAINST
COOP SOCIETY

The Commercial Bank of Cham
paign has taken judgement against
the Twin City Cooperative Society
in the sum of S3,311.3S. The action
is on a note given by the officers Of
the society.
The management Of the Co-opera-
tive store on First street explains that
the judgement will have nothing 10 do
with the operation of the store.
Business will be transacted as usual.
Members of the Twin City Fedora
ton of Labor should understand,
however, that if the society had been
accorded the patronage it deserves
from Union Labor such action would
not have been necessary.

SLOW DOWN
Is REMEDY
FOR ACCIDENTS

A member Of the Twin City Fed
Grafton calls attention to a suggestion
of the Federation leaders sometime
ago urging the street car company
TO lengthen its time schedule on short
line cars in order TO Obyiate the
necessity Of speeding 10 make up
loss of time, and TO thereby lessen
the chances of accident at dangerous
crossings.
At present the time schedule Of
short line cars requires that the round
trip be made In approximately 20
minutes from Champaign to Urbana
and return. In attempting 10 keep
to this schedule it is said that motor
men are compelled TO speed tbeir
ears frequently in order to make up
loss of time.
The problem may be solved by the
councils Of both cities enacting ordin-
ances fixing the rate Of speed at
which cars may travel, and placing
greater responsibility upon the street
car company for accidents that MAJ
occur.
Such ordinances would not prove a
remedy for accidents, but would
ODvlate the danger 10 great degree
Much relief may be expected as
soon as the University subway is com
pleted. The Illinois Central crossing
has been an incurable cause Of de-
layed traffic for years, and the sItua-
ton has been growing rapidly worse.
With the subway open the street cars
will not be compelled under ordinary
circumstances to make up los OF
time.
For several years it has not been
an uncommon thing to see six or even
eight street cars iammed in the local
ity Of the Illinois Central crossing
