Jour NeD
Years Calls


f. yE7IS HE gracious custom of call
tEAgH ing on New Years day has
SAEE not entirely gone out Of
fSNHNSa style. 1t is one relic left us
kS4NH of time when the amenities
of life were more carefully
observed than now and hospitality a
grace deemed worthy of intensive Gull
tivation. So then, lay out your calls
and start 1924 in the spirit of neigh
borliness and the good old days
when Knighthood Was in Flower"
Put first on your list your aged
friends and acquaintance since we
forget and neglect the aged with pa
thetic disregard of their sensitiveness
and their loneliness. The line Of
least resistance with many of us is to
avoid contact with querulous old age
wherever possible, and this is partic-
ularly true during the holiday season.
Few children are forgotten at Christ
mas. but many elderly persons are
LEFT to reflect bitterly on the thought
lessness of youth and the fate Of the
sHperannuated through whose veins
the blood courses thin and slow.
So put on your best bib and tucker
and take your cane If you wear one,
and, armed with, say, half a dozen
red roses, make as many calls on the
'sshut-ins" and the veterans who sit in
the deepening twilight musing on the
days that are no more. Stay long
enough to crack your best joke, and,
since zone touch of rheumatism makes
the whole world KIM" do not forget to
ask after Aunt Mary's sciatica and
Uncle Johns lame arm. Make 1t a
happy, CHEEKY kind of call-present
your gift and go your way, and our
word for 1t. you will begin the New
Tear with every nag afying. Detroit

~1ooD-BY, Old Year, good-by,
IN9I bid you farewell tonight,
III And | watch you 60 with
bit of sigh,
But my heart is strangely
light.
For in my hands I hold
The treasures you brought to me-
Gifts more precious than wroughten
geld
Or gems from a tropic sea.
A friendship proven true,
A hard task fairly done,
And love which lives to bloom anew
With the light of every sum.
And you bear away, Old Year,
In your garments of trailing white,
An old regret and the ghost Of a fear
As you vanish from me tonight.
Good-by, Old Year, good-byl

We have been good comrades, you
and I,

Any time means no time most times.
A man who does nothing never has
time to do anything
He who has most time has none to
lose.
Nothing is more precious than time
and nothing less valued.
No reward can recover lost time.
Be always in time; too late is a
crime.
The time that bears no fruit de-
serves no name.
Life is but time; waste the latter
and you reduce the former
You may have time again, but new
er the time.
Take time when time is for time
will away.
Time present is the only time you
can be sure of.
None can be provident of time who
is not prudent in the choice of his
company.

This old writer here quoted, goes

the subject of similar benevolence on
the part of others, and to see this in

place, as far as possible in festive cir
cumstances."
The poet Longfellow, in one of his
prose works, has given advice as to
the attitude to take respecting the
flight of time of which all are so for
chilly reminded by New Years day.
He writes:
"Look not mournfuIly into the past.
1t comes not back again. Wisely inn
prove the present. 1t is thine. And
go forth to meet the shadowy future
without fear and with manly heart"

GOOD FOR SWEDEN !

Swedish organized labor showed that it is capable of
sound straight thinking in statement telling why it
would not send delegates to the Russian Red Trade Union
Congress.
After rebuking Moscow for its attacks on non-com-
munst trade unonsm and attempts to dictate trade un
ion policies in other nations the Swedes expressed the be-
lief that the trade union movement of each country must
be allowed to develop in its own way.
This is the viewpoint of the American Federation of
Labor and that it is sound is shown by the position
reached by organized labor in the United States Here
the of the trade union movement has been guided
not by conditions in faro Europe but by the conditions
which obtain on the North American continent
The voice of Swedish labor is not the only voice COM
ing from Europe which declares that the trade unonsm
with the conditions that surround it, The third nterna
tiona Congress of Working Women which met recently
in Vienna took action in harmony with American abors
viewpoint when declared in favor of the establishment
of minimum standards of employment such as the S-hour
work day. according to the needs of the workers and the
conditions existing in the respective countries.
Nationally and internationally" the congress de-
clared there should be minimum standards of work such
as the Shour day. but the method by which such stand
ards are to be obtained whether by trade union agree
en or by law or by both MEANS should be determined by
the organized workers of those countries according to the
economic and political conditions in each country There
fore the international Federation of Working Women de-
cares in favor of labor legislation for women in countries
where the organized working wish to use this
method to improve the industrial conditions"
Slowly but surely the view spreads that the workers
of any particular nation are best fitted to decide their own
course and that they need advice from Moscow as To
what is best for them.

The New York Leader, formerly
the Call, in passing out of existence.
refers to itself land others refer to
it, as a labor paper.
The Leader was financed by a COM
bination of forces and organizations
and the facts ought to be made clear
to ALL
The Garland Foundation, controlled
by Foster, Roger Baldwin and others,
gave $4,000 to the Leader. The
dual organization in the mems gar
ment industry Clipped in. One or two
A. +. of l.. uninos went in and gave
money. The Garland crowd, controlled
by Foster, Baldwin and others of red
and Greenwich Village pink persua-
sion, controlled. They picked the
editor, managing editor and business
manager. They made the policies and
spent the money.
The Leader came to the end of its
100000 rope in less than two
months. 1t is not only dead--it is
very dead.
1t never was a labor paper. 1t was
anything but a labor paper. 1t was
a constant and doctrinnaire opponent
of the A. f. of l.. That it was a labor
paper, that it deserves any labor re-
grets, or that it ever had any sincere
intentions of serving labor's cause is
not the case. The truth about the
Leader ought to be known, even
though it is dead.

ROARD OF CENsORs.
PROGRESS Is SLOW.

Defeat in Maine of an amendment
providing a 4S-hour law for women
and children shows how difficult and
how slow it is to make progress to-
ward better conditions.
Here was a proposal that by every
rule of humanitarianism and en-
lghtened self-interest should have
been approved by a big majority.
Yet the proposal was decisively de-
feated, only two counties voting in its
favor.
The Enlarged Committee of Asso-
ciated Industries, representing the
employers, bitterly attacked the As
hour proposal, making various un-
supported statements about it, includ-
ing the assertion that the passage Of
the law would put Maine a an al
per cent disadvantage with every 9th
er industrial state in the United States
making cotton and wooden goods and
shoes, except one"
Organized labor and other progress
sive forces put up strong fight for
the law but their educational cam
paign had not been of long enough
duration to show the people the real
benefits of the proposal. AS a result,
the people, especially the farmers,
swallowed the arguments of the re-
dictionaries and voted down the bill.
Someone has said that there can be
no lasting revolution unless there has
first been a revolution in the hearts of
the people. 1t is equally true that
there is small chance of making pro-
gress on society until the people who
compose society have changed their
minds. Only when people have been
educated to see clearly the benefits
of a change will they consent to pro-
gress.
Names action demonstrates that
progress is slow. But that should not
discourage friends of progress in in
dustry. They have only to redouble
their efforts and work with patience,
intelligence and sound methods and
they will bring about changes based
on the solidest Of foundations con-
viction on the part of society that pro-
posed changes are necessary to the
advancement of humanity.
