ANTI-STRIKE ADVO-
Gates ABANDON
FORCE; USE HONEY

II would appear that the slogan;
"Serviee to the public is of fundamen.
tai Importance has been substituted
for anti-strike demands.
The new cry has the same general
aim as handeuh legislation, minus
the iailing of workers who are em-
bittered by this denial of their rights.
The latest cry is alluring. 1t
soothes the deadened conscience that
ignores injustice and only considers
personal convenience.
The Service" term rolls lightly off
the tongues of hard-fsted employers
who use the cry as vigorously as they
did the repudiated "open shop" cry a
few years ago.
When discussing wages-with we'll
organized employes-the service" cry
is intended to deceive righteous men.
Then industrial autoerats affect an
unsefish pose. They insist that "sery-
ice to the public is Of paramount i'm
pOrtanee. The originator or this
strategy was a hard-headed anthra-
cite coal owner who professed TO be
a trustee Of the 0mnipotent when
organized miners were forcing con-
cessions from him 20 years ago.
On the ground that Service TO the
public j. Of paramount Importance
privilege asks labor TO surrender its
one guarantee Of living wa0e.
The claim that the state will guard
these workers does not change the
fact that they have yielded their
liberty.
While free with its advice TO work
ers, that Is all privilege gives.
Workers must serve, though they
may be denied a living wage, but
privilege closes the plant, not when
threatened by hunger, but by lessen
ing of profits.
If the workers refuse to serve un-
der these conditions they are held up
to public disdain by the same forces
that vote privilege "a good business
man. when the plant is closed down.
This is the line of action taken by
men who would shape economic
thought and social conduct.
Only when they want something do
these industrial autocrats assume
their Pharisaical pose. AT all other
times their motto is: We'll get ours
while the gettins' good" Then their
record is low wages, monopoly, wat
cred stock, and diluted production.
The organized wage workers are not
fooled by this "heads-I-win-tails- you
lose" attitude of these employers.
Labor, also, has a fundamental OBJ
lection to this hypocrisy of privilege.
Ii is not true that Service to the
public is of paramount Importance. !"
This, like other anti-union claims,
will not stand analysis.
Individual liberty is Of paramount
importance. IL is next to life, and is
so inscribed in the grandest Declara-
ton ever penned by man.
The subtleties of reaction nor the
sophistry Of sentimentalism can not
disguise the supreme Importance Of
liberty.
To labor is to be human. Man can
not be normal unless he labors. To
serve Is to live-if workers are per
mitted to labor as equals, not as in
feriors.
Respect Of employers and employed
must be mutual. Liberty can not be
juggled or jockeyed to the advantage
Of one side
Putting service above human free
dom is a "can't-strike" device. II

WOULD LIKE TO I'M
PORT BAKERS TO
BREAK STRIKE

Chicago, Aug. 23.--The bakery in
dustry is raising the shortage Of
labor" cry, and attempts are made TO
import European bakery workers.
Officials Of the Bakery and Confee-
tionery Workers International union
have received information from sister
organizations IN Germany and Aus
tria that bakery workers of these
countries are urged TO come to the
United States under conditions which
are in violation Of immigration laws
Ignorant Of the conditions ia Ouf
own country and unable to furnish
thei rown transportation, these men
are at the mercy Of their exploiters
from the first day Of their arrival" !"
says Editor Hohmann Of the Bakers
Journal.
Officers Of organized bakers in this
country believe that the Ward baking
company may have more than a
passing knowledge Of this attempted
importation. The Ward concern has
branches in many cities and has
locked out thousands Of bakery work
ers IN an attempt TO establish the
anti-union shop.

HIGH CHURCH
PASTOR DEFENDS
SUNDAY MOVIES

No. all ministers are against Sun
day moving picture shows. Scattered
about the country, one or two in every
community, there are pastors who
claim TO see more to the question of
operating motion pictures on Sunday
than mere Sabbath dessecration.
The Rev. Sidney f. Sweet, pastor
of St. Paul's Episcopal church in
Columbus, Ohio, is credited with the
following statement:
u REBEL at the tacit approval of
Sunday golf, which is elayed Sunday
morning and takes boys from Sunday
school while the churches object to
Sunday afternoon movies. Perhaps
the golf players are more numerous
in the churches.
why should not people who haven't
money enough to join exclusive golf
clubs, or to own automobiles, watch
moving pictures Sunday afternoons? :?
My conception of Sunday is that all
should worship God. Make the movies
god for every day and no one can
reasonably object to them on Sunday"
The Episcopal church is usually lib
eral IN its attitude to questions of
amusement and recreation. 1t has
never had disciplinary rules forbid
ding dancing or card playing or SUM-
da ygolf or croquet. As a denomina-
aon the Episcopal church has left
such questions largely to its individ-
aal members to answer. So have the
5p1resb9yterans and Congregationalists.
Inc Methodists, Baptists, Disciples of
Christ and smaller bodies have, in re-
cent years, side-stepped doctrine, and
a|elt CHIEFLY on questions of morals,
though some of these bodies profess
