Surrounding cities who have
watched the progress of the open shop
nIan a, appned to the printing busi-
pa.. in tra Twin Cities may now have
gsssou te believe in the arguments
mt forward during the past two
Fear. by the Twin City Federation of
Labor The best that can be said OF
the open shop is that its advocates
succeeded in holding out for two
wear, against the practical and COM
mon sense plan advocated by the
typographical Union, which has now
nreved itself to give the best results
Ia printers and publishers.
What is true of the printing busi-
ness is true also of every industry,
and this will eventually be proven to
such industries as the Gary steel cor
poration. the coal mines of every state
and all other producing industries.
Collective bargaining is the most
practical method of obtaining results
that are satisfactory, not only to the
members of the Federation of Labor
but to the employers of labor and to
the public at large.
The return of the publishing con
Germs after two years trial at the
open shop is sufficient proof of this
statement

STREET CAR MEN
DEMAND INCREASE
IN DANVILLE

DanNille street car employees are
demanding a new wage scale since a
change was made in the operation of
cars. Previous to this year two-men
cars were in operation on all lines, ac-
eordlng. to a news article in the Dan
vile Morning Press. This year a
number of smaller cars have been
put into operation with one man serv-
ing as conductor and motorman.
The task demands a large amount
of extra labor and the employees are
asking proportionate raise in wages.
This the company so far has refused
to grant according to the report,
though the fare remains the same.
The new plan saves the company
thousands of dollars in wages for
merly paid to employees. even though
the raise asked is granted, and the
refusal to share this economy with
the men who are compelled 10 assume
the responsibility of a double task,
is a ground for a threatened breach
between the company and the en-
ployes.
A further clause which is said to
be in the agreement submitted by the
street car company requires that an
employe shall bear the responsibility
of any damage suit that may result
through his earelessness, neglect or
any other violation of the law. This
responsibility the company has here
tofore assumed. This burden will not
be accepted by the men according TO
reports.
Employees apparently are not slow
to see that all the benefits of the
change in operation of cars are in
tended to go to the company and none
to the employees or public. So far
there has been no action taken by the
company that would indicate that they
intend reducing fares.
The indications are that the em-
ployes will takeia firm stand and that
they will be supported by all mem
bers of other unions and by the public
as well. Speculation regarding the
possibility of a strike in case the
company insists on terms of the
agreement as submitted by its repre-
sentatives, is suggested in news artl-
cles appearing in the Danviiie papers.

GARY MILLS
CHANGE TO s.
HOUR SHIFTS

A unit Of blast furnace workers was
scheduled to begin eight hour shifts
last Monday in the Gary steel mills.
This accords with a request made by
the late President Harding.
Approximately 500 more men were
to be added to the force, the addition
al number being added to supply the
extra hours lett vacant by the shift
from II hours work to eight hours.
Gradually the work in the mills will
be readjusted until every workman
employed in the Gary mills will be
working only 8 hours a day.
A similar arrangement of the hours
Is said to be under way in the Car
negia steel company, a subsidiary of
the United States Steel Corporation.
Other mills will follow.
The arrangement in the east affects
the hour schedule in the Pittsburg
district, long known as one of the
leading iron and steel centers in the
United States. This district was due
to make the shift at the same time as
the Gary mills.
Steel corporations have long held
out against the change, but through
the influence of the late president
hnally consented to readjustment.
The effect will be conducive to much
better feeling among the workmen
because Of the additional time allowed
Tor rest and recreation. Generally
at the end of a 12-hour shift the men
were worn out with the fatigue of
their labor. The satisfaction will be
,wlde spread among the steel workers
the change does not result in a
decrease in wages.
Those who have lived in the steel
hai region know from observation
u not experience, just how strenuous
me work in the mills is, and are EN-
ghauc IN expressing their sympathy
iof the men who have been compelled
10 work ~ hours a day.

OPEN SUNDAY
AGITATION PAVES
WAY FOR QUESTION

Agitation Of the Sunday amuse-
ment question by few who believe
that Sunday moving pictures would be
an advantage to Champaign was re-
Gently started. The question of per.
mitting the picture shows to operate
on Sunday was voted down prior to
the war, but Is revived again on the
presumption that public opinion has
changed.
Practically every city in the state
has brought the issue TO the people
and in many instances conservatism
has been defeated and the moving
picture theatres are now in operation.
Judging from the comment heard
on the streets the number fayoring an
open Sunday with respect to movies
has increased since the question was
last put TO an issue.
The agitation has apparently start
ed outside the motion picture industry,
by persons who are interested in pro-
viding opportunities for Sunday
recreation to those who are not menu
bers of the country clubs and who
have neither time nor money with
which to take extended trips.
The fact is pointed out that many
of those who oppose the Sunday
movies do so from prejudice, while
they are in the habit of spending their
Sundays golhng, motoring, fishing
and vacationing to summer resorts.
One day last week a young woman,
planning to get married was unable
to find a minitser. All had gone on
vacations, and she finally had to pro
cure the offices Of an assistant pas
tor of a church other than her own
! persuasion, or postpone the event
until the pastors returned from their
vacations.
1t is pointed out by those who
| favor Sunday movies that a change
will be a help in keeping young peo.
pie from frequenting places Of anuse-
ment outside the city limits that are
more or less questionable.
II Is stated that scores of Twin City
people drive TO Danville or Decatur
and attend the Sunday movies. arriy-
| ing home late at night. II is pointed
! out that the churches are poorly at
| tended, particularly in summer, and
| this Is given as a sign that many who
| should be at service are spending their
| Sundays in recreation.
The right Of these persons TO deny
4 TO others who have neither autOmO-
biles nor the means 10 spend Sunday
away from home the opportunity Il
spend the day as they choose, is ealleC
in question and affords one Of the
chief arguments for those who fayol
an open Sunday.

BUSINESS MEN
TO ESTABLISH
CREDIT BUREAUS

Realizing the necessity Of eoopera-
ton of merchants and professional
men In securing good accounts and
eliminating bad ones. state meeting
will be held soon in Bloomington for
the purpose of establishing state
wide credit bureau.
Representatives of various indie.
pendent credit bureaus throughout the
state will attend the meeting. Just
what plan of organization Is contem.
plated by the leaders OF the move.
ment has not been made public, but
it IL implied that the independent
bureaus will be 50 organized as 10
function under the direct leadership
Of state secretary.
In Champaign the credit bureau has
had its difficulties, just why the
members have not explained, but it Is
reported that the membership has
fallen from 100 To approximately one.
fourth that number since the bureau
was organized.
In other cities where the bureau
has failed 10 maintain an organlxa
| ton 1t has been because OF "a prevail
| ing fear that someone will obtain al
! advantage over y competitor In busi
| ness. Another cause OF failure Is The
| tendency of many firms TO tend Il
their own credit departments, holding
the standing of their patrons In con,
fidence, particularly where credit Il
good. The tendency on the part OF
such merchants has been TO hold as
long as possible the patrons who are
known TO be good pay" and not Ia
permit them to transfer their accounts
10 other firms. The tendency Is 10
lose sight Of the general good In the
natural selfish object of building M
q substantial and safe credit business.
A credit account IL the best recon-
mendation one can have in u com
munity. The object OF the credit
bureau as pertains 10 the buyer Is to
place him In his proper class as good
bad or indifferent pay, and TO make
his standing known to all members
of the bureau.
From the standpoint OF the mer-
chant IL IL convenient 10 turn to a
credit rating book and settle At once
whether new purchaser " good on
bad pay, whether bis checks are good
or questionable, how large an ac-
count he may safely be trusted 10 pay

take the independent merchant long
while TO find out.
From the standpoint Of the buyer IL

an account at any store without hay.

proving ones ability and Willingness
to pay promptly. A credit book show
ing the buyers rating Is as much a
source of convenience 10 the buyer n

tor not considered. =.
The burden of maintaining credit
bureau, however, falls on the busi.
ness concerns. for the reason that they
stand to lose money In bad accounts
while the buyer loses only the time re.
auired TO establish his credit, which
Is merely an inconvenience.

More Grade Accidents.

Railway grade crossing accidents
included SIT persons killed and LILO
injured in the four months Of last
year, reports the bureau Of public
roads. A great percentage Of the
casualties were occupants Of motor
cars in collision with railroad trains
at grade crossings. Experts Of the

lessened only by an underpass or
