LABOR RESEARCH IS
IMPORTANT WORK
Federal Council Of Churches Research
Department.

According to the April issue Of La
Dor Age, fifty international unions
are now employing Labor Bureau, Inc.
to secure for them facts regarding
profits, wages, cost. Of living, etc. 9th
er labor organizations have sought
such professional assistance else
where, and some are maintaining re-
search departments Of their own.
Among those are the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers and the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers I'M
ion. The Bureau of Industrial Re-
search, New York, has functioned
particularly in connection with the
coal industry, and also rendered
conspicuous service to the sAmalga-
mated Clothing Workers during their
last great strike Discussing the sig
nificance Of these undertakings in the
same issue Of Labor Age, William H.
Johnston. president OF the Machintsts
union. gives useful Interpretation of
labor research and the ideals OF
which it is the expression.
Upon what does the economic and
legal power Of employers rest? In
number they are far fewer than the
wage earners. If 1t comes to a fight
without weapons they would quickly
be at the mercy of labor. At the bal
lot box they could be outvoted ten to
one. Yet today we often see them in
trenched in a position of power-of
economic power backed by laws,
courts, police and army-which seems
impregnable. The reason these few
men have been able to build up such
an intricate structure of defenses is
that they have been able to maintain
general consent to what they do.
Enough people do not object to their
practices strongly enough, and for a
long enough time, to do anything.
about it. In the long run a strong
popular objection to the practices Of
any ruling minority will end those
practices. Hence, the Importance OF
knowing how to defend ones cause
publicly, as well as we'll as the impor-
lance Of having a just cause. Research
and publicity may not seem to help in
gwen instance, but their piled-up ef-
feet in numerous instances is numer-
Gus.
ut is true that trades unions today
have a hard fight on their hands and
cannot undertake too much at once.
Yet look forward to the time when
the unions viii be far more than
fighting organizations. There is be-
ing built a new type of civilization,
and in that new civilization labor
ought to play a very important part.
Wherever unions are given an oppor-
tunity they are already beginning to
EXCISE their constructive faculties.
But unions can never rise to their op-
portunity in this respect unless they
are aggressive In employing experts
and helping to build the new world
through real knowledge Of what II Is
best to do"

Brooks carry a full line of fresh
materials and are extra careful in
their prescription department. Their
soda fountain and cigar counter are
supplied with the best articles and
there is universal dispatch and po-

is the growing popularity of the
Owenton Drug company and the
steadiness of it's trade. Once GUS

Brooks try to please by efficiency

their customers, and growing trade
attests the fact that they deliver
what they promise, practice what

WATER WORKS co.
A HOME INSTITUTION

The cumulative eight per cent pre-
ferred stock of the Birmingham Wat
er Works company, of which they
issued total of s1.20o,000, that was
speedily absorbed by the community,
quickly arose to par and is now held
at 105. 1t is not only held at los,
but 1t takes that to purchase it from
the few original investors who are
willing to part with 1t even at the
profit. The company has installed
500 new meters this year already and
has 800 applications in hand. Indi-
cations point to $500 new water con-
nections in 1922 and a breaking of
all prior records. The company laid
1900 feet of new piping this year
and has connected Tarrant City and
Boyles with the city water supply
Fairfield Is now getting third L.
inch main, which has been necessitat-
ed by It's growth. Two and a half
years ago one 16-inch main was suf-
ficient. The water company is as
near a home institution as can be
imagined. 1t buys its pipe in Bir-
mingham. Its water Is here. Its
meters are made in Birmingham. Its
fuel is mined at the door Of the pump
house. Practically every material
used in repairs and construction is
made in Birmingham. 1t Is a veri-
table home institution and that is
regarded as the leading inducement
to such quick local absorption of
its eight per cent stock, proceeds of
which went into plant improvement
and expansion.

suit is that no stocks are piling up.
