NUMBER 40
NATIONS AND THE NEW YEAR

What will be the policy of the ma
tions of the earth the coming yearf
Will it be policy Of justice and
fairness toward each other, a case of
live and let live, or will they continue
their present policy of hogging ev-
erything upon which they can lay
their hands?
Let us glance over the field
In America we naturally want to
build up our merchant marine and ex-
tend our foreign trade. But we do
not covet any foreign territory, we
want no reparations, we seek moth
ing that can not come to US in leg
itimate manner and with peace and
good will toward all men. That is
the traditional policy handed down to
us from the days of our forefathers.
The seas belong to all people who
have an inclination to traverse them,
either for pleasure or for profit, yet
England yearns to control them and
thereby monopolize the ocean freight
carrying industry of the. world. She
does not want to see other nations
carrying cargoes from port to port in
their own vessels.
The sun never sets upon British
possessions, yet the mother country
has watchful eye ever on the alert
for new territory that offers a pos
sibility of future profit.
Germany nurses an animosity to-
ward the British and the French es-
pecially the latter--that will never
die. She but bides her time, hoping
that some time she will be able to
"come back" combine with Russia
and Turkey, retrieve the disasters of
her recent defeat and collapse, and
wreak vengeance upon her hated
neighbor.
Turkey is bitter toward all Christ
ians, and would like nothing better
than to put every follower Of Christ
to the sword.
Soveit Russia plans the overthrow
OF all regularly established govern
ments, with the red flag of bolshev-
ism ultimately waving over oil Christ

Mexico, that hotbed of revolutiosen

The followers of tho Prophet are

wars, Spain anu Italy are wondering
if it is worth while keeping their

Of the earth are barking at something
'r other to keep in the push"
And SO it goes.
Throughout the earth, with few ex-
ceptions, we find hatred, suspicion,

will toward men.

And along with harmony comes
good fellowship--its twin brother.
Good fellowship promotes harmony,
and harmony promotes good fellow
ship, and when the two pull together
it is difficult to resist or check them.
By all means let us have good fell

AS THE EDITOR SEES IT

The festivities are over, and now
another year Of work is before US.
Let S hit the ball-before it hits us.
The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1923-01-05
But that ism t all.

But that isn't all.
Harmony and good fellowship pro.
mote kindness, and generosity, and
thoughtfulness, and consideration,
and willingness to do for others as
well as for self.
That. also, is good-very good.
The fellow who lives for self alone
doesn t really live. He only inflicts
us with his presence for time.
But when we perform a kindly act
for others it leaves warm glow in
the region Of the heart-that heart
that should never grow cold.
We must have all Of these, too.
Tn fact there are many things we
might have and do in this community
in 1923--things that work for i'm
provement, and prosperity and socia-
bility.
Perhaps you can suggest few.
In passing we might suggest that
1923 will be better if made, instead Of
being marred.
Making q community is not difficult,
1t only REQUIRES intelligence and will
to accomplish.
Marring community is even less
difficnlt. Tn fact. If IS nat difficu1t at
al. 1t only requires that spirit of in
difference that is so often found where
it ehould not be.
Wen do something, of course-but
what?
The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1923-01-05

And while we are engaged in be-
cuil.ng prosperity, let's also endeavor
to promote harmony.
II tic doors Of .our heart are open
harmony viii always seek admittance.
1t dccsn t like to wander around
without a hcme-and its home is in
tie head and the heart.
Harmony will do wonderful things
for us in the run of a year.

1t was a Merry Christmas, anyway,
and Happy New Year-as usual.
But what kind Of year is before
us? Not as usual, we hope, because
the last few have been anything but
what we might desire.
Prosperity comes to those who earn
estly and diligently and intelligently
seek unless it is left by rich dad
who conveniently fades away.
1t is greater prosperity that we
want IN this town, and in this COM
munity, and in the state and nation.
Let's 90 after it, and stick until
we get it, and hang onto it after it
comes. Talking is sometimes good,
becau it puts us in the right shape
oi mind. That's why we are talking
on paper now.
Bat work is better, because it en-
ables Us to accomplish definite and
desirable results.
Therefore, let's do both--talk and
work--in 1923.

FRIEND OF LABOR"
Steel Trust Gary's Policy
Condemned BY American
Federation of Teachers

The American Federation of Teach
ers' 1923 convention adopted an anti
12-hour-day resolution which con-
demned the vicious and inhuman sys-
tenn employed by the steel trust dom
mated by Judge Gary" and urged the
locals of the federation to create a
public sentiment for the elimination
of the ''un- American, degrading and
dehumanizing system"
In the course cf time the fedora
tons officials received a communca-
tion from F. R. Sites, secretary to
Judge Gary, one paragraph which is
surely worth preserving 1t reads;
"To characterize as vicious and in
human the system employed by the
steel corporation is great mistake
Those who have given study to the
subject of industrial management rec
ognize that under Judge Gary's guild
ance the corporation has been the out
standing leader among manufacturing
companies in giving careful and etfec-
tive consideration to the well being,
comfort and happiness of its en-
ployes, and in developing cordial re-
lations and happiness of its employees,
and hearty cooperation between the
employees and the management"
Judge Gary is the man who from
the inception of the steel corporation
established the policy of refusing to
deal with the representatives of the
democracies known as trade unions
Judge Gary is the man who refused
to recognize the right Of the steel
workers to organize effectively in
trade unions for the protection Of
their standards of wages and hours.
Judge Gary is the man who has un-
dertaken to maintain the slave own
ers' conception of human labor power
as a commodity even after the statute
law of the United States declared that
It is not a commodity.
Judge Gary is the man who persis-
tently fought the abolition of the p
hour day and the 7-day week and who
cnly yielded when the trade union
movement had so modified public
opinion against these monstrosities
that further hostility to the shorter
workday principle not only placed

S. WAGE RAISE
REFUSED; PRINT
ERS GO ON STRIKE

Asheville, N. C.-The strike of the
Asheville local of the international
Typographical Union against Ashe-
ville's two daily papers, the Citizen
and the Times, is being vigorously
prosecuted.
The union asked for new agree
ment carrying an increase of s. per
week for newspaper night work and
$317 per week for day work, with the
48-hour week. The newspaper own
ers not only refused opay the new
scale but also refused to SUBMIT the
matter to arbitration, admitting that
they feared the union would win the
decision.
Officials of the union claim that
wage scales in cities comparable with
Asheville so far as cost of living IS
concerned are from So to $15 higher
than here.
The newspaper owners wanted D
year contract with no wage increase.
