"GO And Do Likewise"

Magnus Johnson United States Standardized from
Minnesota offers the soundest kind of advice to white
collar workers who complain because common labor Il
getting better pay than they do.
Johnsons advice is summed up by Go and do like
wise" In answer to an inquiry from Chicago news
paper he urged workers in all trades and professions
take leaf from the book Of organized labor and organize
better their condition workers in many trades have
done He said
There is much resentment, | find amongst the
poorly paid store clerks the small professional and
the unsuccessful merchant expressed in these words The
laborer gets than do In other words the
aborer of 1923 due to his persistent efforts to reach
well defined goal of the American standard Of living has
succeeded in getting his dollar per hour whereas the
clerk and the professional has not been able do
we'll
"Now here is my theory Instead of the clerk and
the professional finding fault with the carpenter and
the plumber and the brick mason for his wages and thus
joining the hue and cry of organized capital let them go
and do ikewise let them work hand in hand with organ
lied labor to get their incomes increased rather than
try to get Labors reduced
Let all workers stick together the white collar
worker in the office and the brain workers in the profess
sOns and work hand in hand with organized carpenters
and brickayers to raise the wages of ALL Capital is al
ways of its own, regardless of how wages may CO.
1t only fairer division of the products of labor
There's nothing new in Johnsons advice but it is
just as good now as when it first given perhaps
thousands of years ago. The unorganized worker may
complain until DoomSday but it won't get him anywhere
His only salvation is in organization The more this is
emphasized the better off his chances of his acting instead
of merely talking. And for sressng this truth and again
bringing it before the public Mnnesotas new Senator
elect deserves the thanks of organized labor

COUNTY FAIR AC-
TORS ADMIT THEY
ARE SUBNORMAL

Theatrical critics have in the past
made doubtfully humorous references
to aggregations whose members
would resent the implication, but did
you ever see musical comedy COM
pany. composed entirely of crazy
people?
Illinois has one, and also a brass
band of sixteen pieces whose members
all are patients at the Jacksonville
state hospital. Pictures of each ag-
gregation in action will be shown at
the Champaign County Fair Associa-
ton from Aug. Il to "a, being a part
of the two big tent exhibits which the
state of Illinois will have on the
grounds.
These state wards will be shown in
other activities besides acting and
playing music. There is standing
forest of walnut trees on state
grounds at Jacksonville and the pic
lures will show how the patients fell
the trees, saw and cure the lumber
and convert it into various articles of
furniture and novelties.

President Coolidge has his chance
very early in his administration.
Difficulty between the owners and
miners in the anthracite region Of
efrs an opportunity for the President
to prove himself capable Of handling
the government. Judging by the man
ner in which he met difficult ques-
tons while governor of sMassachus-
etts he is not likely to fail
The mine owners do not want him
to NEEDLE with the situation. They
prefer to be let alone. Underproduc-
ton does not mean to them what il
does to the miners and public. A
shortage Of coal means higher prices
for both anthracite and bituminous
coal. Sufficient production means
a fair price, constant work for the
miners and living wages.
The miner does not want a strike.
He favors a strike only as a last
resort. The government does not want
a strike, and the president has de
clared that there will be no strike on
September /. How he will 20 about
handling the situation remains to be
seen. The probability is that he will
bring the mine owners to see the error
of their ways. There is no possible
way that he can force men to work
if they are not willing to work. A
standing army would be helpless in
attempting to force the miners into
the shafts. There would be no trouble
or revolution. The miners simply
would not work, and in order to make
them work would require soldier
for every four men. Even then it
is doubtful if it could be done. Men
can be driven to work by a foreman
in the fear Of being discharged. But
to drive a man to work who refuses
to work on his own volition, and who
cares not for his pay check is another
matter.
The president says there will be no
strike. He must know that the mine
owners will be forced to accede to
the miners demands. The president
has an alternative in case the other
peace efforts fail. He may declare
for government ownership of mines.
In that case Labor has nothing to
fear. The government will readily
pay the scale. But apparently the
government would rather not own the
mines. Nor are the owners anxious
to turn their stock over to the govern
ment, even temporarily. Government
ownership is the last club the Presi-
dent will use, but it is an effective
one. However it is plain it is not a
club for the miners, but for the own
ers. If used it may be effective to
bring the owners to time. Obviously
it cannot hurt the cause of the min
ers. They have nothing to do but
to sit tight.

TORTURE FOR PROFITS
MUST CO.

Torture of convicts to pile up
profits for non-union coal companies
must go!
This is the demand of the United
Mine Workers of America, which
charges that convicts in the mines of
Alabama have been Compelled to
suffer tortures" that "non-union min
ing companies might reap a profit"
Public opinion will back the miners
once it understands the conditions
against which the miners are pro-
testing. The fact that defenders of
the convict leasing system in Alabama
say that the state needs the money!
will not be accepted as even the
shadow of an excuse for permitting
the hideous leasing system to con-
tinue.
As long ago as 1915, a special
committee of the Alabama legislature
reported that "the leasing system is
a relic of barbarism, a species Of
slavery and crime against human
ity." Yet the system is still flourish
ing, with LOGO prisoners working in
the coal mines.
Organized labor must support the
miners to the fullest extent. With
them, it must protest against the
employment of convicts in coal mines
in competition with free labor in
Alabama or anywhere else" and de
mand that the United States Coal
Commission investigate we'll authen-
ticated charges of cruelty and mis-
treatment of convicts forced to work
in the mines.
