LABOR WINNING FREEDOM


"That man is least free, it seems to
me, who earns his bread as a cog in
a machine over which he, as man,
has not the slightest controlling
voice. Prof. Anna Marion MacLean,
in the Century Magazine.
Prof. MacLean is right. But for
tunately for freedom the trade unions
of the United States and of every
civilized nation are steadily giving
the workers a greater voice over the
machine.
Year by year the trade unions are
improving the working conditions of
the toiler. Year by year they are CIV
ing him better wages, so that he and
his family may live in accordance
with higher standards. Year by year
they are giving him more leisure so
that he may have the opportunity for
recreation and the time to think and
reflect on the problems that immedi-
ately touch his life and his job, as
well as on the problems that affect
society and the nation as a whole.
This increased SAY" over the ma
chine is gradually changing the view
points of both worker and employer.
The employer is coming to see more
and more clearly that the worker is
not mere part of the machine
another cog-but a human being with
a soul and the right to happy and
| seIf-respecting life. And of all the
forces that is giving employer and
employe new vision of freedom or
ganized labor is the chief.

This is a call to duty-a call to
rally every true union man to his
post. Every union member has an
obligation to attend every union
meeting. Unions hold meetings for
serious work of interest to every
member. Every honest, earnest
straightforward trade unionlst
should be in attendance at every
meeting. Go to your union meeting
and stay there until the minute of
adjournment. Do not stay away or
run away from union meetings be-
cause some individual or small group
| tries to sidetrack attention to some
rival or hostile movement = some
movement designed to undermine or
| iniure the real trade union movement.
In such cases the post of duty for
every real trade unionist is in the
union meeting. There is more than
personal desire at stake. There is
duty to be performed, and no trade
unionist ever shirks a duty. Go to
every union movement. Take active
part. Stay to the end. If you are
delegate to the central body, go there
at every meeting, take part, and stay
to the finish. There the delegates see
that the best interests of the workers
are protected and advanced. See that
real American trade unionism is
maintained and strengthened. Build
the movement stronger. Build its
organization. Build by being on the

Capital Pleased
Over French Action
on Naval Treaty

Washington, July 7-(By A. Pr
Word that the French Champer of
Deputies had ratified the Naval Limi-
tation Treaty was received here as
one Of the most encouraging pieces
of news that has reached Washing
ton from abroad in many a day.
For many reasons favorable action
by France had been awaited with I'M
usual concern, although the French
Senate still must give it's assent be-
fore the circle of ratifying Powers is
complete, there appears to be little
apprehension among American Off
Gals of serious. opposition or delay
in that quarter.
Foremost among the causes for
qualification here is that French ac-
Ceptance of the treaty will put the
cap sheaf on the most potentous Dip
lomatic undertaking of the Harding
Administration, by actually giving
vitality to the Washington conference
plan to end competitive building of
first line ships OF war. All the other
signatory Powers, Great Britain,
Japan, Italy and the United States,
already have ratified and are await
ing only the pledge Of France to put
the Washington Program into effect.
Beyond this. there was a measur-
able degree of relief among practical
navy men at the prospect that the

There was a net gain in volume
Of sales the fourth week of the cam
