Trade Union Spirit
Needed For Victory

Chicago-"More vigor and energy
greater discipline and a greater fight
ing spirit among all members are the
most essential requirements of our in
ternational union" says Editor Hob
mann Of the Bakers Journal.
This trade union is confronted by
aggregations Of capital that threaten
the complete justification Of the
baking industry, and the labor editor
reminds fellow unionists that intelli-
gence, organization and determination
are necessary to meet changed condi-
tiOns.
"Therc is such thing what we cal
esprit de corps or in our political
life, party spirit, which seems to he
indispensable to the trade union
movement, and where it should FIND
expression in greater, powerful, eff
ficient, vivid and forceful manner.
CAS- rule, every one who takes oul
cause seriously, should devote his at
tentiOn at all times undoubtedly to the
movement as a whole. We must keep
in mind that in our trade union activ-
tiles we are not engaged in tempor-
ary battles.
Philosophical deliberations and
hesitation are things that should not
be permitted to play part in our
economic struggles, if the workers are
to be protected from being submerg-
ed by economic oppression"

In New York restaurants cross
word puzzle enthusiasts are being ar
rested for "obstructing traffic" But
on one Of the country's great traffic
systems-the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road-they are being encouraged.
Officials Of the road, who noted the
amazing increase in the number of
the devotees Of the little black and
white squares, have installed standard
dictionaries for their use on all OBJ
servation and club cars on through
trains on the main lines.
If the puzzle solvers continue to in
crease in the ratio they have in the
past, the company probably will place
dictionaries in the cars on its branch
lines, it was said at the general
offices in Baltimore.
Enthusiasm for the crossword puZ-
zles is not confined to persons who
travel on observation and club cars, it
is observed. 1t is rampant in the day
coaches as we'll But because Of the
number Of dictionaries that would be
needed and the possibility that many
absent minded enthusiasts would
carry the dictionaries with them when
they left the trains no steps have
been taken to equip day coaches.
The growth of the fad, it was said,
virtually forced itself upon the atten-
tion Of officials Of the road SO many
Of the passengers carried their own

cape notice.

BY EDWARD ". PIckARp

With the exception of Germany,
ruined by her own acts, and Japan,
shattered by the forces Of nature, all
the world was better of at the close
OF 1923 than at Its beginning. This
Is especially true of the United States,
italy. Finland, CzechoslOyakia, Tur-
key, and probably Russia. though the
information coming from the land OF
the soviets has been so colored that
It was difficult to determine true con-
ditions there.
Economic recovery Of the world was
retarded. as 1t was during the previ-
GUS twelve months. by failure to
settle the matter Of the German repa-
cations and by the steady decline OF
Germany toward the point of absolute
collapse. The occupation of the Ruhr
by France and the resulting disputes
with Great Britain brought on re-
peated crises each Of which seemed
to threaten the final disruption of the
entente cordiale.
Several proposals for commissions
to determine Germany's capacity to
nay were made, but each OF them re-
CURED the participation OF the United
States and each time the American
government found unacceptable the
restrictions insisted upon by Premier
Poincare of France. AS the year
drew toward its. close, however, the
reparations commission was preparing
to appoint two committees of experts
to help work out the problem, and
President Coolidge approved OF the ap-
pointment OF Americans Oh these COM
mittees.
Turkey gained power and prestige
through the Lausanne peace confer
ence and the resulting treaties with
the allies and with the United States
Late In the year she added herself to
the list OF republics with Mustapha
Kemai Pasha as her first president.
Under the leadership of General
Primo Rivera and other army officers
and aristocrats, there was house
cleaning In Spain that resulted In the
turning out OF the crowd of politicians
that had for years been battening on
the spoils OF misgovernment. The So
called democratic government was
overthrown and dlctatorial council
substituted.
President Hardlng's death In San
Francisco threw all the United States
land indeed all the civilized world
into heartfelt mourning. Vice Fresl
dent Calvin Coolidge, succeeding to
the chief magistracy. carried on In
general the policies Of his predecessor.
Mr.. Harding had been considered the
certain nominee Of the Republican
party ia 1924. and his demise threw
open the lists and made the political
contest intensely interesting.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS

Germany's internal troubles. polit-
cal, economic and financial, were in
extricably tangled up with her inter
national woes and brought her to so
low a state that her regeneration
seemed at times almost hopeless Roy
alIsts, separatists and communists con
spired, revolted and rioted. Unem-
psoyment increased and in the cities
all but the industrial magnates and
the profiteers were reduced to neal
starvation, although the crops were
large aud the rural districts were over
running with food stuffs. The govern
tnent tried TO meet the situation bS
keeping up the flood of paper marks
and of course the mark declined until
billions could be had for one dollar
and those who had anything to sell
refused to accept the practically
worthless currency. In August Chan

DISASTERS

Unequaled In modern times was the
disaster that befell Japan on Septem-
Der / when violent earthquake shocks
and resultant fires destroyed Yoke
hama entirely and about two-thirds OF
Tokyo and ruined many smaller towns.
The number of killed was estimated
at 225,OO0, and the injured at more
than half that number. Though many
OF the houses were fllmsy, the prop
erty loss was enormous. The hun
dreds of thousands of refugees suf-
fered severely, but the American gov
eminent and the American Red Cross
were swift with relief measures, and
other nations Joined In the work.
Shiploads Of food and millions of dol
lars were rushed to the stricken land.
and the japanese government was ma
terially aided In Its task Of rebuilding
the ruined cities.
Among other serious disasters Of
the year were: January 8, twenty per-

INDUSTRIAL AND LABOR

Only one really big strike marred
the record of the year In the United
States, and that did not last long. The
miners In the anthracite fields and
their employers tried in vain to fix a
new wage scale and working condi-
tons, and on August 81 they broke of
negotiations. With the approval OF
President Coolidge, Governor Plnchot
OF Pennsylvania undertook to handle
the problem, and proposed a compro-
mise on August %. The strike began
officially two days later, but the nego-
tIations were continued. Pinchots
plan was accepted September s and
the miners resumed work on Septem-
Der 20.
At various times during the year the
railway labor board adjusted the
wages of certain classes Of rail work
ers, usually raising them. Some OF
the roads made separate agreements
with their employees, giving them In.
creased pay. April 8 the steel indus
try raised the wages of common labor
IL per cent and adjusted the pay OF
other classes, and on April 10 the Chi
cago packing house employees and
building trade workers were given an
Increase. The steel makers had been
attacked bitterly for maintaining the
twelye-hour day, and on August FL
bert III. Gary Of the U. s. Steel corpo-
ration announced its elimination.
The American Federation or Labor
met In annual convention in Portland,
Ore, and, among other acts, voted
against the formation Of political
labor party and also against the rec
ognition Of the Russian Soviet govern

ures and indeed all the more radical
factions In the. federation were routed
by President Gompers, who was re-

INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS

German reparatiens and compllca-
lions resulting from the failure to pay
them occupied much Of the attention
Of European diplomats. Early In JAM
uary the allied premiers held futile

from Germany. About the same time
Secretary Hughes announced the Unit
ed States would not consider Berlin's
proposal for a Horsepower European

France. however. was determined, and
the reparations commission gave her
the opening by declaring Germany In
willful default In coal deliveries. Ger

Britain not approving, the French on
