UNIV. PRESIDENT
SUPPORTS RIGHT TO
FREEDOM OF SPEECH

New York, Feb. 6.-"There Is no
more unhappy tendency in our con
temporary American life than that TO
persecute those individuals with whom
We may not ourselves happen 20
agree" said Nicholas Murray Butter,
president of Columbia university, IN
reply to a protest against series OF
lectures at Columbia by PapiDi, Italian
author, who has written somewhat
harshly Of American life.
"If Signor Papini has said or writ-
ten unkind or censonOus things OF our
modern life or Of any Of our national
leaders, surely there can be no better
way to bring him to a better under
standing Of US and Of them than by
giving him every opportunity 10 move

This spirit Of persecution contln-
ued the educator, as far more un-
American than anything which Slgnor
Papini or any other distinguished
European man Of letters could posi-
bly say or write about u.s."
DR.. Butler declared that freedom Of
expression is the best method Of com
hating error. Whatever may be the
religious or political views of a SIN
cere scholar or man of letters, these
do not concern a university which aims

New York, Feb. 6=~lt Is extreme

president Of financial organization,
IN a speech To bankers, investors and

THE abnormal cost Of living" he
said, is becoming the normal. The
new generation ig growing up and the

that we are beginning TO forget that

ingmen than il has ever yet received,
said j. w. Hays, secretary treasurer
Of the International Typographical
Union, in recent statement.
Far too many trade unionists lack
the patience to see the intrinsic value
of the label in the struggle to further
establish the labor movement as a
vital social unit" said Mr.. Hays.
Winning of disputes through organ
lied strength is not the only object
of unionism. We must strive to-
wards the time when unionism will
be universally recognized as a sound
instrument for the betterment of So
cial conditions affecting everyone.
"The open shop hsa no label, but
il is his strategy in many cases to
strike at unionism through the buyer
rather than by working directly on the
employer. In the printing trade,
all employers, who operate
plants of important size. want to run
union shops. They have found it far
more satisfactory to employ union
men at fair wages under good work
ing conditions than to worry along
with low grade and unskilled printers
The employers know the advantages
gained by employing skilled men who
live up to an ethical standard which
protects the employer against time
wasting, sabotage and material waste
"Now the open shopper recognizes
the futility of citing specious economy
measures to an experienced employer
so he devotes his efforts to creating
hatred of unionism among bankers,
capitalists and Others who buy print
ing. He tries to persuade such men
to adopt a policy of turning business
away from union shops.
at is perfectly obvious that to com
bat that sort of fighting, conscientious
unionists must give thought and effort
to that mighty weapon, the Union
Label"

Of the Constitution, when stage coach

that long delay in inaugurating a new
President and convemng new Con-
gress is out of place.
A new Congress would meet on the
third Monday in January following
a November election by the Rathbone
bill instead of in December of the
year following the election. thirteen
months later, as at present.
Although similar bills have been in
troduced in the past the Rathbone
bill, which is sponsored in the Senate
by Senator Ashurst of Arizona, "A
Democrat, seems TO have an excellent
chance of passage during the present
Congress. 1t is one measure in sup
port of which many conservative and
radical members of both Houses Of
Congress are united, and is eonse-
quently expected TO receive early con-
sideration.

tives should have to wait thirteen

The large labor turnover has grown

Prior to the lockout the publishing
company tried by promising wages
greatly in excess of the scale to bribe
union printers to give up their mem
bership. Only tow men in the plant
accepted such terms. About twenty
years ago, the company owning the
same group of magazines declared
war on the unions but after a two
year fight, in which great inroads
were made in the circulations of the
magazines, peace was. made on union
