THE UNION LABEL SPEAKS

Loyal trade unionists should never
forget that it is their duty to con-
tinuously agitate for the union label.
In these days of adverse judicial de-
cisions one following fast upon the
others heels-the label is the weapon
by which assaults from any quarter
may be met and repulsed.
lnjunctions may come and injunc-
tions may go, but the label goes on
forever.
1t is the organized wage earner's
sword.
1t is the organized wage earner's
shield.
Upon the union label might appro-
priately be inscribed: "In Hoe Signo
Vinces."
The label is all eloquent.
1t speaks Tor living wage.
1t speaks for a shorter workday.
1t speaks for sanitary conditions.
1t speaks for the child at school and
not in the Workshop.
1t speaks for the union factory as
against the sweatshop.
1t speaks for women, that when
forced by injustice to earn her bread,
she shall be on an economic equality

THE u. S. A. is o. X.

A country that can close its year
with a treasury balance of more than
$400,000,000, that can collect $780,,
100000 income taxes in one year, and
that can reduce its public debt by
$3.50, 100000 in five years is not
fertile soil for the growth of pessim-
ism. A 25 per cent reduction in the
income tax rate and the abolition of
many miscellaneous taxes cannot be
regarding as discouraging. A budget
system that functions efficiently does
not foster alarm among the elector-
ate no matter what it's restrictive eff
feet upon politicians. The disinteg-
ration of "blocs" in Congress is moth
ing to weep over. Business and fl
nance may regret manifestations of
radicalism in and out of Washington;
but business and finance cannot hope,
any more than you or | can hope, to
have everything move along ideally
Business and finance have much to be
thankful for. Let them pluck up
courage, not sink into pressimism.
The U. S. A. is o. K.-Forbes Maga-
zine IN. W

with her male co-employle-equal pay
for equal work.
1t speaks for the protection of life
and limb by forcing the employers to
provide safe and adequate tools, ma
chinery and appliances.
And yet, why is this most potent of
agencies not utilized to the full by or
ganized toilers?
Why are not the wives, the
mothers, the sisters, the daughters in
structed-nay, commanded always
and to ask for the label?
1t is time this Indifference should
cease.
Remember the label is the sacro-
sanct sign that no injunction call can
reach.
Then, now is the time-yet all
times Opportune for such a resolu-
tion-that you should resolve:
To agitate with greater and great
er energy.
To see that nothing is purchased by
you or those dependent upon you for
support, that does not bear the label.
With these resolutions in the
breasts of the trade unionists
throughout the land, the labor move
ment could smile at it's enemies.

IT'S EITHER IGNORANCE OR
SELFISHNESS

The workman who does not believe
in the Brotherhood of Man possesses
no fraternal spirit, nor does he ever
extend a helping hand to a weaker or
unfortunate brother. When you hear
a workman say he does not have to
join the union to get good wages then
you are listening to a selfish work
man. When you hear a workman say
that the union never did anything for
him, he is either ignorant or he is
another selfish workman. When you
see workman who is employed in
an open shop and refuses to join the
union you are looking at a selfish
workman who is willing to reap what
others have sown.

DINNER PAIL EPlCS
(By BILL LLOYD

They've sprung a new name for
war, l see; it's national emergency.
The seven syllables, not one, are
'sposed to make the fracas fun. We
won't make war, by land or sea; we'll
simply meet emergency. The con-
gress never will declare that war is
coming with a flare. The president,
with his gloved fists, will say, "Emer-
gency exists"
1t shows how people like to hug
and hang on to a great humbug, and
idealize their native land, by sticking
heads into the sand. | 'spose the chill
dren will be taught that great emer-
gencies amt fought, but sure resem-
BILE, at the least, sort of Methodist
love-feast.
There's one thing certain, you can
see; they'll meet the next emergency
with poison gases, Lewisite, to blot
out cities in night. The enemy will
end our days by spilling on US some
death-rays-that is, We'll surely get
it worst unless we catch the other
first. Another modern ways to kill
bunch of deadly germs We'll spill,-
that is to say, unless our foe sends
bombs controlled by radio which bring
about our quick decease before our
gern1s we can release-unless we first
should stir his ire by pouring on him
liquid fire-unless he caught us on
the hip and from a ponderous air-ship
poured clouds of deadly gases down
to kill all living in our town.
If two emergencies should meet,
they might accomplish the sad feat
Of blotting out all living trace of this
alleged peace-loving race.
| think the youth, on land and sea,
who meet the next emergency will
wish before the end is gained that
old-style war had been retained, and,
quoting Shakespeare awfully well,
says: "War by any name is hell"

UNIONS ARE UNIQUE
IN WORLDS HISTORY
(From the Australian Worker)

(From the Australian Worker)
In the whole range of history no
organization ever attained to endur-
ing influence and power in the affairs
of men with the sensational rapidity
Of the trade union movement.
When the days in which we live can
be surveyed from the distance Of a
century or so, this fact will detach it
self from chaos of events, and stand
out with vivid distinctness.
A most amazing phenomenon it
will appear. For trade unionism
gained its eminent place in modern
life without any advantages which
might serve to explain it's success.
1t was not adopted by the auto
cratic monarch in furtherance of his
own authority.
The trade union movement was not
patronized by powerful rulers. 1t did
not have the sanction of supernat-
ural origin.
Truly astounding progress, when it
is borne in mind that little more than
half a century ago the trade union
was an unlawful association, and its
members subject to drastic penalties
as conspirators against the commun
ity.
A wonderful destiny awaits the
working class. If only they knew it
and would speed the day!

PEOPLE DEMAND REVISION

Reduction of federal taxes carrying proper adjustments of levies and equit- able distribution of the public bur dens is perceptibly the desire and hope of the American people. That politics and partisanry have, even at this early date, been injected into the question, regrettable as it is, need occasion no surprise. The history of government shows that such a situation is cus- tomary. However strong the popular wish and demand for the elimination of partisan politics from a very prac- tical program for the public veal, most people have ceased to hope for so de- sirable a condition.
 There is an aspect of the situation which might we'll serve as a danger signal to the politicians at Washing. ton who persist in considering so prac- tical' question as taxation from a political rather than from a business standpoint.
 This aspect is thus set forth with point by the Washington Post: "As- suming that the political parties in congress should make tax reduction a partisan question, with a resultant quarrel and failure to grant relief to the taxpayers, is it not evident that the voters would take reprisals next November? If both parties were to blame, both would suffer by the de-

NOT A MEDICATION

Attorney General Daugherty takes
 occasion to explain to the American
 people that the release of the war time prisoners from federal peniten- tiaries is to be construed in no sense
 as a vindication of their acts. This
 explanation was called forth, accord- ing to MT. Daugherty, by the propa- ganda being Hischievously spread in this country, that the communication of AAAtsnce was in effect an official ad- mission that the prisoners had com- mitted no crime. It is remembered
 that, at the time of the release, it was specifically stated that rights of citi- zenship were not restored by the president. If MT. Coolidge had thought the prisoners vindicated he would have restored their civil and political rights.
 The crisis in which these men off, tended is past and the laws they vio- lated are not now operative. The ac- tivities that were so pernicious in time of war are less immediately dangerous now. Their release was a mere act of humanity, and not in any degree to imply co9doning of their guilt.

Danger of Street skating


 To the Editor of The Age -Heraldt There has been much in the press of Birmingham about care- lessness of automobile drivers. Undoubtedly most of these com plaints are Justified. Business thoroughfares have been converted into speedways at nights. Officers of the law apparently pay little attention to the traffic violation. especially when taxicabs and other cars come tearing recklessly down the streets.
 Efforts to save human life. how ever, will be n1inimized unless something Is done to stop children from using 6irmingham's pave,i thoroughfares for skating. Thou sands of children were given skates by Santa Claus. There are now so many skaters on the streets 1t Is risky to drive an au- tomobile. The skaters hang on to cars and other vehicles and are drawn long distances. When they let so they seldom look to see If another automobile Is approach Ing.
 Traffic in Birmingham Is too congested b allow children to use the heavily-traveled streets for skating. Something ought to bc done about 1t. Why not act be- fore it Is too late?

other explanation is that MT. Hughes simply means what he says. He wants stability and constitutional government among our neighboring republics. Where those things have completely broken down he is not afraid to ex- pose himself to the charge of imperial ism. Where there is chance of main- taining constitutional and progressive government, as there certainly is in Mexico, he intervenes in it's behalf, Of course, this explanation may not be very satisfactory, because it is so sim pie and reasApable; and yet it may be true"
 Even the New York World, indefati- gable critic of our diplomatic policy, finds only praise for the resolution to sell Mexico needed munitions and only observes by way of censure: "It would have been to better effect if it had acted sooner" This from the World is equivalent to warm praise from other sources. The Philadelphia Public Ledger alone sounds a warning, and that not too lugubrious, that "we will be linked too closely with the status quo in Mexico-closer than we might some day care to be linked" But the Ledger concludes: "For good or evil we have waded . little deeper into Mexican and Pan-Ame1ican politics and the blood feuds of Latin America" However, in the Ledger's case, it is the verdict of the many against one.

If one party should obstruct. tax relief, while the other loyally sought to obtain it, the obstructionists would find, its presidential campaign seriously handi- capped. The taxpayers are nonpar- tisan in demanding relief, and they would be nonpartisan in striking back at the party which refused to give them relief. Democrats would vote against their party if It should be mis- led by it's leadecs an congress into a policy of opposing relief to taxpayers. Republicans would vote for a Demo- cratic presidential nominee If their party should betray them on the tax question during this winter."
 Aside from the merits or demerits of any particular system or plan of taxation presented to congress for consideration, it is apparent that the people demand all possible correction of tax abuses and inequalities. The people are in humor to hold responsi- ble any party or any political group which permits mere partisanry or po- litical interests to obstruct the public interest in this respect. It is not hard to believe that the fate of one or both parties next November depends on their records. on tex revision.

Theologians are auarreling again over the foundations of belief. They are dividing themselves into fundament alists and those who are desirous of crossing scientific opinions upon theologic concept. One reading the discussions would imagine that the fabric of religion was about to be torn down. that religious thought was on the de- cline. To those of us who believe that there Is a necessity for re- iigion, whether it be true or False, such a view Is almost heart-break- ing. Happily. most persons are not permitting themselves to be- come unduly excited over the con- .troversy. A plague on both your houses is our retort to the war ring groups.
 Articles of faith may not now appeal as strongly to men as they did in the past. and may never again appeal as strongly as they once did, but always the effect of the faith that a man holds on his conduct in life and the power of his faith in moldinE his conduct will remain a magnet to attract mems attention. More and more since the close of the great war thoughtful men, whether they be- long to the doubting class or are intensely religious. are feeling that the spiritual side of life must be cultivated. and that the unseen must take its place in the man agement of the seen. They are nearer unanimity than ever before that mere brute force cannot fur rish Justice to the world. and that the calm logic of the intellect does not spell peace. locally. or inter- nationally, either in business or in politics. Whether we like 1t or not, we are about ready to admit that there Is N spiritual side to man which must have its bearing in the world. or all the devices for mans befterment will fail.
 The question of education, of course. has its place In the present discussion, although serious pro- test to the public school system of America has never been raised. It remains the consensus of opin- ion that 1t is the duty of the state to furnish a liberal education to its sons and daughters in order to fit them for the intelligent dls- charge of citizenship, and the fact still exists that the pupils Of our

public schools represent families entertaining every phase, as well as no phase, of religious thought. Accordingly, we have held that to attempt any sort of religious education in the public, schools would breed evils of many sorts-- evils far worse than lack of re- ligious training.
 It is apparent that the teaching of denominationalism in the pub lie schools of our country would break down the schools and rsn- der them inefficient. No Roman Catholic. for insfanee. would con- sent that Protestant theology should be. taught to his children. And worse confusion would arise among Protestants because of the variance in their views as to the Fundamentals of our religion. Our system of public education has properly, therefore, completely ta-. booed all religious instruction. The Bible is not read in the schools and authority to no higher power than the president of the United States is taught. But ail he while, there has been a boody of citizens who believed in the neces- sity for religious training. They have patiently submitted to our school system and paid their taxes without complaint, yet so strong have been their views as to the duty they owe to their children with reference to religion that they have maintained, at their own expense parochial schools and not permitted their children to enter, the state schools until the faith of their fathers had become rooted and grounded in them.
 With development of the idea that the spiritual must enter into the social, political and economic life of this people. some sort of a compromise fair and just to all, over the old.time theory that the. state has nothing to do with the church and the church has nothing to do with the state, would seem desirable. I hurry to explain, however, that would not, of course, consent to any state re- ligion nor to the teaching of any denominational doctrine In any school of the land. The measure of a mans loyalty is not the re- ligion that he prSfesses, or his lack of religion, but 1t Is fn his obedience to. the constitution and laws of the United States.

A VERY MEAN MAN
By wickes Wamboldt

A friend of mine was called over the telephone by a young woman he knew who wanted him to make a contribution to philanthropy in which she was interested. He refused. whereupon the young woman proceeded to give him a piece of her mind. She said he had always posed as standing for worth while things. and had pre- tended to be interested in all good causes; and that this did not square with his present attitude. She hinted that my friend was. after all, something of hypocrite.
 Now hold on," said my friend. "It seems to me you ought to put your telephone to better use than bawling a fellow out over a per- sonal preference. Because that IS all 1t Is. This is a pet charity of yours. and you think it should be a pet charity of everybody's."
 Nothing of the sort" retorted the young woman; "any big-souied person should be interested in It."
 Perhaps so," replied my friend, perhaps not. The cause is all right but there are other causes that appeal to me more. I cannot support all of them; therefore. I choose the ones that attract me. I am doing my full share. and if venture a guess am doing as much as you are doing. sent one hundred dollars to the Jap anese earthquake sufferers. How much did you Send?"
 T didn't send anything" said the young woman. "I-"
 Exactly so," said my friend, 'I gave a hundred dollars to the starving children of the Near East. How much did you give?"
 "Why,r was the somewhat sub dued rejoinder. T didn't"
 Precisely" said my friend, "I gave fifty dollars to the Commu- nity Chest. Did you give any thing to that?"
 No. but"
 Certainly" said my friend, q sent hundred and fifty dollars to the Red Cross for the relief Of those orphans whose parents were burnt up at the school entertain ment. Did you give them any thing?"
 "I-You sec"
 That's all right" said my friend, I'm not finding fault with you. I just want to bring out the fact that you ought not to find fault with me because your pet charity doesn't get under my skin. You have no more right to dictate to me about my charities than about the clothes wear or the food I eat. have my preferences and my attractions and I am en- titled to them. have my hobbies and Nike to ride them You mustn't bawl me out because l don't care to ride yours"
 There was a momentary silence at the other end of the line. Then small severe voice said. q think you're just the meanest man I ever
