Ever alert to make organized labor efficient the
American Federation of Labor has established Legal In
formation Bureau for the dissemination of legal nfora
tion The first work of the bureau is bulletin which
takes up recent legal decisions treating of contempt of
court the right picket and other subjects of tremendous
importance to trade union members
In these days of constant infringement by the judi
ciary the functions of awmakng and aW-enforcing
bodies it is of great Importance that labor organizations
and individual members Of trade unions should be fully
informed to legal decisions affecting their organza
TONS 1t is the purpose of the Legal Information Bureau
to supply just such information with appropriate COM
ment and interpretation for the guidance and instruction
of all labor organizations The information will be given
out in bulletin FORM not at any stated time but as crcum
stances permit or occasion demands
Labor men and women will do well to pay close atten
ton to the information out by the Legal Information
Bureau As industrial conditions grow complex, it
increasingly important that the workers become thor
oughy informed all matters affecting their organza
lions and their work Anything that helps them to gain
better knowledge Of the law it affects industry and the
workers is worthy of the hearty support of organized
labor and it is hoped that the strongest possible kind of
backing and encouragement will be given the Legal In
formation Bureau.
That the bureau is under the direction of Matthew
Wol who is too well known to organized labor to need
any introduction is guarantee that it will be conducted
to give the utmost in value and service.

: The Outlawry of War

81 would instantly subscribe to
any proposal TO outlaw war If
some one would point to the
effective way to accomplish it."
From President Harding's last
public address at San Francisco,
Cal, July |, 1923.
Do you know war can be prevented
under international treaty agree
ments:
To outlaw war;
To create and codify international
law;
To establish an international judi
cial tribunal possessing affirmative
jurisdiction to decide disputes between
nations that might otherwise lead to
war?
Do You Know
That it is not illegal for one nation
to declare war against another, even
without iustifabe cause?
That existing international law
merely regulates the methods of wag-
ing war, but does not prohibit war
! itself?
That the so-caled causes of war"
economic, political, religious and
racial ambitions and conilicts--are as
inherent in nations as in individuals
, so they can neither be checked nor
minimized until war is made a crime
| for nations as murder has been made
a crime for individuals?
That many of the worlds wars have
been caused by affront to so-calleC
national honor" although duellinq
and similar wars between individuals
(eaused by an aifront to personal
honor') were eliminated from civil.
lied society only after being declared
illegal and criminal?
That existing international court:
or judicial tribunals do not now have
the right to hear and decide a disput,
on a complaint filled by an aggrieveC
nation, without the express consent
of the nation complained against and
therefore, cannot try cases between
nations as the United States Supreme
Court tries cases between our sOver
eign States?
Will You Help Prevent War
By making war illegal and a crime
against civilization, through interna
J tional agreement?
BY outlawing a nation that wages {
war of aggression and conquest?
By providing that international law
shall become primarily a code Of
peace instead of, as now, a code Of
war?
BY cOdifying international law anC
by enumerating the recognized domes
tic rights of sovereign nations, 81
that they may control their own gov
ernmental policies and enjoy judicia
protection in their international con
troversies?
By supporting an international judi
} cial tribunal which shall be vesteC
with affirmative jurisdiction to sum
mon before it nation against which
a complaint has been filed and to hea
and decide the dispute?
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-01-25

BY abandoning the doctrine of force
between nations, except in defense
against actual attack?
By depending on the mutual good
faith and confidence of nations to en-
force the decisions of such an inter
national judicial tribunal, since the
use of force is a futile method of
establishing Justice as between a pow
erful and a weak nation, while as be-
tween powerful nations it endangers
civilization itself?
You Can Help
Urge that the United States call an
international conference to obtain a
general treaty agreement for the out
lawry of war;
Write to the President of the United
States and to your Senator and Con-
gresham, outlining your own views
on the outlawry Of war and urging
their support of any proposal carrying
this plan into effect;
Organize meetings, conferences and
debates to promote discussion and
understanding of the plan for the
outlawry of war;
Distribute material on the outlawry
of war (obtainable from the New
York Committee at cost to stimulate
general public knowledge of and in
terest in the plan
To the end that war--the most de-
structiye, the most costly and the
most indefensible institution of civil
zation--may be eradicated.
The plan for the "Outlawry of
War was first proposed early in 1918
by Mr.. S. o. Levinson, a Chicago
lawyer, now Chairman of the Ameri-
can Committee for the Outlawry of
War, rs West Monroe Street, Chicago,
Ill. In March, 1919, and thereafter,
the late Senator Philander C. Knox
strongly urged the adoption of the
plan. because of its constructive APP
proach to world peace. On February
13, 1928, Senator William f. Borah
who had worked on this plan for
some years with Senator Knox and
Mr.. Levinson, introduced Senate
Resolution No. AL, Incorporating the
essential features of the plan with
such notifications as appeared to
strengthen its effectiveness.

Failing to impress the Board of
Directors with the validity of their
objections to the transfer a few men,
bers of the South Side Improvement
Association, and a few others who
count themselves progressive citizens,
have unjustly criticised the directors
for not having taken time to consider
the merits of the question. before
signing the deeds.
In the opinion of The Review such
criticism is based upon snap judg-
ment. Most members of the Board OF
Directors of the Champaign Chamber
of Comemrce are fairly we'll known

Snap judgment it appears would
suggest that the city council take inn
mediate steps to open John street, and
to secure another subway without
delay. Naturally our first thought is
to fear that once the Circle A Pro-
ducts company utilizes the ground it
has purchased all hope of ever open
ing John street is at an end. This,
however, is a fear without foundation.
The opening of John street, the con-
struction Of a subway and utilizing
Of portion of this ground for drain
age and sewer mains, depends entirely
upon eXpedience. When these i'm
proyements are needed they may be
had. There are no legal barriers to
surmount. The board of directors has
taken care of that. All that is re-
quired is a city commission who will

Women Of the Chicago Association
of Commerce, presumably an auxil-
larry of the Mems Association, will
hear what Mabel Normand, popular
movie star, has to say for herself.
The result will be a complete vindica-
ton Of the popular eomedienne and a
resulting increase in the general
esteem in which she has been held.
Recently a minority-a very small
minority-of the Women's Association
of Chicago demanded that all of Miss
Normand's pictures be excluded from
the screen on the ground of a recent
episode in which the popular star was
made to appear in an unfavorable
light, thanks to a sensational press
which knows well how to catch the ear
Of a gossip loving public.
BY a few well chosen phrases, which
by the way said nothing, Miss Nor
mand's reputation was injured, with
out giving her a ghost of chance to
retaliate or explain. The innocent
word playmate" which in spirit of
joviality she threw at the man in the
case, was caught up by the pen of a
reporter and worked for all the base
insinuations it was worth; and what
the reporter could not suggest for
fear of libel suit against his paper,
the women's clubs, would-be censors,
a few pastors and the sordid thumbs
down" public, supplied. Hence Miss
Normand stood in grave danger of
being forever excluded from the
screen. Thanks to the president of
this Chicago Woman's Association
Miss Normand is already back in the
good graces of the American people
and the episode will soon be forgotten,
unless she chooses to turn the tables
on her prosecutors by reproducing
the incident in the form of we'll de-
vised screen comedy.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE ADMITS
THAT high WAGES ARE
BETTER THAN CHEAP LABOR

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago.-Fierce opposition and de-
nunciation met the American Fedora
ton of Labor when it first declared
that high wages are better than cheap
labor-better for the workers, better
for the employers, better for the
nation.
Through the years organized labor
has stood by its guns, insisting that
high wages promote prosperity by
maintaining and increasing the con-
Stunning power of the masses. Labor
has gradually seen public opinion
swing to its stand, until now there
are few organizations or individuals
who have the foolishness openly to
advocate low wages. Sentiment in
favor of high wages has been grow
ing through the years but its growth
in recent months has been especially
rapid, business man after business
man and financial institution after
financial institution endorsing the
ing out how high wages keep the
wheels of industry turning at full
speed.
There are still, however, occasional
individuals who can't get away from
the low wage fallacy. This is recog-
nized by the Chicago Tribune, which
has been publishing a series of full
page advertisements. in which ii
makes the emphatic declaration that
''high wages are better than cheap
labor" The slogan is reiterated in
every advertisement but is given
special emphasis in one of the series
by displaying it in large type over
the top of the page. The Tribune
attitude is all the more significant
inasmuch as it has never been noted
for its friendliness to organized labor
and the things for which organized
labor stands.
The Tribune shows no sympathy

By the way probably the members
of the South Side Improvement Asso-
citation are not aware that the fol-
lowing directors of the Chamber of
Commerce are owners of south side
real etsate: f. c. Amsbary, Frank
NJ. Brown, Charles NJ. Stahl, c. d.
Brownell, W. Lewis, d. c. Dobbins
and c. ]. Mullikin. Obviously they
are not attempting to strike a short
arm blow at real estate holders of the
South Side Improvement Association.
Here are seven men who might have
enhanced the value Of their south side
holdings by forcing the Alexander
Lumber Company out of Champaign,
or at least into another section of the
city. That they did not do so is the
most attractive and eommendable fea-
ture Of the recent transaction.

Objections of the South Side I'm
pToYement Association to prevent ac-
ton OF the Chamber of Commerce
Board of Directors from disposing OF
ground in the vicinity of John and
Neil street proved Of no avail last
week when the Directors refused to
entertain the objections, and pro-
ceeded to sign the deeds, transferring
the property TO the city and the Circle
A Products company in accordance
with the original plans.
II has seemed to The Review that
the action of the Directors was entire
ly in keeping with the best interests
Of the city, and that the objections
were far-fetched and unwarranted.
1t is of Importance that the Alexan-
der Lumber Company be kept in
Champaign, and that sufficient induce
ment be granted the stockholders to
expand their industry in keeping pace
with the growth and development of
Champaign. 1t would be a decided
reflection upon the city and especially
upon the Chamber of Comemrce il
that body failed to encourage the ex-
pansion of the few industries the city
of Champaign boasts. Had the Di-
rectors called the bluff" of the Alex
ander Lumber Company and permit
ted that industry to leave the city for
Bloomington, Decatur or some other
thriving city, those directors would
never have heard "the last of it
from the very men who were SC
urgent in their objections to the re.
cent transaction.
1t is to the lasting credit of the
present city administration that its
members did not allow themselves to
be considered a part of the dispute
but on the contrary refused to be
dragged into the controversy.

act when the time is appropriate. The
city does not now need an extension
Of John street. It does need the Alex
ander Lumber Company and as many
more industries as it can command.

shall be held in each city, town or other community in the United States. The event, in addition to providing instruction for the per sonnel in the military service, will also be an opportunity for patriotic assemblages, parades of local units, Army, State Guards, Constabulary, civic and war veteran societies, Re serve Officers Training Corps, schools, etc., accordingly, as may be developed in each locality. These demonstrations will be local in character and will not involve any expenditure of public funds. It is hoped each citizen will learn his place and responsibility in the de- fense of the country should our na- tional security be threatened.
 "The general plan of the Defense Test in each state contemplates a State Mobolization Committee to be appointed by the Governor and To- cal mobilization committees to be appointed directly or through his state committee. It is intended that these state and local commit tees shall represent the state and To- cal agencies that would be used in an emergency in the procurement of man power under either a voluntary or selective service system and their functions, in this respect, should be demonstrated in each community by filling the ranks of the ograniza- tions stationed in the vicinity Regular Army, National Guard and Organized Reserves. the personnel for which may be secured through invitation to civilians of military age to serve FOR THAT DAY ONLY with specific units during their participation in parades or other patriotic demonstrations.
 "In order that the importance of the functions of the mobilization committee may receive full recog- nition as representing state and To- cal authority, it is very desirable that they be given charge of all ar engagements for assemblages and ceremonies incident to the occasion. They should, however, cooperate fully with and secure the assistance of, veteran, patriotic, welfare, la bor, business and other civic organ

 This act creates the Army of the United States, consisting of the Regular Army, National Guard and Organized Reserves, the first two constituting our first echelon of de- fense and the latter our second line on which our main dependence must rest in case we become involv- ed in an emergency of any magni- tude.
 "The act further provides that it shall be the duty of the War De- partment:
 "'To prepare plans for nation
 al defense and the use of the
 Military forces for that purpose = ..and for the mobilization of
 the manhood of the nation and
 its material resources in an emer-
 gency.'
 Under this provision the War Department has prepared plans and with the approval of the President, has designated September 12, 1924, the sixth anniversary of the battle of St. Mihiel, for the Defense Test, on which day 1t is intended to de- monstrate and explain these plans and to subject the underlying principles thereof to analysis and test.
 "In the World War, after enor- nous expenditures and serious loss of time, masses of untrained indi- viduals were concentrated in a few centers, distant from home ties and associations, where their training was conducted under the greatest difficulties. Profiting by these ex- periences the plan today contem- plates skeleton units, partially trained in advance, which can be concentrated locally when neces- sary. Units of the Regular Army and National Guard, which consti- ute our first line of defense, must be ready without delay, and the actual preparation should consist only in recruiting them to full strength and arming, equipping and completing the training of the ad

ditional personnel needed for this purpose.
 "Behind this first line we have the great body of Reserves, which must constitute the bulk of our de- fense force. Units of this force have been allocated to sections of the country according to population and the Defense Test" will be a trial of their knowledge of the du- ties which will automatically de- volve upon them to recruit, shelter. supply. equip. train and otherwise care for their respective organiza- tions. It is hoped by the Defense Test to impress the individual of- ficer and soldier with his particu- lar functions if a crisis comes. To- cal mobilization, a special feature of the new mobilization plans, will be emphasized and tried out in this test.
 "The main object of the demon stration, however, is to represent the mobilization requirements of our national defense policy and show the dependency of the units on the community to which allocat- ed and the contribution in aid of defense that could be expected from each community in the event of national emergency. It is vitally necessary to the success of our na- tional defense plans that they should be known and understood in advance by our people. These palms provide for individual and community cooperation and the ex- ercise of decentarlized authority by so many elements-National, State, Municipal and Private-that it is desirable to portray the functions of each of these agencies, civil as we'll as military.
