WHAT CAUSES THE PRESENT CHAOS IN NEEDLE INDUSTRY?
the
PAUL JUDITH.

These tactics had but one purpose in
mind - to intensity competition
amongst the workers. Attempts were
made to increase the OPPRESSION Of the
workers by strategic tricks so that
inch by inch they themselves would
be forced to yield the positions they
had so bitterly fought for.
The union diplomats had seen and
understood the maneuvers of the
manufacturers but had never resisted
them. They concluded agreements
and supplementary agreements; they
permitted the employers to interpret
the agreements as they pleased. They
allowed impartial" agents of the
bosses to act as chairmen and decide
questions which often affected the
very foundation of the union They Of
fered no opposition when false 're-
organizations" were put thru in the
regular factories, and workers thrown
without cause into the ranks Of the
unemployed. They always trusted
in the promises of the manufacturers
to send their work only to union-con-
trolled shops. They let the manufac-
turers continue their game of decep-
ton with their sub-manufacturing
business. Jobbers gave their own
material to scab contractors and pre-
tend the material was sold. Then they
take back ready-made clothes from
the same scab contractors and say
that these were bought.
Masses of workers have been driven
to state of complete hopelessness
by these maneuvers Of the manufac-
turers. The network of corporation
and scab shops has widely spread.
Every big manufacturer becomes also
a jobber. Because of this, competition
constantly increases not only in the
contracting shops but even in the
regular factories. Workers are COM
PEELED to give up some of their con-
ditions in the regular factories so as
not to be driven into the army of the
unemployed. But owing to the strong
pressure of the competition of work
ers in the outside shops, they are none
the less forced to leave the regular
factories in ever greater numbers. For
this reason decentralization steadily
grows. Unemployment increases with
the result that the number of sweat
shops is multiplied. Union control be-
comes constantly weaker The organ
izations crumble and the great masses
of workers struggle helplessly in ter
rible maze.
Because conditions Of labor are not
fixed and determined, speculation
among manufacturers and so-called
jobbers continues to advance. In their
greed for still greater profits they try
to take advantage of the wretched
state of the workers. They therefore
invest more money in stock now than
in former years. All kinds Of clothes
are being made in scab shops in what
is usually slack period, not when the
season is at it's height Hence the
seasons in these trades are not what
they once were; which alone makes
the condition of the workers more in
tolerable.
These jobbers and regular manu-
facturers speculate still further They
sell orders to so-called buyers" with
out a fixed charge. They engage in

The far-fung iron range in Northern Minnesota
has gone solid for the June 18th Farmer-Lab
Convention at ST. Paul. That is, the miners on
'the range are for June 18th. The iron mine
owners have their longing eyes on the republican
convention in New York City, and the democratic
pow-wow at Cleveland, wondering il any workers
and farmers will longer be deluded into support
ing these fake punch and judy shows.

In an editorial entitled, After La
Toilette, WHAT" the Chicago Tribune
expresses a grave fear that If the
Wisconsin senator is elected he will
not live to carry out his policies, and
implies that the government may be
turned over to less responsible lead
ers when disaster unparalleled will
engulf the nation.
This is something new, even for the
Tribune. We understood heretofore
that the Republican leaders were par
ticularly afraid of LaFollette "radi-
calism." 1t seems that is not what
they fear.
The Tribune says that recently Sen
ator LaFollette suffered a sensational
breakdown. What is a sensational
breakdown? A fall from tight wire
or did he stumble over a pebble?
No one to hear Senator LaFollette
would think that his health is shat
tered.
The Tribune is much worried be-
cause Samuel Gompers is fast ageing,
and will soon pass to his reward. This
again is something new, ever for the
Tribune. We understood that the
Tribune feared the "radicalism" of
Samuel Gompers, but it seems we
we're mistaken. II fears that Union
Labor will disintegrate when the
veteran leader dies. This again is
something new even for the Tribune.
What is the w. &. N. trying to say
anyway?
Remember the story of Little Red
Riding-Hood and the wolf and grand
mothers big black shawl and you will
know what the Tribune is talking
about.

Champaign merchants may : add
much to the convenience and rapidty
of installing decorations for various
University and municipal events by
copying a plan in use in many Illinois
cities.
The plan involves the boring of
holes in the sidewalks near the curb
ing 20 feet apart, the holes to be used
for flag staifs of uniform length to
which are attached flags of the same
size.
For electrical displays wires may
be run the entire length of any street
and attached to the flag poles, with
ordinary bulbs approximately two
feet apart.
Such a plan results in uniformity
Of decoration and is exceptionally at
tractive to the eye. The tedious
labor of installing flag clusters or
light or telephone poles is no longer
necessary, and instead of having 8

Campaign spellbinders no longer
draw the crowds. Even a band is no
longer able to attract large follow
ing to hear a campaign speech. The
reason is that people are not so emo
tional as in former years.
Perhaps we spent a large pant OF
our emotionalism during the recent
war and will have to go on in a con-
sentative manner until something
deep and profound occurs to stir our
emotional content.
Nearly 80 years ago We had the
free silver question and the youthful
William Jennings Bryan. A few years
later we had Teddy Roosevelt and the
rough riders. Then came the war
and prohibition as climax to all pre-
yious displays of sentiment.
Recently we were in the throes of a
panic among the followers of the
plough and reaper and the panic
seems to have taken all the emotional
ism out of US. Something will have
to happen to redeem us from the
curse of unbelief, and bring back cur
gulibiIity.
We are not inclined to believe in
anything very seriously. Even the
newspapers are doubted. Headlines
are no longer startling.
The trouble is that America is COM
pletely possessed by business, and
emotionalism and business never
travel in the same harness.

Oswald Garrison Willard, editor of
the New York Nation, defended Rob.
ert NJ. LaFollette at West Side park
last Saturday in stirring fifty min
ute address.
He stressed points that it will be
well for voters to study before they
cast their ballots on election day.
The gist of his entire argument may
be condensed in a short question:
"Can the American voter trust a
party that has permitted the Teapot
Dome graft to flourish ?" Mr.. Willard
answered the question concisely and
convincingly. The American voter
cannot and will not trust such party
if he is wise. If he is careless, in
different and unconcerned about the
future of this Republic he may go to
the polls and invite the same men to
again assume the administrative Off
ces of the government.
''This is the acid test of our demo,
cracy," said Mr.. Willard, whether we
love our country and believe in it OF
whether we are Indifferent to its
future"
Few voters doubt that the nominal
ton of President Harding in 1920
was planned in a corner, nor that the
leading candidates, Lowden, Johnson
and Wood, were not deliberately sacri-
feed in order to procure the eleventh
hour nomination of a man whom the
rank and file of the Republican party
did not want. Lowden and Wood
were played against Johnson, Willard
declared, "and when the delegates
were tired out group of bosses went
into secret session and picked out a
man that suited them"
ldentically the same plan was
adopted in procuring the nomination
of William Howard Taft in 1912. The
conservative, capitalistic leaders of
the Republican party have always
hated leaders of the progressive type.
They have not wanted Theodore
Roosevelt, Hiram Johnson or Robert
LaFollette. They tried hard to bury
Roosevelt in the vice presidency in
1900 and thought they had succeeded
when he generously accepted the
proffered offer.
The machine politicians did not take
cognizanee Of the various turns of
fate or providence and were confound.

dent Roosevelt accomplished more toi
The American republic than any man
since Abraham Lincoln. But in 1906
enc might have thought that the
greatest possible calamity would &C.
eur to the nation if man OF the
Roosevelt type became president.
A similar cry is now being raised
By the controlling powers Of the

reason that no one knows exactly how
fan the senator will go IN exposing
corruption in case he is elected. The

ofs in the face Of the American voter
