HIS GOOD POINTS

death came and removed one of
- the well-known men of the COM
munity. With hushed voices the people
spoke of him. Without exception they
told of his good characteristics.
Many of those who uttered these
complimentary remarks were busy
finding fault during his life. But af-
ter his death they seemed to feel that
there was a great deal of good about
the man that they had neglected to
mention all these years.
Scarcely week or month passes
that We don't witness just such an
occasion. Even mans enemies and
opponents find much that is good to
say about him after he passes on, be-
cause there is generally guilty feel
ing = feeling of honors due that
have been withheld.
When he is dead they say he was
either public spirited or he minded
his own business, easy going and good
hearted or a thrifty citizen, fine fell
low to meet or a good fellow after
you got to know him well.
His faults are forgotten and his
virtues remembered = but unfortun-
ately when it is too late for him TO
know or appreciate.
So wouldn't it be happier world
if we would all strive to see few
of mans virtues during his life?
We can always find plenty of good
things to say about him after he is
gone. Why not think of a few of those
good points while he is still alive?

up to the farthest corner of Russia,

land, from the east and the west,
they are all endeared to the proletar-
ian Pravda Of Lenin.
A pile Of letters-a heap Of pres
ents which have been lovingly ia
shioned by the workers in the various
factories and workshops in their lei
sure hours.
The conference of the workers and
village correspondents which was
convened by the Pravda undoubted-
ly constitutes a very important stage
in the development Of the workers
and village correspondents movement
A whole year has elapsed since the
first conference. But in this year
the movement has grown and has OBJ
tanned a sure and firm foothold. It
has created the basis OF its organiza-
ton, attained International impor-
lance and found a response in a whole
number OF countries.
There has not only begun an ex-
change OF information between our
workers and their comrades abroad
some parties are already following
our footsteps.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1925-01-31

In this way the movement is al
ready capturing International posi-
tons.
The experiences of a whole year
rave, before all, fully and completely
justified the attitude of the first con-
terence regarding organizatory cues
lions. The non-binding character of
the decisions, the fact that the CORE
spondents must not be elected or ap-
pointed. the non-recognition of the
correspondents, the popularity Of the
organizatory form as the best guar
antee against officialism and bureau
cracy-al these principles have stood
the severe test Of practice.
The conference has now continued
the line laid down: organizatory con-
nection with the newspapers, leader
ship of the workers correspondents
movement by the party newspapers
and by the editors; immediate spe-
cific party political education (his-
tory Of the party, program and sta
tutes, tactics, Leninism, etc.; exact
definition Of the functions of party
political work, and of the work by the
newspapers: detailing OF the organ
izatcry mutual relations in the direc-
ton indicated by the first conference.
The situation is different with the
village correspondents, Here the first
steps have yet to be taken. All the
participants in the conference, all
comrades have thoroughly understood
what enormous and general political
Importance the village correspondents
will have in the future. All have rec
ognized the general political impor-
lance Of the problem at the present
moment And therefore they have
proceeded with such elaboration and
such caution to the laying OF founda-
ton stones for the village correspond
ents' organization.
Beside the question of the workers,
the village and the army correspond
ents, the question of the youth CORE
spondents was also dealt with. The
new form of organization. which
has proved itself to be sufficiently
elastic In order TO serve new cultural
aims, is proceeding TO victory.

Labor Banks Are Success
Another thing which we hear little
commented upon, but which seems to
us very important, is the entrance of
labor unions into the banking field.
OF course this was started from no
love for the financial interests in the
United States The first labor bank
of prominence was started by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
in Cleveland as Il direct slap at the
banking interests of the country, which
were supposed to he hand-inglov
with the railroad owners. This bank
had only been in existence Il little
while before it was obliged to pIr-
chase railroad securities, the same as
other institutions. \ IS time Went on
ii became more and more involved as
a holder of railroad and other securi-
ties and is now being operated very
little differently from the average
Cleveland financial institution.
Keen Competition Aroused
Being the first and alone in its
field, it has grown quite rapidly and
been a success. This bank has been
followed by ether labor banks in New
York, Boston and various cities. The
last new bank of this sort has just
been opened in Philadelphia. and is
known as the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers Title and Trust
Company. 1t doubtless viii do very

| believe this is a splendid thing
for the financial interests of America
1t Will result in teaching labor a side
of the LABOR problem which 1t has
never before realized. and it will throw
a large portion of abor's influence to
the conservative side of American
life. OF course. these banks should
not be started more rapidly than men
can be trained to handle them sue
cessfully. Like every other good
thing. they can he overdone. On the
other hand, ii is good TO have a GER
tain number of them started and have
all of the large unions interested in
financial institutions of their own.
Those who are acquainted with the
early industrial history of England
remember that the guilds were origi-
nally organized as sort of unions"
Tor the workers. but as the workers
became more prosperous these guilds
ultimately developed into employers
and became very con
serNative. Then conditions remained
in status quo fur many years with
out any labor disturbances until work
ing conditions became so intolerable
that the present trade union move
ment had its inception.
History May Repeat.
Many believe that history is today
repeating itself and that the trade
union movement has seen it's most
radical days and from now on will be-
came more and more conservative az
it's leaders gradually become interested
in banking and finance. If so. this
means that labor conditions may re-
main quiesCent for awhile until the
new communiStic or bolshevistic move
ment develops further and the younger

and newer radicals get into power.
There always has been struggle be
have not and there always will be:
in fact. the world wouldn't be much
good unless there was such struggle
in process.
On the other hand, this conflict has
always swung like q pendulum from
one side to the other, and at the pres
ent time the pendulum is just about
midway in it's arc. Present indica
tions are that 1t is liable to stay
uuescent for some months at least.
From the way the Babsonchart is
working, which is now at 2 per cent
below normal. it looks as If general
business would remain balanced also,
with no violent movement in either di-
rection.

Control Means Success

UCoNTRoL in pitching. the art
" OF being able to put the hall
where you want TO. is the whole so.
cret OF successful pitchers" declares
the Spider. And control is OBJ
tsined only after long hours Of
practice.
"iou must keep your eye on
the target when you're shoot
Ing n rifle or gun and the
man In tennis or golf who takes
his eye off OF the bali isn't very
successful.
THE same thing Is true In pitch
ing. you must keep your eye on the
plate and aim your pitches. When
young pitcher goes into the game
be careful to watch him warm up
on the four or five pitches that he
is allowed before tho hitter steps
up TO tho plate. He will simply
throw. acting like he Is warming
up. He Is supposed TO have done
that in the bull pen, but what he
has those few extra pitches on the
mound for Is for him to get his eye
on the plate. And half OF your
young pitchers never even look at
II while going thru this rite.
Good stuff Is necessary. Of
course. such as a curve ball. good
fast one and change OF pace, but
without control a pitcher seldom
