Serfd0m Is Upheld
BY Southern Court

Atlanta. Nov. 2-Jerome Jones
veteran editor Of the Journal Of La
Dor, smashes into the state supreme
court approval Of a Georgia law that
makes il Illegal TO entiee labor from
an employer by offering higher com
pensation.
"This attempt TO prevent labor from
leaving the state is a revival Of leu
dalism,p says the labor editor.
"A more clever scheme for setting
up property rights in free men could
not have been devised. The feuda
lord enjoyed no more absolute SOY.
ereignty over his williams than is pos.
sible under this act. II subjects the
honest employer to intimidation az
well as the employe. We may vel
imagine an employer demanding that
the state cause to be returned 70 hin
certain employees who have been 'en'
ticed away by promises Of higher COM
pensation.'
"But it will not work today Labor
must be free. The country is still
suffering under that fallacious eco.
nomic doctrine that prosperity depends
upon the existence Of a cheaper labor
supply.
aSurely, Georgia hasn't gone mad
II so, well may Georgia homes and
Georgia children ask, What price

Speed Test System

Washington, Nov. 2. - Organized
post office clerks are preparing to
launch an attack against the speed
up system in post offices when con-
gress convenes. At the last convention
of the National Federation of Post
Office Clerks this was voted as one
of the major issues in the unions
legislative program.
The system originated in the Chi
cago post office. The victims of this
scheme deny that it rewards efficiency.
'1t's real effect these workers say,
"is to ecourage dishonesty and ere
ate rivalry among employees, out Of
which comes all the attending evils oil

sion and dishonest competition
In the last congress Representative
Schneider introduced a bill to outlaw
the system, The Wisconsin lawmaker

Stock Ownership
Plan To BE Revised

New York, Nov. 2.-T1e Standard
Oil company cf New jersey will re-
wise its system of selling stock to
employees. Under the present system
employees may subscribe for stock to
the amount of 20 per cent of their
wages. 1t is found that employees sell
this stock when the market price
justihes.
The company is not interested in
making stock profits for employees.
What it wants is to hold these work
ers to their jobs, and it is believed
that stock to the amount of 10 per
cent of their wages will accomplish
the same purpose.
To secure this stock employees must
retain ownership of at least two-thirds
of the stock purchased under the
original plan.
The company is hopeful that the
new scheme will convince the workers
they are headed straight for indus
trial democracy and complete owner
ship of the Standard Oil company of
New Jersey.
