THE TELEPHONE

ut is easy to see why the telephone
stones of civilized life in America. No
business can render efficient service
without its aid And who can say
what percentage Of the amazing
growth of business in America is di-
rectly traceable to the influence of
the telephone?
mo man starts in business today
without a telephone. A man who
hasn't a telephone isn't in business!
A man who fails to make the maxi
mum use of his telephone doesn't stay
in business
ut is the telephone more than any
other one thing which enables him to
serve his customers.
I'm the same way, no man sets up
a household nowadays without install
ing a telephone. Whether his wife is
left alone in the suburbs with the
children, or isolated in a farmhouse
far from neighbors, or shut up in an
apartment in the city, every man
wants his wife within speedy reach
of assistance in case of reed.
"The telephone is burglar alarm,
protection against accidents, with
the doctor at the other end, and at
the same time one of the best forms
Of fire insurance. But, better than
its business uses-better than its
household value, transcending all it's
other uses-is its quiet, continuous
influence, for neighborliness.
"Now the telephone has turned it.
self into a universal committee Of cor
respondence. 1t is knitting our peo-
pie together with magnetic currents
that convey across hundreds and
thousands of miles the personal mag
netism Of the human voice. -. %. .. r..

A VOLCANO PARK

Some people might think that the
|. W. WIS are the only disturbers Of
the peace in the great United States,
but this is not SO, for we have vol
canos, which erupt at their own sweet
will. For instance, Mt. Lassen, in
northern California. Many scientists
thought it was almost dead, when not
so long ago it suddenly startled not
only California and the United States
but the whole world, after it had re-
mained almost asleep for two CEN
turies. Lassen has given its name to
a National park. 1t is midway be-
tween the Sierra Nevadas and the
Cascades and rises to a height of 10,-
400 feet. So wonderful is this vol
cano that congress has set aside the
whole of it, lava, fields, lakes,
springs, and the canyons which sur
round it for an area Of 124 square
miles, for government reservation,
to be known as Lassen Volcanic Ma
tional Park.
There are sometimes heard terrific
rumblings from the interior, with
smoke and steam escaping at inter
walls, but no real serious outbreaks for
sometime.

HE'S HERE AGAIN

Just as soon as the snow fell the
fellow who would rather break a new
path than travel in a well beaten way
gave evidence that he is still with us.
He got on his job early and started
several trails zig-zag through the
court house yard, and others, like a
flock of sheep, followed his lead un-
til a number of we'll beaten thorough
fares, some starting at "keep off the
grass" signs, were in general use.
The result will be seen in the spring
when the grass starts, and each of
these unlawful pathways will mar the
beauty of the park lawns.

The employers of labor are organ
lied. They have selected the BRAIN
lest men that the schools turn out and
that money. can employ to lead them
in their business enterprises, because
they themselves cannot wholly man
age their affairs on account Of the
lack of either time or experience.
Frequently these men are the rep
resentatives of numerous stockholders
who have dubbed together for mutual
benefit. They call their representa-
tive in the shop superintendent or
manager" They might just as ap-
propriately call him business agent, "
for he stands in exactly the same re-
lationship to those who employ him as
does the regular business agent to
the trades union.
Every argument that the superin-
tendent uses in declining to deal with
the representatives of the labor union
comes back upon himself like a boom
erang.
If the stockholders of the corpora
tion choose to employ lawyer or a
business man or an organizer to con-
duct their affairs, they have perfect
right to do so. And if their en-
ployees are compelled to deal with
him instead of directly with those
who employ them, then, by the same
token, the employees have the right
to employ lawyer, a business man or
an organizer to conduct their affairs.
1t must logically follow that these
two representatives-the employers
and the employees on level
in the transaction of Such business as
may concern both the members Of the
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-01-02
RECOGNIZING THE BUSINESS AGENT

corporation and the members of the
trades union.
When the manager of the corpora
ton foolishly argues that he will
deal only with those who are in the
employ of the company, declining to
have anything to do with the man
whom these same employees have Sc
lected to present their claims, then
the men may with equal justice de-
cline to deal with him, insisting upon
dealing directly with the stockholders,
and for precisely the same reasons
that he himself advances.
The business agent of the trades
union ordinarily understands the
technical aspects Of the trade far bet
ter than the men themselves. He
knows the situation not only in the
power plant or factory, but in the
trade as a whole. He is familiar
with forms of bargaining and con-
tracts. The average workingman
hasn't the time nor the ability to keep
posted with regard to such matters.
He has therefore followed the exam
pie OF his employer by engaging an
expert who can do these things for
him. In these times of collective bar
gaining, it is necessary for both sides
to have their specialists.
Aside from all other considerations
there comes to the employee the ne
cessity of engaging an outsider who
cannot be boycotted or discharged by
the employer because of his activity
in behalf of the men. In self defense
the employees are compelled to engage
someone whom the boss cannot
touch.

GOT THE WRONG DOPE

An error occurred in the "Hired
Mans" comments upon the differences
between the Board of Education and
the Janitor of the WOodside school
building. The statement was made
that Mr. Mitchell secured an injunc-
ton against the Board, which was a
mistake, as it was just the reverse.
1t was the Board of Education which
was granted temporary restraining
order to prevent the alleged interfer-
ence of the official they desired to
remove.
Mr.. Mitchell claims all legal find
ings so far, are favorable to him, and
refers to court records in substantial
tion of his claim. He says the end is
not yet, as he will carry it up and
push the matter until he has secured
justice and been vindicated in the
eyes of his friends.

Merry HOld-Un

After making a couple of trifling
purchases at the Star grocery, on
North and Fourth streets at eleven
o'clock Saturday night, two unidenti-
fled men, at the point of gun, forced
the bookkeeper Mary Wheeler, and
Joe Odendahl and Carl Priest, clerks
to enter the ice box, and after locking
them in rifled the cash register of
$225.50 and successfully made their
escape Within a few minutes after
being shut in the ice box the prison
ers forced the door open and Priest
started in pursuit of the hold-up men,
but lost trace of them on Hudson ave-
nue.. Thus far they have not been To-
Gated.

flower hog"
Hundreds Of species of beautiful wild
flowers are threatened with extinction-in-
deed are already almost extinct-because of
the Glover hog" he says.
The term needs no explanation. People
automobilists, principally-ride out into the
country, pluck an auto full Of wild flowers
and carry them home only to find them with
cred when they get there. Then the posies are
thrown away and nobody gets chance to en-
JOY them.
We can't help sympathizing with the
flower hog" of course. They have love for
the beauty in nature, they wouldn't carry
wild flowers home with them. They are unfor-
tunate, however, in lacking the vision to see far
enough ahead-to picture the time when the
flowers they now enjoy will be extinct through
their own fault of selfshness.
How much better it would be to heed DR..
Pitts advice. He says,
eff you wish a bunch Of flowers for the
table, daisies, violets and other plentiful field
flowers may be taken without harm. But don t
pick the rarer, more delicate wild flowers, if
you really love them
