war whoop that has been heard by
his braves in every nook and corner
of the State.
THE most adroit appeal for sym

that he has sent out TO his followers.
at walls like a banshee through the
dusty corridors of the old stone State
House and gives many Legislators the
shivers," he continues. The only
excuse that the paid lobby Of labor
has for demanding this legislation Is
that trade unionism has not been rec
ognized to the full extent of its greedy
appetite
The officers of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor are hopeful Of
success with the Cuthbertson bill, but
are not permitting themselves to be
come over-sanguine. 1t is realized
that there will be a hard fight ahead
in the House even if the measure goes
through the Senate successfully.
Foes of Measure Well Organized
The Illinois Manufacturers Asso-
citation, the Illinois Chamber of Com
merce and the Associated Employers
have thorough organizations in every
General Assembly district in the State
and committees have been constantly
on the job over week-ends, when men,
bers of the Legislature are at their
homes, to labor with the solons in
efforts to gain their opposition to the
injunction limitation bill.
Organized labor's solution of this
problem is to get on the job with a
vengeance, deluging the members OF
both houses of the Legislature with
letters kilograms, telephone calls and
personal appeals. The. personal touch
is the most effective. Wherever pos.
sible, committee should wait on the
Representatives and Senators and
make it plain to them that organized
labor is earnestly and whole-heartedly
back of the injunction limitation bill.

Burden Is On The Board
Not On The Governor

Perhaps We may as well be cain
over the governors veto of the SAM
tary District bonding bill. A typhoid
fever epidemic is not about to burst
upon Chicago as a result of the veto
not now nor ever,
Before the bin was passed il was
analyzed In detail by various agencies
established for the welfare of the city,
and the conclusion was reached that IT
provided more money than was needed
and that this provision was not by
any means all for known and stipulai-
ed purposes. In effect, it gave the
Sanitary District board a huge allow
ance for spending money.
The governors position, as he
stated it, was that so large a sum
ought not to be allowed unless the
precise necessity for every dollar of It
were shown and approved by the tax
payers, and that, further there should
be safeguards assuring that it would
be spent as announced.
This position and his substitute for
the original bill, we are now told by
the professional Small haters, are
merely weapons to force division OF
patronage. So doubtless was the bui-
letin of the efficiency commission
which opposed the bill. To secure
this purpose the governor, we are as
sufed, is willing to triflle with an
epidemic.
The perfectly well known fact Is
that the board has money enough in
hand and available to begin its pro-
gram. The board knows-nobody
better--that money for any program
approved by the government and the
people will be forthcoming. The gov
ernor, not being wholly uniformed
on public affairs, also knows this. II
anybody is trifling with an epidemic,
It is the board, which in this bonding
matter is showing the same attitude
that it has often shown in the past.
But even the stupidest political
alarmist in Chicago whoever he may
be, knows that nobody is trifling with
an epidemic. Chicago is not about to
be the victim of a germ war inaug-
urated by an indignant national gov
ernment. The upshot will be that the
board, which is in charge of the SAM
tary District and the governor, VINO
is in charge of the state, will agree
sooner or later on a program for
sensible spending, the national gov
ernment will eoldly, scientifically and
examine and approve the
program. and a permanent system OF
disposing Of waste will be perfected.
Meanwhile the burden is on the board
to present sound program for spend
ing. not on the governor for opposing
an unsound one.

Ohio Supreme Court
Lives 100 Years Ago

Columbus, Ohio, May 2G.--Just 100
years ago, during a great storm and
high tide IN England, Mrs. Partington
attempted 10 sweep back the Atlantic
ocean with broom
The Ohio state supreme court has
duplicated this old lady's effort by is
decision that the union shop contract
IL illegal.
The case came up from Cleveland.
The street car company of that city
and its employees submitted a wage
dispute TO arbitration. Dissatisfied
With the award, the company appealed
10 the courts. which set aside the arbl-
tradon decision on the ground that
It's union-shop provision is Illegal.
The workers asked the state supreme
court to reject this last-centuty view
point. but the court declined.
A feature Of the supreme court
decision was its acceptance Of the
term closed" shop, in referring TO the
union shop, which anti-uuion em-
ployers use 70 conceal their hostility
TO workers organizations.
These employers have confused the
public and now they have befuddled
the Ohio high court, which accepts a
term that Is intended 10 associate
trde unionism with monopoly.
This viewpoint is persisted in, de
spite the energy and vast sums Of
money used by trade unionists 70
carry their message 10 the morgan
lied.
Instead Of using the correct terms
"unionn and "anti-union" shop-the
Ohio supreme court accepts the term
coined by trade union opponents, and
then easily assumes the position that
a CLOSED" union is against the pub
lie interest.

cfsra is greatly perturbed over the
.,.dtea bill which was introduced IN

T'..hsgfson and which was drawn by
'.f..ers of the State Federation of
linn as a substitute for the soccer

Anticipating that the Soderstrom

The judiciary committee of the Sen

Which is No. 422, and recommended Its

committee has tackled on one small
amendment which does not materially
change the bill.
Leaders Strongly Favor Measure
One of the very hopeful signs, IN
the Senate is that Senator John Daley
of Peoria. chairman of the committee
which has charge of the bill In the
Senate. and Senator Richard j. Barr
Of Joliet. a member of the committee,
both went strongly on record for the

Financiers Still Sanguine
Over Business Outlook
By International Labor News Service.

Bv International Labor News Service.
New York, May 26.-Big indus
trialists and bankers continue to be
encouraged over the business outlook.
Conditions were bad last summer but
bv the end Of the year great fellet
was manifest. With summer activity
in farming and building encouraging
the outlook still is fair, according 10
fnanciers.
Checked from the labor standpoint
the indication is that there Is a sllghl
recession in the peak of expansion.
Labor Bureau, Inc, reports more wage
increases during April than any month
since last July showing that labor s
position has been well maintained
In the face of somewhat shaky bust
ness conditions. Compared with
wear ago there has been an Increase
in weekly earnings, throughout the
United States of per cent. This has
been met by a slight rise in living
cost. Real wages are virtually IN
changed.
Commerce with Europe continues 10
gain as Europe makes its painful re-
coyerv from the after-war collapse.
Much of this Is grain sent to ease crop
failures.
The Federal Reserve Boards re-
mort shows wheat exports rose 149
per cent. cotton 40 per cent, copper
II per cent. accounting for the COM
merce revival. Basic industries are
slowing up, surveys show.
An interesting comment IS that sale
of clothing continues dull, mainly I
i said. because consumers have pur-
chased 10000 600 automobiles which
rbev are paying for by skimping on
apparel. The rest Of the loose cash
is being used to pay for 100000

Americans in Paris
Want Racy Shows

The theater in Paris is not place
that 1 would recommend to bevy OF
babes from Bryn Mawr as an ideal
spot to try their commencement ex-
ercises, but most of the risque shows
in Paris are put on for the visitors
from England, Italy, Spain and the
u. S. A. The last named, I may say,
when it comes to digging for dirt in
strange lands, makes a crowd of coal
miners look like a flock of whate
wings.
l must admit that back stage" in
Paris they could do with a few little
commodities like washing powder, in
cense, cleansers, antiseptics, and
small vacuum cleaners for their minds.
Their hearts, however, are very
big. They have to be. The chorus
girls do have to stand in with not
only the manager but the property
man, call boy, musical director-ln
fact, how they can stand in so much
and still get only $50 a month is as
founding. 1t makes me think that
perhaps after all the French have no
heads for figures, except in the nude.
I think perhaps the theater in Eng
alnd is the most charming of all. l
mean it's so much more social than
ours. Why, hang it all, the best peo-
pie go on the stage over there, by
jove! Titles and everything Raw
Their! The very best people.
Of course they may be the very
worst actors, but they are charming
and they don't go on the stage as if
they were going Summing, as is apt
to be the case in democratic coun-
try like ours.
They consider it one or perhaps
even two steps upward when they
escape society and "catch a career"
