ORGANIZED LABOR
Continued from Page One)

proper regard and just recognition
of the rights of all concerned =.
1.-THE practical operation of such
plan of understanding must neces-
sarily be based upon the presump-
ton that employers and employees
are no longer inspired by hate, NAL
ice and enmity toward eaech other.
Instead, the antagonistic and hostile
attitude SO characteristic of the old
order in industry must be supplanted
by friendly relationship. and
sense of obligation and responsible
ity. This is the newer concept Of
modern trade unionism.
In expounding this philosophy
am conscious of the fact that there
are employers of labor and workers
in industry who take sharp issue
with the views here expressed :
The employers in this group are OPP
posed to collective bargaining be-
cause they believe that ownership in
industry is supreme, superceding all
other rights The workers
who constitute this other group are
opposed to collective bargaining be-
cause they assert it means wage
slavery. They do not believe in
wage contracts or wage scale regu-
lations. They preach class war and
class trouble. They are opposed to
the existing social order, to what
theey term capitalism" and pretend
to look forward to the time when
capitalism will be destroyed and the
rule of the rroletariat will be substi-
tuted in its place =
1.-THE best answer which can be
made to those who challenge the
workability Of collective bargaining
is the fact that it has been working
successfully in many industries and
in many fields of employment

The program consisted Of six read

First Burials in
MurphysbOr0 Are
Badly Mangled Bodies

Murphysboro. Ills, March 20-(By
a. PD-Murphysboro's death list
from Wednesdays tornado was in
creased today when the recovery of
bodies and the deaths Of injured
brought the total to 100.
Despite the growing death toll and
predictions that it would be still
further increased. the atmosphere
changed suddenly from one sur
of fair equanimity.
The change was manifested in the
attitude of relief workers, national
guard officers and townspeople them
selves, who, accustomed after three
days to the tangled wreckage which
filters virtually the entire city and
the wilderness where 1000 residences
once stood, joked over narrow es-
capes and freaks of the wind.
Through it all, however, there was
no let-up in the efforts to alleviate
the suffering of the approximately
700 injured, more than 800 of whom
were still in serious condition.
Nearly 1000 persons are homeless.
Enough doctors and nurses were
in the Murphysboro area to take
care of the situation, desperate
though it was. A medical regiment
from chicago was nelQ at CdrDOn-
dale today as there was no need for
| it here.
There was no excess of relief sup
plies, however, and a constant stream
of victims, many of whom possessed
| nothing but the clothing on their
backs, much of it in rags, passed
! through relief stations.
Throughout the area, former resi-
| dents plodded about the wreckage of
their homes, searching for valuables.
One young bride tearfully asked the
correspondent if the fire which had
turned her diamond engagement
ring yellow had destroyed it's value.
Among the medical supplies arriv-
| ing today were more than 700 units
of anti-tetanuS serum. Within ten
| minutes after the fluid was stored at
the Elks club. relief headquarters, a
mother was begging the chairman Of
| the general relief committee to have
d treatment given her little boy, who
suffered long with a broken arm be-
fore he finally received attention.
The serum was sent by airplane
! from Indianapolis.
The first burials took place today
when upwards of two score of ter
ribly mangled bodies were laid to
| rest.
Thanks to sunny skies, the threat
of a disease epidemic has not at
| tended the exposure, crowdlng and
| privations incident to the freakish
play of the elements. A number of
pneumonia cases, however, were re-
ported this afternoon.
