Is there any neighbor quite so hard
to deal with charitably as that
plentiful type, the SNUG, the COM
placent woman?
We can love the slattern. the
spendthrift. the gad-about, the flirt,
We can love almost any other sort Of

But that placid!y boasting. little
self-satisficd Amy Wilson, how she
does jar the who:e block, the club,

Her husband, her house, her chill
dren, her maid. ger brother in De
troit that we never saw, her dresses
and flower-garden, her long-dcad
grandfather and her first music
teacher back in Oakland, California
ARE all separate types Of perfec-
ton, according to her.
The Wilson's maid is so devoted
that she often gives up her free day
rather than have Amy do the cook
ing; the Wilson children are just
little Amazons, they can eat any
thing-never have had a sick mo-
ment in their lives That is part
ly because Amy tries so prettily and
so smilingly TO be 'iust sensible"
with them, and then, she says, her
doctor is really the finest child
specialist in the city, and everyone
will admit il some day.

When Amy buys materials they
are always bargains, and when Amy

Blessed after all, are the meek.
There is something disarming about

school-teacher called to discuss the

"Your oldest girl is a sweet child"

the mother said complacently.
You'll find her a very superior type

human rights which are the inner
itance of free men.
In the days gone by, when the
worker had no control over his life
as an employee, he was the helpless
servant of an arbitrary, tyrannical
master. He wa scompeled to accept
unjust conditions of employment in
the same hopeless, helpless attitude
which has led millions to bow down
in submission before a monarch's
tyranny. The great revolutions of the
past overthrow thrones, and estab-
lished political liberty in their places.
Countless thousands have died so that
mankind could enjoy the priceless
blessings of religious and political
freedom, but the wage Garner dis
covered that political and religious
freedom We're not sufficient to protect
all of his interests.
To these two priceless blessings it
was necessary to add another-the
right to industrial liberty, the right
to say how, when and under what
conditions one man should work as
the employee of another. This last
great, important right the labor move
ment has won without the frightful
carnage of the battlefield.

Another dream of small minority
was exploded at Atlantic City as in
Champaign and Urbana at the state
convention. The attempt to link the
American Federation of Labor with
Soviet Russia.
The wisdom of rejecting all such
appeals is found in the fact that labor
in Soviet Russia and all other new
European democracies is of an en-
tirely different type than that repre-
scented by the American Federation of
Labor.
President Green wisely called atten-
ton to the tendency of Soviet Russia
to overthrow the government and de-
clared that the American Federation
of Labor could extend no sympathy
for a movement that does not recog-
nize the authority of the state.
Sympathy for the masses all over
the world who are struggling to bet
ter their condition is entirely different
from sanctioning a cause which may
ultimately blight the hopes of the
workers of the world.

Efforts to pull the American Fed

tangle failed at Atlantic City as COM
pletely as a similar effort at the
recent state convention of the Illinois
Federation of Labor.
The American Federation of Labor
shows a complete unanimity in dodg-
ing issues that hitherto have had the
effect of breaking the harmony of the
organization. This is more apparent

Gompers directed the Labor movement
the undesirable elements were weeded
out, or rather they weeded them
selves out, leaving a sane, conserya-
tive organization which is destined
to WELD greater power than ever IN
the history of the Labor movement.
1t is a thorough and satisfactory
test of the qualifications of the pres

EMPLOYMENT INCREASES IN
ILLINOIS.

A turn for the better has come fof
the working people and employers Of
Illinois, according 10 the report OF the
Illinois Department Of Labor from
employers in wide rang Of employ
ment and representing 40 per cent OF
the factory employees of the state,
shows that manufacturers of the state
have taken on "a per cent more EN-
ployees than they had in August.
Assuming the same rate Of growth to
run throughout the industries Of the
state, it appears that about lS,0Oo
more people were at work in the
month Of September than were en-
ployed in August. 1t is the largest
growth the industries of Illinois has
experienced since early 1923, and is
more melcome due to the fact that
winter is almost here with the in
creased family expenses at hand.
Indications of a favorable turn ii
the trend Of industry is to be seen in
the state labor market which has beer
over supplied with eager job-seekers
for many months. Reports from the
free employment offices shows that
during September the ratio of appll-
eants to jobs declined to 100 per 100
which is the lowest ratio since 1923

Der compares with 1913 in September

We are fast approaching a stage
when the so-called minor crimes are
punished with heavier penalties than
major crimes. Throughout the coun-
try the tendency is toward intoler-
ance.
Constituted as we are it is practi-
cally impossible to give due regard to
all forms of crime, and the conse-
quence is that we punish more severe
ly the crime which happens to be the
most unpopular.
Just now the evil of selling and
drinking Intoxicating liquor in any
form stamps the victim who is caught
as the worst possible menace to So
ciety. Fines imposed upon common
drunks are heavier than those imposed
upon men and women who are caught
violating the social code. Here n
Champaign the person who is found
guilty Of immoral conduct gets Of
with the light penalty of $3.50 while
the plain drunk must pay the court
$3.50, yet if we are to credit the
ancient laws of mankind the former
is a far more serious ofrense than
drunkenness.
In every age crime is a question of
emphasis. Authorities do for the
most part what the public demands
they shall do. If intoxication is the
greatest crime in the world, and some
excellent people verify believe that it
is, we should commence hanging men
for drinking.

There is no better educative agency
in the world than the motion picture
film. Labor realizes this fact and
proposes to utilize the movies TO teach
the lessons of Organized Labor.
President John IL. Walker has ar

be shown emphasizing the need Of
purchasing only Union made goods.
During the convention here dele
gates spoke of the unsanitary condi-
tons surrounding the penitentiaries
where garments are made and dis
tributed wherever sale is possible
The picturs will convey a much more
convincing message than the speeches
of delegates, and are likely to draw
extensively from the non-union
classes.
When the pictures appear in the
Twin Cities we advise that all workers
avail themselves of the opportunity
to see the truth portrayed on canvass.

Comment and Criticism


The British Labor party has taken
an Official stand against Communists.
Reds are not to be allowed TO run for
office. 1t looks good and it looks clear
cut.
But il looks better than it is. How
good 1t is is better judged by the ac-
ton of the Trade Union Congress
which was much easier on the Reds
and which even insisted on looking
longingly in their direction.
One flaw about our understanding
OF the situation in the British Isles is
the newspaper reporting through
which We get so much of our infor-
nation. 1t is NOT good enough re-
porting,
1t is good that the British Labor
party has turned down the Reds, but
the party membership is still perme-
ated with them and no effective ac-
ton has been taken to put a stop TO
that.
Every blow against Communism in
British labor ranks, industrial or 20
litical, is that much to the good, but
1t helps nothing to see rainbowS Of
hope where there are none.
Americans who cherish the ideals of
liberty and self government on which
the United States was founded will
be inclined to sympathize with Gov
ernor Blaine of Wisconsin in his de-
mand that negotiations with the
French debt commission be broken off
unless France Immediately ceases its
warfare in Morocco.
The Governor declares that easier
terms of debt settlement serve to aid
debtor nations in creating and using
