THE HOPE OF LABOR

Organized labor stands for social
justice, for fair wages, reasonable
hours of labor and decent working
conditions; it hopes to see the dawn
| ing of the day when those who do
the worlds drudgery will get some
thing more for it than miserable
existence and the assurance that all
labor is honorable, and that it is a
great privilege to toll; it INDUCES the
hope that it will not always be nee
essary for human beings, willing to
earn their bread through honest toll,
to trudge in idleness through the
streets of our great cities, cold, hun
CRY and miserable, like vagabond
dogs; it believes that things should
be so altered as to make it possible
for those who bring into being the
worlds necessities, comforts and lux
uries, to live, in world of abundance,
in frugal comfort. And in striving
to bring about these things it invites
the active cooperation of every JUS
tice-loving man and woman. But it
INDUCES in no irredescent dreams as
to the nation or the state or the
municipality or benevolently-inclined
individuals or groups of individuals
bringing such changes to the workers
gratis.
The labor movement fully realizes
that the lot of the worker, both pres
ent and future, rests in his own hands
and that he must work out his des-
tiny himself, and very largely without
outside aid 1t also appreciates that
the task before it is a colossal one
and that the obstacles to be encoun-
5ered are numerous and trying, but
he organized labor movement has
lot, because of these facts, been so
iisheartened as to desire to surrender
o governmental authority the right |
20 fix conditions under which men
will labor, or to exercise stringent |
over their manner of life.
The worker knows that when he sur
enders one right to the state he will
e called upon thereafter to give up
thers, and it is his love of liberty, in
dependence and justice that leads the
Intelligent worker to insist that he
e given the very largest degree of
of action consistent
1ith the welfare of society as
yhole.

LEADERSHIP

The union man who is in the labor
movement only for what he can get
out of it is poor sort of an asset,
although he is better in the union than
out of it. But he never helps the
labor movement to advance. 1t is the
union man who is anxious to do some
thing for the cause who helps to
push the old chariot along. The
trade union movement has been built
by the pushers.
The soldier who joins the army
solely because he gets regular rations
and place to sleep isn't much of a
soldier. The union man who joins a
trade union only because he will get
higher wages isn't much of union
man. The union card is the emblem
of cause; it isn't meal ticket. 1t
is the flag of union labor to be car
ried through good report and ILL,
through easy times and hard, to ad-
vance the cause of the poor, the op-
pressed, the heavily laden, to fight
injustice even though injustice may
be buttressed by wealth and alleged
law
Union labor in the United States
has been fortunate in its leaders
The late Samuel Gompers found or
ganized labor a house divided against
itself. He spent his life in organiz-
ing and solidifying it. His successor.
William Green, is carrying on the
work with admirable energy and ex
cellent judgment. 1t remains for the
local union to do their part.
The quiet man who looks carefully
over the cigar box in order to find
the blue label OF the Cigar Makers
Union before he buys cigar and
doesn't buy it until he sees the label
even if he has to seek out another
store; who looks over the shoes to see
but they bear the shoe workers
stamp before he buys them who
looks inside the hat band for the
hatters' label before he buys hat;
who demands the union label on the
new suit he requires and who gener-
ally boosts union goods on every
available opportunity-that is the
bird that is boosting organized labor

Party is Sure of Control

ashington.-T national cleo
tions resulted in an unusual situation
in the senate. The republicans claim
4S members, the democrats AZ and
the farmer-labor party one-Senator
Shipstead of Minnesota.
s If every member maintained his
paper" designation the administra-
tion would have majority of one.
If Senator Shipstead votes with the
minority party, Vice President Dawes
could break the tie in favor of the
administration.
In the days of strong partisanship
and caucus rule, the situation would
cause no uneasiness, but the admin
istration's paper" strength shrinks
when actual conditions are considered.
Among those listed as republican
senators is Mr.. Frazier, of North Da-
kota, who was refused admission to
the conferences of republican sena
tors and committee assignments taken
from him on the ground that he was
not a republican. Senator Brookhart
has felt the power of machine organ
ization, while Senator Norris, classed
as republican, campaigned in Penn
sylvania for the election of William
B. Wilson, democratic candidate for
senator. The two Wisconsin sena-
tors-Mr. La Toilette and Mr. Blaine
are classed as republicans. They
have opposed that party on major is
sues.
1t is a question, despite these con-
ditions, if the democrats are willing
to attempt to wrest control of the
senate from the administration party.
They will be blocked by hostile chief
executive and house of representa-
tives. If the administration loses the
senate this will serve as an alibi to
that party. The minority group are
aware of this, hence they hesitate to

But in reprisal for this attack, real
or feigned, there have already been
100 killed and some thousand injured.
Italy is getting to be almost as dan
gerous a place as Cicero, Ill.
The whole thing shows, like the des-
potism in Russia, the grotesque ma
ture of dictatorship in these times.
They are all piece Of the world of
yesterday, sticking ugly, dark heads
up out of clouds that should long
since have rolled away, bringing back
with them torture, slavery, bigotry,
and death.
Italy will suffer until Italy recre-
ates Liberty in its political life. IN
til Italy recreates Liberty in it's po-
litical life there can be in Italy no
liberty of any kind.
Because we have political liberty in
the United States we have the oppor-
tunity to bring liberty into every
sphere of our life. We may do this
slowly, but the door is open. In
Italy it is closed and barred with
sinister bars forged in the caves of
ancient times, inscribed with the mys-
tic symbols of evil superstitions,
crowded down upon the heads OF a
people whose destiny is thus stopped
dead in it's tracks, awaiting a day. of
deliverance.

ALL SETTLED

That was very kind of John @.
Baker, loud speaker for the Middle
town News-Signal, selecting all the
deputies and assistants for the new
county officials elect. 1t is to be
taken for granted from Mr.. Bakers
"stick-in" that the officials elect do
not know enough to select efficient
and competent help, that is in Mr..
Bakers mind; so that, no doubt, his
selections for them are very much
appreciated CD by the incoming Off
cials. Middletown, long accustomed
to these regular and intermittent
spasms of "Jawn's," no doubt, got
little kick out of his latest. But to
the rest Of the county it brought a
big laugh, and from the offcials-elect
big hee-haw.

The seating of Senator's elect Ware
of Pennsylvania, and Smith, Of Illi-

the new congress convenes.
Senator Norris claims that outside
of Philadelphia, where the Ware ma

feated by $4,000 majority"

The Cherry
" Where with our
Tree Litt,e Ha,ehst ,.s
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes flippantl-.
sometimes recklessly.

Several fantastic things are now
going on in the world One is the
Fascist performance in Italy. Anoth-
er is the Hall-Mills murder trial.
Another is the Rev. j. Frank Norris
in Texas Aimee Semple Mcpherson
in California helps to fill in the pic
ture, and then there is Queen Marie
of Roumania.
With these movements and person
alities on the worlds stage, surely no
one can complain that the world has
lost its spice.
Perhaps the height of comedy is
reached in the case of the queen. AS
her special train, hauled over the var
ious railroads at only dollar per
haul, neared the circle of it's western
terminus, almost as many persons
were thrown off as there were persons
in De Russey's lane the night DIR.
Hall and his sweetheart were killed
And as far as De Russey's lane is
concerned, it's got so that unless you
were in that lane that night you're
just nobody at all in the social regis
ter of New Brunswick and vicinity.
1t seems to have been-aw-quite the
thing to do.
The trial itself is, like most famous
murder trials, battle of wealth, ex-
perts and social position, against an
opposition which is called the state
and which is composed of the census
roster.
Queen Marie, on the other hand,
came to the United States to play a
queenly role, insofar as that might be
possible in hectic America. What a
CHASTITY farce it has been! A mob
of persons has got cramps in the back
kow-towing themselves onto the
queenly train and into the royal en-
tourage, only to turn upon each other
and kick each other unceremoniously
off the back platform onto the Gin
ders.
In Italy something more serious is
at stake. Something more important
than an opportunity to observe the
antics of those who have ambitions
to bask in reflected sunshine is in
volved in the Mussolini escapades.
Somebody fired shot at the boss
of Italy. 1t is not, apparently, prov
en- that the boy who was killed at
the time did the shooting. 1t may
have been the result of a scheme to
fire fake shot to boost the Mussolini
stock by making him a hero If so,
it's a queer business, because all
Mussolini has to do to make himself
a hero is to proclaim that he is

LABOR INJUNCTIONS

The historic purpose of the injunc-
ton is to protect property where the
plaintiff has no other remedy at law.
This process was never intended to
interfere with human relations or with
the functions of government.
By the simple trick of reviving the
serf ideal-that labor is property
workers have silently been swept un-

der the injunction writ.

OST lIlc lilJui1CIlOH VIII.
If labor is property the labor in
junction is correct.
If labor is not property, the labor
injunction is judicial usurpation.
Under the first supposition it is idle
to plead with injunction judges. 1t
is waste of time to attempt to weak
en- their blows against personal liberty
and government by law.
Power begets power; repression
feeds on repression.
To attempt to regulate the injunc-
tion judge is to acknowledge his usur-
patton. To endeavor to defeat him
with rules he himself made is folly.
The injunction Judge should be
fought along fundamental lines.
Congress creates inferior federal
courts and congress can define the
jurisdiction of these courts. The
United States constitution says so
This has been affirmed by the supreme
court.
Congress should notify these courts
that their strike time writs are illegal
and that the original purpose of the
injunction protection of property
only-should be re-established
Labor power is the life of the hui
man being and is not transferable.
The product of labor power is prop
erty, or wealth. 1t is transferable
and under certain conditions, is sub,
ject to equity jurisdiction.
The labor injunction rests on the
confusion of these terms. The ques-
ton must be clarified as it reaches
down to the very fundamentals of de-
mocracy and challenges government
by law.

THE PEOPLE WIN IN ELECTRIC

PLANT INJUNCTION CASE
One more round goes to the credit
of the people of Hamilton in their
fight to erect a new electric light
plant. In the injunction suit filed by
James K. Cullen, E. G. Ruder and
Homer Gard to prevent construction
of the new plant, Judge A. C. Ris-
niger, of Eaton, who heard the suit,
the demurrer of the city was sustained
in every manner. In fact, from the
tone of Judge Risinger's decision, it
is judged that his honor's opinion of
the claims of the petitioners are ri
diculous.
That the amount in the city treas
ury for the purpose is insufficient to
construct the plant, as the petition
ers claim, has nothing to do with it.

ing to prevent the city from issuing

through with the rest. The goal is
$500 at the least and must be reached
within 10 days. The Blues are climb
ing up the percentage ladder but need
the help of the local fans to send them
up the financial hill which is facing
them just now. So the Dollar club"

than a buck is wanted in this case
but 500 of those-and as many more
as fans may wish to give-are sought
right now.

TEAM CONFIDENT

LONDON, May 19.-American mas
ters of wood and iron, members of

slept aboard the "Flying Scotsman,
speeding toward Edinburgh and the
British amateur conflict which starts
Monday at Muirfield.
Bob Gardner of Chicago, captain of

before leaving tonight that he be-
lieved the team was rounding into
shape and that he had the greatest
confidence that the Americans would
be thoroughly acclimated and accqs-
toned to British conditions of play
for the Walker cup contests at st.
Andrews more than week away.

able to the large number of engage
ments the Americans had kept but
after the matches English hospitality
showed no signs of relenting. The
team went to the houses of parlia-
ment and dined in state with Premier
Baldwin and former Premier MacDon-

SACRIFICE ERA

While home runs continue to be
made in the majors, the records prove
the swat game is on the decrease.
If you would have proof of this
fact give thought to the sacrifice hits
that are daily made in the big
leagues as you peruse the summary
of the box score.
Of course the new rule that per-
mits the scoring of fly ball that is
caught as a sacrifice, provide a run
ner advance a base on the out, has
Increased the sacrifice totals, but it
fails to accurately account for tho
greatly increased figures in this style
of play.
With pitching much improved,
many ball games are being won by
one-run margins this year, in which
the sacrifice hit as a rule plays a
prominent part.

GOLF POPULARITY


Recently someone asked me why
golf was so immensely popular with
major league ball players.
My answer was that 1 believed that
the two games had something in
common, particularly as to the de-
sire to get distance to the drives.
However, decided to get first
hand information and, selecting a
dozen stars whom I knew Were keen
for the game and good players as
we'll, 1 put the question of why they
liked golf to them.
tits the long game that appeals to
me in golf. 1 like to hit them mile
from the tee. It's a great thrill"
That in substance was the reply
that received from all the players
to whom the question was put
Say, / get about as much pleas
ure out of driving a long ball from
the tee in golf as I do hitting a home
run in baseball" was Babe Ruth's
reply.
It's the long driving in golf that
makes the game SO popular with me-.
jor league ball players. That's the
big appeal.
Not a single player said he cared
for the short, game and all admitted
lheir weakness was on the greens.
