A DISREPUTABLE
FIGURE IN OUR
INDUSTRIAL LIFE

Society has always revealed dou-
BILE code Of ethics-the ethics Of the
oppressed and the ethics of the op-
pressor; the one seeking continually
to overcome the other, and the ethics
of the oppressed eventually becoming
the dominant code. The present trade
union movement is a manifestation of
this. But within the ranks of the
oppressed there has always appeared
an element whose ethics were of a
nondescript complexion, neither fish,
flesh nor fowl, exhibiting none of
the straightforward qualities of either
of the opposing codes. In the pres
ent order new word has been coined
to define the examplars of this anon
alous phase of human character-a
phase of hateful alike to those who
profit by its existence and those who
suffer thereby. The possessors of
this abnormal instinct have been
termed "scabs." No greater reproach
can attach to worker for wages than
to be known as scab. When pick
pocket lifts your wallet, he Injuries
you alone. When a man is drunken
and debauched, is idle and shiftless,
he Injuries only himself and those near
to him. But the scab sins against
all mankind.
The scab is not only detested by his
fellow toilers, but he is scorned and
pushed aside by those for whom he
practices his scabbery, just the mo-
ment they find they can get along
without him. The people for whom
the scab sacrifices the character traits
which decent men cherish regard him
merely as an engine-runner may re-
gard a Wad of waste-uSeful to SWab
up an offensive mess and then to be
destroyed As workingman, the
scab derives benefit, in common with
all other workingmen, from the sue
cess of unionism. When wages are
raised, hours of labor shortened, the
conditions of employment made safe
and sanitary, he also partakes of the
general good. But the benefits he re
ceives in this manner come to him

as pennies to sneak-thief.
Fortunately, there are today few
law-abiding workingnen, with respon-
sibilities for the welfare of others
resting upon them, who are willing
to accept the stigma of scabism. For
this reason, scabs generally are re-
cruited among ex-convicts and the
disreputable 1otsam and jetsam of
industrial life. From the slums of our
large cities come most of the desper-
ADDE'S who are shipped about the coun-
try to serve as strikebreakers. The
meaning of this is significant and en-
couraging 1t shows that the nor
mally self-respecting American work
ingman avoids the taint of scabism
as he would the smallpox.

RADIO RECEPTION
GREATLY IMPROVED
after BAD WINTER
Portland Station Hooks Up
With WEAF At New York
Promises Fine Programs

Radio .broadcasting is coming
back to it's own after over four
months of very unsatisfactory recep.
ton. The past few days have been
the reminder to local radio listeners
of the good old days when they
could sit down to their sets and have
a good entertaining and educational
evening at home. The past winter
has been very unsatisfactory in most
respects, to listeners of broadcast
programs. The volume has been
very poor much of the time and
static was. very heavy nearly every
evening. Fading, too, was very much
in evidence.
During the winter the radio lis
tener usually looks forward to i'm
proved conditions over the summer
months. This has been the case
previous to the past winter, when
radio went all wrong. Even Bos-
ton and the nearby station at Port
land have come through very poor
~ at times. WIZ. the $4,000 watt
station, has been out of range at
times. as well as WNAC, WBZ and
WEEP at Boston.
Ihere has been much exchange of
opinion as to the reason for the poor
reception this year, but there seems
10 be no satisfactory explanation
oIner than atmospheric disturbances.
Inc sun spots which have appeared
the past winter have also been
planned for the trouble, but lust what
has been the case has not been SAT-
lsfactorily explained.
