WASTE IN INDUSTRY

1t is not uncommon these days to
read of workers demands for elimi-
nation of waste and the reorganiza-
tion of their especial industry. When
they strike, they emphasize this pre-
ventable loss.
The new attitude has been gradual.
1t is often unnoticed.
With the workers development
comes knowledge that his interests
are linked with every social activity.
He points to the price that he and
every other citizen-pays for indus
trial disorder and chaos.
The unionists' new attitude is not
based on theory. It is based on hfe's
experiences and necessities.
1t is natural sequence of labor's
protests against ignorance, unsanita.
ton, preventable sickness and fatal.
ties in industry.
The workers have a mine of infor.
matiGn and the machinery to exploit
same. But this is often ignored by
those who insist on the autocratit
ideal; who believe that the theory OF
management is to "give orders"
The autocrat strived to develop a
spirit, morale, among employees, but
he can not realize that this is 9
growth, rather than a creation.
The mere mechanics of good will is
futile. Company unions" and well
fare plans will not suffice.
Workers must be accorded, in full
measure, the right to unite and to de-
velop their own selves by their own
method
Their demand for voice in indus
try, for the correction of evils that
tax all, must be granted.
The demand to eliminate all forms
of waste in industry indicates the ex-
pansion of trade unionism.

LOSSES IN GERMAN
MONEY

Washington. - The German en-
bassy warns the public that huge
losses will be sustained by widespread
speculation now going on in bank
notes and bonds of the old German
mark issues. The paper mark cur
rency, after having lost it's value, was
recently abolished by Germany. Paper
mark bonds and securities depend
upon the revaluation law of 1925.
People who buy this money and bonds
face heavy losses.

THE UNION LABEL

Trade unionism has won many
glorious industrial victories for the
wage-earner of this country during
the last century, and it's triumphs
during the last twenty-five years have
been marvellous, but there is yet much
to be done. To succeed in accom-
plishing the humane and highly essen
tial purposes which it is seeking, or
ganized labor has been and is using
various methods, including strikes
boycotts. Frequently in these col
umns have we declared, however, that
organized labor's greatest weapon,
exclusive of the building trades, is
the little union label.
Were every trade unionist and all
the members of his family, his rela-
tives, friends and acquaintance, tc
insist on purchasing only such prod
ucts as bore a union label, a COM
plete, general and decisive victory for
trade unionism would be won. There
would be no more strikes no more
boycotts-and no more lockouts. The
power held by these tiny emblems of
trade unionism is talismanic and mag
ical. In their adoption and accept
ance reposes, as we have often said,
the solution of all labor's problems
and aspirations. They are the crux
of the whole agenda of organized
labor.

TRADE UNIONISM AND RELIGION
Trade unionism is closely related to
religion. They both stand for the
elevation of the human race, both in
dividually and collectively. They both
call for much cooperation between
large numbers of persons and for
much tolerance, if there is to be har-
mony, and if there is not harmony
there is not efficiency.
Trade unionism and religion both
have to deal with details, and unless
care is used in details will be stress
ed to greater extent than their
Importance warrants.
There is much need, in the case Of

NO LABOR SHORTAGE

Portland, Ore.-There is no labor
shortage in this state, despite con-
trary reports. The seasonal employ
ment commission states that in a few
sections the short berry season has
exhausted the labor supply, and in
other sections this demand, that only
lasts few weeks, is met At no point
is there labor shortage in industry.

both of them, to center the mind on
big issues and important matters.
How much blood has been shed with
in the Christian church over compara-
lively unimportant matters! How
much time and energy is wasted in
organized labor over small jurisdic-
ton fights, personal rivalries and
similar things!
Clearly, the need is great for much
attention to be given to the big issues;
to the doings Of labor as whole,
here and abroad, and to matters that
are of supreme Importance. When
this is done, little room is left for the
little things.

ATTACK PRIMARY LAW

Columbus, Ohio.-Agents of privi
lege in various sections of the state
are attempting to develop a public
opinion against the primary law. The
mob caucus plan is more desirable
to this gentry, who are capitalizing
primary scandals in Pennsylvania.

Kansas City, Mo.-Judge Reeves, of
the federal district court, has ruled
that where a radio broadcasting sta
tion has accepted license from the
department of commerce, this is, in
effect, an agreement, and the station
cannot change its wave length or
operate outside specified hours.
The department of justice has held
that Secretary Hoover has no control
over radio, but Judge Reeves says he

interested might agree upon"

THE PRIMARIES

Well, the two big political party
derbies are run and we now know
the eligibles for the big race to be
run in November. There isut any
doubt whatever, speaking of the can
didates for county office, hut what
both parties present the strongest
tickets they have ever offered in the
long history of the county The re-
publican county ticket, wnilo strong
in most all instances, however, has
several candidates that are objection
able to labor. The most outstanding
of these being the Rev. C.. C. Falken-
stine, of Middletown, again nominated
by that party for representative.
Falkenstine proved false to his trust
during his present term of office in
backsliding on solemn promises he
made, and why in the name of all that
is holy the republican party would
stand for his caliber going on their
ticket again is beyond our ken. More
of this later.
The democrats have selected a
splendid ticket. Way above the aver
age. There is just one big fly in the
ointment of success, however, that
should be squelched at once. Ano
that is, the announcement by dis.
gruntled defeated candidate, shoulc
Dave DeArmond be nominated fol
state senator, that he, the disgruntleG
would be an independent candidate fol
the office. Better spike thaJ leak a
once, fellows, for the good of tn,
cause. Otherwise, when too late, i
may start something that will be hare
to stop. Shut it off.

YET "A FARMER NATION"

Contrary to general opinion, the
largest percentage of wealth in the
United States is found in agriculture,
and not in industry.
This is emphasized by the financial
house of Spencer Trask & Co., in re-
viewing the federal trade commission's
report on the wealth of the United
States, following three years study
authorized by the senate.
"The fact that the value of agri-
culture was per cent greater than
that of manufacturing and mining is
rather unexpected, their percentage
being 1S and ID respectively" says
the Spencer Trask review.
"The largest item, and one-quarter
of the total amount, is represented
by houses, dwellings, and personal
property.
at is rather surprising to find that
government property is $42,OOO,OOO
or IL per cent.
Railroads and public utilities are
credited with being only 13 per cent
of the whole, but this figure has
undoubtedly, increased because OF
large expenditures during the past
three years.
"Stocks and bonds were not con-
sidered in compiling the report be-
cause they are merely the credit evi-
dence of wealth."

DICTATOR'S SHADOW GROWS;

lum swinges the other way" the labor
paper says.
"In Italy, Russia, Spain, Portugal

raised for relationships.
