Beware Of Unknown
Labor Publications

We are informed that the Pacific Coast Press" has
not the endorsement of the Washington State Federation
Of Labor of any central body 1t is publication that
sent various labor unions in the city of Auburn, Wash
ington.
Many instances of doubtful practices the part of
it's statesmen have been called to the attention of the Labor
Press and to local labor unions They are alleged have
threatened business men with boycott if they fail
refuse to subscribe for the paper place advertising in
its columns In fact this has been called directly to the
attention of the Washington Safe Federation of Labor.
It probably cannot be proven that the card which
they have induced numbers of people to pay various sums
for is an infringement of any of our Trade Union copy
rights but nevertheless it is misleading and merely pro-
vides source of revenue for group Of sehappointed
spokesmen for labor
Those gentlemen who have been bking local citizens
and business men Of Southwest Washington through the
sale Of fake labor paper should be cut short Members
of the labor movement should advise business and
others to investigate before investing in unknown pub
Iications purporting to speak for labor.

CHICAGO. Dee. 16.--It Is true that
labor disputes are eliminated In the

Officials Of this corporation assured
the British Industrial Commission that

"The harmony of which the Swift
officials speak Is q lull on the sur

PEACE IN INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS

lationship where one industrial group
attempts to deny to another group
the exercise Of q legal OF moral right.
Such an attempt fosters Of ill-will, re-
sentiment and antaeonism.
Men feel very strongly toward
thosa uho seek 70 abridge their ac-
tIsitlea Of infringe upon their rights.
They cannot entertain kind feelings
for those who prevent them from
doing the thing they have right to
do. If. peace is desirable o. neees-
sary in human relations Of any kind
or character It would seem to be In
creasineiv necessary wiihin the
bounds Of industrial life.
Collective bargaining is method
advocated by working people rs a
means through which Industrial peace
can be promoted bu the success OF
collective bargaining Is predicated
upon the exercise OF collective ae-
tion. There can be no genuine coll
lectiye bargaining where employers
deny working people the exercise Of
the right Of collective expression or
where, By subterfuge or force, work
ers are denied the exercise Of the
right Of voluntary association or
freedom Of choice. Experience has
shown that the cause Of industrial
peace has been greatly advanced
where the principle and policy OF
collective bargaining has been rec
Ognized and followed.
In considering the policies which
tend to promote industrial peace let
us review briefly the principal causes
Of industrial strife and industrial
war. At the inception Of modern
industrial development a general inn
preston prevailed that the ownership
Of industry carried with il the right
to control and dominate all the
forces Of industry. This point Of
view was widely accepted during the
period when the relationship between
employee and employe was that Of
master and servant The drafting Of
wage schedules. the hours Of labor
which men were required to work and
the wage rates which were paid were
prescribed by those who owned and
operated industry. Il has been quite
difficult to change this point Of view.
Notwithstanding the fact that many
employers Of labor and many owners
Of industry have recognized the prin-
cipIe Of collective bargaining there
are. employers, owners and managers
Of industry who have failed to accept
the new conception Of human rela-
tions in industry and who exercise
the power Of arbitrarily fixing the
wage rates and prescribing the con-
ditions Of employment under which
men and women must work. This
policy and this attitude followed by
some employers Of labor constitute
a prolific source Of industrial strife,
dissatisfaction and unrest,
Industrial corporations and trade
unions represent q developed phase
Of industry. As corporations became
necessary ia the fnrtherance Of indus
trial enterprises 90 trade unions be-
came necessary IN order to satisfy
the desire Of working men and Wonn-
en- to organize for mutual advance
ment and protection. AZ the owners
Of industry exercised the right 60

The trend Of human thought and
human endeavor is toward the promo
ton and establishment Of harmoniclls
relations hstween nations. This lire
OF thinking was aepe elefated ~ The
World War. Il remais to Be seen
whether this psychological condition
viii gain further momentum or will
definitely Be halted before the
thoughts Of mankind are crystalized in
favor Of world peace. Even the most
ardent advocate Of peace must be
conscious Of the difficulties which
must be overcome before the prin-
ciple OF peace Is universally accept
ed. The smental attitude to man
kind must undergo most decided
change and the purposes and deter
mutations Of individuals must be
transmitted from the base metal Of
individualism into the gold Of collec-
tive advancement. Mans baser pas
sions. classified as selfishness, greed,
jealousy and racial hatred. must be
ubdued and controlled. The win for
peace NUT dominate the individual
and the nation.
A passion FOR peace must over
shadow and eclipse the state Of mind
which causes war. Permanent peace
between nations or individuals must
find It's origin IN the minds Of men.
It can only be firmly established
when people think in terms o. peace.
The industrial life Of q ndtion,
and Of the world, Is 80 merged with
It's political and social life that strife
IN industry materially affects the
peace and happiness Of national and
international life. Domestic tram

tory as to inspire tre inquiry, Can q

SENTENCE is DELAYED

Baltimore. May 26--LF) man
aging editors Of two Baltimore news
papers. along with three members Of
their staffs, are facing Substantial
Jail sentences" because they place
their duty TO readers and employers"
ahead of u court order.
The promise of such action was
given Harold f. Elliston and Earl s.
DclAnd. managing editors respective
IN Of the News and American, Harry
Clark. city editor of the News and two
camera men. Willie Sturm and Will
liam K. Lemm. by Judge Eugene
O'Dunnc in criminal court yesterday.
The newspaper men were cited for
contempt Of court when both ma ners
published pictures of the Richard
Reese Whittempre murder trial last
week after Judge O'Dunne had for
hidden the taking of such photo
graphs in the court room.
Public interest in the case and it's
inlpO rtance demands that each of the
defendants be sent to Jail for Sub
Stantial sentences" the judge told
the newspapermen after Mr.. Elliston
had admitted to the court that he or
dered the pictures taken "as matter
of duty to readers and to my em-
ployers."
Courts Authority Challenged
"The authority Of the court was
flatly and flagrantly challenged
Judge O'Dunne stated. ut is my duty
to determine whether the newspapers
may run the courts or whether the
court may make it's own rules and ad
ministr them"
Delay in pronouncing sentence was
caused, he said, only because he wish
ed, TO determine whether the defend
ants could appeal his decision. If he
found that he was sitting as sole ar
bitter in the case. the sentences would
be more lenient, he said. In the
meantime, he offered the defendants
this delay to "arrange their affairs
to secure new evidence, or to cite ad-
ditional law that might change his
