UNION SHOP FAIR
TO ALL

Those who argue that there is some
thing unreasonable about requiring
men who work in union shop either
to join the union or get off the job
are resorting to mighty poor logic
when they profess to believe that
every man should be left free either
to join the union or not, and that the
man who refuses to join the union
should not only be protected in such
refusal but complimented for his in
dependence in refusing to submit to
union regulations.
There would be just about as much
sense and logic in arguing that every
man should be left free either to pay
his taxes or not as might suit his
own individual whims or fancies. All
people who own property and are get
ting the protection of the government
to enjoy such property are expected
to contribute their share of the taxes
regardless of whether they like it or
not. Anyone failing to pay his taxes
has his property taken from him and
it is sold to raise the money with
which to pay his taxes, and the only
way any such person can redeem his
property is to pay up his back taxes
and such additional penalties as the
various states may see fit to impose
on him for his failure to pay his
taxes.
The right to work in a union shop
is much like the right to own prop
erty. The man who goes to work in
such shop gets the benefit of the
union conditions that prevail there
and it is nothing more than right and
just that he should contribute his
share to the union that is thus bene-
fitting him. When he is expected to
pay his union dues or assessments he
is simply being asked to fulfill
moral obligation he owes to an organ
ization that is benefting him.
The workingman who does not want
to pay union dues nor belong to a
union which has bettered working con-
ditions for him in the shop where he
is earning his livelihood is as unjust
to his fellow workers as the property
owner is to society when he refuses
to pay his taxes but still expects to
be permitted to continue the enjoy
ment of his property.
Everybody recognizes that taxes
would become a standing joke unless
they were applied to all with just
such a remedy as taking their prop
erty away from them unless they paid
them. In much the same way and
with very similar good reason the man
who wants to enjoy the benefits that
flow from working in shop where
union conditions have been established
should either join the union that is
thus benefting him or get off the job.
If he does not see it this way and
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-03

if his employer insists that such an
individual should be kept on the job,
then neither of them should find fault
with union men for refusing longer
to work on such job.
The union shop principle is fair to
all, while the open shop idea is not
fair to anybody, not even to the en-
ployer who uses it as a weapon with
which to undermine the union. The
logical and right thing for union men
to do just as soon as they have
enough union strength to enforce the
union shop is to refuse to work in any
shop where anything else than union
men are employed. This is just
what happens everywhere, sooner or
later, and the sooner it comes to a
head and got over with the better
it is for everybody concerned.

THINK 1T OVER

Out of every mass of beings, some,
through perseverance, study, and,
many times, good fortune, are able
to progress along the pathway of life
to higher plane than their fellow
men. These people are among the
minority and are apt to regard them
selves as the chosen few. This atti-
tude will eventually bring on a we'll

Candidate Mclean
And Party in Tour
OF Franklin County

Phillips, August 20-Mayor Ernest
L. Mclean, Democratic candidate for
governor. invaded Franklin county
on his whirlwind tour today. The
mayor motored from Dover-Foxcroft
this morning to Pennington, where
he met Fred Young, Democratic state
committeeman from Franklin county,
Bertrand G. Mcintyre of Norway, for
mer candidate for governor and Mr..
and Mrs. Oren B. Frost of Augusta.
The party went in the Frost car to
Rangeley, arriving there about noon.
The route taken by the mayor was
practically the same as was made by
Governor Ralph o. Brewster and his
party a few days ago. The meetings
in this section were enthusiastic and
the Mclean party was well received.
The party went to Dallas, Range
ley, where Mclean talked to about SO
men, about the same number was
present at Stratton, and over 20 were
present at Kingsfield. The Augusta
mayor told the people at Kingfield
that Governor Brewsters promise to
cut the tax rates was impossible;
that to do so would cripple the hos
pitfalls and bankrupt the state treas
ury. At Salem about 20 people heard
Mclean talk
The final speech of the day was
held at Phillips. There were about 20
people present at the meeting in the
town hall here and much enthusiasm
was shown. A general explanation OF
campaign issues formed the basis of
his talk in this town.

changed.
He points out that while the epis-

Eyewitness Tells
OF Plunge Airplane
At FOlkestOne, Eng.

Folkstone, England, Aug. 20.-(P)-
Graphic descriptions of the plunge of
the cross-channel plane which was
wrecked near here Wednesday were
given at the inquest today over the
bodies of Robert Blaney of Boston and
Vigo Rizzi of London, who were killed
instantly. and of Pilot De Lisle, who
died in a hospital from injuries yes
terday afternoon.
A farm hand. William Perry. and
others who saw the plane drop, told
how it hit a barn. then a haystack
and then twisted to earth in a great
crash. Perry said he rushed to the
scene to find Is passengers damned in
screaming mass in front of the
cabin.
"Blaney was dead" he added. His
head was damned under the seat and
we removed his body in order to extri-
cate those who We're injured"
DR.. Arthur McVittie testified that
none of Blaney's bones were broken
and he believed death was due to the
bursting of the right lung.
Giving the verdict of accidental
death, the coroner said it appeared the
pilot did not like the fog which had
developed and decided to land. SO
far as the plane was concerned, there
seemed to be no cause for trouble.
Presumably the pilot misjudged the
distance and hit the barn and so
crashed The coroner emphasized that
the government proposed to carry out
an extensive inquiry into the disaster.
1t was brought out that Pilot De
Lisle had flown across the English
Channel 900 times and that he had
served as an aviator in the World War.
OF the seven Americans who were
injured, only one was reported today
to be still in serious condition. He is

those injured.

War of Future Is
Necessarily One of
Poison Bombs from Air

Williamstown, Mass, Aug. 20.-(P)
There Is no longer a choice in re-
gard to the adoption of chemical war
fare, Sir James Irvine, noted British
scientist, told the Institute of Poll
tics tonight. At present the nation
which possesses the most efficient
chemical industry possesses also the
most efficient instruments of war, for
as long as the chemical factory re-
mains it is a potential war factory, he
said.
quite possibly the war of the fu-
ture may be declared, waged and won
in a few days" he said. The alteration
necessary for the conversion OF pas
senger aeroplanes into bombing ma
chimes is not serious and the chemical
factories can provide the poison shell
filling which the airplanes will dis
tribute on their objective. There IS
no longer need for heavy guns or the
customary materials of war.
Universally the chemist loathes the
idea that his science should be USED
in this way, Sir James said, but 1t Is
the general opinion that under pres
emit conditions he cannot stop 1t.
