EmUIOye Ownership

Many great corporations have found that employa
ownership is the solution for much of the industrial
unrest which unsettes economic conditions. The
Standard Oil Company of Indiana has just an
nounced that it will turn over to its employees on
March 81, $25,35O,OO0 worth of stock. The expert
ment of employees purchasing stock out of their
earnings was started five years ago and has proved
great success.
The Standard Oil Company of New Jersey re-
Gently distributed $50 100000 worth Of stock to lG,
35S employees. Nearly 10000 employees of the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation hold stock in that
pany. The international Harvester Company, Ameri-
can Telephone and Telegraph Company and many
others have found that employee ownership is a fine
antdcte for socialism and general economic unrest.
One Of the reasons that Robert NJ. La Follcttes
presidential campa gn failed his advocacy Of
government ownership Of railroads. He did not
secure expected support in the great industrial
centers. Employe ownership is possible without
resorting to government ownership. Employees Of
the national telephone system own approximately
ten per cent of the stock of that concern.
- The plan Of elnpoye ownership is being developed
along liberal lines each year and the result
is quite dsconcertng to those who seek to promote
their political ends by fostering class struggles and
by keeping worker and employer apart.

Relief For Agriculture
Chicago Tribunc)

(CnlcaEO IrlDunc)
Farmers, particularly those Of the middle west
ern producing center, make out very good CASE
in their demand the administration that gov
ernmental help be given them to restore their ad
labor.
Governors and agricultural leaders from The
wheat and belts are meeting in Washington
and asking a showdown Their stand is that
they cndeavored to keep their out of the realm
of politics, with the result that they got no results
They arc frankly threatening political retributior
now, and they look for satisfactory answer.
What tina answer WILL should, be it is hare
to predict. The agricultural demand is for the
Dickinson surplus control bill. President Coolidge
has said he cannot approve such measure.
It is belief that the remedy lies somewhere
in between, just what do not know, nor have
enough facts been brought yet, as We sec it, to
warrant final decision.
What is important just now is that the admins
tration, having recognized the need of farm relief
take active steps to supply it. The farmers dis
satisfaction is not something that time will cure
The United States has alwayss been justly proud
Of its agricultural population Europe has peas
ants; America has farmers. In times of social usl-
rest it has been the countrys greatest comfort t
think Of the solid backbone Of the nation, the
farmer. To have the farmer justly dissatisfied is
not good thing for America. He has done too
much, has meant too much, for the welfare of tn.
country, to be ignored.

Humanizing Ellis Island

A couple Of years ago this country adopted new
immigration law, stricter than any it had ever had
before.
It was law that was forced us, to speak.
New conditions at home and abroad, had made t
imperative that the old policy Of admitting to our
shores anyone who cared to come be modified radi-
cally. So the new law given firm restrictions
This was proper The h0od Of immigrants was
growing too great America was discovering thai
new people, with alien customs and alien ideals,
coming in faster than they could be assnlilated.
Nothing has happened since the new immigration
policy was adopted to call for an opening Of the
gates. The conditions that called for its passage
still exist. America still has the right to pick and
choose from among those who knock at its gates
3 But one thing has become increasingly evident
during the past months; in minor details the pres
ent immigration law is radically in need Of amend
meut.
There is, for example, the provision under which
the Countess Of Cathcart was temporarily excluded.
The commissioner ct New York-Mr. Curran-was
utterly p3weress under the law to decide her case
