Labor Must be Free
Best to Serve Interests
of Workers and Society
by WILLIAM GREEN
President, A +. of l..

The position of the American Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor upon social and IN
dustrial problems Is well known ana
thoroughly understood. 1t predieate>
its hope of success upon the develop
ment and coordination of the economic
strength and power of working men
and women.
In fact, it firmly believes that the
salvation of the toiling masses can
only be found in the mobilization ana
use of their economic strength. Ii
favors the use of its political power
in dealing with those problems which
may be regarded as purely political
and it advocates the use OF the econo-
mic strength of the workers in deal
ing with problems which are clearly
economic and industrial.
If organized labor is to function IN
such a way as to serve the workers
and society to the fullest extent of
its ability to serve it must be free
1t can not succeed in full measure II
it is merely accorded the right 10
exist and is restricted in the exercise
of that right or is. denied the exercise
of that right by judicial decree OF
legal inhibitions. What could be more
meaningless than to accord it the right
TO exist and then prevent II from
functioning through the imposition OF
legal restraint and the erection OF
legal barriers? There Is no force
within our industrial, economic and
social life which exercises more
beneficient and stabilizing influence
than the organized labor movement
1t has always led in the advocacy OF
high and humane living standards. Ii
has constantly emphasized the value
of the human factor in industry.
1t has endeavored to create oppor-
tunities for self-development, for cul-
tural and spiritual advancement and
for educational advantages for the
great masses Of the people. What
policy or purpose could be more
praiseworthy or commendable! I6
what other force or power could the
workers turn for protection and hell
if the organized labor movement were
destroyed?
In the interests of the working peo'
pie of our country, in the furtherance
of the cause of humanity and in be
half of good government and hlgf
social order the American Federation
of Labor solicits the sympathetic sup.
port of the legal profession and al
groups of people believing in the
principles of justice, fairness ane
equality.

Q.--Who is at the head Of the
Canadian National Railway, probably
the greatest experiment in public own

A.-(Sir) Henry Thornton, born an
American, and still an American citi-
zen. After a distinguished railway
career in the United States, he went

the Great Eastern Railway. During
the Great War he was appointed chief
Of British railway transport in France
with rank of major-general. For war
service he was knighted by the King
of England. Whehn the Prime Min
lister of Canada was looking for an
executive to manage the Canadian
National Railway, Larkin, Canadian
high commissioner in London, in
formed him that, in the opinion of j.
H. Thomas, head of the railway union

Illinois Factories Have
Busy Month AS Employ
ment Shows Good Gain

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago, March 24.-The factories
Of Illinois were the busiest during
February of any time in nearly two
years. Not since May, 1924, were as
many persons at work in the manufac-
turing plants of the State as were
found employed by the survey of the
Illinois Department of Labor during
February. In 80 days the names OF
l.6 per cent more persons were added
to the payrolls of the factories, and
if the operations of approximately
200 employers reporting information
may be taken as representative of the
whole realm of factory employment,
fully 1000 persons have been put to
work since January.
The fact that there was an upward
trend in employment quite generally
prevalent during February is not SO
important, since there is always a
pickup following inventory taking in
January. But it is of Importance that
the newest gain was substantial, ano
that it follows the steady expansion
of preceding months. The increase
has been constant since July, and IN
the seven months interval nearly
$4,000 persons have been added t.
the pay roll of the manufacturing
establishments of the State.
That there was a pronounced up
ward trend in industry during Febru'
AIRY is indicated by a comparison Of
the number of industries expanding II
February with those reducing the
number Of their workers. OF the 81
principal industries represented in The
tabulations, 30 increased the number
of their workers.

Miners Jury Split.

Fort Smith, Ark, March PA fed
eral district jury has failed to agree
in the Pennsylvania Coal company S
suit for damages against individual
miners and their district organization.
At the first trial the company was
awarded a judgment of 100000, but
the court of appeals set the decision
aside and ordered new trial on the
ground that a conspiracy against IN
terstate commerce was not proven.
The case has been lin the courts for
several years. 1t differs from the
Coronado case in that the PennsyI-
vania company does not claim that
there was physical interference with
the operation of their plants.

Drastic New Guate-
mala Law Makes Ii
Crime TO Strike

Washington, d. C., March 24.--Re-
ports Just received by the Pan-Ameri-
can Federation OF Labor indicate that
Guatemala has just adopted, by pro-
mitigation Of the president, one of the
most drastic anti-strike laws on the
continent.
Under Article of this decree, it is
made a crime 10 suspend work in the
so-called public services, such as rail
roads, post offices, telegraphs, tele-
phones and private services of quasi
public character, and also where de-
terioration or destruction of property
may occur
Severe Penalties Provided.
Under Article 2 violations of Article
ale made punishable by eight years
in prison. If conduct Of strikers re-
suits in a death, then the acts of the
strikers are classified as murder.
Under Article 3, those who by "vio-
lence, threats OF intimidation" pre-
vent others from working are subject
to Imprisonment for three years.
Article 1 opens the way for whole
sale Imprisonment by providing that
where there are violations of Article
3 without misdemeanor, which means
that where workers are induced by
argument to cease work, two years
Imprisonment may be imposed upon
the strikers.
And Article 4 places trial of strlk-
ers under the jurisdiction of the mill
tary power, thus removing strikes
and the conduct of strikers from civil
jurisdiction and making their punish
ment a matter of court-martlal pro-
ceedings. The law took effect Febru-
AIRY l6, 1926.
Green Denounces Law.
Commenting upon the Guatemala
law, President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor, said:
IF il is true that such a drastic
law against strikes has been promui-
gated in the Republic of Guatemala
then it may happen that even the
right of peaceful strike can be sup
pressed. Democratic institutions Of
freedom of any country will never
permit that such piece OF legisla-
tion could be enacted. | understand
an agreement was reached by the gov
einments of Central America which
was signed with the Government OF
the United States in Washington in
1923. Such agreement, | have been
informed, contains a declaration in
tended to safeguard the inherent
rights Of citizenship to the workmen
and the right of peaceful strike is one
inherent TO the labor organizations Of
Guatemala that no law should forbid"

ducers association.
The pictures of the creamery asso-
citation started at Monticello, where

PIONEER WOMAN PASSES

Mrs. Jens Gregersen, living with
her family a mile west of Askov, who
had been suffering from cancer of
the stomach for six months, the past
four or five weeks in bed constantly
with severe pains, passed quietly to
the Great Beyond Monday evening
at o'clock.
Anna Moller Kristensen Gregersen
was born at Humlum, Upland, Den
mark, on April IS, 1877, being past
40 at the time of death. She was
married to Jens Gregersen on March
16, 1899 in Denmark, and the family
remained in their native country till
1901, their first child being born
there. 1mmigrating to America they
settled. at Kimballton, Iowa, where
they took up farming and remained
until 1908, when they came to Askov,
being among the pioneers in this
colony. Seven children were born to
this union, six of whom are living.
The fourth child died in infancy.
Surviving are the husband and the
following children: Ingstrup, Engelke,
Christense, Asgar, Lucie, and Halvor.
The latter was born at Askov.
There are also two brothers of de-
ceased living in America, Christian
and Marius Christensen of st. Paul,
presently employed at Mankato, who
will be here for the funeral. Mrs.
Holger =. Petersen, Askov, and the
Misses Agneta and Margaret Schroe-
der, employed in the Twin Cities, are
nieces of Mrs. Gregersen. Miss Ag-
meta will also be here for the funeral
today.
Mrs. Gregersen was quiet and
unassuming woman, a good wife and
mother who cared well for those near
and dear to her. This leaves a
breach in the good family circle
which has lasted so many years
through trying as well as happy and
eventful years. She bore her bur-
dens with smile and did not MUIR
muir during the weeks of intense suf-
fering, but carried on with a smile,
and kind words to her lifemate and
children. She remained conscious un-
til the last day and when the final
summons came the entire family was
at the bedside with the exception
of the Oldest daughter, Engelke, who
is i'll in Twin City hospital, having
recently been operated for goiter
Mrs. Gregersen was greatly con-
cerned about her daughters health
and spoke frequently of Engelke dur
ing the last days-hoping to see her
again.

eran church of which deceased was

IN NEW QUARTERS

The Petersen & Andersen shoe
store was moved into their new
building last week, as was also the
Askov Variety store. Both present
very good appearance in their new.
modern, and well lighted buildings.
They are a credit to the town and it
goes to show that both of these bust
ness firms have confidence in the flu
ture of Askov and community. They
have built for the future so that
their business may expand, and they
are in much better position to take
care of their growing trade than was
possible in their former and smaller
quarters. Petersen & Andersen had
an opening sale Friday, Saturday, and
Monday and enjoyed a rushing bust
ness throughout those days. The
Askov Variety store has announced
their formal opening for tomorrow,
(Friday).
