THE LEAGUE AND SMALL
NATIONS
By B. Bradfield, Monnetier- Morne
France

Dy ID. oIduAClut uOAUOLlOl -NIOI lC
France
A letter has arrived in Geneva
from far-away Abyssinia to be dis
tributed by the Secretary-General to
the salution, A" Peace be with you,''
and is signed by Taffari Makonnen,
Heir to the Thorne of Abyssinia
and it asks the question given above.
whether members think it right
that means of pressure should be
exerted on us that they themselves
would doubtless never accept
The pressure is explained by the
correspondence, which is enclosed
between Great Britain and Itlay
The Government is anxious to build
a barage at Lake Tsana in order to
store it's waters for use in the Blue
Nile whence they would be available
for irrigation of Egypt and the
Sudan. A motor road from the
lake to the Sudan frontier. would be
necessary for the passage of sup
plies. Such project might OF
course be very beneficial to Abys
sinia but though the proposal had
been made to it's government some
time ago, no conclusion had beer
reached.
Itlay also wishes to obtain con
cession to construct and run rail
way across the country to the
frontier of Italian Somaliland with
exclusive economic influence in the
West of Abyssinia and in the whole
of the territory to be crossed by the
railway" that is, to control the trade
passing through a large portion o.
country.
Great Britain and Italy, having
agreed to support each other in the
effort to obtain these concessions
presented identical notes at the same
moment to the Abyssinia govern
ment, thus creating the strong i'm
preston that they intended to bring
pressure to bear and it is this which
causes apprehension and protest,
coupled with the realization that
economic and political influence are
very closely bound together" An.
other explanatory statement in the
letter referred to above is that it is
difficult to convince the Abyssinia
people that foreigners who wish tc
establish themselves for economic
reasons in our country or on the
frontiers between it and their pos
sessions, are generally innocent OF
political aims since Throughout
their history they have seldom met
with foreigners who did not desire
to possess themselves of Abyssinian
territory and to destroy their in
But the day has passed when
small nations had perforce to submit
to pressure exerted by greater ones
and they have now platform from
which to speak to the rest of the
world. Abyssinia may be quite
wrong in her protest but the in
teresting fact is that she can state
her case, all the SO odd countries OF
he League are asked to judge Il :,
and journalists are free to acquaint
the world with it. Such search
light cannot fail to have an effect.
How much it's effect will contribute
towards promoting open, just and
honorable dealings depends on us,
on whether fundamentally we care
that right dealings shall prevail.

NAVAL ACADEMY HEROES
 IMMORTALlZED BY PICTURE

To Ramon Novarro fell the lot of bringing to the screen the first U. s. Naval Academy midshipman in pie ture history.
 Though the deeds involved in the story are very modern in their hero ism and perhaps not as glamorous as those of the Navy's Paul Joneses, Novarro makes the entertainment of "The Midshipman" just as enthralling as any fierce battle at sea.
 F. McGrew Willis was the scenarist and Oliver Marsh the photographer.

HOWE AND PARRISH

1t is always advised that when
you've got a good thing, hang onto
it. 1t looks like the members of the
Butler County Automobile Club know
when they've got a good thing and
are following out the precepts of the
old adage above referred to- This
conjecture is brought about by the
results of the election of officers of
the auto club held last week. Seven
times Charley Parrish has been elect
ed to fill the office of president and
seven times "Bill" Howe has been
elected secretary, and most all the
other old officers and representatives
throughout the county This certainly
speaks well for the efficiency and pop
ularity of the clubs officers.

labor seeks to persuade the tradi-
tional two parties to include labor's
measures in their party platforms and
to convince candidates for office of
the validity of labor's proposals
This is the policy labor is pursuing in
the present congressional campaign,
the initial primaries of which are
close at hand.
Labor is not basing its plans upon
prejudice or opinion but will examine
the records and the promises of cam
didates for office, Judging them by
certain definite measuring rods. The
measuring rods are legislative pro-
posals which embody measures neces-
sary to promote the interests of wage
earners or to protect their rights.
Labor has made its customary pre-
paration for the campaign. Local
partisan political committees have
been appointed to plan for active
work in the primaries as well as the
election of senators and representa-

Myers Y Cooper, candidate for the
republican nomination for governor,
will carry every county in Ohio and
one or two in Kentucky.

Cincinnati Enquirer, which has a rep
resentative, V. H. Logan, travelling
over the state writing about the land
slide which will take place in every
county, city and even the school dis
tricts.
The Enquirer is backing Cooper,
which is handicap that may cause
trouble for the candidate. The En-

who pulled the same stunts for Hard

WISDOM OF u. S. LABOR'S
POLICIES

The working people of the United
States. in common with other groups,
are gratified to learn that the gen
eral strike in Great Britain is at an
end, says William Green, president,
American Federation of Labor. The
conclusion of this industrial contest
| will mean that the grievances of the
miners, which were the original cause
of the strike, will not be dealt with,
considered and acted upon.
In the absence of details regarding
the basis of understanding and settle
ment of the general strike it will be
impossible to appraise the results of
the strike and to express an opinion
regarding it's outcome. The officers
and members of the American Fedora
ton of Labor will await more COM
plete and accurate information re-
garding the terms upon which the
strike was settled before passing
judgment upon either the success or
failure of the undertaking
The experiment of the British
trade unionists in engaging in gen.
eral strike has been decidedly inter-
esting and has attracted worldwide
attention. | am confident, however,
that after receiving full information
concerning the basis of settlement and
after reviewing the strike, it's effect
and it's outcome, the officers and
members of the American Federation
of Labor will be fully convinced that
the policy of making wage contracts
and of keeping them inviolate, as
pursued by the American Federation
of Labor, is sound and productive of
greatest good TO the membership of
organized labor in America.

ARTIFICIAL A WINS AGAIN

The court of appeals Monday refus-
ed to grant an injunction to S. M
Goodman, who as taxpayer sought
to prevent fulfillment of contract
between the city and the Hamilton
Furnace Co., to furnish artificial gas.
Mr.. Goodman in his petition claim
ed the contract entered into is illega-,
unconstitutional and void. The court
held otherwise. Judge Walter S.
Harlan held to the same opinion. The
decisions of the two courts was just
as expected they would be, otherwise
the state law of initiative and refer
endum, and which law has been held
by experts to be pretty we'll rock
ribbed and iron bound, this law would
have been completely upset had the
two courts decisions been different.
However, the suit has brought about
its real and apparent sole purpose
delay. Hamilton uses quite a bit of
gas, and as long as the furnishers
of that product can control its sale
to the city it has sweet pickin's. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Good
mans original petition carried the
name of representative of the Union
Gas & Electric Company as surety
for the cost of the suit Enough ex-
planation, ,only-don't be surprised
if the suit is carried to the higher
courts in an attempt to further de-
lay the Hamilton Furnace Company
from furnishing the city's gas supply
In the meantime, don't worry about
the gas supply being shut off. There
will be plenty of gas, of one kind
or the other.

BILE to wage workers must be designed
and effected by the workers them
selves. Wage workers have created
organizations, and through years of
experience have witnessed the advan-
tages of organization. That better life
comes to wage workers through con-
certed efforts as one of the elements
of the social order is the incentive
for organization. That incentive
does exist. Wage workers have DEM
onstrated this through organization,
and as the social order has improved
thereby, organization of wage work
ers stands approved as legitimate and
beneficial. Then arises the query Of
who represents the antagonism of
organized labor? The reply to this
Identifies the principle of selfishness
in an element Of the social and indus

to the teachings Of antagonism of
wage workers organizations? To do
this is to accept the suggestion that
wage workers are unable to care for

SENSE FROM CONGRESS

Farming must, like any other
business, be so conducted as to in
sure a fair profit for both labor and
investment. Otherwise we can not
expect high-class men to invest labor
and money in farms. The present
conditions can only result in driving
from the farm the active, intelligent
young men who are so soon to take
up the burdens when we lay them
down. Representative Wheeler, of
Illinois.
"The congress of the United States
has violated in many instances every
provision of the Indian treaties and
has treated them exactly as the kaiser
treated a treaty when he said it was
mere scrap of paper. Why have
we done that? 1t is because of the
fact that numerically the Indians are
not strong. We have taken their land
we have turned it over to the whites,
we have appropriated their money,
and we have treated them in shame
full manner. Senator Wheeler, of
Montana
every man of vision in industry
and finance sees that he is as vitally
interested in maintaining a high buy
ing power among the masses of the
people as he is in producing a high
dividend. A high buying power de-
pends upon a high wage level."-

LABOR AND POLITICS

Following is an editorial from the
American Federationist:
American labor has not wavered
in it's faith in non-partisan political
action. 1t has never believed that its
interests and welfare are those of a
class in conflict with the interests of
other groups of citizens. The imme-
diate interests of labor may be differ
ent from those of other groups, but
they are not necessarily in conflict
Wise craftsmanship seeks to harmon
ize the interests Of various groups
so that the welfare of the whole ma
ton may be promoted uniformly
without special advantage to any
group.
In accord with this understanding

ALL WAGE LABOR WELCOME

All men and women who toll, re-
gardless of creed, color or national
ity, are eligible to the trade union
movement, says William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor.
Through the influence of organiza-
tion the workers have made great
progress along economic lines. Wages
have been increased manifold. Intol-
cradle employment conditions have
been made humane. The long, ex-
hausting hours of the work day have
been reduced and the worker is per-
mitted to spend more time with his
family. He may enjoy the sunlight
and the fresh air, away from the din
and dusty clatter Of the mill, mine,
workshop and factory. His hours of
recreation enable him to read and
study.
The educational facilities available
make it possible for him to gather
knowledge and learning. In the coun-
ellis of his organization he finds asso-
citation with his fellow men. He be-
comes social factor and his interest
in civic and political affairs is quick
ened and intensified His mind be-
comes alert and his reasoning powers
are awakened. He is force in the
community, better citizen and a
more efficient workman.

THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE

Fortunately, wage workers in or
ganizing are prompted by an honor
able purpose. 1t has long been recog-
nized that wage workers have the
right to organize and enter collective
agreements with employing corpora
tions and companies. And that is the
sole purpose of wage workers organ
izations. When wage workers use
the only instrument available to effect
collective agreement relations with an
employing company the public that
understands anything of the labor
movement recognizes that the en-
deavor of the organized wage workers
stands of an honest purpose, and that
the only weapon available is the sus-
pension Of work. The creditability Of
the purpose makes the strike credit
able. Any other purpose Of strike
than that of establishing or perpet-
uating collective agreement rights can
be looked upon with suspicion and
accords to the employing concern the
material, and the only material to dis
credit wage workers organizations be-
fore the public.
Organization has demonstrated that
wage workers are capable of progress
in the social order. 1t has Demon

POWER OF FEDERAL JUDGES

POWER OF FEDERAL JUDGES
Answering impeachment charges
before the United States senate, Fed
eral Judge English said he used
"forceful" language in addressing GER
tain officials concerning the admins
tration of justice during the shop
mems strike to maintain law and
order"
Wherein does the federal constitu-
tion or any state constitution en-
power a Judge "to maintain law and
order?
Is Judge English aware that our
government rests on three co-ordi-
mated branches; that the duty of the
judiciary is to define and interpret
law; that the enforcement of law is
assigned to another branch?
Logically, if a judge can main
tain law and order" in strike times,
why not at other times? If he can
set aside federal and state consti-
tutions today, why not tomorrow
Why limit his activity to workers ?
Why not extend his usurpation and
apply his powers to every law-enforce-
ment agency.
Expedinecy to break strike is 4
costly price for undermining the con-
stitution.
Those who defend the injunction
judge are blind to the ugly example
they set.
