American LabOr's Policies
New York Timnsl

A consistent body Of principles would ap-
pear to underlie the proceedings at the Los
Angeles meeting of the American Federation
Of Labor. Last week it went strongly on rec
ord in favor Of what might be described as in
dustral democracy, if in sense different from
that attached to the phrase a few years ago
when it was synonymous with workers con-
troll. Mr.. William Green and his associates
are not for taking over" industry in the easy
vocabulary of postwar enthusiasm. They are
for labor's participation in the management OF
industry to the extent of being allowed con-
sulting voice. The federation stresses "ac-
countancy" as one of the big new factors in in
dustrial relations. Thereby it means that in
future wage negotiations the workers shall be
given chance to criticize the employers book
keeping in the light of labor's own data. En-
phasis has been laid on labor bureaus of re-
search as a substitute for the strike threat.
In suggesting this approach to democracy
in industry the federation has not turned its
back on the older democracy, the political kind.
Democratic institutions could not ask for a
heartier endorsement than they have received
in the outspoken Los Angeles resolutions di-
rected against dictatorship from the left or
from the right, against communist and fascist
theory and practice. The fight of the New
York needleWorkers' unions against commun-
ist leadership which has wrought havoc in
their organizations and their individual well
fare is to go on. But Mr.. Green puts Musso-
lini in the same class with Lenin Both have
deprived the workers Of their elementary liber-
ties. It is heartening to have this affirma-
ton OF loyalty to democratic ideals. The fed
eration's attitude might serve as an example
to other Americans who have permitted them
selves to fall under the sway Of the alleged or
exaggerated achievements IF communist or
fascist autocracy. Not few American bust
ness men and many American intellectuas
have rallied to the wonderful new dictator pat.
eH medicine, with the red label or the white.
1t is not necessary to ascribe the federation
OF labor's stand for democracy to a pure ideal
ism. AS is stated in the resolutions and
speeches at Los Angeles, it has been found
that the worker fares best under democratic
institutions. It was the old socialist slogan
that the democratic state is only device for
the enslavement Of the workers. But the com
munist and fascist states have come along to
show the real thing in workers servitude
This is the truth which has bitten in on the
British labor movement and won it away from
revolutionary methods to the old democratic
method. Il IS : truth Of which the vast ma
|jority Of American workers never lost sight.

4 Tragedy and Il Warning
minneapolis JournaD

Nearly a score of merrymakcrs, bound for
!: dance were killed in Indiana the other night
when an interurban electric train struck the
automobile trailer in which they were riding
That the driver of the truck drawing the
trailer neither saw nor heard the approaching
train is fair evidence that he made no attempt
to stop, look and listen, though there had been
two fatal accidents at the same spot previous
~, and two white crosses had been erected as
warnings.
In the first place. an automobile trailer Is
no place for passengers. III the second place,
Il driver responsible for such cargo of pre-
cious human freight has no business negotiating
4 grade crossing without first stopping and
carefully scanning the track in each direction.
Dispatches say that the road rises and de-
sends sharply at the crossing in question, the
railway grade being on slightly higher level
than the highway grade. This would account
for the drivers failure to make full stop.
This would account for similar failures by two
earlier drivers Of death cars.
And there is Il lesson in this Indiana accident
for Minnesota and most other states. There
are scores possibly hundreds, of Minnesota
grade crossings where highways rise and de-
scend rather sharply to get across railroad
tracks. Every such hump presents a ternpta-
ton to speed up in advance and make the cross
ing without coming to stop, owing to the Diff
ficulty Of restarting a heavy motor vehicle
that has been stopped while headed up short
grade.
All these danger spots could he eliminated
by building up each highway for sufficient
distance on each side of the track to make the
gradient negligible. Then there would be 10
temptation to omit the cautionary stop.
The work would not cost much. contrasted
with the gain in public safety. These danger
spots, as rule, are thicker on county roads
than on trunk highways. The Indiana tragedy
should serve as warning to county road Off
cials all over the country to survey their own
domains in quest Of similar death traps that
cry for elimination.

to us instead of trying to prove that
diversified farming has been success
full. The reader can decide for him
self whether the plan has worked or
failed
In the year 1900 George O'Kelly
of Winterville, Georgia, bought from
his fathers estate a farm of lis acres
of land, 80 acres of which had been
planted to cotton and corn until it
had become so poor that it would not
produce profitable crops. As a re-
suit the farm was heavily mortgaged.
In addition to assuming the loan on
the farm, Mr.. O'Kelly gave his moth
er his note for $500 as payment for
the 115 acres of land. Without any
money this man started out to pay
for worn out, badly washed, heavily

Waycross VIII Perpetuate Its Fore.
most Highway Booster With
Beautiful Arch

Waycross, April 14.-Plans have
been drawn for the proposed Stan.
ton Memorial, a beautiful highway
arch to be placed on Albany avenue
at the intersection of"Stanton avenue,
it was announced today.
The plans were drawn by J. II.
Chain, Waycross engineer of Wallin
and Conner.
The arch will have four columns
the taller two of which will be about
nineteen feet high. A whiteway light
will be placed at the top of each col
umn, and between the two columns,
on each side of the street, will be a
sidewalk
V. l.. Stanton, to whose memory
the arch will be erected, was one of
the pioneer good roads boosters of
South Georgia, his outstanding ac-
tivity having been directed toward
the designation and improving of the
Central Dixie Highway from Atlanta
to Jacksonville. Mr.. Stanton worked
untiringly for the building of per-
manent highway from Waycross to
Jacksonville, and the present hard
surfaced trail between these points,
built since his death, is memorial to
his faithful efforts.

was to be his main cash crop, selling
at from three to seven cents per
pound.
Seeing that he could not pay for
the farm and at the same time do
such improvement as he wanted done,
Mr.. O'Kelly decided to pay the inter-
est on the loan and to use such addi-
tional money as he might have, in
buying better work stock, better farm
implements and in improving the soil.
He at once adopted the plan of
making the farm self-sustaining, of
growing sufficient amount of cash
crops in addition to cotton to pay
the running expenses of the farm
leaving the cotton as a surplus cash
crop except for the payment of the
fertilizer bill.
