THE labor movement has produced many queer freaks
but surely none more so than the Richmond, Var
Brotherhood of Automobile Mechanics. This body was
definitely formed about two or three weeks ago. Ac-
cordng to a written statement of member of the
Brotherhood the following is the nature of the thing:
sThe Brotherhood is organizing and classifying all
those who so-caled automobile mechanics person.
in order to be classified mechanic in the brother
hood, must have had prerequisite three years ex-
perience in automobile repairing" Now listen to this
gem The applicant must be recommended by two men,
bers by dealers for whom he has worked" "This
application is then submitted to committee of five,
three of whom must be foremen in reputable garages,
the other two may be either mechanics representa-
tives of the dealers"
Following this beautiful lne the article proceeds:
Frequently the small shopowner formerly skilled
mechanic and would easily qualify for membership in
the brotherhood and, if could make this good ad
vertisement for drawing business"
is it necessary to go further with this nauseatng mix
4 ture - stupidity and scab unionism?
What IS the explanation of the formation of such
union? No doubt, either the bosses self
seeking takers playing part in this game. But,
this is not full explanation Up to the present this
important work of organizing the workers has been
neglected by the old line unions and such farce
this Brotherhood" is the result
TO remedy this condition two steps must be taken:
l. The A. F. of L. unions, and especially the
chinsts in this town must start real organization
drive in the industry linking it up with national
drive and eliminating the petty jurisdctional fights
that have been the death OF other drVeS IN the past
g. The honest members of the brotherhood of Auto
mobile Mechanics" must realize the danger of their
present course, leave this scab unon which only
function in the interests of their employers and join the
local lodge of the International Assn. Of Machinists
forming therein a solid block for the prosecution of
real organizing campaign. They should also try to
eliminate from their midst insidious spirit of
prejudice which expressed itself in restricting their
membership to "Caucasians" Such suicidal stupidity
should also be combatted in the /. A. of NJ.
Since this article was started, have received nfor
nation that the l. A. of M. is sending organizer
to line up the auto workers here. This is good, but
the maximum results cannot be achieved unless rank
and file organizing committees formed by the active
union members to assist him.

On the steps, gaunt silent female is sitting clasp

DAVID, warrior and man of
many faults. was still a man
of keen practically and percep-
ton. Impulse often swept him
away from his better instincts and
purposes, but unlike many in our
modern world. he did not keep
religion and life in separate COM
partments.
David was troubled that he
iived in a house of cedar while the
Ark of the Covenant still was
kept in a tent. This realization is
missed, apparently by many today,
who do not seem to notice that
they live in beautiful houses
while the church they attend is
disreputable.
Nathan Interprcts Word
1t did not seem to David fitting
nat that which symbolizes the
of God should be less
worthily housed than himself. So
there came to him the idea OF
building a temple. 1t seemed a
worthy plan, and it was his desire
that he should carry it out.
At first, Nathan. the prophet,
agreed with David's plans, and
then we are told that the same
night the word of God came to
Nathan opposing the fulfillment
of David's building enterprise.
We must remember in reading
the Bible that we constantly deal
with eastern imagery of express
sion. How the word of God came
TO David-in a dream or by re-
hection-is secondary to the con-
sideration of the significance n
background of the incident.
In Modern Life
1t became clear to Nathan that
David should not build the
temple. The reason for delaying
his plans is interesting. David
was a man of war and 1t is help
full to note that though these wars
were fought for the safeguarding

itself is represented as a wrong
and d~eplorable thing.
1t is worth while TO mediate
upon this distinction as it was ex-
pressed so long ago. In our mod
ern life it is not always so clearly
marked. 1t must not be for
gotten that war is bloodshed
and the fact that it is necessary
sometimes to prevent some
greater evil does not alter the
truth and value of these consider
atoms.
Only when all resorts have
peen used to prevent war is it in
any sense justiiable. 1t should be
remembered, even then, that the
whole plans and purposes of God
are toward the establishment of
a warless world. The keen ele-
ment of discrimination expressed
in this lesson is of very little USE
unless 1t is applied to the prob
lens Of our own time.
