SAYS CHINA MUST
WIN JUSTICE
BY THE SWORD

East Mortified, Mass. - China
must depend upon the sword to Sc
cure justice from Western nations,
Rev. DR.. Charles E. Jefferson, of New
York, told delegates to the Mortified
Foreign Missionary Conference here.
DR.. Jefferson has returned from a
13-months' visit to China. He said
that the Great Powers, and not Rus
sia, are responsible for the Chinese
revolution. Expressing abhorrence
for war and the arming of nations, the
speaker said that, judging from the
past history of Oriental and Western
nations, ''I'm afraid that to get jus
tlce China must arm. You know that
Japan, when she was unarmed, was
treated far differently than now"

A FACTOR IN SOCIETY

In the affairs of this country there
stands out one dominating fact-the
existence and the power of organiza-
tion of wage earners. They have
proved themselves as essential CON
structive factor in human affairs.
They constitute the domain of volun-
tary service, voluntary activity and
voluntary institutions for the protec-
tion and the betterment of human be-
lngs engaged in industry or com
merce. The workers have made la
Dor organizations constituent ele-
ment in the organization of produc-
tion and therefore part of organ
lied society.
Labor organizations are the chan
nels for the expression of the desires
and purposes of the wage-earners.
They are the instrumentalities for
making effective their demands for
justice and for better life in all its
relations. That labor organizations
are SO vitally associated with the lives
Of the workers increases their power
and Importance.
The wage earners are a constituent

strong and creatively essential.

By international Labor News Service.
Chicago Western headquarters of
the Union Labor Life Insurance Com
pany have been opened at 623 South
Wabash Avenue, Chicago, with George
w. Perkins, vice-president, Western
representative, in charge. Mr.. Per-
kins was for 35 years president of the
Cigar Makers International Union,
from which office he voluntarily retired
last January
Mr.. Perkins principal duty at first
will be to consult and advise agents
selected by the various local unions.
Later representative from the home
office at Washington will visit the
territory for the purpose of giving
expert instruction in the writing of
group and individual insurance and
| other details pertaining to the busi-
ness.
Mr.. Perkins directs attention to
the fact that all of the stock sold is
owned by labor unions or members
thereof and that the control of the
Union Labor Life Insurance Company
always will remain with organized
labor.
There is a stipulation in every con
tract with a shareholder that the com
pany must be given 30-day option
.Sor the purchase of any stock that
any stockholder may wish to sell. A
reserve fund already has been started
for the purchase of stock thus offered

take into account the welfare of the
wage-earners will fall short of con-
cepts of broadest craftsmanship. Not
only must the wage-earners be con-
sidered in determining policies, but
in the council that determines policies
they must be given representation and
voice equal to their Importance in ma

The wage-earners are no longer de-

the principles upon which our Repub-

PAN-AMERICAN PROTESTS

Many protests against American
imperialism" were made in the re-
cent Pan-American Federation of La
Dor convention. They revealed how
many Latin Americans feel toward
this country.
But some things remain unsaid
Most of the delegates who scolded
the United States could not have
stood up in public in their own coun-
tries and said what they said in Wash
ington. This means that Americans
have wrung important liberties from
ancient oppressors-and have kept
them.
Latin Americans often forget one
thing: 1t is not American imperial
ism from which they suffer; it is
American FINANCIAL imperialism,
and it is American only by the acci-
dent of circumstance, geography and
economic development.
The sheer weight of American
finance is going to force it into the
far corners of the world "a fact
whatever may be thought of it.
Meanwhile relationships persist in
many Latin American nations, as in
Cuba, Venezuela and Chile. Ameri-
can finance likes to deal with dictators
in Latin America and Latin Ameri-
cans who are awake to the full truth
know that when American finance
makes dirty bargain in Latin Amer
lea there is either a simple or crook
ed home politician on one end of the
bargain.
Most Americans want to be friends
with all Latin America and hate a
certain brand of American govern
ment diplomacy, exploitation and
"armed intervention" as bitterly as
possible. They recognize, also, that
in the main the forces that exploit
Latin America also seek to exploit
Americans, a fact which most Latin
Americans have not discovered be-
cause their own misfortunes over
shadow other things
Not for long time will injustices
in and toward Latin America be
eliminated The Pan-American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor rates as the strong
est and most constructive force to-
ward that desirable end 1t has de-
monstrated its usefulness and it de-
serves the thanks and the good will
of every decent American. 1t is the
one great organized force that goes
among Latin Americans asking only
the chance to help them, coveting
nothing that they have, taking nc
toll of their wealth and adding moth
ing to the burden of their misery.

THE GOOD OF ADVERTIsING

There are yet some persons who
feel that newspaper and magazine ad-
vertising is something of nuisance.
They are inclined to the view that
advertising burdens papers col
umns and that a great deal of space
is taken up by ads which should be
devoted to reading matter.
Conversely, the space occupied by
reading matter satisfies the individ-
ual reader. Tastes vary and there is
such wide range in interest that
many loyal readers protest against
space given to articles and features
in which they personally have no in
terest. The newspaper, therefore, un-
less it is trade or technical publi-
cation, must cater to all tastes. pre-
dictions and interests.
Advertising carries as much value
to the reader as the strictly reading
matter. Good advertising is informa-
tive, and as W. K. Woodbridge, presi-
dent of the International Advertising
Association, SO well says: "Adver-
tising has taught thrift, educated the
public in the value of literature and
art, and has removed drudgery from
housework."

THEY LEARN SLOWLY

New York's threatened traction
strike has been averted-for the time
being. The traction interests have
drawn in their horns somewhat but
have not yet openly and unqualifiedly
agreed to permit the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Employees to organize their workers
They still are laboring under the de-
lusion that the progress of unionism
can be stayed by policy Of hypoc-
risy, dishonesy and coercion, in
which their so-called company union
plays big part.
Unionization is still the burning
question at issue and until the mer
are permitted to organize without
hindrance in bona fide trade union
the threat of a transportation tie-ur
will hang over New York.
1t is strange that in a city that
loves to believe it is the leader il
everything there should be minds SC
backward, unprogressive and out OF
tune with modern times as to think
that the growth of trade unionism
can be stopped. The New York trac-
tion interests have apparently not
learned what most of the rest of the
country learned long ago-that union
ism is here to stay and that nothing
can bar its onward march.

SELF SERVICE

Many good folks are lamenting the
passing of the era when men and
women consecrated their lives to un-
selfish service and prepared them
selves to become ministers, mission
aries, teachers or doctors that they
might administer to spiritual, the
mental and physical needs of human
ity without thought of large worldly
gain. They are not in error when
they charge that modern men and
women are choosing vocations today
in which they can do the greatest
service to themselves.
People today are coming to the be-
lief that the best way they can help
others is to produce much that THEN
profit shall be large and that they
shall never become dependent upor
society. The old idea of service was
direct. The new service is indirect
Twenty years ago it was still thought
that only ministers, doctors and teach
ers served humanity. Today every
workman who carries his whole days
wage home is known to have earned
that wage in service to society.
Ebert Hubbard's version of the
Golden Rule was, "Do unto others
as though you were the Others" but
an even more up-to-date version is
do yourself much good and no bad
to Others" Getting something fo1
yourself is reprehensible only when
it is gotten at the expense of others,

PLEADS FOR AUTOCRACY

Mr.. Ivy Lee has asked the United
States Chamber of Commerce to be-

in Moscow The chamber has refused.
Mr.. Lee is the highest priced pub
licity man in the country. He num-
bers Rockefeller, some of the Stand
ard oil companies and some railroad
and mine owners among his clients
If Mr. Lee numbers the soviets
among his clients it will not be sur
prising, and if the soviets are not
his clients they are at least getting
the benefit of his services.
However that may be, the general
run of liberty loving Americans will
not be greatly moved by Mr.. Ivy
Lees plea in behalf of the worlds
most hard-boiled autocracy. They will
remember that he has long been pub
licity man for "open shoppers" and

WHY LABOR OPPOSES
INJUNCTION

Striking laundry girls in Tacoma
are enjoined against trespassing on
the company's property, from inter-
fering with ingress or egress from
til. laundries, and from abusing Off
GERS, employees or patrons.
There is a state law in Washington
against each of these acts. Under
these statutes, the accused is assumed
to be innocent and is guaranteed a
trial by jury.
With strikers, however, this pro-
cedure is set aside
When a labor injunction is issued,
the employer can claim violation and
the accused is cited to appear before
the court. She is not assumed to be
innocent, as when no strike exists.
She is not accorded trial by jury
She is called upon to show why
she should not be punished.
In other words, she is assumed to
be guilty. The Judge who issued the
injunction is sole arbiter. He is not
guided by trial procedure. His preju-
dices and moods have full sway in this
substitution of government by law for
government by injunction.
Labor insists that where strikers
are charged with violation of law
they be accorded guarantees that are
never denied the meanest criminal.
1t is small satisfaction for them
to be told they are jailed under
equity" proceedings.
