THE ABSENT MEMBER

What is more base than one who
violates the sacredness of an oblga-
ton? Yet within the ranks of organ
lied labor we find many who give lit
tie consideration to the solemn decla-
ration to promote the welfare of
their organization.
Whether the transgression be will
full or not, the same conclusion is
reached, namely, the weakening of the
fibers of an institution.
This inertia has various causes,
but chiefly among them IS non-attend-
ance at meetings. BY our presence a
vast amount of spirit is Induced the
activities of our organization are
brought before US, rejecting as a
mirror into our hearts and minds a
greater knowledge of our enterprise,
superinducing a feeling of co-opera-
tion to further the organization
aims. On the other hand, absence
from meetings produces a feeling OF
lethargy which not only weakens the
strength of an organization, but our
spirit of unionism itself.

ONE WHY THE MARINES

If dog days were not upon US and
fly time at it's worst, we might ask
the American people to pause and
ponder:
What are the United States marines
doing in China? Or, still more to the
point: Why are they there?
Fifteen hundred American marines
are stationed at Tienstin. Stationed
is the polite word. They aren't even
quartered there. They are living in
tents in the mud and in conditions
that are highly insanitary and which
renders their stay there dangerous to
their health.
We have this on authority of an
United Press dispatch and it quotes
the American-owned North China
Star as authority for the statments.
That publication quotes marine as
saying: Eve came to China to pro-
tect refugees and missions. SO far
we haven't seen a single refugee or
mission"
The soldier is still further quoted:
"Tienstin doesn't seem to worry
over any invasion or attack. Tienstin
eats, dances, drinks and goes on its
merry way, and we seem to be here
without any definite work to do or any
objective to gain. We are fighters
we marines. We crave action anc
there is no action here and not likely
to be any"
Naturally the marine Graves action
They always rightfully prefer that

boys enlist after studying nicely col

ored pictures showing how they were
to have action? Haven't they had in
mind that one where the sturdy
lads, all belted and bandoliered, are
tumbling out of surf boats and charg-
ing, bayonets fixed, up the beach to-
ward some imaginary foe whom this
great nation has decided has 'bad
government administration" and
stands in need of our particular brand
of civilization?
They want life that will come up
| somewhere near to the pictures and
the promises and the press agenting
that this branch of the service always
enjoyed.
The marines don't know they are
there because financiers and big bust
ness interests and rampant militar-
ism want them there. They don't
know that when they are sent ashore
in foreign land that it is to not only
protect the investments of American
money kings, but to shoot the day
lights out of any natives who pre-
sumo to strike against conditions thai
hold them in slavery or subjection tt

ons or oil emperors or some of tina

UNDERTAKES KICKING

Because people are living longer,
the undertaking industry is on the
decline. This was the report of Sec
retary Guerke at the annual conven-
ton of the Maryland State Funeral
Directors Association in Atlantic
City last week
Improved living conditions among
the masses of the people was given
in explanation of their refusal to die
and make the undertaking business
more prosperous.

us to migrate into other lines of

The members who expect their

The members who expect their
unionism to receive nourishment from
the little crumbs of information
dropped here and there about the
business of their organization must
reckon with intellectual starvation,
for heresay is a poor substitute for
naked truth The garbled explana-
tion for an antagonist to project,
plan or proposition may be as poison
to the mind of the absentee, his de-
termination, faith and hope of union

ready to throw off the sweet traitor.
Shall your unionism be as rose,
blooming today, wilted tomorrow;
shall it be as a flag flown from the
mast, to be torn to shreds by the
gale, or shall it be as great rock,
withstanding the ravaging waves of
the stream? A hawser is composed
of many strands of fax, a single
strand of which would be strong
enough to hold small object, but
enmeshed together they form a rope
which holds ship in port. So, too
the membership in a union is in itself
an insignificant thing, but joined with
others and putting forth their whole
effort, they can overcome the assaults
of organized labor's enemies. Inas-
much that labor unions are passing
through perilous and trying era
it is obvious that we should conse-
crate ourselves to the ideals of union.

TRADE UNION MILLIONS

Organized labor throughout the

Of this number only 100000 are

USUALLY THUS

Mr. Donahey has lost his oil lease
on Elk Hills and has paid lot of
money besides.
But the fact that Uncle Sam gets
these oil lands back doesn't wholly
undo the wrong.
The purpose of holding those lands
as reserve was to RESERVE the oil
therein A lot of that oil has been
taken out since Mr.. Fall committed
his faux pas.
Whether the people now win or
lose, the people have already lost per-
manently and irrevocably. It's some

FASCISTS ARE TRICKY

FASCISTS ARE TRICKY
Fascists in this country are as
tricky as communists.
In a Baltimore naturalization court
a Fascist declared that lone can not
be good Fascist unless he is good
American"
The Fascist philosophy is autocracy
1t scorns popular rule and jeers at the
claim that the people are fit to gov
ern.
Fascimo places the state above the
individual. The latter has no right
that the state is bound to respect.
There can be no compromise be-
tween this philosophy and the Amer
lean ideal that governments are in
stituted to protect the individuals in
herent rights.
The Fascist in this country well
knows that if his philosophy were un-
derstood by the public, it would be
rejected. SO he resorts to trickery,
just as do communists, who likewise
hold that the individual is but pawn
for the state.
The only difference is that the Fas-
cist-in Italy-frankly declares gov
ernment should be controlled by the
few, while the communist talks of ga
dictatorship by the proletariat."

BOOTLEGGERS IN LUCK

Federal Judge James w. Wood
rough, of the Omaha district, has
held unconstitutional that section of
the national prohibition law which
permits court to issue a personal
injunction and to confine a man in
jail without jury trial if that court
order is violated.
The accused has a bad reputation as
a bootlegger, but the court said this
did not justify setting aside the con-
stitution of the United States.
LET the matter be inquired into,
a charge formulated and jury of
his peers called together. But the
bill in equity, though it is based upon
a section of an act of congress, calls
upon the judge to do that thing which

forbids that any judge shall ever do
to try person for crime and de.

If bootleggers are entitled to 8

ARE-why not striking workers, who
