TRUE DEMOCRACY
DEFINED

New York-In the seasons greet
ing to friends, DR.. Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of Columbia Uni
versity, gave this definition of "true
democracy:
"a free state built upon free labor,
with liberty for it's watchword and
justice as its guide, is the ideal of a
true democracy-that from of de-
mocracy which Lowell characterized
so suggestively if incompletely as one
in which every man has a chance and
knows that he has it.
ITO the hectic, emotional radicalism
that clamors for the exaltation of the
mediocre and the unfit, and upon
which false democracy builds, true
democracy will oppose healthy, in.
tellectual liberalism that will aim to
redress old wrongs without inflicting
new ones.
."This liberalism of true democracy
sees the end of perfected individual
ism not in selfshness but in service
not in isolation but in fraternity"

New York Trade Unionists
Urge a Permanent Alliance
Against Communist ''Borers'

undermined many of the needle and
allied trades in the city.
Other disguised communist groups
working the labor movement are to be
exposed. Among these are nuclei
among Negroes, the foreign born, the
Filippinos and organizations for the
release Of political prisoners, for the
protection Of civil rights, all used as
aliases to cloak their real intent,
which is to hamstring the American
labor movement.
All trade union agencies are urged
to act in concert to end a genuine and
we'll financed menace that already has
crippled two important international
unions and which has made serious in
roads among score of others.
Some of Injury Repaired
Something of the injury done the
cloakmakers by an agreement signed
by communist leaders has been
repaired by international officers who
under arbitration succeeded in getting
concessions out of the wreckage for
10000 workers in the contractors
shops. Despite their failures the
communists still have a large follow
ing of trusting workers in the needle
trades.

DOLLAR PATRIOTS

Senator King said he was confirm

$25 100000 for $25O,0OO and cloaked
their conduct under the guise of pa

The alien property custodian had

NEWSPAPER ORGANS
Of Industry Urge ''Ca Can
ny" Policy

BY International Labor News Service.
Montreal Newspaper organs OF
big business in Canada are now open
ly advocating "ca' canny" in produc-
ton, in order to protect dividends and
interests. 1t would be terrible
thing for labor paper to advise
workers not to produce too much one
month lest over-production ensue and
wages be reduced next month.
But here is the Canadian Financial
Post, under the caption, protect the
Bond holders" editorially warning
against construction of more apart
ment houses in Toronto at the present
time. Another editorial in the same
issue dealing with the report of a
commission on the abandonment OF
farms in Manitoba declares that the
solution is balanced production which
means that the time, rate and method
of expansion, as we'll as the selection
of land to be brought under the plow
should be controlled"
The leading organ of Canadian bus
mess also contains articles predicting
disaster unless the production of pa.
per is restricted.

High Point Of Insurance
Prosperity is Reached As
Union Labor Enters Arena

By international Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-The Union La
Dor Life Insurance Company, Mat
thew Woll president, now preparing
for the opening of business, enters the
arena at the crest of American insur-
ance prosperity.
Residents of the United States
bought more life insurance during
1926 than in any year in history.
The value of new, ordinary life
policies written during the year by
principal companies was about a per
cent in excess of the value of policies
written during 1925. This is shown
by study Of data collected by the
Life Insurance Research Bureau OF
Hartford, Conn. The data deal with
sales during the first IL months OF
1926 compared with the same period
of 1925. But the persentage of in

crease will show little change when
data are obtainable for the entire
12-month period
Florida led all other states in the
purchase of life insurance in compar-
iscn with the preceding year. Sales
in that state in 1926 showed an in
crease of % per cent in comparison
with 1925. This proportion is based
on the value of policies.
In New York an increase of per
cent is shown. In Pennsylvania the
increase was per cent, in Ohio 5
per cent, Illinois per cent, Con-
necticut per cent and Michigan 9
per cent
In II states decreases were re-
ported despite the fact that for the
country as whole the business in
creased
An increase in the purchase of life
insurance is regarded as an indica-
tion of an advance in the financial
condition of the average family of any
community.

federal government will interfere un-
til they have had sufficient time to
starve the Miners Union into sub
mission.
The output Of coal is now approx
mately 100000 tons week in excess
of the rate of consumption. Great cor
porations are stocking coal, and pre-
pairing for a summer of idleness in
the union fields.
Operators in Dilemma
Just at the moment when this piece
of strategy on the part of the oper-
ators is working well, the Parker bill
is pushed to the front, and presents
than the prospects of strike. If a
strike develops, it is virtually certain
to push the Parker bill to the front
in both houses. The recent changes
in it put the operators in a position
where they can not effectively fight
it, unless they repudiate the utter
ances of their own spokesman.
wages during the fall and winter that
are higher than the Jacksonville scale
have disarmed themselves to resist a
demand by the miners for renewal of
the present scale. Their only hope to
bring down the wage scale is to stock
the country mountain high with re-
serve coal before the strike starts, and
then to starve the miners into sub
mission before the stock piles are ex-
hausted.
Congress Is Feared
Whether the federal administration
will step in and demand halt in the
assault on the union wage scales re-
mains to be seen. The operators are
counting on the administration re-
| naming aloof from the. matter, but
they are not so certain about con-
gress doing so.

RAIL BOARDS POWER
WEAKENED BY COURT

Kansas City, Mo. - The federal
court of appeals has challenged the
power of the interstate commerce
commission to fix railroad valuations
by setting aside the commissions
$49,000,000 valuation of the Kansas
City Southern railroad and perpetu-
ally enjoins the commission from fix
ing any valuation.
Under the law the commission is
required to fix such valuations and
then make rates allowing the carriers
a reasonable return.
The commission has expended mil
lions of dollars in this work and the
decision will be appealed to the
United States supreme court. The
railroads insist that valuations are
too low.

rallies held in the early weeks of the
strike, Gustave Deak, president of the

clared the strike will go on

New York City. A permanent
alliance of American trade unions to
offset the communist cheka squads
and nuclei in various labor organiza-
tions is urged by the committee for
the preservation of the trade unions
Already $50 unions, II trades, ten
central bodies and more than 100000
workers, mainly from unions infested
with the "borers" are acting in con-
cert.
New York has been the main battle
ground between . the genuine unions
and the union wreckers, but the fight
ing is spreading to Boston, Philadel-
phia and Chicago, where the Mos
cow adherents have strong outposts.
The Central Trades and Labor
Council here and the Chicago Fedora
ton have taken hand in the battle.
Prominent leaders Of the American
Federation of Labor have taken
charge locally. The difficult work of
crushing the nests of communists in
the. International Ladies' Garment
Workers Union has begun. All the
local unions in the recent disastrous
cloak strike are being reorganized.
Communists hold the local offices and
the two organizations are waging war
on each other. The support of the
American labor movement is rallied
by the international to help in des-
perate effort to swing back from the
brink of destruction.
Gains Were Signed Away
An appeal addressed to trade
unionists from the first anti-commun-
st conference stresses the following
"Not content with character assas-
sination and plotting within their
secret nests, the communists have
broken up public meetings while cry
ing for their own right to be heard
in public. They have exalted deceit
into a virtue and elevated intrigue
into principle.
"They have used strikes to ad-
vance the fortunes of the communist
party rather than the claims of the
strikers to better economic condi-
tions. They have signed away the
gains. made by the furrier in previous
years and boasted Of victory
They have called 10000 cloakmakers
on strike without consulting them and
have so completely mismanaged the
strike that the sum total is ruin and
distress in the union, it's members and
the women and children dependent
upon them.
"We submit that tolerance of these
crimes against the principles of trade
unionism and labor solidarity would
itself be crime against the trade
unions. We have endured this inso.
lence long enough. We have resolved
to end it,"
Foster Source of Intrigue

balance and news value.

will gain members.
Henry Ford will continue to be
Henry Ford, to the great delight of
barn dance fiddlers and the proletar-
it-except that part of it which re-
fuses to be fooled about his five-day
week.
The items here enumerated include
everything that can happen, except
war in the Balkans, more or less Mus
solini on the Italian boot heel, set
tlement of the Tacna-Arica question,
the reconstruction of China, emanci-
patton of the Russian people and
another spill by the Prince of Wales.
New Year comes. Its coming is
less significant than most folks will
admit. Really and practically, Janu-
ary first is like the first Of any other
month in most important matters.
Spiritually it is of less moment than
many other days.
Lots Of folks talk about turning
over "a new leaf" on New Years
Day. That is generally sign of
moral weakness-of needing some
sort of post to lean against before
doing what ought to lave been done
long ago.
But important or not, we make q
great fuss about January l. We blow
horns and ring bells until insanity
seems pleasant refuge for tortured
nerves. We make madhouse Of every
habitation.
January l is more a symbol than
anything else. It is sign Of a new
cycle, and all life seems to run in
cycles. But other days more aptly
mark most Of the important cycles
Of life.
However, the calendar being what
it is, we pick on January and go to
it with gusto in such measure as our
more or less wearied souls permit
We make idiots Of ourselves the
queer thing about it is that most Of
us enjoy it immensely!
| Happy New Year, and may you,
shadow never grow shorter!

Mine Production is Rushed
In Effort to Pile Up Great
Bituminous Surplus Stocks

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Bituminous op-
orators in anticipation of the coming
conference with representatives of the
United Mine Workers at Miami
Florida, where new wage contract
is to be negotiated, appear to have
let themselves in for considerable
trouble at the hands Of congress
How to avoid trouble with congress,
and at the same time evade renewing
the wage contract with the Miners
Union is problem which even the
"best minds" of the industry appear
unable to fathom.
The Parker b:l.. in the lower house,
providing for federal regulation of
the industry, has been changed to
cover the details of statistical activi-
ties, and furnishing such data to a
government agency, which the opera
tors say they are voluntarily collect
ing and disseminating among them
selves now.
Assails Parker Bill
H. S. Candy, secretary of the Ma
tional Coal Association, in a speech
recently before the American Mining
| Congress, assailed the Parker bill
and outlined the things which the
operators are already doing. A short
time later Representative Parker, Of
| New York, brought in a new bill
changed from the old one to cover the
objections raised by Mr.. Candy, anc
making it compulsory upon the oper.
ators to supply the government with
the data which he said they are now
preparing and distributing among
| themselves.
Indications are that the operators
have been Unanswered into a posi-
tion where they can not effectively
oppose the Parker measure, unless al
the same time they repudiate the ut.
terances Of Mr.. Candy.
New Bill Prepared
| No single incident in recent months
has so clearly opened the way for Goa
Legislation by congress as the re-
marks of the operators spokesman be-
for the Mining Congress. Taking the
speech as a pattern, Mr.. Parker pre-
pared a new bill which provides fol
the following:
A basis for additional legislation
compulsory fact finding and reporting
to government agency; mediation
conciliation and arbitration of labor
differences by the department Of la
Dor or a body named for this purpose
declaration of the existence of emer
gencies by the president; sand distri
button and price FIXING by the govern
! ment during such emergency.
Production at High Level
Although the British strike, which
created temporary demand fol
American coal, ended several week
Iago, the bituminous operators hav'
continued to push production at higl
wages in an effort to create Goa
stocks almost mountain high in tn,
industrial districts. This is purel.
