WAVERING LOYALTY is
EASILY STARTED

"To fail to attend union meetings
is the first step in losing interest.
Loss of interest means wavering of
loyalty" says President William
Green in a current issue of the Amer
lean Federationist.
True words as were ever uttered
by any man are the above credited
to the president of the A. F. of L..
The reason today that the unions are
not the controlling bodies of this coun-
try is not the fact that fights have
been made on them, but that the
members themselves are prone to stay
at home and let a handful of mem
hers transact the business for them.
If the five millions of organized work
ers of America were regular attend
ants at all union meetings and were
taking an active interest in the
affairs of their organizations, were
needing the advice of our leaders,
would qualify themselves and vote in
elections, the influence of the trades
unionists would be the strongest sin
gle factor in our nations life today.
Continuing Mr.. Green says: can
efficient trade union is insurance
against deterioration in wages and
working conditions. There is not al
ways time to revive or reorganize
after danger develops. In addition
to strong union for defensive pur-
poses it is even more necessary to
have an alert, active union to enable
wage earners to take constructive
part in considering problems and de-
termining policies. 1t is far better
to avert trouble by seeing to it that
developments are wisely directed than
merely rely upon defensive tactics to
repeal aggression"
It is duty that every man or
woman owes to their organization to
attend meetings. A member of
trade union who does not attend the
meetings regularly is inviting trouble
not only for himself, but for the entire
membership of his organization, for,
as Mr.. Green says, loss of interest
means wavering of loyalty, and such
loss of interest or waning loyalty is
surely known by opponents of unions
who are quick to use same to their
interests.

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
WINS

The results of the election held last
week should surely make it plain to
the gas mains lease and electric plant
sale advocates that the people of
Hamilton favor municipal ownership
and are determined to keep control of
the city's plants.
All those elected to the new city
council, with one exception, in pre-
election statements to the public, de-
clared themselves as favoring munici-
pal ownership. The one exception is
Minor NJ. Beckett, who frankly stated
he favors repairing the city's gas
mains and the city operating the gas
department under the present condi-
tions of the gas contract with a good
cost accounting System, and then the
city should be in position to definitely
decide whether it wants to continue
to own and operate the department.
Mr.. Beckett's stand is a frank and
fair one, and is considered so by all
fair-minded people. The great ma
jority of the people, fully 85 per cent,
favor retaining control of the city's

tective laws for them and the federal
laws no longer offer any help in that
direction.
TIPPING

That the tipping system is opposed
by organized labor in virtually all the
trades in which the system is preva-
lent, is pointed out by the Monthly
Labor Review of the United States
Bureau of Labor Statistics, which de-
clares that tipping is in essence
merely method by which the public
adds to the inadequate wages paid by
employers.
Tipping prevails especially in the
so-called personal service" occupa-
tions. In occupations in which the
custom of giving tips has been gen.
orally accepted by the public, such as
among Pullman porters, walters and
mattresses, operators in beauty par
lors, and chauffeurs, the practice is
one of the main obstacles in securing
the basic wage. 1t is mainly on this
ground. therefore, that the unions op-
pose the giving of gratuities, although
it is objected to also on the ground
that receiving tips tends to detract
from the independence of the worker
and to create a servile spirit.
at is safe to say that the abolition
of tipping would be welcomed by the
publc," the bureau says. "Many pa
irons now tip because they feel that
tin insures better service, or because
without it the service would be medi-
ocre. Many do so because they are cog
nizant of the fact that the tipped
occupations are usually underpaid
| Jobs and that the tip is the necessary
supplement to the wage; or do so
unwillingly, because they think that
the tip is expected and they feel they
must do the usual thing. The tip
! is often an embarrassment to the
giver in that he may be uncertain as
to the amount he should give, and to
the recipient in that there is implied
in the taking a certain inferiority of
status"

believe conducting their own plants

on retaining control of the plants at
a great loss when once convinced that
this is so.
With the knowledge gained from

The College of Agriculture of the
University of Minnesota jumped in
to the limelight at the very beginning
of the stock judging at the Internal
ional Livestock Exposition in Chicago
last week.
With Chester Whites, it took the
grand champion for the best pen of
three fat barrows of any breed at
the whole exposition. 1t took the
championship for the best pen of
three barrows in the Chester White
classes, of course. 1t took both the
championship and the reserve cham
pionship for the best and next best
single barrow in the Yorkshire breed
and also for the best and the next
best pen of three Yorkshries. 1t took
the championship for the best pen of
three barrows in the Poland China
classes. 1t carried off fourteen first
prizes in various classes and long

abcunded. Specimens organizations
in Minnesota, such as my own, the
Hennepin County Sportsmen's Club,
the Minnesota Game Protective
League, the Ramsey County Sports
mems Club, and the Minnesota Divis-
ion of the Izaak Walton League, are
not sponsoring the introduction of any
game bird to the tune of $4,000
which comes from their own pockets,
without first making very extensive
and careful study of the worth and
adaptability of this bird to the state
of Minnesota.
"The Hennepin County Sportsmen's
Club has staked it's reputation upon
the introduction of the Hungarian
partridge, and we cannot justly allow
anyone to discredit our efforts with
out positive proof that we are choos-
ing the wrong bird, and l would like
to ask, what qualities has any other
game bird that will compare with
those found in the little brown Hun
garian partridge? He is, without a
doubt, the friend of the farmer, mas
much as he does not destroy any
type of grain and is purely an insec-
tivorous bird during the summer
months. So, in summing up, what
game bird has Mr.. Eaton to suggest
that we may plant in Minnesota COW
ers to leave for posterity in COM
pensation for the wonderful heritage
left to us by our forefathers?
"On November 26 we planted 1,4OO
more Hungarian partridge in Min
nesota, liberating them in rs different
localities throughout the state, and be-
fore spring arrives, we expect 1000
more. This proves our belief that
the Hungarian partridge is necessary
to replace the disappearing native
game birds of Minnesota"

With the importing of fifty odd
birds by the local chapter of the Izaak
Walton League of America, the peo-
pie of Redwood Falls and community
are given an opportunity to know the
habits of this game bird through re-
cent article appearing in the Mime
apolis Journal, written by George w.
Mccullough, chairman, Propagation
Committee, Hennepin County Sports
mems Club. The article:
"In defense of the Hungarian part
ridge imported from Europe, and in
reply to the article in The Sunday
journal, November 20, over the sig
nature of Robert A. Eaton, Edgeley,
N. D.
SIN his article Mr.. Eaton substan-
tiates our contention by stating that
the Hungarian partridge or, properly
called European gray partridge, are
conceptionally prolific, stating that
these birds have spread over dis
tance of 100 miles" from their orig
inal planting which numbered APP
proximately 600 birds. This was in
Canada, and they have become ex-
tremely numerous throughout the
territory where these birds have
travelled. To say the least, this in
crease shows a wonderful accom-
plishment, and from the standpoint
of dollars and cents, profitable in
vestment. He tells US that "they
hatch from 20 to "a chicks at set
ting and often hatch twice a season.
These birds live chiefly upon insects
and wild seeds, consuming a great
deal of wild buckwheat, and when
there is heavy snow, they have no
difficulty in finding wild food. In
this respect they are spoken of in
terms of highest praise.
''They are fast on the wing and dis
appear with incredible swiftness.
They are hard to hit and hard to
kill" These are the qualities in the
game bird which we are looking for.
The above statement made by Mr..
Eaton is, as he says, an authentic
statement as gathered through a per-
sonal interview with the game COM
missioners at Edmonton and various
other provinces in Canada.
"Mr. Eaton seems to be most con-
cerned in the question of the dam
age done by the Hungarian partridge
to our native species of game birds,
which he states is due to their ire
mendous prolificy. He quotes the
commissioner at Edmonton as saying,
-'We have had a shortage of grouse
in the year of 1906, 1916 and again
in 1926" You will note that this is
at intervals of about 10 years. If
the Hungarian partridge caused the
shortage of native birds, why at such
intervals, and why not gradual de-
pletion year after year? The COM
missioner at Regina told Mr.. Eaton,
From all that has been said by our
correspondents, it is quite evident that
among observers there is a conflict
of opinion touching the attitude, one
to to the other, of the Hungarian
partridge and our native grouse"
"All through this article we note
there is lacking any consensus as 20
whether the Hungarian partridge has
actually caused a depletion of native
birds, and it would seem that Mr.. Ea-
ton fails to give us any accurate re-
port where this has occurred.
1--WE agree with him, however, that
there is no finer specimen of game
bird than is found in our native
grouse and prairie chicken, yet the
question with which the Minnesota
sportsmen are confronted is, what
shall we do to replace this wonderful
