A THEORY OF THE LABOR
MOVEMENT By SeHg Perlman,

Reviewed by JOHN L. SHERMAN.
THE mind of the American bour-
geoise is coming of age This is
the explanation OF the rapidly ac-
cumulating storehouse of conjecture
and reflection upon the social pro-
cess and the labor movement. The
early history of the labor movement
in the United States and even of So
cial development itself is astonish-
ingly devoid Of theory. Events fol-
lowed so rapidly on the heels of one
another that there was no pause for
thought. Reflection follows upon
the conflict with obstacles. When
the going is fairly unhampered.
there is but little call fer the action
Of the "nind." The question
"V'k'ther?" is a product Of strug
gle. The mind of the American bust
ness class is beginning to mature,
It is necessary to examine the new
theories Of the labor movement and
of the social process against the
background here suggested. Only
against such a curtain will their
true perspective be seen.
Before the war, labor was mill
tant, now it is cooperative. This
was the testimony of w. Jett Lauck
so-called labor economist, ct hear
ing before the American Bar Asso-
citation last winter. The same estim-
ate-rrobably even the phrase vols
filched-was made by Inns Clar',
in his review of Labor Dynamics"
by j. B. S. Hartman and others in
the New York Times.
Now it is, of course. not truo
that 1abor," bv which they mean
the official labor movement was
militant before the war. What is
true and significant in this state
ment is that the officialdom of la
Dor before the war still maintained
the pretense of militaucy: that now
it has consciously abandoned even
the gesture of struggle and has
taken over officially the policy of
Cooperation" with the employers.
The value of Prof Perlmans book
is that it carries out to it's concIu-
sion the logic of the position adopted
by the new school of theorists. Of
course, Mr.. HarGman will nor "ac
cept" all the conclusions drawn by
the learned professor of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin. Calhoun, Saposs
Music and the others of what might
be called the cleft wing" of the class
callaborationists, would seek a mid
die ground between out and out
class collaboration and the dogma"
of the class struggle; yet the very
method of their approach to the la
Dor struggle, the so-called pragma-
tic attitude of which they are so
fond, forces them finally and "ir
the long rum to ACT as if the
struggle were not even in existence
It then remains only for Mr.. Perl
man to come along with his con-
clusion that there is no struggle at
all. The fight against theory and
dogma completes itself with the
adoption of theory insipid and
shameful.
Twenty years ago." Perlman
confides, "the author of this book
like most of his college generation
in Russia professed the theory of
the labor movement found in Marx
ian classics. :"
Fortunately the spirit, of which
the professor later makes much Of

Yes, this means the company

THE STORY OF TRANSPORTA-
TION. Jeanette Eaton. Harper
& Bros. 81.
Reviewed by WALT CARMON.
IN this attractive booklet for chill
dren, on single story thread are
beaded all the modes of transpor-
tation from the canoe of the Indian
to the airplane. All of it is a most
elementary scientific explanation III
a fashion child could not help but
enjoy.
Unfortunately, the book is not as
scientific in it's explanation of the
vital forces that prompt invention
and scientific research. Nor is
there added a word as to the part
they play in our lives nor the world
we live in. At times this limita-
ton of the book is even amusing.
For instance: the reason all cities
do not have subways is that "it
takes a great many people riding
every day and paying out thousands
and thousands of fares all the time
to pay back to the city all it has
spent to build these underground
railroads" To the city? And after
the people have paid and paid until
they have paid in full? Then what?
And why?

Travelling Stones.

Travelling stones, from the size Of a
pea to six inches in diameter, are
found in Nevada, says the Kansas City
Times. When distributed upon floor
or other level surface within 2 or 3
feet of one another they Immediately
begin to travel onward toward COM
mon center and there lie huddled. like
a clutch Of eggs in a nest.
A single stone, removed to a distance
of 315 feet, upon being released at
once started with a wonderful and
somewhat comical celebrity to join its
fellows.
These queer stones are found in a
region that is comparatively level and
little more than bare rock Scattered
over this barren region are little basins,
from a few feet to rod or two in
diameter, and it is in the bottom of
these that the rolling stones are found.
The cause for the strange conduct
of these stones is doubtless to be found
in the material Of which they are COM
posed, which appears to be lodestone or
magnetic iron ore.

ROCHEFORT, France, october %
A demonstration against the unveiling
OF a monument to the late Premier
Emile Combes has resulted in the kill
ing of one man and the wounding of
two others. The statue was damaged
and 10 persons were under arrest to-
day
Strong police lines guarded the
monument when Edouard Herriot, min
lister of public instruction and of fine
arts, delivered an eulogy of Combes,
who was premier from 1902-1905. 1t
was during these years that teaching
congregations were expelled and law
generally known as the separation of
the churches and the state was passed.
Just as M. Herriot concluded his
speech the demonstrators broke through
police lines. Some carried hammers,
and they smashed the nose, chin and
ear of the statue. A free-for-al fight
ensued.

SAN FRANCISCO. october 29.-Cre-

Journalism of Great Britain, will be un-

IS at conference between British and
American editors and publishers, l. was
announced here yesterday.
Ralph D. Blumenfeld. editor of the
London Express president Of the Brit
ish institute and head of the party OF
IA British journalists now touring
America. revealed skeleton plans for the
projected meeting.
On the night of November 13, Mir.
Blumenfeld stated, he will present to
prominent Eastern editors, publishers
and newspaper owners the scope and
method of operation Of the Institute of
Journalism in the British Isles He will
do so, he said, at the request of Amer
lean newspaper men.
The British Institute of Journalism IS
given credit for placing the n 'SDaper
profession on the high scale it has at
tanned in Great Britain and boasts n
elaborate system for the care and pro-
lection Of newspaper men and their de-
pendents.
Although in no sense controlled by
the newspaper employees, the institute
provides minimum scale for reporters,
maintains pension fund, cares for the
widows and children of deceased news
paper men and in many ways works for
the upbuilding of the profession.
Under its pension system newspaper
men are retired at 60 on a pension Of
S1,100 annually, while the same pension
is granted newspaper women retired at
so.
Where a newspaper man dies and
leaves minor children without support
the institute provides for their educa-
ton and where possible obtains posi-
tions for them.
Virtually every newspaper of promi-
nence in Great Britain is a member Of
the Institute of journalism, Mr.. Blum
enfield said, with the result that its
powers are reaching.

QUICK RELIEF
FROM
CONSTIPATION

That is the joyful cry of thou
sands since DIR. Edwards produced
Olive Tablets, the substitute for
calOmel.
DR.. Edwards, a practicing physi-
clan for 20 years and calomel's
Old-time enemy, discovered the
formula for Olive Tablets while
treating patients for chronic con-
stipation and torpid liverS.
Olive Tablets do not contain
caIomel, just healing, soothing
vegetable laxative mixed with
olive oil.
No gripping is the keynote" of
these little sugar-coated, olive
coIored tablets. They cause the
bowels and liver to act normally.
They never force them to un-
natural action.
IL YOU have a dark brown
mouth"-bad breath-a dull, tired
feeling - sick headache - torpid
liver-constipation, you'll find
quick, sure and pleasant results
from one or two of DIR. Edwards

civil SERVICE
Mayor Opposes Portion of
Committee Plans.

Doubt as to whether the proposed
civil service system will extend be-
yond the police and fire depart
ments was expressed today by
Mayor L. Ert Slack.
Slack said the civil service COM
mittee which he named two weeks
ago had not begun to formulate the
regulations which council unani-
mouSly demanded be established in
city departments.
II think I'll check over the rules
of the Duvall administration and
indicate the provisions which I am
opposed to. This will give the COM
mittee something to start on" the
mayor said.
Deputy Controller A. B. Good,
City Attorney Edward H. Knight,
and Councilman John F. White
compose the mayors committee
which he named following discus
sion of the merit system at cabi-
net session.
The council recommended a uni
form system for appointment and
promotion of city employees, but
Slack said he is opposed to regu-
lation which prevents department
heads from promoting or firing en-
ployes.
The mayor expressed resentment
over councils recommendation that
the administration not have free
hand" in selection and promotion of
emplOyeS.

STRONG FOR
AIRSHIP RULE
Purdue Science Dean Cites
Embargo on
HeIium.
BY DR.. r.. A. MOORE
Dean of Science, Purdue University
written for the United PresS)

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Oct. 19.-Dr.
Hugo Eckener, who has so sue
cessfully brought the Graf Zeppelin
across the Atlantic, states that he IL
interested in getting $14,000,000 Of
American capital for the purpose OF
constructing four airships and oper-
ating them between Germany and
the United States.
1t is not necessary for American
capital to go to Germany for either
the building or operation of airShipS.
A contract has just been let by
the Navy with the Goodyear COM
pany for the construction of two
airships nearly twice the size of the
Graf Zeppelin.
In addition capitalists in the
east have been interested for a
number Of years in construction and
operation of airshipS and such line
would have been in operation by
this time had it not been for the IA
tai accident Of the Shenandoah,
which gave the "heavier- than-air
men an opportunity to influence
public opinion adversely.
An airship company controlled in
Germany, even though it is
financed by American money,
would not be able to use helium
as there is a United States embargo
on helium at the present time.
Any airship company using n.y.
drogen runs a serious risk which
would not be the case of nonin11am-
able helium were used.
The United States possesses the
only large supplies of this gas, and
therefore any airship company
financed by American capital should
be or rated from this country in
order that this gas may be availa-
BILE. National defense also makes
it imperative hat ownership and
control of such a line should be in
America.
