Standards to Be Challenged
We must all regard the truth with
respect to Americas industry and that
truth is that we have enjoyed an un-
usual period of development and pros
perity, the latter not continuous but
in the general aspect good. To say
that this is not an attending circum
stance, the outgrowth of the war,
would be for US to deny the obvious.

Energy for Cooperation
Remove, by the course indicated in

increased productivity in America;
you will restore trade affection and

Men of industry-both employees and
employers-can transfer their talents
from the offensive and defensive to-

The most important situation con-
fronting the labor movement in
America today is the question as to
whether we shall have war or peace
in industry. 1t is the most impor-
tant question, not because we fear the
results of war or fear the results of
peace, but rather because of the un-
certainties existing as to what course
we shall pursue.
Obviously, prosperity and stability
of industry means more to the en-
ploye than it does to the employer
because there are more employees de-
pendent upon industry's existence,
hence it is not too much to say that
the workers should be the leaders in
a campaign to eradicate misunder-
standings and uncertainties that un-
dermine industrial prosperity.
The losses in productivity accruing
from uncertainties as to the status of
the workers in industry is infinitely
more costly than an actual fight. 1t
is not possible for man to give his
best talents to his profession if he is
in doubt as to the tenure of his posi-
ton. If he is laboring under the pos
sibilities of being locked out or being
called out on strike, of course he isn't
going to give generously of his ingen-
uities, physical and mental, to thebus-
mess in which he is engaged, and in
measure this principle is applicable to
the employers position; he, being in
possession of the capital, hesitates in
investing for expansions, improve
ments and meeting depreciations if he
is in doubt as to the continuity OF the
business in which he has and is call
ed upon to invest moneys.
Peace Better Than War
The writer prefers peace to war;
we have practiced peace and we have
found it more profitable to the mem
bership of the International Printing
Pressmen and Assistants Union of
Nnrth America than that which ac-
crued by spasmodic wars with the
employers of our industry who are
engaged with US in developing bust
ness.
The writer, believing in the value
of peace and repudiating war, sup
ports the principle of conciliation and
arbitration. There is no more excuse
for warfare in industry, if the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining is rec
ognized and the machinery for concil-
iation and arbitration is set up so that
facts and the truth can be ascertain
ed, than there is in suggesting that
our form of government in the United
States is all wrong, and for the rea-
sons as stated in the foregoing it is
my Judgment that in every industry

OUR METROPOLITAN
DISTRICT

In common with other outstanding
and up coming cities of Nutmegia,
New Britain now seems to possess
metropolitan district: and the popu
lation Is "estimated' at $4,000
With this safely tucked away in the
brain, We enter the new year with
renewed confidence that we are no
mean city.
Figures don't lie, but estimates
sometimes do-so runs a proverb OF
modern vintage. In this case We are
willing to admit, however, that the
estimate may he correct, realizing it
will not make a whit of difference
10 anyone. The sum total of business
there is in the community depends
upon the facts and ignores csti-
mates; and as this is something
every intelligent business man al
ready knows We do not hesitate in
bringing that up.

but merely referred to in a manner
indicating everyone is fully aware of
its dimensions. Considering that the
metropolitan district of Hartford
sprawls over scores, if not hundreds,
Of square miles round and about,
that the metropolitan district of
New Haven bumps up toward that
of Meriden--if It has any. and
Waterbury, and that the metropoli-
tan district of the latter also ex-
tends in various directions into the
sectors belonging to other metropol-
tan districts-in view of all this self
evident scrambled condition of the
respective spheres of influence. let
us consider our metropolitan district
as large as the best Of them, in
which case the estimate of its popu-
lation can go even higher than 1885,
OO0.
AS VIC opinionated upon a previous
occasion, when setting up metropoli-
tan districts, the job should be thor
oughly done. It is no occasion for
reluctance or fear of contradictions.

clude trading areas the opportunity

SKILL AT CARDS

whist a lottery.

the lengths of ealing off the gen.

raiding activities by referring to the
fact that the state Supreme court
had already interpreted the law and
no assistance in this respect was
needed by the police department.

had stated that a game of skill is
not a lottery: and whist, to be sure.
