TEACHERS PERSONAL RIGHTS
BY ALL MEANS, VOTE.

Though the teachers of Seattle have
failed in their efforts to maintain their
personal rights by legal procedure,
they still have left the possibilities of
an educational campaign. There is in
volved in this case an issue funda-
mental for human liberty. Unless a
person has the actual right to decide
through what organizations and asso-
Citations he or she will carry on the
activities of life, there is no personal
liberty. The teachers of Seattle choose
to join a teachers union. The school
board now makes as a condition of
employment that each teacher sign a
pledge to give up the right to belong
to a union organization.
A union is legal organization that
has rendered important social services.
IL q SCiiOOl DOdIu Is allowed 10 O6Ily
teachers right of membership in this
organization, the precedent is estab-
lished to justify regulation of the per-
sonal lives of public employees. Such
a principle is clearly at variance with
free institutions. A school board or
any other political agency vested with
such authority is at least potential
menace to the spirit of education.
American labor urges the Seattle
teachers and the Seattle labor move
ment not to permit this precedent to
stand. 1t devolves upon Labor to point
out the injustice in the situation and
to convince the voting citizenry that
this policy must be changed.-Exx.

nary-has shot another hot one around

1t is ordered that all Italian chill
dren in foreign countries-including
the United States-must attend Ital-
ian schools, or be forever barred from
returning to Italy.
The boys will go to Italian schols
and wear black shirts, the government
providing the fees and the cloth for
the shirts, where the parents are too
poor. The teachers will cut the cloth
and the girl pupils will sew the shirts.
That's that.
If Fascism can't live on it's merits
it must live by decree of Mussolini.
Well, maybe it will and maybe it won't.
But at any rate, here is fresh
slant on one of the two blatant and
brutal types of despotism furnished by
the Old World since the war. More

grafton restriction becomes apparent.

in the labor ranks many years, old
timers who in years past have given
much of their time and effort and who
have made many sacrifices for the
cause of the labor movement. Here is
a chance to pay back some of the OBJ
legation we owe to those who have
done much for US. Let us reward them
by going to the polls next Tuesday and
casting our ballots for them.
No trouble to pick them out on the
two tickets-they are all we'll known.

union man will make a good official.

THOSE DRY DRINKERS

Of course it was polite of the Texas
bootleggers to apologize to the con-
sumers for raising the price of whis
key and other liquors at Houston dur
ing the Democratic convention.
They said that the drouth was great
er than they had anticipated and as
a consequence not enough supplies
were provided. They explained further
to the delegates and prohibition ad-
vocates assembled that they had
thought that 5000 cases would be suf-
ficient but that the consumption by
the thirsty patriots was greater than
had ever been known in the south
So it seems that the $4,000 quarts
of whiskey, augmented by what the
local illicit distilleries could produce
was not enough to keep the ardent ad-
vocates of a bone dry and other sorts
of dry planks sufficiently stimulated
to stick to their pious task
Probably two of the wettest spots
in America since prohibition went in
to effect were Kansas City and Hous-
ton during the two recent conventions
Both conventions adopted dry planks
and many were the high sounding
speeches and much earnest and prayer
full endeavor was spent in behalf of
prohibition.
Foreign observers and representa-
tives Of publications will write US down
as nation of hypocrites who talk and
sometimes vote dry but act and drink
wet.

COMPENSATION
FOES CAN'T ADD

Denver-Trade unionists advise
lawyers for large employers in this
state to take a primer course in arith-
metic.
The organized workers have init
ated amendments to the state compen-
sation act, and this is opposed by en-
ploying interests who claim that the
petitions are defective.
"The arithmetic Of the law firm
which checked the petitions is bad,"
said John E. Gross, secretary of the
State Federation of Labor.
He points out that II petitions said
to bear 1,066 signatures are asked to
be stricken out. These petitions con-
tain only 969 names.
The employers oppose any change
in the ancient compensation law, al
though accidents have increased from
1928 in 1919 to 1927 in 1926. Nc
attempt is made to install safety de-
vices, while the average weekly COM
pensation is 1925.

American Bar Association, a conserv-
ative organization if there ever was
one, has just protested against "auto-
matte punishment" which was point
ed out as a growing evil fostered by
legislative bodies in both states and
nation. The Bar Association, meet
ing at Seattle, adopted report which
said:
sThe Fourth Offender Act should
bring to the attention of the bar a
very important question, that if linn
iting the discretion of the judge in
fitting the sentence of the prisoner in
the case before him. The peremptory
order of the legislature that all fourth

prives the Judge who hears the evi-

circumstances lIltO COlSiuSidtioIi, tHS
sentence is automatic. The results Of
this rigidity have already caused doubt
as to the wisdom of the law"
No lover of justice and fair play
can have any quarrel with the con-
tention of the Bar Association. 1t is
surely not conducive to justice to have
man or woman condemned to the
living hell of life sentence regardless
of mitigating circumstances. The
Baumes laws of New York and others
of its kind, which send fourth offend

JOBLESS
Must Move; No Work in
Britain

London, England.-Jobless workers
face starvation in this country and
whole communities must move if they
are to be saved, according to report
of the Industrial Transference Board.
The board has been set up by the gov
ernment to deal with this phase of un-
employment.
The board refers to these workers
as "a tragic problem" 1t is impos-
sible for 100000 of them to find work
in their industries and they have not
the means to move.
Emigration to Canada and Australia
is suggested. A reduction of passage
rates to near pre-war levels is recon-
mended. But even then, the report
continues, emigrants would have to be
provided with clothes and funds on
landing, SO desperate would be their
condition.
