STRIKERS ASK AID
AGAINST WAGE CUT

New Bedford( Mass.-The Textile
Council appeals for financial aid for
10000 textile workers who have been
on strike five months against wage
reductions.
''This movement" the council says,
''has become the strategic center of
the trade union battlefront against
anti-union employers"
Five tevtile barons, led by former
United States Senator Butler, are di-
recting the fight for lower living
standards.
eve have proved over and over and
over that our case is proper and just"
the council declares. "But that makes
no impression on the five old men in
New Bedford who have held other
manufacturers in line to break the
unions. The younger mill men would
be glad to open their mills at the old
rates, but they are helpless in the
hands of five Intensely wealthy anti
union employers"

CRAFTY
Utility Law is Upset by U. S.
Court

Muskogee, Okla.-The revocable
permit law, passed by the State Leg
islature, was branded the "most infa-
nous legislation ever forced upon a
long-suffering people," by Federal
Judge R. L. Williams.
If utility surrenders its charter
or franchise, under the permit law it
may receive an indeterminate permit
to operate. This permit, granted by
the corporation commission, can only
be revoked by the State Legislature.
While hearing petition of the Ok
lahoma Natural Gas Company, Judge
Williams declared the measure uncon-
stitutional
The hearings exposed methods en-
ployed by the corporations to secure
the passage of the act. Congressman
1 Jed Johnson, who was member OF
| the State Legislature when the act
was passed, and who opposed the
/ scheme, testified that w. o. Fleming
a utilities lobbyist, said to him: "We
are going to take care of our friends
we are going to finance their cam
paigns." Johnson said he was offered
$1,000 for his campaign. Fleming de-
MED he made these statements but ad
mitted he was paid $500 month by
the utility corporations to "check'
members of the State legislature OF
their sentiment for the BILL
''This revocable permit" Judge Viii
liams said, amounts. to nothing more
than perpetual monopoly. If tbs
people of Muskogee want to get rio
of public utility under it they arr
not permitted to hold an election tt
that effect, but they must ask the per
mission of three men sitting as 1
board in Oklahoma City"

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER Z, 1928
THE TIME, is NOW.

How modern machine is creating
unemployment and how those now
being cast adrift are seeking solace
from the union they spurned when
they thought their jobs were safe, is
told in the current issue of the Com
mercial Telegraphers' Journal
Scores of Associated Press oper-
ators have been cast adrift during the
past year on account of the printer"
says this journal. The printer re-
ferred to is a printing machine that
replaces human machine, for the
press telegrapher is human machine
of terrific speed and endurance.
Once upon a time all good tele-
graphers said, ''There will never be a
machine that will do our work"
Some of the men now being let out
by the Associated Press, says the edi-
torial, were nearing pension age;
Others had been faithful in 1907
and none of them dreamed that their
confidence in individual bargaining
would ever be shattered by the Asso-
ciated Press management"
The Journal goes on to say that
these displaced men now are coming
to the union ''to obtain jobs" and
mot to improve conditions in the A.
P" The Journal further declares that
the union is mot an employment
agency for the unemployed, and that
it has long memory in such mat
ters as the one in hand.
Men in other trades may well heed
the warning. The time to get into
the union is before trouble comes.
The time to master the machine is
before the machine masters man and
throws him on the scrap heap.

SHOULD PARDON MOONEY

Thomas j. Moneys pardon plea
rests on a principle that interests
everyone who believes law and justice
should be synonymous.
Mooney is serving a life sentence
for alleged bombing of the San Fran
cisco preparedness parade on July %,
1916 Several persons were killed.
1t was discovered; after the trial,
that Oxman, the states leading wit
ness, committed perjury-that his tes-
timony was an elaborate system of
falsehoods.
Trial Judge Griffin could not grant
a new trial because the discovery of
perjury was not made until after
the case had left his court.
The state supreme court refused to
order a new trial because the Cali
fornia law provides that such action
shall be based on the record of the
trial Naturally, there could be no
reference to perjury in the record.
The principle created in this case
will stand long after the actors are
forgotten.
The political and economic beliefs
of any of these actors has nothing to
do with this principle.
The question is: If man is con-
victed of crime, sentenced to Jail and
it later develops that he was fran
ed" must he stay in Jail because he
failed to discover perjury while he
was being tried?
Under such a theory an individual
has small protection from venia
prosecutors and manufactured public
clamor.

FALSE DEMAND
Created For Power Plant
Dope

Washington.-If school board does
not aid public utilities in distributing
their propaganda to children, a de-
mand for this literature should be
manufactured by the utilities.
This policy is favored by the Grand
Rapids Gas Light Company, according
to letter to the public director of
the Michigan untilities press bureau
from A. G. Schroeder, secretary of the
Grand Rapids concern.
The letter was placed in evidence
at the Federal Trade Commission's
probe.
What sort of response are you re-
ceiving from the city schools of Grand
Rapids? ?" Schroeder asked the pub
licity director.
1T occurs to us if this response is
not what it should be, that we ought
to get busy here ourselves and see
that some requests for copies (of util-
tiles propaganda are forthcoming.

INJUNCTION
Sought Against Painters In
Chicago Contest

Washington, d. c. I. L. N. ST.
Announcement has been made by the
United States Department of Justice
that a suit in equity was instituted
August % in United States District
Court, Chicago, to enjoin the men,
bers of Painters District No. Ia, en-
bracing about 20 local unions of paint
ers and two of GLACIERS and the re-
cording secretaries of each from at
tempting to RESTRAIN trade" in kitch-
en- cabinets. The action follows an in
dictment against some of the mem
bers, returned in April, 1923, and, ac-
cording to the department, was taken
because complaints Continued while in
dicted men were under bond.
The conflict involves the finishing
of built-in kitchen cabinets. Indiana
corporations, particularly Coppes
Bros. and Zook, the Hoosier Manu-
facturng Co., the McDougall Co., G. l.
Sellers & Sons Co., and the Wassmuth-
Endcott CO., are reported to have been
dong about 80 per cent of the bus
mess in built-in kitchen cabinets in
interstate commerce.
These cabinets are finished by q
gun process, baked at the plant. The
companies contend that the, union rules
forbid use of the gun on the job and
that baking can not be done on the
job. The unions have been, according
to the complaint, insisting that these
cabinets must not come to the JOB
finished.

WASTE BAR CUTS
FACTORY COSTS

Washington.-The United States
Bureau of Standards estimates that
during the last few years employers
have saved $3OO,OOOOO0 annually
through the application of simplified
practices.
The Division of Simplifed Practice
of the Department of Commerce has
acted in these cases as centralizing
agency to bring various employing in
terests together and to support their
collective efforts toward eliminating
the wastes inherent in "overdiversifi-
cation" of the product.
The saving in metal lath manufac-
ture alone though eliminating deal
ers' stocks in certain sizes represented
an investment of $2,000,000, which
they now do not have to carry.

NOISY REDS
Are Scorned by British
Miners

London, England.-By a vote of n
to 1 the Minerrs' Federation Of Great
Britain condemned Communists and
pledge every aid to carry out the trade
union policy.
The delegates took this position
when called upon to indorse an anti
Communist declaration by their ex-
ecutives when dissension in the Scot
tish coal field was officially called to
their attention.
The executives declared t h +
"strong condemnation of the Commu-
nists and the minority movement and
the tactics which have been adopted
in the various coal fields, and partic-
ularly in Scotland" and pledged them
selves ITO render all possible help to
the bona fide Scottish Miners Fedora
tion and all other districts which are
carrying out the principles of the
Miners Federation, the ritish Trades
Union Congress and the ritish La
Dor party"
The vote in support of this decla-
ration was $40 for and against.
Each vote represented 1000 members.
The conference rejected the one
big-union system in the coal fields in
place of the present federation. That
vote was 465 to 1863.
The Communist declaration is in
line with similar resolutions by Brit
ish trade unionists who have repudi-
ated, time and again, the noisy min
ority who are only interested in revo-
luton, while processing an interest in
the wage workers.

NEWSPAPER MONOPOLY

In the past year some ninety cities
have come into the class having only
one morning newspaper. An enor-
nous number of cities have come into
the class having morning and eve
ming newspapers under one owner.
ship. With growing speed the com
bination and merging Of newspapers
goes on.
Chicago, as an example, used to
have several morning newspapers.
Now it has only two, the Examiner
and the Tribune-Hearst and McCor-
mick. So large a city as Cleveland
has but one morning newspaper.

We have had considerable success in
previous years in placing educational
matter of this kind, even though we
know that the school authorities are,
as a rule, very conservative about per-
mitting anything that might seem ad-

This monopoly of the news field
may or may not result in what has
been called kept press, and it may
or may not result in loss of enter
prising editorship. 1t can not fail to
produce that feeling of assured hold
that tends at least to make for fiat
ness.
If the trend toward monopoly con-
tinues, the outlook for fearless prob
ing, fighting, searching journalism
is poor.
Of course it may be said there will
be the fear that competition may
arise, but the danger lessons for the
simple reason that embarking or
newspaper publication is today very
expensive business.
The field of the labor paper is en-
larged and made much more lmpor-
tant by the merging and monopolizing
of daily papers. In many American
cities today the trade union weekly
stands out as the only paper through
which the issues vital to the masses
can get an adequate hearing ane
presentation.
A big daily newspaper, monopoliz
ing its field, is a big business enter,
prise. The labor paper remains 8
human enterprise. Therein is it's op
portunity.

Patriotism is decent and proper
regard for country and it is incom-
plete without constant desire to i'm
prove ones country, to make it better
and freer and nobler. These things
are consistent with patriotism which
refuses to berate and demean and con-
denim country at every turn. 1t is con-
sistent with refusal to take the raw
ings of every sick brain that comes
along at their face value.
The pacifst, anti-patriotic propa-
ganda has been puffed up, polished up,
set up and braced up by every sub
versive force in the country.
1t is about time for a return to
sanity, to decency, to democratic
thought and a fair and sane regard
for country. 1t is right to hold that
this is good country and proper to
want to help make it better country.
1t is right to be patriotic American
citizen.

The pacifists at this moment
doubtless feel their stock soaring.
They have plenty of reason to feel
jaunty. Even so-called statesmen have
catered to their propaganda, even if
they have merely gone through the
age-old practice of statesmen, which
is to make the masses think they have
got one thing while in reality they
have got another.
But it is about time that patriotism
began to come back into fashion, that
it began to be respectable, decent
wholesome thing to have.
Patriotism is not to be confused
with jingoism, which hateful, OF
with imperialism, which is filled with
menace, whether it be territorial i'm
perialism, industrial imperialism ol
financial imperialism.

" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly. sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Strange things have been happen
ing in the world since the big guns
slaughtered their thousands along the
Western Front. To considerable de-
gree the reaction against war has led
great masses of men and women to
regard patriotism and patriotic ex-
preston as tantamount to idiocy.
Sheer, unadulterated pacifism has
grown like weed since the war, and
in the event of another war probably
would score no higher than it did in
the last war when it became in part
a refuge for scoundrels, in part an
expression of either degeneracy or
arrangement and only in small part
a grouping of sincere persons opposed
in devout principle to war
Labor has had on its hands battle
of no small proportions in an endeavor
to maintain a balance as sane force
against hte forces that lead to war on
the one hand anG the Incorporate raw
ings of pathological pacifists on hte
other hand.
One factor in the situation all too
generally forgotten is that the COM

cifists, have fostered and petted the

Every emotional movement finds
itself burdened, or inflated, by load
of unfortunates who are in very
real sense pathological cases. This
human illness, very well understood
by physicians and very little under
stod by the laity from which such in
formation is withheld, plays part in
religious movements as we'll as in
emotional political movements. 1t
goes wherever emotions group men
and women together and it will not be
stopped. The pacifist movement can
no more escape this incubus of sick
ness than can any other movement in
which there is emotional fervor and
emotional yapping.
The American trade union move
ment has never been a pacifist move
ment, it has never joined in the emo
tional pacifist appeals, but it has been
consistently in the van of the con-
structive movement for peace and for
the things that make for peace.
American labor has been patriotic
is patriotic and is likely to remain
patriotic. 1t is perhaps the one move
ment among the masses that has kept
patriotism from falling utterly into
disrepute and disgrace.
