A STEP FORWARD

The Pennsylvania department of
labor and industry has issued book
let bearing on its cover the inspiring
words: "The firms listed herein do
not bar men from employment on ac-
count of age" This is a step for
ward in industrial relations that
breaks a rift in the clouds. 1t in
spires confidence in the firms enumer-
ated and we believe that such
humane and progressive step can not
fail to bring an added measure of
material prosperity to the firms sub
scribing to this honorable creed. 1t
is the most refreshing piece of liter
ature in this propagandized season
that has come to our attention.
A message on the title page from
Charles A. Waters, secretary of labor
and industry, reads: 81 deeply ap-
preciate the attitude of employers
herein listed who have placed them
selves upon record with the bureau
Of employment Of the department of
labor and industry to the effect that
they will not bar men from employ
ment on account of age, but will en-
ploy men solely upon the basis Of fit
ness to perform the duties Of which
their services might be required"
1t is explained that the firms enum-
Grated will hire men mentally and
physically capable regardless Of age,
and the firms have assured the de-
partment that they will not bar any
person from their employ solely be-
cause of having reached any particu-
lar age. 1t is pointed out the bu-
reau of employment will issue GER
tificates to the firms in appreciation
Of their attitude and response to the
departments appeal to lift the age
barrier, and it is felt the plan will
aid in the solving of very serious
economic problem confronting indus

GREETINGS TO A GREAT
CONVENTION

Only a few of the more than three
and a quarter million members of the
American Federation of Labor can at
tend its great conventions. But all
are interested in the achievements of
this great legislative body.
The convention now in session in
New Orleans is one Of the most inn
portant ever held. The policies that
President Green has been developing
may be said to be now in full flower.
The labor movement is keeping step
with the times, and in many respects
is going ahead of the times, as it

WHO SHALL SAY TO US!

The A. F. of L. executive council
recommends that trade unions with
hold financial support from Brook
wood College because of opposition to
trade union philosophy and tactics.
The council is charged with opposing
academic freedom"
Are trade unions to be denied the
right to say what sort of education
they favor?
Must they support the teaching of
communism, for instance, lest they be
charged with being against academic
freedom?
The trade unions are not attempt
ing to regulate any school. They
have the right to say whether they
will aid such school, and they exer-
else such right.
They take the same position when
they oust communists. The "reds"
howl that they are denied free speech,
but the unionists reply: Hire hall;
our meetings are not for revolution
airy purposes and our unions, are not
intended to be revolutionary kinder
gartens."
This position is plain enough to
any one who is willing to acknowledge
fact.

COMPANY "UNION" RAINBOW

A writer on social and economic
questions says the company union"
is probably in all cases better than
no union at ALL" but that "they can
be genuinely helpful to the worker
only in proportion as they become
truly representative of their mem
bers and independent of employer con-
troll"
How can company union" be
independent of employer control?
The instant it does become indie
pendent it loses it's fundamental char.
acteristic.
To intimate that the company
union" is an Improvement where NJ
| legitimate trade union exists is to ig
more the purpose of the compan!
union"
The company union" has one pur
pose-to defeat organization o.
workers. The employer who control.
it has no other object.
This question must be discussed il
terms of principle. One should no
be swayed by outward forms or hon
eyed pretense.
These are but the rainbow paintet

that otter characterize county of
township construction and mainten-
ance.
There has been recent agitation In
the press for greater Federal aid in
road building. This is a further de-
veIopment of the centralized idea,
and would tend TO national uni
formity in our roads-the ideal ar
rangement.
Up to June 80, 1927, the Federal
appropriation and authorized appro-
priation was $84O, 100000. BY
that date roads constructed or under
construction with Federal aid totaled
rs, 900 miles, while the entire pro
gram of road building with Federal
aid was 10000 miles. or approx
mately per cent Of all the roads
then in existance.
Under the Federal aid plan, the
Government participates in building
not more than z per cent OF the
total certified road mileage in the
State. The Government contribu-
ton is limited to not more than %
per cent of the cost Of labor and
materials for such roads, and the
maintenance is entirely up to the
State. The Federal appropriation
for States, however, in which more
than per cent of the area is public
land is slightly higher.
Federal aid seems to be the only
solution for States in which the
area is large and the population
small, and in which road taxes
would prove burdensome. 1t is an
axiom of the industry that wealth
follows the automobile, and the
automobile OF course, comes In
greatest numbers where roads are
good. Feedral aid would, it is ap
parent, help develop those States
whose budgets will not stand large
bond issues, and the State in turn
would show rapidly increased
wealth to offset the expenditure.
Another favorable development Of
the year is the negative attitude Of
the public toward stunt or speed
runs.
All in all the year 1927 was the
most notable in the history OF the
industry in the highway and leg
islative progress made. There is
evidence that these two phases will
attain the same accelerated pace ~
the industry itseIf-a circumstance
highly commendable from the view
point of both the car owning public
and the automobile building.

Perhaps the most encouraging ne-'
velopment during the entire year
was the new attitude on the part Oh
the public ana public officials To-
ward elimination OF obsolete restrlc-
TONS on motorists. This was evil
0enced in a dozen States last year
bv increases in maximum speed
regulations, and, in the instance Oh
Michigan, the elimination entirely
OF a. maximum speed law
This move even. went so far as 20
cause agitation for a minimum speed
law. This was urged in the nope OIL
eliminating accidents caused by cars
edging out the slow moving trat-
fic line by requiring all cars to mann
tain a speed consistent with safety.
Much Road Development
Road development during the year
paralleled the progress made IN leg
islation. Indications are that the to-
tai expenditure for road building
and maintenance will compare favor
ably with anv previous years bud
get. The programs of the State
highway departments called Tor an
expenditure of $648,48S, 900 for the
construction of 1854 miles of road
and the maintenance OF 2S9'S4
miles. while counties and townships
planned to expend an additional
$475, 200, 900.
Under this program the state
Highway departments would con-
Ctruct nearly $1,000 miles OF ROADS
as against 1882 miles in 1875. rms
brings the total mileage In the StaIe
system to approximately SO4'oVV
miles, and the total mileage Oh All
roads in the United States to con-
'x;dershIv in excess of the three
million mark. About 555,OOO mics
If the total were surfaced by 1925,
or approximately four times me sur
faced mileage 20 years ago.
or as much importance as the IN"
crease in mileage is the method IN
which the financing of the new
roads has accomplished. In 19O4'
when the total road mileage vas
2.151,S79. the appropriation was only
STE. 965 ,995, and more than 80 per
cent of this amount was raised by
local governments, such as counties
and townships, which at that time
fIoated all highway bond issues
In 1925, for which the latest &C
curate figures are available. the
total road mileage was 1901 1875, and
the expenditure on roads in excess
OF a billion and a half dollars. Or
this tremendous sum, the States
raised more than 81 per cent, the
Federal Government bout 10 per
cent, and the local governments the
remainder. In 1926 about half OF
all highway bond issues were floated
by the States.
Tendency to CentraIixe
There is a highly commendable
tendency underway to centraliZe
our road building, with the State
taking the burden Of road conStruc-
ton and maintena nee off the small
localities. This will mean uniform
development throughout the State
and will eliminate the haphazard
building and Indifferent markings
