OUR "ADYISORS"

These are the days when trade
unionists are pictured as Sturdy, in
telligent, Independent American
workingmen" who can not be deliv-
cred en- bloc by their "leaders" on
election day.
In the absence of a political cam
paign the taffy peddlers picture these
workers as part of trade union tyr
amy that would place all labor on
a dead level.
In both cases the intelligence of
millions of citizens is questioned.
These workers, as usual, will ig-
more both libels. They will continue
to form their political judgments
after they have read the party plat
forms, reviewed the declarations of
candidates and received official rec
ords from the A. F. of L.
1t is this unbiased information, and
the determination of workers to act
accordingly, that worries libellers and
taffy peddlers.

ing the rounds just now. Many have
been the charges that trade unions
limited production, and the unions
have been called many harsh names
for things they have not done.
But now we learn that Mr.. Walter
Teagle, president of Standard Oil of
Jersey, has been in conference with
international oil heads to arrange
limitation of international production
and is en- route home to arrange SIM
liar limitation with American mag
mates. How about that?
The United States department of
agriculture not long ago warned
farmers against planting too much
land to certain crops. How about
that?
The United States department Of
the interior stipulates that there shall
be no speculation in rising land val
ues where irrigation projects are in
stalled. How about that?
So very, very much depends upon
whose OK is gored, or whose goose is
fattened.

COMM UNICATION WITHIN
THE UNION

We think about things that inter-
est us. We cannot be interested in
things we do not know about. These
facts which we all accept can help US
to develop more efficient policies for
trade unions. If the news of impor-
tant discussions and achievements of
the unions are regularly reported to
members, these members are made to
feel that the union is giving them
sustained service, and their interest IS
stirred by regular reminders of meet
ings and undertakings. A number of
unions and central bodies have found
that an investment in a mimeograph
machine has brought new enthusiasm
and a new standing to the organiza-
ton. Written communications are a
powerful influence in holding the in
terest of group, and interest is
necessary to keep members active.
There rests upon the leadership of
the trade union movement RESPONSE
bility for giving members informa-
ton and facts which will sustain in
telligent interest The union should
keep its members informed not only
of new conditions and problems and
union activity, but of the results of
union activity which prove the value
of the undertakings.
1t would be well if every union
organization would consider how best
to provide for communication within
the organization.

BRITISH LABOR AND REDS

British labor, in annual congress
at Swansea, is fighting the same
fight that American labor has been
fighting since 1917 British labor ap-
peared not only apathetic toward the
reds, but actually, through the labor
party, welcomed them to England.
But that is now past.
In the British Trade Union Con-
gress the slogan has been Keep the
reds off the floor" and their only
point of vantage was the gallery.
Tom Mann, who was feted and prais-
ed by American left wingers and
by many who were not left wingers,
when he visited this country and who
was held up as a great British labor
leader and as an example of what an
American labor leader ought to be,
was banished with the rest to the
galleries.
American labor will wish British
labor well in the fight to clean out
the reds and the dangerous, polluted
red philosophy, if such it can indeed
be called.
Communism and the democracy of
trade unionism will not mix any more
successfully in England than in the
United States.

THE USE OF SLOGANS

Every student of psychology-the
operation of the human mind-knows
how easily human masses of the peo-
pie are swayed by slogans, cat calls
and war whoops.
In every age idealism and emotion
alism have been exploited by self
seekers who would save the people.
They never urge the people to save
themselves.
In the French revolution Liberty,
equality and fraternity" was used by
the rising trading class to sweep the

CANDIDATES MUST TELL

Use of the injunction in labor dis
putes has become one of the major
issues of the political campaign.
Presidential and vice presidential
candidates of the two leading parties
have had their say on the issue. What
they have said has not been entirely
satisfactory to organized labor, but
it has focused attention on the in
junction and put it in the headlines
again.
The truth of the matter is that as
a result of the rank abuse of the
injunctive power and labor's educa-
tional work, the candidates are find
ing it impossible to ignore the issue.
Therein lies labor's opportunity to
put every congressional and state
legislative candidate squarely on rec
ord as to where he stands on the in
junction.
Now that the heads of the tickets
have been forced to declare them
selves, there is no escape for the les
ser candidate They must tell where
they stand, in plain language. If
they dOn't, labor can make it so hot
for them that they will heartily wish
they had never been bitten with any
political ambitions.

LABOR ISSUE VITAL:
AFFECTS ALL NATIONS

New York.-"The labor problem is
the major perplexity before every
people" said Rev. DR.. George Stew
art of the Madison Avenue Presby-
terian church.
''The labor problem is enmeshed in
our whole economic ORDER" said the
clergyman. 1T goes straight to the
center of national life and business
genius. 1t tests to the utmost the eth
ical and religious capacity of any
people.
with all our industrial ability we
have over 100000 unemployed. Eng
land is being weighed in the balance
and it is still an open question wheth-
er she can find work for her 100000
unemployed. China dare not demobil-
ize her armies, for they represent a
vast unemployed population. The la
Dor problem is vital in every nation"

serfs to their side in a struggle for
a voice in government.
When the traders won they discard
ed the ladder they so successfully
used.
The cries, "Let we'll enough alone"
"stand pat" and "the full dinner pail" !"
are more modern illustrations of how
people are used as pawns when they
refuse to think.
The "open" shop, the American"
plan and employees representation"
are further proof-if this were neces-
sary that large numbers of people
can be fooled by an alluring term.
When one of these phrases is dis
credited, new one is coined, while
men ignore the fact that the authors
have fooled them again and again.
Every bitter experience Of the
workers can be traced to their fail
ure to look behind the scenes to dis
sect slogans; to do their own think
ing.
The socialists cry, "Vote yourself a
job" shook the trade union movement
a quarter of a century ago. The /.
w. w. and the One Big Union had
the center of the stage until disil-
lusion restored intellectual sanity.
Now the communists ignore the
realities of life and present their wind
project in new stage dressing.
Back of all this lung work is a
drill sergeant morality that is over
looked by sentimentalists and emo
tionahsts who ignore history and
facts-until they are compelled to.
This element is always attracted
by a repainted Punch and Judy act.
These movements differ from trade
unionism, which rests on the granite
foundation of collective intelligence
and capacity.
This slow, certain development does
not appeal to the theatrically inclined
who call organized workers reaction
airy because they do not clamor-and
evaporate.

The Cherry
" Where with our
90 Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Philadelphia bootleggers deposit
profits of ten million dollars in banks
in a year. That represents a part of
the profit of illicit liquor sales in a
city that is popularity supposed to be
staid, easy-going, slow-moving.
A grand jury finds that the busi-
ness is well organized and that it has
a government of its own, decidedly
dictatorial in character. A czar settles
disputes and metes out punishment,
even unto death.
Of course, being business outside
the law it must organize its own law,
if it is to operate in anything but
chaos
But the same set of facts make for
rival empires, rivals to the thrones of
those empires-a return to the ways
of the days of barons and moated
castles.
As long as the profits are so great
men will dare the law to sell contra
band liquor. AS long as the buyer can
buy in fair safety and live through
the resulting indulgence, the buyer
will buy and the profits will continue
to flow.
A grand jury will take a crack at
the trade, but new empire will rise
upon the prison terms that end fall
en- one-if prison terms there be.
Philadelphia probably is no more
profitable as a liquor market than is
any other city of its size. Consider
what must be the profits in New York
City!
1t may be and may not be that the
business is as thoroughly organized
| in other cities and there may or may
not be the same degree of corruption
Corruption manifestly depends upon
whether corruption is necessary to
whether the officers of the law can
the doing of the business and upon
be corrupted. Strange as 1T may seem,
a set of nicely and securely corrupted
enforcement officers no doubt makes
for stability in the bootlegging bust
ness. Thus are the channels of this
illicit commerce kept open, so that
supplies may flow from source to des-
tination.
One commentator estimates that
the total profits in all cities mounted
up to about $60OOo0,o00 for the year
past, which means only the profits on
final sales 1t does not include profits
