LOCAL RESPONSE
BILITY

One of the measuring rods which
organized labor must constantly ap-
ply is that of growth and strength.
So long as there are unorganized
workers in its jurisdiction the union
has a problem in increasing its mem
bership. The responsibility for this
work rests primarily upon the off
GERS and membership of that union.
1t is a mistake to expect any central
organization to carry on the local
work No organization has sufficient
staff, and even if it had it would be
a distinct loss through depriving To-
Gals of opportunity for growth. In
stead of writing to a central office to
send someone to do this work, the
union should find out what is to be
done and what resources it has to
meet the problem. Any central off
Ger is only too glad to supplement
local initiative by sending someone
to counsel and by supplying organ
izing and educational literature.
With the help of suggestions and
information, the local union can usu-
ally deal with its own problems. One
thing both central and local officials
should have constantly in mind-to
be on watch for manifestations of
ability in all members, so that the
union may help develop such ability
and have its additional service for
the promotion of the cause of labor.
There is an old adage that ex-
presses very large element of truth:
If you want thing well done, do it
yourself. The local labor movement
must be primarily responsible for To-
cal organizing work. Inspiration,
counsel and aid may come from out
side sources, but the main burden
rests upon the local group.

The experience of southern textile
workers is the experience of every in
dustrialized section
Deportation of two trade union of
ficials from Elizabethton is another
phase of the historic opposition to
organized labor.
Northern anti-union employers, as
a rule, abandoned this outlawry and
have substituted opiates known as the
company union" and shop represen-
tation.
These permit the employer to tell
his "hands" they are getting some
thing without effort-a claim that is
contrary to human experience.
The company union" is supported
by the "yellow dog" and the labor
injunction-two powers which will be
removed as organized labor exposes
the injustice of the government aid
ing employers.
The company union" is polite
form of thuggery. 1t is deceptive.
1t takes no part in the social and
economic life of the nation. 1t is
silent against wrong. 1t drugs work
ers, as did the so-called open shop
and the American plan"
These systems have the same back
ground control of the workers and
a denial of their right to act col
lectively.
The anti-union employer yields just
in proportion to the determination of
workers to unite and have voice in
working conditions.

eral Rosencrans was in command at

soldiers who were printers to take the
strikers places. The union printers
sent in report of the condition of

answer returned was as follows:
Order those soldiers back to duty

PENMAENMAWR Wales, May az
Other Liberal leaders may be at loss
as to what should be done with Win
ston Churchill, chancellor Of the
exchequer, in the event of a Liberal
victory, but David Lloyd George, party
leader, has his mind made up.
In a speech in his own division of
Carnavon last night the former premier
sketched a picture of poor old woman
trundling a perambulator along road
without any footpath, in constant dan
ger.
II will tell you what would like to
do with Mr.. Chuchill." he added with
dramatic gesture. II would condemn
him for a whole month to push per-
ambulator along q road without any
footpaths."
The idea of the versatile chancellor
pushing a perambulator so delighted
the audience, of both Welsh and Eng
lish, that minutes elapsed before Lloyd
George could restore quiet. His speech
was begun in Welsh. but an English
woman present requested him to speak
in English and he continued as she
wished.
