THE ARMY AT THE
NEW YEARS GATES

Happy New Year! Everyone said it
to everyone else. Meanwhile Henry
Ford announced that by March he
would put 10000 men at work, be-
ginning at $5 day.
The next day, although immediate
employment was not promised, some
5000 men were at the gates.
They were followed by an army of
$4,000; and these were followed by
more thousands, gathered daily at the
gates of the Ford plant.
Most of these men bore the unmis-
taxable evidence of the need for
work and wages.
They had not shared in the profits
of Wall street. They hadn't anything
beyond secondhand news of the great
national prosperity shown by the bal.
ance sheets and the charts of tht
year. They were cold, hungry ane
out of work.
Prosperity has been at high level
| More men and women have been a
work than ever before, and they hav,
hapn aarninp higher wages
But throughout the country Their
are thousands who have had no shar
in the good times. There are man,
thousands of these-more thousand
than are revealed by government fig
ures, the business of which is to max
the picture look as nice as possible.
When $4,000 men show UP at on
plant in one day looking for work
there is something almighty rotte
with affairs.
There can be no Happy New Yea
when there is no work and no money

therefore, compel us to battle for the
right of every man to express NM
self without government interference.
But while we stand for free speech
as government policy, that does
not mean that our trade unions should
be thrown open to every one with
message for the workers"
To all such we give the same
answer they would receive from any
other voluntary group of citizens
hire hall.
1t is a plea to the unthinking to
say organized labor denies free
speech because their energy and time
is not placed at the disposal of self
styled educators" who ignore oul
unions obiectives and who demand
that they be heard.

A GOOD RESOLUTION

Organized labor begins 1929 with
the good resolution to double its
membership during the next twelve
months. If this resolution is kept
only in part and substantial gains are
made, 1929 will go down as one of
the best years in trade union history.
That an Increased membership is
highly desirable is admitted by every
thinking trade unionist. With the
machine looming as an even greater
menace than in 1923, the need for
trade unionism is especially urgent.
If the machine workers are organized
in bona fide trade unions, they can
protect themselves and help to main
tain American wage standards. But
if they remain unorganized or are
fooled or coerced into joining "com-
pany unions," their future will grow
darker with every month and year.
BY determining to make good on
the resolution to double trade union
membership in 1929, labor can take
a tremendous step forward.

FRIDAY, JANUARY II, 1929
WHAT is FREE SPEECH?

Trade unions have a specific pur-
pose - to organize wage workers,
raise living standards and correct
social wrongs.
We claim the right-as do other
citizens who are grouped in voluntary
associations-to adopt such lawful
policies as will advance our cause.
Our trade unions are not a shelter
for advocates of the millennium, of
fiabby liberalism or diluted autocracy
If these have a message for the
workers" let them speak. But they
can not enter our unions and divert
them from their purpose
We believe in free speech. We de-
clare that any denial of this funda-
mental guarantee will eventually be
extended to other citizens. This is
the historic result of failure to pro-
test against wrong.
Principle and self-preservation

HOW CIVILIZED ARE WE.

Events as the old year ended and
the new began raise the old ques-
ton, how civilized is the United
States? Some would even say that
the events raise the question, is the
United States civilized at all?
In the closing hours of 1928, Michi-
gan courts were sentencing women to
life Imprisonment for selling liquor
and a Mississippi mob of men made
temperorarily worse than savages by
anger at an atrocious crime, were
trampling on the law and burning to
death a negro, denied an opportunity
to appear before the white mans bar
Of justice. In Chicago, the 1929 crop
of "pineapples" had begun to pop, and
all over the land gunmen and thugs
were busy at their trade.
Meanwhile, officers were engaged
in arresting men and women for the
heinous Grimes" of taking a drink
of intoxicating liquor at New Years
celebrations and for driving automo
biles with 1928 tags five minutes after
a.. -
Again, how civilized is the United
States? Is the United States civil
lied at all?

TALK WITHOUT THOUGHT

A group of world saviors in New
York city had a joint debate on the
immediate formation of new pro-
gressive, political party"
A political party along the lines of
the La Toilette movement of 1924
was urged, while another speaker ex-
alted the "class consciousness" of the
British labor party.
If the debaters knew the different
backgrounds of American and British
workers they would be equipped to
discuss this question.

SAFEGUARDING THE FUTURE

Workers, more than others, need to
safeguard the future Reports of the
United States department of com
merce and of the Association of Life
Insurance Presidents indicate that
during 1929 the amount of life insur-
ance in force in the United States
will pass the 100000, ,OOO,O mark
truly an enormous sum.
The figures show that a good part
of present prosperity is being used
to safeguard the future. 1t is being
laid away.
But withal, what the figures do
not show is the amazing fact that
wage earners are less adequately pro-
tected by life insurance than are
many others, in relation to earning
capacity. For example, school teach
ers carry more life insurance, in pro-
portion to earnings, than do skilled
wage earners.
Why is it that wage earners find
it so difficult to learn the lesson of
protection through life insurance?
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1929-01-11

Because they are not, they believe
in salvationzby proxy-that political
party can be formed by select
group Of self-constituted leaders"
mapping out program and resolving.
Little attention need be given men
who base their political party hopes
on the La Toilette movement of 1924.
This movement had none of the
characteristics of a political party.
One man announced his candidacy for
president on a platform he himself
prepared. Trade unionists, in line
with their historic policy, supported
this individual.
That movement can not be COM
pared with political party that
elects delegates to convention, pre-
pares a platform and nominates can
didates.
Who said sloppy thinking is the
bane of our country?

CHAIN STORE
System Being Applied On
Illinois Farm

Chicago. - Banks and insurance
companies that own mortgaged farms
are applying the mass prodution sys-
tenn on this land.
The "chain farm" scheme is used
on 32 farms totaling $500 acres in
this state. Each farm is operated by
a tenant under the direction of a
general superintendent.
1t was found that where an aver
age farm in the district formerly pro-
duced 40 bushels of corn to the acre
at cost of $26, "chain farm" methods
resulted in 20 bushels at a cost of
$29.
The scheme will result in greater
output but it will make tenants OF
farmers, who will work under the
system now applied in steel mills and
retail "chain stores"
The Chicago Tribune declares that
the 'chain farm" is certainty, but
unless it is operated by farmers them
selves the system will prove socially
unwholesome."
"We will sooner or later have to
face and answer the question whether
the small independent farmer is the
size of productive unit and the form
of productive organization best adapt
ed to the new conditions of agricul
ture," said Virgil Jordan, chief econ
omist of the National Industrial Con
ference Board representing score
of employers organizations.

BEGGING

Minneapolis is large
volume of organized begging to sup
posedly care for the jobless in this

size in the country" declared William
J. McSorley, president Building
Trades Department, A. F. of L.
Mr. McSorley said this condition is
traceable to anti-unionism, misnamed
american" plan and the "open"
shop.
Where anti-union conditions pre-
vail, low wages, less consuming power
and proverty is the rule" said Mr..
McSorley. "Organized begging to
relieve consequent suffering is no
remedy. Business men should insist
that industry pay living wage, rath-
err than contribute for the benefit of
employers who pay below that
standard"

LEFT WING UNIONISTS
UNITE

New York.-Left wing unions in
the fur-making and cloak industry
have united. The movement is avow-
edly communistic and was launched
with the usual hurrah against the
regular trade union movement. The
organization is called the Amalga-
mated Union of Cloak, Dressmakers
and Furriers. It's hackers picture the
same glorious future that has marked
the launching of countless similar
ventures.
Employers who face an expiring
contract with the regular Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers
Union smile at this division of the
workers.

The Cherry
/" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly. :.

A representative of the department
of state, testifying before United
States senate committee, said that
state department documents should
be published, in so far as not injurious
to the public interest, so that students
and the public in general might be
better informed as to international
relations.
He is right. Documents should be
published. Facts should be made
known. But such inspired bits of
propaganda as the we'll remembered
confidential outburst about the MEX
lean fostered bolshevist hegemony of
Central America" does not come in
that classification.
The state department is full of
documents that never see the light of
day. 1t is full of facts carefully
guarded by minor dignitaries, who in
too many cases are the semi -moronic
sons of the rich who know how to
wear morning clothes and think all
trade unionists are anarchists.
The state department is full of
brains, ignorance, wisdom, stupidity,
Fdecency and indecency, enlightenment
and moss covered tradition. Light
would be splendid thing, and if all
documents were published lot OF
documents would never be written.

Nobody knows quite why this diplo-
matte gentleman was allowed to 60
to a senate committee and unload
such an unprecedented recommended
ton.
There have been and are men in the
diplomatic service who believe in de-
mocracy as faithfully as Abraham
Lincoln believed in it, but they are
not often heard speaking publicly
about it.
One of the first lessons budding
diplomat learns is to hold his tongue
when he has anything serious to say
and to use words that reach the sub
ject by circumlocution-if at all.
This recent testimony is refreshing.
Let there be more of it.
Let there be light, if, as and when
we can get it.
Publicity, for one thing, would keep
lot of dolts off the pay roll.

The state department gentleman
who testified had in mind publica-
ton policy controlled by the depart
ment. That would be better than
nothing, but still full of weakness.
for the department would still pro-
tect it's secrets and would still regard
as secret anything discreditable. But
q start would be a start.
One of the strangest things of all
history is the manner in which the
public abdicates and allows political
office holders to manage its business
and keep the public's own secrets
away from it.
Governments usually know long in
advance when the kettles of war are
beginning to simmer. If the public
knew as long in advance the public
might find way to prevent the boil
ing of the kettle. The public might
Just laugh the whole mess out of
court before it assumed dangerous
proportions.

there need be no fear of it's coming in

And it is accurate information. Most

There are documents about Latin

are documents that would look foolish
in print, and documents that would
