British Elections and Disarmament

Socialist labor party has become as the result of
Thursdays election the dominant political power in
Great Britain This no huke such as the last cleo
ton which seated the Tories largely on the strength
Of a forged Russian document used against labor To
win its new plurality labor practically has doubled

Whether the labor CHIEF. Ramsay Mcdonald,
heads the government. or steps aside for few
months in favor of a temporary government of Con-
Conservative or Liberals or both labor will be a ma
jor force in domestic and foreign policies
This is all to the good so far as the United States
and world peace are concerned
While the British we're rolling up tremendous
labor vote. President Hoover at Arlington was max
ing his Memorial day appeal for naval reduction.
Similar pleas have been made by Washington for the
last three years, but have come to naught.
Labor is committed to a cruiser parity and reduc
ton policy to achieve friendly agreement with the
United States. Labor is pledged to meet the United
States half way on the traditional and basic dispute
over freedom Of the seas.
It would be unjust 10 abSove the Coolidge admin
stration completely and place all blame for the pres

election unquestonably would have delayed and per-

to President Hoover to drive forward his plan to
put peace into the Kellogg pact with a naval reduc-
ton treaty

Flowers Can Speak

FLOWERS do talk, and some folks
4 contend they have souls. We
know they smile upon us and they
give us messages of hope and cour-
age often more inspiring than mere
words. The violet whispers love and
modesty; the honeysuckle under
your window will murmur a morning
story of mystery if you listen with
a heart in tune to nature; the rose
speaks Of royalty and of aspiration;
the dahlia of delights to come; the
sunfloWer lifts its head proudly to
the sun and talks brazenly to high
heaven; the forget-me-n tells its
own story with its name; the rose
mary also calls for remembrance; the
orange blossom tells the maiden of
marriage; the amaranth speaks of
Immortality; the lily gives a thought
Of purity; the asphodel tells of
death, but at the same time breatfles
hope of better world.
This world of ours would be a
dreary place indeed without flow
ers. They are bits of the stars
that shine on earth and bring us a
little closer to heaven. To cult
vate them should be 8. Joy forever;
to live with them is to walk with
fairies and angles. Some poet has
said they are Gods thoughts of
beauty taking form to gladden. NOR

The Textile Strike Settlement

Strikers are going back to work in the great rayon
mills al Elizabethton, Tenn. one by one. under the
new set-up acceptance of which ended the strike.
The new set-ur has as its basis the establishment
OF modern employment and personnel department,
essential in operating large industries. The theory
of the enlightened personnel director is that
ployesm are an asset and that the company should
be at least as DESTROYS of keeping them the
ployes are to keep their Jobs.
He relieves the enlploye of the tyranny and petty
politics Of the foremen which. at Elizabethton in
other plants. had caused dissatisfaction.
There is another important gain for labor in the
settlement. It is promised that the new personnel
director E T Wilson who comes from the Horst
mann mills at Passaic. N. J., will not discriminate
against employees because Of their membership or
activity in the union
This was the sole issue in the second strike
slight wage increase an earnest of more, having
been given in the settlement Of the first strike. This
promise Of no discrimination is accepted in good faith
by William Kelly. president of the United Textile
Workers Of America who knows Wilson by reputation
And what does the strike and its settlement mean
In the large problem of bringing up the wage stand
ard in the south to that of the north and east?
The south has begun to learn that it no longer
safely can offer to new industries the promise of
cheap and docie labor. Southern labor. even that
which Just has come from the hillside, wants the
things so plentifully supplied by machine system
Just as does labor in the north and east. 1t is for
tunate for the future Of American prosperity that this
is true
The south has begun to learn that strike is not
always caused by the spontaneous discomfort of the
workers for that the in the first Elizabeth
ton strike It also is learning TO its surprise that
these "union agtators' may be useful in stabizing
labor conditions. for it only after two hours of

ADAMS, THE DIPLOMAT
June /

ON June, /, 1885, just IA years
" ago today, John Adams,
Americas first ambassador to Great
Britain, was presented formally to
King George ".
The ambassador came as q re-
ward for the diplomatic negotia-
tons Adams had carried on in
Holland. AS a result of them, Hol-
land recognized the independence of
the United States and extended a
much-needed loan to the new re-
public.
Because of the unfriendly rela-
tionship between Great Britain and
America, Adams found his diplo-
matio post irkSome and he sent
several urgent requests that he be
removed.
Three years after his appoint
ment his request was granted and
in 1888 he returned to America. His
career in England made him a
synpathizer with that country's
views on American matters to the
extent that after his return he
uuarreled with his friends of France,
led by Thomas jefferson.
His views had great effect upon
early American politics He lent
his popular strength to the FEEDER
alists. the party of which Alexander
Hamilton was the founder, and
against the party Of Jefferson.

Victory for Labor

z VEN if it fails to get a majority
II in parliament. as now seems
likely, the British Labor party has
won smashing triumph.
This triumph is more than po-
litical turnover.
The British Labor party has be-
come the voice of q great, con-
structive movement. 1t is not an
aggregation of working men fight
ing merely for better wages and
shorter hours, as some Americans
seem to think.
The British Labor party stands
for policies which go deep into the
social and economic structure Of
England, and which challenge the
respect and enthusiasm Of many
scholars.

Rescue the Schools


Equal in Importance to the defense Of the
Integrity Of the city manager law and the cleo
tion of commissioners who believe in the law is
the necessity of rescuing the schools from stu
pidity, incompetence and boss control
Every meeting Of the present board presents
new evidence Of shameful conditions
The members quarrel and bicker. Behind
the quarrels and the pickering is something
more sinister.
For two or more years there was more than
a suspicion that the board was under the con
troll Of c. G. Shipp. whose ventllators had
greater consideration than the education Of
Children
His power over the majority seeped to be
sbsolute And his exercise of that power was
not such as TO commend itself to those who wish
70 see the high standards of education main
sained or increased.
Now the majority seems 10 be under The
dictatorship OF George Coffin, the political
car whose dynasty is drawing to close.
Coffin Is fighting desperately and using all
tools al his command
He has lost much of his power. With the
retirement of jackson, he no longer rules the
statehouse. He no longer has the pardon
power, the privilege distribution. the patronage
which goes with the Governor Office.
Il is true that he still has influence with
some other state officials and can get favors.
But boss to he a boss must be absolute. The
gang which has followed him. IS beginning to
waver because of signs Of his weakness.
In elections the people have repudiated
Coffin whenever given half chance. He de
ponds on something besides the votes of decent
people He needs the school system as a
political asset and he seems to have supplanted
Shipp in its direct control
it is true that the henchmen of Coffin are
still able to Islander with impunity the highest
court of the state by scattering rJJmors that it
will decide that the city manager law is uncon-
stitutional There is no suit testing the law
before the court. The whispers are, of course,
pure SANDER because no Judge would dare to
tell Coffin or any one else how he would decide
case not yet brought That is unthinkable.
So Coffin ccntcrs his attention upon the
school system and viii try to get his bench
men and servants upon he board.
The public schools are too important to be
left in the hands of a gang boss whose chief
spokesman is the attorney for every Chicago
gangster who happens to fall foul of the law
in this city.
There should be an organization of parents
in every block to defend the schools
There should be ticket above suspicion
of Coffnsm or Ship influence. There should
be ticket composed of men and women whose
intelligence test would at least he on a par
with the children of the eighth grade.
That is not too much to ask. 1t is more than
Will be had unless there is an immediate and
city-wde movement to rescue the schools for
the children. They should not be left to the
mercies of boss who uses the educational syS-
tenn to perpetuate his waning power.
