this season for the celebration of the
birth of Christ, they added a holy
significance to the day of gift-giving
and merrymaking.
Today Christmas stands for all that
is best in human nature 1t brings
good gifts to the cradle, joy to child
hood, reverence to motherhood, happi-
ness to the home and brotherhood to
all mankind.
Christmas, 1929, offers as its su-
preme gift a fuller realization of the
vision of brotherhood than the world
has ever before seen. The ideal is
far from accomplished. But wise men
have seen the star in the east and
are travelling toward it. There is a
widening of freedom, breaking
down of old barriers, leveling up
of all classes, an increase of average
comfort and a growing tenderness of
the individual These are the gold
and frankincense and myrrh of today.

LABOR AGAIN JUSTIFIED

Advocates of employees stock own
ership are as silent as the proverbial
clam since the recent Wall street col
lapse.
The extent of the crash will not be
told-or even referred to. People for
get and employees stock ownership
will again be trotted out as pana-
cea for industrial disputes.
The American Federation of Lab >r
has repeatedly warned workers of the
danger of investing their savings in
such schemes, but this advice was
overwhelmed by glib-tongued artists
who talked of "depression-proo in
vestments. The crash showed that
such stocks, even though they have
record of dividend payments, drop
ped as hard and as far as "cat-and-
dog" stocks, that have nothing be-
hind them.
Workers should keep in mind that
there is no difference between stock
owned by them and similar stock own
ed by the general public.
There is no dividend guarantee be
hind common or preferred stock, de
spite contrary claims. An employer
may assure workers he will protect
their holdings, but this promise i:
worthless in Niagara of falling
values, such as Wall street just ex
perienced.
1t is against human nature for any
man to throw money into pit who's
bottom is unknown.
