because this interest is fixed

because this interest is a fixed
charge.
Interest on common stock is not a
fixed charge, but depends upon profits
and moods of boards of directors who
may defer such interest
Workers should be alert to this
change when they are urged to buy
common stock. These workers do not
realize that common stock ownership
is a speculation and often a gamble
that should only be indulged in by
those who can afford losses.
Despite high-powered press agents
and sentimentalists who talk of
partnership between capital and la
bor," it is unwise for workers to in
vest portion of their daily wage in
common stock.
The employer is willing that the
worker buy such stock. 1t ties the
worker to his job and it opens deep
reservoir of capital for the employer,
who encourages wages being ploughed
back in the plant, without any guar
antee of return.

Washington.-The senate failed to

positions are life jobs. The senate
also refused to confirm former Gov

Neff was opposed by railroad shop

Opposition to Cassie was based or

LABOR is CONSERVATIVE

Organized labor has experienced it's
ebbs and flows, it has risen and fallen
with the tide of industrial activity.
This is indication of weakness that
calls for correction.
1t never has been the claim of its
proponents that organized labor has
a perfect form and method which will
meet the ever-changing situation it
must confront. New structure and
new tactics must be adopted if sue
cess is expected.
Critics delight in calling attention
to the failures of organized labor and
condemning it for its shortcomings
Because victory has not crowned all
the undertakings of the labor move
ment it should be discarded according
to the logic of it's opponents.
Organized labor has made progress
sive changes in its form and methods
to meet the changing situations, and
must continue to adopt itself to the
necessities of the situation which
arises with development of industry
1t is true the program followed has
been conservative, and often has fal
len short of the requirements, ant
failure has marked many of labor!
struggles, but its principles are sount
and endearing, and will eventual,
succeed.
