CHAMBER DRIVE
FOR MEMBERS IS
MEETING SUCCESS

Results of the FL Centre Chamber
Of Commerce membership drive are
entirely satisfactory, according to
Earl Jones, chairman Of the mem
b4rship committee Of that organiza.
ton. Although all reports have not
yet been made and number Of
business men are still calling on
prospective members, 40 new rem
bcrs have already been added and
it is believed that before the drive
is ended the number Of new mem
bers will be close to -, making
tie entire membership of the cham
bcr about 400 persons, which num-
Ter, according to a survey Of the
Il Centre chamber is unusually
large for 4 city OF this size.
"Every individual business in 4
community is not merely Il neigh
bor," said Earl Jones today, "but
is u partner with every other bust
ness. This partnership is expressed
IN the chamber of commerce ana the
splendid response TO the present
drive, together with the receptive
attitude Of the prospective mem
bers called upon, indicates that the
business men of FL Centro appreci-
ste this community partnership and
the value OF cooperative activity,
as carried out by the chamber"
Those soliciting new members
state that it has not been neces-
sary to "sell' the prospects on the
chamber Of commerce and value Of
4 membership in that body, as the
majority Of those visited were we'll
Der has been doing toward making
Il Centre a better place in which
to live and they realized that the
greater the percentage Of business
men belonging to the chamber, the
more efficient would be the carry
:ng out of the community projects
"hich the chamber is working.
Jones states that number of
membership applications We're re-
ceived without a personal call; but
IN response to the series of letters
sent out to prospects by prominent
business men of Fl Centre, urging
Individuals and firms to join the
chamber and give their support to
that organization which is 50 neces-
sary to the welfare and growth of
the city.

ly been established for the hiring of
new men which is between forty and
forty-fve years. Old men may not
be able to keep up with the gang and
the belt conveyors. Older men may
not have the quick muscular residence
of younger men. Men must be capable
of keeping up with the highest speed
at which machines can operate.
Not only is there something most
inhuman and unsocial in the results
which follow any such policy relative
to employment, but there is also some
thing which is thoroughly unscien-
tific. To eliminate all waste in mater
ials; to save every particle of metal,
wood, cloth, chemicals, and other ma
terials which were formerly waste and
turn them to practical service while
at the same time throwing away the
productive capacity of hundreds of
thousands of middle aged Workmen, is
the very antithesis of scientific meth
ods in industry. In many respects the
middle aged semi-skilled and skilled
workman is more valuable at middle
age than at any other period of his
life. What may have been lost in
muscular resiliency has been more
than made up by acquired knowledge
and skill.
The scientifically trained minds who
have done so much to eliminate waste
in industry cannot escape their re-
sponsibility if they fail to call atten-
ton to the greater waste of all which
is taking place-the elimination of the
middle aged workmen.
If industry, to function efficiently,
must eliminate workmen when they
have reached middle gae, then indus
try will be unable to escape the de-
mand which will be made upon it to
help solve the problem of what will be
done with the middle-aged workman
who, because of his age, is unable to
secure employment.
In some savage countries we are
told that when members of the tribe
become too old to hunt, their relatives
send them on their way to Paradise,
but this method will not be permitted
to operate in civilized countries. In
dustries which began by emptying
orphan asylums so that children would
have an opportunity of earning an
"honest" living are now seemingly
of the opinion that middle-aged men
must be eliminated they must be
forced to retire upon the fortunes
they have saved while employed by
our prosperous American industries.

LAWS And INJUNC-
TIONS

If you, being person of means,
should decide to violate law, you
would be treasured by the knowledge
that, when caught, you could deny
the validity of the law. II did it be-
cause that isn't good law; it isn't
constitutional" you would say.
Then your lawyers would be free to
fight the validity of that law a long
time before-if ever-you were COM
PEELED to face the court on the ques
ton of the violation itself
The court wouldn't say to you:
"You knew that is the law, didn't
you? You violated it, didn't you? All
right, you go to Jail. If you think it's
a bad law, you can argue that point
after you get to jail"
The court wouldn't be that rough
if it were only law that you vio-
lated.
But just you try to violate court
injunction! That's something else.
The court makes injunctions itself
and you can't monkey with them.

Waste in industry has received
much consideration since production
engineers entered the industrial field.
AS result of the work they accomp-
lished, which was assisted by the en-
tire group of engineers, including the
chemical and hydraulic, much waste
material has been saved. Many mil
lions of dollars have been recovered
from what was formerly waste ma
terial. Valuable articles are now being
produced from material which few
years ago was refuse. Valuable BIZ
products are secured from material
which a few years ago was an expense
for the labor required hauling it ito
the dumps.

employer an injunction that ties the
hands of labor organization COM
pletely. The injunction may contain
such outrageous restrictions of a
mans natural rights that a higher
court is certain IN due time to declare
it invalid.
But it will be weeks or months or
years before the final court passes on
the question. In the meantime,
bound by an actually invalid injunc-
ton, the workers are helpless. Or,
openly refusing to submit to the in
valid injunction, the workers are in
jail.-Indianapolis Times.

when talking to the court. But the
idea is there. That one may not dis
obey an injunction and then question
its validity was a recent ruling of
the United States supreme court.
For moment that sounds reason
able enough. Perhaps, indeed, it is
reasonable, though it certainly diff
fers from the procedure in cases of
law violations.
But this distinction is at the very
root of organized labor's effort to
eliminate the use of injunctions in
labor disputes.

SLOW TO GRASP IT

Labor applied to land produces
wealth. Adam Smith said it and it
has never been gainsaid. That part
of wealth which is employed in the
production of more wealth is capital.
There is whole philosophy in these
few words. And the funny thing is
that there isn't one man in a thou
sand who has grasped it.
