NO FIGHT is HOPELESS

Will select candidates for congress

now being arranged throughout the
country.
Privilege is pleased when men pro-
fess to have mo interest in politics. .
Privilege in these cases, glady
select public officials. Men who pro-
fess such Indifference to popular rule
realize their mistake when they later
plead for remedial legislation.
Let no worker be discouraged by
the supposed strength of an opponent.
Opposition has given the trade union
movement its present standing.
Men don't progress by easy
fights. They win by swinging the
majority to their side.
This can only be done when work
ers will to do-when they have spirit
and courage; when they refuse to be-
lieve they can not win.
No strike was ever lost. No fight is
hopeless.

NEED FOR MAGMA CHARTA

The six hundredth and fifteenth
anniversary of Magma Charta was
celebrated recently in Washington
and elsewhere. Orators told how
King John had been shorn of his
tyrannical prerogatives and declared
that the signing Of the "Great Charta''
had dealt arbitrary power deadly
blow.
Arbitrary power is still on the lob.
however, despite the blow given it by
Magma Charta. 1t is welded nova
days by the injunction Judge, who
makes the law, sentences violators of
it and sends them to prison. The pro-
vision of Magma Charta that no free
man should be imprisoned or proceed
ed against except by the lawful judg-
ment of his peers, means nothing to
the injunction Judge, who is Judge and
jury in one.
America needs a Magma Charta,
one that will strip the injunction
judge of his arbitrary and tyrannical
power, as King John was stripped of
his.

GOVERNMENT BY LAW
WHERE is IT?

In opposing the pending anti
injunction bill, majority Of the SEN
ate judiciary committee said:
There are many situations in
which the even-handed justice of the
courts is preferable to executive at
tempts at law enforcement"
This is true-for the standpoint of
employers who would drive strikers
back to Objectionable work condi-
tions.
But what becomes of government
by law?
Who has empowered equity courts
to enforce law? Why do senators,
pledged to the constitution, applaud
usurpation of power that belongs to

WOULD CURB THE CHURCH

Bludgeoning tactics have always
been a favorite with anti-union en-
ployers, who don't hesitate to try
coercion on those who disagree with
them. An example of this sort of
thing is given by the Employing
Printers Association of America,
which describes itself as the "Amer-
lean plan Independent shop" group in
the printing industry. The organiza-
tion attacks the Federal Council of
Churches in its bulletin, urging busi-
ness men to contribute to their local
churches only in case the latter re-
fuse to support the Federal Council:
Business men identified with Pro-
testant denominations may with ex-
cellent reason make their future
church contributions conditional on
the refusal of further support of the
Federal Council of Churches"
This effort to curb the freedom of
both local churches and the Federal
Council was called forth by dis
cussion of labor injunctions in
monograph issued in March.
The association says that the Fed
eral Council has "again assumed an
unpatriotic attitude by affiliating
with the forces seeking to deprive the
courts of the United States of their
power to protect the property rights
of citizens" This absurd charge is
based on the suggestion in the coun-
cil's monograph that picketing and
strikes for union recognition should
not be enjoined.

FRIDAY, JULY Il, 1880
"ONLY"
100000 UNEMPLOYED!

What can be said of men who
jubilantly declare there are "only"
100000 unemployed in this country?
This estimate is based on the CEN
sus bureaus preliminary figures that
are not all-inclusive. These figures
refer to those seeking work." and
not to seasonal workers or those who
have been laid off
If the maximum unemployed even
totaled 100000, the dependents of
these out-of-works increase the num-
ber several millions.
And this in the richest country in
the world, with its warehouses over
stocked and its bounteous farms pro-
ducing more than can be bought.
"Only" 100000 unemployed!
The tragedies, poverty and want
behind these figures should sting the
conscience of every man and woman.
Instead, men are actually joyful
because they imagine higher unem-
ployed estimates have been contra
dicted.
More than 100000 idle workers
and additional millions of women and
children and dependent aged mean
nothing to timid office holders whose
only interest is to retain power and
place.
Hungry babies may moan and de-
fenseless women may weep, but we
are told that this destitution and
misery could be worse.
Poverty will not accept this answer.
Neither can hunger be satisfied by
prosperity proclamations.
This question has been commission
lied, investigated and probed. The
unemployed are considered a political

football and a means for self-seekers'
publicity.
Promises, predictions and hope is
the program of men whose lack of
vision and courage is equalled by
their hardness in the face of country
wide distress.
Hungry babes and impotent aged
should stir an elemental chivalry that
is supposed to be in all men, but
prophecy and well wishes is the sub
stitute for work and bread.
America can well place among her
classics the statement: only $780,
600 are unemployed"

a total of only about 2,500,00c unem-
ployed in April-well, candidly, we
just. don't believe those figures do rep
resent a count.
If and when it is proven that by
actual, sworn count, that is an accu-
rate figure, we shall eat these words,

yeah?
1t seems that, having found fiber
substitute for cotton, sans boil weevil,
the soviets are planning to push the
crop until, five years hence, suffi-
cient can be dumped into the world
market to demoralize the cotton
growing population of the United
States.
Why not? Also, what is to hinder
like development in wheat? What
story will be told five years hence by
all the tractors built for the soviets
by American plants and the tractors
built in soviet plants erected by
Americans
Soviet Russia has the land, empires
of it. And Soviet Russia has the popu-
lation. Population, plus land, plus
machinery, mean production just to
the extent to which they are Joined
and intelligently directed, even if the
labor is enslaved and debased.

PUBLIC PAYS FOR LOW WAGES

PUBLIC PAYS FOR LOW WAGES
An employer who would depend
upon philanthropists and taxpayers to
repair his broken machines and main
tain his plant and equipment, would
be regarded as very poor business
man. Yet most employers take it for
granted that the workers they turn
off in times of depression will be fed,
clothed, warmed and sheltered some
how, either at private or public ex
pense, until they need them again
when business revives.
Without realizing it, such employ
ers are industrial parasites.-Royal

LARGE EWES PRODUCE LARGE
LAMBS AND MORE WOOL

EMAN-"The size of the ewes,
ard .aeir lamb and wool production
fave very close relationship, as ex-
ptr.aseats carried on by the Montana
Experiment Station show that the
weight Of the lamb and wool crop in
creases with the weight of the ewes"
says Or. W. E, Joseph of the animal
husbandry department at Montana
STATE College.
in discussing this factor OF wool pro-
duction Dr. Joseph gives the actual
figures taken during experiments with
bands Of sheep A band Of ewes which
averaged IS pounds were selected in
the initial trial. The lambs dropped by
these ewes averaged II pounds at mar
ket time and the fleeces produced aver
aged 84 pounds. Using conservative
price IN line with actual market quo
tauons the first part Of December 1929,
the time of the experiments, the value
Of both products totaled $500
Alter these initial figures were Sc
cured attention was directed to bands
OF heavier ewes With each increase
IN weight of ewes, gradual gains were
noted in both the lamb and wool crop
When band Of ewes averaging 14O
pounds were under experiment the
value Of the wool and lamb crop crept
up 10 Sl1.55 showing a clear gain of
S235 per eve over that of the first
band figured at the same price.
This definite truth which shows
there is relationship between the
weight Of ewes and the lamb and wool
production makes it possible for the
sheep owner to increase his production,
Dr. Joseph declares It would be diff
ficult for sheep owner to determine
in large band, but at shearing time
he could easily determine the rela-
tiorship between the weight of the eve
and her fleece. After making this com
parison he could materially increase
his production by selecting for breed
ing stock the larger ewes which pro-
ouced the heaviest fleeces
