tai department, the court pointed out,

definition of tyranny" to use Madi-
sons language, or, in the words of
Jefferson, "is precisely the definition
of despotic government"
The supreme courts position is
identical to organized labor's position
on the labor injunction.
When an equity judge issues la
Dor injunction he usurps government
by law. He steps into the lawmaking
and executive fields.
When this fact is understood by the
people, equity courts will be stripped
of their power to wander into other
fields of government.
The people will eventually realize
that the labor injunction does more
than break strikes. 1t undermines oul
theory of government.

BUSINESS, NOW CONSULT
LABOR,

Business is doing a lot of talking
these days.
Business is talking about how it
can recover.
Business is thinking out plans to
''take the kinks out" of business.
Business thinks mainly of business.
Business got into jam that threw
more than six million men and women
out of work and most of them are
still out of work.
Business had better give up the
idiotic notion that it is the only in
terested factor, and it had better give
up the notion that it can fix things
by itself.
Business may fix things somewhat
satisfactorily FOR ITSELF, but it
can never by itself fix things for
ALL OF US.
Business has sought to assume
more responsibility than it can carry
and more than it has any right to
claim.
Business can take a look at those
more than SIX MILLION IDLE and
take unto itself some humility and
get into itself some sense.
Business has got to understand that
LABOR belongs in the picture.
Business had better consult LABOR
now and forever hereafter, for we
shall never have proper and work
able industrial machine until LABOR
is recognized as MAJOR PARTNER
in the job of keeping that machine ir
running order for the good Of hu.
manity.

A WAY BACK CARPENTERS

Here is something that ought to

the Cincinnati Enquirer had the fol-
lowing item:
'The Carpenters Union voted to
call strike for $3.50 a day instead
of $1.75 and 81, the present wages. "
In those days, so years ago, the
workday was no less than 10 hours.
and we are not so sure but what it
was IL, and for this long day the
workers were asking $3.50.
Wednesday of this week the En-
quirer in the same column had the
following:
Building contractors of Cincinnati
got together to act on the demands
of the striking journeymen carpen-
ters. They offered 1925 a day for

JOBLESS PAY

Princeton, N. J.-England's unem-
ployment insurance system was never
intended to cope with business de-
preston such a mark that country,
we'll as other sections of the world,
said Rev. T. A. e. Davey, canon of
Liverpool cathedral who is visiting
Princeton University.
Canon Davey said he favored un-
employment insurance measures as a
matter of sound economics, but
pointed out that the depression has
made an unusual condition, which
shows up badly for the insurance sys-
tenn.
On the other hand, he said, what
else England could have done is not
clear.

JOBLESS NOT BENEFITED

Lower living costs are hailed in
some quarters as great gain for
the workers. 1t is true that the re-
duction helps those who have jobs,
especially those whose wages have
not been reduced, but it must not be
forgotten that lower living costs are
not of any great benefit to the man
who has no job. Lower living costs
help, but as the Labor Bureau, lnc.,
remarks, they are not sufficient to
palliate the misery resulting from the
present depression.

way Chief Tells College.
Students

Philadelphia. - A system under
which it is possible for six millions
of willing and able bodied men to be
out of work for months at time
and with no other source of income
than their toll, can be said to have
failed in at least one very important
detail, says Daniel Willard, president
of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Il can think of nothing more de-
plorable than the condition of man,
able and anxious to work, but unable
to secure work, with no resources but
his labor, and perhaps with others
even more helpless dependent upon
him.
"Unless he is willing to starve and
see those who justly look to him for
support also starve his only alterna-
tive is to seek charity, and, failing in
that, to steal. While / do not like to
say so, would be less than candid if
| did not say that in such circum-
stances / would steal before would
starve."
Mr.. Willard spoke at the observ-
| ance of the fiftieth anniversary OF
the founding of the Wharton School
of Finance and Commerce as a part OF
the University of Pennsylvania He
urged the students to help find the
solutions to the problems of unem-
, ployment and the distribution of re-
sources that bring into question, he
said, the very foundations of the cap
italistic system the founder of tht
Wharton School believed in and de.
sired to perpetuate.
/ Mr. Willard said that, with all its
defects, "and doubtless there are
many" the capitalistic system affords
in his opinion "a better and faire1
basis upon which to build an eco
| nomic structure than any other sys
tenn so far devised and tested BY
man."

CENTRAL BODIES
in LABEL DRIVE

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Keen
interest is being shown in the nation
wide campaign during April for the
union label, shop card and button and
the union label trades department of
the American Federation of Labor is
kept busy responding to requests for
union label literature and informa-
tion on the drive. From present in
dications, the campaign will be the
most successful ever carried on un-
der the direction of the union label
trades department.
Central labor unions in every sec
tion of the nation are manifesting
great enthusiasm for the label cam
paign and a long list has already
| made arrangements to cooperate.
Secretary Treasurer John j. Man
ming, of the union label trades de-
partment, urges that all central bod
les take part in the campaign. He
points out that all affiliated local
unions will be greatly benefited by it.

SMUCCLED SEAMEN
TO BE DEPORTED

Washington.-Dep of aliens
smuggled into this country as "sea-
men" is ordered by the department
of labor
The United States supreme court
has aided this movement by it's re-
cent decision that an alien who has
unlawfully been in this country for
three years can be deported.
The aliens ship in foreign ports and
pay from 5000 to $400. They pose
as "seamen," and when the vessel
docks at an American port they step
ashore and disappear in the large
cities.
The King bill, passed three times
by the senate, would correct this con-
dition by having all seamen examined
by government officials before the
ship is docked. Fake seamen would
be held and shipped to their home
port at the expense of the vessel that
brought them. Vessel owners oppose
the King bill, which failed to be voted
on in the house in the closing hours
of the last congress.
The department of labor is aware
of the futility of attempting to stop
this influx of aliens until legislation
along lines of the King bill is passed.
Under present conditions the gov
ernment deports the aliens-when
they are finally discovered after much
expense. Under the King bill the
aliens would easily be discovered and
shipowners would pay for deportation.

HOW TO DEVELOP HOME
MARKETS

The United States must develop
home markets, is the recommendation
of Dean Wallace Brett Donham, OF
Harvard Graduate School of Busi-
ness Administration, in his book
Business Affairs" just published.
The author predicts destruction OF
the American capitalist system unless
this action is quickly taken.
Dean Donham opposes seeking for
eign markets. If America is victor
ious in an economic war, he said
England and Germany would be ruin
ed, as their economy is based on for
eign trade. A struggle for world
markets, he said, would be the be-
ginning of the fall of Western civil
ization.
Trade unionists have repeatedly
pointed that with higher wages
Americas home markets can be de-
veloped to unlimited possibilities.
Certain groups of employers, stat.
isticians and economists watch food
prices and defend lower wages when
the price of eggs or bananas drop
cents dozen. Home markets cannot
be developed under this system.
The bread basket theory of wages
has no place in a scheme such as is
suggested by Dean Donham and long
demanded by organized labor.

FORD, MOTOR KING,
USES FOREIGN SHIPS

Washington. - The Ford Motor
Company. owned by Henry Ford, is
using foreign ships in competition
with American vessels, according to
charges filed with the United States
Shipping Board.
Ford is also soliciting general
cargo freight to European ports and
his policy threatens the stability of
the rate structure maintained by
American ships.
Shipping board officials say they
cannot compel Ford to desist from
patronizing foreign ships, but he
might be requested" not to carry
general cargo on his chartered ships
that fly foreign flags.

THE COMMUNITY CHEST

Great preparations and much or
ganizing of divisions for carrying on
the battle is being made by the COM
mittee in charge of the annual Hamil-
ton Community Chest drive which be-
gins next Friday, April II, and
closes the following Friday, April "a
1t is going to be a big job and re-
quires the united effort of everyone
to put it over" this year for sew
eral reasons. They are: More money
is needed for relief and health agen-
cies, and there will be fewer people
to collect from because so many are
unemployed right now.
But the sum total of the goal must
be collected. The allotments to the
various agencies as fixed by the bud
get committee have been whitfield to
the bone, and are absolutely neces-
sary if the work of the agencies are
to continue-and we are all agreed
that this work must go on.
Many just simply can't give, in
fact they are in need; but there are
many whom the depression does not
affect other than to the good for the
reason that while their regular in
come is not interfered with, they are
benefited by lower living costs-the
result of depression. Those so sit
uated ought to increase their SUBJ
scriptions this year as much as pos
sible, and be glad and thankful that
they can do so. If you are one of
these get yourself set to meet the
solicitor and give 'em the glad hand
and-don't stop to argue and tell 'em
how ''the thing should be rum" They
are too busy and their time is too
short to listen, and that's "old stuff"
anyway.
