Certain men who had a lucrative
business in bootlegging and allied work
are now in county, state and federal
prisons or reformatories as a result
of the roundup in Rowan and adjoin-

after effective under-cover work by
an agent of the government several
months ago.

DEMOCRACY IN INDUSTRY
Two codes of rules and regulations
affect the workers.; the law upon the
statute books, and the rules within
industry.
The first determines their relation
ship as citizens to all other citizens and
to. property.
The second largely determines the
relationship of employer and employe,
the terms of employment, the condi-
lions of labor, and the rules and
regulations affecting the workers as
employees.
The first is secured through the
application of the methods Of demo-
cracy in the enactment of legislation,
and is based upon the principle that
the laws which govern a free people
should exist only with their consent.
The second, except where effective
trade unionism exists, is established
by the arbitrary or autocratic whim,
desire or opinion of the employer and
is based upon the principle that in
dustry and can not be sue
cessfully conducted unless the m
ployer exercises the unquestioned
right to establish such rules, regulations
and provisions affecting the employees
as self-interest prompts.
Both, forms of law vitality affect
the workers opportunities in life and
determine their standard of living.
The rules, regulations and conditions
within industry in many instances
affect them more than legislative en-
actments. 1t is, therefore, essential
that the workers should have a voice
in determining the laws within in
dustry and which affect
them, equivalent to the voice which
they have as citizens in determining
the legislative enactments which shall
govern them.
1t is as i~nconceivable hat the work.
ers as free citizens should remain un-
der automatically made law within
industry and commerce as it is that
the nation could remain a democracy
while certain individuals o groups
exercise autocratic powers.
1t is, therefore essential that the
workers everywhere should insist upon
their right to organize into trade
unions, and that effective legislation
should be enacted which would make
it a criminal ofense for any employer
to interfere with or hamper the exercise
of this right or to interfere with the
legitimate activities Of trade unions.
A. F. OF L. POLICY BEST
In striking contrast to the usual
procedure applied in the settlement
of labor difficulties in the textile in
dustry, a tentative peaceful ADJUST
ment of differences between the
workers and the Klumac Mill Manage
ment has been reached. There were
three important factors in bringing
this outstanding progressive 4ettle-
ment about; first the workers them
selves who after displaying the highest
kind of moral courage by resisting
wage reductions proved their lnteil-
gence and conservative attitude by
seeking advice from local labor leaders
and on this advice attempt to meet
their employer to discuss their pro-
blems. Second, the management OF
this mill also deserves credit tor
most progressive attitude and if other
industries would follow such a move
many of our difficulties would be set
tied without trouble.
The third factor in this settlement
is also important. That is the group
