NEWTON BAKER, OPEN SHOPPER.

Newton D. Baker of Ohio is one of those mentioned frequently in the news these days as possible nominee for the Presidency on the Democratic ticket, which makes it timely to remark that MT. Baker is an Open Shopper of the deepest dye. As Presi- dent of the Chamber of Commerce of his home city, Cleveland, he signed and published full-page advertise ments in the daily papers demanding the Open Shop and viciously attack ing unions and other forms of Or ganized Labor.
 Aside from his views as to union ism, an insight into the calibre of the man as a presidential possibility may be g1eaned from his abrupt about-face on the League of Nations question. For almost thirteen years MT. Baker pleaded the cause of the League to an electorate that has been apathetic or actively hostile to it. Al Jolson in his palmiest days never yearned for his Nanny with any where near the fervor displayed by the former War Secretary in his speeches for the international outfit at Geneva. At the 1924 National Democratic Convention in New York he reduced himself, and good many of his sweltering listeners as well, to actual tears in his plea that the Democracy go on record for the League. It was an obsession with him, and many who had no sympathy with the League felt sorry for the man in his seemingly hopeless task oe trying to sell it to the United States.
 Whatever sympathy was squandered on Newton Baker didn't prevent him from showing his true colors as soon as something more promising turned ur. With Democratic chances bright ening perceptibly in 1880 and 1881, MT. Baker, true to the Open Shop principle of keeping an eye to the main chance, began to angle for the Presidency. His name began to be "mentioned", which is the political way of saying that one has hired a press agent and made promises to a few score of political pooh-bahs. One of the first things the practical politi- clans told Baker was that the League of Nations, regardless of it's vices or virtues, was political dead-weight, whereupon without a qualm Newton D. heaved the League over the port rail of his pre-convention vessel by stating that it was no longer polit- ical issue. No Open Shopper ever did heater job of sinking his con- science at the first smell of personal gain; his action demonstrated a truth that has long been known, that man never looks so small nor an insect so large as when a shifty politician and a presidential bee occupy the same room.
 The Democratic Party numbers many unionists in it's membership. Before the pre-convention booms get too far advanced, it would be we'll for them, and we appeal especially to Democratic unionists in Connecticut, to make it known that Newton D. Baker is distinctly persona non grata to them. As President he would be, for unionists, large dose of cyanide of potassium. The time to make known Organized Labor's opposition is now, before the delegates to the national convention are named, and the instructions to be given to the delegates when they are named should be that Organized Labor is opposed to Newton D. Baker first, last, and all the time.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

the enemy SpearSmen were at such a safe distance one of them approached to what looked to the king like a half-mile from His Majesty. In real ity the spearsmen was not more than few feet away, and. taking good aim with a spear he pierced him through the chest. With his diaphragm hang ing out over his royal raiment he was taken and laid upon bed to die. He swore upon his death bed that the spear had travelled a full ha1f-miIe, but the saner witnesses just shook their heads and made circular move ments with their index fingers against their temples.
 King Open Shop insists upon look ing at the American Federation of Labor through the wrong end of the field glass. Already dangerous spears are flying at his head. One day, unless he mends his ways, a spear will bring forth his royal dia- phragm, but he will die happily igno- rant of his own folly.

 To the editor of the Craftsman:
 Your diligence in proving that MI. Cornelius is not past master in the use of the English language leaves me unexcited. don't see personally what his English has to do with the truth or otherwise of the facts that he brings out. I would rather read an illiterate treatise on something sound than all the perfectly rhetorical masterpieces on earth. Cornelius is looking out for his job, just the same as you are, but I prefer facts to lit erature any day. Regardless of your carping, I'll continue to read what he says.

 The Craftsman will invoke no in junction, but the writer may get neither facts nor literature. How ever, his point is well made. The criticism of MT. Cornelius's English was just little horseplay, with MT. Cornelius cast in the role of Dobbin.

To the editor of the Craftsman:

The Open Shop hosannahs proclaim ing the early decease of the American Federation of. Labor come at rather inopportune time, it appears to this writer. If you will refer to late is- sues of the Courant's Open Shop pages you will find a recent one praising to the skies the astuteness of A. F. of L.. leaders. If I remember it correctly it is a monograph ad- dressed to the other adherents of the Open Shop plan, exhorting them to give the labor leaders credit for the tremendous gains that they have made and are continuing to make. It tells the Open Shop folks that they are asleep at the switch.
 I wonder how they can reconcile such a statement with the previous statement that the Federation is on the rocks? My father used to tell me about an insane king who, when the telescope was yet new-fangled thing, used to look through it at his enemies when there was battle on. But he always insisted upon looking at those enemies through the wrong end of the gadget, so that they al- ways looked several miles away and infinitely unimportant. One day while he comfortably imagined that

 In all this talk about unemployment insurance to cure the country's ills I fail to find any explanation of how such workers as those in the construc- tion industry are to be taken care of. It will be hard to work out scheme to take care of unemployment among such workers, and yet it will be inn possible to leave them out of any scheme that is set up.

injunction brought by a rival
ferry company.
Permission to operate ferry
was granted to the company in
1880 with the provision that
work must be begun by Janu-

order work must be completed
