A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
BY Emmett p. Day Pastor
Na.-nA n-nrharAcrlan Church


Once again. we come to you that
joyous season Of the year when
each one OF US sens to forget self
in our effort TO make the rest OF
the world happy. And the result Is
that we find ourselves tasting the
sweetest joys that come TO the
human heart. This inevitable result
Is simply a part OF the Divine Or
der. II Is a reflection OF the spirit
that caused God to give because
He so loved-and inspired the
angels Of heaven TO sing because
the world Of men was 70 be bless
ed in the coming OF Him who
brought peace and goodwill.
Let us look beyond the visible
things Of ChristmaS-the colored
lights, the decorated tree, the beau
tiful gift package. and the printed
and spoken greeting and let US
seek the source Of this emotion
that 5tirS the world. We find that
back Of this emotion Is faith. and
back Of faith Is a fact-and that
fact Is that Christ was born in
Bethlehem. And this fact has "a
vital relation to your heart and
mine-because He was born TO bring
to you and TO me the peace and
good will that yields to man a hap
pineSs that is real and abiding.

THE NOR CASTLE

The wicked Reds have been blamed
for everything from the drought to the
epidemic of infantile paralysis, SO it
was only natural that they should be
accused of starting the fire that des-
troyed the steamer Moro Castle. The
investigation, however, brings nj the
fact that the ships officers delayed
calling for help in order to save sal
wage charges. Also, if they could show
the fire was OF incendiary origin, the
ship owners would be free from mil
lions of dollars in damages.
This deardful and inexcusable trag-
edy would seem on the evidence, to be
another sordid chapter in the story Of
greed - profits at any price. 1t has
been proved in other marine disasters
that the ship was unseaworthy, in
spection lax, and all because OF the
desire of some profit hunting ship
owner to avoid expense. The cure
that suggests itself and which will in
evitably come, is Government owner
ship Of transportation, and the placing
of human welfare above the making
Of private profits.

ANOTHER POLITICAL" STRIKE

Above the roar OF police guns and
the bursting Of gas bombs in Rhode
Island, you may have heard Governor
Green Of that State calling Tor Federal
troops. He didn't ask for any battle
ships or bombing planes, just troops.
What did he want them for? Why to
protect the property of our citizens"
meaning the mill owners. He also
appealed to the American Legion and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars to fur
nish one thousand men for strike duty
and both organizations refused.
This action on the part of the ex-
service men is significant and shows
which way the wind is blowing. Yes
brother, times and view points change.
Out Of about four million veterans, it's
likely that ninety per cent have felt
the yoke of poverty and exploitation.
The man who went forth in 1917 to
make the world safe for democracy
may be on strike or on the bread line
today. He would have to be pretty
dumb, not to recognize his real enemy.

FACTORY WORKER

I left my child, today, in a day nursery;
l left her happy, playing with a doll
A weighted doll that stood up straight
again
At every push they gave it. All the
kids
Stood round, and one Of them would
push it down
Each time it came back up; and then
they laughed
| never saw my young one laugh SO
much.
And now I'm thinking.m..that I'm like
that doll,
And so are all Of us that feed machines
All day, to get the food that let's us
live.
And every time we try to stand up
straight
Poverty throws US back; and sickness
helps;
And cold, and hunger, and the con-
slant fear
Well lose II jobs-the fear they'll
take our kids
Because we can't support 'em-fear's
the worst
OF all that reach out hands to push
US back......
Sometimes it seems as if they laugh
at us.
But we come back-we always do come
back
They can't quite keep us down~~.
And yet..~perhaps
If they should hold us down-hold us
too long
So that the weight swung back the
other way....

Drifts and Raises
Continued from page y

We succeeded in amending that first
requirement pertaining TO a strike, so
that we are not tied up hand and foot
as were the crafts in their agreement.
We figure this score is about even.
On the next proposition OF leaving
men on the job during a strike or
lockout or shut down, we score a
total loss. In the first place, we agree
not to declare a strike against the
company until all means at Cancellation
have been exhausted. 1t may take 2
months or longer to determine wheth-
er the matter can be conciliated or
not. During this time, and at all other
times for that matter, the company
agrees not to lock out the members
of the union; but it reserves the right
at all times to either extend, curtail
or shut down, when in its sole dis
creation, either one of these courses
becomes desirable or necessary. Query
When does a shut down cease to be
a shut down and become a lockout?
You see the point? We agree not
to strike until cancellations have fail
ed; which would be not less than As
days. The company agrees not to lock
us out. But a shut down may seem
desirable and necessary at any time,
consequently. we may find ourselves
out on a limb in the middle Of the
negotiations, and we must leave main
tenance men on the job.
Score We get thrown for a One
Hundred yard loss.
We have e%ndeavored to analyze the
major points in the Agreement in an
unbiased manner, and we find that the
unions, particularly the miners, have
probably gained something besides ex-
p~erience.

N TAKE NOTICES

The editors of Business Week Mag
azine have gone into a huddle and dis
covered the real cause of strikes. II
isn't the deardful economic condition
Of the t%oilers, the slave-driving and
speed-up, the mass misery and priva-
ton. No, none of those things. They
find that strikes are caused by union
officials jockeying for positions and
salaried jobs. The miners bow to the
superior judgment Of Business Week.

prize, consisting OF one bottle of eva

period. Much has been made OF the
fact that the Engineers lett their jobs
when this strike was called but had
Labor Relations been on a decent, fair
basis the Engineers would no doubt
have manned the pumps during the
present strike. The real reason for
the Engineers leaving the job was the
way this Union has been treated by
local officials during the past two
years.
THE CLOSED SHOP
The greatest victory was in the clos
ed shop clause. ION Union craftsmen
will not be hired unless the Union
cannot furnish sufficient men I o do
the job. When extra men are need
ed they are required to join the craft
Union within a stipulated time or be
dismissed. In the case of the Miners,
the Union will be given a list at the
end OF 80 of all men working at the
trade. Those not being members OF
the Union will be given 10 days to
join the Union. In case they do not
settle their differences with the I'm
ion they will be dismissed. The same
is true Of Union members who have
become delinquent. This will be a
boon to the Miners Union. In the
first place it will give Butte men the
first chance at employment. 1t will
also prevent much of the chiseling
that has taken place in the Union on
the part OF men who have been work.
ing but who try to evade the payment
of dues while enjoying the benefits
of Unionism. It will aid the new or
ganization to clear its ranks of many
teaches who have attached themselves
to the movement, who have evaded
payment Of dues, picket duty, respon-
sibility and all that goes with Union
ism but who are the first to ask for
the newly won benefits.
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
The agreement can be terminated on
90 days notice on the part OF either
parties. If such notice is not given,
the agreement automatically goes on
for another year. With the present
grievance set-up there should be no
need to terminate the agreement as
changes can be made through arbi-
tration.
AND so FORTH
1t was also agreed that all unfair
ness declared by both parties should
be ended. All men who went out will
be taken back on their old jobs. This
includes bosses, foremen, samplers,
watchmen, book-keepers and all others
who went out in sympathy with the
Unionists. This is as it should be.
The Federal Mediators, R. c. JAG
OLSON and P. w. Chappell state that
this is the best agreement they have
ever negotiated and no doubt the best
ever made in the country during the
present administration. They were
also more than pleased that the settle
ment was made without the use OF
force or active violence. Both Of these
men have kept their records clear by
having a 100 per cent record Of bring
ing about honorable terms of peace.
Both officials were highly pleased with
the spirit shown by all parties con-
cerned during the past weeks of nego-
tiating and expressed a hearty appre-
citation of the cooperation shown them
during the strike period.
