Auto Workers Know What
They Want

The United Automobile Workers of America
is a young international but its members have
already had sufficient experience to form sound
conclusions of their own on the importance of
industrial organization in a mass-production in
dustry.
The history Of attempts to organize the auto
workers was long one of Illustration due to
lack of the winning combination of correct tao
tics, aggressive leadership and general labor sup
port.
The drive for organization which should have
come from the American Federation of Labor
repeatedly failed to materialize or was turned
into f~ruitless channels, because of the multitu-
dinous claims of craft leaders whose paper juris-
dictions had no real applicability in the indus
try.
Where organization along industrial lines was
attempted it had to be in Independent unions,
severely handicapped by lack Of support or even
hostility from the regular labor movement.
Tn the last few years, however, the industrial
idea has made some Roadway within the A. F.
of L. itself. Where organization has been sue
cessful it has been along industrial lines, unit
ing all the workers in an auto plant into one
union.
Fears and doubts about the federal unions be-
ing later divided among crafts whose main
sphere is outside the auto industry, still operat-
ed however to check organization and to en-
courage dual unionism.
Even after the granting of an international
charter to the United Auto Workers, the per-
%sistence of craft jurisdictional claims and the
refusal of the A. F. Of L. executive council to
accord full industrial jurisdiction to the new un-
ion have tended to continue disunity and dual un-
ism.
But a unifying factor has recently entered the
situation in the banding together of a number
of powerful A. F.. of L.. internationals pledged
to aid organization of the mass-production in
dustries along industrial lines.
In the rubber industry, this group and the in
dustrial organization idea they advocate have
aided in building up a powerful union, with
membership multiplied many times. The re-
suits of their efforts have been unity and gains
for all A.. F. of L. unions in Akron, including the
crafts.
In the auto industry, the Committee for In
dustrial Organization has advocated the unfit
cation in the A.. F. of L. Of all existing unions,
on the industrial basis which all alike desire, so
that a united organizing drive may be launched.
The influence of the {. I. 0. has been against
dualism and for unity. The powerful bloc which
its unions form in the A. F. of L. has checked
contemplated raids on the United Auto Work
ers and interference with its sovereignty by
those who do not seem enthusiastic about a
mighty industrial union being built in the auto
industry.
AS against the arbitrary and out-dated juris-
dictional divisions which some have sought to
impose on the mass-production industries, the
c. |. O.. unions have asked only fair play for the
auto workers in the A.. F.. of L., and that they
be allowed a free hand to promote the form of
unionism that grows out of the nature of their
industry and their own economic needs and
desires.

smiled and remarked:

In another instance, Sir John
Millais gave a dinner in honor of
Matthew Arnold. One of the
guests called alarmed attention to
the fact that there were 13 at the
table. Matthew Arnold laughed
at his fears and undertook to

The answer iS-they CAN. Bar
ring criminal transactions, any
one can be a law unto himself.
Nor is this particularly new. His
tory records that the saintlieSt
souls have always been revolution
aries. Consider Socrates, Joan of
Arc, Jesus of Nazareth, Columbus,
Florence Nightingale, Louis Pas
teur, Abraham Lincoln. No me-
morable step in human progress
was ever made without challeng-
ing convention.
So far, the argument is all with
the insurgents. But-here comes
the joker. You can defy conven-
tion-yeS. You can do an endless
number Of eccentric things which
offend popular prejudice.
MUST PAY PRICE
But if you do, you must be pre-
pared to pay the price. Which,
believe me, will be plenty.
For, remember-if you break a
convention you do much more than
break an unwritten law: You chal-
lenge the human weakness which
that unwritten law protects.
Conventions didn't just happen.
There's a deep and serious reason
for them. Conventions make life
possible for the Average Citizen

Such being the case, the Average
Citizen is not apt to be enthusiastic

safety and comfort. And he's going

KERRY
It is to be hoped that many Of
those who are bound for England
will visit Ireland even if they are
not of Irish ancestry. They will
not be sorry if they allot some
time to the Emerald Isle. Those
who delight in exquisite scenery,
that is full of contrast and change,
those who enjoy meeting people
that are amazingly friendly and
kind, yet politely dignified, will re-
joice in Ireland and will be glad
they visited there. And the
chances are that they will return
again.
One of the most beautiful of all
the counties is Kerry. which is
often referred to as the Kingdom
of Kerry" Novelist, poet and
painter have glorified Kerry and
when Queen Victoria visited it she
called it Fairyland. The color and
variety of its lakes and mountains,
the glamour of it's sea coast stud
ded with beautiful islands, the
beauty of Killarney contraSted
with the rugged grandeur of Ken
mare, offer something for every
body. Nature lover, sportsman,
antiquarian will all find that
Kerry offers them much.
GARDENS OF PARKNASILLA
And if you believe that Ireland
is cold, bleak, rainy, then you will
get the surprise of your life when
you reach ParknaSilla. Amongst
its fantastic labyrinths of winding
waterways and tiny islands, you
will find exotic flowers and shrubs,
flourishing right in the open. The

rgardens of ParknaSilla are famous
for their roses that grow even in
winter. Nearby the hedges are red
with fuchsia that grow to an amaz-
ing height. There are other towns
along this Irish Riviera that are
just as mild and beautiful. There
are splendid hotels to take care Of
the most eXacting demands, and
the lovely air, mild, yet Stimulat-
ing, will give you real appetite.
Nearby is the pretty resort of
Waterville, with marvellous fish
ing, and hunting and golf on a
picturesque and sporty course.
Around Caherciyeen is the O'Con-
neil country with is interesting
antiquities. The varied attrac-
tionS of beautiful Valencia island
include tropical gardens that look
anything but Irish. Glenbeigh,
a popular SeaShore and fishing
center on Dingle Bay is beside
limpid Caragh Lake, famous for
its fish, and set in broom and
gorse clad mountains.
WILD COAST LINE
A trip through the Dingle
Peninsula will bring one through
a district that has been little af-
fected by the passing of cen
turieS.
The wild coast line is unsur-
passable in grandeur and cold
majesty. Pagan and early
Christian relics abound. Dingle,
itself the heart of Irish-speaking
Kerry, is the center of district
where Irish mythology, archeolo-
gy and history are wonderfully
well represented.
Castlegregory and Gloghane are
lovely little resorts, pictureSquely
situated on the Bays of Brandon
and Tralee. And when you get
to Tralee with it's lovely little
seashore suburbs, it's cliff scenery.

Pests and proceed to treat them
accordingly.
Even So-isn't a great cause
worth all it costs?" cry the cru
SaderS.
It is, indeed. And no truly
great spirit ever regrets the price
he pays for noble cause. But,
unfortunately, we're not always
great spiritS-nor or motives and
cruSadeS invariably noble. So, be-
fore you defy the world, it might
be well to consider just why
you're doing it-or how you'll face
the inevitable punishment.
Are you doing this thing be-
cause you have an overpowering
yen for Righteousness? Do you
really want to save your neighbor
make his life bigger and better?
Or do you just want to show off?
Or are you so bored you want to
start something?

Suppose you do start something
what then? Or will you want
to eat your cake and have it,
both? Admitted that conventions

are you sure that you're entirely
free from cowardice yourself?
Have you, yourself, no ignorance

Are you willing to face the lone

which all Free Souls must endure?
Will you be able to keep your
head when all about you are losing

will surely happen! They will
happen because, by making con,

'ern city in the summer OF 1865,
13 men wearing Confederate uni
forms sat down to dinner. They
had returned from the war to find
their homes destroyed, their slaves
freed, their wealth gone, their
friends scattered and many of
their nearest and dearest dead.
Weary, broken, diSheartened,
they determined to forget the
past and drown their sorrows in
drink. LET us call this The Last
Supper, said one of the party,
and the impiouS suggestion met
with instant approval from those
War-worn men. They might never
meet again, so '"The Last Supper"
would be a fitting name for this
chance meeting. Moreover, the
irreverence, the very blaSphemy,
was in keeping with their mood
Of desperation.
BLASPHEMY
More drinks were ordered. The
lights were turned low, and the
13 men declared themselves to be
the Saviour and his IL Apostles.
A young man who had COM
manded a regiment acted the part
Of Christ. Each Of the others as
sumed the name of an Apostle.
There was a wrangle as to who
should impersonate Judas, but at
last, young lieutenant agreed to
assume the character. Until long
after midnight the blaSphemouS
mockery was kept up. A Bible
was called for and the officer
impersonating the Saviour read
aloud the solemn words of
Christ.
At the proper point in the
reading, bread was passed
around. The wine was repre-
sented by glasses filled to the
brim with brandy. 'He that
drinketh from the bottle with
me shall betray me-" exclaimed
the mock Christ, as he lifted the
decanter to his lips and then
passed it across the table to
Judas. This was greeted with
peals of laughter, while the
mock apostles yelled: "Judas,
pass the bottle"
When morning broke, the 13
men were in a drunken Stupor. 1t
was several days before they re,
covered from the effects of that
nights debauch. Then they Sepa.
rated, never to meet again. From
that night, so the story concluded
the vengeance of God followed
every one of those 13 men. Every
thing they undertook failed.
Every man of them met a hor
rible and disgraceful death. The
Christ of the occasion was drowned
in the Brazos River while fleeing
on a stolen horse from a vigilance
committee. The st. John was
lynched in Texas for murder. An
other of the APOSTLES" while in
toxicated, was caught in burning
building and perished in the
flames. Still another was stabbed
to the heart by woman he haC
betrayed. So far as can be learned
not one of them received Christian
burial. The man who died in the
gutter and was buried in Potter'S
Field was the last of the 13.

each side of the fated thirteenth,
the doomed Messiah, who occu-
pies the center Of the table.
Before cock-crow of the morrow.
He was to be betrayed by Judas
and thrice denied by Peter, and
before sunset He was to suffer a
shameful death upon the cross.
The picture itself is badly blurred
by time and even its dim remains
are fast fading away on the
plaster wall of a seldom-visited
church in Milan.
But countless reproductions
paintings, engravings and photo
graphs-have made it one Of the
most familiar of the great works
of art. Leonardo helped to spread
the superstition but neither he nor
his picture originated it.
From time immemorial, in many
portions of the globe, i'll luck has
been associated with the number.
In the myths Of the ancient Hin
docs, we read that 13 at table
boded disaster to someone seated
there. Even today there Is a Gu
riously wide belief that one or
more will die within a twelve
month.
IN CURIOUS FORMS
In. the. chapel. adjoining the
Church of st. Gregory in Rome
is q marble table with an inscr1p-
ton which recountS how Pope
Gregory the Great entertained IL
poor men at breakfast every morn
ing and how, on one occasion,
Christ appeared and shared their
meal, making thirteen at table.
Henceforth the Pope ordained 13
was 70 be considered a lucky num-
Der. If this had any effect. that
effect has quite passed away.
Everywhere the old superstition
survives in all sorts Of curious
forms.
Even in the United States and
in our largest cities there are
hotels which have no room num-
bered 13. Or, if there is a number,
guests frequently object to occupy
ing the room. In several Skyscrap-
erS in New York, 13 is skipped in
numbering not only the rooms,
but even the floors.
In Germany and in France the
fateful number is usually ignored
not only at hotels, but wherever
it would occur in the natural Or
der of rotation. In Berlin, it is
omitted from all new streets. In
Paris, is is nearly always changed
to 12-A or 1917. The Italians
never use the number in making
up their lotteries.
And if you cross over from
Christendom into the Mohamme-
dan world, you will find the Turks
so fearful of it that the very word
is obsolete. Napoleon I, as well
as the third of the name, had the
13 superstition in virulent form.
So did Bismarck. In 1906, when
the French cabinet was reorgan-
lied, the official announcement

through the ages is permeatlng
the minds of several groups.
They argue that in the face OF
the tremendous popularity of the
man who is to be given the reinS
of government for another four
years beginning January 20, his
tory will demand a suitable rec
ognition of the event.
Of course, a great deal Of the
responsibility as to just how elabo-
rate the affair will be depends
upon the man who will be chosen
as chairman of the inaugural COM
mittee.
AS a personal appointee Of the
President this individual will be
expected to adhere closely to the
Chiefs wishes but since the Presi-
dent has put off selecting him un-
til he returns from his Southern
cruise, there is feeling that per-
haps close personal friends Of
Franklin Delano Roosevelt can
make him see that he oughtn't to
be too darn modest about the mat
ter and stand in the way of a
couple Of million people having a
good time.
Last year Admiral Cary T. Gray
son, chairman of the American
National Red Cross and a member
of the Washington National Monu,

the plaudits of many for the eff
ficient manner in which it was
handled. His name is being men
toned again as a possible ap
pointee.
The Democratic Council which
suggested Admiral Grayson to the
President in 1882 has not as yet
become active in the current selec
ton but some attention is being
paid to the officers of the council
as probable chairmen.
Ernest Walker is president, Jo
