improvement In his wages and his
working conditions. That Is what C..
I. o. Is attempting to do-and is do
ing. That Is what G. I. o. hopes to
accomplish.
During the last year We have
brought in thousands and thousands
Of workers into the organization. Ours
Is no -than-thou attitude. There
are millions OF workers who have been
exploited through the years. Some
OF these, members Of the crafts unions,
have attained some degree OF protec-
ton, who through organization have
learned how to protect themselves and
thier rights against the exploiters.
However, there are millions Of unor-
ganized workers who also have their
rights, who deserve the same degree
Of moral support, the same sympa-
thies, the same protection already en-
joyed by others. These rights should
apply equally to one man as to an
other"
C. 1. o. Continually Expanding.
How far has c. I. O. progressed?
Mr.. Lewis could not say, offhand, the
number Of thousands who have en-
rolled. We are continuously expand
ing the numerical strength Of the Or
ganization."
The charge has been made that c.
I. O. fails to recognize responsibility.
THAT is not true All privilege
carries with 1t, a corresponding re-
sponsibility. c. I. o. recognizes this
responsibility"
Have the results gained been sum-
cient to compensate for the loss Of
time and wages to the men because
of strikes?
Strikes and loss Of time are some
thing over which the worker has no
control. They are caused by the
employers. not brought on by the
men. The men merely sought collec-
tive bargaining contracts as is their
right. This involved the right Of
labor to live. Who can say what that
right is worth? Who can say what is
or Is not an exorbitant price to pay
for principle? Hundreds of thous-
ands OF men died in the World War
fighting for the principles of freedom.
Who can say what freedom is worth?
THE worker is fighting for the right
to do a days work, for the right to
be able to live in happiness with his
family under conditions which allow
him modicum Of enjoyment The
c. I. o. has existing contracts with
more than 258 corporations. ranging
from the smallest to the largest,
recognizing the right Of the worker
for proper representation for bargain
ing purposes. We are only asking
now that other steel companies do the
same thing and recognize this right.
Who can say how much 1t Is worth
to forfeit ones rights?
&C. l. O. has established 483 local
individual unions and 36 individual
union councils in various cities, rep
resenting hundreds of thousands of
workers. 1t still is in the process of
expansion. The c. l. o. is a going
concern. What the workers want is
an organization to represent their
viewpoint and to crystalline their
ideas"
The charge has been made, Mr..
Lewis, that whenever c. l. o. starts
out to enforce its demands, invariably

Julius Brittlebank, known as well

Saturday in Honolulu with his boots

Mr. Brittlebank. who always made
Washington a long stop on his wan

when illness struck him. It was re-
ported he suffered "fiuttering heart"

was 70.
Mr.. Brittlebank had been on the go
since 1911, when, after . busy life in
business. he retired with = comfort

about everything In every land. After

He was making his last trip against

a virtual state of anarchy exists and
that c. I. o. is thoroughly irrespons-
ible in the matter OF keeping its
contracts.
"Who is saying that? Would they
say it Of c. I. o. in its relations with
the mining industry? Would they
say it Of the steel industry? In the
steel industry, involving 100000 men
who are members Of the c. I. O., there
has been not a single loss OF q one
man day since the c. I. o. contract
was signed. In only one place-the
automobile 1ndustry-can any such
charge be made. And in the auto
mobile industry there is a peculiar

Acts Of violence? Undoubtedly
there will be violence 50 long as human
nature remains human nature. But
why not get rid Of the causes of that
violence? All that our men want is
the right to be heard, the right to
represent themselves, to be free men,
not machines.
violence? No one has been killed
but our people. No one has been
manned by our people. Ten workers
killed, shot down by the Chicago police.
A tear-gas projectile executed another
OF our men, left him writhing on the
ground at Youngstown. Yet all this
could be terminated simply by the
signing Of memorandum of agree
ment guaranteeing the men the right
to organize. Your Girdlers, your Pur-
nells-they could terminate this war
fare. II there were less Girdlers in the
world there would be more peace.
Il suppose when the armistice was
held behind the lines in 1918, the
members of the German high COM
mand told Gen. Foch and our own
Pershing, This is what we agree to,
but We won't sign anything I sup
pose later at the peace treaty con-
ference at Versailles the German rep
resentatives still said, Yes, we agree,
but We won't sign anything
Did they sign? History hath it
that they did.
Remove Cause Of Violence.
Let the self-righteous persons say
what they please, those poor men
would not have been killed If Girdler
had signed. Don't complain Of vio-
lence, but remove the cause What
We need is fewer laws and fewer
Girdlers. Disarm their men. Let me
point QUIT is the steel company that
is prepared for war, that starts war,
not the c. I. O.
The tear-gas bombs, the bombing
gas thrown by the police, the rifles,
the arms-all furnished by whom? BY
the police? No! BY the steel COM
panies.
What right has Glrdler to arm for
war? Does labor have the right to
spend million dollars for weapons
and tear gas? You're right. The
answer is no. Labor does not want
to buy tear gas. But labor is getting
mighty tired of swallowing tear gas -
AS for the reSt-the answers as to
policy, the goal OF c. I. o. and what
his organization is attempting to do,

The history of the world during his
lifetime was personal experience for
Mr.. Brittlebank. In his more than
100000 miles OF travel he has seen
most of the great events of the world
from grandstand seat. He has never
missed an Inauguration in Washing

assassinated and he had a clear re-

OF Gen. Ulysses S. Grant He said
his earlier travels, which began when
he was 6, were just incidental and
that he did not take up travelling ser
iously until. at so, he had enough to
indulge himself thoroughly.

that had him right on the sidelines

I'VE don't want any new legisla-
ton. We have plenty OF laws now
What this country needs is fewer Cir
dIers."
Coming from John L. Lewis, mill
tant human dynamo OF the Commit
tee for Industrial Organization, this
declaration would be amazing under
any circumstances. Set it against the
background of curhstone gossip which
for months has earmarked President
Roosevelt as the silent supporter of
c. I. O., anxious to push through la
bor-favoring legislation before Con-
gress can go home for vacation, and
1t might be credited with additional
significance.
Lewis made the statement in answer
to question as to the attitude of his
organization toward the President S
hours and wages" bill and other laws
being talked of affecting labor. AS
he spoke he pushed back the big
leather chair in his office, walked
around the wide end of his desk and
paced the floor. but he did not amplify
his reply about the laws He had
prefaced it with others. discussing
frankly and with obvious sincerity
the objective Of the c. I. o. as he con-
ceived them.
"All we are trying to do is give the
vorker-the unorganized worker-an
equal chance with every one else.
Give him the right to be heard, to ex-
press himself.

organize the unorganized.
&C. I. o. Is Responsible"
"The c. I. O. does have a sense of
responsibility. Each privilege gained
carries with it a corresponding re-
sponsibllity." And he explained with
painstaking earnestness the peculiar
conditions" which had given rise to
the charge Of responsibility in the
automobile industry.
All this he expounded calmly and
without heat. 1t was only when he
spoke Of the present situation with
the independent steel companies that
his composure left him. John Lewis

SAFETY TEST TO BE HELD
FOR DELAWARE AUTOS

The annual motor vehicle campaign
will be held throughout the State of
Delaware starting on July 18th and
continuing until August 31st, accord
ing to an announcement made recently
by the State Motor Vehicle Depart
ment.
During this period every motor We
hicle operating with Delaware reg
istration will be required to pass this
safety test and those cars that do
not pass the test or are not taken to
the place of inspection for the purpose
of being examined, will have their
designations revoked.
AS has been the practice for the
previous years five safety lanes will
be in operation throughout the State
for the purpose of making these in
spections. Two of the safety lanes
will be located in Wilmington while
the remaining three will travel about
the rural sections of the State.
Official inspections cards for each
car with Delaware registration is
being prepared by the Motor Vehicle
Department and will be sent to the
owner of the registration at the last
known address. These cards will be
taken with the car to the inspection
lane and as each car passes the inspec-
ton test, the cards are sent to the
Department in Dover where they are
checked against the records.

JUNE BROUGHT
A SLIGHT DECLINE
IN MOTOR DEATHS

While the first few days of June
brought a slight decline in the num-
Der of motor deaths in 1877 large cities,
the total for the first twenty-five
weeks of 1887 ran twenty per cent
above the same period of 1886, &C
cording to the American Automobile
Association.
Basing his statement on official
figures reported to the U. S. Bureau
of the Census, Thos. p. Henry, of De-
troit, President of the national motor
ing body, declared that only thirty
eight cities, of the 127 reporting, had
a decrease in motor deaths, and the
rate of increase in the other eighty
nine, including the larger cities "is a
challenge to traffic and enforcement
authorities"
Mr.. Henry listed the thirty-eight
cities which decreased their motor ia
talities as follows: Albany, N. Y; At
lanta, Ca; Beaumont, Texas; Bing-
hamton, N. Y; Birmingham, Ala;
Bridgeport, Conn; Cambridge, Mass;
Charleston, S. c.; Duluth, Mimi; Dur
ham, N. c.; East Orange, N. j.; Evans

Lawyer Fears
F ath err Divine
May Do A Houdini

NEW YORK CITY.-(A. N. ~
An attorneys fear that Father
Major ]. Devine, Harlem's ace cult
list, may make good on a reported
threat to "evaporate for thou
sand years or so,' because OF dis
sension among his angels last
week prompted William W. Les
selbaum to file in Supreme Court
an application for the appointment
of receiver for all Of Divine's va
rious heavens"
Lesselbaum is counsel for Mrs.
verinda Brown, one-time angel
who changed her mind and de-
cided she wants returned the $4,-
900 she claims she gave Divine.
The application for a receivership
is also deemed advisable by the
lawyer because Of the reported dis
sension among the angels" be-
cause of the many legal difficulties
in which Divine has found himself
in recent months.
Attorney Lesselbaum declared:
"In view of what has taken place
within the last ten days it seems
probable that there will be a gen.
eral run for cover and that many
angels named defendants in this
action may attempt to take what
ever property stands in their own
names, although properties were
purchased with the funds Of the
mission"
