Experience of the past shows that
labor invariably loses if the rights of
all are not safeguarded.
Failure to protect civil rights is
breakdown of law, on which mob ac-
ton feeds.
If the rights of all groups are not
guarded, more and more groups are
attacked, until even the mildest eX-
preston of opinion, if it runs con-
trary to popular feeling, is dangerous.
Labor hating reactionaries take ad-
vantage of the situation to attack
unions, to push repressive legislation,
to arouse prejudice against organiza-
tion of labor, in short, to fight labor
on all fronts.
Hence the danger of permitting spy
hunting and other anti-espionage ac-
tivities by private organizations.
Labor treads on perilous ground
when it gives the least countenance to
such activities.
The same goes for censorship ef-
forts, in the theatre, newspaper, radio
or other fields.
They are bad business. They can
so easily be turned against trade
union activities, especially if public
h1,e+o,;, ;e yo,,,nop+ Tb;c ;e, n fo "a
that all trade unionists have not
learned.
There have been some disturbing
indications of public hysteria recently
Such as the efforts of Boston sub
urb to prevent the taking into its
limits of any books or printed matter
containing the name of Lenin or Len.
ingrad. AS if ideas could be exor.
cized by legislation!
The only safe rule in the matter Of
civil rights is the one set forth by
the late Justice Oliver Wendell
Holmes, one of the best and trues
Americans who ever lived
IF there is any principle of the
Constitution that more imperatively
calls for attachment than any other
it is the principle of free thought
not free thought for those who agree
with us, but freedom for the though
we hate" Holmes said.
The nation can never go wrong b.
following Holmes dictum.

six times as much as the annual losses
from 500 burglaries and robberies IN
stores of the chain.
Better business bureaus and crime
commissions confne their attentions
mainly to petty crimes, while the
white-collar criminals cost business
much more than the shop-lifters and
petty frauds.
Here is a call for moral rearma-
ment" which should begin at home.
The work of the Federal Trade Com
mission shows a daily record of "un-
fair trade practices" which range
from advertising misrepresentation
to price determinations and organized
defiance of we'll known commercial
laws. Every act of this kind saps the
foundations of common business mo-
rality. For years, the slogan of busi-
ness has been: LET the buyer be-
ware"-caveat emptor. But the world
is coming to be more insistent on the
square deal, whether of debtors OF
doctors.

Firm Ordered To Rehire
Is A. F. of L. Teamsters

(By A. z. of L. Weekly News Service)
Philadelphia, Pa.-The National La
Dor Relations Board ordered the Pro-
tective Motor Service Company here
to rehire 18 of its armored-car drivers
discharged late in 1885 allegedly for
union activities, and pay them back
wages estimated at $58,000.
The finding, on appeal from which
either side can ask hearing, sus-
tanned the complaint that the Is men
were discharged for joining Local 470
of the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Stablemen and
Helpers of America, an affiliate of
the American Federation of Labor.
The order directed the company to
cease discriminatory tactics against
union members.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 5, 1910.
1910 WILL BE "a HAPPY
NEW YEAR"

More than at any time in the past
ten years is there ground for the
characteristic greeting and good wish
of this season.
In spite of war abroad and in spite
of the long uphill climb back to nor
NAL conditions of employment and
business, the signs now are more ia
vorable than they have been for a
long time.
Employment is on the increase.
Total wage payments are also in
creasing. Wage rates, which have
shown a most commendable stubborn
ness against reductions during the
depression period, are being main
tanned and, in enough cases to indi-
cate bright prospects, are increasing.
On the other hand, living costs are
not pyramldlng as was reared as
result of the war scare and the actual
outbreak of hostilities.
Credit for most of this must go to
the organized labor movement. Much
also should be given to the sanity of
the American people, whether wage
and salary workers or business men
in their refusal to be stampeded by
the European situation.
Again, and another reason for re-
joicing, democracies have given evi-
dence of the fact that they can keep
their feet on the ground
