fear here is that a lot of investors

to lose another club trick, and SO
lost contract-two spades, two
clubs, and the ace of hearts.
Bozman, as South. tried diff

even il the adverse clubs were
so split that his suit could be
cleared with only one loss, he
would still have to guess right
how to play 1t.
So he decided to hope simply
for q 3-3 diamond break. On

he led low toward the jack OF

the spades. Mr.. Bozman then

StAAAesg TWINS
POWER, kESPoN VISIBILITY

Eleven million Americans ore now
members of labor organizations. Thot
is not only q for ereoter number than
ever before, but it is q higher percent
ooe Of the whole number of workers;
about d per cent Of the estimoted So
100000.
The measure Of thot growth is seen
in the foot that in 1910 only little
more than two million workers we're
organized, Just above 8 per cent In
1920 the nearly five million organized
workers were just above II per cent OF
the total, which percentage had drop
ped off to nine in 1880.
This is momentous change. 1t
means q tremendous concentration of
power, economic ond political, in the
hands Of organized workinomen.
When there is power, there must
be responsibility for the use Of that
power. A thousand years Of history and
much blood have been poured out in
the effort to make political rulers re-
sponsibIe to the peoples they rule. Blood
still flows in that unceosine struggle.
All who exercise power of any kind
must be responsible. As Disroeli en-
phosized. -, all power is trust :.
we ore accountable for it's exercise s.
from the people and for the people all
springs -.
The labor leader is trustee Of pow
er. He is responsible for its use not only
to the members Of his own organize
ton, but to oil the people, In precisely
the some way, the industrial manager
is responsible, not only. to his owners
and stock holders, but to all the people.
Whence comes the right to hold and
own the property in the. first place?
From all the people. Whence came the
laws and the social outlook which per-
mitted unions to orgonize to their pres
ent high peak? From all the people,
The time hos passed when any man
can run his business without giving ul-
timote consideration to the wishes and
welfare Of all the people. And the time
hos passed when a labor Ieoder can
run his union without giving ultimote
consideration to the some thine-the
wishes and welfare Of all the people.
The more thoughtful leaders Of
both the A. +. Of L. and the c. |. O.
ore looking eroveIy on their recent vic
tories in organizing workers. They
know that with the victory comes the
burden, and with power comes respon-
sibIity.
To anyone who holds power in trust
may come doy when it will be asked
of him as it was Of the steward in the
parable: "How is it that ! hear this of
thee? Give an account Of thy steward
ship: for thou moyest be no longer
