NOTORIOUS STRIKE. BREAKER
ARRESTED FOR PRACTICING
BUSINESS NOW PROHIBITED

New York City 0LNS).-Pearl l..
Bergoff, notorious operator of a once
nationally known strike-breaking
agency, has been arrested for practic-
ing his old business, which was made
illegal under State and Federal law
some years ago.
Bergoff and his daughter Harriet,
accused of being in business with him,
were arrested at their home here by
detectives acting on the orders of
State Attorney General John j. Ben
nett. Lew Cohn, Special investi-
gator,' also working with Bergoff was
arrested at his home the same day.
The complaint on which the arrests
were made charged that from Nov. /
to Nov. rs, Bergoff, his daughter and
Cohn operated through the Modern
Investigation Bureau, licensed pri-
vate detective agency, to supply
breakers to Spear & Co., furni-
ture dealers.
1t was charged that Bergoff's oper.
ations were illegal in themselves and
also because Bergotf's license as q
private detective had been revoked II
1885 and because men Of criminal rec.
ord had been used as strike breakers

LOOK TO YOUR
LEADERS!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Aioiil liie pcS iIHiluS u IIHic VIC
favorite alibi Of man, nation or a
race, for going astray has been the
detection of the leader. He was the
one to blame. His was the sin. The
others simply followed. But that is
one alibi that just does not hold water
in a democratic society. For where
the people determine upon their
leader-he is their servant, not their
boss-their representative, not their
fuehrer, and he must be made to re-
alize this!
In this hour when labor is being
severely criticized because Of the mis-
deeds of some Of it's leaders, it doesn't
matter how comparatively few these
traitors to trade unionism are. 1t does
matter that this condition exists at
all, for labor elects it's own leaders.
Wherever a corrupt or dishonorable
or self-seeking leader is in authority
he stays there with the consent or
through the toleration Of those who
placed him in such a position-or
which is most usual-through their
Indifference. David Harum said, "You
can't have an honest horse race until
you have an honest human race" And
you can't have honest and honorable
:. leaders unless the honest and honora-
BILE people will get out and put them
! into power and help them in every
way to carry out their appointed
| tasks.
The crying need of the world today
is leadership--in international rela-
tions, in national affairs, in local Of
fices-and in all branches of our daily
life. Good leaders are hard to find
because the task of conscientious,
honest, objective leadership is diff
ficult, thankless one AS a people we
are too apt to put up with mediocrity
rather than to get out and bestir our
selves to find men who can properly
represent US. We are too easily and
too often taken in by a glib tongue
and easy, confident manner.
Organized labor must remember
that its leaders represent the entire
movement-that they are the embodi-
ment of the things for which trade
unionism stands, of the principles in
which organized workingmen believe.
You, the rank and file of labor, can
get rid of dishonest or self-seeking
leaders if you want to. 1t is up to you
to clean your own house Of those
whose major interest is their own
profit or aggrandizement, for other
wise the work will be done from out
side-perhaps unfairly and probably
in ways you won't like.
All reform movements must come
from beneath, and it is the rank and
file of la.,or who must speak out You
must select as leaders men of whose
integrity you are sure. Once you have
found such men, you must back them
Fundamentally, in action as we'll as in
speech. If the leaders turn out well
you can take the credit. If they turn
out badly-there is no alibi, for you
chose them. AS long as you tolerate
such leaders and do not take steps to
replace them, you remain responsible.
! T,oOk To vOur leaders!

SHIPBUILDING TO REQUIRE
800, ,0G0 MORE WORKERS

Washington, d. c. QLNS)-Three
hundred thousand additional workers
must be trained and put on the job by
next November, for full production OF
the ships included in the Navy and
merchant marine building programs,
it is estimated by Fred w. Erhard
national shipbuilding coordinator. He
has just completed a survey Of ship
yard building requirements for the
Department Of Labor and Office OF
Production MANAGEMENT.
This program will increase by rs
per cent the number Of workers now
employed in shipbuilding, Erhard
says.

There is something sacred about
wages-they represent homes and
families and domestic destinies. On
the cost sheet, wages are mere
figures; out in the world wages are
bread boxes ard coal bins, babies
cradles and children's education, fam
ily comforts and contentment.

NO MAN INDISPENSABLE

No man is indispensable
Though some may think they are;
The President, all autocrats
Or some great movie star;
For Father Time lets none escape,
The big success or flop,
And should he lose his present job
He'll find the works won't stop.

THE FUTURE?
BY DANIEL B. STRALEY

When freedom covers in the dust
And tyrants sit enthroned,
And man is made the pawn Of man
And slaughter is condoned,
Let him who hates aggression's greed
The future contemplate
And in the glaring light Of truth
Ponder our nations fate.

Brig. Gen. j. o. Donovan, state
director of selectiye service, today
urged local draft boards to be
doubly careful that no man who is
more useful for national defense in
his civilian occupation is called for
military service.
While the recruitment of a
large peacetime army is essential
to national defense" Donovan said,
lit is equally important that there
be no interference with the pro-

Donovan said the civilian supply
of professional men is dangerous
