Labor’s Responsibility and Handicaps Intimations from many sources lead to the belief that union labor feels it can now dominate industry and trade as a result of the present attitude of government and changes in the laws. Whether or not this is true, de- velopments of the last few weeks prove conclusively that it should not be so, Domination of the American scene by organized labor would be fully as disastrous and as fraught 00} 0f the picture. It understands fully see ° 00 itive market and that the union Weekly by ‘mail in state, per year 1.00 | Pettive © 80) brother as the employer can be to) 50] of unreasonably high wages or too which union labor has brought to millions of American workmen. Its activities have had a part in improv- ing the lot of the average wage earn- er, regardless of affiliation with a ‘Trib-| union. Always the way has been pointed toward better living condi- tions, a higher standard of perfor- mance by workers in every craft. These results have been good and the public recognizes the fact. But the public also knows that very few workers are organized and that the aim of too many union men ts to elbow their non-union fellows out that labor sells its services in a com> man can be quite as cruel to his either. It recognizes that the cost short hours is borne by the public. It can see no reason for carrying one set of workers on a velvet cushion while another group is ground into the dirt. eRe All of these things are up for con- sideration at the labor convention now in progress. The way these prob- lems are met will do much to deter- mine the reaction of the public to the whole labor movement, revivified now under government auspices. And the public constitutes the jury which de- termines success or failure. A atatesmanlike attitude on the part of labor, unselfish and patriotic action in the present emergency, will do much to insure the success of the Tecovery movement. A grasping at- titude, one of unreasoning demand and determination to win selfish ad- vantage, will have the opposite effect. There is no doubting the oppor- tunity. The one question is whether with hardship for the average indi- vidual asisdomination by capital and industry.

Hugh 8. Johnson gets lots of objections to codes, but one of the strangest was that of Robert W. Johnson (no rela- tion to the general), who runs cotton mills in Georgia and Massachusetts, making mostly gauze for surgical dressin, N gs. Johnson (Robert W.) objected that the textile codes don’t shorten hours enough. Instead of the code limits of two shifts of 40 hours a week (which leaves machinery idle 64 hours a week), he wants an alternative. nrovi- sion that would allow four shifts of 36 hours a week each to manufac- turers who want to take full-time advantage of their machinery and other overhead costs. The saving on lost machine output and wasted overhead would enable}, him to employ twice as many men, and pay them the same for a six- hour day as the code now provides for eight, Johnson’s figures argue.

From it developed a cold- blooded armed attack by one set of workers on the other which rivalled the fighting between opposing armies in the late war. In Pennsylvania the situation was much the same, although there was less shooting, more resort to natural weapons of offense and defense. The point of it all is that labor can hardly expect to establish itself as a dominant factor until and unless it can abide by accepted rules of so- cial behavior. America is not yet ready for rule by armed bands whose only sense of justice is a fixed idea that their interests are paramount. * * ‘The NRA codes grant to the work- er the right to organize as he chooses. It binds the employer to respect that right. But it doesn’t bind his fellow workmen to respect it. Hence, when some Pennsylvania miners sought to work under their idea of @ proper agreement, other workers prevented them from so do- ing. Loyal union men, working un- der their acknowledged leaders, were prevented from going to work, as- saulted when they tried to do so. In Mlinois, under the same circum- stances, members of the United Mine . Workers were shot at and half a score wounded. Employers who reach- ed an agreement with one set of ‘workers found they had incurred the enmity of another set. The result- ing situation was and is clearly in- tolerable. Labor is under obligation to industry to be fair. Failure to ob- serve that obligation will bring pub- lie censure and lack of confidence. xe * Lest it be inferred that only mine workers are so troubled, it is only fair to take a peek at the annual convention of the American Federa- tion of Labor, now in session at ‘Washington. Here, too, we find divi- sion and lack of unity. Some seem to have forgotten patriotism entirely in their efforts to win work for themselves at the expense of fellow unionites. At the bottom of a thousand dis- putes is the effort of one craft to take work from another craft. Strikes have been called, for exam- ple, over the question of whether a carpenter or a member of some other etaft should hang a door in a build- task of amassing millions, is doing the nation a real service by survey- ing the current scene for a better system of liquor distribution and control than any we have had in the past. Making the survey are Dr. Ray- mond B. Fosdick and Albert L. Scott, who certainly cannot be accused of truckling to the liquor trade. Their interest is solely that of the public and their aim is to suggest means of eliminating the profit motive from liquor sales. A series of reports will be made by them and these should be studied| carefully by every government of- ficial or group interested in shaping a sound policy for the future. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree With The Tribune's policies, Down and Out (Glen Ullin News) The calm that has settled, at least outwardly, over the state capital after the special election may be accepted as an indication that the governor is out of wind, at least temporarily. And for the present may be referred to as “Silent Bill,” although that is not what many are naming him. Then again his silence may be at- tributed to many causes. One may be that he realizes that if he did egain try his “gift of gab” there would be very few who would be in- fluenced by anything he might have to say. Another reason may be that he has used up all conceivable ex- cuses. Whichever it may be, it at least affords many the much desired breathing spell. But our prediction is that this si- lence will be short-lived, for again ominous clouds of dissension are ap- Pearing on the political horizon. And the first indication that a storm is in the offing was the meeting of all members of the executive committee of the Nonpartisan League, of the State, and the elected officers of North Dakota, except two, at Fargo on Monday of this week. At this meeting the group bound themselves to oppose “any attempt Gov. William. Langer may make to seek reelection and branded him as incapable to fill the duties of governor.” The spokes- man for the committee gave out that the two absent members also en- Gorsed the agreement reached, which made it unanimous. And which also means that Langer will no longer be recognized as a member of the Lea- gue, for good and sufficient reasons, to quote the statement. The charge is that “for nine additional employment for its mem- bers. The builder, employing all un- fon men, nevertheless found himself between the upper and nether mill- stones.just as surely as though one set of men were union and the other months he has failed to work in har- mony with the elected officers of the state; that he has ignored their re- Peated invitations to consult with them on matters of state policy; that he has failed to consider them in any way.” Many other charges are hurled at Bill, some of which are: “that he r grant lature for the ben of and his personal clique.” Al re} Gov. pudiating .

In} England for many years the children | of conscientious objectors have been | exempt from compulsory vaccination, | altho the preponderance of belief among the country’s health author- ities and the general public has been that this was dangerous to the com- munity. ‘The practice of vaccination has de- clined in England in recent years. This is accounted for partly as a result of compulsory vaccination and partly as | i smallpox, that is to say, the change in the character of the disease; in Eng- land, as in the United States, small- pox has become a milder type of il- ness than was the smallpox of the nineteenth century. So people have less dread of it and more readily neg- lect vaccination. Moreover there is a real menace in- yolved in vaccination, a menace suf- ficiently grave to warrant at least a reconsideration of the whole question of vaccination as @ public health mea- sure. I refer to the occurrence of encephalitis following vaccination— brain inflammation which is avowed- ly caused by the vaccine. Altho this deplorable complication or untoward effect occurs only rarely, when it does happen it is quite enough to give the conscientious physician terrible doubts. T have expressed here repeatedly my own personal doubts about (a) the oc- currence of rabies in man, and (b) the administration (c) of Pasteur virus to persons who have been bitten by pre- sumably rabid animals. All the scien- tific literature, all the recorded cases and all the experience of colleagues have failed to clear away obscurity in which this problem is submerged. I don’t know. I don’t know. But if my own child were in that plight right now I believe I should NOT sanction the administration of the virus. I am comparing vaccine with anti- rabies virus because there are certain impressive analogies between them. No one knows the cause of and no one knows the cause of rabies, if rabies really occurs in man. No one knows what disease is inoculated when we vaccinate an individual suc- cessfully—no one can give absolute assurance of the purity of the vaccine. You see, it is impossible to sterilize vaccine as we sterilize anti-typhoid most approved method of preparing vaccine is a crude and unscientific business, a groping in the dark, with @ prayer that the vaccine shall carry no other disease than vaccinia, Like- wise no one knows what disease is in- oculated when Pasteur virus is inject- ed for the prevention of rabies. It is all a terribly blind business, and we can only follow blindly the lead of the blind.
