Out of the present labor anarchy, let ‘us hope there will emerge a system of com- pulsory arbitration of labor disputes and also compulsory incorporation of labor unions. When botr parties to a dispute are responsible there is a chance for an equi- table solution and fair to the disputants. According to authoritative estimates, more than $6,000,000,000 a year is in- vested by Americans in illegal lotteries of one form or another, and that is one reason why The Citizen has always and unhesi- | tatingly advocated a National Lottery, Pure thermore, this paper believes that much petty gambling would cease if a National Lottery were in operation. Of two evils} the better part is still the lesser. A. bill for a National Lottery has been introduced | by Representative Kenney of New Jersey, | in which special provision is made for ard management of a proposed lottery through the existing facil department. ies of the Post re pert is expressing himself. ' 4 ee eee | The right of labor.to organize is gen- ; erally recognized, except in the most re-| actionary circles. The right of labor to} strike, it seems, is also acquiesced in. | With strikes, however, comes picket-| ing, which is rarely without bad-feeling. | Peaceful picketing, upheld by the Courts, | is extremely rare when mass workers are | involved. In time, publie opinion will compel the creation of effective mediation ma- | chinery or compulsory arbitration of dis- putes. Until then, however, there will be strikes and as fast as issues and grievances are adjusted new demands will arise from new conditions. Among these demands, it ; is plain to see, will be the demand on the part of labor organizations for the closed shop and the check-off, With the express statement that our sympathies are with labor and that, in the long run, we give labor our support re- gardless of some questionable tactics, let us look into the closed shop and check-off ideas. ‘Surely, the friends of labor must expect responsible leaders to recognize the obligations that come to them and their organizations when they acquire the power to represent workmen. Let us assume, that in a small town somewhere, there is a plant employing 1,- 000 workers, who are divided between two union organizations and some non-union workers. One union has 350 members, another 400 and there are 250 non-union men. What, now, are the rights, not of the owners of the plant, but of the work- men themselves? Suppose, for example, that a strike is | called by the union with 400 members and that the other union men want to work and that the non-union men want to work. Has the striking minority a right, as a union, to prevent the others from work- ing? Has the union, which called the strike, the right to demand that it be given } exclusive representation of all the workers, and that out of the pay envelope of each ; worker there be deducted dues for its treasury? Frankly, we know not the answer. There arises this question: Can labor ef- fectively organize in a plant or industry without the closed shop? Should the vote of a majority of those employed decide this question? Would it be possible, by means of regular elections, held in the plants and industries, to decide whether } there shall be closed shop, an. open i shop or a mixe@ shop? Is it feasible for) labor represel ion to be decided, nl by 5 strikes and battles, but by the vote of the workers? If so, would the organization of | labor be reasonably effective to secure the advantages which organization alone ean | secure for working people These are questions which we make ; no present attempt to answer but they are among the issues which will face not} only laborers of this country but all peo-! ple in the next few years. GRAF ZEPPELIN ENDS CAREER After eight years of continuous serv- | ice, during which she made 590. flights, ! the Graf Zeppelin has been definitely re- tired and in a short while the.

The Hindenburg disaster robbed zep- | pelins of most of their lure unless the use | of helium can demonstrate conclusively / their safety from explosions. Whether | there will be another great dirigible ship | of commerce, or not, only time will tell, / but the old Graf Zeppelin goes to her de- flation like an honored veteran, with } world-wide appreciation of her service. i {the A.
