It was born in our house. We found its mother out in the cold, try- ing to give expression to her feelings and condition. We took herin. We worked and worried. We hunt- ed up and offered all the necessaries for the climax. We were the doctor, and the midwife, but darned if we'll serve as wet nurse! It’s a woodpile nigger, and we repudiate it. It doesn’t look like, sound like nor act like us, and we wash our hands of it, herewith and vy pe £ tho it take all the perfumes of Araby and Senegam- bia combined to restore their aroma of good sense and fair dealing. Mr. Basil Manly’s suggestion for a conference by capital, labor and pub- lic promised much, and this paper urgently favored it, seeing in it a pos- sibility of devising measures to some- what quiet the industrial unrest. We had the public with us, hopefully, from the start, and finally, President Wilson, who set October 6th for the PRES. WILSON ROOND TABLE- conference. Moreover, so much did the president think of the idea, that, when the railroaders and steel work- ers were becoming more and more restless, he appealed to them, as patriots and good citizens, to post- ne strikes until this amicable meet- ing of capital, labor and the public could be held. Thru recommendation of the Unit- ed States Chamber of Commerce, Wilson publicly named representa- tives for capital. Then, upon congul- tation with the head of the American Federation of Labor, he named rep- resentatives of labor. One Thing Certain . There is one thing certain about labor in this country It will not take any steps backward. Organized Ameri- workers have made much headway in respect of hours, oy working conditions, and the right of collective bar- gaining during and since the war. There is no indication other time in the near future. p viduals, are attempting to stir up trouble by a powerful Propaganda in favor of a step backward by labor—the so- ‘The individuals are paying for half-page advertisements in hewspapers and magazines. Everybody knows the definitions given these words by advocates, first of the one side, then of the other. Ex-President Taft used to be a lawyer and a judge. used to be an “open shopper.” He ments. But when war broke out, Taft became one of the it chairmen of the war labor board. He had a lot of ience with workers and working conditions at first- hand. Maybe he saw a new light. Maybe he didn’t. rey. here, in substance, is a remark recently attributed im: “T used to think ‘open shop’ meant what it said. to think it meant free and equal opportunity worker. I know better now. I know it means for everybody but the union man. It means out. The folks who are urging labor to take a step backward hhad better save their breath, time and money. I used keeping him Attention of the senate is called to the fact that D’An- nunzio has just put across an amendment to the work of the peace conference. “Baker supports present system of courts-martial!” So go the headlines. Then, in the news-story, is told how the War secretary approved the recent report of Maj. Gen Kernan, upholding the ancient system of “military justice that has created more disgust in our army, and among the * families of fighting men, than any other feature of Ameri- ean military life, | The way Gen. Kernan went about getting material for his report is characteristic. Two hundred and twenty-five “officers” were circularized. They were asked to tell what they thought of the system. But was there a private asked to tell what he thought? Nary a private! This fact in itself is further grounds for the charge that it is the courts-martial—composed of officers, absolutely at the dis- cretion of officers, with no power of review over them, and with no representation, by jury or otherwise, of the rank and file—that are the basis of an un-democratic and un- American caste system in the army. The interests that are doing the most kicking about Japan's policy in China are the ones most eagerly in favor of annexing Mezico. : Iadendorff’s book proves conclusively that all of Ger- many’s great men were at fault except Ludendorff. After all, there isn’t much we can say to D’Annunzio after letting Rumania get away with it. Some men have an idea that industrial democracy means a desk job for everybody. ‘ Mezican bandits have much to learn from U.

But there was to be a com- mittee of the public, important be- sause representing the vast body of dead or dying in the battles between capital and labor, impartial because not directly interested in pocket, clear of vision because not threaten- ing lockout or strike. A halo of hope really seemed made to order for that committee of the public. We felt real good. We felt we had, in partic- ular, fostered and entertained an en- terprise for genuine common good. Modesty alone prevented our claim- ing chief part in the parentage of this child of Mr. Basil Manly’s mind.
