Samuel Compere and Frank Mor rison, president and secretary re spectively of the American Federa tion of Labor, addressed mass meet ings recently to protest against "the nation-wide open shop movement." Mr. Gompers said he believed that "the American people who did so much to defeat military autocra cy in the last war w ill not now con- sent to the substitution in the United States of an industrial autocracy." "Equal opportunity before the law, before government and in the democratic production of industry that is what we demand and nothing less will satisfy labor. These men talk about "equal op portunity' before the law, industrial autocracy and democratic produc tion." Would either Gompers or Morri- son allow any free born American citizen to work at his trade beside one of their union members if he did not have a card in the same union? No, they would let him starve in the street or call a strike if an em ployer put him to work. Is this a sample of equal opportunity which they cry about? Is this democratic production? Or is it real labor au tocracy? Let Mr. Gompers or Mr. Morrison answer. Would they allow a man to work in a so-called union shop without a card? Is it any wonder the American people are backing the open shop movement when they realize that the closed shop program denies the primary rights guaranteed every in dividual by the constitution and about which Mr. Gompers likes to prate. Belonging to a union should bt nejther a bar nor a requisite to se curing employment. The principle of labor unionism is fine and can ac complish much good but the de mands of labor autocracy are vi cious. The public is not against the laboring man, it is against the la bor dictators who exploit both the laborer and the public. Slats' Diary. By Ross Fakquhar. V!5 leveling process tends to discourage the best minds, while it brines to the material, of which thef,ont the untraineJ. Efficiency and economy call for the payment of adequate compensation to the highly skilled in any line of activity, and proportionately lower pay to the apprentices and the un skilled. In other words, the best re sults in teaching will not be obtained until there is more spread in salaries which automatically gives the induce ment to enter the profession, to rise in it, and to make it a life calling Give Us Something Snappy, Doc! This Prof. Einstein person who has come from Germany to visit us is the famous astronomer and math ematician who has recently sensa tioned the world by giving it the the ory, or law, of "relativity." Rela tivity means that time and space is not infinitive that there really is an end to space and that there will be an end to time. But this editor can't exactly get it. Suppose you travel out in space in a straight line for a thousand mil lion miles, and then another million billion miles and then a billion tril lion miles, and finally run up against the Dr. Einstein end of space. What is beyond that? If it's a wall, what's beyond that wall? If it black noth ingness, how far does that black nothingness extend, and then what's beyond that? Suppose you think of a future in time of which science savs is more than the FrLLiy a bewtiful dav.

Thursday Washed teeth agen. school authorities maintain that the salaries are very low, and many men of affairs hold but do not urge the point publicly for fear they will be considered old fogies that they are hidi, on the average. Is not the real fact that the condi- j tion in regard to salaries here is much the same as prevailed in all in dustry through the war period? The demand has been greater than the upplv and consequently there has been little distinction between the skilled and the unskilled. Girls with verv limited training and less exper ience have received greater compen sation than they could have obtained in other lines of work, their pay has been very high. Trained teachers, who have made a srudv of this most important voca tion and have given years to prepara tion, can get little more than their roorlv qualified competitors.

The motor-driven machinery in busy factories would come to a standstill. The many little power-driven contrivances which ndd to the convenience of your shop or home would be useless. Even the lights by which you work and play would be snuffed out. Yet the great service rendered by the Light and Pow er Company is too often forgotten. It has become so much a part of our everyday life that it is taken for grant ed. Onlv on the rare occasions when something goes wrong does the Light and Power Company receive even n passing thought; and that thought is perforce a damning one. In the light of actual facts, the Light and Power Com nanv takes on an entirely different aspect. Its welfare Is ami the welfare of the community as a whole are one and inseparable. The extent and character of the service it renders influences to a considerable degree the establish ment of new, industries. And the more widely that ser vice is used, the cleaner and brighter the community will become, for electrical power is clean power. Literary i Digest.
