SAM TEL (JOMI'ERS is wrong.'. The great danger to organized la
bor is not from without but from within. Its salvation does not
depend upon victory over its enemies, but victory over itself. That
imeient wheeze about plutocratic reaction, has lost its potency, A
gigantic offensive against organized labor is undoubtedly under way,
but its defeat is possible,' not through li counter offensive, but through
H strategic retreat, and a realignment of labor policies on an entirely
different plane. ' ' ' '
Samuel (Junipers is a fighter. Through fighting lie has broiighl
the American labor movement from weakness and obscurity, to one
of l!iegrealesl forces in the Jiody politic today. But this succession
of successes, produced it succession of excesses.' Victory went to Or
ganized labor's head. ' Anil labor's record of the past few years, with
its peisistent denjiind for shorter hours and higher pay. with its dix
positii n to siieril'ice the public welfare to selfish gain, through boycott
and strike, finally produced a popular prejudice against labor, which
is its supreme danger today. ' -.,
'
. Now is the time to cull a halt. ,N'ow is the time for conciliation and
concession, because' with the temper of the country what it is, such
a course done can avert disaster. Not only disaster to organized he
hor. but disaster to the coiuitry at large.- ;
It is not easy to change the habit of a life time. That is why it is
doubtful if Mr. Oompeis, in spile of his essential conservatism, and
moderation, is the man to lead organized labor, as it should 'be led
today. A younger man. with more modern vision is needed, lint,
theie is only one chance in u million of Hindi leadership being iiUaiucd.
If (Jumpers falls, all signs point to tin! scepter waving in'the hands
of the radical agitators, the very eaianiily which (Jumpers has fought
so hard to avoid. . ' '
J
This does jiot menu the "responsibility for the present situation,1
falls entirely upon the shoulders of labor. The same spirit of the
ptiblic-be-dnmiicd is active in the ranks of capital. But it does mean'
that public opinion, which is the determining force in all such mat
ters, is now so constituted, that labor must take I he initiative, in re
eonstnielioii and readjustment, if any immediate improvement is to
be attained.
This involves no abandonment of labor rights. It merely means
the abandonment of labor wrongs, Labor must conic to see that the
policy of imposing the closed shop upon American industry, is not
only poor business for capital, but poor. business for labor; that to de
cree none but n union man can work, is as indefensible and un-demo-eralie,
as to decree no union man can work. ,
In other words the industrial situation lias come lo an impasse,,
with extremists in control on both sides, and unless there is to be in-'
duBt rial war, both sides must yield. ' But because of the psychologi-,
cal situation, the best strategydroni the standpoint of labor's self-in:.
terest is to yield first. The immediate welfare of the-labor move-'
ment, in our judgment depends upon whether or not, the leaders of-
labor accept this view point or reject it.

costly palace was none too goodor me. And grandma, in her
sweater, backed aunt, and said, "Tut; Tut! You should have
something belter, why live in t)iis punk, hut?" My niece in-;

Medford the Qom
(With ttpologies to other Billing poets)
Medford, the beautiful gem.
Set in tho diadem
Of the beautiful Hogue Kivcr valley,
Is the fairest town
There is uroun'
Set 'em n;i In the oilier alley.
Where years ago,
You could stump your toe,
On boulders lu the street
When they weren't covered In a muddy
sea,
To trap you and me t
When we tried lo meet.
When Illll Core rulsed wheat
Tu mako bread for us to eat,
Ami Old Kick still ran a hardware
store.
And IXic Keone ran for council,
And wore a flower lu his cout.
And stood around and swore.
And Vern Ynwtor was a kid
Working lu the bank be did (not)
Shorty Harnett wasn't here.
At tho old corner plaeo (Mala and
Front)
You could fill your face
With real old mule-kicking beer.
Then camo a day,
When we got P. J. '
When the orchards all wore sick.
And tractors were none,
And we farmed for fun,
It wasn't much of a trick.
And no?v spring Is hero,. i .
And there Isn't any beer'
For hero Is just tho bitch
There's water galore,
More than we eVer hud before,
And angle worms drown lu the ditch.
And Bear Creek Is full
That Is no bull
Dashing, slashing, sparkling, swirling.
The crick is sure up,
You can now drown a pup,
Roaring and boring and purling.
Hut Modford's tho gem,
In the whole dlndom.
And I look In my glass and smile,
(It's n looking glass now.)
And I tonst Medford, "How!"
She's the best littlo town In a mile.
P. S. 1 can writ many inure like
above ir you ask me.
