Judge Oary of steel trust fame
fea ibeen talking again and on his
favorite toplo, the labor unions. "We
te not combat labor unions as sneh,M
ays the Judge. "We, of course, ac
knowledge the natural right of labot
to organise. We stand for the open
hop, which permits a man to work
-when and where he pleases, on terms
Mutually agreed upon, whether he
aloes or does not belong to the
onion. Our men generally do not be
Soag to labor unions because they
know by long experience It is to their
advantage to be free from dictation
f outsiders; that they are receiving
mm Urge, or larger compensation, and
ma good, or better . conditions for
themselves and their families as
would be prorlded unler labor union
domination." All of this Is highly
eunuslng to those who know the con
ditions which prevailed In the steel
mills before the laborers, by organis
ing, forced the first . Improvements.
This fight for betterment was financ
ed and made by" the union men
Alone, although their, ncn-unlon
brothers, who would not submit to
"dictation by outsiders," were per
fectly willing to accept a share of
the benefits. Mr. Gary's statement,
however, is Interesting because It
hows the trend of modern Industry.
Labor unions may be made unneces
sary by giving the laborers their Just
deserts, fro why pay dues to an or
ganisation that has nothing to right
forf This change of front 'on the
part of the worst enemy' of union
labor is significant, for certainly the
steel corporation tried the blackjack
long enough before they . took the
kindness route.
But little real news drifts In from
Germany these days. The newspapers
carry dispatches of the latest politi
cal moves, but we learn very little of
the Gretohena and Johanna who
were, a few months ago, . bending
their every energy to save tha world
to Germany. A recent editorial In
Machinery give the following !
ture of 1920 Industrial conditions In
the land from which the kaiser fled:
"There has been a mental and moral
collapse In Germany since the war.
Life la viewed with Indifference and
it Is as if the whole people suffered
from a mental fever that must run
Its course. The attitude of the work
ers In Industry Is one of apathy.
Living costs are 10 times what they
were before the war. rood Is scarce
and food eards are still used. The
attitude of labor and the shortage of
raw material make the Industrial sit
uation bad. Strikes are the order of
the day. Production per man is low.
Coal, Iron, ateel and' cotton are lack
ing. Transportation conditions are
bad. Everything looks neglected
everything Is permitted to run down
shiftlessly. The uncertainty of tae
indemnity has something to do with
this. There Is a feeling that what
ever Is produced will go towaid the
Indemnity. :
Since the escape of the two con
victs from the state road tamp at
Tecumseh, Governor MoKelr'.a has
announced that something of the sort
was expected and that no change
would be made In the honor system.
All of which shows the governor to
possess a broad point of view. It
also Indicates that until eonvleti ap
preciate privileges given thrtn, ' It
would be well to. see that competent
guards are hanging around In con
venient places, so that those who are
tempted to violate their pledges will
have an opportunity to change their
minds before they leave tht honor
camp too. far behind. Slnco Gover
nor McKelvle himself interviewed
the men who were pu ton their
honor, no wonder he refuses to ad-,
mlt tha this Judgment could : have
been wrong. Why on ea.rt wasn't
this left up to Warden Fenton, who
knows criminals and who is in a po
sition to sort out the trustworthy?
Opposition has developed to the
plans of the meter-llter-gram enthu
siasts, who seek to have congress
enact legislation making the metric
system compulsory throughout the
United States. Strangely enough,
this opposition, comes from a techni
cal magazine, Power-Plant Engineer-

It is necessary for us to make a trip to the dump grounds

change will entail considerable ex
pense. Think of all the factories In
the United States which are . not us
ing the English-French system,' and
compute the cost of changing shop
tools, Jigs, dies and other Instru
ments over to conform to the re
quirements of another system. " It's
Just about as sensible a stunt as forc
ing everyone In the United States to
learn to speak Esperanto.
The Unitde States Is again faced
with an Immigration problem, ; fol
lowing the war. Immigrants are
eomlng In as fast as the ships will
bring them. Already nearly alx hun
dred thousand aliens have applied for
permission to come to this country;
during the past month the number
has exceeded ten thousand weekly,
and all records will be broken unless
aome restrictions are Imposed. The
problem, of course, Is to decided
whether all comers shall be admitted
and allll a greater problem is their
edueatlon and employment after arri
val. Opinions differ on the subject.
There are plenty of Jobs for unskill
ed workers, especially In eastern fac
tories and on western farms, to say
nothing of the big road'eonstruction
projects. Other countries are mak
ing a bid for Immigrants, Argentina
giving them free land, Bratil pays
their passage and gives them free
transportation to their work; Chile
offers a hundred acres of land and
an assortment of agricultural Imple
ments and New Zealand has arrang
ed for reduced fares. The United
States gets the bulk, without offer
ing any particular inducement "
President Wilson has exercised
the "pocket veto" on eleven bills
passed during the closing days on
congress, on the ground that they
did not reach him in time for proper
consideration. He found time, how
ever, to approve flrty-elght, and some
of those, which he was unable to con
sldei; were most Important, It seems
strange that a politician would not
take time, for Instance, to approve
a resolution authorizing the appoint
ment of a committee to confer with
the Canadian government -with re
gard to restrictions on nuln wood
coming to the United States. With
every newspaper paying robber
prices for print paper, one would
think that the leader of all the dem
ocrats would hardly care to alap the
publicity Interests of his coutitry in
the face.
It's no wonder marriage Is a lot
tery when so many people even meet
by chance.
