CRISIS CONFRONTING NATION AND OR
GANIZED LABOR—That the nation is con
fronted with the most serious strike condition is
plainly evidenced in the published statement of
labor leaders and the plain ‘instructions given
members of railway unions with regard to con
servation of their finances and procurement of
food supplies. No period in the history of labor
Unions has been more critical than the present,
despite the fact that for several years past now
labor has received better pay and had secured
for itself better working conditions. A condition
has been created suddenly through a system of
deflation both in the values of commodities and
the demand for labor, engineered by the owners
of swollen fortunes, made through the exigencizs,
of war, which places organized labor throughoeut
the country on the defensive and causes =very
craft to make a common cause against a coramon
enemy. Non-union workers, of which theie are
probably an equal number, should realize thut
their own wages are based upon those paid the
organized section of the working people. It is
deplorable that men will find themselves in a
position where they must step into other men’s
jobs to secure the necessities of life for them
selves and their families,
Ii the advantages gained for labor in the past
shall be maintained by them and for them, a bet
ter understanding must be reached between the
organized and unorganized members of labor
There are jobs enough to go around if the worlds
necds are to be supplied. So long as there are
people underclothed and underfed, and millions
are in this condition throughout ‘this country
and other countries, there is no overproduction.
The forced unempioyment of the masses causes
a condition of underconsumption which only
a more scientific system of distribution can cure.
It is this system which calls for the close co-op
eration of the producers of all commodities, be
they produced on the farm or in the factory and
both of these elements of production need the
close alignment with the distributive agencies,
the railways of the country. Strikes do not rem
edy these conditions they aggravate them, but
to labor there is left no other weapon, when
fighting singlehanded. That the condition is
serious we quote from a reported statement of
President Jewell of the Railway Unions to their
members:
“But, with our conclusions firmly fixed in
mind, we hold it the duty of each individual
member to ‘in time of peace prepare for war’
and each of you are, therefore, requested to
carefully conserve your personal finances, secure
supplies of food, clothing, fuel and other house
hold necessities, and, further, we hold it to be
the duty, and we hereby direct, that each local
lodge of each affiliated organization conserve its
finances, by carefully guarding its expenditures,
and also that the funds of the local lodges, dis
trict system councils, joint protective boards and
system federations, be increased to the greatest
possible extent by a method most acceptable to
the membership, with the further specific direc

.._,.s <7 A CURIOUS DREAM
i & A“ I dreamed one night, as fellers
{ g gL | 'will when everything around is
, o still, an’ what I saw it seemed
'? to me, was true to life as it could(
ey $” be. |
k\c‘ “.j It pleased me lots, to realize
o that I’d been wafted to the skies,
where everything was bright an” fair, with music
soundin’ everywhere. '
Each buddin’ flower an’ shinin’ face that filled
the mighty boundless space, was chattin’ chords
so powerful sweet, I really never seen the beat!
I told an angel, standin’ near, that 1 lived in
’another sphere, an’ bein’ a stranger thataway, I
couldn’t think of much to say . ... an’ while I
stood to watch it all, I felt concerned, for fear I'd
fall.
The angel saw that I was scared, an’ told me
not be afeared, remarkin’ as he took my arm, that
heaven was mighty free of harm.
“This home of ourn”, he says to me, “was built
to last eternally. It’s underpinned with love of
God, an’ latticed with the chastenin’ rod; the
‘mortar mixed with blood an’ tears—it ort to
stand a billion years. . . . . I reckon you would
never guess that heaven is built on man’s dis
tress, an’ gained by one, unfailin’ plan—~THE
GOOD-WILL OF YER FELLER-MAN ... .”
... T waked at early dawn of day, an’ hated
that 1 couldn’t stay,—so I resolved, right then
an’ there, to treat my friends and neighbors
square.

COMPLETE THE MUSCLE SHOALS PRO
JECT—From Progressive Farmer Farmers
throughout ‘the nation and especially in the South
are watching with great interest the outcome of
Henry Ford’s offer to take over the Government
power plant at Mussle Shoals, Alabama. When
first advised of the cost of completing the pro
ject, many were doubtful if it could be made to
pay a reasonable return on the investment. But
‘when Henry Ford with his generally recognized
business genius thought enough of it to make a
definite offer, confidence was restored and a na
tion-wide interest revived.
Farmers' organizations have taken a definite
hand in urging Congress o complete the Mussle
Shoals undertaking. The American Farm Bu
reau Federation sent a special committee to
Mussle Shoals to see what had beem done and
what could be done. After a careful investiga
tion the committee reported unanimously in
favor of the completion of the project. Since
that time the American Farm Bureau Federation
and other organizations have urged upon Gov
ernment officials the necessity for completing
the plant and making arrangements for its op
‘eration.
~ Regardless of what responsible man or body of
men may secure the contract, the fact that the
project should be completed stands out more
prominently than ever. As originally planned
this plant was to have served in time of war. Its
utilization for commercial purposes in -times of
peace will not interfere with its use for war pur
poses in the event of that necessity.” As it stands,
a great natural resource is going to waste. Sev
eral millions have been spent. That, too, will be
wasted unless the job is finished. Let’s put up
the money to finish thé job, salvage a big war
loss and put a great natural resource to work
gathering nitrogen from the air and furnishing
cheap power for further economic development.
