Sayfc 'Certain Employers
Want Laws That Would
Establish Group
Slavery
Jamestown, N. Y. "The great
American labor movement must pre
vent the enactment of laws which will
prohibit a group of individuals from
ceasing work when they so desire.
The fact that we can cease work as
a group stamps us free men." That
was the declaration of Frank Morri
son, secretary of the American Feder
ation of Labor, at a meeting of repre
sentatives of labor and other citizens
in this city, among them the mayor, a
clergyman and business men. After
ward he spoke at the Eagles' temple
free forum, and upon invitation of
the pastor of one of the leading
churches of the city addressed a large
congregation in the edifice. "There
was a time," said Secretary Morri
son, addressing the citizens' meeting,
"when I thought that if organized
^ibor ever had a million members it
would have accomplished a great
achievement, but in my 25 years of
service I have seen it grow from
240,000 to more than four millions.
No other organization has done more
to bring about good will among man
kind than the labor union."
Asking those who are not members
of labor organizations to judge the
labor movement by its icjealg, by its
achievements for the good of human
ity and by the facts, the federation
secretary declared:
"There i^ at present going on one
sxi the greatest conspiracies that ever
existed. Starting before the armis
tice, it has for its purpose the elec
tion of congressmen and legislators
to enact laws to impede the progress
of the labor movement. The Declara
tion of Independence says that we are
all born free and equal, with certain
inalienable^ rights—life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness. All are en
titled to liberty, workers as well as
financiers and lawyers.
"What certain employers want is
legal machinery to prohibit us from
ceasing work to establish group slav
ery by compulsory labor. They have
already started to do it with indus
trial court laws, injunctions, incorpor
ation laws and compulsory arbitration
Group slavery is not new. It was
tried four thousand years ago ir
China. As a ti-ade union we are op
posed to any law which prohibits an
individual or a group of wovkers from
ceasing work. The American Feder
ation of Labor is opposed to compul
sion of any kind which limits human
freedom."
Reciting the history of compulsory
arbitration in Australia, New Zealand
and Canada, showing that these laws
had no effect in preventing strikes
because the strikes resulted from
efforts of employers to break the spirit
of the workers by enacting "can't
strike" laws, the speaker declared:
"We are having a crisis in this
country which we must meet.' We are
going to meet it and we are going
to march forward step by step. The
result of the movement to destroy
labor unions has been to increease
their membership. The labor move
ment wants to see the time when the
highest ideals of man will be prac
ticed by our government and by the
workers of our country the labor
movement wants to see the time when
all the boys and girls in this nation
will have an equal opportunity for
an education and training to enable
them to do their share of the world's
work."

MOSSES AID FEE AGENTS
Sacramento, Cal.—In 1921 $1,154,46$
in fees was collected by private em
ployment agencies in this state from
workers seeking jobs. The state oper
ates free employment agencies. Em
ployers favor the fee agencies because
they are safe recruiting stations for
strikebreakers. Besides, the fee is
taken from the worker. The legisla
ture has been urged to abolish the
fee agencies "as a disgrace to the
state."

%0RK NEVER WELL RECEIVED
Biography of a Man by His Wife, er
the Reverse, Fails to Satisfy
v
the Publie.
ftowhere in English is there, I
think,
a good biography of a man by his
wife. On the whole, husbands have
perhaps done rather better than their
wives. At once comes to mind Car
lyle on Jane Welsh but even fiere at
tention finally rests not upon the wife,
but upon the husband In his gloom
after her death, writes Wilbur Gross
In the Yale Review.
I remember quite well, too, the "im
pressionistic portrait" which Profes
sor Palmer drew of his wife, Alice
Freeman. He called It "a personal
estimate, an evolutional study." But
here, again, there was eventually too
much of the husband and his sabbati
cal years when he and his' wife tra
versed Europe.
What Professor Palmer and others
have attempted cannot be done. Wives
and husbands cannot be ontspoken of
one another in print.
Sometime, no doubt, the existiug re
straint will be removed from their
pens, and then we shall have some en
tertaining biographies. In the mean
time, any one who desires may read in
a privately published volume Ladv
Lytton's highly spiced comment on
her husband, the novelist, or what
Pepys put down in cipher after quar
rels with his wife—whose nose he
tweaked on two occasions and who In
turn threatened to pinch his with red
hot tongs. This is what we shall get

S0APMAKING IN DAYS OF OLD
Hogs and Ashes Utilized to Good Ad
vantage
During
When the hogs were butchered for
the yearly supply of meat the house
wife carefully cleaned and washed the
entrails and salted them down until
Soapmaking time. Also all scraps of
meat and rinds were saved to be used.
When the ashes were removed from
the fireplace during rhe winter months
they were placed in a large hopper
built for that purpose and kept care
fully covered until about a week be
fore the time for making soap. Then
the children would carry water each
day and pour over the ashes and start
the "hopper to running" to make tlie
lye for the soap.
When enough lye had run to
the soap it was placed in a large ket
tle over an outdoor fire and boiled ufi
til it became strong enough to "cut a
feather." Then the soap grease was
put in and the mixture kept at the
boiling point and stirred continuously
until the lye had eaten all the grease
and the mixture had become a thick,
soft mass of soap.
The soap was placed in barrels and
used for lautidry purposes.
Albanian Humor.
An Albanian barber shop, were
there any, would have periodical va

during the new moon, lesr it turn

traveler that his mustache was white

waited until the moou was on the
wane to trim his hair.
The things that people laugh at
might readily be considered an Index

the cause of his merriment. A typical
