For ten months there has been a mo3t desperate effort made right here in Salt Lake City to destroy this prounion, princigressive, business-lik- e pally by men who do not understand and are not familiar with these facts. At every turn this organization has consistently and vigorously, opposed and fought every radical and unwise the working movement affecting classes in this section. Both in the labor organizations and in public it has successively' opposed and condemned the proposed coalition between the Utah labor movement and the radical socialists; the 1. W. W.; the one big union, the transplanted soviets, and every other exotic movement not founded on the sound philosophy of peaceful and harmonious relations between employers and employees upon the basis of such application of the golden rule as presen-- t-day practicalities permit. WHY THE OPPOSITION? Why should there be determined opposition to such an organization? While there has been the most des- perate fight against this conservative voluntary association of workingmen during the past ten months, there has not in all that time been one word or charge against the Typographical Union. On the contrary, the very employers chiefly responsible for this unfair struggle have, in the meetings of the Utah Associated Industries and in' the public press, made statements absolving the union from objectionable features it was always true to its agreements, avoided trouble and never broke a contract. United States of America The boasts of being the first and greatest How can democracy in the world. that boast be sustained if even the most conservative workingmen are denied the slightest say in the rules and conditions under which they shall deliver their labor, even when such labor involves the more or less constant risk of health, life and limb? While this conservative labor organization daily meets the struggle forced upon it, it is faced with tlie unreasoning opposition of employers whose in- terests it has always jealously and zealously protected, and must, at the same time submit to the galling jibes of less conservaof fellow-unionistive policy as to the utter failure of its What has conservatism. They say: it profited you to oppose the 0. B. U. and the I. W. W.? Employers fight you harder than they ever dared fight ts the radicals! While there have from time to time been scares in this country as to the designs and possible execution of the plans of the radicals, these groups have never attained really menacing proportions. The real danger will come to this nation when the thoughtful, considerate, conservative leaders of the workers become thoroughly convinced that there is no possibility of a sane working agreement with capital that will permit of uninterrupted operation of the industries with reasonable protection to the rights of employer and employee alike. THERE LIES THE REAL DANGER AND ITS COMING IS BEING. HASTENED BY JUST SUCH UNFAIR AND INSANE CONFLICTS AS THAT UNWISELY FORCED UPON THE MOST CONSERVATIVE OF ALL UNIONS THE PAST YEAR. Are you hastening the coming of that time by word or deed? SALT LAKE TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. 311 Scott Bldg. Phone: Was. 7762. (Adv.) VOTERS MUST CHOOSE EITHER REPUBLICAN OR DEMOCRATIC PARTY. within bounds when I say that no Congress in time of peace has ever shown such an amount of important, effective and remedial legislation as has been enacted by the present Congress since it has been in session. The senator reviewed the accomplishments of the executive branch of the government and the financial administration of public affairs, which has resulted in the increase of the value of all government bonds and brought about a vastly Improved change for the better in the business l ; - i- i , .i, f : world. He then took up the history of the conference for limitation of armament, to which he was an official del- egate representing the United States government. His review of the work of this conference was extensive and authoritative. He paid a very high tribute to Secretary Hughes as chairman of the delegation and to his oiuer colleagues. Senator Lodge, Republican leader in the United States senate, delivered what is conceded to be the keynote speech of the approaching congressional campaigns in an address before the members of the Massachusets legislature. The address was a masterful one, reviewing what has been accomplished during the past year by both the executive and legislative branches of the Republican administration, senator Lodge opened his speech with a very pertinent point: that the choice which lies before the voters next autumn is not between the Republican .. party and some ideal organization which never makes a mistake, which pleases everybody, an organization which has never yet existed and never will exist. The choice before us is much simpler and very different it is a choice between the Republican party and the Democratic party. Those two parties in a practical way are all you have to choose between. Therefore, what the Democratic organization has done and promises to do is that with which the comparison must be made, in determining show to vote. The second point is this; The Democratic organization in Congress and elsewhere has been filling the air with the cry that this is a do nothing congress. It is easily said and Its ease commends itself, of course, to Democratic intelligence, on which it is not wise to put too severe a strain. Senator Lodge proceeded then to show that, notwithstanding the Democratic claim that this is a do nothing Congress, the Republicans have been so active in enacting legislation that the Democrats have arranged an organized filibuster and obstruction to all legislative proposals and are using every artifice of delay to waste time between now and the congressional elections, a thing which they would hardly do if this were in fact a do nothing Congress. Senator Lodge proceeded to enumerate what had been accomplished by the Republican Congress and to elaborate upon each important piece df legislation enacted by the Congress, and in conclusion he said: I know that I am speaking well After reviewing the conference In detail, Senator Lodge said: It was a magnificent work. It will relieve the burden of taxation and promote the peace of the world, and we all owe this to the wisdom of President Harding in summoning the conference. It was a great service, in my opinion, to the peace of the world and is an integral part of the principles which have guided the President throughout his year in oflce. He has been devoting himself and his administration to the utmost in an effort to improve the conditions left by the war. His dominant impulse is to try to make the world, so far as he can, a better place for men and women to live in. This has been behind all his domestic policies and this was the moving influence in his call for the conference. When the Democratic party says that the Republican party, which has not yet been in power for one year, has done nothing, and after you review what the Congress has accomplished, then call attention to this conference, where more has been done in twelve weeks for the worlds peace than has been done anywhere else in twice as many years. LIKE SPOILED CHILDREN. Imagine the thrill that came to Wesley Syco of West Virginia, the other he took his day, when at forty-sevefirst train ride, his first street . car ride and saw his first circus. We sort of envy Wesley Syco. Most of us have been living in wonderland so long we get no thrills out of it. We lift to our lips a small instrument and speak to a friend miles away. We press a button and flood our homes with light. We journey through the skies or under the seas. But, unmoved, we take all this magic for granted like spoiled children with too many toys. n, know of no important railway company controlled by bankers. I Mortimer L.
