Show TWO BIG EVENTS IN LOEAN LAST WEEK Distinguished Speakers At Both Meet; ings. 'Questions Effecting To Well Being of the Country Handled in An Intelligent Way. & v.? ; Thero havo been two big cvento of conscqucnco In Logan during the past week, events which represent Interests nnd principles which will go far towards stabilizing conditions nnd assisting to biiug about a letgn of peace nnd good will, providing tiio hands that guldo both. Interests are carefuL considerate and Imbued with the spirit of 100 per cent American-Ism. American-Ism. Tho first was the meeting nnd banquet ban-quet of tho Associated Industries of the state, at which Judge Frlck and Mr. Will C-, Fan ell wero tho principal princi-pal speakers, and tho other was ito meeting and banquet of tho Carpenter's Carpen-ter's union, nt which Judge Webe: was tho principal speaker. Judgo Frlclc and Mr. Far roll made characteristic talks, bot)i being1 In fine form and fe'ttlo and fairly stirred their hearers with patriotic words and tlmoly utterances. As we Interpret Inter-pret t rlehedlfufrce pret their definition of Associated Industries as now organized from thn addresses they made, and latter through personal conversation with Judgo Frlck, Associated Industries stand for what General Leonard Wood stood for atT3ary at the tlmo ot tho recent stetD strike. When tho general reached Gary the leader ot the brotherhood called upon him nnd naked htm what they could expect, to which tho general roplied "I am hero on behalf ot the United States to seo that every man who wants to work shall work and that overy man that docs not want to work shnll, refrain re-frain from working if wo have to shoot tho offender on tho spot." And as we Interpret tho Bubstance of thti Carponter yn(o, as , reflected Iby the many fine utterances 'of Judge Weber, as well as otheis of tho via lllng and local members It may be summed up In tho icply of tho leader lead-er of tho brotherhood to Geucial Wood who said: "Hoys, we are going go-ing to get a squafc deal." Judgo Frlck dcclaied that the right to strike, tho right to leave the. Job Is an American right; against which no man has tho right to object, ob-ject, but when one strikes, wheb r'e leaves his job it Is an American piln-ciplo piln-ciplo that that peisja no longer '.rs ntliold ou his Job, nnd that the employer em-ployer should then have, and must have, tho right, tho American right, t) jeplaco the striker, to replace 'he rerson who has left tho . oh, wltl. an other- Iriespective of his union a(ll. iatlons. Judgo Weber declared for the right of peipetulty of tho union, and In making a fine appeal to tho brotherhood on behalf of education, he declared that tho carpenters had a great deal moro sense 'than the school tcaqhers becauso the carp Liters Li-ters belonged to a union and the school teachers did not. Those who had tho privilege of at tending' bpth mcotings wero fortunate, fortun-ate, and came away with a much be'-tcr be'-tcr undcrtsandlng ot the alms nnd Intentions In-tentions ot both organizations. Now If both will work nlong purely Amei lean lines, will grant to each otho' the rights vouchsafed under the co stltutlon, wo see no reason why both cannot gtt nlong In harmony and good will, V We do not want our readers to got tho notion that the Associated In lus-trles lus-trles organization Is ngalnst- organization, organi-zation, against unions, or ri3atn.1t r. man or a set of men 'standing. up f'ii a full measuie of their Just dues, becauso as wo udoi stand It this or-ganlzatlou or-ganlzatlou does not take any such a stand. As wo understand it this organization or-ganization stands for organization for unions, but It likewise stands for liberty ou, 11 sides, and says that when a union strikes and leaves the Job It has no further claim on the Job, and that tho employer Is not ob llgated In tho least, that his citizenship citizen-ship Is not tainted, that his Amerl-canlsm Amerl-canlsm is not at all diluted If ho goos out into the "market and flili the Job with non-union labor, or with such other labor as he himself may determine It grants to labor Itv organization, Its freo will and right to act and dccldo to work or not to work, but it retains that sacred and American prlvilogo to Itself and to the employor just as It grants it to labor. But on tho other hand we do not wafft our rpadora to get the Idea that the Carpenter's Union Is against tlu right of Industry to organize. We believe wo nro safe in saying that this union fieely grants such right, that It Is thoroughly American, wants a square deal only, and will stand to th Inst ditch for "equul rights to 1 all and special privileges to nono.'Vi'' |
