Arbitration Hoards and tliis is said advisedly in all parts of the world liaive settled strikes at their inception, and avoided many hundreds of others by getting around the table before a sfr i ko was called.With mill the attempts of “reds” and others to disintegrate the great international movement, Labor has gone steadily ahead, and the virility in the movement hud the strength to dll in fou ml in most eases enemies, both seen and unseen.As Sum (tempers says the policy of evolution, does not work in tlie dark and Organized Labor is on that path.So then on this great «-elebration, fear not to be light of heart;, it will make you braver for the morrow and those that follow.Labor writer said uviiuig in 'a mile high at midnight.The following question stands out in the affairs of society and hohTfy do mantis an answer “How much more life, how much more welfare shall the worker have than they now have?shall the best tilings of life become a constant part of tho life of tho wort er’s world.’ How imuili lifo shall the workers get, for the life they give’ •lust after Labor Day last year the world was stirred up by the settle meut of i Tit- log 1'.S.emit strike, amt anxiety in most

MONTRE SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1st, 1923 LABOR DAY 1923 By FRANK MORRISON, Secretary, American'Federation uf Labor.On Labor Day, 1923, the organized workers are more conscious of their cause than ever before.There can be no substitute for trade unionism because it grows out of the needs and experiences and necessities of the workers.It is not an artificial creation, nor lias it been evolved from the brain of man.It is a natural grouping of wage workers who are cemented by the same ideals and longings, the same opposition to social injustice and the same desire to improve their status in life.Those who would destroy us fail to offer a substitute for trade unionism.They promise much, but would deny that unity of action that has been the worker's protection and his hope.In every instance the anti-unionist insists that he treat with workers as individuals.Occasionally, he forms a company “union’' and dictates who shall represent the employees.If the trade unions accept individual bargaining, they sign their death warrant, for it is idle to talk of unity between workers if they agree not to function as an organization.When the employer pleads for individual bargaining he strikes at the heart of trade unions.He would destroy the collective spirit of workers.He would make them impotent to correct injustice or protest against wrong.Collective bargaining means more than wages and hours.It is a unity that begets confidence and equips workers for every activity that should interest good citizens.W hen production was in the crude and laborious hand stage, individual bargaining would suffice.But not in an age oi machine production and absentee ownership.Despite the excuses that surround it, individual bargaining does not make for willing associates in industry.It develops autocracy at one end of production and dependents at the other end.11,11 u'liinti\ becomes more and more an industrial nation this problem becomes more acute.It attects every citizen, because there is no prospect of industrial harmony while captains of industry lively'*"1 * k11 iln*1 11111011 employees shall be denied the right to present grievances collec- js".citizen can escape the influence of this vicious system that often controls government, degrades tin- judiciary and denies constitutional rights to wage workers who would resist the serf practices of employers.This I In i< is no constructive programme more important than this demand of labor to control t uiiaiu is the lust essential in any policv that would bring industrial concord and socif

Full justice will yet be ours! Labor Stronger Today than Ever Hy JOHN L.LEWIS President, United Mine Workers of America.Labor Day once again reminds us of the greatness of the American labor movement.It is well that one day lias been set apart in each recurring year as a time when labor may pause and consider it aims, its purposes, its achievements, and its accomplishments.And it is gratifying to all of us that we may look hack over the years as they pass and count up the many benefits that have accrued to the workers and to the nation itself by reason of the existence of the trade union spirit in America.Let us remember that without organization labor would be helpless to express itself or to take its own part in the struggle against the forces that would destroy labor’s liberty.It is only through close, compact and virile organization and handing together for their mutual good that the workers get their strength to carry on this battle.The past year has been filled with trials and vicissitudes for organized labor.A constant and steady attack has been in progress, commanded by powerful interests and influences for the weakening or Ihe destruction of the labor movement.Every conceivable weapon and means of industrial warfare has been utilized by the attacking forces.Hut the flag of trade unionism still floats at the top of the must, unsullied and unafraid.Labor has lost skirmishes in the past year but it lias won the great battle for the maintenance of labor’s rights, until, today, it is stronger and more efficient than ever before in the history of the labor movement.Dur enemies have learned in the last year that organized labor cannot be destroyed.They have learned that the trade union is a le.'i'imatc institution and that the public has given its full approval t the idea.Wc have made progress — rich progress.What the next year may bring forth no one can forsee.But eanized labor stands in favor of peace in industry.Labor desires 1 peace which comes with honor and through tin* application of b principles of fairness and justice.Labor will do its part to establish and maintain that kind of peace.Let us all express here and now the hope that this wish may be 1'ilfilb‘d and that, the next, year may see the most cordial relations ctablished and maintained between employer and employe, so that in xt Labor Day may come with a cloudless industrial sky.MONTREAL JOCKEY CLUB AUTUMN MEETING BLUE BONNETTS RACE COURSE Steeple chasing and running races every day September 1st to September 10th MUSIC BY A SPLENDID BAND Hpocial trains leave C.P.R.Windsor station Saturday at 1.30 P.M.oiyllght Saving Time) othor days at 2.00 P.M.(Daylight Saving) ¦ Perlai stroot car sorvico from Mount-Royal Avo direct to tlio course, between 12.45 and 2.15 P.M.(Daylight Saving), Regular service at °thor hours.First Race, week days, 3.00 P.M.Saturday, 2.30 P.M.(Daylight) ; MISSION TO THE COURSE $2.00 — Plus Tax.AstheWorker ji sees his World | Summary and Digest of Important Events of the Week, Here and Abroad.«mjHœujjKjmmumttnttjmnœmm!

that European outlook is bad.— Does not mince matters about British labor and unemployment.— A powerful address, of sound sense.Despite the drenching rain of Tuesday night, Frank Hodges, thf \isitinj»* British labor loader, was greeted with a fair sized and-îence at the Assistance Public Hall.Air.Hodges had been heralded liing net ore Ins appearance on the platform, being fraternal delegate toi the British I rade Congress to the Trades Congress convention in Vancouver, and also Secretary of the Miner’s Federation of Britain.Furthermore Mr.Hodges who was the guest of Hie Montreal hades & Labor Council while in town had been widely announced m the press, both by extensive interviews and personal references.I lins, bad the weather man smiled, lie would undoubtedly have had a bumper bouse.Those who were not fortunate enough to hear him missed an intellectual treat, and a sound, sensible eexposilion ot the labor conditions m Britain, which naturally radiate in interest to Hie whole world.A large number of general officers and lenders in the International Labor Movement were on the platform.•I.I.hosier, President of the Montreal Trades & Labor Council was m the chair, end introduced Mr.Hodges with a glowing speeccli.As a clear direct thinker, Mr.Hodges went straight to bis subject, knowing lie was facing a lot of thinking people who came thereto hear something new.They were not disappointed.He said ÜEMANDEZ LA BIERE POPULAIRE ASK FOR THE POPULAR BEER MOLSON ¦¦ Brassée à Montréal depuii 137 ANS Brewed in Montreal ¦lnoe 137 YEARS AGAIN THE DRYS ARE BLAMED Honorable Manning Doherty, formerly Minister of Agriculture in the Drury government, in travelling through the Canadian West, lias been making some strange confessions, if ho is reported correct ly.In Regina, he is reported to have said, “Many factors contributed to the defeat of tlio Drury government in Ontario, and it is difficult to appraise the effect of each factor.” Continuing, tic said: “Wlicn we came into power there was on the statute hooks of tlio province a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors.During our administration we made a determined effort to administer Hint law vigorously and without four or favor.There was a certain very strong minority in the province which was opposed to prohibition, and this element felt that a new government by another party might make things easier for thorn to have this law changed.Wo did not get any support from those who aro antiprohibition.’ ’ No doubt Mr.Doherty is right, but it is a little late to come out with such excuses now.The Drury government was impracticable and that caused their downfall.A CALL TO PRINTING PRESSMEN Members of tlio Montreal Printing Pressmen’s Union, No.52, are requested t oattend the Labor Day parade, which will take place on Monday.Tlio rallying point will lie at tlio corner of Craig and Chenier streets, at 8.30 a.m., and then the members will march to, in tho ranks of tlio procession to which this Union is assigned.This invitation is addressed to all our members, whether in good, standing or not.So, make all passible efforts to bo present, and prove thereby that you are still a union man and sincere to tlio principles of organized labor.The next meeting of this Union will take place at their hall, 248 Et.James Street, Montreal, on Monday, September 10th, at 8 o’clock p.m.sharp, (daylight).“It is only when statemou can view international problems as a whole and contribute to principles tor tiio good of the whole, thut wo >hnll lie able to see a return of rea-sou and prosperity in Britain and in Europe.” Tihe outlook for Europe was sud, declared Mr.Hodges, sud ’1er for the Continent than for Bri tain herself which might in its de speral ion struggle out of the meshes.“The old would has struck a rock, tlic timbers of the hulk arc gradually breaking up.It wants somo senmnu’-ship to guide that old civilization ot that rock, and make Iter seaworthy.Tlie system responsible for wrecking tiie ship is not capable of salvaging it.It will he the labor movement of nil.countries that wiii lie required for I lie .salvaging of civilization.It is a task that cannot lie accomplished by mere oratory, but only with hard work and perseverance on the part of those who have given their lives to the task of saving civilization.There will lie no honor and glory for those iu that work.“Wc face tlio future at home, do spile all, with undaunted spirit.We will, not go under despite the gloom that Inis settled down upon Britain with a pilch-dike diurkpesn.There are bright spirits that are resolved to carry through until tlie dawn.” Tlie speaker then quoted figures to show the marked growth of tlie Labor movement in 20 years.Those included political progress for instance rrom receiving 02,000 votes iu 1000 to 4,450 (nut in 1022.'I tie trades unions were the rich, red blood of tlio Labor Party, but that diil not mean that they were not in need of more mouthers, in fact quite the e.onrnry, because men of all callings and professions had asked for admission to the Party, and hail been welcomed.According to tlie figures sufficient progress should lie made to placo tlio bailor Party in control by ]!)“(», but he feared a reaction, as there were many elements which were not sus cepliblc to arithmetic as a guide.“It may be that wo shall not bo the goveruimcnt in 1D2U, and I am not particularly anxious we should be.1 should like to go on until wo have another five or six years generally sound democratic education, since 1 am convinced of this, that, no demo eratic political movement can withstand the storm and stress of modern economic life that has not its'foundation rooted deep in tlie education of the people.The labor party may come to power on the wave of some popular omotion.Tlio government, may ilo something bud, very bad.It.would have to be mutch worse than it has done, bccauso 1 have not seen that wave of popular emotion, or the eeo nomic conditions would have to lie come so bad that tlie government would give up iu desplir of trying to bring order out of chaos.“We have to lie careful.We are ovotutionists.it is iu our being in the labor movement.Wo go steadily step by stop, and see that each step can bear the weight of our movement when tlio weight actually comes upon it.The heritage that we have in Britain and that would lie handed to the labor party in the next three years would be a heritage that would evoke the greatest and -most devoted piece of work that ever human beings have been called upon to perform.Sometimes one doubts that on undertaking it we should be able to maltam tlie loyalty of tlio 5 or (i or 10 million people who had put their trust in us to bring order out of chaos, a chaos created by tlio capitalistic world.I often say that education is the lever of all democratic movements.If you hav.o not education you have no democracy, and if you have not, yon have autocracy, and so you liavo a negation of tlie human spirit.Wo kuow that the multitude of men wo can mould will form the foundation upon which we can build in calmness and security the labor structure.1 know this is not pleasant, to those who believe that the labor movement could bo thrust into power upon some fleeting tide.When you have over forty seven witflion souls in your care you cannot afford to fiddle with the great laws of economies.’ ’ He then referred to Russia whose attitude toward British labor was not sympathetic.’l)|ieir outlook aud es settee was uuBritish and-different.“This lias been all fought out,” lie I said.It has been threshed out from beginning to end.The House of Com-1 minis debates show that, as well as the controversies of tlio trades uufuus and the Congress of Labor.We have invited believers in the Bolshevist theory to slate their cause against tlie British labor theory.1 have been called upon by my party to state the tilings against tlie Suv iet philosophy.I liavo been called upon to set out the theorcitienl differ ences between the Bolshevist and our const ituional theory of democracy Wc have parted on the best of terms, because if ideas cannot survive tu a Mmgglo of ideas then they deserve tu go under.Jf there ever comes » nio meut when the kumau mind cannot enjoy a real clash of ideas then you ¦night say that humanity is in its dot age.It is in the clash of ideas that tho sane ideas come to tlic top and the bad ideas go to the bottom.There are in Britain, as in most countries, section of people who adopt subtler methods than can ever come from a dash of ideas, but wo must expect it.It is there.It.is a fact.Why deny it ?Why put one’s head in the sand and refuse to recognize it?Why not rather follow them in tills sort ol work and challenge them?'11 behove it is destined that wo shall gradually assume power, aud with it, all responsibility that follows from tlic exercise of power.A man who tries to exercise power without rfutt sense of responsibility exercises it badly, but tlio man who understands that the function of a statesman is to provide, as far as possible, for the wants of tlio meanest subject rn his state, will undertake the task of Gov eminent with courage, it is true, but with courage burn of humility, rather than the courage born of bravado.Uor this purpose we aro striving to edit cate our young men.Tho mon or my age will live to seo labor enUironod in our British constitution.I am op Gmistic enough to believe, that before many years are over, if I live 1 shall lio taking a full share of responsible ity in that great anil important task ol Government.” Mr.Hodges drew a painful picture of tlic unemployment situation In Bri tain, reciting briefly tho causes, as lie saw them.The Government had not sought to deal with tlie matter of unemployment which was tlic most demoralizing tiling that could befai a man.There were men in England who had not worked a singlo day since 1320 and had lived on doles, which degraded, and indicated degeneration of a nation.So much was tills tlie case that men out of work through no fault of their own had in tho cours» of years lost the very disposition to work and would he content to go on and on as recipients of the charity ol their fellowmen.The Government had only meddled with the problem, never attempted to find a solution, though there was work to be done in tlie country which would bo profitable to the nation and honorable for tlio men.Mr.Hodges referred to the omigra lion efforts of tlio British Government and pointed out that British labor did no wish to run counter to tlio wishes of Canadian organized labor and that it would be well if the labor men of both countries could see eyo to oyo on the subject.Britain wanted the re storatiou of Europe, and her own re storation thereby, and did not want to cut loose from Europe if it could be avoided.If there was no remedy, it would mean turning to the Dominions and colonies of the Empire for some doso contact in tho solution of the pressing problem.Mr.llodgos denied that British French and German labor wero an tagonistic to each other over the European situation.Ho dealt with that situation at length, saying that there was a good feeling between the labor men of tho different countries, and that if it could bo reflected >n the cabinets of the selfish nationalistic politicians tho problems of Europe would be solved.I PROHIBITION STIRRING THE WORLD.The prohibition promoters are busy.They are not eon-,,nS c£f,,rts t0 ,L s The subtle for.tos of the anti-„ °.n l,‘1a8,u‘ ,al'.e
