When Hartley Dewart complains of the decadence of the newspapers, ha ought to be accurate and state that it is the party spirit that has decay- ed, declares the Brantford Expositor. The trouble with Mr. Dewart is that he appears unable to recognize that he represents a sehool of politicians whose influence and prestige has waned beyond recovery. Since the German General Staff plunged the world Into war,r no heavier moral responsibility has rest- ed upon the shoulders of anybody than that which rests upon Henry Cabot lLiodge and his fellow junkers indefensible refusal to permit the world to be at peace, is the clear-cut a | opinion of the New York World. That is just about what the Allied nations have been thinking for some time. A STRIKELESS LABOR UNION. Before the war the organization of a college professors' union would have been regarded as revolutionary and unthinkable, The change of views that the past two or three years have wrought among persons who think--and it is fair to assume that college professors do a pile of thinking--is indicated by the forma~ tion in New York of an "Associate Teachers' Union." Tais body achiev- ed definite standing in the labor world the other day, when it was ad- mitted to the American Federation of Labor. In every respect except one the professors" union will adhere to the rules and employ the weapons of the labor unions with which it is now affiliated. The important exception is that it has bound itself to refrain from wielding the weapon of the strike. To this imitation of the power of labor organizations as laid down for themselves by the unionized pro- fessors, Prof. Franklin H. Glddings, head of the department of soclology at Columbia University, interpises the pertinent enquiry: . *It affiliation with the A.F. of L. seems to he necessity, why not go all the way anll remain free to strike?" In reply it was explained to Prof, Giddings that the strike '"'was found inexpedient for teachers, and was, therefore, definitely excluded" from the scope of the operation of the "Associated Teachers' Union." 2.

That is a wise on and one that will find favor Now that we have a strikeless union--a union based upon the prin- ciples of accommodation, compromise and moral suasfon, instead of the strike---the "Associated Teachers' Union" has an interesting problem to solve and an important precedent to establish. IS PROFIT SHARING DESIRABLE? Labor in some sections has de- manded a right to participate in the management of businesses, especially those having to do with key irdus- tries, such as the railways, mines, ete. Another element of labor union- ism pins its faith to the profit shay. ing principle. In regard to the lat- ter contention, it is interesting to note that the special committee of the Federation of British industries, appointed to study and report on pationalization, lists' the following objections to the profit sharing prin- ciple: 1. Profit sharing is not desired by the workers . intbrested chiefly in high and regular 'wages rather than | sel regard as | in obtaining what they windfalls. 2. Profits sfe not the correct basis for calculation of wages, because the remuneration of the workers onght not to depend on the successes or failures of the commercial manage- ment. 8. Profit sharing would lead te great inequalities between workers in different works and industries and give rise to a sense of dissatisfaction and injustice. 4. Profit sharing as at present In existence gives a small addition to the earnings, and this must always be the case, except where the capital The weight of thess objections will . {not be denied by those who view theoretically or semtimentally.. has been truly sald that not mueh || new has been added to the argument in the United States senate for their. @ > Ei THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG SNE EEE NEY ENN CANNER NANEENRNNE ANRENEERNNEN tends to tread closely on the heels of | at that point and the color of the sky his income, is averse to taking risks. | itself at the time to make the color The capitalist employer, besides fur- Sreen fond it is teflucted to our eyes nishing industrial leadership, which* prom the Book of Wonders is stimulated into good Work by sel-| Published and copyrighted by the fishness, is also risk carrier and dis-| Bureau of Industrigl Education, Inc tributes the impact of many small shocks.
