WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1921 AUTOCRACY BEHIND CAPITAL LABOR WAR Men's Club Told Domination of Both Classes by the Few is Re- sponsible for Present Difficulties William A. Hadley, 913 Oak street, founder and head of the Hadley Cor- respondence School for the Blind, gave an interesting description of his work before the meeting of the Win- netka Men's club at Community House Thursday evening of this week. Mr. Hadley expressed sincere appre- ciation of Winnetka's splendid re- sponse to the appeal for funds to make possible the permanent estab- lishment of the school. Dr. Sam Atkinson, speaker of the evening, talked entertainingly and in- structively on the subject, "The Point of Contact." Autocratic control of both Capital and Labor, was held responsible by Dr. Atkinson for all the ills under- lying the seemingly endless war be- tween Capital and Labor. There should be no differences be- tween Capital and Labor, he declared. Assumption of power and the domi- nation of Labor by a few radical speakers who seized power while the 'union man was busy working to win the war, has brought organized labor to its present sorry plight, he said. Chicago was described by the speaker as the hot-bed of radicalism. It is the headquarters of the largest radical publications in the world, Dr. sophistries of the so-called "soap- directed and controlled by gunmen. Cleverly, and with merciless sar- casm, Dr. Atkinson exploded the sophistries of the so-dalled "soap- box" orator. His perfect mimicry of the "curb-stone" philosopher pro- voked a storm of applause. "The greatness of Theodore Roose- velt," said Dr. Atkinson in concluding his address, "was that he found a "Point of Contact' with everybody and and anybody. If only that 'Point of Contact' can be found as between the warring factions of Capital and Labor, the greatest problem before the American public will have been solved." Dr. Atkinson, who is now on the lecture platform, was formerly busi- ness manager for the Allied Amuse- ments corporation of Chicago, in which capacity he was in charge of the labor agrrements for more than 400 theaters. He is a recognized authority on ILabor conditions. Preceding the address, F. S. Banta entertained with a group of songs. The next meeting of the Winnetka Men's club is scheduled for January 26.

If so some stout shoes and boys' clothing would be most wel- come. John K-- is sixteen years old and is "over the top" in weight. He wants to get a job but his clothes are so shabby that he is afraid no one will take him. John has no home, no father or mother, no one in the world in fact, who belongs to him. He is willing and eager to work and he is well and strong now after his weeks at the camp. In order that he may remain so, he will be kept at Arden Shore until he can be suitably placed, but some better clothes would help him qnite a lot. Can anyone give John some clothes or a job? There are three other boys who will be ready to leave in about a month. They also, have no homes and no families. Can anyone help them to find jobs? Many of the boys need shoes. The camp budget does not allow for shoes and the boys' parents are supposed to provide them but some of these other boys have no parents and some have parents so very poor or with so many children that it is a hard task to find shoes for all of them. One of the best things a boy gets at Arden Shore is his exercise and play out of doors. For this heavy shoes are a necessity. The boys are from 14 to 16 years of age, but many of them are small for their years. New shoes or those slightly worn will be most gratefully received. | Please send to Mrs. John Bullen in Glencoe, Mrs. John Montgomery in | Winnetka, Mrs. Mark Cresap in Kenilworth, Mrs. Joseph J. Siddall in | Wilmette. Or notify any of these! women and articles will be called for.
