Tuesday, September 18, 1923 Labor in the United States It better Paid Than '" ' y Labor Anywhere Else fcy SAMUEL GOMPERS, irf New York Times. * NOT in any country in Europe is there a trade onion movement ; aa ireq from internal discord, as free from bitterness and' dis appointment, as united and confident of the future as the trade union movement of tbo United States. The condition of labor in Europe is not all due to post-war confusion. I*bor in the United States is better paid than labor anywhere else in the world.* It lives in better homes. It wears better clothes. It has siiore leisure. It enjoys better food. It has a wider margin of choice in determining how and where it shall live. It has more essential freedom. Finally? it has a better trade union movement with which to achieve mors progress and improvement. What iB of interest to every one is the strik ing fact, attested by every competent authority, that American labor is the most skillful and> productive labor in the world. Os what avail are the programs of Europe if their concrete results sre inferior to the results of the efforts of,Aiperiwi labor? It is notable that the labor movements of Europe flipi stfbnglyv to programs formulas. They make formulas for everything; They embellish them, decorate them, punctuate them nicely, capitalize them freely, make speeches about them endlessly, gaze upon them worshipfully—and no doubt'fhut please employers immensely. ' But'the American workers prefer an increase in wages, with all the resulting opportunities, to # pleasing formula framed on the wall. We have great distances where there is no industry whatever. In point of population our country is still almost half rural and agricultural. In addition, we have in our land all of the nationalities and races of the earth. In Holland there are only Hollanders, in France only Frenchmen, in England only Britishers, in Germany only Hermans. We must meet and reconcile all of the prejudices of the world, bridge all the chasms of habit, thought and psychology, and employers have constantly taken advantage of/that fact. There is slight similarity of yiy kind between the problems of labor in America and though European doctrinaires, intellectuals and khperior persons generally, feel free to tell £ow to order our affaire and how to enter the promised land which li-jfcft so very far from their own shores. BasgsgaMßsZs2sasg3gsgsaSßsasaßsZsas2sHsaSHsaSaaSEsgSZSaSas3sgHg Americans Are Always Saying “Allßight!” It It ' Their Pet Phrase By GUSTAV FRENSSEN, In “Letters From America.^ 1 The Americans are always sayii/g cheerfully, carelessly and lightly t •All right 1” It is their pet phrase. It is a phrase appropriate to wander ers, pioneers, sportsmen, hunters. Americans are hunters, and always they have been lucky at hunting. They have hunted Indians and buffaloes, negroes and Spaniards and Germans, gold and copper and oil wells, and always luck has smiled upon them. And evenings they sit by the fire and talk of their spoils. - * Cares? Reflections? Eight or wrong? Hunters do not ask questions about such things. Americans are now going through an era like that which Rome went through when it reached the Adriatic coast, Spain when it dispatched Columbus, England when it laid hands on South Africa and India, They are a people ip,. His bloom of -its springtime, favored and blessed by God because of its freshness, brilliancy and efficiency. But remember, all that is right and valuable contains something tragic and sad. Individuals and peoples alike, everything that is worth anything bears the noble mark of guilt, remorse and need on its brow. All the nations carry this mark and do hot seek to deny it: Spain, Holland, Sweden, England, France, Germany. Creation is tragic. The American people do not bear this old, holy sign of creation; in America there is ho scar, complaint, remorse, want, error. Everything there is still mathematically clear; everything comes out just as it should. Everything there is still “all right!” gs2sill»d!id!atisZsZsZs'gsgsese3CH3ErC3C3PoC3Cgcac3i_JC3iaiac3C3C3C3cacaCT “It Was Your Prime Minister George Who Savfed'Turkey From Herself * By DR. A. J. TOYNBEE, in Contemporary Review. Had we succeeded in establishing a moral hold over the last inde pendent Moslem state, our ascendency would hardly have been disputed elsewhere; and the whole Islamic world, from Bengal to Constantinople, and from the African lakes to the Caucasus, might have been drawn into the wake of the British Empire, except for a few French and Italian dependencies Scattered here and there as enclaves. Looking back on this position today, the Turks, Egyptians, Afghans, and Indians whom an English visitor meets at Angora have a way of smiling and professing ironical gratitude to Mr. Lloyd George. “It was your late prime minister,” they explain, “who saved Turkey from herself. Had he given her one touch of kindness, one friendly stroke or a gentle word, she would have licked his hand and we might all have lost our independence forever. Fortunately, he preferred to kidc her till she showed her teeth and summoned up her last energies to fight for her existence; and, as it turned out, we have gained far bxr* ty flafianot than wet could ever have gained by conciliation.” _ <saSasaasgjßSgSZs^sZsSs2SasgsgsßsZs2sasasMZsasaasgsgsgsasasgsasgsa *lt Is by Hope That Nations Live aud it Is of Despair That They Die” By DR. ZIMMERMAN, in New York Tftneg. Austria can be and is being made self-supporting by the intensifica tion of her agriculture and the development of her water power to take the place of coal. Great projects for water-power development are already wider way. The first stretch of railroad run by electricity will he opened this fall. The government monopolies of tohacco and salt both show a profit. The railroads are run at a loss, but are being reorganized; they will •till belong to the state, but with the advantages economy of private direction. > Austria’s stabilized exchange, the only stabilized currency in Europe east of Holland, and the fact that she is being run en a business basis, is bringing in investors. The savings banks deposits show that for the first time in years the people are beginning to •ave. Nobody could 6ave or i invest while the crown that was worth a cefit one day might be wortkthe seyenrieth of a cent the next. For six months now the crown has been worth pbout 70,000 to the dollar. It will not fall, and it must rise very gradually. *What you see in this country today is not so much recovery as tba bop# of recovery.

STATE’S PROSPECTS NOT ENCOURAGING NOW | No Kicker Has Been Seen Yet Who Will Be Able to Take Ckre of This Depart ment of Work.—Must Develop One. Raleigh, Sept. 17. —A little more thau a week has passed since Head Coach Harry Hartsell of North Carolina State assembled the remnants of 'the 11)22 Wolf pack and the members of last year's Yearling team who have returned to col lege and entered upon the arduous task of building another football machine. During this time some of the outstand ing weaknesses of the squad have been revealed together with much of its po tential strength. It is apparent to even the most casual observer that the Techmen will miss the trusty left toe of Tommy Park. Park, I of course, was an exceptional kicker, | one of the best in this section of the country, and any punter with average ability necessarily . suffers by -'compari-1 son, but this does not alter the fact that i right now there is not an outstanding punter in the entire squad. The Tech chief is working on Dick Elms, freshman; end. and A1 Johnston, '•Red'’ Sprague and Walt Shuford, all members of the Yearling back field, anti Joe Ripple, varsity end. It is probable tlpt one of these youngsters may ac quire the knack of lifting the oval high and far before 'the season is very far advanced. Elms anil Kippje look to be the best bets just now. The former lias this much in common with Tom Park— he kicks with his left foot. If he devel ops the consistency of the local boy his gridiron future is assured. Patient and painstaking effort-'may give the Techmen a punter this season, but at this writing Slate looks to be wenk in the kicking department. The samp statement applies with equal force to the place of kickers ns well as punt ers. Last season Dark. Long and Ran dolph handled this end of the game very creditably, but neither of these men are on the squad this year. Hobby Long's field goal in'last year's Fair Week game with Carolina will long be remembered .in TPch athletic circles. Standing near midfield, with the goal posts at n slight angle 50 yards away, he Booted a drop kick squarely through tile uprights for the first score of the game. Long is a good punter also. He could be used to advantage this fill. Only six letter men from 1022 have returned to college, these including Cap tiriu Bostinn. center: Beatty, guard; La.tsiter, fullback, and Holland, Wallis atid -Ripple; ends. It is reported that Bill ( ax. tackle, plans to return, but he has not as yet reached the camiTus. If this husky youngster reports at least one of Coach HnrtseU's problems will be solv ed. Cox played tackle last season for the first time, but he took'to the position like a veteran. He is one of the most aggressive forwards developed' at State In recent years and Tech supporters are counting upon his return. The other letter men in harness again are all good men. "Big Dick"’ liostiau lias been one of the outstanding centers in the South Atlantic division for the last two years. He is a natural leader and tbe mere fact that he is captain of tbe team sbould\ work wonders with the morale of the squad. "Fighting Cleye" Beatty is the best I<!s pound guard in captivity. He is a scrapper from Hie opening" whistle until the referee declares it a day. There is some fine looking materia) coming up from the freshmen team, but the prediction is ventured just here—the man who gets Beatty’s job will be an exceptional football player. Great things are expected of Sam Wallis this season. Last fall he gave promise of developing into a /fine end. With the benefit of a year’s experience behind him he should have a great sea son. Hartsell has intimated that he will switch "Dutch” Holland from end to the backfield, his natural position, and the change should add considerable strength behind the line. Holland is a good plunger and he is fast enough for plays around the flanks. He is also a good de fensive player. He is a natural half back, although he was used at end last year on account of the scarcity of good wingers. Joe Ripple is a big husky end, especially valuuble for boxing a tackle. Some of the faster and more shifty youngsters may crowd him out of his |h>- sitiou, in which case lie would probably tit in nearer tbe center of the line. ”Ued" Lassiter ought to be a whale of a fullback this fall. Tipping the scaled at something over llMt pounds, fast and shifty on his feet, he rips iuto a line like a ton of brick. Watch this sor rel-top this year! Members of last year's varsity squad who have registered again include, Jilnc sou, Eller. Coffey and Busley. linemen; and Shell Johnson, Shenrin and Williams, backs. A1 Byrum. star dash man on the truck team is out for football after over coming parental objection lusting for two years. He stands live feet tl inches and weighs around 170 pounds, and lie sure can move around on his Bogs. If he shows football "sense" he is a fine prospeef. Crater, another track star, 41 javelip artist and broad-jumper, is out for one of the jobs 011 |jie wings. With the exception of quarterback and center, state's undefeated freshman team of 11122 is intact. However, from fresh man stardom to the limelight of the var sity may sometimes prove u long rocky road and some have been known to fall by the wayside. While the testing time for this erstwhile yearling material is yet to come, the dean slate turned in by the aggregation last year is rather im pressive, and it is generally understood that tbe Foltlets will furnish some of the star members of the Wolfpack. The material looks good both in the line and in the buekfielcl. Followers of the red unit white will watch its devel opment with a great deal of iutorest and pleasure. Logan and Sen well, tackles; White McAdoo und Hendricks, guards, anil Elms. Mayo 1 and Herriug, ends, fur nish the Tdtih coaching stnff with some mighty nice lookiugline candidates. The backfield material is'equally as good, with such men as Walt a’qd Charlie Shu ford. "Red” Sprague, “RiiPl. Summerell, A1 Johnston and Autell. • Taken as a , whole, early season pros pects at N. O. State may be summarised, somewhat ns follows: Front the stend faint of the number of veterans who have returned, six or possibly seven, the out look is not especially encouraging, but when it is* remembered that the 11)22 team was not pat’tkulurly successful, this fact may or may not mean anything. Poteacfally, the team should be a mueh stronger running machine, a little weak er in kicking, ntid pM-hnp* not as formid able iu passing, due to the loss of the brilliant Randolph. Unquestionably 1 there is evidence of U much finer spirit and of a highly improved morale, and this THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE ~ ===?■■ 1 !' ' »«f !factor alone, may prove the margin of' j difference bitween a loser and a real ' southern conference contender. Defen sively the team should be as strong or stronger, than the 11)22 puck which fur nished formidable opposition to the best teams encountered. UNIVERSITY SQUAD UMBERING UP; PROSPECTS FAIRLY GOOD A Number of Old Men Bach and Several Men Coming Up From Freshmen Team Expected to Show Up Weil.* Chapel Hill. Sept. 17.—Fifty men have answerod Coach Bob Fetaer's call for football practice at the university and arrivals next week are expected to swell the number to Go. Drills in punting and j passing and work on positions will 00111- 1 prise the light program for the first few days while the men are getting in con dition. . Till* freshman team of last year lias | produced a good-sized delegation of can didates for varsity berths and a number of last season’s scrubs should prove strong -contenders for the first eleven. The Fetzer brothers think they have the material to produce a good team, but they are making 110 prophecies to the effect that it will make tbe remark*-, ble record of the 1922 eleven which went undefeated in the south. In the Hue the loss of Cochran, Pritchard and Blount will be sorely felt, while such backfield stars as McGee. Fred Morris and "Red” Johnson will be equally miss ed. The first game is 011 September 2!) when Wake Forest comes to Chapel Hill. Then follows the game with Yale at New Haven on October (i: Trinity at Durham on University ,I)ay. October 12; X. C. State at Raleigh on October IK: Mary land at College Park. Md., on October 27; South Carolina at Columbia on No vember 3 and Virginia at Chapel Hill on November 29. The \\ M. I. game on November 10 and Davidson game on November 17 are still unlocafed. Both Charlotte and Win ston-Salem are making strong bids for the / Davidson-C'arolina meeting. Rich mond thus far seems to be the most log ical place for the game with Y. M. I. , Among the candidates for varsity berths already on the Hill are; Blanton, tackle, and Bonner, half back, who sub stituted in several varsity games last year; Brandi, who played eiid with the scrubs; Braswell. freshman tackle of last year; Ourlee. guard on the fresh man team ; Deeviu. captain and quart ly back of the freshman teiyn last year. Epstein, end. one of the best lines men; Farrell, substitute in several var sity games last year: Fordham. J. 8., freshman guard of last season; Fordham, (’. C., letter man and tackier-of Hie first class; Gold. C. W. Jr.; star fullback, for the freshmen until injured last season. Griffin, halfback, excellent ground gain er for the freshmen last year: Hamer, guard, former citadel man whom the one year rule made ineligible last season. Harmon, guard of last year's scrubs: Hawficld. tackle, who got in several var sity games; Hodges, .freshman end : Jack sson, who played in several varsity games; Jonas, of last year's scrubs; Line berger. end. letter man o{ Ipsi year's varsity; McDonald, .quarterback. a var sity man: Mclver. good at cither tackle or center; Mewborn, of lfcit year's scrubs; Milstead, who playdf with the freshmen; Roy Morris, end Al captain of the team, who is playinaßiis fourth year : Poindexter, guard ; RaWolph-, ■ who won his letter last year and is good at either half or fullback. Ilobiireon, Center of last year's freshmen; Rdwe, who played with the scrubs. Shepard, Tom. end. who got his letter last year: Sparrow, qttu.ferback and varsity man of last year's squad: Street, guard, a gdtal man on last year’s fresh mau squad: Teague, of last season's 1 scrubs: Trausue, freshman halfback; Un derwood. also freshman halfback: who showed considerable promise: Douunhoe, who relieved Robinson at center on last 1 year's freshman team; Crews, Simpson. Burke. Matthews, Fonts, Fowler, Foy. Gierxcli, Ltavis aud Limtey. It is too early for predictions as to t«he successful candidates for varsity berths. If history repeats itself the season will undobutedly develop a num ber of surprises. The Fetzers are ex pecting a number of last year's substi tutes and scrubs to offer keen competi tion for the first string eleven. Good and Bad in Mankind.
