SEVERE. JOLT FOR
BUREAU OF LAC0R
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND
LABOR is CRITICISED.
Great Dissatisfaction In the National
Labor Bureau. Attempt being
Made to Make Il Purely Theoretical
In Character. Bureau Charged by
Labor Men With Failing to Dessim.
mate Matters For Organized Labor.

Washington, D. c.. Oct. Sit is
rumored in Washington that there is
great dissatisfaction in the National
Labor Bureau since it has been put in
a very subordinate relation to the new
Department of Commerce and Labor.
It seems that there is a strong dis
position to make it purely theoretical
in character-hence more useless than
it already is-and the few practical
statisticians now there with some
knowledge of labor matters are said
to find themselves very much out OF
favor.
The Bureau has always carefully
steered clear of collecting and dis
seminating information that would be
of value to organized labor and fair
employers. Either the matter publish
ed has been without practical value, or
else held too long to be of use at the
date when given to the public. So the
complaint that the Bureau is drifting
still farther from its alleged mission
is no surprise to those who have been
watching it's progress for some years.
The new Department Of Commerce
and Labor shows no sign of justifying
the latter portion if it's title but the
the latter portion of it's title In fact
it was we'll understood by chose in the
KNOW" at the time of it's creation,
that the labor portion of the title was
mere matter of empty courtesy.

Special Convention Investigating the
Complaints Against Pres. Shaffer.

Special Convention investigating the
Complaints Against Pres. Shaffer.
Pittsburg, Oct. S.-The special con-
vention Of the Amalgamated Associa-
tion of the Iron and Steel Workers
to investigate the charges against
President Shaffer, preferred by the
Nile, Ohio, lodge, met here yesterday.
The charges, it is learned, are based
on Mr.. Shaffer's failure to attend the
steel conference in Pittsburg month
ago. -Four lodges preferred charges,
Iron Citq, Wheeling, Niles and Nc
KEGS Rocks. The afternoon was con-
sumed in hearing witnesses, who were
closely questioned by Shaffer' and the
lodges counsel.
According to Mr.. Shaffer's state
ment, there is no clause in the consti-
tuition to compel him to attend any
meeting but the ANIMAL convention.
He says he called the convention at
the request of the vice presidents and
it was the duty of the vice president
in whose district the convention was
held to preside. For Shaffer to preside
would have been discourteous. =.
The investigation will be continued
to-day.

SMALL WAGES AND SCANTY FOOD

Like the Chinese They Are the Poorest
Paid and Best Workers in the
Orient Land Owners conspire on
Interest Charges. Organized Labor
Is Doing Well in the PHILIPPINES.

Manila, P. l., Oct Cit has been nv
aim at all times to study all sides of
the problem. l have talked with Gov
ernment officials, employers, news
paper men. travellers. and workmen.
Observed the latter work in factory,
shop, and field, and wish to state en-
phatically, at the outset, that consider
in gthe very small wages paid the
Filipino workers. the poor and scanty
+ food they necessarily live on, they are,
next to the Chinese. the cheapest and
best workers Of the Orient.
Thier reluctance to work, continual
ly harped upon by many employers, is
simply the natural reluctance of q pro-
gressive people to work for low wages
under bad treatment. When wages
rise above the level of the barest and
poorest necessaries of life. and where
treatment is fair, there Filipinos are at
work in any numbers required.
The civil government has experience
ed considerable difficulty in keeping a
sufficient labor force in the construc.
ton OF the Benguet road. but the
wages paid are only 81 per day for ten
hours and the men have to live away
from their families. AS one of the en-
gineers told me, 1--WE certainly made
them work while they staid with u.s."
Is it any wonder that many :Filipinos,
having to work for ten hours for u
little less than Al cents gold, day after
day exposed to the searching rays of
a trophical sun, and driven as only
our strenuous American foremen know
how to drive laborers, did not show up
after the first pay day? -,

SUING OF LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
A NEW DEPARTURE.
Taf-vaiIe Decision in House # Lord
Inspiring American Court. 4. Rec
ent Court Decisions. America Will
Soon Decide Whether Unions Can
or Cannot Be Sued.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 8-The Am
erican Federationist, edited by Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor. will discuss in
it's October issue the Taff-Vale decis-
ion and the liability of trade unions.
It will say: 1--WE have shown On many
OCCASIONS that where the law favors or
ganized labor and permits co-opera-
tion for the protection of Individual
rights and interests, capitalism does
not hesitate to manufacture special,
judge-made law to deprive labor Of
such protection. 1t is hardly necessary
to refer to government by injunction
as an invention which has done away
with the right to trial by jury in many
labor cases. and by the use Of which
workingmen are swindled out of fund
amental rights and irnmunities.
|: We have in mind, particularly, the
damage suit weapon, which is now
rapidly following the injunction in
certain lines of cases. We dealt with
the subject in a recent issue, but new
and striking illustrations of the grow
ing practice demand a few words Of
additional comment
A few weeks ago the British Court
of Appeals rendered a decision in. the
important case of the Welsh Coal
Owners Association versus the Miners
Federation Of Great Britain. This was
a suit for 100000 damages for an al
legged breach of contract induced" or
procured" by the Miners Federation.
There was no controversy as to the
facts, and the issue is one of law.
Some time ago the Miners, Federation,
confronted by an "overproduction" Of
coal, the danger of a fall. in the price
! of this commodity, a long period Of
| idleness, with consequent reduction of
the miners wages, issued seYsral
'stop- day. notices TO- its members.
The employees of the Welsh. Coal own
ers' Association obeyedE the orders and
! suspended work at various times for
| one day at a time. They were under
contract with the employers, and by

not suspend work without the consent

REIGN OF LAWLEssNEss.
Murders, Burgiaries and Hold Ups
-. Common Occurrences in Los
Angeles,

Los Angeles, CAL, Oct 8.-(Special
Correspondences)-Every daily paper in
Los Angeles with the exception of the
notorious Times is demanding the re-
moval Of the chief of police. During the
present year several cold-blooded mur-
ders have been committed, and in no
instance has the perpetrator been ap-
prehended. Passengers on street-cars
have been shot by robbers and pedes-
tTians held up on the streets. Business
houses have been burglarized and
wagonloads of merchandise stolen.
During the month of September twen-
ty-five houses have been burglarized.
Not one arrest has been made. While
the decent papers of the city are de-
nouncing the police department, the
Times is actually filled with praise,
stating that the fight against the
police: is confined to the labor unions.
Unconsciously the Times admitted that
the police department is to busily en-
gagged in trying to disrupt the unions
that it has no time to arrest murderes,
footpads, and burglars. Union men
have been arrested for speaking to
non-llnfon men at work, but evidently
no attempt is made to arrest murder
ers. The Employers Association, which
is back OF the Times and the police in
fighting organized labor, finds itself in
an ackward position, as the reign of
lawlessness is injuring the city. To
stand by the police means black eye
to the :1city, and to criticize the police
is practically a criticism Of the Times
which directs every move Of the chief
Of police. Meantime, murders, hold-ups
| and burglaries occur in quick success
sion. This is the record Of the town
| that is controlled by men who pride
| themselves on being union-haters.
| Union men and women everywhere
can help their fellow unionists in
Southern California by. writing one let

Chicago, Oct 9.-To the demand OF
some $4,000 emplayes. of the big packers
of the country for more wages, the cor
porations ask for an increase in the
amount of days labor, and no strike
not sanctioned by the executive board
Of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and

that only union men and women be en-

A heavy penalty has been enacted
from the beef luggers, who were ;sus-
pended by the executive committee of
the butcher workmen for insubordina-
tlon after they refused to work on the
Sunday before Labor Day. The board
voted to restore. the local on the pay

bodies: :: hence there are frequent at
tacks on Union funds + - u.s.
The charge against the Miners Fed
GRAFTON, as stated, was that 1t had
induced" a breach of contract by or
dering the stoppage of work: The
question was whether. it was sneces-
sary for the plaintiffs to show that
the Federation had acted naliciously
and with the intent of injuring them.
The lower court held that malice must
be alleged and proved to establish a
claim for damages; and since it was
admitted that the Federation had in
tended to BENEFIT the plaintiffs.
rather than to injure them, Judgment
was given for the Federation. -.
The court of Appeals. has ereversed
this decision by a majority Of two to
one. 1t held that the presence or alb
sence Of a malicious intent was i'm
material, and that he who Induces
pay damages for the injury due to the
breach.
Tt is hardly necessary to say that the
enemies Of orga nized labor have. re-
ceived this decision with keen delight.
It's iabsurd;ties do not trouble them;
the fact that it is special judicial legis-
'lation, conceived in class prejudice,
conmends 1t all the more to them.
Consider the question for a moment,
It is conceded that the Miners
Federation was actuated by good
motives.
It is further conceded thats it used
no coercion to enforce it's stop day
orders.
" 1t merely ADVISED the. Unions to
stop work for the proper purpose Of
preventing: a reduction Of their wages.
Is it not an unheard of and prepos-
ferrous doctrine to promulgate that he
who, in good faith, advises another to
do a lawful. thing and leaves that
other perfectly free to take or reject
that advice, IS responsible tor the dam
ages resulting from the breach? T..
The damage suits which are: becon,-
ing the fashion among employers hav-
ing trouble with their men. rest upon
equally fantastic and far-fetched
doctrines Of liability. Let strike oc-
cur anywhere; lei" t"sorae unknown, per-
son or persons use violence contrary
to- the rules. Instructions, and wishes
of the union directing it: let street
disorder attend such a strike, and,
