RESIST CUT IN WAGES.
State Federation Issues Proclamation
to Unions.

State Federation Issues Proclamation
to Unions.
While union labor in Iowa is fully in
sympathy with the effort to relieve
the present financial stringency, it is
firmly determined to resist, even to
the strike point, any attempt to reduce
prevailing wages. lengthen working
hours or change conditions of employ
ment.
This is an epitome Of the action
taken in Des Moines at the annual
meeting of the executive board of the
Iowa Federation of Labor, of which
J. H. Strict of Sioux City Is secretary
and treasurer.
Mr.. Strict said these leaders Of or
ganized labor in the state wished to
cooperate with the bankers in all pos
sible ways, but that any attempt to
make the situation burd ensome for the
wage Garner would meet with strong
opposition.
A proclamation to the union men of
Iowa was formulated by the board,
which concludes as follows:
"The laboring people are willing to
accept their responsibility as good citi
| zens, but the organized labor move
ment proposes to vigorously contest
any attempt to place the burden for
present conditions entirely upon the
shoulders of the wage earners. The
working people are not in. any man
ner responsible for the financial diff
ficulty of the present. and in simple
Justice should not be called upon to
carry the entire burden. Union men
of Iowa let your slogan be: No wage
reduction!'"
