THE NEW TARIFF LAW.

Trades unioniStS ought to devote a
tariff bill. If they are wise they will
not swallow the plumduff given them
by the political orators. but will look
into the schedules and determine for
themselves just how the law affects
them.
The claim that the law is fulfill
ment of the promise to revise the
tariff downward is one of those half
truths that is worse than lie. The
average of revision is downward. No
doubt about that. The things you
buy little of are reduced greatly:
the things you buy a great deal of are
reduced very little or not at ALL Lum
Der is still taxed for the benefit of the
lumber barons. Sugar is still taxed
under the guise of helping the Ameri
can sugar industry. Wool and cotton
goods are taxed to the limit Knii
goods are protected till even the
most greedy manufacturer can mo-
complain.
The man who says the Payne tariff
law is a benefit to the consumer i.
either woefully ignorant or is willfull,
falsifying. That the Payne tariff wa.
framed for the purpose of protecting
American labor" is the claim of some
but the claim is baseless. 1t require:
but little study to bring forth the
proof
The workers engaged in the highly
protected trades are the poorest pail
workers in the country. The worker:
engaged in the unprotected industrie:
, are the highest paid workers in the
world. Carpet manufacturers receive
a high measure of protection, but theil
employees are perhaps the poorest paid

FIFTY-FIvE YEARS OLD.

Last Monday President James NJ
Lynch called to order the fifty-fifth an
nual convention of the International
Typographical Union of North Amer
lea. the convention being in session
in St Joseph. Mo.
We trust the readers of The Wage
worker will pardon the editor for be-
ing just a little bit proud of his mem
bership in the l. T. u That member
ship has covered a period of almost
one-half the life of the International
We are proud of that membership
for the reason that the International
Typographical Union has a record of
service. of accomplishments. that
stamp it as one of the greatest organi-
cations in the world. 1t has been a
leader in the industrial reform move
ment. 1t has furnished the inspiration
and oftentimes the money to help
possible
1t was the first trades union to es-
| tablish a home for it's disabled and in
capacitated members, and that home
is one of the prettiest spots on the
American continent
1t was the first trades union to es-
tablish a pension system
| 1t is now investigating with a view
to establishing an insurance system.
| 1t gave the eight hour day its great
est impetus. and in making the eight
hour day the standard in printing of
fees it expended four millions of dol
lars, raised by $4,000 printers in less
than two years. The industrial world
has never seen such record of devo
tion to the principles of unionism.
1t has established a trade school
with view to making better printers
1t has an arbitration contract with
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association. and the next move will
be\ for an arbitration clause in con
tracts with employing job and book
printers.
/ 1t enforces equal pay for men and
women for equal work performed
| Taken by and large, this organiza
ton stands the peer OF any.
| Study its record and you will DE able
to understand why we are So proud
of our membership.
And because of that pride We are
hobnobbing with the old pals at the
convention this week. and We don't

skilled workers in the country Print
ers are not protected by any schedule
of the tariff. and they are the best
paid mechanics in the country Cot
ton manufacturers receive a high
measure of protection, but cotton oper-
atives receive miserably poor wages.
Plumbers are not protected by any
schedule of the tariff. yet plumbers
average $3.50 a day Of eight hours. and
cotton mill operatives average S1.0S
per day of ten hours.
The trades unions, not the protective
tariff. have made the American work
ingman the best paid and the best
treated mechanic in the world-that

mechanic is the best paid mechanic
in the world so far as days wages
is concerned-he is below the me
chanic of Great Britain when output is
considered. In other words. while
drawing twice as much wages as his
British cousin he performs from three
to four times as much work
