STEEL TRUST PLANS
TO adjust" WAGES.

On top of the announcement
that the steel trust had laid off
$4,000 employees in the Pittsburg
district alone comes the talk in
labor circles that the octopus in
tends to "readjust" wages, a
phrase which usually heralds a
reduction. The workers are now
unorganized and can hardly en-
gage in combined resistance.
In the Independent mills the
men are organized, but one of
their national officers told me a
few days ago that If the steel trust
slashes into wages the workers in
the union mills will have to meet
the cut or the trust will force the
independents out of business.
But even If the steel magnates
attempt to enforce a lower wage
level in 1911 it is doubtful wheth-
err the movement can be success
fully inaugurated in other lines of
industry, especially in those in
which the workers are organized
as they are unit In opposing re-
auctions.
The building trades, the rail-
way employees, the miners, print
ers and Others have hardly kept
pace in boosting wages to meet
the Increased cost of living, which
Is an indirect reduction of wages,
and they will not stand for the
imposition of any further hard
ships by employers without a bat
tie that will shake the very found
ations of the present industrial
system.

DENOUNCE TAFT AS
HOSTILE TO LABOR BILLS

Labor spokesman all over the
country are denouncing President
Taft for his apparent hostility to
the labor bills now before con-
aress, and it is pretty generally
agreed that those measures Will
not be enacted into law during the
present session.
Taft pretends to be friendly to
the present eightJhour law, but he
opposes broadening it's scope to
provide that contractors doing
work for Uncle Sam must observe
the eight-hour rule like the gov
eminent itself. His judicial
mind" fails to grasp the fact that
the government not only encour-
ages the sweating system by pat
ronizing long-hour contractors,
but that some of the departments
are placed at a disadvantage when
forced to compete against those
private concerns.
Regarding the matter of re-
stricting injunctions to prevent
the use of that weapon to smash
strikes, Taft Is supporting the
Moon bill, which is backed by the
National Association of Manufac-
turers, and is being used to kill
off the Wilson bill. The Moon
measure would legalize the in
junction, but offers the "conces-
sion" that notice must be given
when the ak falls.
The Wilson bill clearly sets
forth that when two or more per-
sons enter into agreement to work
or not TO work it cannot be classed
as a conspiracy or enjoined by the
