The same company that gives this

D|SC0RDANT VOICE i:
AGAINST WAGE LAW
Pacific Coast Labor Editor Fears
New Principle in Law
Making.

Prominent labor men throughout
the country are taking issue with the
advocates of law providing for a
minimum wage for women and chill
dren. In San Francisco, the other
day, a large meeting was held under
the auspices of society leaders and
club women to discuss a bill now
pending before the California legis-
lature.
Walter Macarthur, editor Of the
Seamen's Journal, was invited to ad-
minimum wage law for women and
children somewhat startled his hear
ers. This is what he said:
II have looked into the subject as
we'll as could and find that there is
very little of official reports of labor
on the minimum wage subject. With
the exception of the act passed by
the Massachusetts legislature provid-
Ing for an appointment of a minimum
wage commission there seems to be
nothing In the United States on the
question. The. American Federation
OF Labor at its recent convention
acted on that question by deciding
that q uniform scale OF compensation
for work and services would mean
the abandonment Of our fundamental
principle that workers own their own
labor power: that they alone, acting
as individuals or in voluntary associa-
tons, have the sole right to set the
price and bargain for the same.
Fears Minimum Wage.
Zone of our objections to the mini
mum wage is that it is likely to lead
to the establishment of minimum
that would become In effect a maxi
mum. and thus establish a tendency
to lower the wages as already estab-
ltshed at q point higher than the Ia
sal minimum. Experience in the la
Dor movement in all countries is that
the wage rates fixed by the unions,
which are in all cases minimum rates,
are in all cases regarded by employers
as maximum rates. Ill.,. *:
1T is apparent that the minimum.
wage law, which should fix the mini
mum at the point lower than the
minimum established by the organ
lied workers. would tend to lower
wages In the aggregate, rather than
increase them. It appears that the
determination of this minimum wage
rate Is to be based upon the standard
OF living. which standard is to be de-
termined by wage commission.
need hardly say that such q method
is impractical. A perusal Of the Mas
sachusetts law shows quite clearly
that It cannot effect anything ma
terial or practical.
Refers to New Zealand.
The only minimum wage laws

all effective are enacted In Australia
and New Zealand under the compul-
sorry arbitration system. These laws
are effective because they carry With

M'CALLuM WAS ONCE
ACTIVE LABOR MAN
Duluth man Who Died in San An,
tonic, Tex, at One Time a
Union Labor Leader.

Alfred McCallun. the Duluth man
who died on Saturday last at San An
tonic. Tex, where he had gone for
his health, was at one time the best
known union labor man in northern
Minnesota.
1t can be said without fear Of con-
tradictfon that the American Fedora
ton of Labor movement in Duluth
received its impetus through the ac-
tivities Of Mr.. McCallum in the days
when he was young and active as a
cigarmaker in Duluth.
He served as president of the Du-
luth Trades assembly for two years,
resigning to become state factory in
spector under Governor Lind. When
Mr.. McCa1lum was at the head of the
Duluth labor movement, he worked
lndustriously to put the movement on
q solid basis in this city. When he
Was president Of the Trades and La
Dor assembly there were SIS trade
unions in good standing in that body.
Most Of these owed their existence
to Mr.. McCallum.
Delegate to Detroit.
In 1896 he was elected delegate to
represent the local union of cigar
makers at the Detroit convention of
the Cigarmakers' International union.
This was the last convention held by
the cigarmakers until the Baltimore
convention, which was held last Sep
TENDER.
When the Socialist Labor Party
was the Socialist political organiza-
ton of this portion Of the state, Mr..
McCallum became the butt of the at
tack OF the members of this militant
political organization. He stood his
ground we'll and fought back in a
manner that won for him the ad-
miration of his friends and the re-
spect of his opponents.
Mr.. McCallum had been a. sufferer
for the past ten years. During all of
that time his life had been despaired
OF, but he combatted his disease with
marvellous determination, Just as he
had made the fight in his early life in
behalf OF the struggling men Of la
Dor. Death finally won.
While he was in ill health he act
ed as private secretary for four years
under Mayor Cullum, after which he
went into the brokerage business.
He left for San Antonio late last
tall to get away from the severity
of the northern Minnesota climate.
He had no relatives in Duluth. His
fiancee, Miss Glen Blackwood, left
for San Antonio Saturday to take
charge of the remains. The funeral
was held yesterday at Sheboygan,
Mich.

policies that only two years ago
might have saved it. They learn, but

r. r. EARNINGS AND WAGES.

Turing 1903, according to tae
~ Wall Street Journal. the gross
earnings Of the combined railway sys-
TENS amounted to $1,s50,747,6a6,
while the wages paid to the employees
amounted to &757,321,415, or $3.50
per cent Of the gross earnings.
The next highest point reached in
this comparison was in 1908, when
the gross earnings reached $2.457,-
s21,1a1. while the wages of the rail-
road employees amounted to $685.
437.62S. or 42.13 per cent. ~,
From 1908 up to the beginning Of
the fiscal year 1912, there was a de-
crease in the percentages between
gross earnings and total amount of
wages. In 1912 the Gross earnings Of
the railroads reached $2,s95,690,325,
while the employees received $1,243,-
677,73S, or 1895 per cent of the gross
earnings.
In the. aggregate, this shows an in
crease in the percentage of the gross
from 1882 per cent to 1896 per cent,
or an increase of Alb per cent in nine
years.
This comparison, of course, includes
all classes Of labor employed upon
the railways.
The Wall Street Journal is en-
phatic In its statement that the time
has come for q halt in the advancing
wage scales.
1t might be suggested to the finan-
clal journal mentioned that if the
bill now before congress providing for
physical valuation Of railroad prop
critics becomes a law, mighty inter-
esting story can be written which will
throw a sidelight upon the railroad
business of this country which the
railroad interests would not like to
have told.
