"sTRlkE LOSSES"

Every time there is strike Of
workingmen to secure what they be-
lieve belongs to them in wages, hours
or conditions, some editorial satellite
of corporate greed comes out with a
bunch Of figures to horrify the work
ers with the monumental loss they are
sustaining. A case in point is fur
nished by the recent carpenters strike
in Chicago. A cheerful idiot, with
plenty Of time on his hands, has reck.
oned by some system of mathematical
hOcus pocus that If the strike should
be successful, each striker, in order
to get even, would be obliged to work
thirteen days at the increased wages
for every idle day while he was on
strike, or, that IL the strike lasted
thirty days, that each worker would
lose $156, and that it would require
thirteen months work at the in
creased wages to get even.
We haven't a lot Of sympathy with
analytical gymnastics such as these,
but we would like to know how the
Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1915-06-17
figures would stand If the workers

made no protest and submitted to re-
auctions Of wages as often as an en-
ployer might Ind occasion to make
them. Such lguring reminds one of
little Johnnie at school, when the
teacher got slightly twisted in stating
the question of the man in the els
tern. Johnnie was asked to find out
how long it would take the man to
crawl out If he climbed up fifty feet
each day and slipped back seventy
I'VE feet each night. "Just minute -
howled Johnnie after he had figured
for nearly three hours: Gimme just
another minute more and I'll have hin!
in perdition."
Why not reckon the matter from
the other side as well. Why shouldn't
the employer be willing to arbitrate
before his men leave their tasks and
thus save himself loss and inconven-
fence? There is no danger that work
ingmen will be overpaid, just for the
present, at least. In the west. in
states like California. where wages av-
erage twice as much as In the east In

The Canton city council by unanf-
NOUS vote has ordered that hereafter
only members of organized labor can
be employed on work. done by or for
the city Of Canton.
In urging the adoption of this reso-
luton unionists insisted that: "Con-
tractors figure on the basis of the pre-
vailing union wage, and inasmuch as
the laboring men carry the burden OF
maintaining those wages, they are en-
TITLED to any money the city may
spend on public works, and that
through their labor unions they main
tain the rate contractors accept, even
though the contractors refuse to rec
ognize the union"

COLUMBUS, O., June 14.-GoVernor
Willis has signed the Gallagher bill,
which provides that it shall be OPP
tional with mine owners and employees
whether the latter shall be paid for
coal mined before it is screened, or
afterward.
This means that the Green anti
screen law, which provided for run
Of mine system (pay for all the coal
mined) is repealed. The Green law
was passed last year after twenty
years fight by the workers. 1t was
introduced by Secretary Green of the
United Mine Workers of America, who
was then state senator. There is some
discussion among unionists of forcing
a referendum on this question, al
though Ohio miners have secured the
run of mine system through their or
ganized movement.
