Says Commons Pan Is Not
Scientific.

Cincinnati, Oct. %. The press
bureau of the American Economic
league makes this comment on the
Manly and the Commons reports
to the commission on industrial re
lations:
walsh finds industrial unrest
to b. due to (1) unjust distribution
of wealth and income; (2) unem
ployment and denial of opportunity
to earn a living; (3) denial of jns-
tice in the creation, il the adjudi-
cation and in the administration of
law; (4) denial of right and oppor-
tunity TO form effective organiza-
tions.
Commons finds the cause to be
the breakdown in the administra-
ton of labor laws.
"It Is clear that Walsh has made
a deeper investigation than Prof,
Commons into the cause of unrest.
One need not be a trained econo-
mist to note the absurdity of Com
mons explanation. There must
have been industrial unrest before
there were any labor laws probably
long before. 1t was to aliay such
unrest that these laws have been
enacted. Then how can industrial
unrest be correctly attributed to a
cause that was not in existence
when 1t first arose
Illogical and unscientific is Prof.
Commons in suggesting remedy.
He would put administration oi
laws regarding industrial matters
in the hands of commission. Thi.
commission is to be sort Of ben
evolent despot, and under it work
ers will be about in the same posi-
tion as convicts in penitentiar,
managed by humane, liberal, jus
and enlightened warden. How
many workers would be contente'
under such conditions ?"

Union Policies Contrasted.

Indianapolis, Oct. 29 Writing
in the Official journal of the Bro
therhood of Teamsters, Secretary
Solem, of Minneapolis Milk Wagon
Drivers union, contrasts the policy
of that organization and former
local in the same callirg at St.
Paul Both unions were organized
about three years ago. After six
months St. Paul demanded wage
increases that averaged 81 a day
per memoer and refused to com
promise In another six months
the union disappeared and since
then these drivers have suffered
S. per month reduction and are
now working f-r $50 and S55 per
month with no vacation.
The Minneapolis drivers adopted
more cautious plan. By thorough
organization they put all employers
on the same competitibe basis and
then began improving working con-
ditiops and raising wages. Their
present rates are $75 month with
two week vacation.

workers employed in what is known

The men say that the treatment
accorded them by the foremen, OF

to patronize the company stores,
and all bills, after one week, are
deducted from the pay envelope.

Says Fire Plan Is Wrong

Del Monte, Cal, Oct. 29.-In
an address before the national con-
vention of insurance commissioners
President John S. Darst blamed
the agency system in writing IN
surence for much of the enormous
waste by fire in the United States
every year The speaker is state
Insurance commissioner of West
Virginia He said the principal
concern of agents is not to get good
business for insurance companies,
but to find companies willing to ac-
cept risks that their better judge
ment should cause them to refuse.
Compensation allowed fire insur-
ance agents is far in excess of what
it should be for the service rem
dered. Greed Of the companies
caused them to issue policies re-
gardless of conditions. They had
shown their inability to reduce fire
waste, he declared, and he sugges-
Ted as a remedy that agents com
missi IN be fixed ly law or a con-
tingent basis, according to the
quality of the risk. He said this
should be the first step toward re-
ducing waste by FIRE, now encour-
aged by loose agency methods.

A. F. of l.. Officials Treat Rookie
feller's ''Union" Lightly.
BY President GOmpers.

So Mr.. Rockefeller has formed
a union.-a a union of his employees
of his Colorado Fuel and Iron com-
pany, and perhaps imagines that
he has solved the problem of just
relations between himself and his
employees. But with all his wealth
and all his brains, and the brains
that he could buy and suborne, he
has missed his mark. Imagine an
organization of miners formed by
the richest man in he world who
employees its members. What IN
Influence can such a pseudo union
have to insist upon the remedylng
of a grevous wrong or the attain
ment of a real right? And wnat
about the representative of be
men sitting around the table,
with Mr.. Rockefeller and his an
gelic representatives out in Colora-
do, should the miners spokesman
have the temerity of lnsistence in
the rightful d. mands of the miners?
The miners employed by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company,
of which Mr.. Rockefeller is the
head, have been whipped by means
of atrocious brutality and hunger
into submission, back to the mines.
And these miners have been formed
into a union by Mr.. Rockefeller S
benevolent altruism. But he has
organized them, and for that, at
any rate, labor is truly grateful,
for when men come together to
discuss, even in the most cusory
way, Their rights and their inter
ests and welfare, there is afforded
the spleneid field for development
and opportunity.
After what Mr.. Rockefeller has
done, that is, to organize "unicn n
of miners in Colorado, he should
carry his benevolent and practical
purpose into full execution in all
his varied industries and not wait
until another massacre, the like
of which occurred at Ludlow,
should break out at one of his
other industrial institutions. Dc
not stop at Colorado, Organizer
Rockefeller

BY Secretary Morrison.

Mr.. Rockefeller plant is signi-
fcart. In his alleged collective
bargaining" plan he yields more
than any other employer hostile to
the trade union movement.
He says he acknowledges the
principle of collective bargaining,
and TO enforce his conception of
this theory creates union and
evolves comprehensive plan that,
the press states, is financed by the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company.
We are told these workers will be
permitted to present their griev-
| anceS.
Organized workers present their
grievances through the power of
their economic organization. They
enforce their right to have a voice
in the disposal of their labor power.
Mr.. Rockefeller plan provides
that workers will be permitted
to present grievances. If one dis
sects this theory he sees that the
power that permits" can also
withdraw any time it elects.
Herein is the fundamental differ
ence between the Rockefeller plan
and that of trade unions. One de-
velopes independence, the other re-
lies on the graciousness and good
will of the employer. There can
be no compromise between the two
theories, for if workingmen are tn
be really free their right to regu-
late their own lives must be ack-
nowledged.
Mr.. Rockefeller welfare plan
contains nothing newt is only a
repitition of efforts made by EN-
players to keep their workmen sat,
ished
| am sure that time will demon
strate that the plan prepared by
Rockefeller for his employees in
Colorado will prove full cousin
to the other schemes of like char.
acter inaugurated for the sole pur-
pose of preventing organization ol
employees that will enable them tc
secure improved conditions.

HAWK TRAINED TO FISH IN LAKE
Indian Pete's Family Enjoying Catfish
Diet By Lucky Invention

Reno Gazette: Indian Pete and
family. including Grab, his pet hawk,
are living high on fish these days.
Grab has developed into the best
fisherman on the lake.
Folks living neaU Washoe Lake
have been bothered for years by the
catfish eating their ducks. Every
time the ducks went for swim on
the lake. the catfish either bit their
legs off or pulled them under the
water and drowned them. Pete
vowed vengeance.
Last Summer he shot a young
hawk. wounding it. He carried it
home and tried to tame it. He sue
ceeded in part, but the hawk seized
everyone and every animal that came
near him excepting Pete. He can't
fly because wing is crippled. but
he certainly can fasten his talons into
dog and hang on; hence his name,
Grab.
This Spring Pete had an idea. He
kept feeding fish to Grab, who be-
came very fond of them. Then he
got two of those long rubber squeal-
ers the kids use. blew them up, tied
them so the air could not escape, fast
ened them under Grabs wings and
rowed out into Washoe Lake.
He dropped Grab into the water.
The hawk didn't like it at first,
but pretty soon found the bladders
held him up and went floating around.
Along came five-pound catfish and
made snatch at Grabs legs. He
probably was the most surprised cat
fish in the world. Grab got him
right by the jaw and hung on until
Pete lifted the catfish into the boat.
Now Grab enjoys it, and Pete says
the hawk stands on his window sill
and screams at him every morning
and won't keep quiet until the blad-
ders are fastened under his wings so
he can go fishing.
