The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-12-02
COURT UPHOLDS LABOR LAW

Madison, Wis-The state supreme
court has reversed itself in the case
of the State versus the Lange Canning
Company and now rules that the state
industrial commission may determine
what classes 'of labor are dangerous or
prejudicial to the health, safety and
welfare of women and how long they
may be engaged in a specific occupation
without detrimental consequences.
The court held contrary opinion
last May when it ruled that that ,por-
ton of the law was unconstitutional be-
cause it was legislative function and
the state legislature has no right to
delegate its power to commission
The state asked the court to review
the case, and this petition was support
ed by the state federation of labor. In
its later decision the court withdrew its
former ruling, but declined to mark the
boundaries OF the commissions author
itv on the ground that each order must
be Judged by itself. The court says that
the law should be upheld for the rea,,
son that the authority thus conferred
invests the commission with no arOl-
trarv and uncontrolled discretion, but
directs them to ascertain the facts and
to apply the rules of law thereto under
the prescribed rules and conditions,
Such action is not legislative, but has
the prominence OF executive and minis
terial party within the requirements pro-
vded in the act.
In the earlier decision, on the qu,es-
tion of the proper hours for part day
and part night work, Justice Rosenberg
ruled that since it was clearly the ann
OF the legislature to limit the hours of
labor for women's work, no matter what
part of the day these hours covered
the limitation as to the amount OF work
done in any one day, meaning thereby
the period from midnight to midnight
is limited to 10 hours" This part OF the
former ruling is again upheld, the Ian
cuaee OF the latter ruling would seem
to imply.

WANT LIVING COST PROBED.

Baltimore. Md.-The \. +. OF l..
convention has declared i'll favor OF the
appointment OF a Federal commission
to investigate the high cost OF living
and recommend to Congress measure,
designed to remedy this situation and
to prevent its recurrence The resolu-
ton was submitted by Secretary
Green oi the United Mine Workers OF
America. 1t is declared that the
prices oi all ncccssaries OF life have
increased and are continuing to in
crease So rapidly as to constitute a
menace to the standard of living OF the
American wagc-carner," and that the
enormous profits amaSscd by gram
SPECTATORS. meat packers, mine own
crs. many manufacturers. and by job
bers and dealers in food and other COM
moditcs. as well aS by the railroads,
express companies and other public
service corporations, indicate that these
prices are, to a large extent, artificial
and unjustifiable.'

ORGANIZATION THE THING.

Chicago.-Editor Sweeney, editor of
The Tailor, official newspaper OF the
Journeymen Tailors' union, places more
Importance on the power of organization
than on employers signatures to con-
tracts.
"Any trade, we'll organized he writes,
could enforce union conditions in any
shop without signed agreement and II
it is not well organized union conditions
will not prevail ,-...
"Some time ago we received lettel
from a secretary of local union. lie
stated that the union accepted the word
of an employer in lieu of his signature
He said We will see to it that he keeps
his word By that he meant that the
union would continue in a position to
enforce union conditions i'll the shop
We have had no complaint from that
union up to the present time. and don't
expect any so long as the union is well
organized. Organization is OF more I'M
portance than signature to an agree
ment.'

AK Over ,NOnWorkcrS.


At the morning session the convention
voted to revoke the charter of the Inter
national Association of Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers on April 9,
1917, if it does not revoke the charter
of Local Union No. III, Of New York,
on or before April /, 1917.
This spirit Of industrial organization
in larger units is said to be beginning
of the revival of the principles that left
the Federation when the proponents Of
those principles in their most radical
form seeded and organized the Inter
national Workers of the World. The
conservative "Old Guard" of the Fed
Grafton has, however, too firm grip on
its government to let industrial organi-
zation run riot ut this convention.
How firm that grip is in other re-
Spects, however. will get the supreme
test probably today when the commit
tee on resolutions begins its report
The Federation will be called upon to
take its stand upon the question of a
universal eight-hour day for all workers
both by industrial and Legislative ac-
ton. 1t is well known that President
Gompers has consistently opposed the
securing of the eight-hour day by legis-
lation, upon the ground that what one
! Legislature. gives, another can take
away. He wants the eight-hour princi-
pie more firmly established than that
and he wants it to come by degrees with
the backing of judicial decisions Op-
posed to him and the conservatives, who
include virtually every member of the
executive council, are the Socialists, aid
ed by the garment workers, most OF
them women, and the mine workers.
Three Eight-Hour Resolutions.
There are three of these resolutions
One comes from the Stcnographers
Typewrters and Bookkeepers' Union
another from the Central Federated
Union Of New York and the third from
the Little Rock (Ark.) Central Labor
Union The strongest is the last one. II
calls for universal eight-hour day as
standard workday for all mechanical
industrial and mercantile establishments
throughout the entire United States, by
legislative enactment"

EIGHT HOUR LAW VOID
SAYS FEDERAL COURT

Kansas City NIo.-Wednesday, Nov.
%, Judge VIM c. Hook of the United
States Circuit Court, held that the
Adamson railroad eight-hour law is un-
constitutional and denied the Govern
ment'S plea that an injunction suit start
ed by the Missouri, Oklahoma & Gulf
railroad be dismissed
This road is in the hands of receivers,
who were appointed by udge Hook.
The case was presented to the court
the day previous and Judge Hook
acknowledged 1T is far from being an
agreeable duty for a judge to record a
judicial conclusion without the care and
deliberation essential to a conviction
that he would stand to in every circum-
stance"
Upon consideration of the Adam
son lal1 and of what is said OF its prac
tical effect, and what was intended tc
be accomplished by it, the judgment /,
that, as the court construes the terms
of the law, it can not be sustained.
Judge Hook stated that while the
Government is not entitled to special
consideration, its department of justice
is entitled TO every consideration in its
plea for haste in settling the contro-
versv. The court therefore, issued the
order in such form that an appeal goes
direct to the United States Supreme
Court, which convenes December next
The Government Immediately notified
Judge Hook that it would appeal from
his decision.
The Adamson law reads that same
/ shall take effect January l next.

UNIONISTS VISIT PRESIDENT.

Washington.-Ove 500 delegates and
visitors to the A. +. of l.. convention
at Baltimore journeyed to this city last
Saturday on special train to pay their
respects to the chief executive of the
nation.
After inspecting the new A. F. of L.
building, the delegation, headed by a
brass band, marched to the White House.
President Gompers conveyed to the pres
ident the congratulations of that body
upon his reelection and their wishes for
successful administration.
President Wilson, in short speech,
said, in part:
Nothing alarms America SO much as
rift, divisions, the drifting apart of ele-
ments among her people, and the thing
we ought all to strive for is to close up
every rift, and the only way to do it,
so far as can see, is to establish justice,
but justice with heart in it, justice
with pulse in it, justice with sympathy
in it. Justice can be cold and forbid
ding, or it can be warm and welcome,
and the latter is the only kind of JUS
tice that Americans ought to desire
The occasion was the first of its kind
in the history of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.

TWO FACTIONS AGREE
To Aid Commission i'm Investigating
Operation of AdamsOn Act.

New York-An agreement has been
reached by the railroads and by the
trainmcn with the Federal commission
appointed by President Wilson to OBJ
serve the operation OF the AdamSon act,
regarding the commissions plans to
collect the required data in an accurate
and reliable manner satisfactory to the
roads and the men, it was announced
here by Interstate Commerce CommiS-
sioner f. +. Clark, member of the COM
mission Both sides have promised that
all information desirable could be at
the commissions disposal, Mr.. Clark
said.
The commission, Of which Major
General George W. Goethals is chair
man, met the trainmen brotherhood
representatives in a conference similar
to the one it held with railroad prcsi-
dents last week.
The railroad presidents informed us
that whatever information we requested
would be at our disposal" Mr.. Clark
said "The brotherhood chiefs have
been equally agreeable. They have
both agreed to take the necessary steps
for the submission OF certified reports. y
The commission will hold public hear
ings ii it finds they are necessary, Mr.
Clark said.
The brotherhood representatives were
Warren S. Stone, OF the Locomotive
Engineers; William S. Carter, of the
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen;
William G.. Lee, of the Order of Rail
way Trainmen, and Edward L. Shep-
pard, OF the Order of Railway Con
duCtors.

WAGE INCREASE \ "BLUFF." "

Syracuse, n. N.-The recent widely
heralded wage increases that meat
packers voluntarily awarded their en-
ployeS is commented on as follows by
Secretary Treasurer Homer ID. Call, of
the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen:
AT the time the employers made the
bluff of increasing wages of all employ
es 2H cents per hour, we felt confident
that it was only play to the galleries,
with no intention of continuing it.
"The following extract from one let
ter received practically explains the sit
uation. The writer says;
THE announcement raise through the
press of the country some time ago has
never been secured here. Some few
weeks ago, when ~ of the men in one
of the largest firms signed petition
asking for it, they were Immediately dis
charged
tretary-Treasurer Call declares that
the wage announcement was only a
sop thrown to employees to have them
believe they would receive better treat
ment. "We are in position to state,
says the unionist, that it has not been
carried out in many localities and wher-
ever it has been demanded has resulted
in the discharge of the employees"
Butchers and meat cutters are urged
to depend upon themselves and join the
union OF their craft, instead of depend
ing upon the generosity of meat pack
erS.

MINERS GET WAGE BOOSTS.

Birmingham, Ala.-Twenty thousand
Alabama miners are affected by general
wage increases announced by the Ala
bama Coal Operators Association.
The advance is not horizontal, the
greatest percentage OF increase going
to the miners who make the smallest
wages The immediate effect is to in
crease the pay rolls about $4,000 a
month Every operating company in
the district participates.

Gompers Scores Judge
For 8-Hour Day Decision
Why Did He Not Declare 1t Constitutional Instead
of Unconstitutional?

An arraignment by Samuel Gompers
of Federal Judge Hook for declaring
the Adamson eight-hour law unconsti-
tutional coupled with the strongest
fight talk the American Federation
of. Labor has heard at this convention,
brought every delegate in the hall to
his feet in a wild demonstration. The
cheering lasted fully five minutes, men
and women delegates together waving
their hands i'll the air and shouting.
Gompers was replying to a newspaper
attack upon him and the Federation
He began to speak shortly after the
convention began its afternoon session
at . O'Clock, and his attack upon Judge
Hook and his decision came near the
end of his speech.
"If it was the intention of Judge
Hook to give an opportunity to test the
constitutionality of the Adamson law"
shouted Gompers, 'why did he not de-
clare it constitutional instead of uncon-
stitutional, and why did he not place
the burden of proof on the railroad
managers, who wanted to evade and
avoid it, instead of upon the Govern
ment? | call that to your attention be-
cause it is another evidence of the eX-
istencc in this country of an old-time
judiciary acting under the principles Of
the old regime, which regarded labor as
property"
"We Will Resist
Here he reiterated the words of the
Federation's resolution that has said
Judges antagonistic to organized labor
must be disobeyed' and said, "Diso-
bedience to tyranny is obedience to
Cod He continued slowly, stamping
his foot and humping the table to give
his words emphasis:
at is not we who make the attack
Organized labor is on the defensive
But if fight is to be made to take
away from our men, women and chill
dren the advantages we have fought to
obtain, then they had better look out
We are not going to be forced back
We wilPresist-resist to the uttermost
Gompers roared the last four words
at the convention, and J. Hanson, OF
England, sitting on the platform, leaped
upon his chair with sheet of paper il
his upraiscd hand In an instant every
delegate in the hall was standing, shout
ing up at Gompers. They began to sit
