The daily Nome industrial worker., 1916-01-24

There is just one efficiency today and that is industrial efficiency The industries are controlled by the un- skilled, not by the skilled, and we have repeatedly seen that in times of strike in industries the very first to surrender and return were the skilled men who have made an hereditary boast of their unionism.
 It can be said frankly and clearly that there is not a craft union today which can defy employers success fully. The only reason that they are not fighting employers in be- cause they work on the employers terms.
 Anytime that employers saw fit to fight craft unions, even the strong est, they have done so successfully and the officials of craft unions have been shrewd enough to see that ana to adopt for their own preservation policy of strict conservatism which being more freely translated means taking what the employers gives, as the only policy.
 Search any agreement among these craft unions with employers and nine times out of ten the em pIoyers concessions are trivival and on paper, while the workers to gain their craft some little exclusive cor tro1 of the jobs, practically sa.- rendered everything.
 Nearly all tie vital labor struggles in the United States are carried or either by the unskilled and unorga- nized or by the industrial organi- cations. The craft unions dare no: move 2 step. And it has to be ad mitted that even in the railroad In- dustry before the craft brotherhoods could think of making an aggressive move for the eight hour day, they had to get all the orders in the in .Guctry together first, vote togethe" and agree to act together for arl eight hour day that some of the of
 fcials fought so hard against tn 7ir even considering. Eventually ot course the industrial union will
 come to it's own. But not before the craft unions will recognize the i'm
 possible and wholly archaic position
 they occupy in the world of labor today.

members because of their craftsman ship and they oppose any dissolu- l tion of the craft organization in favor of tho industrial form of or ganization. Moreover they have very often succeeded by conservative tactics on the labor field, in ingra- tiating themselves with the cm- ployers and have cast iron contracts whereby they agree to labor for q certain wage while the employer agrees to boycott all other labor but that which belongs to the craft union.
 Then having thus firmly enscon- ced themselves on the industrial field, they proceed to dictate terms to the rest of the workers witi1 whom they recognized nothing what ever in common. They jealousy guard any encroachment upon their own field of craft, and jurisdictional squabbles are inevitable, squabbles which have been the despair or unionists and the laughing stock of employers.
 It is hard to imagine any systeIi of organization more completely uu- scientific and more completely inedl- cient. The enormous sum spent in unnecessary salaries could be much more effectively devoted to orgaa5- zatioa, end the moneys collected preserved Gs war cnogt winch would be handy when a big struggle would fall upon an industrial orga- nization. Moreover it is not. to be questioned that in keeping the workers divided up into unions by craft, the craft system is really o Successful means of disuniting i rather than solidifying tho workers
 Today there is not single justi- fcation for the existence of any craft union in any industry y-not one. The basis upon which they are organized: their skill is nothing at all. Unskilled men can be put to
 work and have been put to work
 successfully at the most highly skill lied trade without any trouble. AL though it may be quite true tha- the British government which is trying to dilute the ranks of the
 skilled with unskilled does so fo1 she purpose of lowering the wage scale. yet the mere fact that this ci- lntion can be successfully done is proof itself that skill is nothing in
 these days.
 It is obvious that if the unskilled
 are also organized they then ca"-
 not be made use of to decrease
 wages. And it has got to come t.
 this. There is no reason why all
 workers should not be organized
 There is no room for job trusts eX F cluding workers from positions o,
 monopolizing from the rest for g
 few aristocrats of labor, the job;
 they have organized to contro
 against fellow workers.

OPENING IDAHO NORTHERN
Short Line Has Crew of Is Men Bat
thing With Snow Slides

/ InIS Win OilOH DllQeS
Every possible facility of the Ore
gon Short Line is being brought into
service to clear the Idaho Northern
branch of the immense snow slides
that still block the right of way for
distance of over 20 miles, according to
Assistant Superintendent C. E.
Brooks who returned to Nampa yes
terday after spending three days
experimenting the work of removing
the slides.
Mr.. Brooks brought down a number
of photographs that clearly show the
difficult problem confronting the
Short Line on its idaho Northern
branch. In some places the snow has
to be shoveled away by hand for a
depth of twenty to thirty feet before
the rotary pillow can be used, and it
will handle snow to depth of twelve
feet. One slide was over forty-six
feet deep. Not only is the track
blocked with snow but rocks, gravel,
and huge trees have fallen across the
tracks in some places. In such cases
it is necessary to use an "orange peel''
dredge to clear away the debris.
Four locomotives are required to
push the rotary through the heavily
packed snow. Gun powder and dyna-
mite have been tried without success.
Seventy-ive men are now employed
on the "slide crew." Their wages and
the cost of fuel and supplies makes
the work on the Idaho Northern cost
the railroad company something like
$500 day.
The road has now been cleared as
far as Smith Ferry but Superintend-
ent Brooks will venture no guess as to
when it will be cleared to the lakes
