BY Frank Morrison, Secretary
of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
POINTS TO TENDENCIES
Cry of preparedness" Seized
to Emphasize the Need of
Better Labor Conditions.


WASHINGTON. Sept. frank
Morrison. secretary of the American
Federation of Labor, has Just made
public the following statement in re-
view of the labor situation:
1T is impossible to record funda-
mental agitation or to individualize
probable gains during the year to
come.
The best we can do is to observe
tendencies. Prominent among these
is the workers seizure OF the cry for
preparedness to emphasize danger
in industry more deadly than battle
fields.
Thousands Are Killed.
Government statistics show that
10000 men are annually killed and
100000 are annually injured for a
period of four weeks, or over.
ut has been stated that every year
there are over 100000 case of in
1uStrial illness, caused mainly by long
hours, low wages, dust, bad air,
fumes. smoke, poisonings. and poor
ventilation and that through typhoid
fever and malaria alone $500, 700, 900
is annually lost TO this nation.
Enough to equip the largest army and
navy in the world, and then have a
balance sufficient to pay the tuition
OF every boy now in college.
Should Prevent Wastage.
"A system of national prepared
ness that does not include recognt-
tion OF this frightful and preventa-
BILE wastage is the preparedness urged
BY big business. A morality that Ig-
nores these facts and condemns war
u based on meaningless phrases.
SAnother present-day tendency is
the acceptance of organized labor's
position on immigration restriction.
During the last year the acid test of
experience has verified the claim of
trade unions that American institu-
lions can not assimilate, nor Ameri-
ian living standards resist. the flood
ides OF induced immigration that has
been the policy of captains of indus
.ry. Information and reports receiv-
I'd by the officers of the American
Federation Of Labor clearly demon
strates the fact that labor famine
exists only where employers still de-
nand long hours at low wages, and
where they ignore the living stand
ards set by the workers. Another
element among employers who talk
OF the scarcity of labor do so to entfce
4 sufficient number OF idle workers
10 their factory gates as menace to
those employed and who are liable
10 demand better conditions. These
employers oppose restriction of i'm
migration because restriction will de-
feat their policy of having two or
man at-orp
Opposition to Injunctions.
Another tendency is the growing
opposition to labor injunctions, which
class labor power as property. The
Congress Of the United States has
voiced this opposition in amendments
TO the antitrust laws. Judicial in
corporations of the term property
in the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution are losing their
