The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-07-08

tee We deem it an essential step to-
ward democracy and justice that there
shall be established for the masses
who have hitherto been without regu-
lar agencies for expressing their views
and desires opportunities that will en-
able them to have voice in helping to
determine international affairs
The labor movements of the vari-
Gus countries constitute the instru-
mentalities that can best accomplish
this purpose and give expression to ma
tlonal ideas and convictions that have
been too long inarticulate and impo-
tent. We direct that the President OF
the American Federation of Labor and
the official representatives of organ
lied labor OF Mexico should keep in
touch through correspondence and that
they be authorized to carry out the
purposes specified in this declaration
In joint conference as the repre-
Scntatives OF the workers. the masses
OF our respective countries, we urge
upon our government to adjust exist
ing differences without war and to es-
tablish conditions conducive to perma-
nent peace with justice.
1--WE appeal to the workers and all
of the people of the United States and
Of Mexico to do everything within their
power to promote correct understand
ing Of purposes and actions; to prevent
friction, to encourage good will and to
effect a harmonious cooperation in the
establishing of our mutual welfare.

Decision of Democratic Supreme
Court Shows His Interpretation Is
Correct, Executive Declares.

Columbus, O., July 3.-Prompt de-
fense of the State administration was
made today by Governor Frank b. Will
lis against the charge of former Cover
nor James NJ. Cox that the destruction
of the Workmen's Compensation law is
contemplated Governor Willis referred
to the fact that on the membership of
the Ohio Supreme Court, which gave
part Interpretation of the law, are four
Democrats, two Republicans and one In
dependent The Chief Justice, he says,
was named by former Governor Cox
himself
at NAV also be noted" he says, that
former Governor Harmon was one of
the able counsel appearing in this case"
Governor Willis raises the question of
whether the former Governor means to
"repudate all these eminent urists."
He continues:
"The Republican party and the
present Republican Administration are
strongly in favor of the Workmen's
Compensation law; Republicans are def
uitely pledged to its maintenance and
will support only such amendments to
the law as will strengthen it and in
crease the benefits enjoyed under it by
workingmen and their families. If there
is any plot against the law it is not
Republican plot.
"ln the campaign of 1914 it was
charged by Governor Cox and his
friends that if the Republicans came
into power the Workmen's Compensa-
ton law would be destroyed This has
not occurred ; on the contrary, the work
men of Ohio are enjoying larger bene-
fits under the law than ever before: so
per cent more claims have been allowed
in the past six months than in any SINH
lar period since the law was enacted
Republicans have administered and in
terpreted the law as they found it, and
their Interpretation has been sustained
by the Supreme Court.
"'The claim that the law is about to
be destroyed was made in 1914 for po-
litical effect. The claim was as empty
then as it is false and foundationless
now"

RIGHTS OF AMERICANS
DENIED BY INJUNCTION

Indanapolis.-"The government of the
United States, through congress, has
said that the labor power of human
being is not commodity or article of
commerce, says the United Mine
Workers Journal
But, while this human labor power,
which includes the worker himself, is
conceded by the federal government, not
the property of any except the worker
himself, to grant or withhold, singly or
! collectively, as he. decides, many of the
judges of state or district courts still
hold the contrary to be the fact. In
no state in the Union can there be any
written law to justify such position
the laws of equity, defined in every
other country, and now by the govern
ment of the United States as only ap-
plying to property disputes when ire
tricvablc damage may be done, and for
which there is no other redress, is based
on what is known as the common law,
based on the laws of chancery of the
monarchial governments.
I'VE hold that the expression of the
government of this country on the
status of citizen within this country
must be binding in every state,
1--WE have always maintained that the
writ Of injunction when applied to the
labor power Of human beings was only
based upon usurped power; yet it was
found necessary to enact supplement-
AIRY law to wrench this usurped power
from the hands Of venal ignorant or
subservient federal judges. 1t may he
best to demand laws, conforming witt.
the law Of the country, in all of the
states.
! 'ln the meantime we do not believe
it best to submit to injustice through
usurped power.
I'VE hold it is the right and duty o
all the workers to disregard the CLAIM
Of property right in labor power ever
when allowed by the ermined servitor
Of the employers.
"It may mean Imprisonment for some
but only by determined resistance cal
we hope to call attention to the injustic
of this assumed power

EIGHT-HOUR DAY GRANTED
by Part of Shops and Machinists
Return To Work.

Philadelphia, July Sit was announc-
ed at union headquarters today that some
OF the employers had granted the de
mands of the striking machinists and
that 5000 men had returned to work
on an eight-hour basis, with time and
a half for overtime.
About 1000 men are still out, most of
them on picket duty, according to lead
crS of the strike, who added that be-
tween 5000 and 1000 skilled workmen
had left to accept positions in other
cities.
Employers contradict the figures OF
union officials, maintaining that only {
negligible number OF machinists have
quit work. The strike, which was call
ed last Saturday by the Machinsts' In,
ternational Association, has had no Sc.
rious effect, the employers declare
Statements contained in an advertise
ment last week and signed by 65 large
concerns that it is impossible to gran

MEAT CUTTERS AWAKE.

hour. Before the strike these employers
paid this rate to their highest skilled

Enginemen has voted greater power to
its president in cases where members are

bodies will spring movements to bring
about a change in the workmen's com
pensation law by reason OF the partial
decision OF the Supreme Court with
reference to it.
1t was predicted today by those in a
position to know that the State Fedora
ton OF Labor will initiate bill to make
the state monopoly in workmen's com
pensation complete, eliminating the pro-
vision which gives large employers of
labor chance to carry their own in
dustrial insurance.
Kindred sections that seem to confer
even limited authority for the liability
insurance companies to participate in
the system are certain to be included
in the proposed repeater.

Fear Law Is In Danger.

At the bottom of the early discussion
OF the movement is story OF wide
spread feeling on the part OF toilers.
which has been noted in many quar-
ters, that despite all the avowals that
have been made. the workmen's com
pensation law is in danger and is likely
to fall by process OF slow strangula-
ton or to be perverted so that its orig
inal friends will not recognize it.
While the initiated bill that is sug-
gested could not be put before the
voters until 1917, the situation has been
brought about by the famous ruling OF
Superintendent of Insurance Frank Tag
gart and the partial Interpretation OF
the law is to be employed as an issue
by the Democrats in their fall can
vass. On authority it is stated that
reference to the matter will surely be
made in the Democratic state platform
to be adopted next month. Whether
the party will go so far as to promise
the elimination OF the seli-insurance
feature is doubtful, but it is apparently
determined on the liability insurance
question.
