WIPE OUT UNIONS
Frisco Chamber Of Commerce
Will Spend Million to op-
pose Organized Labor.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-1n or
der to start a general offensive not
only to break the effective strike
along the waterfront, but against or
ganiZed labor, in order to break down
shop principle throughout the state,
the chamber Of commerce at it's last
meeting here adopted resolutions to
appoint a law and order committee.
to raise one million dollars for this
campaign. Already 100000 has
been subscribed for this purpose and
more is in sight.
What this Flaw and order commit
tee" will do can be judged best from
the statements made at the meeting
by Robert Rollar, the shipping king,
which follow: $50 -
Lets fight" he said. IF a. peace
full working man is beaten up BY a
striker, then beat up two strikers in
turn
In view Of the fact that the ship
owners have been particularly exas-
perated by the peacefulness OF the
dock workers strike-the only ones
killed. or beaten up so far having
been union men this. comes as moth
ing less than an open declaration OF
war to enforce the open shop along
the coast.
President Roster, Of the Chamber
OF Com,..erce, asserted:
1--WE are not going to lean ,on any
one on the. outside to- see this Job
through. for us. We are going to do
the, job ourselves, and do it thor

Is prepared to go as far as it may be

tions existing on the waterfront"

ger came to this city yesterday to ad-
dress the knit goods manufacturers.
His home is at Gibraltar, Bucks
County, Pa.
According to the Consul, whose dis
trict comprises one of the richest in
dustrial sections Of Germany, every
German employer of labor knows that
he will never again be able to get labor
as cheap as it was before the war.
Seltzer made this statement in re-
Spouse to the query of manufacturer
who said that American knitters are
getting as high as $s5 week, while
the Germans get but 50 a week.
'"The labor problem in Germany
will be one Of the most serious diff
culties the country will have to face
after the war;" said the Consul. Here
tofore the Germans have not had
much trouble with labor, due to lack
of organization and other causes. But
the cost Of hving"is going UP ad, with
the additional taxes to be levied after
the war; It will go UP still higher, in
all probability. It will then be neces-
sary for the workingman to demand
higher wages, and, as the supply of
labor will be short; the employers will
have to pay. ''''' - '':''''~'
'"rhere is plenty Of evidence that
Germany intends to prevent her work.
ers from coming to this country after
the war. She has already prohibited
emigration from the conquered sec=
tions of Poland. In my opinion, it will
be five years: before Germany is in
a position to compete with American
manufacturers, not only in our mar
kets, but in her own. And it may be
longer than that before labor need
fear any large invasion Of Germans.
What: holds true of Germany, Of
course, holds true elsewhere. Not one
of the warning nations of Europe will
be in a position to permit It's workers
to leave in any large numbers when
the war ends. They will be needed

WORKERS SOCIETY.

Extension Of Activities to Other
States Voted by Scandi-
navian Association.

MILWAUKEE,, July 29.-Extension
Of the activities Of the Independent
Scandinavian Workingmen's associa-
ton and the Scandinavian Sisters OF
America into other states was the
principal discussion at the annual
convention Of these organizations in
Hotel Wisconsin last week.
The two orders, both fraternal in
surance organizations, now have their
field limited to Wisconsin, Minnesota
and the Dakotas, and delegates in
general approved of their branching
out into other states, particularly ILL.,
nois.
The board of directors will meet
shortly and In all probability vote to
extend the association activities. It is
necessary to make an adequate rate
for new members, one that would not
affect present members of the organi-
zation.
The subject Of raising the insurance
policies for members from $1,000 to
$4,000 was to be taken up at the
afternoon session. It was felt that
the present limit was too low.
