IGNORING LABOR
RIGHTS AIDSL.W.W.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
WILL SOLVE QUESTION.
Secretary Frank Morrison Defines At
titude of American Federation of
Labor Toward the Industrial
Workers of the World.

In a Labor Day address delivered at
indianapolis, Secretary, Frank Morri--
son of the American Federation of
Labor took occasion TO clearly define
the attitude of organized labor toward
the !. W. W. movement. He charged
that refusal of large employers to
enter into contract relations with
union labor was the cause for most of
the industrial ills of the present day
That part of Secretary Morrlson's s
speech is reproduced here as follows !:
while organized labor is engaged
in a successful prosecution of the
great world war, it has not lessened
its fight for living standards in the
shop, factory and mine, against the
employment of women to displace
men and against the employment of
children who should be attending
school.
In view of the high cost of living,
workers are justified in demanding
higher wages that their living stand
ards may be maintained
MANY large employers have ac-
cepted this viewpoint, and even tho
contracts are uneNpired, they have
been reopened and wages readjusted to
permit workers to meet these increased
living costs. Employers in the New
York ladies' garment industry and in
the organized coal industry are among
the notable instances where employers
have taken this action.
"Other employers take an opposite
course and have not only denied wage
increases. but continue their policy of
anti-unionism, which has taken the
form of the most glaring violations of
their employees constitutional rights,
which they would have this nation
overlook by the plea that they are
opposing the l. W. VS..
THE position of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor toward the l. w. w.
is too well known to be repeated at
this time, but we know that the l. W.
w. is the logical result of employers
opposition to all forms of collective
bargaining. Let me call your atten-
ton to the fact that in no trade or
calling where collective bargaining is
recognized is the l. w. w. even known,
much less encouraged, by these work
ers, who have a sane and orderly
method of rectifying wrongs. In the
printing trades, in the building trades,
| in the coal and glass industry or in
those sections of transportation, metal
mining or metal trades which recog-
nize collective bargaining the l. w. w.
is not known.
1T is only where men are denied
collective bargaining, where their most
active fellows are victimized and
where strike guards abound do work
ers become discouraged and then lend
willing ear to wild pleadings for
destruction and force as an answer
to the employers same policy.
II am hopeful that in the near fu-
ture our fellow countrymen will
awaken to the fact that the low wage
and debased working conditions in
sisted upon by anti-union employers
are responsible for the l. w. W. SEN
timent. This, backed by n publicity

GERMAN SOCIALISM WANING.
Report Shows Greatly Reduced Mem
bership As Result of War.

The managing committee of the
German Social Democracy has issued
condensed report which is to be sub
mitted to the party's convention at
Wurzburg next month. The record
covers the three years ending March
81.
The outstanding feature of the rec
ord is the appalling drop in the party S
active membership. On March 81, 1914,
this numbered 1,0S5,90 In March of
this year the membership was but
2l3 900.
The report says that at the outbreak
of the war half the male membership
of the party was called to the colors,
and that since then fully 75 per cent.
of the party's roll members have been
drafted. The rupture in the party
ranks brought on by the detection of
independents also has been responsi-
BILE for the loss of members.
Three years ago the party counted
174,750 women members and now this
number has decreased to 66,600.

POSTAL employees
STEPS TAKEN TO FORM A
NATIONAL BODY.
President Wilson Consents To Plan
Proposed by Gompers and 100000
Employees Will Join Federal
Union

Under the supervision of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and with the
sanction of President Wilson, prelim-
mary steps were taken in Washington
this week to organize unions of all
federal employees, which will be affili-
ated with the federation of organized
labor
Fifty delegates from federal offices
in and out of Washington began a
series of meetings in which the fed
eral employees union will be organized.
There are sixty locals now, but the
aim will be to organize and affiliate
with union labor all of the 600, 900
civil employees of the government.
This movement marks a decided
change in government policy. Hither-
to the unionizing of government en-
ployes has been discouraged by the
government on the ground that man
cannot serve both the government and
the federation of labor when their OBJ
jects conflict, and that the government
could not tolerate the inclusion of its
employees in an organization whose
chief weapon is the strike against en-
ployers. A strike against the govern
ment, it was held, would be intoler-
able.
Postmaster General Burleson, like
his predecessors, has fought the
unions of railway mail clerks and
other postal employees and caused the
discharge from the Chicago postoffice
of Thomas F. Flaherty, president of
the National Association of Postoffice
Employees, who was conspicuous in the
meeting of the unionized federal en-
ployes in Washington.
The change in policy is due to the
influence of Samuel Gompers with
President Wilson. Organized labor has
grown in power under the Wilson ad-
ministration and particularly since the
beginning of the war. Mr.. Gompers
rendered signal service in marshaling
the support of the government by or
ganized labor in the war and in help
ing TO suppress the l. W. W. and other
seditious labor elements.
There are $4,000 federal employees in
the existing locals. Mr.. Gompers an
nounced that hereafter no local can be
affiliated with the Federation of Labor
unless it is a member of the Federal
Employees union.

wholly unwarranted by a section of
the public press, alarms some citizens,
who should discuss cause.-the low
wage employer-rather than condemn
effects.
ITO sum up on this subject, my
trade unionists believe that
the solution for the l. W. w. is in the
shops and mills, and that the reason
certain employers affect an alarm of
the l. W. W. is because they would
rather have the government assist
them in defeating employees who are
forced to secret fighting than accord
these employees conditions that benefit
Americans.
THE workers have a right to de-
mand wage that will meet increased
living costs. The federal bureau of
statistics, in report last July, states
that comparison of prices on May Is
of this year and those of the same
date last year shows an advance of
SO per cent in living costs.
1t is impossible for workers to
maintain their energy and maintain
topnotch production when they are not
equipped with muscle-creating food
that can only be secured by sufficient
wages"

h. C. FIREMEN FORM A UNION.
Day and Night Shifts Hold Meetings
and Join A. F. of l.

At a meeting last Sunday morning
at the Labor Temple of the members
of the city fire department who are
on the night shift this month, $50
Joined the union which is being formed
and a charter has been sent for. Mon
| day night the men on the day shift
met at the Labor Temple and $50 be-
came members of the new union.
There are now about 40 local unions
of city firemen holding charters under
the A. F. of L. and it will not be long
before the right to organize national
organization will be asked for.
Conditions in the local department
needs remedying very badly. Substi-
tute firemen receive but 81 per day,
and no man in these strenuous times
of the high cost of living can be eX-
pected to get by on such paltry sum
if he has any family whatever TO sup
port. There are other questions to be
taken up when the new union gets into
good working shape.-Kansas City La
Dor Herald.

James Hamilton Peabody, governor OF
Colorado from 1902 to 1906, died in Den
yer Nov. 90 at the age of 65 years. Elk
Governor Peabody was born in Topsham
and received his public school education
in this state. He married in 1878 and
soon after settled in Denver as a book
keeper. Later he became a merchant
and in 1885 turned to the banking bust
ness. He was elected governor in. 1902
and was reelected after a sharp political
contest. The Republicans contended that
their man was elected over Peabody,
Democrat, but finally Peabody was de-
clared the lawful governor and Adams,
the Republican candidate was ousted.
The change was made, however upon the
agreement of Peabody to turn the office
over to the lieutenant governor, which
he did after serving only few hours,
so that on March Is, 1905, three different
men served as governor of Colorado with
