Suspend Profits Suggests
GOmperS.

Washington June s. Writing as
chairman of the committee on labor
advisory commission, council of ma
tional defense, President Gompers
makes this suggestion to T. G..
Cranwell, president, Continental
Can company, Syracuse, N. Y
Suppose you and yeur fellow
manufacturers were willing to sus-
pend entirely, In this heur of the
country's emergency, the pursuit
of profits; would their be any pos
sibility of shortage of tin cans -
The manufacturer urged modi-
hcatlon of laws governing the hours
for women workers, which was dis
agreed TO by President 4ompers,
although the trade unionists says
he fails to understand how he can
be Of "some assistance" in this
case.
In answer TO the claim that their
Is scarcity of labor, President
Gompers says:
ut is to be regretted that there
Is no public method by which such
assertions may be proved or disap-
proved.
There may be scarcity of some
kinds of labor in your district at
lower wages than are acceptable to
unemployed persons who might fill
a demand at what they regard as
living wages at steady work.
In all these cases the absence
Of public employment agencies
which might indicate the Novement
of supply and demand of workers,
leaves the interested observer,
without other help than their own
OF other men guess work"
President Gompers quoted state
ments made by officers Of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers in con.
ference with secretary of commerce
Red6eld and himself that the fcil
in the output of cans could not lie
laid to the door of labor, as it could
te shown that in certain places
members of this union are noI
working full time.

COIOred Men Claim COndi=
tiOnS Have Been Mis-
represented.

Since the two hundred colored
men nave been imported from the
south and who have been given
employment as laborers In some Of
our factories, the real truth of these
men coming north is now being
found out Already we hear that
these colored men are complaining
that they re not getting the wages
thet was promised them before tn y
left their homes in the southern
states. Representatives of employ
ment agencies and the factories
have gone into the southern states
and have pictured untold wealth to
these colored msn. They informed
them that wages were high and
that money was plentiful. Some
Of these negroes have been prom
ised wages as high as So 90 per day
as laborers.
These fattering offers by the rep
resentatives of employment agen-
cies has been the means of thou
sands of negroes being shipped into
the northern states. Hamilton we
are told has so far received a little

over two hundred and will probably
receive more If som ~thing is not
done to inferm these men that con-
ditions have been misrepresented to
them. Many of these men have
already blowed their jobs because
when the first pay day came around
they did not get near what was
promised them before they left
home. The railroad transportation
was also deducted from their first
pay envelope and which left them
very near penniless.
We are informed that one of the
factories that secured portion of
these colored men has leased part
of the old Schantz Mattress factory
building where they intend to house
about one hundred and ten.
They are going to erect hunks
in this building which is in thick
ly settled residential district for the
purpose of housing these men.
They are going to try to pull this
off on the people of Hamilton and
If they stand for it, why N a few
more weeks we will have another
train load of them The people of
Hamilton will not realize how seri-
Gus this matter is until some dis
ease breaks out among these men

of this place are circulating petit
tion condemning this nuisance and
are of the opinion that if the col
ored men from the south are good
enough to work in the factories ol
the parties who imported them here
they should build decent quarter:

Oppose Injunction Law,

Sacramento, CAL, June s.
Friend and foe OF the anti injunc-
ton bill, passed by the last legisla-
ture, argued their case before Gov
ernor Stephens, who has the bill
under consideration. Max Kuhl,
attorney for the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce, was spokes
man for the anti-injunctienists,
He assailed the assertion which is
embodied in the bin that labor is
not commodity or article of com
merce.
The labor of a human being is
a civil property right, he insisted
IF 1t is held not to be, then labor
ia deprived of the protection to
which it is entitled under the law
of the land.
This solicitation for the protec-
tion of labor by the representative
of an organization that is attempt
ing to establish the non union shop
in San Francisco, amused the trade
unionists, who suggested that the
only protection they ask is the
kind accorded other classes OF citi.
zens, and that the protection
