DEMOCRACY AND PROFITS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-Under
the above caption Editor Scharren-
berg of the Seamen's Journal says:
while discussing the action of the
United States Steel corporation in adj
vancing wages and granting the basic
eight-hour day and, at the same time,
continuing it's refusal to recognize the
unions, Secretary Frank Morrison Of
the American Federation of Labor
said: The trade union movement in
sists that high wages and kind mas
ters is not democracy
'Well said, Brother Morrison.
emocracy still has a higher aim
and nobler Vision than the well-filled
dinner pail. Democracy is govern
ment by the people-in fact as we'll as
in name.
"Of course, this ideal Of a real de-.
mocracy is far beyond the horizon of
Americas plutocracy.
The 1917 profits of the United
States Steel corporation were $751;
$4,000. Its pre-war profits amounted
to 4 measly $63,5S5,377.
Cnder the circumstances why
should a steel corporation magnate
bother his head with the ethics of
applied democracy"

LABOR WILL RESIST
WAGE CUTS, G0MPERS

LAREDO, Texas, Nov. 2S.--In the
closing hours of the ,Pan-Anerican
labor conference President Gompers
served notice on wage-reduction adj
vocates that labor will not accept this
policy, and that it will not surrender
one point of it's advanced position.
The trade unionist's statement was
an answer to the claim Of William H.
Barr, president Of the National Found
ers' association, that lower wages
and longer hours are necessary to
permit American industry to meet
foreign competition.
Notice is given here and now"
said President Gonlpers, that the
American people will not be. forced
back either by Barr, his association
or all the bourbons in the United
States
"There are some people who will
not understand; there are some peo-
pie who do not understand all that as
meant by the willingness of the peo-
pie of the democracies to fight and

KEYNOTE OF Sea power
IS SEAMEH, mot SHIPS

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-In a speech
in this city Andrew Furuseth, presi-
dent of . the International Seameu's
union, declared that history does not
show a single exception to the rule
that where nation lost its sea power
this can be traced to it's refusal to
treat its seamen as free mn.
Sea power" said the trade union
list, was always ia the seanlen. Ships
are the tools with which the seaman
works, and the. tools will ultimately
belong to the nations which can handle
them. Spirit and skill are requisites
for seamanship and these qualities
are rarely found in any but free men,.
If we follow the development of sea-
power we will find that it has always
been with the free. ..,
"America did not lose her sea power
because of the Civil war- She lost
vessels, but it was 'America's failure
to free the seamen when she freed
all other men, that destroyed her
sea power, because American seamen
denied the right to quit their jobs
as other wage earners, could not fol-
low the upward trend of society and
abandoned the sea. America lost her
seamen before she lost her ships. It
was always thus. The decline in> ma
tive seamen is followed by decline in
vessels. The tools follow the work
man. .'.',.
Wages of seamen depend upon the
port in which sthey are employed, or
shipped, and these wages are largely
determined by the wage level in the
country in which the port is located.
In such ports the wages are uniform
for vessels of all countries

WAGE REDUCTION PLAN
TOO HOT TO~RANIh e.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-William H.
Barr has found that his wage reduc-
ton and long-hour plan u.s. to use a
baseball term, ""too hot to handle.".
Mr.. Barr is president of the Ma
tional Founders association 'fAt the
opening session of the annual con-
vention he Grated at length on his
method to meet foreign competition.
He referred to wage, reductions as
"liquidating wages" 1t was the old,
old scare crow, which President Com
pers quickly took a shot at. Presi-
dent Barr is now trying to let loose.
And he's angry at the A. T.. of L.
executive, who is charged with mis-
Interpreting the spirit and INTENT of
his wage liquidation scheme
Mr.. Barr has now reached the ex-
PLANTATION stage.
"Unquestionabl bly," he says, "the
manufacturer is more deeply con-
cerned in working out the great COM
mon industrial problems than are
those individuals and organizations
whose principal efforts are confined to
vitupefation and reduction of Output.
IF our manufacturers can main
tain their industries and furnish en-
ployment 20 all classes Of workers
on an eight-hour. basis the situation
would be welcome. Otherwise, the re-
suit would be a comm on calamity
with the worker the chief sufferer"
The same general principles applied to
wages, he asserted.
careful reading of the above state
ment Shows that the iron founder has
changed his tactics, but not his views.

sighted employers have voted Mr. Barr
as eligible to the mutt" class.

WOULD USE FOOD WEAPONS

finally signed, then congress must
create some other authority to do the
same work. If hunger is the cause of
disturbances in a dozen countries in
Europe today, hunger may be dan
gerous to public order in America
tomorrow. We may pretty safely fore
cast the permanent establishment of
a federal food administra ton.
War Brings Bankruptcy.
Next in interest to the food ques-
ton is that of policing Europe by
allied troops on the plea of maintain
ing order in various parts. There has
been a general propaganda in WASH
ington and elsewhere to prepare the
country for this step, engineered by
those who fear the effects of the new
developments in Russia and the CEN
trail powers. They do not want to
see part of the world on a different
basis from what We are working on
and they fear that possible success
Of the new ideas will cause them to
spread to all countries.
The great capitalist interests have
sufficient reason, of course, for not
wanting to see any fundamental
changes, but many people not con-
nccted with these interests directly
fail to appreciate the fact that these
countries have exhausted themselves
in war. They have used practically
the last cent OF capitaistic credit, and
either the big capitalism, as repre-
sented by huge estates and great for
tunes, has to be broken or the people
can not set out into normal living
again. All that they can do is to start
i overswith their natural resources and
their labor to build as we'll as possible
regardless of the great vested inter-
ests. 1t is stiff medicine but people
are more important than stocks and
bonds and land titles. At least these
other peoples have a natural right
to take this position.
American opinion is right on the
subject of our relation to other peo-
pies. We believe in self-determina-
ton, but the sinister power of adj
vertising and press agenting to force
the government into certain line
of action can not be overlooked. A
watchfui democratic spirit is needed
to bring all of us safely and free of
autOcracy from the quagmire of war.

INTERNAL STRIFE
OF: LABOR BOARD
Employer Representatives Hold
Up Decisions in Hundreds
Of Disputes.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2S.-Despite
the fact that the President and his
cabinet have agreed that the war
labor boards work, must go on, dur
ing the whole period of national de-
mobilization and reconstruction,
Chairman Frank P. Walsh has REQ
resigned. He states that he is COM
PEELED to return to the practice Of
law. He has made a big financial sac
rlflce in holding the job and doing
the work he has done on the war 1abo,S
BOARD and he needs a chance to
earn something to maintain his fam
lily for the coming year. I Probably
he will represent some of the biggest
of the trade unions in their legal
troubles in the future In anv case
Walsh will not for a moment lose
touch with the labor movement in
which he has come to commanding in
fluence.
Employers Sabotage.
If we may judge from the fact that
the five employer members and Mr..
Taft voted against Walsh and the five
labor members, the other. day, on a
motion by Walsh to cut the red tape
that holds awards in several hundred
industrial disputes, then Walsh has
very good excuse for resigning
employers in the board are sabotaging.
They have prevented the board from
settling disputes. Walsh has never
discussed the internal troubles of the
hoard, but the hundreds of COM
plainants coming to the board for
justice know that somebody is hold
ing back 1t has not been the labor
end of the board.
The board will go on, but it is likely
that it's personnel will be changed if
a big crop of strikes is not to be raised
this winter. .,..

REPEAL "NO-sTR1KE'' ORDER.

OTTAWA, Canada, Nov. 2S.-The
government has repealed its mo
strike" order, passed October II.
"The 'no-strike' order" the gov
eminent announces, was issued only
for the purpose of maintaining IN
dustrial peace during the continual
ton of the war and is cancelled be-
cause it has served its purpose and
is no longer necessary.
The order aroused organized labor
throdghout the Dominion, and in
every section much feeling was de-
veloped. =
While the government has repealed
it's October II order, it has issued a
New order defining the status, un7
der the military service act, of en-
ployers and employees Some union
lists believe this is but repetition

TARRED AND FEATkERED

JACKSON, Mich, Nov. 2S.-Her-

taken from his hotel in this city and
tarred and feathered. The mob was
led~by a uniformed sergeant of the
Michigan state constabulary The
mob also broke into the room Of q
Saveling man, who was assaulted
somewhat less severely. The reason
had hold of another machinists' or
ganizer.
Crawford was engaged in organizing
at the time. The local daily press
gave the incident small attention.
One editor, with his>eye on the cash
register, published this statement:
1T is reported that an I. w. w. ag-
itator from outside the city was taken
in hand by vigilantes Saturday night
and treated to coating of tar and
feathers and told~to leave town and
let no grass grow under his feet while
he was doing. so. He is said to have
appeared at one or two houses in the
south part of town and when last seen
was inquiring his way to the hotel
where he. was stopping. He was MAX
