UNIONISTS AND : s.

California Producers and
Consumers Pla,, for Mu-
tual Welfare.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7-Or-
ganized workers, farmers and CO.
operators have formed the Califor-
mia union of producers and consum-
ers.
The new organization, expected by
its founders to become an economic
and political force, consists of the
California state federation of labor,
the Farmers educational and. CO.
operative union and the Pacific CO.
operative league. Joint action by the
three parties is necessary on any
question and each organization will
remain in full life for it's separate
purpose, and the united support of
the three will be given to the activi-
ties of each, in so far as mutual in
terest and united opinion warrant.
The purpose of the new movement,
as stated in the official announce
ment is: ITO bring joint action to
bear on pressing legislative changes;
to further public ownership of all
public utilities, including transporta-
tion and communication; to free the
land and society from privilege and
monopoly, and to provide a practical
plan of cooperation for the equitable
distribution of food and other necessi-
ties Of life.''

Declares Frank Morrison in Talk

COMMITTEE.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 7.-Declar-
ing the philosophy of the Steel Trust
and the I. W. w. .tos be one and the
same, Secretary Frank Morrison of
the A. F. of L. summed up that phase
Of his talk before the local conven-
ton committee heresthis week by say
ing:
1T is the position taken by the
employers of this country that gives
us the T. w. w. propaganda, and gives
them the opportunity to have influ-

Warning his hearers against the
statements Of the press the secretary
said: mo more strikes and existing
conditions to prevail, said the papers,
We said the union standards should
not be lowered. They claim that this
statement that standards should not
be lowered mean that if man is run
ming a II hour shop that is an exist
ing standard. We made no such
statement as that. We did not say
there would be no strikes. We said
go on and organize and if wages do
not go up in keeping with the cost
of living and if employers refuse to
government as to increases strike until
you get them.

they have all been won and we have

ing of the Chicago packing plants. An
industry which he described as twin

Secretary Morrison vigorously de-
Tended President Wilson and the Sec
retary Of war. Concluding he touched
upon the war situation saying: 1.-THE
question whether kings and rulers
who claim to receive their power from
God shall rule or whether the people
shall rule is the thing for which we
are fighting. I feel sure when we
have our aviation fleet in France,
our destroyers across the ocean, our
merchant fleet augmented and 2,000,-
600 men in France can see the United
States and the allies pushing the Ger
mans out of France; back! back! out
Of Belgium; back over the Rhine
where there will be a peace enacted
that will result in the disarmament
of the world, and then our trade

DROP DEMANDF0R
CHINESE
Want MEX|CANS
California Employers, Realizing
Attitude Of Congress, Begin
- New Movement,

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 7.-Editor
Barry of the San Francisco Star SAYS
that California employers have
dropped their demand for the i'm
portation of Chinese labor and are
now asking for Mexican poems.
e when Dean Thomas F. Hunt of
the University of California returned
from Washington he brought discon-
certing news to the advocates of coolie
labor on the farms of California" he
says. Dean Hunt had made in
quiries and found that there was not
the ghost of a show that congress or
the national administration would
-eVen consider the suspension of the
restriction laws relating to Chinese
labor. That settled it.
IA quick right-about-face was made
by the farmers and others interested.
and movement set on foot for bring
ing in MeXicans to supply the short
age. The state council of defense, it
is announced, will back up the demand
for necessary legislationo to make
this possible.
1T is proposed to do away with re-
strlctlons, and also give assurance
that these laborers will not be con-
scrlpted for war service. What guar
anty, if any, is to be given for their
return to Mexico is not stated. Am
erican labor will probably consider this
- pertinent question:.
"The proposed importation of Mexi-
cans is at least much more feasible
than to bring coolies from China. To
do the latter would require scores of
ships-Which are not to be had-and
months of time. And, as has been
suggested, it would be much better
and cheaper to import the product Of
these coolies, which would not have
to be returned, than to bring in the
coolies themselves. Mexicans could
be brought in by either boat or
rail, and the time consumed in bring
Ing them to California would be neg
ligible"

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Bankers,
and not railroad officials, are respons-
ible for the collapse of the nations
transportation system, declares Amos
Pinchot, in a public statement
In the last two years." he says.
"the banking world has come to real
ize that the cream has gone out of
railroading. Government regulation
has, to considerable extent, pre-
vented excessive rates.
publicity, the fear of investigation.
etc., has lessened, the frequency of
those immensely profitable dealings
that used to line the bankers poe
kets through stock jobbing, wreck
ing and the various mysterious pro-
cesses of railroad high finance
"Railroading is no longer a bank
er's gold mine or paradise. The re-
suit has been that the bankers have
cut the credit of thefrailroads. Be-
cause they could not make the pro-
fits they were used to. they have
starved the railroads, they. have re-
fused loans and turned down under
writings; they have lent a deaf ear
to the appeal Of the technical man
ayers of the railroads, who have been.
unable to procure from the bankers
funds necessary to keep the rolling
stock, and especially the locomotives,
at an efficient point. - ~.
"And meanwhile, as the bankers
have refused credit, they have also
insisted on dividends from roads whose
condition did not warrant them.
I'm short, state Of things has been
brought about, not through Mr.. Gar
field, or the administration, or the
railroads technical heads, but by
selfish and short-sighted Wall street
control, where a little cold weather
added to the unusual strain due to
the war, has thrown the country into
a position Of extreme danger" ~
