Catholic Industrial Program

/. On the grounds, both of JUS
tice and sound economics. we give
our hearty support to all legitimate
efforts made by labor to resist gem
eral wage reduction,
A living wage is not necessarily
the full measure of justice. We de-
clare that this is only the minimum
of justice.
>. We stand for equal pay for
equal work.
3. We ask that laws be passed
to prevent the eXtortionate prac-
tices of monopoly.
A. We approve of cooperative
stores run and owned by the work
ers.
3. We demand a legal minimum
wage high enough to provide not
only for present needs Of worker
and family, but a surplus that shall
be sufficient for adequate savings.
6. We approve of social iusur-
ance, funds to be provided, so far as
possible on levy on industry.
6. We emphasize the right Of
laborers to organize and the justice
of the collective bargaining sys-
TEN.
Z. We indorse the movement OF
labor to obtain voice in manage
ment of industries, commonly call
ed industrial democracy"
s. We deplore child labor and
approve plan to tax it out Of eX-
istence
9. We believe Gooking to the
future) that changes are necessary
in our social order that will result
to a great extent in the abolition
of the wage system.
10. We ask that the employer
remember that the laborer is hu-
man being, not merely an instru-
ment of production, and that the
laborer's right to a decent living is
the first moral charge upon indus
try. The employer has no right
even to interest on his investment
until his employees have obtained
at least living wages.

INCREASED WIRE.
TOLLS WERE NOT
CAUSED BY WAGES

NEW YORK, April Telegraph
tolls have been increased 20 per cent
by Postmaster General Burleson,
who says wage increases are re-
sponsible for the advance.
Because of clash between two
financial interests it is quite prob
able that the Postmaster General
will not be permitted to use the
workers as a shield.
These two groups are the West
ern Union and American Telegraph
SYSTEM on one side and Postal
Telegraph on the other. Only re-
Gently Mr.. Burleson deposed Presi-
dent Mackey and other officers of
the Postal for refusing to obey
orders,' and now, when the Post
master General says wages cause
the 20 per cent increase in tele-
graph rates. the Postal people,
through the Postal Telegraph, their
official magazine, declare that Mr..
Burleson has Every generously
awarded to the Bell Company, in
addition to the very handsome COM
pensation of $65, PASCAL which he
gave them" has also awarded the
Bell Company an additional rake
off of 100000 from subsidiary
companies.
"The whole wire control arrange
ment." continues the Postal Tele-
graph, "has developed into gigan-
tic job whereby the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company has
been and will be enabled to exploit
the public through the medium Of
the Postoffice Department"

SAMUEL GOMPERS HAS HANDLED
THE BIGGEST JOB IN THE WORLD

comes to Paris, like gaunt skel-
eton dancing in the garden of
victory.
Fact No. 5-The work people of
the world are determined that there
must be new deal in industry.
There must be better chance
for Humanity and a poorer chance
for Greed. Industry and fighting
won the war as equal partners. For
industry there has got to be a new
dispensation-a new deal. But this
new deal must come to us in such
fashion as not to wreck the ma
chine. Our very lives depend upon
the full speed and smooth running
of the machine-our American
lives, as well as the lives of Europe,
because if Europe cannot maintain
it's intelligence and it's balance our
own chance of survival is ALMOST
worthless.
There are five facts. They play
like drum fire on the great peace
table in the French capital. Some
men comprehend; others are struck
duly by something that they do not
understand. But there the facts
are, nevertheless, and the world of
the future will be shaped by their
weight.
Standing firmly in the center Of
this situation has been an Ameri-
can who does understand-Samuel
Gompers! Not even the shaping of
the League of Nations, great as
that achievement is, can surpass the
Importance of the work Samuel
Gompers has been doing. We look
to the Commission over which he
presides and whose labors he di-
rects for the plan of machinery
which shall be the means of
1-Democratizing and humaniz-
ing industry, and
2-Keeping industry going to
keep life in a torn and broken
world.
