Big Corporations "
Workers Whose
Made Winning
Possible
Hatred Is Seen In Subtle Campaign
While Attention Is Engrossed
IN Disputes

Washington worldwide wa.
against labor is on, and it's instiga-
tors are in every country where the
workers demand living wage. 1t be-
gan the day the armistice was signed
and has now reached a stage where
all its bitterness and mercilessness
can be clearly felt. 1t is a most re
lentless war, and the shame of it is
that it is directed against the wage
earners md farmers, the men who
offered their all to win, and did win,
political freedom for the world.
Every conceivable obstacle is being
interjected. Every charge, every slur,
every invective that will cast odiun
on the workers is being published in
every part of the globe where freemen
work. 1t is a we'll organized cam
paign of vindictiveness and is in the
interest of establishing Dollar Gov
ernment everywhere
The war against labor in the
United States has become most ven
omous. The emissaries of the oppo-
nents of labor who can speak most
effectively to the country are members
of congress, as they have a rostrula
from which they can reach most Of
the people. OF the 521 members of

Within the next few weeks con-
gress will enact law giving the rail
roads back to the owners with the
right to increase rates 25 to 80 per
cent. 1t will contain an anti-strike
clause with fines and Imprisonment
for violaters. The hue and crv
against the miners and steel workers
was manufactured to give congress
the opportunity of enacting this legis-
lation while the people are watchin :
labor developments.
The pull licity campaign began w:eh
the coming to Washington of the
members of the Presidents industrial
commission. The United States Steel
Corporation ordered it's agents in con-

bombardment Of misrepresentation
against the workers.
Then from every lawyers seat IN
congress came an answering echo
just as vicious as it could be made.
Labor was to be crucifed. 1t hal
been ordered by the kings of indus
try. And those who prosper through
the financial generosity" of the Grim
inal corporations have not lost an
opportunity to add their voices AMI
votes against the man who works.
1t is a bitter war, one in which in
dustrial autocracy and it's supporters
will show no mercy. But they made
their first mistake when they sought
to establish govergment by injunctio i,
to stop strike by court order This
was such colossal blunder that those
who were led into the trap to seek
the injunction now know they have

THUG DETECTIVE
AGENCY UNMASKED
Started Riots; Posed As
Conciliator
DRn nnn

Chicago.-Five taxi loads of police
men and detectives, directed by States
Attorney Hoyne, raided the offices of
the Sherman Service, arrested SO peo-
pie and confscated mass of letters
and documents. The Sherman Serv-
ice advertises itself as 1abor conciIi-
ators," and has branch offices in New
York, Philadelphia, Toronto, st.
Louis, Cleveland, Detroit, Boston AMI
New Haven.
Charges of conspiracy to foment
race riots and other forms of violence
together with the wholesale destruc-
tion of property as part of program
to break the steel strike, was made
in statement by the states attorney,
whose attention was first called to the
Sherman outfit by Edward Nockels,
secretary of the Chicago Federation Of
Labor. The state attorney named
the Illinois Steel Company and the
Steel and Tube Company of America
in connection with the work of the
conspirators. The specific charge
against the detective agency is that
it employed sluggers to stir up trou-
BILE where strikes exist in order to
bring about the use of federal troops.
According to the states attorney, K.
V. Phillips, with the title of advisory
director" had charge of the thuggery.
He directed the sluggers, the smash
ing of windows, cutting automobile
tires, the burning of buildings and
the fomenting of racial prejudices
among the strikers, while processing
to engage in the business of con-
ciiiator

H. c. OF L. AGAIN

Tucson, Ariz.-The Tucson Post
calls attention to this situation as one
possible reason for the high cost Of
living:
"For 1916-The net earnings of the
Armour Grain Company, one Of the
big Ave packers, dealing in cereals
and breakfast foods, were 290 per cent
on the capital stock.
For 1917-After deducting a rs
per cent dividend on the capital stock,
theirs urplus of undivided profits was
S., ,426, $50; or over 600 per cent profit,
if the capital stock remained the
same as the previous year.
Gas there has been no reduction in
prices it can be assumed there has
been no reduction in profteering"

MINERS INJUNCTION
IS STILL IN EFFECT

Washington While the miners
have called off their strike, in obed-
ience to federal injunction judge,
the injunction still remains in force,
and attorneys for the miners are pre-
pairing to carry the case to the federal
court of appeals.
Secretary of Labor Wilson has IS
sued call to the miners and operaors
to meet in this city to adjust their
dispute and both sides have accepted.
During the injunction proceedings
the operators stood on the side lines
while the government fought their
battle.
The miners will enter the wage con-
ference with their power to strike
taken from them.

HOW TO RESTRAIN" LABOR

E "a ~
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1919-11-21

Lackawanna, N. Yin answer to
the claim of Buffalo newspaper
that labor should be restrained" the
Daily Journal of this city says:
"We wish it could. This is how it
would result: Labor when it wanted
a raise in pay would raise it, pending
a hearing before the labor service COM
mission, and in the meantime labor
would print in red ink on its pay
checks
eff the commission decides
against US we will rebate the over
payment
"Then if the commission decided
against them they would carry the
case to the supreme court-and hang
it up there for seven years.
Does not the gas company, the
telephone company, ETC., do that?
"Then why not restrain labor the
same way?"

ORDERLY
LEADERSHIP
Restrained by Court Writ,
Declare Labor Leaders

Washington The injunctions ia-
sued against coal miners will only re
suit in restraining an orderly leader
ship of this strike, declared Presi-
dent Gompers, Secretary Morrison
and Vice President Woll of the A. F.
of L., following their visit of protest
to Attorney General Palmer.
After reviewing the causes that led
to the strike, the A. F. of L. officials
said:
"The mine owners very cleverly met
the issue by appearing willing and
anxious to negotiate, but only if the
miners would first throw aside the
only power at their command to gain
a respectful hearing and fair consider
ation-the decision to strike whenever
it was demonstrated fair dealings did
not prevail.
1--WE are now faced with a coal
strike of vast magnitude. The gov
ernment now proposes to intervene be-
cause Of a possible coal shortage. Ap-
parently the government is not con-
cerned with the manipulation of the
mine owners, which has made for the
present coal shortage and undue un-
employment of the miners for the
past II months.
Instead of dealing with those re-
sponsible for this grave menace to
the public welfare, it now proposes to
punish those who, by force or circum-
stances, have been the victims of the
coal baron's explorations. The min
ers are now told the war is not over
and that all war legislation is still
in force, and if reports received here
are correct the government intends to
apply existing war measures, not
against the owners of the coal mines
but against the coal miners.
1T is almost inconceivable that a
government which is proud of it's pa
ticipation in a great war to iberate
suppressed peoples should now under
take to suppress the legitimate aims
hopes and aspirations of its own peo-
pie
1t is still more strange that ma
ton which may be justly proud of its
Abraham Lincoln should now reverse
the application of the great truth he
enunciated when he said that as be-
tween capital and labor, labor should
receive first and foremost considera-
tion"

Being desirous of bringing the re-
suits about as soon as possible, prop

The methods employed by these
thugs, who posed as tabor concilia-
tors" seem satisfactory to busines
men who employed them, for in a
page advertisement in local newspa-
pers the thugs plead not guilty to
the charges and say:

STUDENTS
ARE OUTWITTED BY
WASHINGTON MEN

Seattle, WASH, Nov. S.-uniyersity
of Washington collegians are whooping
With Joy today-despite the fact that
Oregon walloped the purple and gold
gridiron athletes Saturday. Deep, op-
pressive gloom was dispelled late sun
day afternoon when three grinning
students paraded through the campus.
district with drum-not an ordinary
drum, but very. very much sought
after certain drum.
The story begins away back in 1911
when hilarious victorious gang Of
Washingtonians kidnapped the famous
Oregon drum in a fierce daylight raid,
For eight years the drum has reposed
on the U of w. campus as a trophy OF
lvoctory.
But last Saturday a daring pair or
Oregonians celeverly recaptured the
drum that had been on display in the
windows of big department store.
One youth took off his hat and coat,
entered the store and smilingly climb
| ed into the window. He posed as an
employe. Picking up the drum he
stepped out and handed it over to a
chap who thanked him kindly, walked
leisurely out and stepped into an auto
which sped away.
When it was discovered that the
drur, had been stolen word was re-
layed to the campus A hundred stu
dent detectives secured the city for a
Eclue and finally some one overheard
an Oregon coed remark that the drum
had been expressed to the Multnomah
club in Portland and was already safe
Ily liz home territory"
Three Washingtonians caught the
first train for Portland, arriving at
4 GAS Sunday morning. They went in-
lmediately to the express office and pc-
litely informed the clerk that they
were from the Multnomah club and
were expecting drum from Seattle
: Had 1t arrived?
Eyes, it's here replied the clerk
who delivered the trophy, while the
Washingtonians signed up on the re
| ceipt book. Then they entered taxi
: cab and kept riding until time for thu
first Seattle bound train, which the.
ii bearded.
Arriving in Seattle they hurried t.
the campus and staged a celebration II
: honor Of the recaptured trophy.
