THE NEWARK POSTOFFICE

That the working force of the New
ark postoffce is inadequate and en-
tirely too small to efficiently dis
charge the responsible duties required
of it is beyond question, and the FACT
that inspectors, deputies and pompous
and nibby well paid do-little govern
ment inspectors galore are constantly
on hand does not relieve the situation
Inspections and suggestions accom-
plish nothing, what the Newark office
needs, and needs badly, is more help
and that at once. Neighboring cities,
some considerably smaller, are not
thus handicapped. The figures gwen
below are for the past year, the popu-
lation is estimated:

Trade Union COLLEGE.

"In order to make directly accessl-
BILE to working men and working
women the study Of subjects which
will further the progress of organized
labor" the Trade Union college organ
ized by the Boston Central Labor
union opened its career April Z, at the
High School of Practical Arts.
Shorn of all unnecessary adjuncts
the new labor college is simply COM
bination Of lecture courses to be con-
Quoted by leaders in their line, pro-
fessors and instructors from Harvard
and other universities and technical
schools, and open to all trade unionists
of the American Federation of Labor
and members of their immediate fami-
lies for the nominal sum of $3.50 for
each course. incidentally there will be
periods of study and discussion.

"NO NAME STANDS HIGHER"

New York-Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, has been awarded the gold
medal of the National Institute of So
cial Science for his achievements in
behalf of humanity during the war.
"There is no name that stands
higher than yours in the cause of
humanity" said George Gordon Battle
in his presentation address. "The
fate of the world depended during this
war on the attitude of labor. You
have not only won the confidence of
the people of the United States, but
of the whole world"
Mr.. Gompers said he accepted the
medal "in behalf of organized labor,
which stood behind its country and
flag 100 per cent"

WOMEN JOIN TRADES UNIONS
Thousands Have FIocked to organiza-
tions During the Past Year,
Statistics Show.

Eighty thousand woman clerks
stenographers, accountants and other
office workers have joined trades union
organizations during the past year, ac-
cording to the Washington office of
the National Women's Trade Union
league. Many of these women are en-
ployed in railroad offices, others in the
various branches of the federal civil
service.
1t is said that this tendency among
clerical workers is part of the great
est movement among wage-earners Of
which there is any record in the labor
movement in the United States. In
addition to office workers, teachers
have been organizing in the American
Federation of Teachers, which is also
affiliated with the American Fedora
ton of Labor. The figures for retail

THE UNION LABEL AND REAL
COOPERATION

The emulation of the splendid spirit
of cooperation which was displayed
on all sides in carrying on industrial
and other activities to beat the enemy
in the Great World War, should con-
vey a lasting lesson to all trade
unionists.
The trade-union movement is in its
very essence, a comprehensive plan of
cooperation, radiating as it does from
local unions through central trades
councils, State Federations of Labor
and International Unions into the
American Federation of Labor.
One of the great departments of the
American Federation Of Labor is that
which has for its object the education
Of the workers to the great factor
they should be to correct many exist
ing industrial evils and injustices
through concentration of their pur-
chasing power, the Union Label Trades
Department.
Of what avail is it to denounce un-
fair employers by resolutions, which
so often fail of their object for no
other reason than our refusal to with
hold our patronage from them. The
very firms and corporations we seek
to have treat their employers fairly
by exposing unfairness on the one
hand, we make arrogant by purchas-
ing their output with money earned
under union conditions, on the other
hand.
This is not cooperation, but it is
inconsistency almost criminal, and un-
til we all come right down to "brass
tacks" and become union members in
fact as well as in name by cooperating
with our fellows in every other trade,
through the discriminating power of
purchase, we are not going to make
any noticeable nor permanent pro
gress.
Demand the union label, shop card
and working button at all times, for
no trade unionist has any more moral
right to purchase non-union and sweat
shop goods than he has to take the
place of a fellow-Worker on strike for
better conditions.
Be a real union man and genuine
cooperator by ALWAYS demanding the
union label, shop card and working
button.

INCREASE IN RAILWAY WAGES
Workers Shown to Have Received Big
Advances, Both in This Country
and in England.

"Since 1915 the annual average
wage earnings of American railway
workers have been advanced from $500
to 81 400 in England they have risen
from $3.50 to $780," said Frank Ii. Fay
ant, assistant to the chairman of the
Association of Railway Executives,
after an investigation of the effects of
the war on railroads.
"While England, at the beginning of
the war, had high freight rates and
low wages, we were fortunate in hav-
ing low freight rates and high wages.
In this country we were not obliged to
make such enormous percentage in
crease in wages, although our labor
cost has risen greatly, and we could
raise freight rates. 1t is estimated
that the increases in freight and pas
senger rates made by the railroad ad-
ministration last year have added
close to $1,0O0,O000O0 to the revenues.
The increases in wages thus far grant
ed are close to $90O000,000 and other
advances now under consideration
will probably bring the increase up to
$1,000, 100000. Our advance in rates,
therefore, has apparently provided for
the wage increase but it has not pro-
vided for the war increase in the cost
Of coal and materials, which has been
estimated between $300000,000 and
$400O00,000 a year.
"In considering our American rail
road wage increase under government
operation, approaching $1,000 100000,
or between 80 and 60 per cent, it is to
be remembered that in the years 1915
and 1917 the railroads under private
management advanced wages by $780,
100000 including the $70000,000 cost
Of the Adamson act"

JUDGE MEN BY THEIR ACTS.

Merchants, like all others, must be
judged by their actions. If merch-
ant advertises in every paper but
that patronized by the toilers, it
it would seemingly indicate that he
is not very friendly with this class or
overanxious to have their trade.
Along this line, it is a foregone con-
clusion that those merchants who do
advertise in the columns of the paper
devoted to labor, feel friendly toward
this class, and desire their trade. 1t
will, therefore, pay you to read the
advertisements in this paper, and by
doing so ascertain who the merchants
are who feel friendly toward you and
appreciate your patronage.

DUTY Before Employers.

A new era in Great Britain's indus
trial system is being fostered by the
government the employers and the
workers, declared the employers in
dustrial commission sent abroad by the
department of labor, in its report to
Secretary Wilson.
American business men, said an an
nouncement accompanying the COM
missions finding. must quickly revise
their ideas regarding methods of han
ding labor if the movement toward
radical socialism, generally described
in a loose way as bolshevism, is to be
offset in the United States"

A PEOPLES LEGISLATURE

The Legislature of the State of
North Dakota, elected by the Farmers
Nonpartisan League has met and ad-
journed, having put through its entire
program in a few weeks. These bills
provided for a state bank, state ter
minal elevators and flour mills, and
ar industrial commission to manage
these utilities. Also for state hail
insurance and state home building as
sociation, income tax, tax on oil sales
and corporation stock, workmen's
compensation act, eight-hour day and
minimum wage for women.

Seek Six-Hour Day.

The agitation for six-hour day has
been going on for some time in the
ranks of labor in Alberta, Canada.
Some members Of the present legisla-
ture are known to favor the shorter
day, but such a bill, it is said, un-
doubtedly would meet with strong op-
position. The action of the legislature
is awaited with interest by all en-
ployers and working people throughout
the province. Labor leaders declare
they do not desire wages fixed by law,
but are willing to let them remain as
a matter of arrangement between en-
ployers and employees.

Week of Forty-Four Hours Adopted.

The plant of the United States Shoe
Machinery company, Beverly, Mass,
was opened on a new schedule of A
hours a week, and a readjustment of
wages. An official of the company au-
thorized the statement that employees
probably would receive as much under
the 44-hour plan as they formerly did
on a 5O-hour working basis. The com
pany recently recognized a union new
ly formed among its employees, and
announced the 44-hour schedule after
conferences with a union committee.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-05-09

The above shows cOncIuslVeIy That
our neighbors receive more considera-
ton than is accorded to US by the
powers that be. No class of men
work harder or more faithfully than
the force of the Newark postoffce,
but the limit has been reached and an
addition to the force is an imperative
necessity and should receive i'm
mediate attention.

RESERVATION
IS PUT OVER
Four Democrats Help the Re
publican Opponents of
League
PUT OVER RESERVATION

Washington, Nov. 13.-Squarely
Joining the issue with President
Wilson, the Senate adopted today
a reservation qualifying the obliga-
tions of the United States under ar
ticle ten of the League covenant.
A solid Republican lineup rein
forced by four Democratic votes, put
the reservation across exactly as it
came from the foreign relations
committee e and in virtually the Ian
guage which the President declared
on his western tour would cut the
heart out of the covenant and mean
the rejection of the treaty. The vote
by which the reservation won was
46 to 33.
The fight for reservation having
thus been carried to a climax the
Republicans presented for future
action a cloture proposal designed
to bring final action on the question
of ratification within a week. A less
sweeping measure, proposing limita-
ton ON the reservation debate, only
had been put in by the Democrats
earlier in the day, but rejected when
the Republicans voted to sustain a
point of order against it.
A vote on the question of clamp
| ing down a cloture on debate will
come Saturday morning and the Re-
publican leaders say it will depend
entirely on the Democrats whether
the move rallies the necessary two
| thirds to make cloture effective. The
| Democratic leaders were not ready
tonight to say how they would vote,
| being fearful that agreement to SO
sweeping a program might imperil
! their chances to secure action on a
ratification resolution of their
own.
| The article ten reservation as ad-
opted by the Senate follows:
t'The United States assumes nc
| obligation to preserve the territor-
ial integrity or political independent
ce of any other country or to inter-
fere with controversies between ma
| tions-whether members of the lea
que or not-under the provision
of article ten, Or to employ the mil
| itary or naval forces of the United
States under any article of the
treaty for any purpose unless in any
particular case the Congress which
under the Constitution, has the sole
power to declare war Or authorize
the employment of the military o,
naval forces of the United States
shall by act or joint resolution
so PROVIDE
