CAR MEN
Will Not Stand For
Wage Reduction.

Chicago,-Street car men in this
city have taken cognizance of state
ments in the daily press that their
wages will be reduced to before the
war standards at the signing of the
peace treaty,
1t is not known whether these state
ments have been published to "feel
the street car men on wage reduc
tions, or if wage redutions are to be
enforced or if other employers are
behind the discussion.
In any event the street car men
have given notice where they stand on
the question, and in statement to
the companies and various public Of
ficials the workers say:
"To accept wage reduction, under
the circumstances and conditions that
we have pointed out to you, would
not only be a crime against our
families, but it would be a grievous
wrong to all other workers and blow
to the principles the best men and
women of the world have struggled
for the past four years.

Teachers Unions
Defended And Advocated By
Texas Newspaper.

In an editorial defending the right
of teachers to affiliate with the trade
union movement, the Houston (Texas)
Post says:
Zone reason why the teachers of
the United States have endured the
hardships of the war period with no
compensating increase Of pay is that
they were not organized, and another
reason is that the great majority of
them are women.
I'VE believe there is no room to
doubt that the teaching standards of
Houston and other features of the
system will be more effectually raised
through the teachers themselves unit
edly and out of a sense Of profession
al pride, than has been the case here
tofore.
"And there will be many improve
ments when the teaching body can
speak collectively and advise collec-

British Labor
Knows Need For The League
Of Nations.
NJ Ea ~ ~ IN
BY Chester NJ. Wright

BY Chester NJ Wright
Of the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy
Beyond doubt unjustified injury is
being done the cause of the League of
Nations by circulation. in America of
the statement that the British Labor
Party regards the covenant draft as
defective and unsatisfactory"
Royal w. France, returning from
Europe, says he brings Labor Par
ty statement to that effect, acting as
representative of number of Ameri-
can senators. Mr. Frances quota
ton has been given wide publicity.
Labor Party resolutions to this effect
have been given circulation also
through other channels.
Of course the impression that is
created is that British labor and liber-
al thought is against the League of
Nations as it is being planned in
Paris. This impression is not cor
rect.
The report brought from England
| by Mr.. France does indicate the atti
tude of a great many of the political
labor leaders of England, an attitude
made perfectly clear before there was
any draft of League CT Nations
| oox,anan+ to c,.;+ioicoi
Early in January a meeting was
| held in Albert Hall in London at which
the position of the labor political lead
ers was made known. This meeting
was called ostensibly in support of
the League of Nations. but it soon
developed that there was much cam
outage about the announced purpose.
The majority of the speakers were of
the Mrs. Snowden- George Lansbury-
Ramsay Macdonald type, and it is
this type that is responsible for the
report brought back by MIR. France.
Defeatist sentiment was not typical
of the English people during the war,
and it is no more typical today
| League of Nations support it not
less assertive, not less pronounced
not less sincere than in the United
States.
There has not come from the British
House of Commons, nor yet from the
British House of Lords, any round
robin pledgeing opposition to the
League of Nations.
What we do know about sentiment
in England is that the left wing
irreconcilables criticise the plan, as
do the same kind of irreconcilables
everywhere And this is no argu
ment against it at ALL
Britan's rank and file is as soundly
convinced of the great and immediate
need of the League of Nations as is
the rank and file in America.

lively, for then the rule of repression
will necessarily give way and spirit
of genuine democracy be substituted
for it.
Surely if the public school system
is entitled to be called the cradle of
democracy, there ought to be at least
enough of democracy in the operating
force to be heard upon every vital
issue pertaining either 70 the well be-
ing of the teaching force or the train
ing of the children"

1t has grown so that it's old friends
and enemies may be pardoned for not
recognizing" it. But they ought to
respect it after they are introduced.
At least they should have sense
enough not to try to ignore its exis-
ence or to beat it up.
The little outlawed, friendless, pen
niless waif of last century has grown
into a big, husky, trained giant, that
has demanded and obtained respect
from the greatest of the earth. He
has millions of dollars in his pockets,
a mighty army of friends and great
influence in high places.
Great Britain is now inviting the
cooperation of the unions in the con-
duct of industry and government. The
War Labor Board of the United States
with half its members employers who
had always fought unions, unanimous
ly agreed that labor has right to
organization and recognition.
When the League of Nations was
born It gave hearty recognition TO
union labor
Then we have Burleson and the
United States Steel Company saying
they will not recognize the unions,
The head of the governmental depart
ment with the largest number of em-
ployees defies the policy of that gov
ernment and invites a struggle with
unionism In this he is joined by the
largest private employer of labor, the
billion dollar steel trust, swelled with
war profits.
We know what happened to the
toad that tried to initiate the OK. But
this is bad time to be blowing up

WATCH THE NEW CHILD LABOR
LAW.

How is the new child labor federal
law working out in this vicinity?
If you don't know here's chance
to quietly investigate If you find
violations you can do good turn to
childhood and to labor by making the
truth known.
Here are some Of the provisions of
the act which became effective April
25th.
If any child under the age of IA
years is permitted to work in any mill,
cannery, workshop, factory or manu-
featuring establishment, or any child
under the age of 16 is permitted to
work in any quarry or mine, all the
profits of those institutions for the
entire year are taxable to the extent
of ten per cent
A child labor tax division has been
established in the bureau Of internal
revenue. Working certificates will be

THE SQUARE DEAL.

Speaking before the members of the
Children's Service Bureau in Pitts
burg last week, Dr. Samuel S. Mar
quis, head of the Ford Motor Co.'s
welfare department, said:
IF manufacturers and employers
expect to have their employees turn out
satisfactory work they must pay sat
isfactory wages and see that their
living conditions and other conditions
outside the factory are satisfactory. !"
''The power of hire and fire should
be taken out of the hands of foremen
and superintendent and should be
put into the hands of the employment
department, and welfare bureau. If
the employees are given square deal
they will give their employer a square
deal.
Every man should receive enough
to keep a family, live in decent home
in decent neighborhood and give
his children the proper schooling be-
fore sending them off to work. Poor
working conditions and lack of inter
est in the employees today is bound to
effect the coming generation If the
father does not receive enough pay to
properly feed, clothe and educate his
children they are bound to be unde-
veloped physical and mental speci-
mems of man and womanhood, and it is
these children who are to be the
coming industrial workers of our
nation"

1t is time to quit talking about re-
fusing to recognize unions. 1t is
like denying the existence of gran
ite cliff. This does not hurt the cliff
but is apt to be hard on the air-filled
bottle that is hurled against the rocks.
When man begins to talk of
smashing unions it is time to examine
his head. At least he should be re-
moved to a museum. He is certainly
a dangerous citizen. If he possesses
any industrial power he will do more
to incite to violence, invite revolution
and boost Bolshevism than all the
soap-b boxers, red posters and parlor
martyrs that clutter up the picture.
A social Binet test would reveal a
racial kindergarten mind
1t was nationally possible to ex-
pect success for the first attack on the
unions. Weakness in "for'ard sight
is something we have all experienced
Absence of ''hind-sight" indicates
softening somewhere besides in the
heart.
| Almost anyone might have been ex-
cused for thinking he could clean out
the first little union 1t was an out
law anyhow Everybody was against
lit. It's leaders were not sure they were
right. It's members were full of fear
and suspicion There was much more
hope than cash in the treasury.

accepted as evidence of age in states
where such permits are issued. There
are no provisions for certificates in
North Carolina, South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and Texas. There will be, if
one may judge by past performances,
many attempts at evasion, especially
in those chivalrous southern states
where child labor has long been
stencil in the nostrils Of decent people.
The law provides rigidly for an
eight-hour day and six day week
and for DAY work only The penalty
provided is $1,000 fine or three months
Imprisonment for false returns on the
age of children. However, the penalty
would rarely, if ever, fall on the en-
pIoyer; the parents of the children are
usually the ones who apply for work
ing cerLlncateS.
A corps of inspectors has been ap-
pointed and is on the job. From now
until the Supreme Court gets its turn
to decide on the constitutionality of
this new law it would be well to watch
its workings and its effects.
Next year we shall see if the revenue
collected by this proposed impost shall
have been sufficient to pay the sal
aries of the inspectors.
