y ages Not Reduced

The attempt which was made by en-
ploycrs early in the year to reduce wages
has apparently ceased. The confidential
business information bureau quoted in
previous articles gives indications of this.
Beginning in November, Immediately af-
ter the armistice, it shows steady run Of
strikes because of cuts in wages. By
March it reports that wages are falling
faster than the cost of living. These
strikes continue till June, when there are
four recorded, but there has not been one
since
The reports Of the state labor commits
soners vary as TO employers, though most
point 10 the same thing.
"The attitude of employers toward the
labor problem is one Of serious concern"
writes.
"The sane-thinAing employer is seeking
better condition and taking more lib
crai view of labor's welfare, counselling
with the workers in many cases and classes

Voting Power in the League

We publish elsewhere on this page a
letter from correspondent challenging
the accuracy of President Wilson's re
cent statement in California: 1T is not
true that the British Empire can out
vote us in the league { nations and
therefore, control the action Of the
league The President qualified this
assertion by saying at another time that
the disadvantage resulting from the in
equality in voting power in the assembly
would be felt only in the case OF the
election Of new members of the league
Such elections are to be made by a two
thirds vote in the assembly, in which
Great Britain and its dominons Will
cast six ballots and the United .tates
only one
There are, however, as our correspond
ent points out other instances in which
the inequality might come into play. In
case of a dispute between Great Britain
and the United States Great Britain
could, under Article NN, have the dis
pute referred to the assembly, The
representatives in The assembly of the
two nations at odds would be disqualified
TO vote. But the representatives. of the
British dominions- Canada. Australia.
the Union of South Africa, New Zealand
and India-would retain their votes.
decision would be made by a majority
OF the assembly. excluding from the
quorum the seven representatives of the
batr
not parties to the dispute; and this de
cision would have to be concurred IN bv
those seven representatives. Vet it can
hardly be held that the five votes of the
british domlnlons would not give Great
Britain an advantage in securing the
initial majority decision from the as
sembly.
Again, as our correspondent shows.
If a dispute between the United States
and one of the British domnions (these
all being recognized as independent
members of the league) should arise
and be referred to the assembly the
other four dominions and Great Britain
would be permitted to vote on the cues
1lon. Also, Great Britain, being conn
cll power, could lnterpose veto in the
assembly ON majority decision given
in favor of the United States. The
United States being litgant. would
have no such Veto
This contingency is guarded against
by a reservation submitted by Senator
McCumber, strong friend of the cove
nant. 1t reads:
hat the United States Understands
and construes the words dispute he
tween members and the words dis
pute between parties in Article XIV TO
mean that dispute with self-govern-
ing dominion, colony or dependency rep
resented in the assembly is dispute
with the dominant or principal member
represented therein. and that DISPUTE
with such dominant or principal mem
her is a dispute with all its self-govern-
ing dominlons, colonies and dependen-
ces, and that the exclusion of the par
ties to the dispute provided in the last

Michigan ARE greatly in advance of the

"Most employers seem to be willing to

But not all are in this tone "The en-

There has been a considerable, number
OF strikes and lockouts," he says, but this
department has record only Of those in
which we are called on to mediate, and
during this period there has been a dispo-
sition on the part of the contendlng par
ties to waive mediation and so to the bat
and fight it out themseves.',
This situation is borne out by the re-
ports of the Federal board. 1t has been
called on in about hundred cases a
month, far its records have been
made public which is only to June is, and
this is about the same number of cases
that it handled last year. But during this
period the number OF strikes Increased

conclusive.

There is still another case in which
the inequality of representation might
make itself felt. The assembly is to
elect the four small power membexs of
the council. Presumably these elections
are to be by unanimous vote. But in
the man9uvring to obtain support for

The Radical Fest

AS to the extent to whic! the local bodies
are ont from under control no figures are
available, except in individual cases. On
August 20, for instance, there were estimated
to be two hundred small mining strikes. of
which only twenty were authorized bv the
international officers. All the members Of
the federation who went out in the Winnipeg
and Seattle strikes did so against positive
orders, and it was only by d hairs breadth
that general labor revolt in Omaha was
averted
The fact that the old-line officials were in
full control at the last convention of the
federation, in spite of the widely heralded
plans OF the radical unions inside it's bounds
notably the Indianapolis group" TO GUST
them, apparently bears out the state labor
commissioners reports that there is no i'm
mediate danger of an overturn. But it was
also notable that the federation adopted a
resolution declaring that state and cjty CEN
trail labor bodies had no right TO initiate or
encourage general strikes, and ordering the
revocation of the charters OF any that did
this
In general, the reports of trouble with the
radicals come from the West. Eastern states
report conditions mot materially changed
from 1914 "no revolt whatever" "conserva-
tives IN complete CONTROL and so on. Even
Michigan and Wisconsin, where the great
J. W. ", disturbances in the mining REGIONS
OF four years ago threatened the peace of the
states, report THAI the radicals are losing
ground, and Michigan particularly says that
there is little radlcalism in the mining coun-
try. Wisconsin says that the unions are
gradually getting into closer touch with the
Gompers element in the federation

TMPLOYERS of labor are more con-
ciliatory in their attitude toward it
than they were before the war, ac-
cording to nearly three-fourths of the
state labor commissioners who have an
swered The Tribunes QUESTIONABLE.
In spite of the great increase in labor
troubles there has been no increase in the
number of cases coming before the Federal
Cancellation board.
The American Federation of Labor gained
$4,000 members, increase in strength
of 20 per cent, during the last year.
The Key Factors
These facts, with other corroborative
evidence, give the key to two great factors
in the labor situation which stand out as
a result of The Tribunes survey: (D The
increasing aggressiveness and demands of
labor and (2) the increasing willingness
of employers to meet these demands and
to concliate the workers.
Underlying these are two other factors:
The increasing power and solidity of or
ganized labor and the drive from the lower
ranks of the organization, which is forcing
the old leaders to a pace faster than they
would choose themselves.
The changing attitude Of the employers
strikingly illustrated early this week
in the announcement of the plan of the
American Association of Manufacturers to
appeal for an industrial truce" to last
through the period of reconstruction, and
the concessions that were offered labor to
accept such a truce. But not all employers
in agreement with this, though practl-
cally all are seeking in some way or other
to concilate their men. The faction
which is holding out believes that this is
the time to check the advance which or
ganized labor has been making recently,
and is making its stand on the question of
recognition of the union This is appear
ing particularly in the South, where labor
commissioners report as many lockouts
because of the organization of unions as
there are strikes.
