Garment Workers Get
FOrty-FOur Hour Week

New York-The International La
dies Garment Workers. union has
won it's three months strike against
the Dress and Waist Manufacturers
association, an organization that had
declared unyielding opposition TO the
unions demands.
The manufacturers have been forced
to agree that hereafter when an en-
ploye is discharged he will be accord
ed the right to have his case reviewed
by an impartial tribunal. This de-
mand aroused the greatest opposition
of the employers who declared that
the unionists were attempting to esta
blish themselves in jobs for life.
But the strikers refused to waive
this demand and the employers We're
finally forced to accept it.
Other gains are: A union-shop
agreement; a 44-hour week; wage
increase for week workers that
ranges from $1.50 to $500 a week,
with piece workers to be increased;
workers discharged for union activity
are to be Immediately reinstated with
pay for time lost and those unjustly
discharged after being employed four
months are to be Immediately rein
stated with back pay. These protec-
tions, the unionists show, will make
it impossible for manufacturers to
victimize any active worker in their
movement.
About 10000 workers are affected
by this settlement. The strike
originally involved about 10000
workers, but manufacturers outside
of the association settled with the
union a few weeks ago.

STRIKE FOR SAFETY

Wheeling, w. Va. Iron molders
employed at the plant of the Wheel
ing Mold and Foundry company sus-
pended work rather than risk their
lives with inexperienced cranemen
who have taken the places of striking
electrical workers.
This company and its iron molders
attracted wide attention last Septem-
Der by decision by Chief Justice
Clary of the North Carolina supreme
court, acting as umpire for the ma
tional war labor board, who declared
that while employers and workers
were patriotic during the war, the
employer received increased profits
from the government, while the work
er gave to the government.
The umpire said:
"The employers have, as a rule,
patriotically given full aid to the
prosecution of the war by placing
their splendid plants and their highly
skilled chiefs at the service of the
government. The employees, as a rule,
have also, with the same patriotism,
yielded the eight-hour limitation
wherever it has been necessary to
speed up production for the govern
ment. The former have received great
increase in profit. The latter have con-
tributed an increase in the hours of
labor, and vast numbers of men to
fill our armies. The former have re-
ceived from the government; the
latter have given to it. They should
not be asked to do so beyond the ne
cessity of the occasion"

InjunCtiOnS Favored
MEASURE IN FAVOR OF LABOR
FAILS IN THE WEST
Anti-InjunctiOn Bill Defeated in Cali
fOrnia Legislature-Was Intro
duced by Member of Cement
Workers Union

Sacramento, Cal. - The Flaherty
| anti-injunction bill, modelled after the
Clayton law, has been defeated in the
state senate. A similar bill was pass
ed by the legislature two years ago
and was vetoed by Governor Stephens
The author of the bill is member
of the Cement Finishers' union, San
Francisco, and in urging his col
leagues in the senate to regulate
strike injunctions, answered the claim
that it is useless to pass the bill be-
cause the governor will veto it.
"Permit me to call your attention"
said Senator Flaherty, "to the fact
that the present federal immigration
act, containing the literacy test for
migrants, was vetoed by three presi-
dents and was finally passed over the
veto of President Wilson. And today,
as a result of the lessons taught by
the war, the American people are
fairly unanimous in demanding even
more stringent immigration restric-
tion than was urged so persistentIy
for all these years by the American
Federation of Labor.
"We ask for this law because no
weapon has been used with such
disastrous effect against trade unions
as the injunction in labor disputes.
By means of it the workers have
been prohibited under severe penal
ties from doing what they have a
legal right to do. 1t is difficult to
speak in measured tones and moder-
ate language of the viciousness with
which unions and trade unionists have
been assailed by the injunction, and
to the working people of California,
and to all fair-minded men, it seems
little less than a crime to tolerate it
longer.
81 want to assert that the organ
lied people of California ask no i'm
munity for themselves or for any
other one who may be guilty of any
unlawful act.
eve do maintain, however, that we
have right to insist, and we do in
sist, that when a workman is charged
with a crime he shall be accorded
every right, be apprehended, charged
and tried by the same process of law
as any other citizen of our great
state"

Robbery of Workers
Predicted by UniOniSt

Albany, N. Y.-"Dan Harris told
you what would happen when you
amended the state workmen's COM
pensation law so that employers could
make private settlements with injured
workers." said Legislative Agent Fitz-
gerald, Of the New Yorks tate fedora
tion of labor, in a statement on the
result of an investigation of this
system.
The probe hes been conducted by
the state and in a report to Governor
Smith the Investigator says that he
has uncovered the rottenest system
of robbery of the manned and help
less that has ever disgraced a state.
Women and men, broken and injured,
have been systematically swindled for
four years past, given $50 or $40
when thousands were due them under
the law.
By this robbery of the poor and
wretched the insurance companies
have cleaned up over $30,000,000 in
four years. While the investigator
does not recommend that the private
companies should be barred out of the
state, he does favor abolition of direct
settlements and compel the companies
to make rectitution.
Regarding this condition, Legislative
Agent Fitzgerald says the investiga-
tion confirms the wisdom of the state
federation of labor at that time, when
it opposed the amendment that would
permit direct settlements, and calls
attention to this statement by Dan
Harris (since deceased), who was
president of the state body:
"This bill, if it become a law, will
compel the injured workman, or if
killed, his family, to do business di-
rect with the insurance companies
lawyers and agents, who will have the
power to make awards"

the following language:

than a sporadic strike, which, Ivy their

the 9Th Mr.. Smith arrived in the city

Among other employers he called
upon Mr.. Rhoads, whose words and
actions gave evidence of antagOnism
from the beginning, he stated for one
thing that his men were very in
competent; this in view of the fact
that some of them had been holding
down their jobs for five or six years,
seemed a little inconsistent, especially
as the U. S. government has decided
that mans competency shall be de-
cided by six weeks trial, after which
time, the continuance of his position
shall be deemed evidence of efficiency.
Mr.. Rhoads also said that the finan-
cial status of his company rendered
an increase of wages impossible, and
then stated that if so per cent of the
employers in Newark would sign he
would follow suit, and finally wound
up by saying that the matter would

divers opposition to organized labor
has been continuous. A few years
ago Organizer Gilmour of the Ma
chinists' union was assaulted by gun
men while in the vicinity of the
Oliver plant, and this was the in
direct cause of Gilmour's death.
Oliver has been known as fight

all the fight out of him and he pleads
that the public suspend judgment"
Only recently he was elected presi-
dent of the Knoxville board of COM
merce.
When his attorneys entered a plea
Of mot guilty" for their client, they
asked the court for permission to
change the plea within two weeks.
Because this request is unusual where
a defense of any kind is possible,
other attorneys are asking if Oliver
will plead insanity.
To this query the Knoxville Plain

of commerce had picked a crook for

Full baskets Of flowers we bring,
And scatter their satin soft petals
To carpet path for our King.

For every mornings glow;

And all this world of Gods is bright.
And God would have 1t so! =
