PHONOPS BACK PAY

WASHINGTON, July z5.-Back
pay to January I, 1919, for the tele
phone operators in five States on
the Pacific Coast will be ordered by
Director General Burleson, of the
Telephone and Telegraph Admins
tration, it was stated today by Miss
Julia O'Connor, President of the or
ganized telephone operators, who,
with John J. Purcell, of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, held a conference with
this Board on this subject.
This conference followed the set
Element of the telephone strike on
the West Coast by agreement of the
companies to the wage increase de-
manded by the strikers, and will af-
feet about 1900 telephone operat
ors in the States of Washington,
Idaho, Oregon, Nevada and Califor-
mia. In granting the back jay, the
Wire Control Board, which is COM
posed of Director General Burleson,
John C. Rooms and w. II. Lamar,
recognized the claim of the operat-
Ors for an increase dating from the
expiration of the unions former
contract with the companies, Jan
uary ], 1919, which claim the com
panies have disputed and fought for
the past seven months. The ruling
of the Wire Control Board is there
fore counted a decisive victory for
the telephone operators and their
leader, Miss O'Connor, under whose
direction they won their strike in
New England some months ago, and
have Just won also a guarantee of
recognition for the union by the tel
ephone company in Cleveland, Ohio.

PASSING THE BUCK
Contributed.

Passing the buck is the great
American sport. Whether we real
ize it or not, when things go wrong,
we instinctively hoist the moral
umbrella and let responsibility drip
on some one else, So fast and so
constantly dose the buck pass that
often il is necessary to put castors
or it to avoid scratching the furni-
ture. 1t only takes the words:
" Why didn't you?" to start it on
its merry round That question is
answered every day in a thousand
ways, with every word in them
pointing at some one else. You'd
think ut was my fault was not in
tie dictionary.
But you cannot pass the buck to
yourself!
When You sit down and put the
question up to your own conscious
ness YOU cannot shift responsibility
20 some one else. You know you
are to blame. You may deceive
Others, but it is useless to fool your
self.
il you fail to seize an opportunity
for advancement you are going to
have to answer to yourself the
question: Did I have the funds to
grasp the chance?" If you encoun-
ter sickness and the necessity for
physicians and medicines confronts
you, YOU must tell yourself frankly
whether you have provided the
money to meet such an emergency.
If you are out Of a job and have diff
ficulty in getting another, you must
show yourself whether the money
to tide you over is there. When the
future Of your family and those de-
pendent on you stares you in the
face you must reply to the query
What is to become of them when
the embalming fluid is sloshing
around in my veins?"
War Savings Stamps and Treas
ury Savings Certificates are the an
swers to those questions, the salts
factory answers. When you have
them you do not have to pass the
buck either to others or to your

MRS. RENA MOONEY
TALKS IN EVERETT

Mrs. Rena Mooney wife of
Thomas j. Mooney, who is one OF
the five labor unionists chosen by
the san Francisco gang as a sacri-
flee to the hate of the United Rail
roads frame-up bunch; and who
was acquitted of completely in the
Preparedness Day bomb outrage of
July, 1916; and who has been trav-
cling in the Eastern States in an
effort TO secure a fair trial for her
husband, addressed an intelligent
audience of from 1000 to LOO
men and women at Red Mems Hall
on Thursday evening of last week.
Mrs. Mooney makes no claim to
oratory, but her frank narration Of
the events of the Mooney trials car
ricd with it conviction in the minds
of her large audience OF the truth Of
every word she said 1t was a long
story this modest little music teach
or told, but she tersely made it clear
to her hearers in the limited time
she could remain with us.
She condensed into her seeming
~ short address all the most i'm
portant facts and incidents Of this
famous, or rather, Infamous, at
tempt to hang five innocent people
to crafty the hate of San Fran
cisco's labor haters,
For more than two years the La
Dor Journal has kept pace with the
principal events in these trials, all
the while knowing the majority Of
its readers doubted the truth of the
reports, but Rena MONEYS speech
impressed the truth of her plain
and modest statement upon the
minds of a thousand hearers within
an hour.
At the close of Mrs. MONEYS ad-
dress, given under the auspices Of
the Central Labor Council, a col
lection was taken, amounting to
$160.79. which was turned over to
Mrs. Mooney to be handed to
the International Workers Defense
League.
The Committee having the ar
rangements for this meeting in
charge deserve much credit for the
efficient manner in which they did
their work.

III 1904. Csee the !. w. W; Its
History Structure and Methods. by
Vincent st. John, issued by the 1.
w. w. Publishing House, 112 Ham
ilton Ave, Cleveland OhioD From
this pamphlet is taken the follow
ing:
u. w W. Tactics or Methods
LAS 81 revolutionary organization
the Industrial Workers of the World
aims to use any and all tactics that
will get the results sought with the
least expenditure of time and ener-
gy. The tactics used are determined
solely by the power of the organiza-
ton to make good in their use. The
question of right and wrong does
not concern us.
NO terms made with an employer
are final All peace so long as the
wage system last, is but an armed
truce. At any favorable opportunity
the struggle for more control of in
dustry is renewed.
LAS the orEanizat ton gains control
in the industries, and the knowledge
among the workers of their power,
when properly applied within the in
dustries becomes more general, the
long drawn out strike will become a
relic of the past A long drawn out
strike implies insufficient organiza-
ton or that the strike has occurred
at a time when the employer can
best afford a shutdowR-or both.
Under all ordinary circumstances a
strike that is not won in four to six
weeks cannot be won by remaining
out longer In trustified industry
the employer can better afford to
fight one strike that lasts SIX months
than he can six strikes that take
place in that period.
NO part of the organization is al
lowed to enter into time contracts
with the employers. Where strikes
are used, it aims to paralyze all
branches of the industry involved,
when the employers can least afford
cessation of work-during the
busy season and when there are
rush orders to be filled
THE Industrial Workers of the
World maintains that nothing will
be conceded by the EMPLOYERS ex-
cept that which we have the power
to take and hold by the strength of
our organization. Therefore we seek
no agreements with the employers.
Failing to force concessions from
the employers by the strike, work is
resumed and Sabotage is used to
force the employers to concede the
demands of the workers."

is an advertisement of a pennant,
made Of the finest quality Of red
felt On the staff end is the seal
of the l. W. w. and running toward
the point are the words "ONE BIG

GRAINS OF WHEAT

In a hearing before the Agricul-
tural Committee, John A. McSpar-
ran said: THE people are kicking
at paying $2.26 for wheat, when
they are paying $50 a bushel in the
form of shredded wheat. Corn is
selling at $1.90 and the people are
paying $12 a bushel in the form of
toasted corn flakes. The Quaker
Oats Company made 104 per cent
profit on its investment last year"
Senator Norris said there was
universal public misconception Of
the farmers interests in the food
situation. THE people think the
farmers are getting $2.26 for wheat
and they are not" said Mr.. Norris.
The people don't know they are
paying enormous profits to the
middleman."
The farmers want the wheat
guarantee repealed and Senator
Norris said he thought it would be
q good idea" to introduce bill for
repeal of every vestige of every
statute" fixing wheat prices.

ONE BIG UNION

Last week the Central Labor

Constitution and Laws of the One

patient, disconnected workers,
which in recent years exemplified
its hopes and aims in the Indus
trial Workers of the World"

to renounce the American Fedora

ments for the permanent welfare of
labor, and cast their fortunes with

sole purpose Of disorganizing them

camp. There are thousands of
them, traitors and spies, in the craft
unions, whose presence is stun
bling block to progressive move
ments inaugurated by those unions.
They continually cry gag law"
and foul play when a proposition
is brought forward which does not
agree with their ideas Of disorgan-
ization and destruction.
They howl like timber wolves for
free speech" and deny it to all but
themselves. It is not free speech,
but unbridled license that they
want.
They are living under a govern
ment which at any time may be
changed by the will Of the major
ity through the ballot, still they alb
stain from and sneer at political
action; vet the wjsest of them
knows that through political action
only can they gain industrial union

only remedy for the evils com
planned of-revolution like that Of

The outstanding conclusion which
may be drawn from discussions re-
specting the method of financing Eu-

ernment, the Commercial Museum an

Moreover, treasury officials and the

firm position against any plan which is
based on governmental initiative or any
large governmental participation. 1t
is well that this sound position has been

DELAWARE WORKS
NEVER COMPLETED
River Water Chain Only Tenn
porary in Characteristic
, to Add Gravity Flow
MACHINERY is WEARING OUT

The Delaware river chain of water
works.. upon which the major portion of
the city is now dependent for a supply
Of filtered water, has never been COM
pleted.
The $50 100000 spent on it was
with an understanding that much of
the work was of temporary character,
and would be supplemented later by
Implications and gravity flow from
forty miles upstream.
Since the plants were put into service
under Major Cassius E. Gillette. the
equipment has been constantly at work,
some of the large pumps running contin :
uously for twelve and fourteen years.
The strain has become so great that the
equipment must be replaced.
Millions of dollars will have to be
expended on lines and service equipment.
even though the gravity plan is never
carried out Plans for these improve
ments include a portion of the genera
scheme that has been worked out by
Chief Davis to insure q safe water sup
ply and reserve.
Daily Consumption 500 900 900 Gallons
When the Delaware river was first
decided upon as source of supply for
the city a daily consumption of 800,
600. 900 gallons was the maximum ex
pected. Today consumption figures
range sometimes above 800. 900, 900 gal
Ions. The output of the Delaware chain
when normal working conditions govern
l.. aLa,,t c0O nOn O0n r,1lo,y
Because of the general demand fol
an increased supply many plans have
been discussed as to the feasibility oi
increasing the Delaware supply to q
point sufficient to care for the whole
section it now covers. These included
the construction of an auxiliary pump
ing station in South Philadelphia ant
the construction of a large main tt
run down Second or Third street anC
to be used only below Callowhill OF
Market street. Estimates for these i'm
provements were made up and the cos
was placed at approximately SIS. .OOO. 900
About the time the South Philadel
delphia project was being considered, il
connection with an increased suppl,
from the Delaware river, it was deter
mined that the capacity of the Delawar
chain would not permit of another ex
ira service pipe for this particular sec
ton unless at large cost additiona
facilities were made along the uppe
Delaware.
With this determination came a stud,
of conditions on the Schuylkil with
view to increasing the supply from tha
stream and making it interlocking, s
that in case of accident water coul
be diverted into the larger area from
the Queen Lane plant and even iron
the Belmont pumping station, which i
the sole source of supply for West Phil
adelphia.
This led to the final abandonment o
