Teachers Need
1882 per Annum.
Can't Live on Less is Deci-
sion of New England
Committee

Boston.-A school teacher needs a
salary of $1812 year to live decently,
maintain interest and efficiency in her
work, and provide for old age, is the
conclusion of committee appointed
by the Massachusetts teachers feder-
alton to study this question.
It was shown by figures that
teacher who had salary of $500 a
year in 1897 needed salary of $1325
a year in 1917, to secure an equivalent
share of the things of life. Since
1917 the advance in the cost of living
has scared to new heights, making
the estimated 1882 a conservative
figure.
The chairman of the committee de-
clared that at tie present time many
teachers in the state begin on salary
of only $3.50. He said that up to a
comparatively recent period one Mas
sachusetts city was paying its young
teachers $3.50 ,year-"a practice
which was not stopped until the state
board of education called attention to
its illegality.'

Interest In Unions.
Shown By PrOiteers Who
Seek to Control Them

Seattle.-The demand that trade
unions purge themselves of radicals"
comes from those who insist on deal
ing with the workers as individuals.
says Secretary Buck, of the Washing
ton State Federation of Labor, who
charges that employers, in their pre-
tended discovery of radicals in the
unions" are really attempting to gain
control of these organizations and
make them ineffective that profits
may not be disturbed.
"Our enemies have condemned every
man in the ranks who has exhibited
activity" said Secretary Buck. "They
have placed the brand on practically
every officer in the labor movement
from Sam Gompers down, and stretch
ed their definition of radical to in
clude the whole Of that group of mem
bers who show enough interest in
their affairs to attend the meetings of
their respective unions. All of these
must be 'purged' if we would satisfy
the employers.
Even then our movement would
not be their idea of perfection. To
reach this pinnacle in their esteem we

Pittsburg.-Not long ago friend
of mine came to Pfttsburg who want
ed to know about the strike. He want
ed me to tell him first of all what had
impressed me most. My answer was
the answer that anyone who had
watched the strike must have given.
What had impressed me the most was
the courage of the men; what had i'm
pressed me the most was their endur-
ance; what had impressed me the most
was their uncomplaining patience.
1t had seemed almost miracle to
me that men of dozen or more ma
tionalities and half dozen states, sep
arated into isolated communities
should one fine day have struck to-
gether, 350,O00 strong.
Seemed Like No Strike at All
The longer l stayed and the more
| knew about the strike, the more in
credible did the strike seem, for as
went from town to town, staying a
few hours now in one community and
now in another, realized how little
organization they had before the
strike started.
Take Youngstown, for instance. Nc
one had ever organized Youngstown
and everyone said that Youngstown
never could be organized.
In Youngstown and East Youngs-
town and the nineteen small communi-
ties surrounding it where steel is
made, there are about 10000 steel
workers. The first large meeting ever
held of the national committee occur
red in January of this year. Between
that time and September %, there was
never a larger force of organizers in
this whole district than six. Six men
organized Youngstown and the sur
rounding country. Six men and that
was all.
You can imagine how much impress

side agitators would haYe had
They would have had no effect at al
if there had not been an upsurging
purpose in the hearts and minds OF
the workers themselves. The stee1

eve all thought on the Pacific
coast, the strike is over; why, have
been surprised to find the coal strike
still on" said my friend That is the
cruelest weapon which they have to
use. It is a weapan which is used
not only against strikers, but against
the whole American public. From the
first to the last smothering silence
has surrounded the strike. When |
first went to New York, three weeks
after the beginning of the strike,
was greeted with:
"Why, the steel strike is over"
At that time the whole Mahoning
valley which includes Youngstown, all
of West Virginia, and the Ohio river
districts were dark as black pocket
There was nothing doing in the Calu-
met district. Since then strike break
ers, negro scabs, and also some Ameri-
can scabs have opened up some of
these places. But this makes no diff
ference. The foreigners are sticking.

Little Steel Produced
Steel is not being produced. Us
ing the figures supplied by the steel
companies to the papers production
today is not so per cent. In the Home

tion is $50 ears a day, steel now drib-
bles in two and three carloads in the

which have just come in concerning

my fricnd. but how are they going to
win ?"
They Can't Lose
They can't lose. This strike can't
be lost If you want to know what
is going to happen to this strike, con-
suit history. History will give you
the answer. This strike is part of the
great movement for liberation. The
shifting of power from the hands of
the few to the hands of the many.
From time to time it has bee nchecx-
ed. From time to time it has suffer
ed set-backs, but it cannot lose. There
is every chance of this individual str;k
winning, for with the weapons of their
naked courage these people nave Grip
pied the great u. S. steel corporation.
From every hand there comes the c~y
for steel and more steel, but the steel
is not being manufactured. 1t is not
being manufactured because the moral
victory was with the strikers from the
first. They fought with the weapons
of righteousness. They fought an in
comparably stronger enemy, but an
enemy who had not one real moral
weapon.

Curnmins Bill Bad.
By Stopping Strikes Wrongs
May Continue

Washington.-As a member of the
senate committee on interstate COM
merce, Senator LaFollette has filed
minority report in which he dissents
from the cant strike" provision and
other features of the Cummins rail-
road bill. The report closes with this
significant paragraph:
"A government which contemplates
no wrong or injustice to labor in the
United States has no occasion to take
from it the one weapon by which it
has won its way up from serfdom--
the right to strike"
I'm all the hearings before the COM
. mittee which had this bill under con-
sideration," continued Senator LaFoI-
lette, "I heard no argument advanced
in support of this proposition except
that the railway men of this country
might go out on strike, and so per-
feet was their organization that they
could thereby paralyze transportation
and deprive millions of people of food,
fuel and clothing
1t seems, however, not to have oc-
Cured to the supporters of this bill
to inquire how monstrous the wrong
must be which would ever lead the
men of the railroad unions of this
country to adopt such course, nor
to consider that the men themselves,

aggregating more than 10,000,000 peo-
pie, would be the first to feel the pinch
of want and suffering that would some

pendence. They had gotten to the mo-
ment when in their hearts they were
saying, There comes time in human
events when it becomes necessary" !"
and what they were going to separate
themselves from, was the old regime
the regime of the 12-hour day.
They were through with industrial
slavery which told them that they
could have no organization. 1t might
almost have been said of them that
they organized themselves. The
strike was a great popular movement
toward true democracy.
Why They Stick
"Yes," said my friend, "but how do
you account for them sticking as they
have in spite of the lack of organizers,
lack of money, in spite of the fact that
the commissary had to start out in
such small way, with the absence of
strike benefits and with all the sup
preston and intimidation there has
been-how do you account for them
sticking? They had every reason to
go back, even including high wages,
and not even the ordinary strike dis
cipline to keep them out"
In it he described their weapons and
ours. Here we have on the one hand
just cause and a cause when it is
won will lead toward raising the level
of life for great group of workers.
This cause is being fought with cour-
age, with patience, with endurance.
1t is being fought with good faith.
What the metal of the strikers is re-
veals itself by touching instances
every day Lately in Braddock man
named John Kotzuros, a Greek, ap-
peared in the strike headquarters.
The Good Samaritan
II have been saving my money!" he
said, "and | have more than need for
my own wants and | want to help
some of the strikers who are not so
lucky" This is what people are doing
on all sides. The foreigners have laid
by money in the bank.
1t is one of the reproaches made by
the mill owners that to save money he
lives in un-American conditions. For
eigners are not gamblers with chance
like Americans, and the future to them
is a vivid thing, and the three fears:
the fear of unemployment, the fear Of
old age, and the fear of sickness, are
! specters forever before them They
know that good times don't last for
ever. They know that there comes
times of lockout. They know that the
mills get shut down and they insure
against these things by painful saw
ings. This sacred insurance fund
against disaster they do not touch
1t is inviolate-but they are using il
now.
These savings, the fruit of their
self-denial, they are pouring out and
they are pouring them out on the al
tar of liberty-liberty to join their
own unions if they choose-hundreds
and thousands of simple untutored
people responding to the one great
impulse.

BY LONG STRIKE OF WORKERS WHO STILL CONTINUE TO
WAGE FIGHT FOR DECENT LIVING CONDITIONS

Nothing can ever lead to such a
strike in this country except wrong
so intolerable that men are willing
that they and their families as we'll
shall face starvation before they sub
nit to the wrong.
'You can no more legislate men out
of their right to strike in this country
that you can legislate them out of
their religious faith or their political
belief. There are some things from
which, if the government is wise, 1t
will withhold its hand, and the right
of labor to strike is one of them. The
strike clause of this bill ignores all
the knowledge which can be gained
from study of similar legislation in
England and the United States from
the first Statutes of Laborers' down
to the present day.
"In 1349-50 England passed various
statutes compelling a man, If he has
