Economic Powers Won

New York - The Textile Workers
says: "The 48-hour work week in the
textile industry is now an accomplish
ed fact, with the exception of few
spots here and there, particularly in
the southern states where they have
come down to "a and 55 hours per
week; and it is only question of a
short time when, through the econo-
mic power of the United Textile
Workers of America, backed up by
public opinion, the 48-hour work week
for textile workers will be universal
all over the country"
Immediately on having determined
the fact that the shorter hour work.
day had been secured, a demand for
an increase of 15 per cent in wages
was issued by the United Textile
Workers, and notices sent to all
manufacturers in the New England
states. Realizing that determined
fight would probably follow refusal
to grant the demand, the manufacture
ers posted notice, which were widely
circulated by the daily press, that
they had voluntarily granted an in
crease equalling that asked by the
United Textile Workers.

GOOD MEDICINE
JUSTICE AND EDUCATION is
THE BEST BOMB REMEDY
Petty Bosses Harsh Treatment and
Low v ages Result in Retaliation
BY Men Unfamiliar With Orr
Theory of Government

.Washington-Justice and education
is the best bomb remedy, summarizes
A. F. of L. Secretary Frank Morri-
sons comment on the attempt of
bomb thrower who was killed in an
attempt to destroy the life and wreck
the home of United States Attorney
General Palmer, in this city.
In reply to local newspapers re-
quest for a comment on this outrage
Secretary Morrison said:
"This attempted destruction of life
and property should cause calm re-
Election, rather than hysteria, on the
part of every American.
81 can understand why the nihilist
of Russia used bombs, but this method
can have no place in American in
stitutions. And when it is used it is
our patriotic duty to inquire why.
"For years the trade union move
ment has urged the restriction Of i'm
migration, but the workers we're op-
posed by steamship companies, the
steel trust and other employers Of Ia
Dor who stimulated immigration at
the rate Of 100000 persons year.
"Many of these immigrants were
herded in large cities or other indus
trial centers. They were encouraged
to use their own language and to per-
petuate traditions of their mother
country. At election time, in in
Vulnerable instances, they were voted
en- bloc, and if they would organize a
trade union, or suspend work to stop
exploitation, they were enjoined,
dubbed and jailed. This is an old
story in West Virginia, Colorado,
Pennsylvania and elsewhere.
"What can Americanism mean to
those people. They do not even un-
derstand our language. To them
Americanism means petty boss and
low wages. They know nothing of
our theory of government.
"This country is now reaping the
result Of its immigration policy-or
lack of policy-during all these years.
"Bomb throwing is always chal-
lenge to organized society, and should
be met in that spirit. But the ques-
ton must be traced back to it's root
and treated accordingly. American
ism must be more than shibboleth.
1t must mean education, opportunity
and social justice for all. We must
vitalize our declarations and our be-
liefs that injustice has no place on
American soil.
"In this soil, bomb throwing will
wither and die"

STRIKERS WIN
CLOAK MAKERS SUCCEED AND
ARE GRANTED INCREASE
Garment Workers Union Victorious
in Strike Numbering Thousands
of EmplOyes-Nearly All the
Demands Are Granted

New York-The $4,000 striking
members of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers. union won a Al
hour week and increases in wages.
President Schlesinger and the confer
ence committee continued in confer
ence with representatives of the
Cloak, Suit and Skirt Manufacturers
association almost continuously dur
ing the two weeks strike. Almost all
demands were secured. There were
13 points involved. Briefly summar-
lied, they are as follows:
Week work system, abolishing piece
work entirely. Reduction Of hours
from 40 per week to "A hours. Com
plete unionizing of shops. Not more
than eight hours a week overtime for
more than eight months a year; no
overtime Saturdays or Sundays. Equal
distribution of work during the slack
union and association will work out a
system for newcomers that will pre-
vent wage reductions. Manufacturers
must register sub-contractors to in
sure union conditions by latter. Mini
mum of IA machines in manufacturers
shops, and 10 machines in sub-cOn-
tractors shops. No work can be turn
ed out for shops where strike exists.
Union officials permitted to investi-
gate in the shop the cause for dis
charge of union employees, the burden
Of proof to rest on the manufacturer.
Doubel time for overtime for those
who have worked by the week pre-
IYiously; time and a half for former
piece workers.
The new wage scale varies from S18
for finishers to $44 for operators. In
dependent contractors have signed the
agreement as outlined above.
Increase in wages varies from $4 to
So per week.
Six and a half holidays year shall
constitute the number Of days off with
full pay. Efforts will be made during
the dull season to have cloak makers
work in shifts so as to equalize the
work. There are $50 large manufac-
turers represented in the manufac-
turers' association, and 800 indepen-
dent manufacturers represented in the
settlement. The trade does not aver
age more than eight months work in
year.

Less Than Living Wage

New Orleans A survey by the
Louisiana state council of national de-
fense shows that II per cent of the
women in the state are not paid suf-
fcient for existence. Wages, hours,
living conditions, fatigue and acci-
dents are estimated. Wages are the
substance of the situation. The fig
ures obtained on working women of
New Orleans cover 1888. The fac
tory Inspector estimates 1886 are
employed in industry. During the
past five years wage increases have
reached 60 per cent, not sufficient to
cover the living expenses by nearly
20 per cent. Budgets of individuals,
government statistics and two big
charitable organizations make it clear
that IL per cent of the working
women are earning less than the mini
mum existence, Sc week. Forty per
cent receive under So, which is con-
siedred the minimum comfort wage.
Accidents among women are start
lingly on the increase, with three
times the number of accidents as five
years ago, with only 60 per cent in
crease in the number of workers. The
workers receiving the lowest wages
are more than twice as liable to ac-
cidents and injury as any other.

No "ShOrt-Cut' Road
To Industrial Peace

Atlantic City, N. J.-There is no
"easy" way to solve industrial and
social problems, declared President
Gomeprs, replying to Washington
Cd. c. newspaper which has revived
the plan to hold national conference
to meet in that city and discuss these
questions.
The newspaper asked President
Gompers' views on the proposal, and
the trade unionist replied:
"a conference of the character in
dicated may be helpful in bringing
men to a better realization of each
others point of view and the claims
which the workers make upon society
as a more adequate reward for serv-
ice performed.
"If, however, there is in the project
the thought that set of basic prin-
ciples for guidance in solution of Ia
Dor problems and assurance OF indus
trial peace can be adopted, it will
utterly fail. There is no royal road
to a final solution of the labor prob
lem, nor can industrial peace be
secured by set of resolutions.
"I have endeavored to do my share
to help solve the problems of the day
and of the time, and to bring about
as nearly an approach to industrial
peace as perhaps any other man in
our country, but to entertain the idea
that the labor problem can be solved

or permanent industrial peace at
tained is following a will-o'- -the-wisp.
AN intelligent, rational discomfort
for better time and better conditions
of life and work is the harbinger OF
progress and a better day. 1t is the
ignorant, irrational unrest which must
be understood and educated and
brought within the common activities
of all our people in order to open the
path to our greater progress and our
higher civilization"

STATE INSURANCE PAYS

Portland, Ore. - Since the state
workmen's compensation law became
effective in 1914, the industrial acci-
dent commission has received from
all sources $6,OO7,O8 which it has dis
bursed in the course of business at
an administrative expense of only
GIT per cent, the balance being avail
able for the payments of claims of
workmen injured in Oregon industry.
During the year 1918 there were 25,-
288 workmen injured in industry in
the state, 1872 of the accidents being
fatal.

MOLDERS WIN 8-HOUR FIGHT

Cedar Rapids, Iowa-An agree
ment has been signed between the
Molders' union and the Cedar Rapids
Foundry and Machine company which
terminates a bitterly contested strug-

peace with the union following pres
entation of the demands. Under the
provisions of the settlement the eight

Employing ExSOders, Still Wearing Uncle Sans

inently proper to protest against its deSecration.
The deSpcabe action of the person who u.s. unfortunately

of the great city of Toledo discussed at the regular

unequivocally denounced as an un-
American, unmanly, and cowardly
act, which deserves the condemnation
of all just and liberty loving people,
Be it further
Resolved, That we deplore the con-
duct of some of the returning soldiers,
who after uncomplainingly making
every possible sacrifice and risking
life itself in order that the principles
Of Democracy might triumph and be
forever upheld throughout the world,
have by this act given evidence that
their patriotic declarations were false
and without foundation. Be it fur
ther
Resolved, That inasmuch as organ
lied labor is doing and has ever done
everything possible to assist dis
charged soldiers to secure remunera-
tive positions, this act on the part of
some of these men is ungrateful and
displays a lack of appreciation Of Ia
bors efforts in their behalf. And
further be it
Resolved, That copy of these res
olutions signed by the officers and
bearing the seal of this body, be sent
to Governor Cox, Cornell Schreiber,
Mayor of Toledo, Ohio, the Union
Leader of Toledo, Ohio, and also that
they be published in the Newark
Leader.

Whereas, The cardinal principles of
labor organizations being founded up
on the statement of the Declaration of
independence that call men are Gre
ated free and equal, it follows as
natural sequence that militarism is
not only obnoxious to organized labor,
but is also antagonistic to the prln-
ciples of Democracy and free govern
ment; and believing that labor has in
the past too often tamely and quietly
submitted to high handed outrages
perpetrated by autocratic and tyran-
nical officers of municipalities and
corporations and private individuals,
which were made possible through the
assistance rendered by armed gangs
of scab protectors called militia or
state constabulary, we deem this an
opportune time to enter a protest
against the continuation of further
crimes against labor. Therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Trades and Labor
Assembly of Newark, Ohio, that the
recent action of the Mayor of the city
of Toledo, Ohio, in employing an
armed force of hundreds of khaki clad
discharged soldiers to intimidate and
overawe the thousands of jobless art
isans who lost their positions in con-
sequence of manfully asserting their
inalienable rights as free American
citizens in demanding living wage
and healthful working conditions, is

agencies in the United States, taking
advantage of every atrocity ascribed
70 black or white, of every outbreak
Of race hatred, are doing their ut
most by word of mouth and by writ
ten propaganda to obtain control of
negro workingmen and to incite
them to join with outlaws among
white workers to plunge the United
States into the throes of disastrous
social revolution. They are charged
with being at the bottom of the re-
cent struggles in Washington, Chica-
go and Omaha, where agents of the
department of justice and others who
have studied the struggles declare
they can plainly see the face of the
bolshevist leering through the smoke
of those fires of race prejudice which
burnt up lives in these three great
cities.
Government Gets Evidence.
The department of justice, cogniz-
ant of the schemes being furthered
by the Industrial Workers of the
World, the American Federated Com
mune soviets and other radical or
carnations, is keeping close watch on
the negro problem and is urging that
the government strengthen the arms
of negro leaders in maintaining the
color line between the negro laborer
and bolshevism.
Many pamphlets and leaflets con-
tanning radical propaganda have been
discovered by agents of the depart
ment of justice working in the black
belts of the great industrial cities.
The poisonous quality in them is
made effective by the fact that those
to whom they are addressed read on
ly one side of the question. They
are insidious not so much in what
they present as what they suppress.
Insidious Pamphlets Circulated.
In virtually every pamphlet the
negroes are urged to affiliate them
selves with the Industrial Workers of
the World and be treated as "breth-
rem by the whites" who belong to the
body. They are told that the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor excludes ne
groes from all unions, which is not
the case. In like manner every feat
ure that will arouse class hatred is
urged by the "Red" propagandists,
without regard to the facts in the
case but merely to further the plans
of the radical leaders to use the Afro
American race as a tool for those
who are seeking to spread bolshevism
in the United States.
