He said he had not been advised of

cuss the matter. but that he did know
that several ships would be sent to
the Navy Yard here for repair.
Other boats will be sent here ac-

just when and how many he could
not say.

AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT IG
NORED BY FIELD MARSHAL
HAIG

One of the news agencies of our
country is authority for the following
report from Washington: American
army officers are all wroth over the
content of the military report by the
British Field Marshal Haig, a few
copies of which have just reached
Washington. In his report Haig
mentions none of the military achieve
ments of the American divisions who
fought under his command, and mere
ly states the fact that after the con-
clusion Of the armistice they occupied
Coblenz. He, Haig, the Britisher,
completely ignores the American div
isions fighting under him and has not
a word to say Of the influence Ameri-
can participation in the war had upon
the course of military events, al
though it was precisely the army of
Pershing which came to the rescue
of the Allies when these were beaten,
fatigued and exhausted. This report
by the Britisher Haig will very likely
prompt the Congress to request the
War Department that the exploits
and achievements of the American
army be collected and recorded ac-
cording to the official data of the
Department. 1t will also be demand
ed that full publicity be made of the
data and representation made by the
Allies to the President and to other
American authorities as to the hope
lessness of the Allies cause if Ameri-
ca would fail to help them.

BEWARE OF THE OLD "WAGE
FRAUD"

Jobs for heroes?
Make way for the soldier-worker.
Help him toward his immediate need
"a job.
That's good as far as it goes-but
look out for the employer who wants
workers at reduced wages.
True, he will say: "Sure, I want
him at his old wagesw
Many soldiers will fall for that
without realizing that it means a re-
duction of nearly one-half the pay he
was receiving two years ago.
Few of the returning men know
that the purchasing power of their
dollar has been reduced by about one
half in the past few years. When he
buys his civilian clothes he will get
the first jolt, but full realization will
not come until he settles down to the
old grind.
There is much Unemployment that
seems to be unavoidable. There is
widespread unnecessary unemploy-
ment. Especially is this true in in
dustrial centers. There is a conges-
ton of jobless workers in many
Eastern cities.
Many soldiers, deceived by the

glamor of the hero worship and wild
welcome in Eastern cities, have made
the mistake of returning to Atlantic
ports with their discharge bonus, ap-
parently thinking the days of joy and
nights of gladness were to be pro-
longed forever. All he had to do was
to take a job and then gather his
wonderful new-made friends.
The recoil is sad, disillusionment is
doleful. Some of the "hard boiled'
employers are taking advantage Of
conditions to get cheap labor. They
are offering the cold wages on the
old job"
We owe it to our returning men
that they should not be robbed of just
wages. We owe it to ourselves that
wages not be cut at this time.
Warn the soldiers and sailors who
are coming home. Let every organ
lied worker be on the alert. Talk
this in meetings. Get the understand
ing of the RELATIVE WAGE and in
sist on an income that will be "ade-
quate to maintain" not only the "rea-
sonable standard of life" outlined in
labor's new international bill of
rights, but high American standard.
Resist the insidious wage cutter.

EMPLOYMENT SERVICE
Sec'y of Labor Wilson FavOrs Crea-
ton of Permanent U. S. Employ
ment Service Bureau

Washington - Secretary of Labor
Wilson has recommended to Congress
the enactment of legislation creating
a permanent public employment serv-
ice for the United States.
In letters to Representative j. M.
C. Smith, chairman Of the House
Committee on Labor, and to Senator
Kenyon, chairman OF the Senate Com
mittee on Labor, he approved the gen
eral principles of national public
employment system unanimously
agreed upon by representatives OF the
Governors of the States at the en-
ployment conference held last month
in Washington, and transmitted an
outline of a bill embodying those prin-
ciples.
The outline calls for the continu-
ance of the United States Employ
ment Service, developed during the
war, as a permanent bureau IN the
Department of Labor and in charge
of a Director General appointed by
the President, and :; system of public
employment offices, operated by the
States and cooperating with the Fed
eral Employment Service, The Fed,
eral Government would contribute
funds to the States for the mainte,
nance of their offices, which woulc
work under standard rules and regu
lations prescribed by the United
States Employment Service, the ma
tional service handling labor clear
ances between States, inspecting anC
gathering of information as to labol
and employment conditions. At thu
conference which agreed upon thi
outline were representatives of 81
States, including nearly all the in
dustrial States, and representative
of employers and labor.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Too Late Now to Return to Private
Ownership of Railroads

Washington - Organized labor m
the railroad industry has vetoed the
return of the properties to private
management. 1t proposes, before the
new Congress shall begin to make
itself ridiculous in this direction, to
convince even Congress that it is too
late to turn them back on any terms
that will be satisfactory to the stock
holders or the officials of the railroad
companies.
Glenn E. Plumb, chief attorney for
the independent railway brotherhoods
and for the Railway Employer De-
partment of the American Federation
of Labor, is authority for the ah-
norncement that neither the Under
wood bill nor the Watson bill can be
nassed and enforced, because either
hill if passed, will lead to strike.
These bills provide that the ratt-
road properties shall go hack to the
nrivate owners V. tn a guaranteed net
income upon the property investment
account" of the companies. In the
Underwood bill this is 6 Per cent, and
in the Watson bill it is 6h per cent
These property investmen! accounts -
are the private companies own claim
&C to the value of the property They
rorresent all the wind and all the
wafer and all the robbery chat IS en-
balmed in the stock and bond issues
of all the railroads. Tnc total Is
atcut nineteen blll 'ons of dollars.
If Congress adorts the Watson BILL
which is the one drawn by the War
fel5 Association Of Stock and Bond
Holders. this huge bulk of wind and
water and robbery is guaranteed by
the Government, and the consumer OF
food and fuel aAd clothing IN Fhls
country will have to pay $535,oOO,OOO
more next year, in higher freight
and passenger rates, than they aTf
having this year. The Underwood
bill means an additional tax upon oul
family incomes of $440, 100000 year
of course that is an indirect method
of reducing wages, because 1t ADDS
+o the cost of living. If either OF
these bills is enacted, the two MIL
lion railroad workers will promptly
call for another wage increase. Plumt
saws that that will be absolutely ne
cessary, because they are now just
keeping up with the higher prices OF
the necessaries of plain living.
But Congress may think that IN
stead of raising our freight and pas
senger rates the necessary 10 per CEN
to pay the private stockholders then
dividends on the wind and water rob
berry. they will get the money by cut
ting wages.
"If wages are cut" says Plumb
"there will be a strike that will para
I'VE the industrial life of the coun
trv." To make up the ,OOOOOt
additional revenue that the Watson
bill provides, wages would have to b'
reduced about 40 per cent. Resistance
to such a cut would be inevitable
Indeed, resistance must be expected
to any reduction in railroad wages
whether it be direct or indirect re
ductiOn.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1919-06-06
THE MERCHANT AND LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS

If there be one man who should
favor organization of labor, that man
should be the merchant. Above all,
he is the man who profits from organ
ization of the workers. He should be
friendly at all times to the workers
friendly to the labor organization.
Were it not for organized labor,
thousands would be making such
meagre weekly or monthly wages that
thew would be scarcely able to pay
their rent and feed themselves and
families.
The worker who receives a decent
and living wage is supporter OF the
community. He is entitled to a few
"extravagances" as well as the other
fellow. The more the worker receives
in wages, the more the merchants OF
the town put into their cash registers
for purchases made by the worker and
his family. The worker earning S3O
a week probably lives in house the
rental of which is $40 or $25 month.
He and his family trade at the stores
and spend considerable of the weekly
wages. The worker receiving $15 to
S18 a week usually lives in a cheaper
house and spends proportionately less
than does the first cited. Who benfits
then? The merchant?
Here's where organization comes
in; the worker belongs to a labor
union. The labor union secures for
its members better conditions and in
creased wages. The scale of wages
for the non-union worker is set by
that paid the union worker. Organi-
zation comes in again.
Strikes are regretable. No labor
organization calls a strike unless it
is necessary under present conditions
1t is a pity that the two forces-the
union and the employers-could not
get together and settle their differ
ences without strife. But often there
are employers who desire trouble, fol
they refuse to deal with the unions OF
their orga>ized employees. Commit
tees and representatives of the union
have been turned down" by the en-
ployers, and statements made "that
the men could talk as individuals.
In this enlightened age, especially
after the report of the United States
Commission on Industrial Relations
having been made public, the en-
ployer should realize that collective
bargaining is the right idea. If ht
did not refuse to deal with labor
organizations and there would be les!
trouble, less strikes. He would fine
the unions willing to meet him more
than half way. But he takes tn,
wrong way around. He invites strife
The merchant, whether or not h
is in sympathy with the worker, ma!
say "these labor troubles are affecting
my business-why are the unions stir
ring things up?" 1t might be ans
wered that the unions are stirring
things up-agitating-for better con
ditions and increased wages for thei
members, to allow the members t
live according to the accepted stan
dard-so that the workers can trad
at the merchants store and buy bette
goods, the sale of which allows tn
merchant to make a profit more tina
acceptable to him.
