Anti Picketing Bill
Once More to Front
In Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Cal, The Anti-pick-
citing ordinance, passed by the City
Council of Los Angeles in 1910 in an
effort to break the metal trades strike,
again has come to the front, this time
in an unexpected manner
One woman and two men, members
Of the Journeymen Tailors' Union,
Is members of which are on strike
for an increase in wages, were ar
rested for selling copies of an extra
issue by the Citizen, the paper owned
by the Los Angeles Labor Movement.
The woman and men are charged
with violating the antipicketing or
dinance because the extra contained
an account of the strike and was sold
in front of clothing store which re-
fused to grant the increase asked for,
thus forcing the tailors to strike. The
defendants are out on bail pending
trial.
The outcome of this case will be
watched with much interest, as the
freedom Of the press is involved
It is hardly conceivable that a court,
even in Los Angeles, will hold it is il
legal to offer for sale copies Of a
newspaper containing an account of a
strike
The arrest Of the woman and men
has resulted in rallying the labor
movement solidly to the support of
the tailors in this fight for living

Senate.

Washington 4 national eight-hour
day beginning January l, 1921, is
proposed in bill introduced in the
Inited States senate by Mr. Moses,
Of New Hampshire To meet consti-
tutional objections the bill applies to
any mine, quarry, mill, cannery, work
shop, factory or manufacturing es-
Enlistment engaged in production en-
tering interstate commerce. The au-
thor Of the bill explains that it would
be similar to that Of the Adamson
law of the railroads.
This legislation was passed by con

Mac Chinists Lose Out
AS Natural Result OF Lack OF Or
ganiZation The Strike At Long
And AlIstatter Co., Falls Flat.
MEN RETURNED TO WORK THURSDAY WITH
NOTHING GAINED

With nothing gained but the loss
of week and half's pay, the ma
chinists employed at the Long & All
statter plant, and who went on strike
a week ago last Monday, returned to
work on Thursday morning of this
week a sadder but wiser lot
They returned to work on the firms
terms They got nothing they de
manded The failure of the strike is
simply due to the lack of organization,
nothing else Many are of the opin-
on that the strike was by union men
and that it had the sanction of the
local organization. But not SO, or
ganized labor had nothing to do with
il and disclaim any responsibility. If
organized labor had had anything to
do with this strike there might be a
different tale to enfold.
Some time back, the machinists en-
ployed at this plant after being pretty
well organized, made certain demands
on the company and walked out to
enforce them 1t was just at this time
that the machinists employed at the
Hooven, Owens, Rentschler company
and who were also on strike, agreed
to submit their grievances to the
National War Labor Board for ad-
justment.
The Long & Allstatter company
urged its employees to return to work
promising, SO the men claim, that il
would abide by the decision of the
War Labor Board and would give

the same conditions awarded the
Hooven machinists The men accept
ed the proposition and returned to
work
However, after the War Board
made their finding in the Hooven case,
the Long & Allstatter company seem
ed to forget their promises until Jack

ed up number of times when they
finally agreed to pay the 5 cents an
hour increase, same as was granted
the Hooyen employees The first pay
ment under this agreement was made
two weeks ago. However when the
men opened their pay envelopes, i'm
aeine their surprise when they found
not 5 cents extra for every hour
worked, but 5 per cent, which really
means but 2 1-2 cents per hour
Much Indignation was aroused and
meeting of all the machinists was
Immediately called and held at which
it was decided not to return to work
until the firm granted the full cents
per hour demanded
On last Saturday when the men
appeared for the balance of their pay
due them the committee was advised
to call at the office a prepared slip
bearing figures was presented to the
committee showing that the company
could not grant the increase demand
ed, at this time. 1t was also explain
ed that the lower priced men would
make gain under the firms propo-
sition Just how this is to be doesn't
seem plain to many of the men at
present Anyway it seems that the
committee was easily convinced and
SO reported at the meeting held Sat
urday and again Monday and since
the strike was not under the juris-
aiction Of the union and therefor no
strike benefits being paid, it was de-
cided to return to work Thursday.
Here is plain example of what
lack Of organization means. At the
time the men returned to work pend
ing the decision Of the War Board in
the Hooven case. many of the men
who Joined the union, thinking they
lad no further use for it, as is SO
cften the case where men use it for
only what it brings them, dropped
the union As result their was no
head to the movement, no strike bene-
fits, an utter failure, and as stated
before, all the men gained was a loss
of a week and half's pay
Organized labor win be the gamer
N the long run by the failure of this
strike as great lesson has been
taught. Experience is almighty hard
teacher but mighty good one

GRIPS FOR VOYAGE

With Porto Rico clamoring for in
dependence or to be made a full
fedged State, [ne members OF the
House Committee on Insuiar Anairs.
headed by Congressman Towner,
their new chairman, are setting out
to visit the island and get an exact
idea of conditions.
The committee. with other Con-
gressmen. will sail for Porto lsico
from New York today. The Por-
to Rican resident commissioner, Felix
Cordova Davila, is accompanying the
party.
Uncle Joe" Cannon, over eighty
years young. is one Of the number to
make the trip. He wants to get the
sea breezes and find a new brand Of
long, black cigar down in Porto Rico,
where they make them.
The members of the House will not
remain long in the islands because
OF the uncertainty over date Of the
extra session.
1t is considered a certainty Porto
Rico will get neither independence
nor Statehood at this time. How
ever. out Of the mission may come
liberal legislation to help the islands
industries.

PUSH TEST. CASE IN
PHONE RATE RAISE

The Government has taken steps to
bring the controversy regarding the
legality Of the Burleson telephone in
creases to an early issue. Solicitor
General King will appear before the
Supreme Court of the United States
Monday, and request that considera-
tion be expedited in the North Da-
keta case, which has been selected as
presenting the best features for a
test case.
Both the Department OF Justice and
the Postoffice Department are anx-
ious for an early decision, because of
the court litigation, with the Burle-
son order as a target, that has been
piIinE up all over the country.
In the North Dakota case the State

hand Of the crime. She declared that

duct she had him arrested, but he was

A friend complained the
other evening that he had
lost $500 during the day
and had no idea where it
had gone.
A day or so later he said:
"Say, l got that $780,"
"How?" we inquired.
"When 1 went to my mail
I found a note in my box
saying, Mr.. Duvall wants to
see you in the cashiers Of
fee. Mr.. Duvall asked me a
few questions, and when I
told him / was short $500
the day ! paid my box rent
he handed me the $500. He
said he thought l left it on

British Candidates Forfeit.

A new feature of the British election
just held which deserves attention is
the candidates forfeiture, designed to
confne the ballot to persons legitimate
ly represeutatiFe of parties or fac
tons. Each person whose name is
printed on the ballot deposits $3.50,
which is forfeited if he-or she-fails
to obtain one eighth of the votes polled
in his constituency, and otherwise is
returned. In the contest Just closed
there were many independent candi
dates, aside from the persons named
by the established parties, including a
number Of women, running for office
for the first time in British history
A popularity of the election was the
unusual size of the majorities cast for
the successful candidates, with the con
sequence that many of those named
on the tickets fell below the forfeiture
point. 1t is computed that no less
than $50 candidates have forfeited
their deposits. This makes about $97,-
500 by which the government is the
gamer by this contest. Whether this
wholesale forfeiture Of deposits will
discourage independent candidates in
the future remains to be demonstrated.

New York as a Lure.

It was a wit who said that "Good
Americans when they die go to Paris"
Had he been an observer of political
instead of social life he might have
said that prominent politicians when
they retire, or are fetired, from Office
60 to New York.
The list is a long one, and extends
back many years. B. Il. Bristow, after
serving as Secretary Of the Treasury
and Offering unsuccessfully for the re-
publican nomination for President, left
politics and opened law Office in the
metropolis. Years later John G. Car
Isle, Thomas B. Reed and David B.
Henderson, all three former Speakers
Of the House, took like step. John
G. Spooner, after distinguishing him
self in the Senate, settled in New
York, and is still there.
These are but few of the names the
list shows. In some cases prosperity
followed. In other cases disappoint-
ment was experienced.
Mr.. McAdoo's name is the latest ad-
dition. He, however, but returns home.
He knows the town. He has been alb
ssnt only few years. and should be
able to easily take up where he left of

A German Spartacus.

In some respects the German revo-
luton presents decidedly comic as
peet. The overturn of authority at
Berlin has swept away many of the old
forms and ceremonies and brought the
essentially practical character of the
German individual into evidence. For
example, it is related in the dispatches
that in the seizure by Spartacus parti-
sans, or ultra radicals, of the Vor-
waerts newspaper Office the other day
sentries were posted at doors and Win
dows and one of them attracted atten-
ton by standing at his post with a rife
in one hand and an opened umbrella in
the other. This exhibition of Spar
tacan hardihood may throw light upon
the real nature of the revolution,
which is moving spasmodically through
its phases of action and reaction, with
a steady tendency toward extremism.
