Detroit, Mich-Detroits mayor,
James Couzens, has served notice on
every department of the city that
there must be no delay in starting
municipal work which would give i'm
mediate employment to the city's re-
turning soldiers.
Mr.. Couzens has instructed the
Commissioner of Public Works to
proceed Immediately to advertise for
bids for sewer construction, the pro-
gram of which entails an estimated
expenditure of S3,000000 The con
troller's office has been told to make
arrangements for payments on con-
tracts.
1.-The cost of this work will be great
er now than later" admits the mayor,
"but it would be better to give this
money out for work instead of char
ity," he added
In strange contrast to these prac-
tical emergency measures is the op-
tlmlSm OF the Board OF Commerce,
which declares that the peak of un-
employment has passed
However, both the municipal of
faials and the Board of Commerce
appear to agree upon one point. The
Board sees a hopeful sign in the fact
that half of the laid-off 5000 en-
ployes of the American Car & Found
ry Company are expecting to leave
the city In the city departments it
is fast becoming an unwritten, but
no less effective rule, that employment
is to be afforded only bona fide res
idents of Detroit, and that transients
must return to their home cities or
seek employment elsewhere.

ers And Employers.
Little Attempt Made To I'm
pose Penalties For Illegal Acts.

Washington The Canadian law
which prohibits strikes and lockout
on public utilities until a government
commission investigates is being dis
regarded by workers and employers,
reports the bureau of labor statis-
tics in survey of this legislation,
printed in bulletin No 233. The law
has been denounced by organized la
Dor in Canada
The period covered by the survey
is from March %, 1907, when the act
became effective, to December 1, 1916
During this time 222 strikes and lock-
outs, affecting l00,608 employees and
occasioning time loss of 4,838, ,467
working days, occurred in industries
within the scope of the act. Of these
91.9 per cent of the strikes and lock
outs, affecting 1913 per cent of the
employees and oceasioning 62.3 per
cent of the time loss were illegal.
The report shows that little attem-
pit has been made to impose penalties
because of these illegal acts. In all,
charges have been laid against nine
employees for encouraging illegal

Detroit's Mayor Presses For
Work For Soldiers.
Urges Sewer Construction Involving $9000000 Better Give
Work Than Charity, Is His Motto

In other words, Detroit says to
those who faithfully labored to create
her unprecedented wealth of the last
five years, "If you amt got no job,
you needn't stick around"
What is Deneved to be unique
effort to aid the relatives of soldiers
and other members of the working
population has been inaugurated by
Mayor Couzens. He has installed in
his office in the City Hall a bureau
where expert advice on the desira-
bility of stocks, bonds and other in
vestments for those of small means
may be obtained
The original motive of this meas
ure was to afford protection to the
benefciaries of dead soldiers insur-
ance policies against statesmen of
wildcat mining, oil and other secur-
tiles who have begun to prey on sold
ers' widows.
The plan, once formed, soon de-
veloped into a broader field and the
services of the bureau will be at the
free disposal of all who have small
sums to invest and are ignorant of
where else to seek reliable advice.

The important feature of the meet
ing, however, was the report received
of the unfair attitude assumed by one
of our large companies towards the
union men in its employ. Discrimin-
alton against these union men is be-
ing displayed in every way possible
to so do. This action on the part of
the company is going to bring on
trouble, and that very shortly. 1t is

ENORMOUS PROFITS
OF Shipbuilders Shown By
UniOnist.

Seattle,-The strike of ship build
ers against the Macy award which
includes several localities, is not a
rejection of arbitration or consilia-
tion methods, according to James A.
Taylor, president of the metal trades
council. He says the ship building
unions were given authority by Mr.
Piez (shipping board) last month to
negotiate separate agreements with
ship yards if they desired to do so.
Secretary Swain of the metal
trades council has made public these
figures on the profits of ship builders.
"In 1917 the government paid the
Seattle yards $145 per ton for ships.
At this figure the builders were able
to pay an increase of $1.75 per man
per day. This amounted to $3.50 a
ton, or $4,000 per ship of $500 tons.
"In July. 1918, the builders We're
paid $167.50 per ton, and admitted
that the cost of construction, COW
'ering everything, was $1,000,000 per
ship.
"An 8,800-ton ship at $167.5O per
ton brought the builder a price
amounting to $1,474,0O0 Taking the
admitted cost of construction from
this amount there was left net
profit of $474,000 If the rates asked
by the metal trades council, amount
ing to an increase of $4,000 per ship,
had been paid, the builders would have
had net profit of $408,0 on last
summers figures.
at is admitted that the builders
at the present time are getting $186
per ton; which for an 8,800-ton ship
means price of $1,636,800. 1t is
further admitted by the builders that
the present cost of construction of
these ships is $1,350,000. This allows
profit of $286,000 If the full de-
mands of the men were met the bull
ders would still have a net profit OF
$200,8O0 per ship at the present time
"The Skinner and Eddy corporation
sold two ships to Japanese interests
for the sum of $5,0OO,00O The ad
mitted cost of each ship was $1,000
600, which gave the firm net profit
on that one deal of $3,000,000"

COnscienceIess Greed.
Of Large Employers Cause OF
Unrest, Says Sec'y Morrison

Washington answer to a re-
quest for literature or articles to
combat bolshevism among working
men," A F. of L. Secretary Frank
Morrison made this reply
"The only literature or articles is
sued from this office is in advocacy
of the principles of trade unionism.
Il believe that the principal cause
for social unrest in our country is the
attitude of constituencies greed as
represented by certain large employ
ers of labor who refuse living wage,
insist on long hours and deny their
employees the right to join a lawful
organization in an effort to improve
their working conditions
Nothing can develop a mob spirit
in this country quicker than the anti
union attitude of the steel trust, for
instance. This corporation, through
its control of small municipalities in
western Pennsylvania has made free
assemblage impossible in these com
munities by closing every hall to their
workers. The same principle is ap-
piled by the steel trust on the Mime
sofa iron ore range, in the northwest
lumber industry, and other employers
of labor who seem to be guided in
social questions by the attitude of So
called "big business"
"As force begets force the mob
spirit of the employer is met by the
mob spirit of the employe. The de-
velopment of this spirit is logical
when it is considered that because
these workers are not permitted to
act collectively throug trade unions
they possess no knowledge of the or
derly development or the value of
public opinion as a remedy for wrongs
This public opinion can only be de-
veloped throug organization, agitation
and education, which the American
Federation of Labor so insistently
calls for"

strikes, against II employees for going
on strike Illegally, and against three
employers for declaring illegal lock-
outs. In the case of II employees
the charge was either dismissed on
withdrawn, in the case of nine en-
ployes the charge was sustained.
Charges against two employers were
sustained, charges against one em-
ployer were dismissed
The aggregate of fines imposed, ex-

an aggregate of $30,000000 which
would have been incurred if the min
imum penalty had been imposed, or of
$3.50, 100000 if the maximum had been
imposes This does not include vio-
lations of the provisions against in
citing to illegal strikes.
The report shows clearly that the
restrictive and penal provisions of
the act have been disregarded by
those against whom they were di-
rected and without any serious at
tempt being made by the public or
by administrative agencies to impose
the penalties provided for violation.
Repeated violation of these pro-
visions" it is stated, must inevitably
reflect upon their enforceability and
foster such disregard for the act
as to lessen its usefulness even as a
conciliatory measure.
