SKIRM|SH IN STRIKE
Break UP Mass Meeting Near
Pittsburgh; Make Arrests.
MEN START BIG WALKoUT
Big Mass Meetings Are Held at All
Mill Centers-Superinten OF
the Different Plants SayThey
Will Keep Running.

Chicago, Sept. 22:-The great steel
strike fell on Chicago and Calumet
districts when hundreds of workers
refused to answer the steam blasts
calling them TO early night shifts.
Officially the strike went into effect
at midnight Sunday, but after the ha-
ranguing and cheering OF large crowns
gathered at meetings in the various
"steel cities" south, east, and north OF
Chicago, hundreds of union men re-
fused to enter the plants.
The situation az Gary, the vortex
of the local strike whirlpool, was typ
ical. More than 5000 men answered
the u&ion call at the East Side park
to hear the officials of the United
States Steel corporation condemned
for their refusal to treat with the
workers. Union heads claimed that
5000 men were already on strike ana
would not report for work.
Plan to Keep Running.
Local superintendent, however, de-
clared that the plants would continue
to operate as long as the men came
to work. There will be no fires drawn
as long as there are faithful employ
ees to watch them. They derided I'M
ion claims that the plants would be
shut down as mere exaggeratiOn. They
estimated the union strength as be-
tween Is and % per cent Of the work
ers' total and promised protection for
the men who reported for work.
In secret the management Of the
Illinois Steel company, subsidiary or
the United States Steel corporation,
made ready to protect it's plants.
City authorities and Sheriff Barnes,
In whose territory clashes are expect
ed, if any materialize, will throw hun
dreds of deputies into Gary. Fifty
police will patrol the main street,
Broadway, and prevent crowds from
accommodating. The strikers drew con-
siderable satisfaction from the fact
that no one reported to join the "Citi-
zens' league which was planned as
a bulwark against disorders in Gary.
Another 5000 met in Indiana Har-
Dor, overlooking into the streets be-
cause the auditorium was too small %
accommodate them. 1t was claimed
that so per cent Of the 10000 work
ers were unionized.
Joliet saw repetition of this. Only
$500 men could find room inside the
SIavish school hall and 5000 more
stood about in the streets, unable to
hear the messages brought by organ
izers from Chicago.
Disorders Near Pittsburgh.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. 22.-In the
entire district it is estimated that
$4,000 steel workers are idle.
Some of these are strikers. Others
are workmen willing to stay at their

the action of strikers in gripping de-

INHERIT ANCET
LAWS ARE ABUSED
Rates and Exemptions are
Ridicu!ousIy LoW-4eon {.
Lum Exposes Them.

Leon E. Lum of this city. a student /
Of taxation, and a fearless exponent
Of the things he believes in, recently
commission giving his impression of
the present inheritance tax and call
ing attention to the absurdity Of the
exemptions therein.
Mr.. Lum submits that the inheri-
tance tax should take precedence over
an income tax, and it is a tax that
surely does not tend to depress wages
and living conditions. The following
is the text Of Mr.. Lum's letter. which
students of economic problems:
while means Of raising taxes are
being considered I call your attention
to the fact that the inheritance tax
rates in this state are unjust to the
verge Of absurdity.
I'm the first place the exemptions
are one-fourth what they ought to be;
in the second place the tax upon large
inheritances is one-fourth to one
twentieth Of what it ought. to be.
When the state protects a man in the
acquisition of enormous wealth and
the enjoyment of it during his life and
the distribution before death of enough
to make his close heirs millionaires,
surely if his widow and children are
given in addition enough to maintain
them in comfort all their lives if they
do not squander it, the state has done
enough for the man who amassed that
fortune. say nothing of the manner
| in which the fortune was obtained.
1T is my opinion that you should
| Immediately take steps to call this in
! justice and escape of property from
taxation to the attention Of the legis-
| lature. They are considering unjust,
. irritating and inconsiderable additions
to direct taxes already burdensome,
and wholly overlooking large and
just tax.
| "The inheritance tax, much as rich
men dislike it. is the most equitable
| and just of all taxes. The income tax
is next"

Secretary Wilson said that the De-

ever employers had been disposed to

Bill Introduced in:kegIs|ature.to
Make It UnprohtabIe to
Handle o|eomargaTine.

A lot Of people are still :prejudiced
against oleomargine. A few of us
were forced to forget our prejudices
:. during the war: and we were COM
PEELED to eat 1t because OF the high
price Of butter. We fought against it
for a long time, and while we were
shouting theS Sloudest we aearneds later
that we had been eating it right along
and thought it was good~butter:
The more popular use Of *oleornar-
garine would serve to keep the price
Of butter within reason. But the leg
islature Of Minnesota. proposes to head
has been introduced by Representative
Welsh of Glencoe which provides for
licensing all persons who handle this
perfectly healthful and clean fat, The
law will hit manufacturers, wholesal-
ers, retailers, butchers, grocers, res
':taurant keepers and all who hold it
for sale or who serve It to the public.
The proposed state license together
with the present, high fee exacted by
the Federal >. government will either
drive oleomargArine from the market
or force its price SO high that it will
cease to be, a factor in: competition
with butter. The bill proposes to tax
manufacturers $500 year, wholesal-
ers $500 and retailers $25. The Fed
eral tax is 5000 for wholesalers and Sc
for retailers. Wholesalers and retail
ers would therefore be jointly: taxed
by the state and federal governments
s731 year for handling the, same
stock of oleomargarine. That is three
times more than they exact from
liquor dealers in Wisconsin for dis
pensing booze. 's,'' '.,
In all probability wholesalers and
retailers would cease handling oleo-
margarine should the bill in question
become law, and this is probably the
purpose of the measure. The profits
in the product will not stand this ad-
ditional expense of handling it. Is
such a bill warranted at this time? If
you do not believe in this bill write
your representative about it.

New York Building Employers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-1n an
effort to end general strike against
the New York Building Employers
association, that involved government

The strike was in support of car

AMERICANS WARNED TO KEEP FEET ON
GROUND AND NOT SPEND Time SPINNING
DREAMS OF some TAILOR. MADE UTOPIA
BY Staff Correspondent.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-Heres the lesson Europe has for
the American working people:
Get down to brass tacks, get down to the definite
things of today, look to the inspiration that in America
and to the job that is in America Forget dreams,
cep in spare time throw away dogmas and quit looking
to Europe place where great minds PROFOUND nothing
but the great truths of life "a hours day.
Europe is full of leaders, full of men who PROFOUND
learned formulas th make good business for book SELL
Europe is full of men who have their groups of
followers who dote formulas. Pick any six of the
best known leaders and you get six methods of
working class action it is called. You cannot by any
possibility get out of those six less than five methods
for not more than two out of six could agree.
Take Shaw, Henderson, Macdonald Showden, Lans-
bury Smile. Could you get them to agree the de-
tails of League of Nations? Could you get them to
agree what ought to be the status of industry today
agree on how to boil eggs!
Even among the straight trade union leaders there is
small agreement Take Wilson, Bowerman, Thorne, Ap-
pleton Clyncs, Thomas There is agreement among
these men, because they in contact with the
hard facts of real fe-they have be- But even among
them there is not the eyesinge kind of work that
Americans know. And the minute they get away from
the hard fact side of lfewhch not all of them do
they, too scatter fire.
1t should be said that like Appleton Of which
there few stay close to earth and precious little
time side slipping in the Clouds It's the clouds stuff that
intoxcates!
The world today needs work. 1t needs straiehtfor-
ward effort 1t needs strong teamwork If the state of
things in England and France proves anything it proves
that there's only place to do constructive teamwork
Leaders here mostly, chasing formulas. Men who
might be towers of strength the present trying time
weaving words together
Formula, formula, formula-whos got the latest form
ua? Was the chicken first, was it the egg?
Here are some facts about England:
Demobilization is going on.
Factories are being converted to peace time work.
They may not hold all the men who return from the
'front.'
Unemployment is in prospect for many.
Anarchy regns no further away than the war was a
few weeks ago.
British housing is 100000 homes in arrears of its nor
NAL inadequate supply
Raw materials not at hand yet and they must be
imported. :
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1919-03-01

What are the leaders doing? Some are working fur
iousy at these problems The trade unionists who think
and act in terms of definite work and machinery
actually thinking in terms of today and todays vast
problems. The politicians plotting everything out in
nice theories, pretty platitudes and resonant formulas
What the result? The result is that the big voice in
the settling of the practical problems will be the voice
Of the business masters and the voice of the money
schemers and the voice of the proeers and OF the old
line politicians who allow themselves to get very
far away from the thing of the moment They are will
ing that labor leaders should dream about
prefer it, in fact. =. 49,, -" 80
If there progress to be made from labors point of
view these countries here will be because there
arc enough labor leaders in the trade union ranks who
stick to facts and work out practical problems in
stead of doing trick stunts in the air. There are some
of these They aren't the flashy kind. They don't
make a great many wonderful speeches. They don't
fre the working class with revolt but they do get busy
with such problems hours of work, wages conditions,
administration of industry, margin of profit and unem-
ployment.'
While the Russian Trotzkys were shouting mo annex
ations and no indemntie the Germans stepped in and
wrote the treaty of BrestLitovs, treaty oberated
only by the allies who stuck to their guns If President
Wilson and Lloyd-G George were like the Snowdens and
MacDonads the imperalists would smash the league of
nations into cooked hat.
Utopia is probably great place-but we haven't ar
rived. We are not anywhere near it. We're in hard
old world full of work and facts This hard old world
is fuller of work than and there more facts
in itespecialy more ugly and nasty facts We are all
gummed up with the of war. It's more important
important to get food than it is to rubber at the
rainbow. It's important to get on clean clothes
than is to know all about the theory of surplus value
Misunderstanding the American worker-has got
right at home the stuff of salvation. America has got
to work her future out of the brains and materials of
America in the conditions that exist in America. This
is denial of international relationship and harmony,
but it is flat assertion that shall get ahead properly
only apply ourselves to the facts and materials at
home, minus dogma, minus formula minus bunk.
You dope out the theory of baseball all alone in
+r1r
your eye the ball!
This is criticism of Europe. We can't run their
game for them. But neither Americans find any
mystic symbol here by which to reach the golden city,
