Wednesday, January /, 1919.
The Council was called to order
at the usual time by President
Gulley.
The Trades Council, having invited
the membership Of the several
trades unions in the city to meet
with it a larger hall was necessary
and the Red Mems Hall was secur-
ed for the occasion.
Members of nearly all the unions
were in attendance and large
meeting was the result.
There were present President
Short and ex-President Marsh of
the Washington State Federation Of
Labor, which added zest to the meet
ing.
Bro. Short addressed the meeting
briefly, calling special attention to
conditions existing in California
growing out of the Mooney case
and then discussed the subject of
reconstruction. He said the nation
had entered the war in a state of
unpreparedness and had made good"
in helping to destroy autrocracy,
but was now confronted by as ser
ious a problem in the reconstruction
made necessary by changed condi-
tions. This new problem would tax
the deepest thought of the greatest
minds in the country and its solu-
ton would require all the wisdom
and experience of the people. Re-
lating to the proposed strike in de-
fense of Mooney and his co-defend-
ants he said it was ill-advised.
1t lacked organization as to its
national significance. If there should
be a strike it should be confined
to the State of California where
the trouble lay. Industrially and
California was so strong
ly organized by the corporation en-
ployers Of labor that united effort
must be put forth to crush that op-
position to the welfare of the work
ers. California was the offender
and to California should be applied
the drastic remedy implied by a
general strike. If a nationwide
strike were necessary there must
needs be nationwide preparation for
it if success in the use of this last
weapon of labors defense be made
successful.
Bro Short warned against the

party, feeling that the ultimate aim

Democratic Management and Legal
Dismissal Wage Urged at Joint
Meeting of American Labor Leg
islatiOn and American Economic
Associations.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 27.-Se-
curing the initiative of workmen,
with share in the management
of industry, and decreasing the cost
Of labor turnover to employers
while affording economic security to
the workers by a legal dismissal
wage, were measures of labor re-
construction advanced by Robert B.
Wolf of the Emergency Fleet Cor
poration and Prof. A. Ross of the
University of Wisconsin at the ses-
sion Of the American Association for
Labor Legislation held jointly with
the American Economic Association
this afternoon at the jefferson
Hotel. The meeting, at which Prof.
Irving Fisher Of Yale presided, was
devoted to the psychology of labor
unrest.
"The present labor unrest" de-
clared Mr. Wolf, "is a natural re-
suit of diverting the creative in
stincts of the workman from con-
structive into destructive channels.
The present form of most of our
industrial organizations is response
BILE for this state of affairs The
remedy lies in making our indus
trial organizations democratic so
that the workman will have a voice
in the determination of working con-
ditions."
'Insecurity-The Workers Tragedy"
The tragedy in the situation of
the wage Garner in the modern in
dustrial organization, according to
Prof. Ross, has been his insecurity
"The practice of American indus
trial employers" he said, "is really
amazing in it's lack of consideration
for the worker who is found to be
superfluous. The average employer
seems to give himself not the slight
est concern as to what is to become |
of the worker let out through no
fault of his own. Here are real |
tragedies, hundreds, nay thousands,
of them year in our larger cen |
ters. Imagine a law which would |
entitle the dismissed employee after
a certain brief trial term, of say a
to days dismissal wage for
every twenty days in service. Up |
to certain point, the longer he
made good in his place the more Sc
cure he would feel for the more it
would cost his employer to turn
him off without fault on his part
"How would the legal dismissal
wage affect employers? On all
hands it is agreed" he declared,
that the amount of labor turnover
in American industries is scandalous.
know of an industry employing
$4,000 men which not long ago hired
and fired at least that many men
a year. Few employers have any
of what they lose by such
a turnover. The obligation to pay
a dismissal wage would give such
employers a motive to make their
practice conform to that of those
humane employers who
have brought their annual turnover

SPORT SITUATION
IS CLEARING UP

Richmond's sport situation has a
than It has had any time this winter.
After the refusal of the owners of
Boulevard fieid to let the Richmond
Sports association to have the rounds
tor next year, they attempted to get
the fair grounds for this purpose.
The officers OF the fair association
heve refused this request. saying IT
would not he a business proposition.
though they were Impressed with the
possibilities Of the association. This
means that the owners OF Boulevard
nead will 90 ahead and book games
for next year to be played on their
grounds. though the Sports associa
ton will not 60 out Of existence.
They are trying TO get basketball
games here this winter and will try
to have a track meet in the summer
or early spring.
But the Richmond Exhibition COM
pany will have some of the biggest
games here that have ever been
and Lee, v. r. i. and other schools
are on the list for gridiron battles
in Richmond. The public will I'M
doubleday benefit from this arrange
ment, and pigskin followers will have
to journey to the field oftener than
they have heretofore to see regular
big time games.
The fair grounds offers a good
place to see games. and will seat
more people than Boulevard field.
but the great difiiculty OF the grounds
- that the street cars stop this side
OF the railroad, and fans would have
to climb over the bridge, "a thing
which is not welcomed during fair
time. Another disadvantage Is that
the fence around the race track
would have to be moved back. the
judges stand and two platforms re-
mnved. a. hurdle with a water haz-
x,lrd taken out. all OF which would
have to re put b sck after tho season
closes. This would entail considerable
expense. and would hardly pay the
association until 1t gets on its feet.
But they will ont give up their mis-
sion, and hope at some future date
to bring games here on their own
hook.
