LABOR's NEXT MOVE.
From the Minneapolis Journal

>.e (From the Minneapolis Journal.) VITA
The report is that Mr. Gompers, in Forthcoming
magazine artcle will advocate increased production
as the next cardinal step for labor. We hope the
report is true, because the need for such a move
IS selfeyldent. Union labor by policy of decreased
production is simply raising prices all around and
bringing business and labor to the precipice
The Journal has always had respect for Samuel
Gompers. He has been the leader Of labor up
through twenty-five years when labor needed leader
ship and when labor was not treated well by many
employers If at times he turned to excess in
statement, he did no more than would any partisan
i on any question. This be allowed for, because
IN the main he has stood strong for the Country,
strong for patriotism, strong for justice he saw it.
The simple fact is the labor union is out-grown.
It is now working directly against the best inter-
ests Of members of the labor union, and far-seeing
members of the unions waking up to the fact
that they have been the catspaw for the last few
years without realizing it. UP -.
They have been used to protect some sluggard
who does half the amount of work and half
skillfuly at twice the pay he should receive, and
the really skilled workman has not had the money
ne would have received individual worker.
Workers all over the country in higher classes of
work have not organized and they receive wages
based on their individual ability They do not need
The system is outgrown 1t had it's place and it
served its time. The new union will be of the
employees in each establishment in friendly COM
petitiye rivalry for wages records made.

Where one il weak, he goes, and strong one
takes his place at higher wage. s{s 5$
vi That is the way business has been developed in
this country and the way individuals have reached
the top, because their individuality could haye play,
and they could receive their proper reward. NJ
We hope it is true that Mr.. Gompers will come
out for good days work With that in vogue
troubles would disappear and the un-American
banners would disappear from the streets.
People have grown tired Of the tyranny Of unions.
It surpasses the tyranny Of the old bosses

The best explanation Of the gov
ernment's pension plan Is that it h
. compulsory insurance for the
men. according to Colonel Harry
Il. Jordan. commandant Of the Rock
Island arsenal.
The plan seams to be greatly
misunderstood, particularly among
the men who are concerned. Opin-
ion is current that the part deduct
ed monthly from the individuals
nay is lost to him entirely, unless
he should survive at the age Of S.
or 70 and be retired on the pen
sion list. Colonel Jordan states
that . complete record OF all
amounts deducted from each per
sons salary will be kept, and at
any time that person decides to
seek employment elsewhere 1t Will
be refunded in whole to him. The
pension law has been interpreted
to include only mechanics and
members Of the clerical force, to
the exclusion of day laborers. A
ruling on this is being sought from
Washington.
First Deduction in August.
The first deduction from arsenal
pay envelopes will be made on the
last pay day next month. The
amount to be taken out will be ~
per cent. The law provides fol
this deduction from each pay dur
ing the month, but the arsenal has
sought permission to take the whole
amount from the largest pay Of the
month.
