Disabled Veterans
Aided By UniOniSts

Washington-Tra unions are as
sisting the federal board of vocational
training in it's work of training $4,000
disabled veterans of the world war.
Some unions have set aside their rules
and laws and the eX-service men are
being trained for new vocations with
practical mechanics.
The railway employees department
of the A. F. of L., comprising machi-
nists, boiler makers, blacksmiths,
sheet metal workers, railway car men
and electricians, extends this privilege
to disabled men that are being trained
by the federal board. Such men are
not considered apprentices, but are
admitted to the shops for special
training irrespective of the number
of apprentices in the shop or on that
railway system. They receive 25
cents an hour, in addition to their
training pay from the federal board.
The International Brotherhood of
Electricians has supplemented this
action by opening their commercial
shops in like manner.
The Boot and Shoe Workers union
is also cooperating with the board
and the International Typographical
union has ruled that apprenticeship
regulations will not debar the dis
abled men from printing establish
ments that they "learn the job"
Machinists' union No. 68, San Fran
cisco, admits without cost, any man
trained as a machinist by the federal
board.
The board reports large registra-
tions in these trade schools, which
are operated by state boards that ap-
ply the federal boards educational
plan. The instructors are journey
men workers, skilled in the trades
they teach. The schools are being
equipped with everything needed in
the way of tools and appliances.

COOPERATION GROWS AMONG
WORKING PEOPLE
Plan Devised to Protect Wage Garner
From the PrOfiteers is Proving
Success and Growing Daily

Washington-Reports to A. F. of
L. headquarters indicate that the CO.
operative movement is interesting
trade unionists in every section of
the country.
This movement has been stimu-
lated by the appointment by Presi-
dent Gompers Of a committee on CO.
operation, under instructions of the
Baltimore convention, four years ago.
This committee still functions. 1t is
composed Of Geo. w. Perkins, presi-
dent Of the International Cigar Max
ers' union; VIM. D. Mahon, president
Amalgamated Street Car Men; John
H. Walker, president Illinois state
federation of labor; James w. Sulli-
van, New York Typographical union;
and Arthur E. Holder, former legis-
lative representative of the A. F. of
L., and now a member of the federal
board for vocational education.
These committeeman are veteran
trade unionists. They have been
earnest co-operators for years, and
know the pitfalls and allurements of
cooperation that is not founded on
correct principles.
This committee urges unionists to
accept the Rochdale principle of CO.
operation, and to ego slow" in their
preliminary moves.
The Rochdale plan provides for the
recognition of prevailing market
prices in selling goods. The surplus
is used for deduction of interest on
capital stock, for depreciation, for re-
serve, for education, and for a certain
percentage to be returned to the mem
bers of the society in proportion to
the amount of their purchases at the
store.
In the report of the reconstruction
committee, adopted by last years A.
F. Of L. convention, this reference is
made to cooperation:
"Trade unions secure fair wages.
Cooperation protects the wage Garner
from the profteer. Participation in
these cooperative agencies must of
necessity prepare the mass of the
people to participate more effectively
in the solution of the industrial, COM
mercial and political problems which
continually arise.

KIDDIES FACE DARK FUTURE

New York-Hopeless conditions and
a dark future for Europe's children
was painted by DR.. Livingston Far
rand, of the American Red Cross, on
his return trip abroad. \ He said the
most conservative estimate by the
Red Cross indicates that at least H.
100000 children in, Europe are father
less from war and they face the next
few years without hope of adequate
care, unless outside assistance is
given.
"When to these orphans" said DR..
Ferrand, "are added the millions of
other children undernourished and
under developed physically and men
tally, the dangerous situation is OBJ
vious. 1t is this generation, devital-
lied and neglected, upon which in a
few years the stability of Europe
must rest"

Lower PriCesComing
FORD ADMITS GOUGING HAS RE-
DUCED PRICES
Auto Manufacturer Starts Entering
Wedge-Others Will Follow His
Example and Cut Also

Detroit, Mich.-Henry Ford admits
profiteering by business men in his
announcement that prices for his
autos will be reduced to pre-war levels
and that wages will not be reduced.
While business men are claiming
that "the high cost of labor is re-
sponsible for present prices" the
"jitney" manufacturer rejects this
claim in the following statement:
"There is lull in general bust
ness; we are touched by the waiting
period that always precedes a reac-
ton; people in every walk of life are
waiting for prices to become lower.
They realize that it is an unwhole-
some, unnatural, unrighteous condl-
tion produced by the war. In every
line of activity there is a growing
idleness because the demand is not
there.
"Raw materials are being stored;
manufactured goods are being stored
because the volume of consumption
is growing less through the self
denial of the people, many of whom
could not afford to pay the high
prices; others who would not pay the
high prices because they felt the in
Justice of the situation. Manufacture
ing plants are being shut down all
over the country. Labor is being
thrown out of employment, yet the
cost of living has seen very little re-
duction.
"Our country is rich beyond meas
ure in natural resources, rich in all
material things that go to make a
great nation, and yet its progress is
being held virtually at standstlll
because of the greed of the profiteers.
"Now is the time to call halt on
war methods, war prices, war prof.
teering and war greed. 1t may be
necessary for everybody to stand a
little sacrifice, but it will be most
profitable after all, because the
sooner we get the business of the
country back to pre-war condition,
and the lives of our people become
more natural, progress, prosperity
and contentment will occupy the at
tention of the people,"

UniOniStS Are Alert

Charleston, w. Va. = Alert trade
unionists have exposed plot to legal
ize "railroading" to the penitentiary
anyone who incurs the i'll will OF
special interests in this state.
The scheme would change the law
so that jurors can be drawn from
counties other than that in which the
crime was committed, and to give the
state the right to ask for a greater
number of postponement of trials.
1t is claimed Judge Damron of the
Mingo county circuit court originated
the scheme and presented it to attor-
news for the coal interests. Then
Governor Cornwall inserted it in his
call for special session of the state
legislature.
In Judge Damron's jurisdiction
Baldwin-Feltz detectives recently at
tempted to shoot up Matewan, and
several of them lost their lives, as
did peaceful citizens. The thugs were
evicting miners from company houses
at the time.
The unionists show that if the state
is given unlimited postponements an
individual will be forced to repeatedly
bring his witnesses to court and that
he will eventually be bankrupt. The
plan to permit jurors to be drawn
from other counties would make it
impossible for an individual to be
tried by fellow citizens acquainted
with his character.

AMNESTY is FAVORED

-"There is insufficient rea-
son for continuing under punishment
a large class of prisoners who gave
offense during the war;" says the
Boston Post.
"The government should dispose of
these case without undue sentimental
ity and without indiscriminate Glenn
ency. Those surely should be freed
who were sentenced in war for
charges untenable in peace"
