HE'S AGIN 1T.
7. T. u. Head Opposes Increase in
His Own Salary.

The l. 7. u. has a president who
doesn't believe he should have an in
crease in salary, proposition to come
before the locals on referendum. His
letter is se1f-explanatory:
ITO the Members of the International
Typographical Union:
Ladies and Gentlemen: There will
shortly be submitted to the referendum
a proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton passed by the Albany convention
increasing the salaries of the president
and secretary-treasurer from $4,000
per annum to $4,000 per annum. As
one of the two men directly benefting
by this proposed amendment, | believe
it my duty to express myself thereon.
Until quite recently the salaries of
the president and secretary-treasurer
were $500 per annum, which by refer
endum was increased 81, 500 per annum,
making the salaries $4,000. The new
proposition would require an increase
of 100 per cent. upon the salary of
$1,000, which in turn had already been
increased approximately so per cent
No such rate of increase has been Sc
cured by any of the members who
necessarily must foot the bills
THE officers report shows that the
average per capita earnings of the MEM
bership amount to $1,000 per annum
and until the time arrives that the aver
age earnings are substantially increased
further enhancement of official salaries
NAV we'll be deferred.
81 recommend the defeat of the pro-
posed amendment increasing the salaries
of the president and secretary-treas-
urer.
'Fraterna11y yours,
John McPARLAND."..

RETIRED POLITICIANS.
More Than rs Prominent Oppon
ents to Labor Get K. o.

More than Is men who opposed labor
and, of course, supported the Esch-
Cummins bill, have been retired from
public life, they having been eliminated
in the recent primaries. In defeating
these men labor has ignored party
lines, Democrats and Republicans were
treated alike, but the majority were of
the latter faith. Here are a few of
them:
John J. Esch, chairman of the for
eign commerce committee which framed
the railroad bill; E L. Hamilton of
Michigan, vice chairman; Arthur G.
Dewalt of Pennsylvania, member of the
committee; A. J. Vo1stead of Minneso-
ia; D. T. Morgan of Oklahoma /; Gil
bert A. Currie of Michigan; H. J.

vania Niels Juul Of, Illinois; Senator
Howe Smith of Georgia; Senator
Thomas of Colorado, while Senator
Sherman of Illinois, took to the high
grass and refused to stand for the NOM

AMERICAN WAGE FARMERS FACE
THE, MENACE OF CHINESE LABOR

eff the people of the country elect
members to the next Congress as re-
dictionary as in the present, raising the
ban on Chinese immigration will be one
of the first measures to be taken up if
it is not considered in the short session
of this Congress that begins the first
Monday in December.
Another issue of great moment to
the workers of the country is convict
labor. Where the laws permit the send
ing of 'prison-made goods from one
state into another state which prohibits
their sale on the market, it is unjust
to the people of the latter.
ITO relieve this most undesirable
condition the bill known as H. R. 10o15
was endorsed by the american Fedora
ton of Labor. 1t provides that the
products of prison labor transported
into any state or territory for ues or
sale shall be subject to the operations
and effects of the laws of such state or
territory to the same extent and in the
been produced in such state or terri
tory.
Under present conditions state may
prohibit the sale of prison made goods
in order to prevent their competing with
free labor But this can be made in
operative by another state dumping its
prison-made products into such state,
thereby destroying the effect of its
remedial legislation. 1t is to eliminate
this abuse that Congress has been urged
to pass the bill
Every state and city central body and
local union in the United States should
make it duty to urge the congressman
in their respective states and districts
to vote to enact this most meritorious
and necessary protection to free labor.

The price of shoes is matter of ma
ter1al markets beyond our control We
believe these material markets are fair
ly equal to all manufacturers Makers
of leather or other shoe materials or
machinery are not generally disposed to
undersell to large concerns because if
they do that they would destroy the
smaller concerns and thus narrow their
own market. For these reasons the
claim of any extravagant bargain CIV
ing must have very little basis.
There is much popular misconception
as to labor cost. Today the labor cost
of pair of shoes runs from so cents
to $1.2O, according to grade and quality
of the shoe. Granted that non-union
shoe factories can operate at a lower
labor cost than union shoe factories,
that difference cannot be large enough
to seriously affect the value given to
the consumer, especially as the nom
union concern usually retains such with
held labor cost to swell It's own profits.
No matter what any large non-union
concern may extravagantly claim, there
are other manufacturers, and whole
salers and retailers who can give sub
stantially equal or better values in
reason why any union man or woman
Sl'S IhNil pau oilcSN " hoi-
union shoes and concerns and betray
the labor cause in SO doing.
Even if there were a saving to be
made, which we deny is possible to any
material extent, such patronage of nom
union shoes would be unsound from
union labor point of view, because such
principle of spending the wages of labor
would lead in the last analysis to the
purchase of sweat shop goods in every
line of merchandise and to patronage of
the lowest wage in every calling.
There is no line of reasoning by
which men and women of labor can
justify the purchase of shoes that do
not bear the Union Stamp, nor can the
labor unions afford to allow large nom
union shoe concerns to haunt their
non-unionism in the face of the organ
lied labor movement.
We respectfully suggest that this is
fit subject to be taken up by central
labor bodies and local unions wherever
such non-union shoe stores or f1amboy-
ant advertisements may appear, to the
end that Organized Labor may, as usual

PORTAGE TEAM
DOWNS LAVALLE
Barnett's Last Season Sluggers
Make Poor Showing Against
Locals 1873

Manager Dempsey's baseball aggre-
cation defeated La Vale at La Vale
Sunday in slow game on water
soaked diamond that rendered fast,
snappy ball impossible, by a very
much jug-handled score of II to 4.
Portage took the lead from the start
and at no time during the game was
the final result in doubt. The first
scores in the game were made in the
third inning, Portage getting two
runs and La Vale one. The home
team failed to increase their count I'm.
til the sixth when they added 2 runs.
Portage made one in the 7th, three in
the eighth and four in the last. In
the last inning La Vale was given a
goose-egg but added three in the
eighth.
The lineup for both teams follow:
Portage-Stegman, IS; Jeans, 2b;
Schwanz, 3b; Bachman, RI; Witt, 1b;
Rueckert, If; Taylor, c; Ref, CT;
Peterson, p.
La Vale Bailey, SIS; Barnett, 2b;
Wiedenbeck, c; Berigan, 1b; Borch-
ers, 3b; Hyslop, IF; Glumske, If;
Hanisch, CT; Hoven, D.
doc" Barnett of La Vale and Sam
Peterson for Portage were the long
hitters in Sundays game.
Rattle a Cow
AS an incentive to attendance the
La Vale management went into the
cattle business for the day. A hun
dred dollar COW was ratified, tickets
being sold at 81 each. The old canal
town took very nearly everything in
sight but the cow, and Frank r
Schmidt, the butcher, was after that
but it seems luck was against him.
Fine Highway
Those who made the trip by auto
are all of one mind regarding the de-
lightful drive afforded by state trunk
highway No. 33 from Baraboo to La
Vale.
