Alleged Democracy
Has Same Old Joker

Philadelphia-A correspondent for
the Philadelphia Public Ledger writes
that he has been permitted to pub
hsh the details of report on in
dustrial democracy made by COM
mittee of 10 business men who rep
resent large industries in this coun-
try. The correspondent says: 81 have
given these brief excerpts to show
with what care the committee went
about its work, for these men are not
experimenting with but preparing for
the future"
The plan provides that employers
shall invite their employees to select
representatives from their own num-
Der. Other provisions call for The
secret election Of these representa-
tives who will take up with employers
wages, working conditions and the adj
justment of grievances, with frequent
conferences for the consideration of
constructive subjects of mutual inter-
est. Where these conferences fail 70
adjust a controversy prompt ap-
peal may be made to the chief execu-
tive of the company.
The plan reads fine until the sec
ton on qualification for voters and
representatives is reached, when this
ancient joker appears:
"A careful study should be made to
determine, in view Of local conditions,
whether there should be reasonable
limitations of the privilege of voting
and of eligibility for election as rep
resentative."
The Public Ledger correspondent
acknowledges that "many industrial
representation plans have contained
jokers," but he insists that this latest
effort provides for about real an
industrial democracy as is possible at
this time in American industry"
Trade unionists show that this al
legged industrial democracy" permits
the employer to say who shall vote
and who shall be eligible for the Of
flee of representative. Then, with
every worker disqualified who may
have nerve enough to stand for right,
the boss will establish his paternal-
ism, which he labels democracy"

port that there was more poultry,

Packers "UnSCrambedI" :"

Washington - Through an under
standing with Attorney Genl Palmer
the "big five" Chicago meat packers
have agreed to sell their holdings in
all industries except meat and dairy
products A federal court will super
wise the packers disposal of stock
yards, railroads and terminals and
cold storage warehouses except for
their own meat products, and to dis
associate themselves from all unre-
lated lines, such as groceries, fish and
and vegetables. The governments
suit to dissolve the packers trust will
not be pressed
Officials connected with the depart
ment of justice predict a drop in
fOodstuff prices as a result of this
agreement. AS usual, there are skep-
tics. They show that after the Stan
dard oil trust was smashed by the
United States supreme court and dis
solved into numerous state organiza-
tions several years ago, dividends of
the oil companies increased. The
skeptics are also asking who will buy
the packers interests. Their stock
yards alone have a value of $45,000,-
900. Under the terms of the settle
ment the packers cannot have even
an indirect connection with these
properties.

Men Stand Firm
MILL MEN SPARE NO EFFORTS
TO RUN PLANTS
Imported Strike Breakers and Scabs
Becoming Disguised With Con-
ditiOns Inside Stockades and
Many Are Leaving

Pittsburgh - Secretary Henry w.
Raisse reports the Cleveland fight
going along excellently. He says:
The conditions are unchanged here
and the men standing out as strong
as ever. The various plants are so
hard up for men that they are offer
ing all sorts of inducements to get the
men back; but there seems to be no
desire on the part of the men to let
up in the fight. They all say they
will not go back to work until ordered
to return by the National Committee.
zone of the rumors current here is
that the Mckinney Company is Of
fering the men the right to belong to
the union, the eight-hour day, no dis
elimination in taking them back and
a 20 per cent increase in wages-and,
besides this, they are willing to give
any further concessions which the
Trust will give if a settlement is made
with that outfit.
"The red mill managers of the
American Steel & Wire Company are
making extra strenuous efforts to get
their old men to return to work.
These mills are closed down tight but
| heard today that one of the men in
the American plant of this concern
has been reached and is going around
from house to house trying to pre-
vail upon the skilled men to return
to work.
"The imported strike breakers are
mostly herded, fed and housed inside
the mills where we can't get in touch
with them so we haven't made much
effort to do any organizing among
them. Many of them are coming out
in small numbers but, in every case,
SO far as | know, they Immediately
leave the city. 1t looks as if the
plants would have to begin all over
again their efforts to rake in more
strike breakers. So many of the first
crop have left and the rest are
dwindling so steadily that there soon
will be only a corporal's guard left. "
Reports continue to come in about
defective steel turned out. Secretary
j. A. Norrington writes from New
Castle: "I was at Elwood City on
Friday morning and found that on
the 10th "a cars of tube were switched
out of the Shelby plant; 22 car loads
of these came back rejected by in
spectors - all had defective seams.
The men at Elwood are real stickers.
the weak kneed have been elimina-
ted and there is no sort of doubt about
the staying power of those lads now
out there. At New Castle we had a
fine meeting last night. We told
them about the National Committee s
vote to go on with the fight and they
voted unanimously to stick right
through.

Fire UnquenChed
RELEASED FROM JAIL UNIONIST
is DEFIANT
Chas. DOld, President Musical Instru-
ment Workers, Issues Statement
After Thirty Days ImprisOn-
ment For Contempt

Chicago-Released from Jail after
serving 30-days' sentence for vio-
lating labor injunction, Chas. Dold,
president of the Piano, Organ and
Musical Instrument Workers union,
is as defiant as ever in his opposition
to injunction judges.
When Dold was released he imme-
diately issued this statement to the
trade union movement:
perhaps the employers desire for
vengeance has been satisfied. Perhaps
not, but the determination Of the un-
dersigned to secure living wages,
reasonable hours of work and sanitary
factory conditions for the workers of
the piano, organ and musical instru-
men industry has not been broken
and will not be broken until life itself
| has ended all.
"This effort to secure for the work
ers of our calling humane living con-
ditions, degree of independence, TO
secure for them life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, guaranteed
every American citizen under the con-
stitution, will not terminate, despite
anything the organized employers
may do. 1t will go on and on until
the workers shall have finally
triumphed and justice done them.
Every effort of the employer to
intimidate, with the assistance of a
subversive Judiciary, will tend to
further solidify the workers, make
them more determined and more ag-
gressive. l believe / voice the senti-
ment of the workers when l sound this
note of warning to the employer. Jail
or no Jail, the contest for freeing the
workers of the musical instrument
industry from chattel slavery will go
on and on, until unqualified justice
shall have been obtained.
"The Lyon & Healy strike, for
which the undersigned and five other
members of our organization were
penalized, was caused by the refusal
of the Lyon & Healy Co. to grant a
IS per cent increase in wages (the
wages ranging from 25 cents to 38
cents per hour); the further refusal
to employ members of any labor or
ganization. The firm found a con-
venient Judge, who, by the way, has
died since, to issue one of the most
drastic injunctions ever issued in la
Dor disputes in this or any other
country. This injunction, in plain
words, meant calling off the strike.
This, of course, we refused to do. We
were cited for contempt, and, as is
the practice in all injunction cases,
the judge is the prosecutor, judge
and executioner. Five of our men
were fined $500 each, and the under
signed $500 and 80 days in Jail.
"Thus was justice done in the Lyon
& Healy strike. AS stated before,
the vengeance of the employer may
have been satisfied The judges de-
cree at least has been fulfilled. The
fines have been paid and the Jail SEN
tence served, but if it is thought that
this has broken the spirit of the men,
the employers are greatly mistaken.
More vigorous, more determined will
the battle of the future be waged
against the Lyon & Healy Co., Jail or
no Jail. Until this firm is made to
understand that justice must be done
the workers, the contest will go on"

Claims Breach of Contract

Charles Schneider, former general
manager of the Independent Packing
Co., has brought suit against C. L.
Riley on Oct. II for the sale of 70
shares of Packing Company stock for
the sum of $1,75O. The petition states
that in November Schneider's resig-
nation was accepted, but that Riley
refused to accept and pay for the
stock. He therefore asks judgment
in the sum mentioned.

first George Fitzmaurice production.
ION with the Dnace," which is coming
TO the Washington and Gem Theaters

from the ranks of the Follies. Miss
Murray was a hit in the 1915 edition
of the Ziegfeld show. On the authority
of James Montgomery Flagg, she has
the worlds most cameo-like profile.
In addition to her rare beauty and
stage talents, Miss Murray is dancer
of extraordinary grace and ability.
She was q headliner in vaudeville for
several years She has lately been de-
voting her efforts to motion pictures
exclusively and has starred in ingenue
and straight dramatic roles.
