PrOfteers Watch Out!
Attorney General Palmer
Declares Unrelenting CD
War

Chicago.-In an address to a H. G.
of L. conference, Attorney General
Palmer declared unrelenting war on
profiteering.
I'm every line of trade he said,
there are selfish and greedy men who
have taken advantage of after-war
conditions to add to their prices and
profits. Such men are the profiteers
and / propose to devote all the power
at my command to root them out and
expose them to public scorn, and, if
necessary, to public prisons. The pro-
iteer is worse than unpatriotic, he is
criminal"
The attorney general was as vigor-
Gus as he was several months ago
when he opened war on high prices
Il am not worried over hurting the
retail Dealers" he said. "They have
had their harvest time and now the
people are to get a look-in.
Merchants are shouting buy now,
my advice is, do not buy now. Wait
for lower prices. When demand is
lessened the supply is increased and
prices must inevitably fall"

Washington.-No nationwide strike
of railroad employe, either of trans
portation or shopmen, is in sight or
even under consideration.
The sensational stories sent broad
cast last week were to infame mem
bers of the United States senate
against labor so as to influence the
passage of the Cummins bill with it's
anti-strike clauses.
No more subtle publicity has been
used in securing legislation than that
which forced the Cummins bill through
the senate.
In order to hoodwink labor and the
public the word had been sent forth
that the financial interests were
against the Cummins bill because it
provided for a government board to
run the railroads, which would be di-
vided into districts.
This subterfuge was to throw both
labor and the public off the track and
permit tie sliding through of the bill
without SO much opposition.
A Clever Ruse
at was cleverly DONE" is the com
ment going about Washington.
But the stories of nationwide
strike are being bitterly resented by
the labor officials, who fear that it
might cause trouble that otherwise
would have been avoided.
All the unions of the railway en-
ployes' department and the brother
hoods have requests for increased
wages before the director general
The Maintenance of Way and Railroad
Clerks Unions are preparing to sub
nit requests for increases. The tel
egraphers have just concluded pre-
senting their demands. The argu-
ment used is that the president re-
quested the shopmen and brotherhoods
to withdraw their requests for higher
wages as the cost of living would be
reduced This has not been done, the
union officials say. In fact, the shop
men have put the situation squarely
UP to Director General Hines with the
request that he give an answer as
soon as possible whether he intends
to grant the advances asked.
Should the director general refuse
to grant any increases in wages then
the shopmen and brotherhoods will
hold conference to consider making
a concerted demand for better wages
and conditions. In that case the ques-
/ ton of nationwide strike would be
considered. But at the present time

FULL OF FIGHT.
Steel Men Will Stick Till
AutOcracy in Industry
Ends

.Washington.-Steel strikers are full
of fight and as determined as ever to
end autocracy in this industry was
the report made at joint meeting
in this city of the national steel strike
committee and executives and repre-
sentatives of the two-score interna-
tional unions involved The confer
ence pledged its faith in Chairman
Fitzpatrick and associate members of
the strike committee.
1t was stated that $4,000 are on
strike and production in many in
stances has dropped to 20 and 80 per
cent, while other mills are completely
tied up. In some districts, mills are
operating and steel of certain grade
is being produced, but there is more
smoke than steel.
The steel trusts autocracy has de-
moralized this industry, and it is stat
ed that even if the strike was declar-
ed off now no one could give fair
estimate of the time necessary to place
the industry on normal basis. One
Youngstown, Ohio, clergyman was
quoted that 5000 Roumanians in that
city have returned to Europe and the
same condition prevails elsewhere.
With the opening of spring this move
ment will increase as strikers will
get off the strike rolls to accept other
employments that will present them
selves.
The strike committee reported that
the commissary system is now per-
fected and with financial aid being
given the strike by organized workers
throughout the country it will be i'm
possible to starve the strikers.

has been secured, it is not likely that
the right to cease work will be exer-
cised by sufficient numbers or the
right to cease operating industrial
plants will be carried to such an ex-
tent as seriously to affect the well
fare of the rest of the people"
Secretary Wilson urges the re-es-
tablishment of the working conditions
service and the United States train
ing service, both of which were dis
continued with the end of the war.
The working conditions service had
set up machinery for investigation
working conditions and where advis-
able recommended standards for their
improvement. The training service
provided educational training for the
workers. The secretary stated that
100000 of the 100000 wage earn
ers now employed in American fac
tories have no education suited to
their needs.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
FIRST.
Then Industrial Peace, Says
Labor Secretary Wilson

Washington in industry
cannot be maintained unless there IS
first recognized the right of collect
i've bargaining" said Secretary of
Labor Wilson in his annual report.
The remedy for industrial discord,
the secretary finds, is in mutual coun
sci. "But this is not possible" he
said, "unless there is first recognized
the right of collective bargaining. II
the past this right has been conceded
by some employers, but vigorously
combated by others. The public inter-
est demands that it be universally rec
ognized for the primary interest of
the public is in peace.
"The denial of organization is de-
NAL of the only means Of peaceable
settlement that wage earners have.
"The right of any man to cease
working for another for any reason
that is sufficient to himself is the
basic element of human liberty. The
right of any person to refuse to OPP
crate his plant at any time he desires
to do so is the exercise of a property
right guaranteed by the constitution.
1t does not follow that because these
rights exist it is necessary to exer-
else them. They must nevertheless
be safeguarded. Having done that
and having devised the machinery By
which justice can be secured and by
which everybody at interest has the
opportunity of knowing that justice
