STRIKE BULLETIN

SAN FRANCISCO. MAY 10. 1920
Reports to the general strike com
mittee are that the scabs employed
IN the shlpyards are leaving at a
rapid rate. 300 of the scabs failed
to show up at the Union Iron Works
last Monday. More than 100 are
quitting each day at this plant. q
Conditions in general at the Union
Iron Works are reported to be dis
organized. There are so few me-
chanics at this plant, that the man.
agement is forced to lay off labor
ers it has been to great expense and
trouble to get.
The bay district shipbuilders are
getting so little work from the drift
ers and incompentents they have en-
pioyed, that they are becoming fran
tic. They are reducing wages and
trying to speed up work. Speeding
up work naturally hurts the scabs'
feelings, for they did not hire out as
strlkebreakers with the intention of
working. The result is that MANY
of them leave the shipyards at the
first indication that they are expect
ed to work. 1t was reported that
20 of these "indignants" left the
Union Iron Works in a BODY.
The scabs are leaving at as rapid
rate from the other wards. A
falling off of from 40 to so per cent
Of the scabs who cross the ferry
to the Union Construction Company
was reported.
TO Preserve the Rotten
1t is reported that at the advice
Of the shipbuilders the scabs are
armlng themselves with red pepper.
Pepper was first used in the Middle
Ages to preserve old, decaying meat.
1t is being used by the scabs in the
historic sense: ITO preserve that
which is rancid and rotten"

To Raise $4,000

PALMER MAKES
PETIFUL FAILURE
(By Charles NJ. Kelley)

Were it not for the fact that the
American people are in a very large
measure dominated still by war
psychology, they would laugh Attor-
ney General Palmer out of public
life. Never before has the saving
sense of humor been so sadly lack
ing in a nation for which it was
once somewhat famous. Were the
situation otherwise, the absurdity of
Mr.. Palmer's May day pilot" would
have been Immediately realized and
treated accordingly.
1t is not the fault of the Depart
ment of Justice that the day came
and passed without a single I'M
toward incident. Mr. Palmer and
his army of secret agents and pro-
vocateurs did everything in their
power to inflame the passions of the
criminal element and fan the latent
fires of discomfort. If the truth
were. known, it probably would be
definitely established that the pur-
pose of his terrorist warning was to
dlscredit all meetings of workers and
to bring down upon them the wrath
of that portion of the public which
has not yet realized the insincerity
of this pretender
By constantly holding up to the
public the menace of revolution,
which has no existence in fact, the
Attorney General doubtless hopes to
divert attention from his ptiabe
failure to reduce the cost of living.
He solemnly promised the people
more than seven months ago that
he intended setting his agents after
profiteers and assured them that
there would be immediate and de-
cisive reductions in living costs.
But there have been no reduc-
tons. The situation has constantly
become worse. Food, clothing and
shelter, after six months of Pelmer-
ism are costing more, and predic-
lions are freely made that the gen
eral tendency is still upwards.
Naturally, with presidential
boom on his hands, all this is en-
barrassing to Mr.. Palmer. He can
point to the falling of a half dozen
profiteers-small fry retailers who
were stealing pennies-but those who
are stealing millions have been per-
mitted to go Scot-free Instead of
Interference from Mr.. Palmer, these
wholesale profiteers have had CO.
operation and connivance from the
Department of Justice.
Sooner or later the people will be-
gin laughing at Mr.. Palmer, and
then he win more or less gracefully
retire to that oblivion which has
long been awaiting him.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1920-05-21
NEVER WAS A HOG THAT
DID NOT WANT MORE

Railway managers justify the
starvation wages paid workers by
saying that an increase would be re-
Elected in higher cost for food,
shelter and clothing. They have
experts at Washington preparing
schedules for rates increases that
will net more than a billion dollars
per year, not one penny of which is
for wages for toilers. If the rail-
road labor board grants the demands
of the workers for wage adjust
ments, the railroads will return with
new schedules for another gigantic
increase.
That an increase of wages will
but slightly affect commodity costs
was proven recently by w. S. Car
ter, president of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men, in his presentation of the de-
mands of his organization for decent
treatment.
He offered statistics proving that
if the wages of every railroad work
er were doubled it would add but
eighty cents to the value of every
hundred dollars worth of merchan-
ulSe JTdHSpOTIeu.
But if the railroads are forced to
yield ten, fifteen or twenty per cent
increases they will demand 25 to so
per cent rate increases, and the diff
ference between what they receive
and what they pay will help out in
taking care of grating contracting
companies that fatten up on the rail-
roads.
When coal miners were given an
increase of forty cents per ton for
mining coal the operator immedi-
ately increased the price two dollars
per ton. This is one reason why the
high cost of living constantly be-
comes higher. There is a shameless
disparity between actual costs and
selling price, and when employers
are grudgingly compelled to yield
they make the public pay the bill
three to five times over
All of which is an argument for
government ownership and demo-
cratic operation of the railroads.
There will be no relief from bad
conditions while gamblers and specu-
lators and profiteers are in control
of transportation.

THE SALES TAX
STRIKES SNAG

Privilege and profiteers propose
Legislation to congress, but it occa-
sionally happens that a protest from
an outraged people is the determin-
ing factor when a vote is taken.
Wall Streets handy men in the ma
tionaL legislature were all ready to
relieve exploiters from taxation and
transfer it to the bent backs of the
people in the curse of "sales tax"
but the roar of indignation that
swept over the country has reached
Washington and for the time being,
at least, the project has been aban-
doned.
A majority of members of con-
gress have many sins for which
they will be required to answer and
they are unwilling to add to their
offending. They are not moved
by any considerations involving the
welfare of the people, and were the
congressional elections we'll out of
the way it is conceivable that the
ales tax woufd slip through the
Legislative machine with the same
easy facility that marked the prog
ress of the transportation iniquity
and other measure that are in the
interest of Wall Street.
But congressman are now face to
face with outraeedA constituencies
and they are little concerned about
their fate. Many of them are
marked for slaughter, but others
whose crimes are many are hope
full that they may be able to weather
the storm if they lay little low
until after the election.
In caucus the Republican mem
bers of the House went on record as
opposed to the enactment of the
sales tax, but this decision was
reached only after a stormy session
that frequently threatened to bring
about a disorderly adjournment. The
party has been committed to tax
propositions which will not lay 80
heavily upon the people.
Democratic leaders had previously
declared their opposition to the
proposition, SO it may be assumed
that unless some extraordinary pres
sure is brought to bear upon con-
gress by the profiteers this menace
has been averted-until after cleo
ton. If it should happen that the
people are negligent of their interests
and send to congress a majority
loyal to privilege and reaction, the
scheme doubtless will be revived with
greater chances of success.
Only by standing vigilantly on
guard and valiantly defending their
interests will the American people be
safe. The profiteers are determined
to put over their program, and a
temporary setback on one plank
will not seriously affect their plan.
