MUST PAY CHILDREN'S TAX

Washington = Virginia employers
OF children under IA years of age
must pay the federal tax of 10 per
cent on their annual profits, despite
the more lenient provisions of Vir-
ginia child labor laws, which permit
l2-year-old children to work in can
neries when school is not in session.
The United States bureau of in
ternal revenue announces that the
state law affords no protection from
the federal tax and that the federal
government will not accept state en-
ployment certificates to establish age.
Employers are cautioned to keep on
file federal certificates for all children
on their pay rolls for the inspection
Of federal agents. The federal tax is
collectible, it is pointed out, where
ever children under IA years of age
are employed at any time or where
children between IA and 16 are per-
mitted to work after Z p. m.

SECOND OHIO STATE CONFERENCE
Meeting Held in Columbus Sunday July 25 Demonstrated Labor Active
in Its Nom Partisan Political Campaign

The second conference of Central
Bodies of Ohio, representative of the
United Mine Workers of Ohio, and
Executive Board of the Ohio State
Federation of Labor, was called to
order Sunday morning, July 25, at
10 o'clock in Carpenters Hall, Colum-
bus, Ohio, by President Moore with
all but one of the Federation's of
ficers present, SO Central Bodies rep
resented and representatives of all
subdistricts of miners answering the
roll call
President Moore addressed the dele
gates, explaining the reason for call
ing the second conference, and said
that the first business before the con-
ference, after the secretary had called
the roll and the minutes of the prev
ious meeting had been read, would be
the consideration of the report of the
Executive Board on the candidates
for Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
Attorney General, Judges of the Su-
preme Court and United States SEN
ator. The report on each candidate
was acted upon separately, every
delegate having an opportunity to
offer criticism and express himself,
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-07-30

and at the conclusion a motion was
made and carried unanimously to
adopt the report on candidates as a
whole.
At the afternoon session the reports
from all parts of the state showed
that there is a wonderful unanimity
in the different counties, judicial, SEN
atorial and congressional districts on
the part of labor. Many of the Cen
tral Bodies reported that ward and
precinct organizations are being per-
fected, literature distributed to the
workers and arrangements being
made to get the vote out at the
primary.
All delegates were urged to report
to their Central Bodies and see that
Labor puts forth herculean effort
to achieve success in it's non-partisan
political campaign at the coming
primaries.
Among the encouraging evidences
of the awakening of Labor was the
presence of delegates from number
of Central Bodies from various parts
of the state previously not repre-
sented by such Central Bodies.
Forward, Labor, Forward!

BRIBERY NO CRIME

Williamson, w. Va.-George R. c..
Wiles, member of the West Virginia
public service commission, has been
exonerated from an indictment by a
special grand jury which recently in
vestigated the murders at Matewan
when Baldwin -Feltz detectives at
tempted to oust miners from their
homes without due process of law.
Wiles was charged with offering
money to deputy sheriff to "inducc"
mine organizers to leave Mingo
county.
In quashing the indictment against
Wiles the court held that even if the
allegation could be proven this did
not constitute an offense against the
laws of West Virginia.

Kicking Backward
CANT STRIKE" LAW PINCHES
THE EMPLOYER
Controls the Production of Private
Industries But Unable to Place
Handouts on Labor

Topeka, Kan.-Employers in this
state are beginning to murmur
against Governor Aliens "can't-
strike law. The employers are regu-
lated under the law, but they were
willing to except this if labor could
be handcuffed. AS far as labor is
concerned the law is a failure, and
the employers see that if it is to be
enforced the state must inaugurate
an extensive jailbuilding system.
John S. Dean, Topeka lawyer and
president of the anti-trade union Kan
sas Employers association gives this
warning to Governor Allen that his
Legislation is doomed because it has
failed to control labor; and it must
not be used against the employers:
eff the law may require (as it
does) that private industry may
not cease production without per-
nit from the court of industrial rela-
tions, it will follow that the law may
forbid the farmer to reduce his pro-
duction or to cease production. A
little widening of the circle and this
court will be debating to the farmer
just how many acres of wheat, corn,
potatoes, etc, he shall cultivate and
also fix the price he must accept for
the same.
insofar as the Kansas industrial
court law undertakes to clothe the
state with general regulatory pewers
over private industries, and the liberty
OF the workers and partisans to ac-
cept or reject any schedule of wages
offered, it is unconstitutional, and the
most reactionary legislation of which
this generation furnishes any ex-
ample"

The dock workers have been urg-
ing their demand since last October
They show that dock workers at deep
sea ports are paid 20 cents an hour
more than they are for the same
kind of work. Their committees have
made eight trips to New York, Wash
ington and New Orleans in an effort
TO settle the question. Last June Of
ficers of the International Longshore-
mems association and a committee
representing the New York chamber
of commerce agreed to arbitrate the
issue. The New Workers then asked
the steamship managers if they would
accept this plan and were told eve
have nothing to arbitrate."
The dock workers then suspended
work and the governor, instead OF
using every moral force at his COM
mand against the companies, has
ordered out the troops

PACKERS IN CONTROL

Madison, Wis.-In discussing the
announcement that Armour & Co.
have reorganized with a capital stock
of $4O0,000,00O as against $2O,OO0,O0O
four years ago, the Capital Times
says:
Working men are being told to go
back to work and increase production.
Is any one so foolish as to think that
production makes any difference in
price in the packing industry? No.
The packing industry is powerful
enough to control production and
price.
And a department of justice, head
ed by Palmer, makes agreements with
this crowd of exploiters.

Labor's Activity
RESPONDING TO CALL OF NON
PARTISAN COMMITTEE
Men Should be Elected to Both Houses
Whicr Will Render Passage of
Obnoxious Laws Impossible

WASHINGTON - Trade unionsts are
acquiring new ideals and developing
new powers and activities as result
of the most intensive non-partlsan
campaign in the history of trade
unioniSm.
The call of the A. F. of l.. national
committee that labor awake to the
Importance of senatorial and congress
sional elections is proving effective.
In the senate it should be made I'M
possible, for instance, for that body
to again pass a law, as it did in the
Cummins railroad bill, making it a
crime for employees to suspend work.
If change is made in the senate no
bill providing for military conscrip-
ton in times of peace will b. ~assed
by jingoes who favor war WIN Mexico
and huge standing armies, and who
shield profiteers in their extortlon OF
the people. The same need for
changes exist in the house of repre-
SeuLdUlNco.
Workers now have it in their power
to elect congressman and senators
who are committed to the cause OF
those who produce rather than To
those who profit by the labor OF
others.
Defenders of special privilege are
astounded at the extent Of labor's
non-partisan movement and no longer
do they cry: "Gompers will fail to
deliver the labor vote" 1t has finally
dawned on reaction that no man can
deliver organized labor's vote; that
labor is non-partisan as regards
political parties, but intensely partl-
san as regards humanity.

Baton Rouge, Lathe state legis-
lature has passed the Durr mothers

husband is permanently invalided or
imprisoned is made beneficiary un-
der the bill, provided she is the
mother of at least one child under
16 years old and has a previous resi-
dence for at least one year in the
parish County, where the applica-
ton is made The maximum allow
ance to each applicant is $50 per

FOOD EXPORTS DOUBLE

Washington-The amount of food
that has been shipped from the
United States to foreign countries
has doubled in the last five years, &C
cording to the federal department of
agriculture. Many items showed a
much greater increase, condensed
milk, for instance, showing an in
crease of 1928 per cent.
"There need be no alarm as to the
ability of the United States to hold
its own in foreign trade in agricul-
tural products" says the report. Even
before the great war the exports OF
bread stuffs were increasing each
year"
Despite these figures, editors and
publicists sing the old song that the
reason for high prices offo cd in the
United States is because of it's
scarcity.

IS PLAYING OLD GAME

( private management to function, even
when propped up by the special priv
ileges of the transportation act, has
created situation which may soon
force the government to resume COM
plete control and operation in order
to insure transportation service. Gre
alton Of a committee of "nine wise
men" at a recent meeting of Railway
executives in New York has not
brought about the unity of action on
the part of the more than 260 sepa-
rate carriers that was so vociferously
predicted by those who participated
in the meeting.
1t is pointed out that in May, 1920,
the financial operations of the J. all
roads show a deficit of $7,266,964 in
net operating income. In May, 1919,
under government control, a net in
come of $31, ,730,918 was recorded.
This discloses that the earnings for
May, 1920, had falling off Of $685.
997 1882 as compared with the same
month last year.
The report Of the government
agency says that this bad showing
is not the result Of high wages En-
ployes have not received a dollar of
increase since March l, unless it be
that as high as 50 per day and board
is being paid to inexperienced men
who are serving in the places of men
who have struck because they were
unable longer to exist on their wages
Of $5 per and under.
The reason for this deficit is that
the government is paying it. That
perhaps explains many things. Were
the railroads on their own resources,
they perhaps could not give any bet
ter service, but they might effect
some economies that would delay the
inevitable delay of bankruptcy.
The freight increases which the
roads are to get will not help them
materially, and only temporarily, at
best. 1t will mean diminishet re-
turns, for higher rates always bring
that reaction. There is a point be
yond which an increase of freight
rates is the very worst thing that
can happen.
The trouble with the railroads is
that they are called upon to liquidate
the sins of the past. 1t is pay day in
Wall Street, and the railroads cannot
make good Their lines have been
overloaded, and there can b no re-
lief for them until and unless every
dollar of watered stock is squeezed
out and the roads are put in charge
Of practical railroad men and the
speculator-b banker outfit permanently
retired from transportation.
The railroad problem is fnnda-
mental. 1t is deeper than any legiS-
lative act can reach, unless, per-
chance, that act takes into considora-
tion all the facts and is based upon
the adduced information that is avail
able to all who seek it. Government
ownership and democratic control will
put the railroads on a basis of serv-
ice, and that is the one sovereign
remedy for the manipulation, graft
ing and ineffciency that have been
the main characteristics of private
management
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-07-30

In reducing operating forces, the
railroads are reverting to the old sys-
TEN of paying dividends at the ex-
pense of maintenance and operating
efficiency. The roads went back to
private control in pretty fair shape
Many improvements had been MADE.
the federal government having in
vested more than a billion dollars in
capital charges.
All this improvement is now to be
sacrificed, because of the Unsuitable
greed of railway arrangements and
their supreme contempt for the well
fare of the nation. Reduction Of
forces is little less than a crime in
view Of existing conditions.
The railroads are playing a rule or
ruin policy, and they are likely to
have their way in both directions.
They are doing everything needful
to make their workers dissatisfied
and resentful. W. G. Baird, president
Of the Chicago and Alton, bitterly as
sails the wage board for granting an
increase of wages to transportation
workers. "They are not entitled to a
penny" he says.
Then comes the editor Of the Rail-
way Age, the organ Of the railroads,
with an interview declaring that the
mems wages have been advanced
more than the increase in cost of liv
ing would justify This in face of the
fact that the highest paid conductor
in the United States after he gets
the latest award will be receivrg
only SO per cent more than he got
before the war, and the wage board
says the cost of living has advanced
at least 100 per cent. in that time.
Evidently the railroad presidents
are seeking trouble. That has been
their attitude since the roads were
turned back to the government.
With their dividends guaranteed,
they apparently do not care whether
the railroads run OF not. For months
the executive of every railroad labor
organization, supported by the over
whelmingly majority of the offices of
the local labor organizations, has
pleaded with his members to be pa
tient a little while longer and to con
tinue to work. But neither the men
nor their leaders have been encour-
aged by the railroad officials. On the
contrary, they have been subjected to
all kinds of annoyances. "Why III
hell should we worry" was the
brutal response of one railroad Of
fetal when a leading labor official
pleaded with him to do something to
allay the unrest and keep his own
road running.
1t is time the people of the United
States were getting the facts. Indus
trial disaster threatens and the men
responsible are the railroad exccu-
tives. They have the equipment to
move freight, and they can secure eff
ficient men to operate it if they are
treated decently. The public must in
tervene if disaster is to be averted.

not troubled with over production un-
der the non-union system, as they
have only 20 members of the Furni-
