New Labor Law Praised

Seattle-The workmen's compensa-
tlon law of this state was "put over"
before the pernicious forces which
work against such legislation knew
what was happening, said Harley L.
Hughes, state industrial insurance
commissioner, in a speech in this city.
The speaker said state employers
now approve the act. He showed
that local water front employers are
paying $3.50 per $1OO of payroll for
the uncertain protection of casualty
companies for the 80 per cent of their
employees who come under admiralty
regulations, while for state industrial
insurance they pay only S1.86 per
500 of payroll.
"The law is for injured workers."
he added, benefits to employers are
only incidental"
Beside therapy," or the inspiring
of the injured worker on his hospital
bed with hope and courage, which will
enable him to step back into useful
living, was characterized by Hughes
as an important part of his depart
ment's work, and which he hopes to
develop more thoroughly.

Pen and Tongue SilenCed

Minneapolis - Judge Bardwell has
issued an injunction against moving
picture operators, other unionists
and the Minneapolis Labor Review
that would silence the pen and tongue
of organized labor. In his effort to
protect non-union theater this in
junction judge commands the work
ers not to take any action either col
lectively or individually against the
theater. The labor paper is ordered
not "to make any statement of fact
or from which such fact could be
reasonable inferred that plaintiff and
his said theater, or either thereof,
was or is unfair to organized labor.
To justify this edict that makes
every trade unionist liable to con-
tempt of court if he even suggests
that the theater is unfair, Judge
Bardwell says
with reference to the element Of
combination and conspiracy it is ele-
mental that combinations and con-
spiracies are seldom capable of proof
by direct testimony"
According to this reasoning an in
junction judge has unlimited power
in sweeping aside every guarantee.

CONFLICT MAY BE RENEWED
ChurChmen Justify Recent Steel Strike and Predict
Danger of Its ReOCCurrenCe
Withdrawal of Support and Reputation of Pledges by big Business
Because of Its Inability to SqueICh Committees Report
Causes Collapse of InerchurCh Movement

New York-Workers in the steel
industry were justified in their ma
tion-wide strike, last year, according
to commission appointed by the in
terchurch world movement that has
just made public its report.
The report says that "unless vital
changes are brought to pass re-
newal of the conflict in this industry
seems inevitable"
The report is fiat contradiction
to the publicity campaign of indus
trial autocrats and their supporters
that this strike was the forerunner
of a revolution and was instigated by
"bolsheviks."
Charges Of bolshevism or of in
dustrial radicalism in the conduct of
the strike" says the report, "were
without foundation
1t is declared that the steel COM
panies have most effectively deferred
men from joining labor organizations.
The workers grievances were of long
standing; it showed, but had found
no expression because "they were
limited largely to foreigners of many
races and languages without indus
trial tradition, education or leader
ship to organize"
A general summary of the findings
of the commission showed the fun
damental grievances to be: excessive
hours, the boss system, no right to
organize or to representation.
The remedies desired were: Shorter
day and week with a living wage;
representation and conference; end to
the boss system which so often sub
jects common labor to petty tyran-
nies and right to unionize and sub
stitution of industrial democracy for
industrial autocracy.
"All the conditions that caused the
steel strike continue to exist" it was
stated. eve feel that unless changes
are made approXimating in some de-
gree the findings here presented, an
other strike must come. In the
measure that working men become in
telligent and Americanized, will they
refuse to labor under such condi-
tions.
"The arbitrary control of the steel
corporation extended outside the
plants, affecting the workers as
citizens and the social institutions in
the communities.
"The steel industry was under the
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-08-06

domination of a policy whose aim
was to keep out labor unions. In
pursuit of this policy blacklists were
used, workmen were discharged for
union affiliation, 'under-cover men
and labor detectives were EMPLOYED
and efforts were made to influence
the local press, pulpit and police
authorities.
"In western Pennsylvania the civil
rights of free speech and assembly
were abrogated without just cause,
both for individuals and labor organ
izations. Personal rights of strikers
were violated by the state constabu-
larry and sheriffs' deputies.
Federal authorities. in some cases
acted against groups of workmen on
the instigation of employees of steel
companies. In many places in wes-
tern Pennsylvania community author
tiles and institutions were subser-
Went to the maintenance of one cor
poration's anti-union policies"
Recent charges that big business
attempted to wreck the interchurch
world movement because of it's in
vestigation of this strike are recalled
by this statement by member of the
strike probe commission:
'1n going forward with its work
the commission faced far-reaching
difficulties by anonymous attack, by
the rifing of it's files and by under
cover methods of every sort it has
been embarrassed and its work
threatened with disaster"
The commissions report indorses
every claim made by trade unionists
and refutes the charges that the
strike was called for other purposes.
Every power at the command of in
dustrial autocracy was used to de-
tract the public mind from the strike
causes and to center attention on w.
Z. Foster, secretary of the strike
committee.
The strike was called following
refusal of Judge Gary, of the United
States steel corporation, to meet
committee representing his employees
to place before him matters that are
of vital concern to them and concern
ing hours of labor, wages, hours,
working conditions and the right of
collective bargaining"
Judge Gary refused to meet this
committee on the ground that he
favored the non-union shop.

BIG STORE PROFITS

Chicago-The great profits of de.
partment stores in this city are in
dicated in a suit to dissolve the Hill

sidered the eighth store in size, space
and business scope in Chicago.
Papers filed show that last yeal S
profits of the Hillman sto", were
more than 1886, 900, or about 40 per
cent.
1t is estimated that if one great
nationally known store in this city is
operated on the same bass its net
profits would be $6,00O,0O0, for it
