OLD UNION FOE
Gets Very Polite in War
Against Organized
Labor =.

Seattle.-James A. Emery, general
counsel for the national association of
manufacturers, is getting very polite
in his war against organized labor.
Mr. Emery is one of the little Jack
Horners of anti-union employers. For
years he has been raging up and down
the country with his fire alarm mes
sage against trade unionism, and now
he tells business men in this city
to study the demands of labor in
stead of hurting epithets at workers
with new ideas" The speaker did
not seem like the Emery of old whose
pleas for 1.-The right to work" have
thrilled cheap labor employers.
Some trade unonists whisper that
Emery adjusted himself to environ
ment. Business men in this city,
through their associated industries
have failed to destroy organized labor
Their rough stuff has only strength
ened the workers lines and given Sc
attic an unenviable reputation
Another organization has been
formed by these business men, and
the workers believe that the new fed
Grated industries Of Washington will
adopt smoother methods The strike
breaker and thug will be replaced by
"can't-strike" laws, which will be
urged at the coming session Of the
legislature
Under these conditions, Emery put
his war whoops in cold storage and
affected broad liberal, patronizing
attitude toward the workers, while
criticising employers for using shop
worn sayings in condemning others. F."
The business men cheered this east
ern wonder and the word was quietly
passed among those present that
Washington must have an anti-strike
law similar to Kansas.

WILL THE LIARS UNITE

Coffeyville, Kan.-Editor Carter, of
the Kansas Union, suggests that de-
Tenders of the Kansas "can't-strike"
law for man organization to be known
as the industrial court liars interna-
tional union"
when any one tells you that the
Kansas industrial court stops strikes
in this state, he is telling you false
hood" says the editor.
1--WE have had strikes all over the
state since they tried to push the in,
dustrial court down our throats; right
here in Coffeyville, too. The electri-
clans struck in this city not 80 days
ago. Did the industrial court stop
them? We should say not!"

RUSSIAN Plan
Rejected By French Trade
Unions

Paris, France. Dictatorship by
the proletariat" was rejected at the
recent congress Of the Confederation
of Labor Of France, held at Orleans
For several months a campaign has
been waged IN French trade unions
against the n-political policy Of the
Leon Frossard nation
al secretary Of the socialist party, de-
clared in one of his pro-bolshevist
speeches, that at the Orleans congress
he and his associates would go over
the heads of the confederation officials
to the membership with the determi-
nation to change the policy of the
French trade union movement
Frossard went to Orleans and he
also went to defeat, the trade union
policy resolution of Che confedera-
tion officials being adopted by an
overwhelming vote.
The resolution reaffrms the policy
of the confederation, to rely on trade
union action and methods to obtain
justice for the worekrs
"The action Of the Orleans con
gress," says Leon Jouhaux, secretary
general Of the confederation, means
that the trade union movement Of
France will continue to determine its
own methods of action for the posi-
tive and constructive emancipation of
the proletariat"
The confederation also reaftirmedits
demand for "industrialized national
zation" of the railroads, mines and
similar basic industries, and again
made its position clear that this de
mand does not mean that these utiH-
ties shall be operated by the political
state, or what is understood as gov
ernmenJ ownership" The workers
insist that these industries be owned
by the government and that they be
operated by autonomous service asso-

address 10 delegates at preliminary
conference on industrial research
The trade unionlst declared labor
does noc oppose the greatest produc
tion that is possible, but it does OBJ
iect to making production the object
Of life.
"A persistent effort, he said. has
been made to saddle upon labor the
odium of opposition to improved
methods and machinery in produc-
ton What iabor has opposed IS an
effort to exploit them by the use of
improvements that are intended as a
blessing to mankind Labor is rightly
suspicious of changes that are intro
duced without explanation and whose
effect upon their welfare is not con
sidered.
Labor is not opposed to increased
production or improved methods
Quite the contrary We recognize
there can be no permanent betterment
Of standards Of living for all except
by increasing the things that con
tribute to better and more satisfac-
tory living But we hold as funda-
mental that material products are not
the ultimate of production, but ser
vice in better life for humanity.
Experience has taught organized
labor that we can only maintain op-
portunity for freedom and well be-
ing when laws for industry are made
for those directly concerned-fhe man

MANY WORKERS
KILLED

Jersey City, n. J.-There are 80
workers gilled in industry every year
in this state, said John Roach, director
of safety education of the department
of labor, in a speech in this city. He
said most of these fatalities could be
prevented by the establishment of
proper safety guards. He also said
that there are annually $4,000 acci
dents in industry in this state, and of
this number but $4,000 are entitled
to compensation under the law.
