State High Official
In PiCayOnish Work

Charleston, w. Va.-The governor
of great state circulating trade
unions with an attack on trade union
officials is the spectacle presented by
Gov. Cornwall.
The governors target is officials of
district No. II United Mine Workers
who have led the fight against private
armies and coal owners gun men
rule in West Virginia, which the gov
ernor fails to object to.
The governors plan to drive
wedge between the miners and their
executives has failed. Many locals
have forwarded sizzling resolutions
to the governors office, and that of
fetal is told that if he devoted frac-
ton of his time used against union
lists to ridding the state of coal own
ers' gun men, law would again be re-
established in West Virginia.
The Donwood Miners union ex-
pressed surprise that imam holding
Vic HOo4JAOu VI CIiAcl CACCuLlVG Vi LIlC
state" would stoop to such methods.
"We desire to state to you," said
these miners, "that the membership
of this local union stands squarely
behind the official records of Presi-
dent Keeney, Vice President Petry,
Secretary Treasurer Mooney and the
executive board of district No. IT,"
The coal diggers told the governor
that every effort of these officials
"meets with our approval, and we
have the fullest confidence in their
ability"
"In conclusion we desire to say
that no attempt to discredit the of
ficials of our organization will sue
ceed, as we know something of the
hardships endured by President
Keeney and Secretary Mooney in
their efforts to relieve ourselves, our
wives and our children for many
years."

True Reason
WHY STREET CAR MEN STRUCK
IN DENVER, COL.
Can be Traced to the Policy of Tram
way Company, Imported Gunmen
and Press PrOpaganda

Denver, Col.-The recent street car
strike, followed by rioting that re-
suited in the death of several persons,
can be directly traced to the policy
of Denver tramway company, its ina
ported gun men, the infammatOry
propaganda of the local press and to
the citizens alliance and its non-union
shop influences.
The average wage of the street car
men was Sc cents an hour, and in re-
fusing increases the company rejected
every offer of compromise or arbi-
tration. In a statement issued by
the executive board of the Street Car
Mems union, the workers said:
"In order to prevent strike we
"Offered to arbitrate every issue
now. Isn't arbitration fair way to
settle industrial disputes? The tram
way turned that down.
"Offered to make working agree
ment now and arbitrate the wage
question next October after the court
issues are decided. The tramway
turned that down.
"We offered to make working
agreement now and let other matters
remain in allegiance. The tramway
turned that down.
"We offered to submit every issue
to Horace Hawkins, attorney for the
city and opposed to US in the present
lawsuit. The tramway turned that
down.
What else was left to u.s."
Organized workers resent the claim
that they were connected with the
mob. In public speech just before
the rioting the president of the
Denver trades and labor assembly
said:
Don't fall into the trap set by the
Tramway company. They want you
to start violence, but don't do what
they want you to do"

Defends the Steel Trust

New York-Judge Gary sailed for
Europe few days before the steel
strike report of the interchurch world
movement was made public, and no
other officer of the steel corporation
will comment on the report.
Iron Age, an iron and steel pub
lication, rushes to the defense of the
steel trust, and SO does the New York
Times. The latter's defense" is
summed up by its concluding state
ment: "Why should outsiders seek
to stir up fresh trouble? There is
no evidence that the workers them
selves are not busy and contented.'
When the workers did manifest
discontend last year, the Times, in
stead of discussing the trusts long
work day, insisted that the workers
were "led by bolshevists" and that
the strikers purpose was revolution.
Iron Age refers to the church mems
report as an "ill-judged attempt of
the interchurch movement to deliver
the industry into the hands of labor
autocracy."
In this spirit these editors discuss
a report that deals with conditions
affecting the lives of workers in a
basic industry.

Any Plan But Unions
Favored by Employer

Chicago-"Last week." says Editor
Bland of the Union Leader, "the news
papers devoted columns of space to
the international Harvester COM
pany's announcement of a profit
sharing plan-60 per cent to the en-
ployes and 40 per cent to the COM
pany-on paper, of course, but the
newspapers failed to relate the de-
tails of this wonderful plan, so that
discerning readers might be able to
satisfy themselves whether this 60
40 arrangement is a reality or
whether the 60 per cent is actually
mulcted from the employees in be-
lated wage increases or other ways for
which the so-called profit-sharing in
stitutions are noted"
Attention is called to the company's
works council plan which was recent
ly launched with shouts of approval
by the public press.
"When all the facts surrounding the
works council plan were ascertained
and the plan was analyzed," says
Editor Bland, "it was found to be the
same old lemon for the workers, all
one-sided, and wholly in control of
the company.
"The national industrial conference
board, composed of a score of manu-
facturers' associations, recently con-
Quoted a nationwide investigation OF
proft-sharing, wage bonuses, stock
selling to employees and other plans
and in it's report said this:
'Proft-sharing is no panacea. II
is no solution of the wage problem.
The report advised employers that
efforts along this line would not re-
suit in establishing permanent salts
factory relations with the workers
and that their efforts might better be
turned in other directions"

May Sign Union Contract

Seattle-Superior Court Judge Rom
aid has set aside temporary injunc-
ton issued by Superior Judge Everett
Smith restraining two bakery en-
ployers from signing an agreement
with the Bakers union.
One of the employers, Brenner,
signed an agreement with other
bakery employers that if master
baker recognized the union he
would forfeit $100. Later Brenner
sold his business to Horn, and the
latter signed with the union. The
other employers insisted that the sale
was fictitious and they demanded 500
In setting aside the injunction
Judge Ronald said that if the other
employers believed they suffered
damages they could sue but they
could not get an injunction forbidding
Brenner and Horn from maintaining
union conditions of conducting a
union shop.
At the trial Brenner acknowledged
he signed the agreement but insisted
that coercion was used.
"They told me-" he said, "that j
might need yeast and fail to get it,
that l might need -four and fail to
get it, and that | might go to the
bank for money and fail to get it."

No Reduction
GOMPER'S WAGE STAND STlRS
Low WAGE FOLKS
Nation Needs ProductiOn-NO Excuse
or Reason for Reduction in Pay
of Producing Millions

Washington-No recent statement
by President Gompers has caused
such comment as his declaration that
the trade union movement will resist
wage reductions. This policy is not
favored by those who are advising
labor to produce more" and who are
now reminded by President Gompers
that increased production is not pos
sible while the American Woolen COM
pany, the Pennsylvania railroad and
other concerns are laying off workers
by the thousands.

Y reductions" said President Gompers.
"There is no excuse and much less a
reason for reduction of wages. Even
yet we have ground to cover before
we restore to all the purchasing
power of 1913"
These declarations are especially
distasteful to thosS editors who have
written ponderous essays on "labor's
inflated wage scales" and on high
prices because labor is Stacker. The
top balloon of these editors has been
pricked.

workers to unpaid efforts, and in
order to cast reflection upon their
efforts and their honesty and integ-
rity. There is no trouble with the
efficiency of the workers. There is
too infrequently an equal efficiency
and integrity and intelligence in the
management of industry. The action
of corporations that today lay off
thousands of men is nothing less than
a tremendous indictment of manage
ment and heinous offense against a
people in need of evrey possible ounce
of production"

WHY THE MINERS STRUCK

Indianapolis - The failure of the
United States bituminous coal com
mission to adjust wages of certain
classes of mine workers is the cause
for the miners strike in Illinois and
Indiana, said President Lewis, of the
United Mine Workers. This award
was made over the protest of the
miners officials. Since the award
mine workers in most of the fields
have been employed but small per-
centage of full time, due to faulty
transportation.

The report of the commission of
the Interchurch World Movement, a
synopsis of which follows, is likely TO
mark an era in the relations between
church and capitalism in this country.
1t marks beginning of division in
the religious world of modern wage
slavery. 1t is a model statement of
facts, analysis of evidence, and draw
ing of conclusions, and considering
the many provocations encountered
and mean underhanded trickery re-
sorted to by the agents of capitalism
there was danger of invectiveness
creeping into the report, but its
authors have maintained their scien-
tifc perspective despite all provoca-
tions and have given US document
wherein naked facts utterly damn the
steel industry, the finished product OF
modern capitalist robbery.
The Christian Advocate, in an edit
orial Non August 5, sizes up the situa-
tion as follows:
In 1919 conference was held at
the Pennsylvania Hotel, in New York
city, by the Industrial Relations De-
partment of the Interchurch World
Movement. The strike of the en-
ployees of the United States Steel
Corporation was then in progress.
The refusal of Judge Gary, president
of the corporation. to confer with rep
resentatives of the WOrkmen was
fresh in the public mind. Before ad-
iournment the conference authorized
an independent inquiry into the con-
ditions in the iron and steel industry
and the causes of the strike, and to
this end constituted a commission,
consisting of a number of clergymen
and prominent laymen, of which
Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, recently
placed in charge of the Pittsburgh
diocese, was chairman.
The report of the investigation
made under this commission by ex-
perts in industrial research and COM
petent engineers is now being issued
| in book form. It's main outlines, con-
clusions and recommendation were
given to the press short time ago.
1t is so comprehensive that no sum-
mary can do it justice. But the fol-
lowing conclusions of the report may
be singled out as those which the
Steel Corporation must meet if it is
to justify it's policy in the eyes of
the public:
|. The cause of the strike lay in
the hours, wages and control of jobs
and the manner in which all these
were fixed.
2. The ultimate control of the
plants was vested in small group
of financiers which had full knowl-
edge of output and dividends, but
negligible information of living and
working conditions.
8. The conditions of labor were
fixed by the corporation without col
lective bargaining or any functioning
means of conference between the
management and the workers.
a. One-half the workers were sub
ject to the twelve-hour day, and one
half of these to the seven-day week.
In this heavy and often hazarous la
Dor hours were longer and wages
lower than in other basic industries
The annual earnings of one-third of
all productive iron and steel workers
were below the level set by the gov
ernment experts as the minimum sub
sistence for families of five, and 72
per cent received less than the mini
mum comfort level of such families
