UNEMPLOYMENT
GROWING WORSE
(From Labor(


w. II. Skinner, assistant director
of the United States Employment
Service, places the number of unem-
ployed in the United States on De
cember | at between one and two
million men. He says this army Of
idle men is being added to by cur
tailment of the forces of industrial
concerns in many large manufac-
turing centers, including 10000 lay
offs by large trunk line railroads.
In the automobile industry upward
of 100000 men are out of employ
ment, and approximately $4,000 are
out Of work in Detroit.
An announcement comes from
Danville, Va, that the Dan River
mills are preparing to close for the
first time in twenty years, This

few weeks ago they voted them
selves a % per cent reduction in
order to hold their jobs.
As predicted in the last issue of
Labor, the steel corporations are
preparing to cut wages. January 1,
between 10000 and $4,000 employees
of the steel corporation plants at
Youngstown, Ohio, will be placed on
an eight-hour basis instead of twelve
and ten. AS the men work on an
hourly basis this virtually means a
cut of 30 ~ per cent in their wages.
1t is announced that similar methods
will be pursued in the Pittsburgh
district.
There is some consolation, even in
this. If the men have to work only
eight hours, they will get a much
needed rest. But the steel profiteers
will make more on each man, be
cause the S-hour worker is more
efficient-Ed.)
Shut Down at Warren
Steel operations in the Warren,
Ohio, district have been curtailed
about so per cent, the reason given
by company officials being general

steel mill, employing 600 men, shut
down. The open hearth department
of the Trumbull Steel Co. is entirely
closed, and other departments of the

FARMERS ARE AWAKE
AS NEVER BEFORE

The National Conference Of Farm
ers recently held in st. Louis did
some really constructive work and
it is hoped the sentiment expressed
at that meeting will bring forth a
crop of realized benefits to the agri-
cultural portion Of our population.
This will also help the rest of us.
They adopted a resolution declaring
that cooperative banks are neces-
sary at present because Of lack of
credit to farmers and rural banks.
They might have gone further and
favored the permanency Of such
banks.
The telegram from which this in
formation was gotten also said:
"The conference today discussed
the feasibility Of building large ele-
vators in the ten principal terminal
cities and smaller elevators in yari-
Gus sections of the country.
"The ten proposed gram centers
are: Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City,
Seattle, Galveston, Baltimore, Min.
neapolis, St. Paul, St. Louis and New
Orleans.
1T was announced that commit
zee WOulu De appointed 70 meet JdHu-
airy to work out plans Of financing
the proposal"
If the agriculturalists and indus
trial workers can but get together
and stay together they will realize
a degree of democracy heretofore un-
known in this land. They are the
producers and the producers have as
good a right to transact their own
business as to leave it in the hands
of others.

RAILROAD MASK IS OFF

Charging that attacks made upon
organized labor by Vice President At
terbury, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
are for the purpose Of obscuring the
issues and facilitating selfish schemes
that have been evolved by the rail-
roads, William H. Johnston, presi-
dent of the International Association
Of Machinists, in statement issued
to the public, furnishes information
that is certain to challenge wide pub
lie interest.
The railroad organizations are not,
as Atterbury charges, attempting to
establish the "closed shops" in rail
roads. They have never asked for
them and do not propose doing so. In
asking for national boards of adjust
ment the workers have been actu-
ated solely by a desire to facilitate
the adjustment of disputes. They
ask for themselves administrative
processes that the railway managers
have already gained.
In saying that the employees are
doing something they have no inten-
ton of doing, President Johnston
says, Atterbury seeks to turn the
pack upon the employees while the
employers are divesting their cor
porations of railroad shops and max
ing "cost-plus" contracts with private
concerns in which railroad officers
have pecuniary interest.
They are seeking to take advan-
tage of the railroad guarantee estab-
lished by the Cummins- Esch bill to
make operating and maintenance
costs as high as possible, that their
personal profits may be increased at
public expense.
The issue has been clearly Joined
and it is unlikely that the public will
permit it to lapse without getting
more facts If the railroads are plan
ming new raids, it is time that the
public knew about it, before they
have been consummated There is
every reason for predicting that the
railroads have started something that
they will be unable to finish Then
game is exposed Behind the mask
Of patriotism leers the hooking face
Of graft-the same graft that has
made American railroading the ugly
duck-ing Of industry.

THINGS HAVE CHANGED

During the late war, in the month
of March, 1918, England in fear and
trembling for its own safety, hoisted
America to help win the war
On Dec. 2, 1920, Mr.. Bonar Law
said:
81 hope it will long be remembered
to President Wilson's credit that an
affirmative answer came immedi-
ately, 1t was one of the vital fac
tors in turning the tide of that hour"
Yet after the war is over, Lloyd
George declares the English navy
won the war, but had it not been
for Americas quick response when
England was in distress, she would
not now be in a position to give
Lloyd George the opportunity of say
ing that England was the greatest
empire in the world and at the height
of its power and in the greatest day
of its glory, and would not now be
able to crush and eXterminate de-
fenseless Irish people in their effort
to maintain the principle of govern
ment for which the late war was sup
posed to have been fought.
When England called on American
soldiers to risk their lives in battle,
England had 10000 soldiers in Ire
land that could quickly have been
transferred to the battlefields Of
Flanders. But England was telling
the world that this terrible war was
to avenge Belgium and safeguard the
rights of small nations, and at that
very moment her own military forces
did their utmost to crush Ireland's
hope for self-determination and hope
for national existence.

For Recognition
of Irish Republic

A resolution for congress to recog-
nize the Irish republic was introduced
by VIM, E. Mason, who said:
Il read of the continued reprisals,
and the world is standing appalled,
at the retaliation of Great Britain in
Ireland and in India, and some of the
senators talk of making an alliance
with government which holds its
power with murder and arson. 1t
is time for America to keep out of
alliances with that sort of nation"
Mason also declared at large pro
test meeting over the burning of the
city Of Cork, that nearly a million
American youths, drafted into the
world war and whose valor saved the
British Empire, are now walking our
streets seeking employment, and our
stores and warehouses are being
filled with foodstuffs produced in
Great Britain.

CONGRESSMAN KAHN
LEARNED A LESSON

Congressman Julius Kahn, of Cali
fornia, has learned that landlords
control the housing situation in
Washington and are gouging the
people who must live in that city.
He obtained this information when
his lease on his apartment expired
and he had to seek new quarters
He then found that rents have be-
come so eXorbitant that his salary
of $500 a year is not sufficient to
let him pay what is asked of him
and live. He is indignant and sug-
gests that Congress meet in some
other city. In the meantime the
gouging continues.
Mr. Kahn has been in Congress

Mackinaw Trout Eggs
For SnohOmish Lakes

Mr.. A. H. B. Jordan, Chairman,
SnohOmish Co., Game Comm,
Everett, Wash.
Dear Sir: / am very pleased to ad-
wise you that we have assigned your
county 100000 Lake or Mackinaw
trout eggs, and they are now in in
cubation at our Skykomish hatchery,
and the fry will be delivered to you
when it is ready for planting.
These eggs are from the shipment
we received from the state of Wis
consin on our exchange agreement
whereby we furnished that state
100000 silver trout eggs for a like
number of Lake or Mackinaw trout
eggs.
We We're able to deliver our full
100000 silver trout eggs to Wis
consin at this time, but that state
was only able to deliver us 2,044, 800
Lake or Mackinaw trout eggs be-
cause of unexpected losses. The re-
naming 100000 will be delivered to
us either later this season or next
season, and whenever they are re-
ceived your county will receive a por-
ton of them.
The Lake or Mackinaw trout aver
age in weight from eight to Ia
pounds, and have been known to at
tain weight of 45 pounds. They are
essentially deep water lake fish,
and should be planted in lakes of 30
feet or more in depth.
l feel sure that the people of your
county will be delighted at an OPP
portunity to fish for some of these.
Respectfully,
L. H. DARWIN,
State Fish Commissioner.

for many terms. During all that
time Washington landlords have
been demanding rents-not too high
for Mr. Kahn to pay, perhaps -
but too high for many of Wash
ington's working people whose in
come is much less than 81 800 a
year Mr.. Kahn is not on record
as having once denounced this situa-
ton. 1t did not affect him per-
sonally. Bills have been before
Congress designed to strike at the
source of the landlords power. They
aimed to abolish taxes on improve
ments and tax land values only.
These bills, if passed, would have
made it Improbable to hold valu-
able land out of use. They would
have compelled holders of unused or
partially used land to put it to it's
best use or to allow others to do
so. That would have increased the
supply of houses sufficiently to keep
up with demand. That would have
been a boon to Washington's rack
rented poor even though it would
have interfered with the unearned
incomes Of Washington's land mon
opolists. But Congressman Kahn
never raised a finger to help any of
these bills along. A bill is now
pending introduced by another Con-
gresham from California, Congress-
man Nolan, who is of the same po-
litical party as Mr.. Kahn. Nolan's
bill strikes at land monopoly, not
only in Washington, but through
out the United States. Congress-
man Kahn has, so far, done nothing
to help push it.
In Congressman Kahns state a
measure was recently voted on that
would have freed his constituents
from the landlords extorton. 1t
provides for statewide application
Of the single tax. Mr.. Kahn should
have favored it and should have
urged his fellow-citizens to adopt it,
since having personally experienced
one of the evils of landlordism he
should not be so narrow as to try
to save himself only. That oppor-
tunity has passed, but he should
now join his colleague, Mr.. Nolan,
in trying to put a federal land value
tax on the statute books. Other
wise-well it is best not to say what
a different course will show. 1t
would not be polite. Landlordism
is a public enemy. No citizen should
refrain from fighting it even if he
should find refuge that will make
him personally safe from it. Let US
not hint that Congressman Kahn is
going to refrain from such a fight.
His previous Indifference may be at
tributed to ignorance. But now he
has learned. His public announce
ment that he wants the American
people released from landlordsm
and that consequently he wants the
single tax adopted is due.-Ameri-
can Economic League.

Sydney r. Flowers
Jumped His Bail

Sydney R. Flowers of Los An
geles, Cal, indicted under the state
criminal syndicalism' act, has
jumped his bail and is being looked
for by friends who believe that his
interests and that of the cause he
represents will be best served by his
return to Los Angeles for trial
Flowers is young American sol
der who served with the British
forces in France, where he was
gassed. On his return to Los An
geles he published a monthly maya
zine for returned soldiers, called
"The Dugout." This paper became
an advocate of the radical labor
movement and was therefore at
tackled by the commercial interests
of Los Angeles. They secured Flow
ers' indictment under the state "crim-
inal syndicalism" law, charging that
articles in his paper violated the pro
vision of the law making it a crime
to advocate "the unlawful destruc-
ton of property" He was tried twice
in Los Angeles during 1920, both
trials resulting in a disagreement. He
was out on $500 bail under a third
Indictment on which he was sched-
uled for trial in November. Bail was
furnished by number of California
persons interested in the cause of
civil liberty.
When Flowers was called for trial
on November 3 and he failed to ap-
pear, bail was declared forfeited. He
was last heard of from Montreal two
weeks before the date set for his
trial, when Upton Sinclair of Pasa-
dena, Cal, to whom he had appealed.
wired him 500 to return to Los
Angeles. Flowers was travelling on
a lecture tour with his wife and lit
tie boy.
His disappearance may possibly be
due to the effect of gassing. He has
been in poor condition ever since the
war His physicians refused to let
him go on the stand at his trial for
fear of collapse.
Any information as to the where
abouts of Flowers should be com
municated either to his attorney, John
Beardsley, Title Insurance building,
Los Angeles, Cal, or to the American
Civil Liberties Union, 1873 West Thir
teenth street, New York City.
