Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-06-24

This Henry Ford person is pestif-
erous nuisance to those engaged in
milking the railroads and treasury of
the United States, and his latest ex-
plot is the worst of all, to hear them
tell it.
Henry bought the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton about a year ago and
when he took it over the road was
closing" 100000 a month, which
Henry as changed to a profit even
though receipts fell off 100000 per
month.
The road has nearly 400 miles
of track, employs several hundred
workers and after July l the lowest
paid employe will receive not less
than Sc per day of eight hours. That
is the thing that makes managers Of
other roads see red and cuss Henry
all over the lot.
Here they have been bowling for
years about the profteering, overpaid
railroad employe and demanding that
his wages be cut so that they may
show a profit when along comes Ford
and in less than year takes losing
road, does less business during the
hard times than was done on the road
during good times, makes a profit on
that reduced business, and raises
wages just as the Labor Board cuts
them on other roads.
How does he do it? Just by re-
framing from the practices of those
in control of other roads. Ford owns
the d. T. & |. He is not hired man
put in charge of the road by fnanciers
who own concerns that sell rails, steel,
engines, cars and other supplies to
the roads, neither does he fake ex-
penses nor resort to bookkeeping"
to hide profits. He's just a plain,
ordinary citizen who conducts busi-
ness on the basis of decency and good
judgment.
He was not raised in-or developed
out of-conditions that made lying,
deceitfulness, willingness to accept
bribe and general disregard for law
and decency, the requisites for pro-
motion, out of which conditions have

Henry Ford Raises Wages on the
D. 7. and |. Railroad

the ordinary railroad president and
manager of railroads. Never has he
been compelled to admit bribery, false
testimony and skullduggery before
the Interstate Commerce Commission
acting as Investigators into dis
ordinations and illegal and unlawful
practices of railroad arrangements,
during which Investigations testimony
covering thousands of pages, and fill
ing over eighty volumes, was taken
any volume of which bears mute but
startling evidence of the conditions
referred to.
All unnecessary Sunday work on
the D. T. & l., is to be cut after
July l, and the employees in train and
other service are to have Sunday off
wherever possible, thus giving rail-
road workers right enjoyed by the
majority and one long desired by those
engaged in that employment. That,
also, is another advance which is con-
be deliberate insult to them.
Wage cutting has never been popu-
lar with Henry Ford. Recently he
stated that he intended to continuous
ly lower the cost Of his product to
the public and increase the wages of
workers, declaring that to be his con-
ception of his obligation as trustee of
a great manufacturing plant.
A short time ago, the big fnanciers
sought Ford's scalp and failed to get
it and this taking practically bank
rupt road, making it pay despite les
sened business and then to raise
wages just when they are claiming
loss and the need for lowered wages
is the cause of great indignation
among the spoilers of the people.

of the American Legion. There was
dramatic contrast between the re-
ceptions accorded the militant preach
er and the re-actionary eX-soldier who
was accorded a very cool reception.
This was no wonder. The only mes
sage he had for them was the Legion
was strong on law and order.
Carl D. Thompson, of Chicago, was
granted the floor to appeal to the
delegates to have their unions invest
in the Bonds of North Dakota and the
other enterprises of the farmers in
dustrial program of that state and to
deposit current funds in the first
state-owned bank in this country.
He was accorded a prolonged round
of hearty applause at the conclusion
of his address,.
The convention unanimously adopt
ed resolution of sympathy with the
striking miners of West Virginia and
of demand that the United States
Senate pass the Johnson resolution
for an investigation of the shooting
down of workers by the gunner OF
the coal company of that state.
"All we want is that the facts be
made known" said John L. Lewis,
international president of the United
Mine Workers of America, who in
troduced the resolution and obtained
action on it by unanimous consent,
without the delay of committee action.
"There are more than $4,000 mine
workers organized in West Virginia"
he continued. "Where they work there
is peace and tranquility. In the
southeastern part of the state there
are some 10000 coal miners existing
in conditions of peonage There hum
dreds of armed men patrol the mount
aims, inficting the unbridled will OF
the coal operators on these workers.
There is no peace there. In Mingo
county 100 per cent Of the -unorgan-
lied mine workers one day joined the
union. The next day 1853 mines were
shut down."

Soldiers Won't Be Used

Seattle-The national guard will
not be used in strikes, declared of
ficers of the national guard in con-
vention in this city. President Short,
of the state federation of labor, was
given this assurance after he ad-
dressed the convention. Delegates
told the trades unionist that the new
form of organization of the guard pre-
cludes it's use for any purpose other
than national defense.

Rail Workers Win

Chicago-Organized railroad shop
employees won their fight for negotia-
ton of agreements with the railroads
by system federations in a decision
handed down by the United States
railroad labor board. Several rail-
roads have refused to negotiate with
these federations and insist that each
craft union be dealt with separately.

C. w. BIDDLE

Mr.. Biddle prefaced his remarks
with the statement that the members
of the bar, together with those of
other professions, disclaimed interest
in the open and closed shop idea. but
leaned towards the former as regarded
the working people. Yet there was
no town of any size in the state but
what had it's Bar Association and
Medical Association, and that mem
bers of these professions lost caste
unless affiliated with their respective
associations. He had heard the COM
mon please judge at home referred
to as the business agent ct the
Lawyers Union. 1t was only recently
that a bill had been introduced in The
state legislature to require every prac~
ticing attorney to become member
of the State Bar Association or pay
a fine up to $500. In Mansfield the
doctors had strong association and
printed price lists, considerably in ad
vance of those of year ago, adorned
the walls of their offices.
The statement of Lincoln, that the
hand and brain of labor is funda-
mental to all wealth, means that tho
brain of labor, properly applied, ere
ates all wealth. Labor deserves anu
is entitled to square deal. Mill
owners and open shop advocates are
displaying an interest in the welfare
and freedom of their employees never
before shown in history But to en-
joy these blessings man must sever
affiliation with his union.
The National Chamber of Com
merce, at it's meeting in Atlantic City,
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-06-24

Another large and enthusiastic
gathering assembled Tuesday evening
to hear the present deplorable labor
conditions discussed and explained
by men thoroughly familiar with the
situation, and the disastrous and
chaotic conditions resulting from the
attempt to adopt the so-called Ameri-
can Plan and enforce the open shop
with it's attendant evils upon the work
ing people of the country.
The speakers were G. W. Biddle, a
brilliant young attorney of Mansfield
whose sympathies are with the work
ing people and whose eloquent re-
marks proved that he was thoroughly
familiar with the situation, and oul
old friend from Cleveland, Arnold
Bill, secretary Of the Ohio State
Council United Brotherhood of Car
penters and Joiners of America, who
made such hit at the meeting last
month.
The closest attention was given to
these gentlemen by the crowd which
packed the northern portion of the
park from the speakers stand on the
court house porch to the street, and
cheers and applause were frequent
and generous. The Buckeye Band
was present and rendered several
selections during the evening.
Victor Walk, president of the New
ark Trades and Labor Assembly,
presided, and in presenting the speak
ers said, among other things, that the
meeting had been called principally
for the purpose of discussing the open
shop propaganda which has been so
persistently fostered and propagated
throughout the country with the sole
object and purpose of disrupting labor
organizations and destroying collect
i've bargaining, good wages and fair
working conditions. The "open shop
was opposed to the true American
idea of Democracy for the gaining of
which so much had been sacrificed
during the past few years. He Closed
with the declaration that the Newark
Trades and Labor Assembly would
as long as it existed, oppose the open
shop and fight for decent working
conditions, reasonable hours and liv-
ing wages.
