CARPENTERS CUT
own WAGE Rate
Union Voluntarily Voted to Re.
duce Scale From One Dollar
an Hour to 80 Cents. j!
1a

BY a decidedly close margin Car
penters' union No. 361 last Tuesday
evening voted to reduce the minimum
wage scale to 80 cents. This does not
mean that every carpenter will re-
ceive 80 cents, for many of them will
continue to be paid more than the
minimum.
The action of the union was taken
following the decision Of Mcleod &
Smith to reduce the wage to 80 cents.
Members of the union on the Mar
shall-Wells job were being paid at
the rate Of 81 an hour and the wages
were voluntarily reduced to 80 cents
following the action Of the union.
The course Of the carpenters is de-
serving of attention. Here is union
that was bound by a contract during
the early part of the high price era.
No change in that contract could be
made. Every member Of the union
lived up to it to the letter, although
higher than the contract scale was
paid to individual members by con-
tractors bidding against each other
for men.
In any event the union stood pat,
maintained its honor and only re-
ceived the 81 an hour scale during
the past two-year period. Now it is
the first union to voluntarily reduce
it's scale. The anti-unionists may put
any construction to the action Of the
Carpenters union they see fit, but
the fact remains that it plays fair.

ONE MORE FREAK
STATESMAN CONE
Governor Allen and His Kansas
Can't-Strike Law are Now
on Down Grade.

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 10.-Governor
Allen and his "can't-strike" law have
passed the peak Of popularity and are
now headed toward the down grade.
At the last session Of the legislature
the governor was monarch Of all he
surveyed, with the press of the nation
and moving pictures acclaiming him
the man who had "solved the labor
problem"
Labor steadied itself to receive the
shock. The workers have seen these
freak statesmen" appear and disap-
pear, and Allen is proving no excep-
ton to the rule.
He opens the new year with leg
islature of different mold than the
previous one and the workers, instead
of acting on the defensive against the
whirl Of opposition last year, are now
conducting an offensive battle.
In his message to the lawmakers,
Governor Allen "sensed" the coming
storm against his industrial court.
which has been most generous to COR
porations that demanded rate in
creases.. The governor now favors
a new commission to handle corpora
tons, and this, he says, will give his
industrial court more time to handle
the labor cases. This means an added
cost Of from 100000 to 100000 q year
to taxpayers and some of the legisla-
tors are reaching for their toma-
hawks.
The governor: has officially declared
that lit would be disaster to great
cause" if his law "were allowed to
drift into disuse." The house Of rep
resentatives has called on the Judges
Of the Allen court to give an account
of their doings, and thinking men
agree that the governors dream Is
over.

RATES REDUCED
Pennsylvania Lumbermen's As
ISOLATION Sees Error Of Its
Way and Seeks Relief.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10. - The
Pennsylvania Lumbermen's associa-
ton is bowling about high freight
rates. They want 'em reduced. Last
spring. these business men were as
loud in their demand that the rail-
roads be returned to their owners in
,stanter. They would not wait for
government control to be tried under
normal conditions, but insisted that
the Cummins-Esch railroad bill be
passed. This was done, the roads
guaranteed s per cent interest, rates
were advanced to make that guaran-
tee possible, and now the lumber men
object.
In speech to the lumber men on
costs one of these business men made
the interesting statement that the ma
jority Of the lumber men in this state
do not know the rate Of profit they
are making.
I'm some instances he said, "they
really believed: they were making 80
per cent profit and after look at
their books found they were only
making, 10 per cent"

Disabled World War VET
Grams in Training.

WASHINGTON Feb. 10. 49, The
present grave unemployment situa-
ton does not seriously affect the gov
ernment's program Of training dis
abled ex-service men, according to
staff officials Of the federal board for
vocational education. The board re-
ports $1,000 Of these world war vets
in training, approximately 10000 Of
whom are on the job in factories,
plants or offices. In the event Of a
plant where trainees are enrolled
closing down. they are moved to other
plants.
Government reports show that the
most serious unemployment situation
is in the New England textile and
shoe industries. AS it affects federal
board trainees the next most serious
unemployment is In the central states
rubber and automobile industries.
The federal boards 1920 annual
report showed 1921 men in training
in the automobile and related indus
tries, $40 men in shoe making and
repair, 264 in textiles and only in
the rubber manufacturing industry.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-Con-
gresham Blanton Of Texas accepted
an invitation to address members of
Federal Employees union No. 2, but
did not "get away with his harangue.
He charged that two-thirds of the
membership of the A. F. of L. cannot
speak English and another one-third
evaded military service during the
war.
This statement was received with
Kisses and Hugh Reil, associate edi-
tor of the Federal Employe, called
the Texan a liar.
Blanton. made his usual TRADE, so
common to him in congress. He
praised the membership of the union
while condemning their officials, but
he met with little success in the old
game Of divide. AS a last grand stand
play he said he was notified that If he
attended the meeting he would be
assassinated."
The speech was voted the best vau-
deville ever witnessed by the federal
employees.

VIVA. MEMBERS
Miners Charged With. killing
FeItz-BaldWin Gunner are
Placed on Trial.

WILLIAMSON, W. Va, Feb. 10
The effort of West Virginia coal own
ers to feudalize employees is bound to
feature the trial of score Of men
charged with murder, as the result of
an attempt by Baldwin-Feltz detec-
t1ves to evict striking miners from
sAacks owned by the Stone Mountain
Coal company, at Matewan, near here.
The detectives adopted their usual
terroristic tactics, but these noun
tain men were too quick for them and
seven detectives were killed, as was
and two other citizens. Among the
defendants is one negro, B. r. Page.
All Of them have been under $4,000
bail, and with the exception of Page,
were present at the opening of tho
trial. The negro's bail was declared
forfeited, but the next day he proved
to the court that a train wreck made
his appearance at the opening of court
impossible and Judge Bailey withdrew
his order.
Federal troops, under command of
Colonel Hall, are at the trial because
Of the bitterness against the Baldwin
Feltz thugs. Public opinion is also
embittered against the coal barons
because Of their eviction of women
and children, who ere forced to live
against the snow covered mountains
in tents furnished by the United Mine
Workers union.
The union is defending the accused,
who insist that the sh '.' they fired
were in self defense.

TENNESSEEHAS
N0:STRIKEB BILL
Legislature Would Also Put the
Labor Unions on Same
Basis as Property.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 1o.-A
bill has been introduced in the state
legislature which would permit a VOL
untary association of seven or more
members to sue or be sued. The bill
is aimed at labor, but it, author has
failed to see that It would place a.
weapon in the hands of any seven men

tions or Individuals
:. A bill far more dangerous to labor
would make it unla 7ful for unions to
make effective any unwarranted in

drawn and would outlaw collective
action; it would be "unwarranted in
dustrial warfare" if workers suspend
work before giving emplc. ers - ''rea-

It would devolve, on thu court to de-

to prove this point. It IS also stated
that g. miners strike does not neces-
sarily reduce the amount Of yearly
wages received, as ut may divide the
slack season into two parts, and in
estimating their loss in wages this
condition should be borne in mind"
In discussing strike losses by en-
ployers, Mr.. Whitney says, Every few
who estimate this loss explain their
method Of figuring"
Except in very long-continued
strikes, however. it seems to be linn
tied mainly to the loss in profits,
something very difficult to figure, for
profits are elusive and may disappear
even in the absence Of a strike, since
they are generally dependent upon
market conditions at the time Of the
sale, rather than at the time of man.
ufacture.
Temporary losses in one establish
ment are often offset by temporary
gains later as where a shop is closed
for a time by strike of its employees
and a neighbor shop gets its business
during the time. and then later the
first shop profits similarly by a. strike
at the second shop.
I'm only rare instances does the
public. the innocent third party, suffer
money loss. It suffers in inconven-
fence mainlq.
Rarely is there any loss of time
to employees in related industries.
Manufacturing establishments do not
live from hand to mouth. They keep
enough raw material on hahd for most
emergencies and their finished pro-
duct IL rarely oversold.
I'm the recent coal strike what
little Inconvenience was suffered was
due to fear that there might be a
shortage Of coal, rather than because
any such actual shortage existed, and
tho few establishments that were
closed because Of the strike undoubt-
edly soon made up for lost time, IL the
slack season in that industry was not
at hand. -.
''While it may be- possible to get
at the cost Of few small strikes, it
does not seem that figures purporting
to represent the cost Of strikes in
money have any value whatever.

The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1921-02-12

An approximate cost Of strikes can
not be estimated, except in isolated
instances. says Edison L. Whitney,
writing in the Monthly Labor Review,
issued by the United States bureau of
labor statistics.
The writer discounts claims by
those who estimate the cost Of strikes
down to the last dollar. He says it is
impossible to estimate the loss and
that figures issued on this subject
''are but mere guesses by the COM
piler, not statistical in character and
frequently incorrect in their conclu-
sions."
Despite the machinery established
by the bureau Of labor statistics and
the various states complete informa-
ton of every strike cannot be OBJ
tanned, nor is it possible to say that
the information is correct in every
particular, especially since statements
of employers and employees are fire,
quently greatly at variance. The re-
cent steel strike illustrates this point,
says Mr.. Whitney, the union officials
announced that $4,000 men were
idle; the next day the number was
given as $4,000; two days later as
10000, and on Oct. ~ as $4,000.
On the other hand the employers de-
MED that over 40 per cent Of the
above number actually went out. On
Oct. IS, the Inland Steel company. at
Indiana Harbor, announced that 5000
Of their employees had returned to
work. while the union officials claimed
the number was $50. On Oct. ~ the
Indiana Steel company at Gary, Ind,
stated that their mill was operating,
while tho union officials said that the
strikers were standing firm.
It is shown by these figures that the
steel strike desulted in q loss Of g.
100000 man-days or 10000. 900 man
days, according to ones viewpoint.
From the standpoint Of statistics,
however, the figures mean nothing.
Tho loss resulting from strikes Is
largely mythical, according y to the
writer, who says: ~
'Most industries are seasonal to q
certain extent and when. after a shoft
strike, the men return invigorated and
rested as a result Of their vacation,
they will. IN. the course Of the season,
do az much work Is they would have
done had no strike occurred. In
