Swift & Com pany Have One
Story to Tell Investors and
Another to Judge AIsChu|fr.

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The poverty
plea Of meat packers, when they are
called upon to pay a living wage, is
exposed by Swift & company in their
campaign to sell 10-year notes that
will dray per cent interest. The
company states that during the last
II years its clear profits amount to
$149,537,840, and of this amount $72,-
099,380-or over 48 per cent-has been
put back in the business. Total sales
increased from s25O.000,0O0 in 1909
to over $1,10O, 100000 in 1920.
The Butchers Workman calls atten-
ton to three claims, and also to the
company's claims made before Judge
Alschuler who recently refused, as
arbitrator to lower wages. At that
time the company claimed lower wage
rates were necessary to prevent the
conduct of the packing business at
loss.

SEATTLE, WASH, Sept. 29.-The
loyal legion of loggers and lumber
men, the company union of north
west lumber barons. sings q new song.
A few months ago it was charged that
high wages in the lumber industry
was responsible for the lumber de-
preston. The legion aided the barons
in hammering wages to the subsis-
tence point in localities where the
boni fide Timber Workers union is
weak or does not exist. The depres-
sion continues, however, and now the
legion says high wages og building
legion says high wages Of building
this section.
Officers of the, Timber Workers
union denounce the legion as "busi-
ness agents of the lumber owners Of
the northwest"
1.-The wages of the building trades
and other organized workers are a
standing menace to the anti-union
shop" says Ray r. Canterbury, IN

Workers union.

St. LOUIS BU|LDIN c UNIONS HAVE
FOUND way TO PUT pep in TRADE.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2s.-The St.
Louis building trades council has
found an effective method of stimula-
ting building operations while fore
stalling the anti-union shop cam
:paign, is the belief of Maurice J. Cas-
sidy, secretary of the council, in a
description Of the plan to President
Gompers. IT, ,
st. Louis unionists is stated have
no illusions that the plan is a cure
for building trades stagnation but it is
their belief that it will partly revive
this industry. Secretary Cassidy says
loans at moderate rate Of interest
is necessary for a complete revival.
For the present, the plan provides
for an agreement between the owner
of the proposed building and trade
unions to be engaged in the work:
Secretary Cassidy writes:
"A few months ago a prominent
promoter came to this council and
told us he could get money to erect
two large apartment houses and a
History hotel, notwithstanding that
every banker in this city refused to
make the loan unless he would agree
to erect the jobs under the anti-union
plan. The promoter asked for the
cooperation of all building trades
and crafts. and he promised to COM
plete the jobs under strictly union
would agree that there would be no
strikes or delays due to labor disputs
and that under no circumstances
would work be stopped Or the work.
men remove from the jobs.''
Officials of the councils affiliates
accepted the plan and an agreement
was signed which was called IAN
agreement with the owners
1.-THE two apartment houses are
nearing completion and the work is
| at least 60 days ahead of the sched-
ule," says Secretary Cassidy. 1.-THE
| wages saved under this plan offset
all argument for reduction in pay.
Under our agreement with the owner
| plan the contractors saved more than
| double the amount in wages by hav-
ing efficient workmen than they would
have saved with the 20 per cent re-
duction in pay.
"Since making that agreement with
the promoter we have made another
to cover a. large hotel building which
has been started and I'VE are about
to sign one to cover an eight-story
hospital building. It will not be a
great while until all buildings will
be erected under agreements. When
these agreements are signed the ownr
