REJECT WAGE CUT

Schenectady, N. Y.-An arbitration

be reduced. The company asked for

Cured with the union that present
rates be continued. The workers in
troduced a statement from a former
official of the company that present
rates should be continued as long as
the 7-cent. car fare is enforced. The
workers representatives showed that
decreased living costs is mostly myth.
Other figures showed that $2,607 a
year is a minimum living wage in this
city and that the car mems earnings
fall far short of that sum.
The agreement to arbitrate the
wage dispute carried with it the ac-
ceptance by the workers of tenn
porary 20 per cent cut pending the
decision of the board, which would
be retroactive. Under this clause
the men will receive back pay amount
ing to 25 per cent of all their ern-
ings since June ].

ANTHONY
McANDREWS
President of the Tobacco
Workers Union is Dead

Anthony McAndrews, international
president of the Tobacco Workers
Union, died at his home in Norwood,
last Sunday, and was buried from ST..
Matthews Church on Wednesday of
this week. Bro. McAndrews was one
of the most beloved labor leaders in
the United States, and held the office
of international president of his union
for the past eleven years. He was
without doubt the ablest champion of
the union label in our movement. For
many years he was an active member
of the Central Labor Council, having
been identified with our local trade
union movement for over quarter of
a century. Representatives Of ma
tional prominence from all over the
United States were in attendance at
the funeral, and many beautiful floral
offerings were an expression of the
feeling which was held towards him.
The Central Labor Council was rep
resented by four honorary pallbearers.
Bro. McAndrews leaves wife and
four daughters to mourn him. His
place will be hard to fill. The Press
and hundreds of trade unionists
extend to the bereaved family their
sincerest sympathy in their loss and
ours.

STATE BONUS BILL
For Soldier Boys Receiving
Solid Support of Labor
Organizations

If the state adjusted compensation
bill, which will be voted on at the reg
ular election in November, receives
the same support everywhere in the
state that it is appa emily receiving
in Hamilton, it will carry by an al
most unanimous vote. All sorts of
organizations seem to vie with each
other in getting back of the PROPOSE
ton. Labor will be back of it in solid
phalanx. Union after union is en-
dorsing the measure. The Associa-
ton of Ohio Firefghters in their state
convention held in this city Monday
endorsed it, and proudly claim the
distinction of being the first labor or
ganization to do so. The Ohio State
Federation of Labor in convention
assembled this week lends its hearty
support to the proposition.
Various lodges in the city have
already lent their endorsement, Wnlle
all the others seem certain to do so
just as soon as they hold their next
meeting. Both the democratic and
the republican political organizations
are back of it and promise to dc
everything in their power to put it
over.
Everybody in Hamilton seems to
be anxious to get on the job and dc
something for our soldier boys. And
why shouldn't they? The boys" are
entitled to everything that is given
them and then some They made
every sacrifice, for US and we should
be glad of the opportunity to pay
back something in return. Boost the
adjusted compensation bill.

CARPENTER NEWS
BY GRANT KING.

Carpenters Local Union No. 637,
has put into force what will be known
as a legislative committee whose duty
it will be to keep conversant with the
workman's compensation law so that it
will always be able to advise any of
the injured brothers just how to go
about it to obtain what is rightfully
coming to them from this source.
This is being done especially for the
benefit of those who really must de-
pend on the state compensation during
disability. The committee is to keep
a record of all information obtained in
case of a desire to recommend changes
in the law and the committee will keep
informed on all laws and measures
concerning labor, old and new pro-
posed, so that they will be in posi-
tion to know what our representatives
are doing, for or against labor. The
ship at large informed so that we will
be able to assist our state officials
at all times to create laws beneficial
to all the people.
The responsibility of this work has
been put on the good shoulders of Lou
Nau, chairman; A E. Eggleston, sec
retary, ORGY Chapens, Herman Per-
pingon and Tom Arnstead. The propo-
sition was recommended by Arnold
Bill, secretary Of the state organiza-
ton, and who is always on the job.
Local 637 has laid the foundation
for forming carpenters local at Ok
ford where organization is badly need
ed. Local 637 is not asleep.

Remedial legislation is always

we'll recall this historic fact, especially
in these momentous days when the
world is discussing disarmament as
never before.
Despite it's wealth and resources,
our country is staggering under mil
itary taxes. Social progress is ig-
nored that battleships may be built,
death-dealing airplanes perfected,
treacherous submarines invented and
poison gases discovered.
Of every dollar congress appropri-
ated for the 1919-1920 fiscal year, SO
4-10c was for war and it's effect, and
6 6-10 cents for human welfare and

Nations, as men, are judged by their
deeds. Democratic ideals will be
eventually destroyed when a people
permit 90 per cent of their govern
ment's income to be used for war
Only blind optimism can ignore the
future when but 6-10 per cent is
used for human welfare, education, re-
search, the arts and sciences, agricul-
ture, mining, forestry, transportation
and administering government.
This ga per cent policy can be chang

WHY DO THEY ORGANIZE?

Why do workmen not maintain their
individuality instead of organizing?
What chance has the worker for
relief from wrong, or the acknowl-
edgement of a right against concen-
trated organized wealth, without or

These questions were propounded
recently by President Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, in a speech before the Mar
quette Club" of New York city, and
answered by him in his usual lucid
manner.

oUACK MEDICINE FOR UNEM-
PLOYMENT


If labor were merely horsepower
and industry as simple as the fall OF
water at Niagara, there might be
something in the suggestion of split
ting Jobs among workmen which has
been suggested at President Har-
lding's conference as remedy for un-
employment. Since labor involves the
adjustment of individual abilities to
complex processes and also a highly
complicated problem in personal rela-
tons, the scheme can be applied only
to those rare operations in which
workmanship is at discount.
At time when profits are low at
best it would be an unusual employer
who could decide to break the routine
of his shop or office by hiring two
men at half time to replace one full
time employee, especially when it is
remembered that the man who has
been retained in a slack period is
almost certainly a valued and essen.
tial factor in the organization. Left
to himself, no efficient executive woulo
consider the proposition twice. Should
it be adopted from philanthropic no
tives it would automatically raise the
cost of production. From the stand
point of the wage-earner who ha!
kept his place it is open to more
violent objections. He is frankly ask
ed to divide his income with his neigh
bors. How many corporations nov
realizing a profit are wiling to share
their profits with corporations running
