OPPOSE REDUCTION or WAGES
Swiss Workers Refute Arguments Put
Forward by Federation of Metal
Workers and CIockmakers.

Basing its action on the fall in the
the price of certain foodstuffs and the
necessity of making competition with
foreign manufacturers possible, the
Swiss Federation of Employers in the
Engineering and Metal Industries has
informed the Swiss Federation of
a 80 per cent reduction will be made
on EOS of living bonuses.
To this the central committee of the
federation has replied by refusing to
accept the proposed reduction. In re-
Spouse to the argument of low cur
rency in certain countries, the com
mittee cites other countries where the
exchange compares ~favorably with
that of the Swiss franc and where no
reductions have taken place. If it be
true, it says, that the German worker
receives an average wage OF six to
that the purchasing power of this wage
is higher than that of the average
wage of the Swiss metal worker re-
ceivlng 1.76 francs per hour.
ltaly's Loss by Labor Troubles.
Italy lost 55,OOO,OOO days of work
last year because of strikes, according
to h ministry of labor. This figure
includes labor disorders of every kind
wage disputes, loss occasioned by
the occupation of the factories by
workmen from last July to September
and disorders in the farming districts.
Wage disputes caused the major part
of the loss, with 16,50O,O00 days. The
communist agitations, when the fac
tories were occupied, are calculated
to have resulted in 100000 lost days.
Political strikes and other suspensions
not included In the other classes are
said to have lost 100000 days.

Benefits Under Compensation Act.

Employers of labor in Illinois paid
approximately $1,250,000 in benefits un
der the terms of the workmen's com
pensation act in 1920, according to a
report made public by the Illinois in
dustrial commission. This figure is al
most two and one-half times greater
than for 1919.
The report indicates that of the 1920
total of 1854 industrial accidents, 597
were fatal. In addition, there were
about 5000 noncompensable accidents.
In 1919 the total was 38,289, of which
535 were fatal. The compensation
paid that year aggregated $544, $40.

VICTORY FOR

Organized Labor Wins Big Point

UNION CONVENTIONS UPHELD
Railroad Labor Board Definitely De-
nies Right Of Company to Refuse

sentatives in Conferences.

Organized labor, i'm its defense Of
the closed shop, won Il victory through
q decision of the United States rail-
road labor board dismissing the ap-
plicatiOn, of the Pullman company for
authority to reduce wages of its shop
employees and clerks II per cent.
The decision marks a stage in Il con-
pany has been involved with labor
unions for several years. Specifically,
it disposed of dispute that originated
May 23 when the company served
notice that it would cut wages July 1.
The contention Of the unions In
fighting this proposal before the labor
board was that their representatives
were not called into conference with
the company officials, as provided by
the transportation act. The Pullman
company, on the other hand, main
tained it had satisfied the provisions
of the act when it placed the wage
question before majority of its em-
plOyees in mass meetings June 2.

sented to the board indicated, CLIP at
tended the massmeetings. OF these
2,246 voted to accept the cut, 1920
opposed it, and 1,7O6 declined to vote.
The board held that the wage con-
ferences should have been held with
the "duly elected representatives OF
the employees"
The Pullman company had for years
declined to deal with union officials
in matters affecting it's employees, and
had evolved an industrial relations
plan that organized labor has been
fighting.
