WAGES ARE NOT HIGH

Chicago-By vote of 3,742 to 81
the Bricklayers and Stone Masons
Union rejected the bosses plan to cut
wages ''to stimulate building"
Officers of this union show that
the bricklayers' wage of SO day is
not high, when it is considered that
100 days year is the average work
time.
"Most of our men have more thar
four in their families. Where do they
get off with wage of 81 900 a year,
these unionists ask.
In reply to the claim that labor
gets 81 per cent of the money that
goes into building the bricklayers
say that the labor cost in a $4,000
building of six rooms, 24x46, is
$1749, or 20 per cent. The labor for
carpenters costs $515; mason work
$44O; concrete and sidewalk, $3.50;
plasterers, $l44; painting, $3.50,
plumbing, $50, and electrical and
shingling, $40 each.

COSSACK BILL
Rejected BY Minnesota Law
Body

st. Paul, Minn.-By a vote of SO
to SO the house of representatives re-
jected bill that would establish the
cossack system in this state. The bill
was drawn along the usual lines
take all police authority from COM
munities in the state and place it in
the hands of few men appointed by
the governor.
Representative Miner dared the
authors of the bill to call it by it's
right name. The claim that the bin
would establish bureau Of identifi-
cation for the benefit of farmers was
ridiculed by the lawmaker, who asked
his farmer colleagues if they expect,
ed this bureau, when established,
would detect the criminals who have
stolen $4,000,0OO,OO0 from the farm
ers by driving down the prices Of
their products. He declared that it
was not the petty thief who takes a
sheep or bushel of corn now and
then that the farmer feared most, but
the master criminals who charge far
mers high interest rates when they
borrowed money and forced the far
mer to sell his crop at losing price.
These were the criminals that the far
mer was after, said the speaker, who
declared that this bill would not
bring the real criminals TO justice be-
cause the bill was backed by this
element.

WORKERS NEEDED
ON FARMS
Given as Excuse of Employ
ers for Opposing Labor
Legislation

Fredericton, N. B., Canada.-If the
legislative program of New Bruins
wick trade unionists is adopted it will
lure workers to the city, and this con-
dition should not exist, declare local
business men at conference in
which the workers proposed legisla-
tion was opposed. In its appeal to
the government to reject these de-
mands, the employers say:
"One feature we would particularly
remind you of, when considering the
enactment of so-called labor legisla-
tion is, that all enactments which
tend to make the conditions surround
ing the employment in industrial cen
ters more attractive and favorable to
wage earnerS employed in these cen
ters, i'll comparison with those employ
ed in agricultural and rural districts,
tend to intensity the migration from
these districts to the industrial cen
ters. Ways and means should be con-
sidered toward alleviating this serious
condition of migration rather than to-
wards aggravating it."
The Objectionable legislation in
cludes compensation amendments, re.
striction of child labor and the eight
hour day.
Greater educational facilities de-
manded by the workers is airily set
aside by the employers with the
claim that this is a matter of pub
lie policy"

LET DIVIDENDS BE CUT

London, England.-Why should en-
ployers demand reduction of living
standards of workers while refusing
to accept lower standards for them
selves? asks j. R. Clynes, trade
unionist and British food controller
during the war.
ut would be monstrous thing"
he said, "for employers to insist on
wage reductions without also agree
ing to some reduction in the cost of
management, in dividends and profits,
and in those heavy charges which
trade and commerce incur because of
big salaries to the men at the top
and the exactions of land owners and
men who levy rent. If the workers
standard of life is to be limited, the
life standard of others should not be
without limit"

Chicago. - "The power of Wall
street" is not titcion but grim fact,
according to l25,000-word document
filed with the railway labor board by
w. Jett Lauck, economist for the rail
way trade unions.
Mr.. Lauck names u New York
financial institutions that control a
majority of the country's basic raw
materials. This is accomplished
through 100 directors of these banks,
who have interlocked their interests
in 80 class | railroads, in 20 rairoad
equipment companies and "a coal rail
roads and coal companies. Through
non banking directors this combine
is still further interlocked.
~Tha evidence shows" says the
survey, "that there is a capital COM
bine consisting of the major banks,
the railroads and the industries con-
trolling basic materials, and that this
combine has and exercises a power
over the economic destiny OF the
the identical capitalist group lies the
United States. 1t shows that within

italist group has deliberately main
tanned high prices of steel, coal, ce-
ment and other basic materials, and
that the railroads financed by the
same interests have refused to place

even the orders necessary to prevent
plant and equipment deterioration

Labor Board

railway equipment producers-al are
closely bound together by intercapital
directories, coming to focus in the
house of Morgan.
"The industrial paralysis, which
has staggered America, is capital on
strike against society And capital
national and concentrated, takes the
stand that the capital strike shall
go on until labor comes to its knees
and consents to sweeping reductions
of wages, and also consents to sur
render its right to bargain collective
ly on scale co-eXtensive with the
organization of the employers"
1t is shown that while agricultural
basic raw materials have dropped in
price the combine has maintained
prices FOR the mineral products, and
that the combine controls the mineral
products. 1t is also stated that "the
combine is holding up the prices OF
steel and other railway supplies with
q view OF accentuatlng the depression
and then persuading the public that
the railways cannot agree with the
equipment companies over prices,
although the railways and equipment
companies are controlled by the same
combine.
Of the II New York banks that are
in this combine. the Guaranty Trust
Company leads with directorships in
so railroads. The National city bank
is next with AZ directors.
The directors are named and the
report states that a number of them
belong to the inner banking circle
centering around the house Of Morgan
and the National city bank"

COMPANY" UNION
PAYS

Danville, Va.-The company "union"
operating in the Dan river textile
mills has voted for wage reductions.
This gnnion" has been widely adver-
tised in the public press as "indus-
trial democracy" 1t is formed along
the lines of the national government,
with house, senate and cabinet. The
workers have voice in the house, but
the higher up they go the less voice
they have. The cabinet, composed of
entirely representative of the man
agement, has the last word on all
questions. The workers are conferred
with, but they have no part in the
final orders. This scheme has been
touted as the last word in disputes
between capitalists and laDorers.
