April business review says, "Wage re-
adjustment has been greater among un-
skilled workers and those not possessed
of a strong labor organization.
Such testimony to the value of trade
unionism only bears out what might be
inferred from the mere existence and
growth Of unions. If the unions &C.
complish nothing, they would disap.
pear. Doubtless labor organizations
cannot fix wages to suit themselves.
They are obliged to follow a policy de-
termined in the main by industrial and
business conditions. Yet it is undeni-
able that they can and do exert a favor.

HOW UNIONS SERVE.

Every trade union man knows the
amateur economists who question the
value of labor organizations on the
theory: that no power can hold up wages
in a. falling market. These doctrinaires
are less numerous than formerly, but
they are not extinct. The recent de-
cline in wages has prompted them to
renew their criticisms Of the theory
and practice of trade 'unionism,
Wages, they argue, fluctuate with
the condition Of trade and the labor
market, and are not affected by union
activities. Evidence to support this
view is seen in the fact that during the
war boom the wages. Of unorganized
labor rose as we'll as the wages Of or
ganized labor, while the wages Of both
are now falling. Were the unions really
effective, they would be able to prevent
the drop, it is maintained:
Like many another fine spun abstract
theory, this one will not meet the test
of fact. 1t is doubtless true that wages
generally went, up during the war
boom, but the wages of organized labor
rose sooner and higher than the wages
of unorganized labor. And now that
the pendulum is. swinging the other
way, unorganized labor is taking the
biggest reductions. This IS attested by
the federal reserve board, which in its,

CONGRESS WOULD HELP
EXPLOIT YELLOW LABOR

The house Of Representatives at
washington passed the Dyer act
which provides for the incorporation
by the federal government of BUSH
ness enterprises that would exploit
Chinese cheap labor and that coun-
try's unlimited resources.
These concerns, that will do busi-
ness in China, will be outside the
control of any state, will have per-
petual charters and be exempt from
taxes, while having the protection of
the American flag. Congressman
RANKIN declared that the plan is
equal to the imperialistic policy Of
Germany and would breed trouble
for u.s.
Congressman Sisscn said: "This 1s
most radical departure on the part
OF the federal government in Great
ing for the first time in the history
OF the country federal charter for
lew people who may take advan-
tage of the federal charters to de-
Velop resources in other countries.
The object Of this bill is to avoid
a tax which present corporations. as
now constituted, would have to paw
In this country like other citizens
to do business i'm China
This bill is to enable the great
corporations Of the United States TO
get these federal charters, thus avoid
ing state control and all state taxi
ton. The great fortunes in America
have been made by avoiding txa-
ton. Now, taxes are so high in the
states and in the nation that big bust
ness is beginning to avoid the bur.
den, and this congress is taking this,
the first step, to bring about a sys-
tenn of law that will place the bur-
den of our federal and state taxes
upon the backs Of the masses of the
people"

closed shop was enforced for centuries
by the guilds. In many places it was
recognized by civil legislation. 1t was
recognized because it was a necessity
for the existence Of organized labor.
"The open shop gospel refuses. to
recognize the right Of labor to organ.
ize in the sense that 1t can demand a
hearing through its chosen representa-
tives, or, as it is commonly called "col-
lective bargaining.' In propagating
this gospel the capitalists have organ
lied most thoroughly and effectively
and are speaking through chosen rep
resentatives. Capital is using the pre-
else principles and methods which it
would deny to fabor.''

BLISS ASSAILS MLITARISM.

While the rest of US have been talk
ing about disarmament, it has remained
for professional soldier to launch an
attack on militarism which promises
definite results.
Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, formerly chief
Of staff Of the United States, soldier
with an unsullied record, recently adj
dressed a letter to the Church Peace
Union urging that this country take
the Initiative in calling an International
conference to consider plans to end the
disastrous race for naval and military
supremacy.
eff the clergymen of the United
States want to secure limitation Of
ornaments they can do it now without
further waste Of time,'' is the way the
bluff old soldier put it.
'fThe responsibility: is entirely upon
the protesting Christians Of this coun-
try. If another war like the last one
should come, they will be responsible
for every drop Of blood that will be
shed and for every dollar wastefully
expended
Strong language9 Yes, but it pro-
duced results.
The Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America, representing all Pro:
testant denominations; the National
Catholic Welfare Council, the Central
Conference of America Rabbis and the
United Synagogues Of America have
responded by issuing joint appeal for
a. disarmament conference. ..
This was followed by congress Of
all. the religious agencies in America
now being held in Chicago, and devoted
exclusively to the formulation Of plans
to curb militarism.
Back Of the churches in this move
ment will be found the organized wo-
men voters, the organized farmers and
the mighty army Of trades unionists.
General Bliss has started something,
and if hex will only stand by his guns
he will win a greater victory for God
and country and humanity than any
conqueror ever achieved on the field Of
battle.

EVIDENCE OF EFFICIENCY.

The charge made by Atterbury and
other railroad officials that railroad
workers are inefficient and are brazenly
"slacking'' on the job has been so
frequently disproved that it would seem
unnecessary to adduce additional evil
dence.
Nevertheless the following figures
taken from the report Of the hearing
on Pennsylvania contracts before an
Interstate Commerce Commission exam
liner are so clear and convincing that
they merit reproduction:
The total number of>machinists en-
ployed on the Pennsylvania line in 1918
was 5000.
In 1919, under government control,
the number had decreased to 1858.
The number Of hours worked by
these men had decreased from 2o,617 900
in 1913 to 19,433, 900 in 1919. This is
important because railroad workers are
paid by the hour.
In the meantime the business of the
Pennsylvania had increased from LESS
than twenty-five billion traffic units in
1913 to MORE than thirty-one billion
traffic units in 1919, or an increase of
almost twenty-five per cent.
This record was made under the stress
Of war conditions and it is splendid
tribute to the ability and patriotism
Of the Pennsylvania machinists.
There is no reason to believe they have
not done equally well in peace times,
although their patience must have been
sorely tried by the unfair and untruth-
full charges made against them by some
Of the officials Of the road.

PRICES DON'T JUSTIFY
TRUSTS WAGE SLASH

There is no justification for the
steel trusts 20 per cent wage reduc-
tlon, said Frank Morrison, A. F. Of
L. secretary, in commenting on Judse
Gary's announced wage cut.
"Government figures" said the
trade unionist. "show that the aver
age cost of living on Jan. 1 of this
year, was 100 per cent above 1913.
during the first three months of this
year the food products. composing 50
per cent of the family budget, was
reduced II per cent.
THE employees of the steel trust
are unorganized. The question Of
wages and hours of it's employees are
decided by the company. The steel
trust is a law unto itself and is per-
mitted to VII late the antitrust laws
because of the fear that it will in
terfere with foreign, trade.
The company limited some time
ago that it would eliminate the
seven-day week and the 24-hour
turnover and consider the question
of establishing the eight-hou.' day.
Now, it is claimed that steel en-
ployes do not favor the eight-hour
day, but want the 12-hour day. TIE
same argument has always been used
by employers to justify the long
work-day.
when the hourly rate is lowered
so that eight hours will not enable
man and his family to live in rea-
sonable comfort, the workers are in
such a desperate plight that they arc
compelled to work the extra hours
to secure a sufficient amount to feel
their families. I have not read of
resolution adopted by organized en-
ployes demanding a 12-hour day in
stead of an eight-hour day."

THE "TRUTH,' ABOUT IT.

Another five-foot shelf of books has
been suggested under the general title,
""The Truth About the Peace Treaty."
The shelf will need to be capable
of extension to an indefinite length

peace treaty literature is coming from
the presses.

was led to believe that the only men
who knew what was going on at Pari.
were the Big Four-Wilson, George
Clemenceau and Orlando. Everybod,
else disclaimed responsibility on thu.
ground that the important decisions
were arrived at in Big -Four secrecy.

about the treaty.
The four men who really know the
truth have not told it.

the "truths' is the latest one BY
