Hope to Insure 10000.

The International Association OF
Machinists announced through it's gen.
eral secretary, e. c. Dawson, that ii
purposes to investigate the feasibility
of group insurance for its 100000 mem
bers in this country.
At the present. according to Mr.. Da-
vison, a better spirit exists in shops
in which employees are insured by
their employers, and the union will
attempt to eliminate the necessity of
individual employers insuring theiN
workers through establishing an in
surance department.
In letters mailed by Mr.. Dawson to
all local unions of the organization
throughout the country he asks for
complete data in order that the union
may develop its plan.

LOCKOUT PLANNED
TO BREAK union
President Of AmaIgamated Cloth
ing Workers Of America Is
sues Statement.
4MOvE TO KEEP UP PRICES"
Labor Leader Thus characterizes the
Action Of the Employers in Bring
Ing About the Existing Situation
"Wide Profiteerlng Going on"

''The lockout obtaining against cloth
ing workers Fin New York, Baltimore
and Boston is nothing more than an
attempt on the part of the manufac-
turers to seize a propitious moment
to break the union, or to keep produc-
ton at standstill and clothing prices
HIGH" declared Sydney Hillman, gen
eral president Of the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers of America, in an
interview at Boston.
"The Amalgamated is ready to join
in any joint discussion of the labor
situation in the clothing industry"
Mr.. Hillman said. "That was pro-
vided in the agreement which was
made in 1916, and has been operating
satisfactorily since. If there are any
particular evils in the industry the
union is willing to enter into a joint
investigation, to be followed by a joint
decision as to the remedies. The posi-
ton of the Amalgamated is not ar
bitrary."
The demand of the employers, Mr..
Hillman asserted, for a reduction of
20 per cent in wages, Ito help bring
down the high cost of living" is negli-
gible. The item of wage costs is but
20 per cent of the final cost of gar
ment, and a 20 per cent reduction Of
that, he said, would have a slight eff
feet on the cost to the consumer.
"The real question at ISSUE" he de-
clared, "is whether the clothing indus
try is to be kept at a standstin and
prices kept high, or whether the en-
ployers are going to continue under
the existing agreement and let the
natural economic laws take their
course. 1t is a question whether a
joint and successfully operating gov
eminent Of the industry is to be over
thrown, or the employers are going to
break permanently with the workers
at the expense of the consumer.
( wide and indefensible profiteering
has been going on in the clothing mar
ket. The Amalgamated has offered to
join In a joint investigation of these
practices. The employers have re-"
peatedly avoided the issue and refused
to cooperate in this direction.
''In a word, the Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers of America entered In
good faith into an agreement with the
manufacturers. The industry has
operated we'll under the agreement.
Ignoring the terms of the understand
ing the manufacturers have summarily
abrOgated it--have instituted a lock-
out. The union purposes to stand on
its word as given in its agreement
with the manufacturers"

New Association Brings Forward Plan
for the Establishment Of Nation
wide Employment Exchanges.

The American Association for La
Dor Legislation would eliminate bread
lines, soup kitchens and such emer-
geney remedies for the results Of eco
nomic and industrial descriptions by
creating a nationwide system of en-
ployment exchanges. The association
recently issued statement dealing
with its proposals, saying that the
observations contained therein are
based upon reports received from more
than 300 organizations and individu-
ais in Ito different communities. The
appointment of nOn-political unemplOy-
ment committees by mayors is urged,
that the work have the semi-Oficial
standing it might require for the sake
of prestige.
1t is urged that pure sentimentality
be ignored in favor of scientific dis
elimination between the man or wOm-
an who is willing to work and is able
to work, but who is forced to idle
ness, and the chronic idler who seeks
merely temporary relief. 1t is further
urged that the industries which are
prone to lay men off because of the
decreased demand for production en-
ploy these men to rebuild, repair and
otherwise work around the plant pre-
pairing it for busy days to come. 1t
is futher suggested that the unem-
ployed be hired on public and civic
work, and finally the report says
"WOrk for the establishment Of
system of compulsory unemployment
insurance, supported by contributions
from employers, employees and the
state, as the most just and economi-
cal method for the proper maintenance
of the necessary labor reserves, and as
supplying the financial pressure need
ed to secure the widespread regula-
tion of industry"

Swiss labor Situation Good.

Through 1856 movements for wage
raises and fewer working hours, 233
of which eliminated in strikes and
four in lock-outs, the labor organiza-
tons making up the Swiss Trade
Union league won wage increases to-
falling 7O,7S9,623 francs and reduced
their working hours 100000 annual
ly in 1919, according to the labor sta
tistics of last year issued by the ma
tional committee of the league and
quoted from in the Berner Tagwacht
of November 26. The strikes and lock-
out involved wage losses of 4,O81, 300
francs and the payment of 1,289,S1O
francs in strike benefits. At present
exchange rates a Swiss franc equals
about Is cents. In 1918, the last pre-
war year, there were only $50 wage
and hour movements in Switzerland.

Move to Organize steel Workers.

A new campaign to organize the
workers in the steel industry opened
with the first formal meeting of new
labor committee, representing a re-
organized body among the information
al steel workers unions, drawn from
the nucleus of a group headed a year
ago by John Fitzpatrick and w. 2.
Foster.
The committee was recognized In
November during the period when the
American Federation of Labor's ex-
ecutive council was holding its ses-
slons. Friends of Foster and Fitzpat-
rick pointed out that neither was even
represented at the meeting, although
the impression was allowed to go out
by some Of the labor leaders identi-
fed as conservatives that the two
were eliminated" on account Of radi-
cal tendencies. M. F. Tighe is chair
pan of the reorganized committee and
William Harmon is secretary.
A survey of conditions during the
last year, plans for the organization
Of steel workers during the coming
year and a general coordination
movement among internationaIs rep
resented in this field will be the prin-
cipal topics of discussion, it is ex-
pected. At present Frank Morrison,
secretary of the American Federation
of Labor is trustee of a $4,000 fund
left on hand by the old committee
