HOW new SOUTH WALES
TREATS LABOR PROBLEM

Judge Beebe, president Of the New
South Wales Board of Trade, has ruled
in favor of the 44-hour week in the
building trades.
1.-The adoption of a 44-hour work
ing week in the building trades group
Of industries" he said, will not seri-
ously injure the trade of any of the
said industries or result in serious
public mischief or sudden increase
in the cost of building operations.
There will be some addition to build
ing cost resulting from the sudden
Introduction of a universal 44-hour
week, but some Of this can be re-
couped by improved methods Of pro-
duction and by the creation Of a more
intimate industrial relationship be-
tween management and workers.
Better organization of the industry
and improvement in plant and meth
DDS will make up for most of the de-
crease in production flowing directly
from the shorter working week."
The judge recommends the forma
ton of an industrial council, consist
ing of representatives of the employ
ers and employed.

from q certain "racial or national,'
group. But in no event would the
total immigration for any one year
exceed three-quarters Of one per cent
of the total population Of the country,
or. about 100000. No group would be
permitted to contribute more than 200,-
900 in any one year.
It. is also Senator Sterling's idea
that the commission should study the
problem of Americanizing the new
corners. To that end it would be au-
thorized to so distribute the immi.
grants as to prevent congestion and
to assist in rapid assimilation. The
Sterling bill will also probably raise
the very delicate question of the ma
tionalization of orientals, as we'll as
their admission to this country. Of
course, the representatives of the Pa
citic coast states will fight any such
provision to the bitter end.
Altogether the Sterling bill will not
have easy sailing either in the senate
or the house, and it will not have the
slightest chance Of getting through at
this session. The leaders of organized
labor take the position that it is alb
surd to talk about permanent immigra-
ton legislation at this time, and they
are urging the senate to pass the John
son bill, at once. That would stop the
flood Of immigration for one year and
would give the country an opportunity
to give mature consideration to per-
manent immigration policy. "Big Bus
iness' opposes labor's position. It
would like to see five men for every
job.

STATE REGULATION.

There are some very good people in
Minnesota who think public utilities
can be better controlled by the state
than by the cities. That is another
way of saying that our state govern
ment is better managed than the gov
eminent of our cities, which is not
true.
How does state regulation works
Back in New York especial Privilegc'
has hand-picked governor and he is
delivering the goods,'' for the trac-
ton interests.
Governor Miller ran a million votes
behind Harding on election day. bu:
the Republican landslide carried him
through. He doesn't feel under any
obligation to the people, who evidently
didn't want him, but he is endeavoring
to put through as governor the legis-
lation which he advocated as attorney
for the traction interests.
His first move is to boost street car
fares in "a cities, including New York
City, from five to eight cents. He
would deprive municipalities of the
power to regulate public utility charges
and would vest all authority in state
board to be selected by himself.
incidentally he is delivering lectures
on the duties Of citizens.
He has informed the members of the
Women Voters League that they arc
"menace' to the state. They have
incurred his displeasure by daring to
advocate laws for the protection of
women and children. No one, he says,
has right to take part in politics
except as a member Of a recognized
political party. Of course, he would
abolish primary elections, and all SINH.
lar devices of his satanic majesty.
He will probably do great deal of
damage before he is kicked out of the
state house, but we. can't help feeling
that the New Workers are getting Just
what is coming to them.
They knew Miller had been selected
by Especial Privilege' and they knew
his opponent, Governor Al E. Smith,
had protected the public interests with
rare courage and intelligence. In the
face of the undisputed facts major
lty insisted on voting "the party
ticket' with the usual results.
The unfortunate feature is that the
million who scratched their ballots
must suffer with those who were less
discriminating.

The board reports that the first Of
the year $4,000 disabled ex-service
men have entered training and $1,000
men actually in training; approx
mately $4,000 receiving free tuition
and books, and in addition mainten-

disabled are receiving free tuition but
no allowance for maintenance and
support. About 5000 are in train

and community centers.. All their ex-
penses are paid by the government.
No other government has a record
equal to this. The nearest approach

ATTERBURY's THREATS.

"General' Atterbury is a worthy
representative Of the "House of Nor
GAM which throughout its history
has taken the position that the laws
Of the republic were mere "scraps Of
paper" when they interfered with its
interests.
Atterbury, appearing before the U.
s. Railroad Labor Board, threatened
the country with a devastating panic
unless the board, on the instant,
"junked'' the labor provisions Of the
Transportation Act, passed less than a
year ago, under the whip of "Big
Business
In taking this course, Atterbury was
following the example of the late J.
Pierpont Morgan, former head of the
''House Of Morgan" who in 1907 came
to Washington and told President The
odore Roosevelt that unless the anti
trust law was suspended so as to per.
NIT the U. s. Steel Corporation, con-
trolled by Morgan, to absorb its prin-
cipal rival, Tennessee Coal and Iron,
the country would be plunged into a

BY PRESIDENT GOAfPERs
In American Federationist.

The supreme court in rendering its
decision in the case of the Duplex
printing Press company versus the
international Association of Machin-
lists has joined the weight of its au-
thority and power with the anti-union
shop movement. the movement to I'M
dermine and destroy the only organ
lzatons which the working people
have for their protection.
The decision Of the majority JUS
tees fully warrants the statement at
trlbuted by the press to Justice Bran
deis in the minority dissenting opin-
ion, that the whole movement Of 30
years to place workers and employers
on a basis of equality before the law
has been nullified
1t is thoroughly in accord with the
most ardent wishes of predatory greed
and should be highly satisfactory to
those who exalt profits and deny the
aspirations of humanity 1t is a. blow
at the movement for human freedom
and progress.
1t will be noticed that the court has
said that the machinists have gone
beyond the normal and natural func-
tons of a labor union, but has said
nothing as to what are those normal
and natural functions or rights. We
cannot admit that the court has a
right to define those rights, but we
must contend that in the absence of
such definition it had no right to
lay judgment against the union for

the exercise of rights not heretofore
denied.
The labor movement itself long ago
made clear to the world its aims and
purposes and stated what were its
rights; this statement of rights being
based entirely upon the American con-
stitution, back of which are the great
victories for liberty gained for civil
ization in the struggle against the
oppression of thrones and barons.
Under strained decision the SUI
preme court held in the Danbury hat
ters' case that the Sherman antitrust
law applied. 1t was the labor provi-
sion of the Clayton act which sought
to unda the unexpected and unwar-
ranted Interpretation of the Sherman
law. The Clayton act, declaring that
the labor of a human being is not a
commodity or article of commerce,
was enacted to prevent just such a de-
cision as has now been rendered by 4
majority of the supreme court JUS
tees. The purpose of the Clayton act
was to make impossible a continu-
ance of the curtailment of liberties by
a reactionary court. By power that it
ha susurped the court has taken the
meaning out Of an act Of congress,
and in that process it has gone so far
as to abrogate provisions intended
purposely to limit the scope of the
courts action in the curtailment OF
human freedom.

THE PRESS AND THE NEWS.

Several months ago the International
Association of Machinists went to the
rescue of a machine works at Norfolk,
Va, that was being oppressed by the
bankers because it insisted upon main
tanning amicable relations with organ
lied labor. A mortgage that was held
by banker was about to be fore
closed against the machine works when
the machinists stepped in and bought
it. Recently, to check certain attacks
that were coming from bankers, the
machinists were compelled to foreclose
i'll their mortgage and bought in the
plant. Now they own the plant as well
as the unpaid portion of the mortgage.
They have provided capital and have
increased the plant facilities and ex-
pect 10 go forward with prosperous
undertaking, in which capital and labor
shall share equally.
When the press reported this ex-
pertinent the salient facts were dis
torted and the public gained an er-
roneous idea Of what was being done
by the machinists. It was stated that
the "Norfolk idea,' as it had come
to be known, had ended in failure by
the foreclosing of creditors. The pur-
pose sought was the depreciation of
the workers. ability to undertake man.
agement in their own behalf.
The creditor was the Machinists'
union, and the foreclosure was made
by it. The plant has been bought in
| and will in future be operated with the
capital of the workers. The handline
OF the news Of the "Norfolk idea'' j.,
typical of the treatment given other
matters hat affect the interests Of the
workers. Not all papers are dishonest,
but many of them are, and they are
cheating their readers in the most reck.
less manner. It is surprising that the
reading public has not before this
realized what is being done to them
by the "kept" newspapers. The wells
Of information are poisoned at their
source, and the public is required to
form its judgments upon an erroneous
statement of facts. That is one rea.
son why the workers suffer MANY in
justices when they are compelled to
face issues with grasping employers.
