MORRISON GR|[LED

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, March 19.-"Mr.
Morrison. why do labor unions insist
upon the same pay for the efhclent
| and the inefficient man in certain
grades of workers."
| lawyer, started general GrillinE of
Frank Morrison. secretary of the
American Federation of Labor. at the
City Club this afternoon. Mr. Nor
rison had just finished an address on
"Labor's Program.
Labor unions do not insist on the
J same pay for efficient and Inefficient
Mr. Morrison answered. "All wage
scales fixed by labor unions are min
| imum scales. and the employer Is free
to pay as much more as he pleases
for more efficient labor.
This was greeted by roar of
laughter from the audience.
From another quarter of the room
John Hiltz, builder. asked why
union labor did not fix a minimum and
| middle scale.
Suggested Long Ago.
That idea was suggested when
my hair was black instead of white.
as it is now he answered And
/ said that it was an idle dream. Who
would determine who was to get the
minimum wage? The union? That
would mean that nobody would get
tne minimum. IL "oulu ne line an
nouncing the award of a prize to the
prettiest girl in a school and letting
the girls themselves determine who
was prettiest."
Il have had forty-eight years of
experience with the open shop. said
Mr.. Hiltz, ''and l find that as soon
as I raise the salary of the efficient.
all the others strike to get the same
pay"
thick. broad -shouldered veteran of
labor struggles. wages are always
going up. and
He was interrupted by more laugh
ter. The speaker explained. when the
laughter had subsided. that what he
meant was that conditions of living
improved with each age.
. Recognizes All Strike Rights.
DO you recognize the right of the
| employees of quasi-public corporations.
such as the railroads. who serve the
public. to striker" Former Senator
you think they have the same right to
strike as the employees of a private
corporation or individual?'
Il recognize the right of any man
who is not making decent living for
his family to strike to get it. AS for
mean much. The public doesn't exer-
else much control over the railroads.
/ certainly do recognize their right to
strike against the railroads, owned by
great corporations"
Mr.. Morrison, in his speech pre-
ceding the questioning. said that there
was a conspiracy on the part of en-
ployers to bring about the open shop
and destroy the powers of the labor
unions.
EuloRized During War.
During the war" he said. labor
was eulogized> to the nth degree"
But just about the time OF the armi-
stice a change was seen. and that
change has been manifested ever since.
We have the National Manufacturers
Association and fourteen or fifteen
other associations which are sending
out propaganda for this purpose. If
every labor union were wiped out Of
existence you would still have the
labor question. For the laboring man
| has the right to life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness"

ARB|TER REPORTS
AGAINST MINERS
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MONTGOMERY. Ala. March 10
Recognition Of the United Mine
Workers of America is not obliga-
tory upon the coal operators of Ala
su ubcontract system are to remain un-
changed under the award announced
today by Gov. Thomas L. Kilby, sole
arbiter in the strike.
The governor also declares in his
award that the existing method of
adjusting grievances are found to be
fair and equitable. 1t is also de-
clared that the operators are under
no obligation to re-employ the strik-
ing miners. but the recommendation
is made to the operators that they
re-employ the unemployed men who
struck. as fast as places may be found
for them without displacing men who
are now at work, as a means to
promote peace and harmony.
The award says that the freedom
of contract shall >be inviolate and
that agreements may be entered into
by mutual consent.
The governor recommends that
"since this strike was wrongfully and
without the slightest justification
Mine Workers of America is respon-
sible for the present strikers being
without employment. and that there
fore the organization should support
the strikers until they find work"
Here are Gov. kilby's findings.
which become operative Immediately
under an agreement with both the
miners and operators to abide by the
governors verdict:
1. Recognition of the United Mine
Workers of America is not to be
compelled.
2. The day-wage scale and sub
contract system to remain unchanged.
3. The existing methods of adjust
ing grievances are found to be fair
and equitable.
4. The operators are under no obli-
cation to re-employ striking miners.
s. The freedom of contract shall be
inviolate and. therefore. any Of the
above mentioned things may be done
by mutual agreement of the parties.
Every important point urged by the
unioR through it's representatives as
basis for settlement was lost. The
best the union received was the
recommendation of the governor that
the strikers be. re-employed when
ever possible, without displacing
those men who remained on the job
throughout the strike.

below expenditures for the correspond

the eight months ending March /, 1920,
the expenses were S4,490. 000. 900.
Officials said the decrease reflected
the discontnuance of federal activities
incident to the war. and that if the
present rate of reduction was maintained
the total outgo for the current fiscal
year, exclusive of payments on the great
war debt would hardly exceed $4,000. =
