WAGE SLASH
OF Steel Trust Not Justified
BY Food Prices

Washington.-"Th is no justifi
cation for the steel trusts 20 per cent
wage reduction" said Frank Morri-
son, A. F of L. secretary, in comment
ing on Judge Gary's announced wage
cut
"Government figures" said the
trade unionist, "show that the aver
age cost of living on January / of
this year, was 100 per cent above
1913. During the first three months
of this year the food products, COM
posing 38 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 law unto itself and is per-
mitted to violate the antitrust laws
because of the fear that it will inter
fere with foreign trade.
The company limited some time
ago that it would eliminate the seven
day week and the 24-hour turnover

MORE DEATHS
In Industry Than in War
During Same Period

Chicago.-Deaths in industry ex,
ceed those in war, and this condition
will continue as long as workers ac-
cept the employers theory that life
is cheap, says President Perkins, Of
the Cigar Makers international
Union. writing in the official maya
zine of that organization
'The number of American soldiers
killed in battle is placed as 50,151,
and during the same period the num-
ber of American workers killed in
their line of duty was 126,664," says
the trade unionist.
: "On the battle front the men laid
their lives or the altar of patriotism
and gladly sacrificed themselves for
an ideal. In the mines and mills, or
the railroads, wherever industry turns
the wheels of progress, men, women
and little children lay their lives on
the altar of necessity, and die in
striving for the wage that means
shelter, food and clothing for them
selves and those dependent on them

fare are not to be compared with the

DISARMAMENT
REJECTED I

gton.-Without record
vote. and rejecting every amendment
relating to disarmament, the house
approved the navy appropriation bill,
carrying total of 1896, 100000, by a
vote of 212 to Is. There was not
enough opposition to force record
vote.
When the bill was before senate
committee President Harding let it be
known that he opposed the Borah
amendment, which instructs the pres
ident 20 call a conference of the ma
tions to discuss naval disarmament.
The president stated that he was de-
sirous of approximate disarma-
ment," but objected to any suggestion
by congress that would embarrass
him through recommendation on in
ternational policies that are within
the Jurisdiction of the executive.

FORD PLANT
DiscOntinues Bonus But In.
creases Wages

The bonus system in vogue in the
local Ford plant has been discontin-
ued. Notice to this effect was given
the employees on Thursday of this
week, which was pay day. All the
men received an extra pay envelope
containing notice that the bonus
would be discontinued, but it also con-
tanned the information that the hourly
wage rate would be increased. The
increase in wages ranges from to
312 cents per hour. The workers say
that the increase in wages will more
than cover tie amount they would
have received in bonus. The notice Of
increase also informed the men that
the wage increase would be retroact
i've as of January L, and the amount
due from that time to this was con-
tanned in the pay envelope.
The local plant is gradually pick
ing up. When the plant first re
opened after long shutdown about
100 men were put on This force has
been gradually increased until now,
it is said, there are about 800 men at
work. This is good news to the
workers of Hamilton, and it is hop
ed that business at the Ford plant
will contiue growing SO that many
more men will be required.

endeavor. For every man blown to
pieces by gun fire we find two or more

and quarries by premature blasts or
the deadly mine gas
Human life is said by some to
be cheap. 1t will be held cheap by the
employer just SO long as the work
ers accept his valuation of it. There
is one factor. that is doing more to
enhance the valuation of life and limb
than any other, and that is the trade
union. This power for good is con-
tinuously on the job, forcing the bet
terment of conditions under which we
work and live"

WILL INSURE MEMBERS

Washington. = The International
Association of Machnists announces
it has signed contract with the
United Life and Accident Insurance
Company, of Concord, New Hamp-
shire, for a reinsurance program to
take care of the new insurance fea-
ture of the union, effective June l.
This insurance will be based on
good standing membership in the
union and provides a payment of $500
on death or disability. The premium
to be paid to the grand lodge of the
machinists will be $50 quarterly in
advance. The union expects that
when the plan is inaugurated on June

and consider the question of estab-
fishing the eight-hour day. Now, it is
claimed that steel employees do not
favor the eight-hour day, but want
the l2-hour day. The 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
a man and his family to live in rea-
sonable comfort, the workers are in
such a desperate plight that they are
compelled to work the extra hours to
feed their families. I have not read
of resolution adopted by organized
employees demanding a 12-hour day.
All reports of workers wanting a
longer work-day are issued by rep
resentatives of companies who cut
the hourly rate, and then increase the
daily wage by increasing the number
of hours worked each day If the steel
workers were organized, they would
be in a position to resist this arbi-
trary wage reduction, but without or
ganization the workers are as helpless
to resist the will of the steel trust as
the government has been to have it
obey the laws of the land"

EDITOR ANSWERS
SCHWAB

Raleigh, N. C.-The News and OBJ
server editor takes Charles Schwab
to task because of the latter's recent
statement that the cost of American
labor must be reduced or Germany
will lead the world in industry.
"The trouble may not be-" says the
editor, "that American labor is get
ting too much, but that German labor
is getting too little. AS we recall 1t,
during the past winter the United
States had to contribute large sums
of money to keep the babies of Ger
many, along with the babies of other
countries in Europe, from starving.
We imagine that if German labor was
as we'll paid as American labor, condi-
tions would have been different there. "

BRIEF SLAVERY is
LEGAL

Denver.-While involuntary servi-

crime, is against the constitution,
slavery for 80 days is legal
The above summarizes a decision by
the Colorado state supreme court in
upholding the 30-day clause of the
state industrial law which forbids a
strike pending hearing and award
by the commission.
The court says this 30-day denial
of strike rights is not involuntary SER
vitude, because "any individual work
man may quit at will for any reason
or no reason"
"There Is no prohibition of
strike" declared the court. "The only
thing forbidden is a strike before or
during the commissions action"

SHORTER WORK
WEEK
Enforced BY Strike By
Printing Trades Unions

Washington negotiations initial
ed by Secretary of Labor Davis failed
to adjust the 44-hour week demand of
the printing trades unions, and the
members of these organizations, en-
ployed in many periodical and COM
mercial establishments throughout
the country, suspended work on May
l. Where strikes did not occur the
44hour week has been granted per
agreement two years ago.
In response to an invitation by the
secretary of labor, these information
al officials met the cabinet official:
President Mcfarland and Secretary
Hays, of the printers; President Berry
and Secretary Orr, of the pressmen;
President Reddick, of the bookbind-
ers, and President Freel, of the stere-
otypers and electrotypers.
The labor secretary asked the
unionists if they would favor post
ponement of the strike. The union
lists made the point that an agree
ment for the 44-hour week exists, but
it has been broken by the employers
ard they asked what additional agree
ment could be made. The labor Gre
