DISMAL FAILURE
Industrial Conference Called BY
Government Two Years Ago
Ends in Dissolution,

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The big indus
trial conference, called by the gov
eminent more than two years ago,
seems to have failed, and representa-
tives Of the employers and workers on
the joint committee of the national in
dustrial council are resigning.
The committee was formed in Feb
ruary, 1919, and two months after is
sued a report that was unanimously
approved by the national industrial
council and accepted in principle by
the government. Nothing has hap
pened since that time and one paper
states that lit is not easy for a body
of men to keep their self respect un-
der such circumstances"
When this movement was launched
it was agreed that the national indus
trial council would consider and ad-
| wise the government on industrial
questions. The government declared
| its willingness to proceed at once with
the legislative and other steps neces-
sary to give effect to the reports, but
GOODNESS on the part of government
officials has appeared and nothing has
been done with the recommendations.
With the members of the board re-
signing 1t is only a question of a short
time until the whole structure is In

A. F. Of l., Wants 1t Reclaimed

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Repre-
sentatives Of the A. +. of l.. are urg-
ing congress to pass national reclama-
ton legislation that will open the way
to the development of arid and vast :
lands in every section Of the country
and at the same time relieve the IN
employed through esta blishment on
the land of those now unable to So
cure work.
At least half dozen bills, each
containing admirable provisions, are
before congress. The A. F. Of L. rep
resentatives believe there is sufficient
favorable sentiment to secure passage
of a single comprehensive measure,
safe and sure return on investment.
providing sufficient interest is shown
by the constituents Of members of
congress. The trade unionists are
comforting daily with members of con-
gress in the effort to combine the con-
structive features of the various
measures, developing thereby a thor
ough American reclamation program,
national in scope.
One of the principle immediate
benefits of such a program, as seen
by the labor representatives, is that Il
would open the way TO former service
men to secure homes and to gain a
permanent status in American life.
and that it would do the same for uni
employed industrial workers.

.Pennsy Railroads Company Union"
Blown Skyward by R. R. Labor Board

The United States railroad labor
board has blown the Pennsylvania
railroads union" sky high, and some
fragments of this company-controlled
institution are still floating in the do
main Of airplanes.
The roilroad officials, headed by
Vice-President Atterbury, started their
troubles when they refused to accept
the order of the board in extending
the national agreement and meet with
employees, as was the rule since the
national agreement has been in force.
The railroad officials announced that
they would meet employees in their
own manner. and proceeded to organ
lie a company "union."
The railroad labor boards reply is
one of the hardest wallops yet given
alleged employees representation and
other forms Of company unions -
The board >:.lso rules that employees
may vote for representatives not en-
ployes Of the railroad. While the
edict against the company "union' is
a body blow, the other ruling skaters
years of propaganda by anti-unionists,
who will now be forced to meet the
clear-cut reason the board gives for
this position.
The board says the railroads cleo
ton of employe representatives was
unfair and illegal" The result of the
election is thrown out and a new cleo
ton ordered in which the name of the
federated shop crafts is to be put On
the ballot.
The board shows that the transport
tation act provides that employees
shall be permitted to express prefer
ence for representatives, and that the
railroad ignored this phase Of, the
law.
The board says that under the rules
of the company union" only 1Ok per
cent Of the employees would be repre-
sented in negotiations and S9k per

MICHIGAN LABOR
TO BUILD HOMES
Union Labor Blocks Scheme Of
Loan Associations That Would
Force Wage Cuts. :

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-In a let
tel: to President G ompers, chairman of
the A. F. of L. bureau OF information
and publicity, James G. Henley. editor
of the Jackson CMich.) Square Deal,
tells how trade unionists in that city
blocked building loan associations that
refused to loan money to wage earn
ers for building purposes until wages
had come down."
The Home Owners Loan associa-
ton, chartered by the state with $780,
900 capitalization and differed by
union men, is the result, says the Mich
igan labor editor, who adds that near
ly all the stock is sold and that in
creased capitalization will be neces-
sary. -. -: =
The purpose Of the association is
to loan money to its bers to build
homes. The shares are for, 800, and
you pay rs cents per week per share.
The association loans UP to two-thirds
OF the value of the property. This
association was the result Of four loan
associations refusing to loan money to
build homes until wages had come
down." At the same time it is said
that over 100000 of the funds of the
associations were used to build store
and factory buildings. The members
Of the organized labor did not relish
their money used for the purpose of
lowering wages. It was surprising how
many members of organized labor
had a. NEST egg" that they wished to
leave with the new loan association.
Their money draws about s per cent
and large number took their savings
out of the banks and put it where it
could not be used against them.'

cent virtually DISTINGUISHED.
Extensive publicity, issued by the
railroad in defense of its company
'union," brings this broadside from
the labor board:
AT time when the nation is slow
ly and painfully progressing through
the conditions of Industrial depression,
unemployment and unrest consequent
upon the war. it is almost reasonable
for any employer to stubbornly haggle
over non-essentials at the risk OF So
c1al chaos.
1.-THE carrier had no more right to
undertake to assume control of the
selection OF the representatives Of the
employees than the employees would
have to supervise the naming Of the
representatives of the carrier, for the
statute plainly provides that the en-
ployes shall designate and authorize
their representatives.
I'm this sophisticated land of popu-
lar elections, no political party would
submit to having its primary held and
managed by the opposing party.
1.-THE labor board also holds that the
employees may vote for representatives
who are not. employees or the carrier,
if they so desire. just as the carrier
may select representative who is
neither director or a stakeholder"
In view Of the open hostility of the
railroad company to the railroad labor
board. the next move Of the rormer
will be watched with interest.
Philadelphia newspapers state that
1T is reported in financial circles" that
the Pennsylvania railroad will ignore
the railroad labor boards blast againss
the railroads company "union." It
is stated that the railroad will con-
tinue its present policy of open def
ance Of the transportation act: Under
the law, the railroad labor board can
not force employees or employers to
obey it's mandates.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1921-08-27

1t has failed. however, to so safeguard
the public interest as to make the
earning of this return contingent upon
wise and efficient management. There
are, it is true. some vel bal mummery
in the transportation act about eff
cheney, but it is Intellectual in securing
results, for there is no kick behind it.
Practically the only mandatory pro-
vision in that wonderfully conceived
law is that which compels the Inter-
state commerce commission to so reg
ulate rates that dividends may be
earned. All else is pure balderdash,
written largely by the railroad lobby
lists to obscure the real objects of the
law.
Protecting Wall Street.
| And the interstate commerce COM
! mission has literally accepted its re-
sponsibility. 1t has refused permission
NO one railroad to reduce it's rates, be-
| cause that, it holds, would react to the
disadvantage of the other roads. It
| is, in other words, protecting the
financial interest of the carriers while
completely overlooking the interest of
| the public.
How much longer the people are So
ing to tolerate this impossible situation
depends upon the amount of patience
| the people have in reserve. They have
been standing for a great deal from
this quarter, and they may as well pre-
pare themselves for a few more
| shocks. The administration is def.
| n1tely committed to the Wall street
program, congress is prepared to go
along the full distance, and the public
| may be damned for all anybody in
authority, save few loyal defenders,
| will do for them.
Swallows Its Dose.
The prediction has been made that
the administration will be compelled
to swallow its LESS government in
business nonsense and get down to
cases on this important question. The
pubic cannot permanently be let out
of the equation. Winter comes apace,
and with it increased demand for
transportation, and when the railroads
cannot deliver, what is congress then
going to do?
Ferhaps it will give afew more hun.
oreds of millions, and perhapszit will;
90 what must eventually be done, in
any eVent-take the railroads, send the
1ncomp managers far to the rear,
put some loyal, competent men ON the
JOB and, as rapidly as possible. re.

existing management and make the
railroads a serviceable agency of the
national welfare. - <

Several Favorable Concessions
by Constitutional Convention
Held in Louisiana.
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25.-Despit,

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 25.-Despite
reactionary sentiment; that affects this
state as well as all others, trade union
lists made gains at the recent constitu-
tional convention. The workers failed
to take from the constitution the Sec
tom which provides that it shall DO
the duty of the legislature to pass ar
bitfation laws.
An amendment was secured, how.
ever, that such laws shall provide for
arbitration with the consent Of both
parties. One of the strongest advo-
Gates of the compulsory feature was
Senator johnson of Bogalusa, where
several unionists were recently MUIR
dered by lumber baron thugs.
The convention defeated a resolu-
ton that would prohibit the state
from engaging in compensation or
other insurance. The recall adopted
provides that IS per cent Of the vot-
ers at the last election may initiate
recall proceedings against state Of
