ALL CAMPS, WOODMEN OF THE
WORLD.
July 8, 1921.
Esteemed Neighbors:
Last week, Head Auditor Bertschy
and myself visited Pueblo, Colorado.
for the purpose of getting first-hand
information regarding the extent of
the damage caused by the recent
flood, reports of which you have
doubtless read in the daily press.
We find that careful estimates of
property loss have been made by
representatives of the State and Fed
eral Governments, and all agree that
the total actual damage to personal
property, real estate, merchandise,
damage to farms and crops, in the
entire devastated district, will prob
ably exceed Twenty-Five million dol
lars. This means a TOTAL LOSS,
as Eo part of the property destroyed
was covered by flood insurance.
By actual count, 669 homes are
wholly destroyed; 500 persons eEti-
mated missing; IA bodies have been
recovered; some 1900 families (prob-
ably $500 men, women and cnil-
dren) are destitute and at this writ
ing, wholly dependent upon charity
which is being generously dispensed
by various relief organizations.
We found that our Camps, Nos. g.,
20 and 131, in Pueblo, have been
most active since the day of the
flood, and every w. o. W. emergency
case reported has been taken care of
At this writing. we have know
ledge of but three of our neighbors
who lost their Lives during the flood,
but we shall not be surprised II
others are reported later on.
The Red Cross, ably supported
by individuals and numerous organ
izations, fraternal, religious, COM
mercial and otherwise, has been able
to take care of the situation in a

PrOfiteering In Shoes Is
The Worst Yet Un-
covered

Editor Baine of the Shoe Workers
Journal Gifts the lid" on shoe prices,
and in explaining why labor refuses
to accept wage reductions in this in
dustry he shows who is profiteering.
Before the war, he says, the labor
cost of a pair of shoes retailing at
$3.50 ranged around go cents. Later
this shoe sold as high as $12 and the
labor cost advanced to 81 or 8R per
cent of the retail price.
"Shoes that retailed at $40 or over
would show still smaller percentage
of labor cost in proportion to the sell
price at RETAIL" he says.
During the period of advance, shoe
prices were made without reason. The
excuse given the consumers was the
high cost of material and labor. One
man who paid $18 for pair of shoes
was blaming labor for it. He was
asked what he supposed labor received
for making that pair of shoes, and he
replied: Probably four or five dol
lars" When told that labor received
less than $1.30 he was astounded.
"For something over year we have
had falling market for shoe ma
terials. Prices for shoe materials now
very nearly equal pre-war prices. Yet
manufacturers seem unable to make
shoe prices anywhere near pre-war
levels.
"A manufacturer said he wanted to
make a shoe to sell to dealers at Sc,
to be sold at retail at SO, and would
like a reduction in labor cost. The
same shoe used to be sold to the re-
taller at $2.85 and retailed at 81.
Labor receives about 40 cents per
pair more on that shoe.
Labor was asked to contribute
from it's 40 cents to help the manu-
facturer sell at Sc what he used to
sell at $2.85, when his market for
raw materials is nearly the same as
before the war
"There ARE other instances of pro-
posed reduction in labor cost that have
no better foundation than the one just
related. 1t is not strange that labor
is not enthusiastic to cooperate for
such ends.
"These policies are among the
causes of the public resentment
against the shoe business that results
in the jeering of shoe manufacturer
on the floor of the house of represen-
tatives at Washington.
! eve know there circumstances
somewhat extenuating, such as high
rents, freight and other expenses, but
still it is in order for manufacturers
to introduce a little team work into
their lead pencils.
Labor declines to be the goat for
the public prejudice to pay the freight
for margins that a few years ago
would have seemed extremely extra
VACANT"

Organized Workers
Fighting COOIie Help

San Jose, Cal.-"The strenuous eff
forts made by the Hawaiian sugar
planters to obtain special privileges
from congress are of grave concern
to the organized workers of Cali
fornia," says Paul Scharrenberg, sec
retary-treasurer of the California
state federation of labor, in his an
nual report.
"The argument has been advanced
that nothing but the importation of
coolie labor can save the sugar in
dustry of the Hawaiian islands. Well,
if congress yields to the plea of this
infant industry, which, during the
war, extorted from the American
people 25 cents for each pound Of
sugar. then there will soon be gen.
eral demand for cheap bonded labor
from every union labor crusher on
the continent of America. And if this
demand is satisfied, how can any fair
minded employer survive in business
unless he, too, adopts the slave labor
policy.
at must be regretfully reported
that the California japanese exclusion
league did not respond to the state
federation of labor's invitation to
join in the protest against the pro-
posed importation of bonded coolie
labor for the Hawaiian islands"

$4,000 Subscribe
To Labor Paper

The Locomotive Engineers have
built up a wonderful organization
through the use of common sense.
They have conducted their affairs on
a strictly business basis, and the loud
mouthed, empty-headed theorist or
nut has never been able to get fol-
lowing. There are other organiza-
tions which would be far better off if
they could truthfully say the same
thing.
On October 1st every member of
the Locomotive Engineers-89 900 in
all-subscribed for Labor" the week
ly labor paper published in Washing
ton, and in doing this the engineers
again displayed the common sense
that has featured the conduct of their
union.
Labor" is a newspaper that carries
no advertisements. 1t was founded
by the railroad crafts and has on its
staff some of the best economic and
industrial writer's in the country, and
in its columns may be found a true eX-
position of the legislative farce now
being enacted in Washington, as well
as a resume Of the industrial situation
throughout the country.
The engineers want to know what
is being done-and they want the
truth. Instead of filling themselves
with the stuff handed out by the sub
sidized daily political organs they de-
pend upon papers which give the
facts-hence their subscription to

Trusts Hypocrisy
Is Shown By Spy Plan

New York-"So long as the steel
companies persist in the employment
of spies and 'under-cover men to COM
bat labor unions, all their professions
of good will toward labor may be dis
counted 100 per cent" says the New
York World.
"The spy is hired to defend indus
trial autocracy, to betray the inter-
ests of the working men and to stir
up the sort of trouble with which it
is easiest to deal.
According to the supplementary
report of the commission of inquiry
of the interchurch movement, the spy
system, which was an integral part
of the managerial machinery of the
steel corporation at the time of the
strike in 1919, is still functioning, with
no reduction in numbers and no change
of attitude.
"There can be but one explanation
for it's continuance. The steel cor
poation wants not men but beasts of
burden as employees.
every comparison of hours and
wages among steel workers in the
United States with conditions in the
steel mills abroad tends to prove that
the American workman has been given
a raw deal. If there is ever another
strike in the steel industry the public
will know better where to place the
blame"

THE RAILROAD PROFITEER

The men who own the railroads
Are working every scheme
To multiply their profits
To skim off all the cream.
With rates now out of reason
They're anxious it appears,
To make a cut in wages
The railroad profiteers.
1t seems to be their purpose
To put the section men
Back to the peon schedule,
The good old "dollar-ten,"
Shopmen, carmen, yardmen, clerks,
Trainmen and engineers,
Are getting too much money
Say the railroad profteers.
They also raise objection
To the basic eight-hour day:
That ten or twelve is just the thing
These coupon-cutters say.
But they'll soon be shown where to
head in
They're tagged now, it appears;
The "slow down" signals waving
For the railroad profiteers.

THE BIG BROTHERHOODS WON'T
OBEY r. r. MANDATES
Two Million Railroad Workers Decide
By Overwhelming Majority to
Resist Wage Cutting and
Abolition of Working
Rules
(By Federated Press)

Chicago-While 100000 organized
railway workers are perfecting their
plans for a strike October 80 against
two cuts in pay amounting to 22 per
cent reduction and against abolition
of working rules prohibiting piece
work and other obnoxious practices
the metropolitan press is loosing its
poison gas propaganda. The propa-
ganda aims to bring dissension be-
tween the "Big Five" brotherhoods of
of shop workers, maintenance of way
men and other rail workers.
A local paper prints several columns
purporting to be an interview with an
anonymous "chief of one of the eleven
subsidiary unions who said he will
fight the strike tooth and nail. :" The
chief is made to say in great detail
just how the heads of the Big Five
"at the eleventh hour refused to give
pledges to back the luckless eleven
unions any longer than may be neces-
sary to gain the concessions the
brotherhoods want from the rail-
roads," There follows disquisition
on the impossibility of winning the
strike-all put in the mouth of the
anonymous railway labor leader.
Strike headquarters have been
opened in this city with Vice-Presi-
dent Daugherty of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers in charge.
The brotherhood chiefs have returned
to their homes but conferences of
leaders of the other unions are held
here this week.
The strike order was sent out Sat
urday evening after the union execu-
tives had conferred on the latest
move of the railroad presidents in
asking a second cut in pay. Up to
Wednesday the labor leaders had
hoped to avert a strike. W. G. Lee,
head of the trainmen, had declared
there would be no strike and that the
vote of the membership in favor of
"a strike was merely to strengthen the
hands of the union officials in dealing
with the railroads.
On Saturday, Lee announced that
nothing short of miracle would pre-
vent the strike. He said the order
sent out to the Big Five was final, no
provision being made for postpone
ment of action. Only satisfactory
settlement before the date set for the
strike to begin has been provided fol
in the instructions sent to the general
chairmen

CROOKED RAILROAD EXPOSED

Davenport, Iowa - Federal Judge
Wade, has sentenced the general
manager of the Muscatine, Burlington
& Southern railroad to one year in
Jail. The railroad official pleaded
guilty to making false entries on car
repair cards. The railroad company
was fined $4,000. Attorneys for the
road say they will carry the case to
the United States supreme court, if
necessary.
Attorneys for the interstate COM
merce commission showed that in
1919 the railroad charged $4,000 to
other railroads for car repairs, when
the actual value of these repairs did
not exceed $1,000.
1t is estimated that through these
false charges the accused railroad OBJ
tanned nearly $4,000 during the past
six years.

DEPENDS WHOSE OK is GORED

The employer who yells about the
Tyranny of labor unions" is the
first one to join a trust or associa-
tion that fixes prices or limits the out
put. The lawyer and the physician
refuse to counsel with man outside
of their profession, because they de-
sire to maintain the standard of prices
and the monopoly of their profession,
but these same men grow very indig-
nant at the effort of labor unions to
try and prevent non-union men from
reducing prices of their occupation.

that coal is charged with public use.
Senator Kenyon predicts that in
