GREED vs.. LIFE
SHIP OWNERS WANT LIFE saw
ING LAWS ANNULLED
Seamen Claim a Return to Old COndi-
tiOns Will Result in OvercrOWded
Boats, Causing Disaster
and Loss of Life

Chicago-In opposing Congressman
Scott's amendments to the seamen's
act, the Sailors Union Of the Great
Lakes says:
"The ship owners of the great lakes
are evidently of the opinion that the
public has forgotten the terrible dis
aster of 1915, when nearly 1000 men,
women and children lost their lives
through the capsizing of the excursion
steamer Eastland in the Chicago
river, just as she was leaving the
DOCKS"
The seamen call for public rem
onstrance against the Scott amend
ments which will permit excursion
steamers on such routes as tn AZ
travelled by the ill-fated Eastland to
carry 20 per cent more people +han
was allowed on that steamer, or l0o
per cent more than allowed by the
present law. This is to pe accomp-
lished by reducing the life raft equip
ment to one-half of present require
ments, thus making it possible Tor
the ship owners to double the num-
Der of passengers.
The seamen show that the Scott
amendments mean return to condl-
tions which existed prior to the East
land disaster and regarding which the
department of compulsory education
reported to the Chicago board OF
education in 1914 as follows:
"Our investigation showed that the
average lake excursion boat is fre-
quently crowded to the rail on week
end trips and holidays. Personal
safety on overcrowded lake excursion
boats is a risk of life in which human
ity must depend upon fate as to
whether it will be numbered among
the lost or the saved, and women and
children will some day pay che tragic
penalty of overcrowded boats and
lack of adequate life saving facilities.
1t is only a question of time when
there will be disaster on one of those
excursion boats that will stagger
Chicago"
This prophecy was fulfilled by the
Eastland disaster, and now the ship
owners would re-establish these con-
ditions.

GatIing Gun Friend
Loses His Position

Fresno, Cal-Jerome o. Cross, anti
unionist and teacher-baiting super
intendent of public schools in this
city, has been ousted. His brazen ap-
plication of the political spoils system
was too much for public opinion,
which organized teachers aided in
molding.
Cross is best remembered for this
statement printed in the anti-union
Los Angeles Times, last October:
"The only way to deal with a teach
ers' union is to use a base ball bat
or a gattling gun"
The passing of Cross is the end Of
three-years' struggle of Fresno
teachers, two-thirds of whom openly
favored for board of education sew
eral candidates who were defeated.
In revenge for thus exercising their
right Of citizenship several of the
more prominent teachers were forced
to resign. These teachers were rated
"a, No. /" in professional ability and
cooperation with their superiors, but
were told that they must go because
of their political choice.
"You were on the losing side," said
Cross, "and you must reap the polit-
ical reward"
The statement by the rabid anti
union superintendent was so crude
that the board was forced to disavow
both he and his politics.
Trade unionists are now reminding
Cross that his gatling gun has a kick.

HASTEN THE DAY
AN AWAKENING IS COMING IN
THUG-RIDDEN STATE
When Report of Federal Investigating
Committee Makes Findings Pub
lie, People Will Arise and
Demand Justice

Charleston, W. Vain an address
to business men in this city, Governor
Morgan said: "Thank God, the
awakening is coming in Mingo
county"
To this statement the West Vir-
ginia Federationist replies:
eyes, it is coming, but through no
effort of you, the coal masters or any
of the state officials.
"The awakening will arrive when
the federal investigation committee
makes public their findings and ex-
poses the vicious system of the in
dustrial overlords who have ruled
with brute force and crushed lib
erty loving people under the iron heel
of greed by the usurpation of the con-
stitution and the enforcement of a
law of the gun and club in the hands
of their thug army, aided and abetted
by the public officials whom they
own and control.
Governor Morgan was absolutely
right when he stated that 'the people
of West Virginia don't understand
the situation as it exists today If
they did there would be a mighty
roar throughout the entire state de-
manding that he perform his sworn
duty to uphold law and order by re-
moving the private army of coal
company thugs from Mingo, Logan
and Mcdowell counties and restore
constitutional rights to the citizenship
thereof.
eff he wanted to acquaint the peo-
pie with conditions he could have
quoted an editorial from the Charles
ton Mail in openly advocating mob
law, said: What is needed to settle
that trouble on Tug river is a few
tugs by the sheriff's assistants at a
stout rope
"In other words, the Mail ad-
Gates that the thugs and buns re-
cruited by agents of the coal masters
to break the miners strike should
string up the citizens of Mingo county
who are struggling for their Ameri-
can rights and more bread and butter
for their families"

Waste In Industry
Blamed On Employer

St. Louis, Mo.-Respansibility for
more than so per cent of the waste
in industry can be placed at the door
of employers and less than 25 per cent
is due to labor, according to report
by the American engineering coun-
ellis committee on elimination of
waste in industry.
The committee consists of 16 en-
gineers and scientists who were ap-
pointed by Herbert Hoover when he
was head of the council. The report
comprises 125,000 words and has been
handled most gingerly by those
"holier- -than-thou" influences that in
sist capitalists are 100 per cent pro-
duction perfect while labor is re-
sponsible for mankind's social and
economic ills.
AS examples of waste in various
industries the report declares the
building industry is only about 60 per
cent efficient, the metal trades 70 to
rs per cent and the clothing industry
60 per cent.
In the building trade alone waste
of time and energy, and money
through Implications, estimates and
bids, total millions of dollars an
nually.
Thn o1 ol
hobby Of public opinion molders" by
the statement that the annual losses
through strikes is much less than
popularity supposed.

PROFITS IN SHIPPING

New York-The International Mer-
camille Marine company made a clear
profit of $9,444,157 last year. This
stupendous amount is exclusive of all
charges, and was made after deduct
ing operating and general expenses,
in come and excessive profits taxes,
interest on bonds and setting aside
$4,417,854 for depreciation in steamers
This "clear velvet" of more than
$9,OO0,OO0 is about one-half of the
clear profit made in 1919.

Uphold Minimum Wage

Washington-The District of Co.
lumbia court of appeals has upheld
the District of Columbia minimum

Justice Van Orsdell dissented. He
held, in effect, that when congress de-
clared for the protection of the health
and morals of women and minors,
this declaration should be entitled
to great respect" but any attempt to
make the declaration effective was
unconstitutional"

Resist Huge Wage Cut

Charlotte, N. C.-Textile workers
in this and neighboring states are on
strike against wage cuts that range
as high as 78 per cent. Manufacturers
have made big profits during
the war and wages that were below
living standards prior to that time
were increased. An attempt is now
being made to enforce standards lower
than existed in 1916.

changes just as soon as he, either in
person or by committee, can visit the

Hartford, Conn.-Organized manu-
