Enforce Seamen's Law
After Alaska Wreck

San Francisco, Sept. 10.-Collec-
tor of the Port Davis has sent a
letter of warning to 81 steamship
companies with offices in this city
informing them that in view of the
great loss of life in the wreck Of
the steamer Alaska. which went on
the rocks at Eureka, said to have
resulted from unskilled handling of
the lffeboats, he will hold each
company to strict observance Of
the law regarding lifeboat crews.
In his warning he tells the boat
owners that they are undoubtedly
aware of the provisions of the sea-
mans act regarding certified life
boat men," He advises them that
"inspection of passenger vessels will
be made Immediately and strict
compliance with the law in all re-
spects will be demanded"
Recent disasters to ships indicate
that the owners of the vessels are
not deeply concerned with the pro
visions of the Seamen's Act for the
protection of life and property. In
the strike of the seamen the efforts
of the boat owners were turned
toward getting men on the ships
whether or not they knew anything
of seamanship, handling lifeboats or
manning a vessel in a storm. They
evidently are learning "after the
wreck" that anyone can't be a
sailor. In the meantime the people
who travel must pay the penalty

stampede" Strikes
Harmful to Labor

indianapolis, Sept. 10. - "Unau-
thorized or stampede strikes" says
the United Mine Workers Journal,
cast discredit upon the union and
prevent its progress, There are
men within the ranks of the union
who are cunningly contriving to de
stroy the labor organizations from
the inside. These men must be
made to conform to the discipline
of the trade union movement by
carrying out trade agreements" :"
The stampede" strike is a basis
for providing evidence to legisla-
tive committees on which to hang
compulsory arbitration laws, cant
strike" legislation and other legal
methods to enslave labor. The per
sons usually responsible for them
know the purposes for which they
are hired, and they are on the job
to deliver the goods.

CONFERENCE ON
UNEMPLOYMENT
ASKED OF HART

Organized labor forwarded a
communication to the state capital
Saturday urging Gov. Louis F.
Hart to summon a conference on
unemployment
Under labor's plan all state,
county and city officials who act
in the capacity of employers, to-
gether with representatives of pri-
vate employing interests and or
ganized labor, would meet to con-
slider plans for combating the sit
uation.
Saturdays call on Governor Hart
follows the adoption by the Cen
trail Labor Council of its strategy
committee report recommending
such action. In the strategy COM
mittee's report local unions were
urged to rotate the work of their
crafts in order to give jobs to idle
members. Following is Secretary
James Duncan's letter to Hart:
GAS you are aware, to the aver
age citizen the most dreaded spec
tire and the worst menace to happi-
ness is the possibility of unem-
ployment; while in the very nature
of things we all recognize that if
our people are to enjoy life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness they
must, in order to come by these
things honestly, have employment.
"To deprive anyone of opportunity
to work is equivalent to denying that
one the means of life, and to do
so is to commit an objectionable sin
1xrhi
sponsible, and not nature; hence the
justifiable resentment upon the part
of those who suffer as a conse-
quence.
Last winter it was estimated
that approximately 10000 people
in Seattle were out of employment,
while in addition many more thou
sands of their dependents suffered
with them.
"The Social Welfare League re-
ports that in July, 1921, it was
called upon to give relief to more
than twice the number given relief
in July, 1920, and prospects for the
coming winter with an estimate of
eight thousand unemployed al
ready in this city, are, to say the
least, disquieting, and what is true
of this locality is equally true of
other parts.
"The Central Labor Council of
Seattle and vicinity, recognizing the
gravity and injustice of this situa-
tion and knowing that solution is
possible, respectfully urges you,
whose function we feel it is, to act
Immediately in this matter.
"Acting upon the theory that
employers control the jobs, which
can be increased or decreased ac-
cording to their will and the per-
iod of time each employe works;
and that labor needs the jobs in
order to secure an honest liveli-
hood, we request that at the ear
liest possible date, you call con-
ference of all state, county and city
officials of Washington who act in
the capacity of employers, together
with representatives of private en-
ploying interests and of organized
labor for the purpose of formulat-
ing plans such as will result in a
division of present available work
and the opening up of new public
and private works that will solve
our unemployment problem, taking
such steps as may be necessary to
guard against an influx from other
states.
"We are convinced of the vital
necessity, the justice and the prac-
ticability of such action as suggest
ed and in the interests of all of the
people of this great commonwealth
again earnestly request your favor
able consideration of same"

Union Theater
Employees Win
A Big Victory

New York, Sept. 1O.-The anti
union shop in the theaters of the
country has been kicked out of the
stage doors and the union workers
have walked back to their old jobs.
The managers got tired of the
anti-union shop principle even be-
fore they attempted to. put it into
effect as a workable proposition.
The settlement entered into be-
tween the International Alliance of
Theatrical Stage Employees, the
American Federation of Musicians
and the Producing Managers Asso-
citation guarantees the union shop
and collective bargaining for an
other year in those branches of the
theatrical profession. The settle
ment for the burlesque theaters
puts about ten more theaters under
the banner of the union shop and
gains for the workers an increase
in wages.

makes peonage a crime in the
United States. This would be re-
pealed In section 3944, United
States Laws, compiled in 1918, it
is provided that the holding of any
person to service or labor under
the system known as peonage III
the Territory of New Mexico, or i'll
any other territory or State of the
United States" is unlawful. The
section also prohibits the holding of
any person in the condition Of COM
pulsory service based on indebted
ness. The entire section would be
repealed.
Under the proposed law thous-
ands Of Chinese coolies can be
brought into the Hawaiian Island;
who are not able to pay their pass
age and therefore would be in
debted to the person who does pay
it. They would be held to their
work by debt. If they quit sugar
plantation and go into the city they
can be arrested and deported
The present laws also provide
that any person bringing Chinese
coolies or any other foreigners into
Hawaii to be held in service or
labor shall be fined or imprisoned.
This would be repealed.

Committee on Immigration of the

THE CHANGES in
RETAIL PRICES

The U. S. Department of Labor,
through the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, has completed the compila-
tions showing changes in the retail
cost of food in August, in Is princi-
pal cities of the United States.
During the month from July Is
to August Is, 1921, there was an
increase in all of these cities. In
Rochester there was an increase of
8 per cent; in Buffalo, per cent;
in Baltimore and New York, 6 per
cent; in Milwaukee, Newark and
Norfolk, per cent; in Charleston,
S. c., Louisville, Manchester, and
Portland. Me-, per cent; in Hous-
ton, 3 per cent; in Butte and Dali
las, 2 per cent; and in Minneapolis,
l per cent.
For the year period August Is,
1920, to August Is, 1921, there was
a decrease of 80 pre- cent in Butte
28 per cent in Louisville; 26 per
cent in Baltimore, Charleston, S. c..
Dallas, Milwaukee and Minneapolis; /;
25 per cent in Buffalo, Manchester
and Norfolk; "a per cent in Hous-
ton, Newark, Portlank, Me-, and
Rochester,; and % per cent in New
York.
AS compared with the average
cost in the year 1918, the retail
cost of food on August Is, 1921,
showed an increase Of 81 per cent
in Manchester; 60 per cent in
Buffalo and Milwaukee; SO per cent
in New York: So per cent in Bal
timore and Charleston, S. c.: so
per cent in Minneapolis and New
ark; AT per cent in Dallas; and
43 per cent in Louisville. Prices
were not obtained from Butte, Hous-
ton, Norfolk, Portland, Me-, or
Rochester in 1913, hence no COM
parison for the S-year period can
be given for these cities.

Striking Bakers Held
In Bail of SS40,000

Chicago, Sept. 10. - Forty-two
members Of Bakery and Confection-
cry Workers Local Union No. of
this city have been held in $780,
600 bail on charges of conspiracy
in carrying on a strike against a
reduction Of wages The original
bail fixed by the district attorney
and grand jury made a total of
more than S7,000,000
The Judge of the court in which
the case was docketed, evidently
realizing the eXorbitant sum de-
manded as bail to be in violation of
the Constitution of the lifted
States, reduced the original amount.
But the reduction in bail will have
little influence in getting the ar
rested men their liberty. The main
purpose served will be that the
smaller amount looks better, in
prinu and gives it the appearance
Of "iustice tempered with mercy"
The bail must be provided in real
property without encumbrance."
Commenting on the strike out of
which the charges of conspiracy
have been made, the Bakers Jour
nal says that when the full his
tory of the crimes committed dur
ing the bakers strike will be writ
ten it will be found that the re-
sponsibility will have to be laid
at the doors Of the Chicago Bak-
ers Employers Association. The
Bakers Union disclaims all respon-
sibility.' Confessions made by
employers spies in the union are
the basis Of the conspiracy charges.
These spies, expelled from the
union, are said to be living at first
class hotels at the expense of the
taxpayers of Cook County.

STRIKE ms. co.
IN SCRAP HEAP
Printing Trades 44-HOur Strike
Broke It's Back

The strike insurance and strike
breaking plan of the Employers
Mutual Insurance Service Company
has hit the rocks.
A commission appointed by the
court reports that the company's
liabilities exceed its assets by about
$1,000,000 and possibly considerably
more.
Circuit Judge Dobbler has or
dered that a receiver be appointed
for the company unless it proves ii
is capable of paying it's debts.
State Insurance Commissioner
Keating was member of the COM
mission that investigated the
company under order of the court
The following recommendation was
included in the commissions report;
THAT an injunction be issued
suspending the business of the COM
pany and that receivers be appoint
ed to take charge of the estate and
assets of the company and to ad-
minister the same and wind up its
affairs under the direction of this
honorable court and that the char
ter of said company, as an insur-
ance company, be annulled and for
feited."
The commission told the Court
that the company was doing busi-
ness in violation of the laws of the
state of Maryland and had not suffi-
cient assets to carry on it's bust
ness; that it was insolvent and
unable to pay its losses.
Tl,n ~ h.,
the 44-hour strike of the printing
trades was the final blow to the
company
Organized labor has been cease
less in it's publicity agitation that
the company is a strikebreaking in
stitution. This position is sustained
by Leroy Lane, assistant to Presi-
dent Edward C. Myers of the COM
pany, who acknowledged that the
company maintained an employ
ment service to furnish employees
to employers who were having la
Dor troubles.
In acknowledging that organized
labor exposed this company Lane
pleaded that employers who had in
sured should waive their claims
rather than permit trade unionists
to point to this latest victory.
81 believe the insured would put
beyond any question of indemnity,
if necessary, the moral effect of
continued operation of the COM
pany", said Lane. "If receivers are
appointed it will be the biggest
feather in the cap of organized la
Dor that has ever happened in this
country"

"COOLIE LABOR" LOBBYISTS ACTIVE,
PRESS AGENTS WORKING OVERTIME
What the "COOe B Would Do in Repeating Good Laws and
FOstng PeOnage System Upon L. S.

Washington, Sept. 1O.-Condem-
nation of the despicable and un-
American proposal Of the sugar
planters to import $4,000 Chinese
coolies into the territory of Ha-
waii has become nationwide The
conscience of the entire mainland
citizenship has been aroused over
the conspiracy as shown by the
many kilograms Of protest received
by Chairman johnson and the mem
bers of the immigration Committee
Of the House.
So alarmed are the sugar plant
crs that their scheme has gone
awry they have opened a propa-
ganda factory in Honolulu for the
purpose of flooding members of
Congress with cablegrams and let
ters urging them to admit Chinese
to Hawaii.
The emergency labor commits
sion," whose members are in Wash
ington lobbying, has organized
local agency, has called upon all
residents of the islands, especially
those who are 'related to a United
States Senator or Representative,
to cable or mail the man appeal
for the passage of the "coolie bill.
The local agency will see that the
expense will be paid.
The business men of Hawaii are
apparently threatened with a boy
colt if they do not send kilograms
to their business connections in
the States asking them to wire at
the Hawaiian business mems eX-
pense to the members of Congress
in their respective states to sup
port the "coolie bill"
Hawaii is a territory of the
United States just the same as
Alaska and just the same as all
| other former territories that are
now sovereign states Of the United
! States. Those who seek to intro
duce peonage in Hawaii are just
| as culpable as those who would
seek to bring them into the con-
mental United States, because it
would be the entering wedge as
the sugar planters are said to have
| put it, for their eventual admission
to the mainland.
