Labor Unrest is
Growing in Germany
(By Federated Press)

Washington - Strikes and labor
unrest are again increasing in Ger
many, says report made public by
the Department of Commerce.
An increase in wages of rs pei
cent is demanded, in general average,
due to the steady decline in the value
of the mark and the rise in the cost
of food and clothing. Workers in the
engineering and steel industries in
the Dusseldorf region are on strike
and operation of the plants is virtu-
ally at a standstill.
At the Krupp works in Essen the
$4,000 workers have presented a de-
mand for a Giving cost bonus" of
1000 marks per month, due to the de-
probation of the value of the money
they receive.
"It is not anticipated that this de-
mand of labor will remain disputed
long," says the department, "for it
seems clearly recognized, both within
and outside Germany, that the profits
of manufacturers from exports are
enormous, particularly while the mark
is on the decline and as long as do
mestic costs of production lag behind
the depreciation of currency"
In spite of increased freight rates
and advances in the cost of coal, pig
iron, etc., the German plant managers
decline to promise delivery of goods
under four months.

FEW CONGRESSMEN WERE ON
THE JOB DURING LAST TERM

The Columbus Dispatch has COM
piled an interesting tabulation of the
activities of Ohio congressman, as re-
vealed by roll calls, during the past
session of congress.
There were 1872 roll calls, and Con-
gresham Ricketts,, of Logan, broke
all records by answering to each of
them. He was closely followed by
John C. Speaks, of Columbus, who
failed to respond on two occasions.
Congressman Knight, of Akron,
was the champion absentee, failing to
vote on 124 roll calls out of the 1872.
Calm, of Cleveland, was absent ia
times, and Cooper, of Youngstown,
96 times.
Here is a record of the other Ohio
congressman, showing the number of
roll calls they missed:
Cole 81, Fitzgerald Ga, Fess 56,
Longworth Sc, Hines Sc, Murphy 60,
Kearns so, Foster 46, Thompson "a,
Morgan %, Moore 20, Begg 20, Chal-
mers Is, Stephens ID, Norton 10,
Burton 8, Cable 8.

The Building Trades
Badly DisOrdered
(By Federated Press)

Boston, Mass.-The building trades
here are still badly disordered. Work
ers and master builders are far from
being in harmony. On some jobs the
strike began~last January is still il
progress. Where differences were
settled the wage remains 81 an hour:
on non-union work the men get 9C
cents or less.
Much conflict arises between the
master builders and people from whom
they seek contracts, because of the
variable prices of the masters; they
have no sound basis on which to fig
ure. They know that other walkouts
may come, and demands for wage in
creases; for there is widespread COM
plant among the workers about the
cost of living, which remains high de-
spite frequent newspaper stories tell
ing of reductions. Rents here show
no appreciable decline.
If 81 an hour seems high wage to
a public fed on the inspired news from
the bosses side, it must be remember
ed that the building trades workers
are in the same position as the miners
their wages would be all right if
they got them right along. But they
don't. Bad weather pushes them off
the job for days at time; they must
lose wages between jobs; and in Mas
sachusetts there are eleven holidays
annually on which it is a universal
rule not to labor.
Throughout the long strike the
building trades unions held together
despite increasing internal differences
concerning policy of action.

Illegal For Workers
@. X. For Owners

Charleston, w. Va.-Federal Judge
Anderson has declared that the min
ers' check off is illegal and would
stop coal owners and mine owners
from agreeing that the former with
hold union dues and pay same to the
unions representative
But Judge Anderson ignores the
check off maintained by coal owners
in Logan county, whereby they hold
workers in serfdom. The mine own
ers' check off is shown in a pamphlet
issued from this city by the Logan
county mine owners, in which they
state that the average monthly deduc-
tion per miner, for store account
Company store) is $45.78 Their
check off also includes:
For rent, $500; for coal, $1.05; for
doctors bills, $1.29; for hospital
charges, 49 cents; for blacksmithing
tools, 38 cents; for electric light, SO
cents; for miscellaneous, $9.55.
The difference between the union
miners check off check and the Logan
county coal owners check off is that
the former is voluntary while the lat
ter must be accepted by workers be-
fore they can secure employment.
Judye Anderson outlaws the vol
untalv act and ignores the system
that is based on coercion.

Situation Serious
In Factory Town
(By Federated Press)

Worcester, Mass. = Fifteen miles
south of here, in the factory city of
Webster, is a strike situation which
might furnish the theme for a new
drama to be entitled "The Weavers. y
Four hundred weavers walked out
seven weeks ago in protest against
the order issued by officials at the
Slater Mills that two looms must be
operated by each operative instead of
one. In those seven weeks the strug-
gle has steadily grown in intensity.
Strikebreakers are at work and a
heavy police guard has been installed
at the plant and along the streets
where the non-union men live to pro-
tect them. This guard comprises
eight regular policemen, twenty spe-
cials, four mounted and one motor
cycle policeman.
There have been pitched battles in
the streets, with bricks and stones
and clubs. Eight arrests have been
made. The strikers and their families
are bitter against those who are TAX
ing the bread from their mouths.
Twenty women and girls are on the
picket line daily, wearing streamers
labeled "Strike On"
Some of the city's selectmen are
quoted as saying that if the special
police were not sufficient they would
ask for the State Constabulary.

Gist of the Matter
AN "OPEN" SHOP ADVOCATE EN-
FOLDS PLAN.
Open Shop Never Safe With Sprink-
ling of Union Men In It-SO
Says Big Shop Super
intendent.

New York = The frankest and
clearest exposition of the so-called
"open" shop that has been made by
any of it's advocates can be credited
to Paul R. Ramp, foundry superin-
tendent of the Advance-Rumley COM
pany, Battle Creek, Mich.
Mr.. Ramp writes in the Iron Age,
current issue. This magazine is cir
culated among business men, rather
than Mr.. Average Citizen, who is sup
posed to be scenery when anti-union-
lists stage their well-known drama,
"Our Liberty is Menaced by Organ
lied Labor"
The Battle Creek man makes no at
tempt to fool himself or his readers.
He tells business men that the "open"
shop means no collective bargaining;
that the employer is absolute dictator
of wages and working conditions, and
that it is never safe to employ a
considerable sprinkling of union
men,"
Iron founders are warned that the
establishment of the anti-union shop
is a costly venture, as it is necessary
to "break in' unskilled workers, there
by implying that the Iron Molders' un-
ion has the skilled workers.
"Some times," he says, "it be-
comes necessary to discharge a man
because he complains about price on
his work in order to discourage any
disposition on the part of the men to
try to get fair prices raised.
"Now that you have an open shop,
and you are your own committee and
your own business agent, you must
establish your own methods of max
ing piece work prices, and not at any
time allow the old-time plan of nego-
tiating with the molder for a lower
price prevail. Such actions lead 10
discussions among your men on what
should be paid, and discussion leads
to collective bargaining"
This is a straight-from- the should
er hint that when employers want to
reduce wages they should reduce
them, and not make the mistake of
talking the matter over with employees
as this might lead to united action by
these workers.
Where a worker is dissatisfied with
wages, Mr.. Ramp suggests:
"He (the worker) needs your help
dI IIllS CllllC, JItoO eo ilASI c@o III ~
ouired it in the beginning, and you
must use strenuous efforts to get him
lined up, or you'll be obliged to dis
charge him. Take him in the office
and convince him that he is only in
the primary department of the busi
ness, and that he is of no special value
to you; that he needs you more than
you need him.
"You can finally settle with him by
giving him a certain task to do and
agree that when he can do this task
satisfactorily you will pay him more.
You are losing nothing and are help
ing him to realize that he has a great
deal more to learn; and as he goes
at the work laid out for him his men
tai condition will gradually change
and you have a good man who will
give you no more trouble.
"An open shop is never safe with
considerable sprinkling of union men
in it. There is always the great dan
ger of the shop being quietly organ
ized."
Mr.. Ramps blunt statements are a
refreshing change from the sob stuff
used by other flint-hearts who would
conceal their autocracy by silly ap-
peals to the flag.

Riot Guns and Gas
For the Stock Yards
(By Federated Press)

Chicago = Chicago packers, with
the aid of the Chicago police, appar-
emily are determined to use tear gas
and riot guns to force union packing
house employees to accept their recent
10 per cent wage cut. The boss-owned
Chicago papers cynically announced
that nearly 1000 extra policemen
"have been gathered at the stock
yards with 200 riot guns and half that
number of the new tear bombs or
dered by the department some months
ago to storm possible bandit fortress
es."
twenty-five packers in Chicago ap-
peared before Judge Denis Sullivan of
the Superior Court asking for an in
junction against "all persons engaged
in intimidating, threatening, assault
ing packing house workers who wish
to continue their work" Judge Sulli-
van is noted for his generosity in dis
pensing injunctions.
The packers have made light of the
strike, claimino that it has not SER
iously interfered with production. The
police Of Chicago, on the other hand,
take the matter very seriously and on
the fourth day Of the strike rushed
every available policeman to the
stockyards district.
From Fort Worth, Texas, comes the
report of the shooting of two-one of
whom is expected to die. A Texas
court has issued an injunction re-
straining picketing.
In st. Paul five companies of the
national guard are reported to have
charged pickets with loaded rifles and
fixed bayonets. Many special police
men are on duty and martial law is
limited at.
Disturbances are reported in Omaha
and other packing house centers.

Interest on Bonds
Is Free of Taxation

New York = Wall street is happy
over the discovery that the repeal Of
the excess profits tax in the new rev.
enue bill wipes out the tax on Liberty
bonds, held by corporations. The
bonds were issued with the provision
that their income, or interest, should
be included by corporations when re-
porting their profits, under the ex-
cess profits section of the revenue
act. With the repeal of the excess
profits tax the income from millions
of these Liberty bonds, held by cor
porations; will be free from taxation

Japs Would Turn Sand Into Steel.

A new process by which sand
iron or magnetic sand may be
converted into pig iron and thence
into steel, has been made public in
Japan.
The discovery, the scientists aver,
will not only revolutionize the steel
industry in Japan, but of the world.
The process is carried out by
means of combining the sand-iron
with coke, using hot gas flames and
making ferro coke, from which iron
can be easily taken.
Japan has little or no iron in
any form which may be easily
mined and this fact has made this
country one of the biggest i'm.
porters Of iron especially from
England and the United States.
However. magnetic sand is abun-
dant throughout the empire, but
was quite useless up to the time of
the discovery of the new process.
The discoveries claim that the
new process will make Japan one
of the biggest iron producing
countries Of the world, independent
of England or the United States in
in the matter of iron imports.
