HENRY FORD

Last week the Ford Motor Com
pany made another cut of S15 to 500
on all Ford cars. Several deep slashes
have been made by Ford the past few
months on all his cars, but no WORD
has been uttered about slashing or
cutting wages. Very few men or
concerns take in as much or pay out
as much money as does Henry Ford,
and no man nor concern pays as high
wages as does Henry Ford, yet we
never hear chirp from Henry Ford
about wages being too high. Henry
Ford makes and sells more automo-
biles than all tn e other automobile
manufacturers in the country put to-
gether, and why? One of the great
est reasons and causes is that Henry
Ford simply continues going on pay.

New York.--The solidarity of $4,000
ladies' garment workers in this city
has checked labor "defationists" in
this industry, and an agreement has
been entered into between these
workers and their organized employ
ers which provides that there will be
no increase in hours or decrease in
pay during the present season.
A joint commission will be appoint
ed to study shop and production rec
ords with view of working out meas

productivity of the workers. The
commission shall also act as a joint
appeal committee and shall pass upon
all complaints of employers and en-
ployed regarding the adequacy of pro-
duction. Both sides agree to abide
by the decision of the commission.

SCHOOL TEACHERS
Seldom in On Political End

Wilmette, Ill.--If there is "pro-
fessionalA dignity" associated with
teaching why are not teachers ac-
corded the same treatment accorded
other professions, ask officers of the
American Federation of Teachers in
the official bulletin of that organiza-
ton.
"a year or so ago." these trade
unionists say, several well known
opponents of the American Federation
of Teachers, who had won for them
selves the title of great educators,
had much to say about the profession
al dignity of teachers and tried to
compare them with doctors and law
yers. The comparison is, of course,
dismal failure from every angle.
Would that such a comparison could
be made. Who ever heard of teachers
serving on boards of education, in mu
nicipal offices, state legislatures or
congress, while still engaged in their
vocation? The majority of all office
holders in the United States are law
yers The medical profession is well
| represented. To these are accorded
all the rights of citizenship. Who
ever heard of lawyers being disbarred,
or doctors losing their licenses be-
cause of the participation in political
activities? Any attempt to place
teachers in the same category is not
only sickening humor, but is obviously
insincere."

HOW 1T WORKS OUT

The labor hating press opines that
the railroad workers should willingly
and gratefully accept a greater re-
duction than twelve per cent, as they
received an increase during federal
control of over two hundred per cent.
They further allow that twelve per
cent is so little that it will do "the
country" no good and claims that the
measly twelve per cent shows up as
very small as compared with 200 per
cent.
The statement that wages of rail-
road workers increased two hundred
per cent during government control is
not fact, but if it were, a twelve
per cent decrease in the total wage
is considerably more than twelve
per cent in the increases alleged to
have been granted. If the percentage
increase was as stated-two hundred
per cent-then a man earning 500
before such increase would be earn
ing $500. A reduction of twelve per
cent of $500 would mean the loss of
$50, while reduction of twelve per
cent in the increase said to have been
ted-$200-would amount to S24.
AS the average pay of the railroad
worker is not now and never has been
over $140 per month, twelve per
cent reduction means the loss of about
SIT each month by the railroad work
ers. And just remember that many
are paid considerably less than $140
per month. There's many a man
working for the railroads who makes
less than 1000 a year, and deducting
twelve per cent from that sum means
the loss of $120. The poorest paid
employees are the ones hit the hard
est, and in many instances they lose
more than twelve per cent. When you
are paying rent, sending children te
school and trying to get by, $120 is
no measly sum. The glib newspaper
hack who wrote the junk referred te
above would howl like an Indian il
he had to submit to the loss of $120
but, then, what's he hired for if not

B. & o. OK'S LOCAL UNIONS

agreement. In Chicago and New
York the voices for Reputation were
drowned at once. Other cities follow
ed rapidly. The position of the union
was unimpeachable. 1t stood for
keeping the pledge. 1t stood for the
recognition of democratic practice. 1t
stood for the joint agreement. 1t
stood for order and discipline and
honor in industry.
There has been little comment in
the American newspapers - them
selves not affected by the situation
on this effort to violate an agreement.
Had the union been the offending
party there would have been chorus
of condemnation from coast to coast.
But even in the absence of the con-
demnation that would have been
heaped upon working peole, all fair
Judges and all who strive for progress
through the orderly means of nego-
tiation and agreement, will rejoice in
the vindication of the agreement in
this instance and will unerringly place
the blame for the attempted repudia-
ton.

richly merited, and they have ad-
vanced the workers of their trade g

which trade unionism forever turns

WAR DEATHS
And Pensions Reach EnOr-
nous Figures

Washington.-In discussing legisla-
tion for disabled soldiers who fought
in the world war, Congressman Sweet,
of Iowa, presented official statistics
on the civil war and the one that has
just ended. In the civil war there
were 2,772,40 Union troops engaged,
and in the world war there were
4,800,000 soldiers, sailors and marines
engaged. Of the latter, 2,086,000
went overseas, and 100000 fought in
France.
There were 115,5OO deaths in the
world war, divided as follows: Bat
tie deaths, $4,000; wounded overseas,
100000; died from disease, $500.
There were 349,9A deaths among
the Union troops in the civil war,
divided as follows: Killed in battle
67,058; died of wounds, 43,012; died
of disease, 1920; died from other
causes-accidents, in prisons, etc
40,154.
Congressman Sweet showed that
the total amount of pensions paid
by the government from 1890 to 1919
inclusive, and not including pensions
paid to world war veterans, is S.,
| 617, ,483, ,12711. This does not include
cost of administering the pension
system, which totaled $135, ,S98,717.6t
during the period 1866-1919.

KEEPING THE PLEDGE

Measured in terms Of normal advan-
tage the effort of the employing print
RS, through their organization, to dis
honor and disavow the agreement en-
tered into with the international
Typographical Union for the estab-
lishment of the forty-four- hour week,
has cost them dearly.
Measured in any other terms it can
scarcely have been less expensive. The
employing book and job printers who
were involved have lost their fight.
More than year ago the employers
and the workers, through their re-
spective organizations, meeting in con-
ference according to their established
practice, agred that on May /, 1921,
the forty-four-hou week should be
established. 1t was an excellent exam
pie of collectiv bargaining and joint
agreement.
With the passing of time the en-
ployers began to change their opinion,
doubtless because of the general cam
paign then being waged to weaken and
destroy organized labor. Doubtless
the employing printers thought the
time opportune to join what had the
appearance of strong movement tC
restore the dominance of employers
over workers.
Long before the date set for inaug-
uration of the forty-four-hou week
the employers announced that, for one
shallow reason or another, they were
not bound by the agreement and that
| it would not be honored. What was
proposed was a shameless remuneration
of a pledge, the reputation of con-
tract.
1t is credit to the strength, solidar-
ity and discipline of the international
Typographical Union, that those who
sought to bring dishonor upon con.
tract have been unable to succeed
They were defeated before the contest
began.
The union men and women in the
Typographical Union determined tt
protect the agreement and to refuse
to give their services except under
the terms therein agreed upon. Theil
| decision was to refuse to work il
shops that repudiated that agreement
At the outset but few more tha,
5000 workers were compelled to thu,
register their protest against dis
honor. This number decreased rapid
ly. Employers found their position
untenable. The vantage ground of al
untruth is difficult to hold. The grea
cities speedily agreed to abide by tn

A N N
URGE CHEAPER DIET

Atlantic City, N. 1.-THE American
people dine too luxuriously, said DR..
Alonzo E. Taylor, of the University
of Pennsylvania, in his address to
cracker and biscuit manufacturers.
This condition, the speaker declar-
ed, will make it impossible for us to
pay our war debts. The solution is
a cereal diet. The cracker manufact-
urers cheered the suggestion-they
are intensely interested in America
paying off its debt.
Prof. Taylor insisted that this ma
tion can not expect to compete with
other countries who are saving on
their food bills.
In addition to a cheaper diet, these
business men favored the anti-union
shop and sales tax to replace the
excess profits tax.

MUZZLING NO GOOD

The county commissioners have
taken action to check the public
meetings in front of the court house
by so-called radical speakers. Of
course if some of these speakers be-
come personal and abusive in their re-
marks they should be stopped, but
the surest way to make any of these
speakers strong with a certain ele-
ment is to "muzzle" or Jail them,
This makes martyrs of them with a
few, and is just the sort of recogni-
ton they ask. To let them talk them
selves out and wear themselves out
with their hearers is the best cure for
radical speakers.
