FEDERATION AIMS 4
TO CUT OUT. SEX:
RACE PART AL|TY
Printers 4.Hour ! Fight In.
dorsed;; Initiation Of Six
. Hour Day Refused

DENVER, Colo. June 30.-The
American Federation of Labor has or
dered conference to be called within
80 days to discuss the question of
eliminating race and sex restrictions
in those International union consti-
tutions where they still are found.
The decision to follow this course
is triumph of voluntary action and
a tribute to the serviceability Of vol
untary action as a principle.
The convention also endorsed the
44-hour fight in the commercial
printing industry and condemned the
employing commercial printers for
breach of agre ement.
Must Keep Pledges.
BY this action the convention went
on record for the faithful observance
of collective agreements. The vote
was interpreted to mean that con-
tractual obligations must not be dis
regarded.
In the same session the convention
refused to adopt resolution calling
for the six-hour work day. The con-
vention view was that short work.
day movements must be initiated by
the affiliated unions themselves. The
action means that the federation will
not initiate such movements, but that
the autonomy of affiliated unions
places such matters under their con-
troll.
Any affiliated body. however, that
undertakes shorter work day, move
ment in its own field will have fed
GRAFTON support, according to the &C.
ton Of today.
The delegates went through two
roll calls on the question of amend
ing the constitution to change the
convention time from June to Octo-
Der, which was defeated. and the ques-
ton of leaving the choice of the con-
ventlon city to the executive council.
This also was defeated and the con-
vention named the convention city as
Cincinnati.

STATE REFUSES WOMEN
over $12 PER week

MINNEAPOLIS, June 3d. The
state minimum wage commission has
refused to review it's award of $12 a
week for working women in this state,
and Editor Cramer of the Minneapo-
lis Labor Review says:
This is q remarkable contrast to
the increasing rates which are being
granted to public service corporations
whenever they request Them. These
pirates of industry maintain that they
are entitled to fair return upon all
the watered stock they succeed in
pumping into their enterprises, and
that the public is their, legitimate prey
to bring this about.
"But what about a legitimate re-
turn to working women investing their
lives in industry? Is $12 a: week a.
fair return on a. life invested in an
industry owned by some one else? :.
The decis sion should arouse work.
ing women to realize that the only
way they will get justice out of indus
try is to organize into unions"

WASHINGTON, June 80. 49, The
United States bureau of labor statis-

ment in May as the result of reports
received from representative establish
ments in 13 manufacturing industries
and in bituminous coal mining.
Comparing these figures with those
for Identical establishments for May,
last year, it appears, says the bureau,
there were decreases in the number
OF persons employed. Cigar manufac-
turing is the one industry which shows
an increase. 0.3 per cent, over May.
1920. The largest decrease, II per
cent, appears in car building and re-.
pairing. Leather, paper and automo-
blles show respective decreases of 81,
34.4 and "a per cent.
All of the IA industries show a de-
crease In the total amount Of the pay
roll for May. 1921, as compared with

TEACHERS WIN LIBEL
SUITS AGAINST CHIEF

FRESNO, CAL, June 3o.-Three
pubic school teachers in this civ
nave won their libel suit against Je-
rome .. Cross, who was recently oust.
ed from the office of superintendent
of schools.
Last year Cross dismissed the teach
ers for professional incapacity." The
real cause was their membership in
tne teachers union. They based their
libel claim on the ground that the
records show they are competent
u a h ers and Cross statement
amounted to libel, as it tended to
lnJure them in the pursuit of their
calling. Organized labor in this state
came to. the aid of the injured teach
ers and generously furnished funds
Tor the law suit. After the iurv rem
dered verdict in favor of the first
teacher, Cross coded the cases of the
other two.
The superintendent recently secured
notorlety by his statement that the
way to handle organized teachers was
with a gatling gun or a baseball bat.

Publicity and buying power are two

mitted to the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
A string Of cooperative newspapers
will be urged as we'll as a $4,000, 900
publicity campaign in the newspapers
and magazines.
A nationwide campaign to pur-
chase only union-made goods is
planned under the direction of the
union label trades department of the
federation.
Labor's purchasing power amounts
to $4,00O,000,000 a year, according to
J. H. Manning, secretary Of the de-
partment, and to use this against the
open shop" employers will be ''strik-
ing the most tremendous blow labor
has ever administered in it's war
against the interests Manning de-
clared. ..
All departments in the federation
have plans for a closer amalgama-
ton of crafts in each industry to en-
able them to operate, in effect, as
lone big union" in movements to re-
duce wages or working standards.
Although the metal trades depart
ment turned down a resolution Of the
International Association of Machin-
ists for lone compact union' in the
metal trades following charges that
tho one big union ADVOCATED by the
reds' was intended. the department
adopted another resolution which is
similar to providing for conference
to be held within the next two months
to draft a program for closer ANAL
gamation of the metal trades for
united action on wage reductions and
other matters affecting the whole in

union AGENTS BARRED.
FROM u. 5. STEAMSHIPS

WASHINGTON, June 39.-Efforts
of the United States shipping board to
establish anti-union conditions on gov
ernment-owned vessels has. made q
settlement of the seamen's strike inn
possible.
The board insists that representa-
tives of the seamen be barred from
all docks and ships, and that an agree
ment be signed for only six months.
The first demand is aimed directly at
the Seamen's unio1- and is of more
Importance to these workers than a
proposed IS per cent wage decrease.
The unions representatives show that
seamen live on the ships, and to pro-
hibit visits to them is to reveal a pur-
pose most transparent.
The union does not ask that these
visits be made when work would be
interfered with, for the PLAN submit
ted to the shipping board provides
that the visits shall be made at time
of paying off land at such other times
as are agreeable to the representa-
tives of the owners. but under no con-
sideration shall representatives of the
organization interfere with the men at
work."
Heretofore, union representatives
have been permitted to visit the ships.
The seamen refuse to accept a six
months agreement because it would
expire at the 'dullest period Of the
year.
The shipping boards anti-union at
titude is in line with it's refusal to
submit the entire question to the
President, and their refusal to agree
to give preference in employment to
American citizens, with second prefer
ence to seamen who have declared
their intention of lecoming citizens.
