Chicago Workers
Called Serfs of
Business Agents

That Grating Bosses and
Singing Gangs Rule;
Legislative Curbs Urged

CHICAGO, May 6.-Drastic legisla-
ton to curb crooked business agents
and to remove the tyranny of the false
representatives of union labor" is be-
ing considered by the Daley building
investigation commission as the result
of testimony of several ceic!als Of
labor unions.
The officials to-day admitted to the
commission that conditions are vicious
in local building trade bodies; that the
men have no redress under the rules
and regulations of the unions and that
they are virtual serfs of the business
agents, who have intrenched them
selves in their POSITIONS by hired gangs
of labor sluggers and who have built
up political system so powerful that
the rank and file of the unions are
afraid, and thus unable to raise their
voices in protest.
1--WE asked the officials why no united
effort was made to throw the men OUT
said Senator Daley. "They replied that
each business agent controls his par
ticular territory with an iron hand, and
that If any one so much as dared TO

of bodily harm
When specific cases of graft come
up in the so-called meetings no one
has the courage to take the initiative
to clean out the locals because of this
terrorism. When workmen who are
forced to quit jobs so that the business
agents can collect graft complain that
they are out of work, they are told
that they are lucky to be allowed to
work in Chicago at all.
Some legislation powerful enough
to put stop to this despotism must
be adopted. We will lend our best
efforts to such measures"
George A. Trude, former judge of
the Superior Court, is to appear be-
fore the Daley commission tomorrow
morning at IL o'clock. Evidence has
been presented that $4,000 was paid
out in connection with the construc-
tiou of loop building. Mr.. Trude has
denied to members of the commission
any connection with the affair.

Mr. Piez said the emergency feet
was not the work of one man, adding
that General Goethals had the biggest
Job because he had no organization,
He referred to the work of Admirals
Capps and Bowles and to the stories of
graft that had been spread broadcast.
He spoke of Mr.. Schwabs work among
the laboring men and of the spirit Of
loyalty and patriotism he had inspired
in them. The real inspiration of the
Fleet Corporation, he said. had been

the achievement,
Mr.. Schwab Gives Thanks
/ Mr.. Schwab said with emotion that
he did not regard this as typical
speech-making affair. Those present
had come from all over the land and
they had set him hard task TO live
up to all they had said of him. If he
were President and had the power the
man ne would choose to head the Ship
ping Board would be Charlie Piez.
Mr.. Schwab then paid warm tribute
to the men with whom he had come
in contact while with the Fleet Cor
poration. He named in turn Mr.. Cut
hell, Admiral Bowles, Mr.. Baruch,
Congressman Sherley Swagar, General
Goethale and Mr.. Piez.
Mr.. Schwab concluded by expressing
his thanks for the gift. This, he said,
would be kept as permanent memori-
al of their friendship and esteem.
General Goethals made a brief ad-
dress. He said that when Mr.. Schwab
asked HIM what he wanted and he said

plenty of them.

any other nation necessarily subject
| American vessels to very serious dis
advantage, estimated at per cent on
the capital investment.
THE compulsory advance in each
foreign port of call of half wages
earned seriously affects the working
OF ships and leads to expensive delays.
The burden of these laws should be
removed in the interests of the sea-
men as we'll as the shipowners. Their
removal would appreciably improve cur
position and make it unnecessary to
discriminate against our competitors
by legislation, which they are in posi-
ton TO adopt similarly against Ameri-
can goods and vessels in foreign ports,
since OF necessity we must have return
as well as outward cargoes. Congress
has declared in favor of a policy of
private ownership 'as soon as prac-
tlcabie,' but it is not practicable TO sell
| the SHIPS In the United States in adj
vance OF legislation which will make it
possible TO operate under conditions
which are sure to prevail as soon as
the abnormal situation resulting from
| the war comes to an end.
1T therefore seems that the problem
of the moment is the formulation of
/ measures which will put American
ships and American shipbuilding upon

cessfully with the ships of other ma
tions. To sell the feet which cost the
taxpayers of the United States more
than three billion dollars without iegis-
lation revising out navigation laws, is
impossible. Without this legislation
and revision making it profitable to
cur citizens to operate these ships, it
will mean that these ships will ulti-
mately fall into disuse or find their
way into the hands of foreigners at
breaking-up prices, to confront us later
with real examples in cost Of opera
ton based upon the then capital
charges.
"A large amount of tonnage would
undoubtedly have been disposed of q
year or more after the armistice il the
opportunity had been taken advantage
of, but it was not, and, while the cost
of the ships will be written down
eventually TO reasonable figure, the
ships cannot be sold until a market
exists for them, and until that time
investors will not furnish the money
to buy them. Meanwhile they will at
least save the government large outlay
in carrying on their present plan Of
operation If chartered to shipping

on the shoulders and fastened with
quaint Chinese buttons and loops.
Line the material, If it be velvet, with
a contrasting shade Of georgette or
chiffon.
Cut slit at each side Of the front
