GROWING
Unemployment Increasing
Rapidly

Washington.-Th United States
bureau of labor statistics announces
increased unemployment in May, as
the result Of reports received from
representative establishments in 13
manufacturing industries and in BIZ
luminous 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 manufact-
uring is the one industry which
shows an increase, 03 per cent, over
May, 1920 The largest decrease, Al
per cent, appears in carbuilding and
repairing. Leather, paper and auto
mobiles show respective decreases of
"a, 34.4 and "a per cent
All of the IA industries show de-
crease in the total amount of the pay
roll for May, 1921, as compared with
May, 1920. Iron and steel lead with
SCI per cent. Paper making decreas-
ed 4S.3 per cent, and leather 45 per

its own committee and adopted the
house bill, which was declared in the
senate to be favored by the packers
Friends of the senate bill accepted
it because it contains the principle of

as the choice between two evils. SEN

Law and order" was the slogan at

R. R. Grundy, representing this

strike "all members of the bodies in

ment was approved on the ground
that if wage earners refuse TO obey
the laws they should not assist in
framing laws. Later, H. " Mckay

the state. This statement was not
objected to. One delegate declared

should consist of suitable moving pic
lures, exhibitions, pamphlets and car

manian delegate urged the formation
of an all-Australian employers feder-
alton.
"The proposed federation should act

Present Condition Of Unemploy-

Workmen During A Lifetime

United States chamber of commerce,
and through other organizations such
as chambers of commerce, etc.
With the tremendous strength they
have acquired through these inter
woven and federated organizations
which they have built up, they are
now endeavoring to prevent Americans
who are wage earners from also en-
joying the right to organize. They
have built up their organizations ap-
parently for the specific purpose of
making it impossible for their en-
ployes to enjoy a similar right. In
substance and in effect they are en-
deavoring to establish in industry the
principle of class distinction.
The right of the employer to organ
ize and the right on his part to pre-
vent the exercise of this right by en-
ployes is part of their program and
method. They have given employ
ment to numerous private detective
agencies; they have Disseminated
against and blacklisted active trade
unionists and in numerous instances
have coerced employers who believed
in collective bargaining with organ
lied employees. The testimony given
by President Grace, of the South
Bethlehem Steel Company, before the
Lockwood committee in New York
city indicated that it was the policy
of his corporation and that of the
United States steel corporation to
refuse to sell structural iron in New
York city and in Philadelphia to build

men, and that it was their policy to
extend this practice throughout the
United States This policy carried the

Washington-In discussing regu-
lation of monopoly in the senate, Mr..
Kenyon of Iowa predicted that upon
this question the great political par
ties will split.
The law maker emphasized the diff
ference between regulating an indi-
vidual business man and regulating a
monopoly.
"If five men had all the shoe busi-
ness of this country practically under
their control, or enough of it to control
it, and made the price whatever they
pleased" he said, "then you would be
getting a business that was reaching
the point of monopoly and that the
government has right to regulate.
81 do not want to see this govern
ment go into the regulating of all
business; but there is distinct line
of demarcation, and it was laid down
by old Lord Hale nearly 100 years
ago, and the supreme court of the
United States has sustained it.
"Shall we regulate all business
No; that would be failure. Regu-
late some business Yes. What bus
mess? The business which the su-
preme court has said is charged with
a public use.

A declaration of principles, coupled
with an exposure of the newest "indi-
vidual contract" devised by labor hat
ing employers, was adopted by the
metal trades department of the
American Federation of Labor in con-
vention at Denver, Colo. The declar-
alton, in the form of a committee re-
port, also points out that the employ
ers, by their policy are endeavoring
to establish in industry the principle
of class distinction.
The declaration in full follows:
Your committee is Of the opinion
that no question affecting the rights
of wage earners as workers in our
industries or as citizens is of greater
Importance at this time than that pre-
sented by the so-called open shop or
America plan and the conditions ac-
companying the effort to establish
them. These institutions which we
call American and upon which all OF
our rights and liberties have been
established are readily traced to two
fundamental principles adopted by the
founders of our country. They realiz-
ed that human freedom and liberty of
action could not exist unless it was
recognized that all men were born en-
titled to equal rights and equality OF
opportunities and that no government
of free men could exist without the
consent of the governed only underlie
all of our American institutions. The
effort of the so-called open shoppers
or American planners is to set aside
or overthrow these two fundamental
principles of human rights. The advo-
Gates of the so-called open shop have
availed themselves of the right of or
ganization; not only this, but of fed

EMPLOYERS WASTE

Official

Washington.-Eno wastes in
American industry must stop, declar-
ed L. w. Wallace, executive secretary
of the American engineering council,
in speech to local business men.
The speaker referred to recent
report by the engineers, which shows
how wasteful American employers
are.
One typical clothing plant, accord
ing to this report, manufactures 80
models of mems and young mems
suits; sc per cent Of the plants an
nual output, however, is devoted to
seven models of young mems suits.
Twenty-seven models are therefore
produced at great waste and with
little reasonable benefit to the buyer.
Manufacturers in interrelated in
dustries do business with little knowl-
edge of each others requirements.

no cooperation between woolen mills
and the clothing manufacturers who
use their product"
Overcapacity of productive equip
ment to meet the needs of the market
was found to be another great cause
of waste The printing industry has
a productive capacity of twice it's out
put, and other industries could in
crease their production by half if their
entire productive capacity were used.
"Much of the labor unrest" said
the speaker, comes from the failure
of management to run it's business
properly. The clothing and building
industries are two of the most con-
spicuous examples of loose productive
processes, both operating as seasonal
employments and with many causes
of waste
american industry must pull itself
together and cut out these great
wastes if we are not to have recur-
ring and increasing social unrest, and
if we are to meet European compe-
tition with low cost labor without
lowering the purchasing power of the
American people"
