Non-Union Ship Back

New York-After covering 800
miles of her voyage to South America,
the big Munson liner, Huron, was
forced to return to this city with 140
passengers. Because of the marine
engineers -seamen's strike, the ship
was manned by strikebreakers and
the captain feared to risk the pas
sengers and cargo.
The Huron's return is proof, trade
unionists declare, that strikebreakers
are not competent to hold licenses is
sued to them by the government.
Only recently the steamer Pocahontas
cleared from Boston, but was towed
back to port by revenue cutter. Ship
owners are giving little publicity to
these Incidents, which endanger life
and property.

Would Like to Know

Washington-"We would like to
know" says the all-American CO.
operative commission, in it's press
bulletin, "why bread still sells at war
prices in most of the cities of the
country although wheat has fallen to
one-half its last years price, so that
the wheat in a pound loaf of bread
now costs but % cents.
owe would like to know why coal
that sells for $3.50 a ton at the mine
costs us $3.50 by the time we coax
it into our cellar. Of course, we do
not suspect that the mine owners are
still making their 200 to 1000 per cent
war profits.
"We would like to know where the
difference goes between the $115 that
the farmer gets for a whole beef hide
and the SO to $40 we have to pay for
pair of shoes. This enormous dis
crepancy cannot be attributed to la
Dor costs. According to the figures
SuDIIllCCcu W d government COIIIIulS-
sion, the profits of the shoe industry
are approximately five times the total
labor cost and one-third the total
price of shoes. In order to maintain
high prices, some shoe factories are
now shutting down because of 'over-
production although recent Mas
sachusetts investigation reveals that
thousands of shoe factory employees
in that state are themselves in need
of shoes.
"There are lot of things we would
like to know, but we do not suppose
we ever shall know them until the
workers of farm and mine and rail
and factory who produce and trans
port the nations wealth, cooperate
to demand the abolition of monopoly
privileges and to secure the distribu-
tion of the fruits of industry to those
who labor to create them"

How Packers GOuge

Washington - How Chicago meat
packers have forced farmers prices
down to prewar levels while uphold
ing their own prices, was shown by
Congressman Mclaughlin of Me-
braska, who quoted from the National
Provisioner, published by the meat
packers.
In the second week in April, 1921,
the average price of cattle on hoof
in the Chicago market had fallen to
$8.25 a hundred. This is the same
price at which they sold the first week
in February, 1915. The first week in
February, 1914, the average price was
$3.50.
The wholesale price of whole dres-
sed hogs advanced 1866 per cent dur
ing the same period, while large in
creases are recorded in every product
of beef and pork.

Canadian Sales Tax
Proves a Boomer"

New York-The sales tax in Canada
is not substitute but is an addition
al tax on business profits, writes W..
G. Gates, Canadian correspondent to
Commerce and Finance.
Americans who imagine that the
Canadian experiment throws a flood
of light on the sales and turnover
taxes will probably be disappointed" F"
says the correspondent.
"The one sure thing demonstrated
by the 10 months experiment up to
March 81 is that the tax has not
produced the revenue expected. Our
minister of finance, like Moses, struck
the rock, but there was no great out
rush of water, nothing more than a
trickle equal to less than 10 per cent
of the total revenue. Another fact
demonstrated is that the tax can
never be counted on as a major source
of revenue.
"The sales tax consists of l per
cent on sales by manufacturers and
wholesalers, or jobbers, and impor-
tations at their dutiable value.
"Canada's experience may be taken
as fairly good evidence that estimates
of probable returns from either the
sales or the turnover taxes have been
much exaggerated. Apparently they
have been based too much on the
figures, not Of a normal period, but
of one of marked imitation.
"While Americans may see in the
results of the Canadian experiment
material for guidance in shaping their
own policy, they may well hesitate
before jumping to the conclusion that
because this method of taxation is
considered necessary in Canada, there
fore it is desirable in the United
States.
"For one thing, Canada needs
revenue much more badly than does
the Republic"

Compensation Law

Washington-In urging a compul-
sorry workmen's compensation law for
the District of Columbia, Edgar Wal
lace, A. F. of L. legislative repre-
sentative, explained to congressional
committee how business men evade
voluntary compensation laws. He
said trade unions are compelled to
employ skilled attorneys to secure
justice when private liability COM
panies are permitted to operate.
eff the organized workers are
forced, for the protection of their
members, to secure adequate legal
help, what then is the status of the
unorganized workers." he asked.
"To my knowledge the compensa-
ton law has been nullified by corps
of expert claim agents employed by
the insurance companies and by the
Vaccinations of the very competent
lawyers that the insurance companies
employ to save the payments that the
insurance companies have agreed to
assume"
The witness made the point that
the proposed law considers the fami-
lies of workers who might be killed
or injured, while a private insurance
company, considering only the value
of the premium as compared to the
risk, would ask lighter premiums in
plants or industries where the work
men employed have no dependent
relatives.
"The result would be to discourage
the employment of married men, men
with families, and would work to the
detriment of the country as whole, /"
the trade unionist said.

BOSSES BUNCOMB
COMPANY "UNIONS" CAN NOT
CHECK LABOR
High Sounding Titles Should Not
Lead Workers to Tolerate Boss
cOntrq Jed Fake Labor
Organizations

Chicago-"In their efforts to estab-
lish the anti-union shop, and with the
hope of beating legitimate trade union
organizations, several of the larger
employers of labor have instituted
company unions writes George w.
Perkins, editor of the Cigar Makers
Official Journal.
GAS soon as any indication pointed
toward a desire on the part of the
workers for organization the en-
ployer saw the need of union and
proceeded at once to organize it.
Elections were held and representa-
tives CD of the workers were elected
to sit in council with their employer.
"Various high sounding but mean
ingless names were given these coun-
ellis. In at least one concern they
have what they are pleased to call

ever, that the employer is the 'su-
preme court and has the final say
"In none of these handmade en-
ployers' unions have the workers
been able to protect either their hours
of labor, their working conditions or
their wages. 1t was never intended
that they should. In fact, it was
with the aim of destroying collective
bargaining that these various schemes
are countenanced. 1t is to circum-
vent real trade union activities that
these shams are permitted to live and
have being.
"When the workers realize that
company union is only for the COM
pany's protection and that any hopes
they may have as workers to better
their economic conditions must neces-
sarily be predicated on membership
in the regular organization of their
own particular trade, the sooner they
will be able to solve the age-long
problem of the struggle for exist
ence."

POpuliSt Theories
Revived by Banker

Washington - Government ware
houses, urged by Populists 80 years
ago, was favored by President Kent,
of the Passaic IN. J.) Merchants
bank at meeting of the newly
formed stable money league.
The meeting was attended by eco
nomists, bankers and lawmakers. In
stead of hooting the Passaic citizen,
as was the custom 80 years ago when
a so-called "bewhiskered populist"
spoke, Mr.. Kent was elected vice
president of the organization.
He favored a plan to establish gov
ernment warehouses wherein could be
deposited iron, coal, cloth, wheat,
leather and similar commodities that
are susceptible to storage without
undue deterioration within a limited
period.
The speaker said there are strong
movements abroad at the present
time to establish such warehouses in
order to take the control of vital pro-
ducts out of the hands of certain
classes of middlemen.
"The number of commodities Sc
lected should be small enough to
keep the scheme simple" said the
speaker "It should be large enough
to guard against any violent effect,
upon the value of the aggregate due
to failure in the crop, such as cot
ton, or to crop failure in a geogra-
phical section, such as a readily
imaginable case in which the south
might have a very bad year in cot
ton, tobacco and grain.
"A suitable composite unit should
be constructed, perhaps with refer
ence to the average consumption of
a normal family for a year. A cer-
tifcate should be issued upon the
deposit of due proportions of the
chosen commodity. The dollar
should then be defined in terms of
the unit aggregate of these COM
modities and a fraction of the unit /"

HOUSE SHORTAGE

Conspiracies Among Building Trades

giles Attempt to Solve House
Shortage Problem

New k-Combinations of busi-
ness men grip this nation, declared
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
Lockwood investigating commission.
If he had the power to subpoena that
is given to counsel to congressional
investigating committee, he said, he
could keep on presenting evidence OF
building trade conspiracies for at least
two years, as he has uncovered evil
dence that the entire nation is victim
lied by associations of dealers which
maintain prices Of extortionate levels
and strangle attempts at solution OF
the housing shortage everywhere.
"They are all powerful" he said.
at is still possible to reach the little
fellows, but the biggest and most
dangerous of them apparently are al
ready above and beyond the law as it
stands.
"I am no alarmist and | have un-
bounded confidence in the soundness
of our institutions, but my great fear
is that the country either does not
sufficiently realize or has become cal
lous to the perils that lurk in the So
cial unrest that is being accentuated
by the greed and piracy of these COM
binations that infest the land from
end to end.

single article that enters into build
ing construction that is not the sub
ject of combination, and / have every
reason to believe that this is true of
at least one-half of all the vast in
dustries of the United States outside
of the building trades.
"The activities of these combines
that are unlawful should receive the
same kind of attention that the secret
service gives to counterfeiters, or that
expert safe crackers receive at the
hands of the police"

BUTLER SIGNS CONTRACT
Popular Baker, Becoming Disguised With Die
tates of Self-Constituted Bosses, Union
ICES His Shop
By HAPSBURG LIEBE

William Butler, proprietor of the
bakery on Eddy street and also the
Central Bakery on West Church
street, became so disguised with the
arbitrary actions of certain boss
bakers in the city that he decided to
quit the open shop gang and return
to the harmonious and pleasant condi-
tions which have for years prevailed
in his business. He signed the con-
tract of the Bakers Local Monday
morning and is once again running
straight union shop.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-06-10

Mr.. Butler has conducted his busi-
ness for many years, and established
large family trade in all sections
of the city, this will undoubtedly be
greatly increased by the action just
taken as the Bakers Local and organ
lied labor generally will gladly render
him all possible assistance.
No union man should permit loaf
of bread not bearing the label to
enter his home, and by strict ad-
herance to this rule the unfair
bakeries can either be brought to
terms or forced out of existence.

United States and that term includes
the salaried men and women about
$210 Some officials believe that it
costs more than that.
