FOR PORTO RICO
Island Workers Protest Against
Passage Of CooIie |mmigra-
tion Bill by Congress.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. s.
Porto Rican organized wage earners
have forwarded to the house immi-
grafton committee at Washington their
protest against the admission of Chi
nese coolies to Hawaii. The unionists
show that coolies in Hawaii will be
detrimental to the life and well being
of hundreds of families of Porto Rican
workers who have been taken from
this island under governmental agree
ment to work on Hawaiian sugar
plantations.
The unionists point out that Porot
Rican sugar cannot compete with
Hawaiian sugar, produced under the
peonage system and that the Ha-
waiian sugar dumped into the United
States will make Porto Rican competi-
tion impossible, thereby "menacing
the great bulk Of agricultural work.
ers Of Porto Rico and driving them to
suffer more hardships and misery.
The sugar industry of Porto Rico
cannot be successfully operated in the
face of such destructive competition
and will be ruined and those depend
ent thereon will be unable to enjoy a
living wage. unless the fundamental
policy of Chinese coolie exclusion from
the possessions and territories of the
United States is strictly observed"

RAILROADS V|0LAT ESTATuTE: -.
They INSISTED CONGRESS PASS

WASHINGTON Sept. s.-The rail-
roads have not lived UP to the Cum
mins-Esch law, declared Congressman
Huddleston III a speech in the house
of representatives.
"They have not" he said, "lived
up to the clause of the act which re-
quires them to operate honestly and
economically, but more serious than
this they have flouted, violated and
evaded it's labor sections. These Sec
tions were placed in the act at the in
stance Of railroads. The employees
unanimously opposed them. The rail-
road lobbyists, by their influence upon
congress, forced the labor sections
down the employees throats. Now the
railroads themselves refuse to obey
those sections.
Time after time the railroads have
openly violated the orders of the rail-
road labor board. Time after time has
the railroad labor board been forced
to call halt on their lawlessness.
'Take the Pennsylvania railroad for
instance. It was ordered to have a
conference with it's employees. It re-
fused to recognize the employees or
ganizations and tried to create a bas-
tard organization of it's own. The rail-
road labor board denounced it's action
and again ordered it to confer with it's
employees. The railroad has not vet
compiled although the time for COM
The labor world., 1921-09-10

p1iance has expired, and as result a
labor disturbance which may rock the
nation is threatened up on that rail-
road system.
''Take the case of the Erie with its
shops at Hornell, N. Y, farmed out to
a. fictitious corporation officered by
railroad officials for the purpose Of
evading the transportation act and the
orders Of the railroad labor board. T.
1.-THE case Of the Erie shops, at
Marion, Ohio. is a shocking illustra-
tion of railroad dishonesty and decep-
tion: The Erie has leased its Marion
shops to dummy corporation, capi-
talized at $1,000, with not enough cap
ital to meet the pay roll for a. single
day. The Erie's master mechanic, un-
der the guise Of an officer of the new
corporation, was continued in charge
Of the shops. Rules were posted re-
quiring employees to submit to a ply
sical examination by the company doc
tor, paying the fee from their own
pockets. All of this for the purpose
OF evading the orders of the railroad
labor board.
How can railroads holding them
selves above the law expect to have
law-abiding employees. More. than
this, how can they expect to hold the
sympathy and confidence Of congress?
How can they expect congress to lend
them the peoples money to relieve
their necessities" ?"

j. S. COMPTROLLER SAYS
BANKERS ARE ON STRIKE

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 8.-The
bankers of this country are on
strike, and are sabotaging the
nations credit, were views cxpre.
ssed, in financial language, by ID.
n. Crissinger, comptroller of the
currency. in an address to the Cot
ton States' Merchants association,
Tho federal official said that the
bank that refused credit on proper
security, or which maintains un.
necessarily high reserves (cash on
hand) ''is just as bad q bank as
the one which loans too freely and
which encourages speculation"
One third. of the national banks
in this country 'tare maintaining
larger cash reserves than are either,
necessary or reasonably justifiable,"
he said.
An appeal was made for the
bankers to use the credit and re-
sources of a community as q social
duty.
While Mr.. Crissinger pleads
with bankers to be just in the use
OF the peoples credit, which has
been sized by them, the A. F. Of L.
declares that this power is too
great for any set OF men and that
the control of credit should be a
government function, because cre-
dit is inherently social.".

STRIKE INSURANCE BL0WSUP;
RECEIVER May Be APPOINTED


BALTIMORE, Sept. S.-The strikeS
Insurance and strikebreaking plan of
the Employers Mutual Insurance and
Service company has hit the rocks.
A commission appointed by the
court reports that the company's liza
bilities exceed it's asserts by. about
s1,ooo,o0o and possibly considerably
more
Circuit Judge Dobler has ordered
that a receiver be appointed for the
company unless it proves it is cap
able Of paying it's debts.
State Insurance Commissioner
Heating was a member Of the COM
mission that investigated the company
under order of the court. The fol-
lowing recommendation was included
in the commissions report:
'That an injunction be issued sus-
pending the business of the company
and that receivers be appointed to
take charge Of the estate and assets
of the company and to administer the
same and wind up its affairs under
the direction Of the honorable court
and that the charter Of said com uany,
as an insurance company, be annulled
and forefeited."
The commission held that the conl-
pany was doing business in violation
of the laws Of the state of Maryland
and had not sufficient assets to carry
on its business; that it was insOlvent
and unable to pay its losses.
The commission indicates tina. the
44-hour strike of the printing: traces
was the final blow to the company
Organized labor has been ceaseiess
in its publicity agitation that the COM
pany is a strikebreaking institution.
This position is sustained by Leroy
Lane, assistant to President Edward
C.Myers of the company, who acknowl-
edged that the company maintained
an employment service to furnish enl-
ployes to employers who were having
labor troubles.
In acknowledging that organized
labor exposed this company Lane
pleaded that employers who had in
sured should waive their claims rather
than permit trade unionists to point
to the latest victory.
II believe the insured would put
beyond any question of indemnity, if
necessary, the moral effect of con-
ttinued operation of the company"
said Mr.. Lane. If receivers are ap-
pointed it will be the biggest feather
in the cap of organized labor that has
ever happened in this country"

ANT|.STRIKE Law FAILS,
SAYS FORMER ADVOCATE

ARKANSAS CITY Kan., Sept.8-
Senator Dick Howard of this colln-
ty' announces his opposition to
Aliens ''can't strike'' law and de-.
clares he will vote. for its repeal
at the next legislature. Senator
Howard voted for the bill.
In an editorial in his paper, the
Arkansas City Traveller, he states
that after two years. observation
he has changed his mind, and he
finds there was no actual cause for
the law; that it has not made good
and that it has increased the
states expenses without benefit
ing anyone:
Senator Howard's views are one
of the many indications that
Aliens star is setting. The hys-
terical public opinion manufac-
tured in the interest of ''can't-
strike" legislation has reached it's
peak, and from now on organized
labOr's opposition to this act will
be considered.
In q few years Allen will be for.
gotten, and the men who shricked
his praise will disowp their, one

Bridge Owners, in 1920, Co..
|ected $56, 165 Excess From
Public, Says Richards.

An excess of 359,165, over a reason.
able return>in revenue derived from
street car, automobile, pedestrian and
vehicular traffic was collected by the
puluth-Superior Bridge company in
1890, according to the brief Of City
Attorney J. B. Richards filed with
Maj. E. H. Marks, United States dis
trjct engineer, yesterday. It will be
sent by Major Marks to the secre-
tary of war at Washington as a
protest against an increase in toll
rates over the Interstate bridge. The
increase was requested by the bridge
company.
The excess is based on "a per cent
OF $775.s7s. the value Of the bridge as
fixed by the valuation bureau of the
amounting to $1S6,233..
City Engineers Figures.
The "a per cent represents the
proper proportion of the entire
strength of the structure required to
carry all traffic other than steam
railway traffic. The figures were OBJ
tained by City Engineer E. X. Coe.
His figures show 76 per cent Of the
strength of the whole structure
necessary to withstand steam rail-
way traffic.
Proper returns on $1S6,233 figured
at per cent, allowing for all
operating expenses, taxes and de-
probation would net $42,861. accord
iEg to the brief. Revenue from street
car, automobile, pedestrian and other
traffic netted $99,026.05 during 1920,

be $56,16 in excess Of what is al
legged to be reasonable return based
on "a per cent.
"More Than it's Share.0
George. c.. Mathews. statistician of
the Wisconsin railroads and ware
house commission, allowed per
cent as a reasonable return to the
bridge company" said Attorney
Richards. 'His figures are liberal.
Nevertheless, he arrived at finan-
cjal result which shows the bridge
company is getting more than it
should be allowed on the basis OF
reasonable charges and the rate
schedule should be reduced rather
than increased"

Prevent Waste, Aim.
BY this method adequate appro-
prlations would be obtained which
would prevent waste and unnecessary
expenditures, he said. A proper ad-
ministration of the fund would be
obtained and the public given knowl-
edge of proposed expenditures be-
fore the money is gone. The funds
are budgeted under the present sys-
tenn, but allow public knowledge of
the expenditure only after it is
made.
Preparation of the budget is only
half of the task, Mr.. Goodrich said.
A constant, scrutiny must be MAIN
tanned to see the purpose of the bud
get is carried out. The league
recommends the division Of depart
ments, listing of activities of de-
partment heads and the character Of
expenditures to be shown, whether
they are for operation and MAIN
tenance, capital outlay or fixed
charges. The league suggests a COM
parlson of amounts spent during past
years with supplementary data to
back each request for departmental
appropriation.
Under the present system depart
ments arrive at a conclusion con-
cerning the amount necessary for the
ensuing years for expenditures by
figuring, well, we spent $4,000 last
year, we will have to have $4,000
this year," Mr.. Goodrich said.

Following several hours of debate
the St. Louis county commissioners
yesterday deferred action on the bud

matter to the board. Directors of
