FORGET PROMISES

London, England-The present un-
employed problem again reminds
trade unionists of the historic confer
ence Of employers and employees, held
two years ago in this city. The meet
ing was addressed by Premier Lloyd
George and the people Of Great
Britain and the world were notified
that at last an understanding between
capital (capitalists) and labor" was
in sight. Lloyd George stated that
whatever was agreed upon he would
at once give the force of law.
The conference agreed on maxi
mum hours, minimum wages, method
of preventing unemployment, or,
alternatively, providing adequate
maintenance while unemployed or
partially employed. A joint indus
trial parliament was also agreed to.
This was intended to settle differences
between employer and employed be-
fore they reached the acute stage.
The government has forgotten, the

THE RAILROAD SITUATION
By Charles NJ. Kelley

Washington, D. C.-The gravity of
the situation facing the railroads is
emphasized by several recent develop
ments.
The much praised transportation
act, written by railroad attorneys and
enacted under the compulsion of a
powerful railroad lobby, has not solved
any problems, and it will not solve
them.
According to the highest authorities
on the subject, they are facing bank
ruptcy. Private ownership is totter-
ing to its fall. Private management
cannot meet the responsibility that it
has assumed.
1t is admitted that the highest
rates in history are not sufficient to
meet the railroads financial needs
There has been a consistent and
alarming decrease of net returns,
which now are at the vanishing point.
A demand has been made to the
Railroad Labor Board that the ma
tional agreement governing Wolhlng
conditions shall be abrogated, as a
| preliminary to a reduction Of wages.
| Having failed to take their profits
out Of the people, the railroad man
ayers now hope to get them from the
sweat Of the workers.
There is much to be said about
graft and waste, but Investigations
now under way are taking care Of
that subject. When the facts are
known it will be fairly well'established
that evils inherent in railroad man
agement are in a very great II aasGre
responsible for the plight Of the car
riers. The payment Of excessive and
unwarranted charges for repairs and
equipment cuts heavily into railroad
earnings, and the rate structure is
not adequate to meet the legitimate
operating costs and wholesale diver
sion of funds into illegitimate chan
nels.
Railroad workers, familiar with the
situation, will not calmly submit to
reduced wages and return to the old
conditions without a vigorous protest.
They are not willing that they shall
further suffer from railroad ineffcien-
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-02-11

We and worse. AS a substantial part of
the public, they are suffering from
the high transportation rates. To ask
them to take on additional burdens is
asking more than they are willing to
give.
Before wages are reduced, the
workers contend, there should be
reduction of transportation cost.
There must also be an elimination of
waste and graft. There must be
financial integrity as well as man
agerial ability. The railroads must be
placed upon a basis Of public service
in contladistinction to a basis Of
profit for those who manipulate and
exploit them.
All that the managers have to sug-
gest in the way Of solutions is lower
wages for workers and increased
burdens for the public. They turn a
deaf ear to all suggestions that sound
business principles and the hard and
fast laws Of economics be applied to
the important subject Of transporta-
tiOn They are hunting panaceas that
will enable them to keep control Of
the carriers until all their purposes
have been realized. When the rail
roads went back to Wall street care
ful economists predicted that the ar
rangement could not last more than
two years. Everything now points to
the fulfilling Of this prophecy. If the
railroads continue for another year
as they are now travelling, they will
be utterly demoralized and will be the
leading factor in the disastrous panic
this nation has experienced.
The solution of the railroad ques-
tion is government ownership and
democratic operation. The railroads
belong to the people and should be
maintained in the interest Of the peo-
pie. The Wall street element must be
eliminated-and with it waste, inef-
ficiency and graft. An industry that
cannot pay its workers living wage,
that imposes crushing burdens upon
the public, that is unable to provide
satisfactory service, and is constant
ly begging for help from the govern
ment is not entitled to any sympathy
or support.

"BIG BIZ" IS WARNED

Philadelphia-"Are We Facing In
dustrial War;" asks the Catholic
Standard and Times in a leading
editorial on the anti-trade union cam
paign of employers in this country.
"This drive" says the editor, "is
considered by the unions, and that
not without very good reason, as an
attack upon unionism, and as a de-
liberate attempt to undermine the or
ganized labor movement. 1t is re-
garded by them as challenge and a
declaration of war. Naturally, this
will arouse resentment among the la
borers, for they are well aware that
most of the advantages they at pres
ent enjoy are due to the concerted
efforts of the unions. The unions are
dear to them and they have pinned
their faith to them.
"In this attempt the employers may
overreach themselves and conjure up
ghosts that it will be difficult to lay.
1t is certain that labor is not in the
mood to tolerate coercion and to give
up the standing it has achieved.
Before entering upon their cam
paign to regain lost positions and to
thrust labor back into its former help
lessness, big business will do we'll to
ponder gravely the possibilities that
may arise out of their ill-advised
efforts"

Railroad Boosters
Claimed Too Much

acknowledgements for the
railroads have overplayed their hand,
writes Richard Spillane, in the Public
Ledger. Mr.. Spillane is supposed TO
be an authority on financial affairs.
Nothing was said by him and his kind
while the railroads propaganda flood
ed the newspapers, but now, when the
tide turns, Mr.. Spillane sagely re-
marks that "the thing is not working
out as expected; there has to be new
deal; the revenue is not what it should
be-"
The interesting portion Of his story,
however, refers to the propaganda of
railroads, in their fight to cure
higher rates.
GA remarkably able pieoe of
propaganda work." he declares.
"The thing was overdone, particu
larly from the Baltimore end. If the
propagandists had stuck to simple
statement of plain facts they would
have served their cause better, but
they made it appear that the rail
roads had suffered greatly under gov
ernmental control, had declined from
condition approXimating perfection
to a desperate state Of decreptitude,
and only by rates that would return
good profit to the investor could the
billions of capital necessary to the
rehabilitation of the properties be OBJ
tanned.
"They got practically all they asked
for in passenger and freight charges.
They got more than they expected.
They were delighted. Those who en-
gineered the campaign were hailed as
wonderful men.
"But the thing has not worked out
as expected; there has to be a new
deal; the revenue is not what it should
be-"

CHANGE OF FRONT
HIGH TARIFF ADVOCATES BE-
GIN TO WABBLE
Big Business Fears Retaliation if
Chinese Wall is Thrown About
American Markets

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. big business
has visions of world markets it is
abandoning the theory that Chinese
wall, in the form of high tariff, must
protect this country from foreign
conception, according to the Phila-
delphia North American.
Forever high tariff advocates know
that if commodities Of other nations
are barred, those nations will 2etali-
ate and the prospect of world markets
is destroyed. 1t is even whispered
that the steel trust has come to the
conclusion that it can compete against
the world and that the pauper labor
bugaboo has lost its force as this la
Dor can be imported as needed, while
the countries that supply the pauper
labor can be made a customer of
American steel if no barrier is placed
against its products.
This city is the home Of men who
have advocated the highest tariff bar
riers possible, but the change from
national capitalism to International
capitalism by these and other business
men is indicated in long editorial in
the North American, which says, in
part:
Among the advocates OF a modern
lied tariff they will find some power
ful intrests and industrial combina-
tions whose prosperity was built up
under high protection, but whose pro-
duction has outgrown the home
market and whose future IS dependent
upon the development OF foreign
trade.
"They will find in the ranks of the
moderate protectionists great bank
ing interests, which in the past con-
tributed heavily to campaign funds
on the high tariff issue, but whose
horizon has been widened and wrose
field of operations has been vastly ex-
tended in recent years. Prominent
among these will be International
banking houses which have sold hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of
European government loans, redeem
able only through the expansion of
commercial relationships and the ex-
change of goods fostered by lower
tariff"

FAVORS LABOR
"OPEN SHOP" UNMASKED BY
CHURCH MEN
The Methodist Federation, in SOcia
Service Bulletin, Advocates the
Cooperative Plan

New York-The Social Service Bull
letin, issued by the Methodist fedora
ton for social service, is the latest to
lombard the alleged "oucn" shop.
This attack is one Of the many being
launched against the anti-uni0n move
ment by church men of all creeds.
"The real ISSUE" says the Social
Service Bullein, "is the method of ne
gotiating with employees. t. is ques-
ton of collective ba1 gaining, as
against Individual bargaining. The
personal liberty and freedom of con-
tract for which the employing group
stands, leaves entire control of hiring
and firing, management, arlount and
quality of product, swstem Of pay n
the hands of the employer. An in
dividual, even though union man,
is powerless to bargain over these
matters.
"That this is the real issue of the
campaign is evident in the repeated
assurance Of employing groups that
they will not discriminate against
union men as such, but that they will
deal with them only as individuals,
Experience of the steel corpora
ton in maintaining the open shop
policy indicates that this policy is not
enforced without an army of spies.
Such spy systems established by this
and other corporations breed distrust,
suspicion and disruption in community
life.
"In West Virginia at the present
time, the determination of coal oper-
ators to maintain open shop condi-
tions is leading to a situation which
threatens civil strife in that area.
"In Alabama, military rule has
supplanted civil administration be-
cause coal operations are determined
to keep out of the union.
"Is the public ready to substitute
for the collective bargaining Of labor
the closed shop of industrial autoc-
racy with it's social consequences :?
Is it willing to have these social re-
suits extended?"
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1921-02-11
Tax On Land Values
Will Stop Tax Dodgers

Baltimore-The American economic
league makes a point against the New
York Times, which says:
"Millionaires know how to pay their
taxes in strict accordance with the
law, and in such a manner that they
do not pay too much in punishment
for their wealth, according to lawful
standards. By putting their money
in exempt securities provided for the
purpose they keep their income in
tact, but also divert their wealth from
more remunerative investments"
To this expose of tax-dodging mil
lionaires, the economic league replies:
'In other words, the income tax law
bears lightly on millionaires, although
supposed to bear heavily on them.
There is nothing surprising about
this. All efforts to levy taxes ac-
cording to ability to pay must turn
out that way.
"More millionaires would be reach
ed by abandoning the income tax and
similar taxes and levying all taxes
on land values. That would reach the
unearned income at it's source. The
millionaire might invest in stocks,
bonds or other securities, but these
have no value except what is given
them by the property which they rep
resent. In most cases this property
is land, and by taxing the value of
this land the securities based upon
it will be taxed. Such a tax cannot
be evaded OF shifted. That this is
known to millionaire tax dodgers is
clear enough from the opposition of
the papers they control to single tax
measures wherever proposed.

OPPOSE NON-UNION SHOP

Cedar Rapids, Iowa-At its con-
vention in this city the Iowa Master
Builders association rejected the anti
union shop and declared for arbi-
tration and mediation. The employers
indorsed collective bargaining and
ignored the demand of former Presi-
dent Mills that wages be reduced 30
per cent.
The anti-uninists found poor soil
in this city to propagate their doc
trine of discord, as Cedar Rapids has
an agreement between employers and
employed, which provides for arbi-
tration and mediation of industrial
disputes.

ALIENS SON SETTING

Topeka, Kan.-Govenor Allen and
his "can't-strike' law have passed the
peake of popularity and are now
headed toward the down grade.
At the last session of the legislature
the governor was monarch of all he
surveyed, with the press of the ma
ton and moving pictures acclaiming
him the man who has "solved the
labor problem"
Labor steadied itself to receive the
shock The workers have seen these
freak Statesmen" appear and disap-
pear, and Allen is proving no excep-
tion to the rule.
He opens the new year with a legis-
lature of different mold than the
previous one and the workers, instead
of acting on the defensive against the
Whirl of opposition last year, are now
conducting an offensive battle.
In his message to the lawmakers,
Governor Allen "sensed" the coming
storm against his industrial court.
which has been most generous to COR
porations that demanded rate in
creases. The governor now favors
a new commission to handle corpo-
rations, and this, he says, will give
his industrial court more time to
handle the labor cases. This means
an added cost of from 100000 to $780,
600 year to taxpayers and some of
the legislators are reaching for their
tomahawks.

MAY PENALIZE EMPLOYER

Sacramento, Cal.-The state su-
preme court has upheld the 1917
amendment to the workmen's compen-
sation act which provides that where
an injury is caused by the serious and
willful misconduct of an employer,
the compensation otherwise due for
the injury shall be increased so per
cent. Such penalty must be paid by
the employer personally and cannot
be insured against.
The decision strengthens the hand
of the state industrial accident COM

Favor Arbitration

st. Paul, Minn.-An anti-strike law
is hardly possible at this session of
the state Legislature because of senti-
ments contained in the new industrial
commission bill, which is favored by
leaders of the legislature. The pro-
posal provides that the commission
shall "do all in its power to promote
the voluntary arbitration, mediation
and Cancellation of disputes between
employers and employees"

st. Paul, Min.-Fur manufacturers

range from $36 to $55 for cutters and
Watchers and $34 to $39 for nailers.
No worker shall be discharged on ac-
count of union activities outside of
working hours and overtime shall be
paid for at the rate of time and one
half.

New Haven, Conn.-Organized heat
