CHANCELLOR WIRTH ~

BERLIN, Sept. 5.--Chancellor Wirth In
an address at a meeting of the Centre

sity of upholding the republic against
the attacks of the Rightists He an

Wirth remarked II have hopes OF a

Government In the course OF this week"
He sharply attacked the big German
capitalists by saying they made the
payment Of the billion gold marks TO
the Entente very difficult. Capital has
been acting not out OF patriotism but
out Of seitishncss in keeping on delay

HOW TO BREAK UP "OPEN SHOP
DRIVE

A writer in The Carpenter says:
"Quite frequently | am asked by my
fellow-Workmen this question: what
do you think is a good and effective
weapon to use against the open shop?'
so-called American plan of employ
ment. which is nothing else but
closed shop to the trades-unlon man
or woman. My answer is this: The
most effective weapon is hit them IN
the pocketbook, and the best way to
hit them in the pocketbook is to buy
absolutely nothing that does not bear
the union label, no matter what 1t IS,
be it tobacco, cigars or cigarettes,
shoes or hats, gloves or broom; IN
fact, anything you buy, demand the
union label upon it. If organized la
Dor would only spend their union
earned money as union men and
women should spend, these labor
haters would be on the run in short
time. So | appeal to you, brothers,
refuse to buy non-union made goods,
and you will be surprised how much
it will help organized labor to fight
it's battles"

HOW UNIONS SERVE

Every trade union man knows the
amateur economist who questions the
value of labor organizations on the
theory that no power can hold up
wages in a falling market. These
doctrinairies are less numerous than
formerly, but they are not extinct.
The recent decline in wages has
prompted them to renew their critic
ism of the theory and practice Of
trade unionism.
Wages, they argue, fuctuate with
the condition Of trade and the labor
market, and are not affected by union
activities. Evidence to support this
view is seen in the fact that during
the war boom the wages of morgan
lied labor rose as we'll as the wages
Of organized labor, while the wages
of both are now falling. Were the
unions really effective, they would be
able to prevent the drop, it is main
tanned.
Like many another fnespun abb
stract theory, this one will not meet
the test Of fact. 1t is doubtless true
that wages generally went up during
the war boom, but the wages of or
ganized labor rose sooner and higher
than the wages of unorganized labor
And now that the pendulum is swing
ing the other way, unorganized labor
is taking the biggest reductions. This
is attested by the federal reserve
board, which in its April business re-
view says, "Wage readjustment has
been greater among unskilled work
ers and those not possessed of a
strong labor organization.
Such testimony to the value of
trade unionism only bears out what
might be inferred from the mere
existence and growth of unions. If
the unions accomplished nothing,
they would disappear. Doubtless la
Dor organizations cannot fix wages to
suit themselves. They are obliged to
follow a policy determined in the
main by in dustrial and business con-
ditions. Yet is it undeniable that
they can and do exert a favorable in
fluence on wages, and are a real pro-
lection for workers in bad times as
we'll as good.-Toledo Union Leader.

for union industry. AS such it is an

that the fact that such parleys

SENATORS retain
g PER CENT RATE
Finance Committee Also
Votes to Increase Married
Mems Exemption to $2,500.

The Senate finance committee voted
today to retain the 80 per cent max
imum income surtax rates as fixed
in the House bill. 1t has under con-
sideration a proposal to change the
percentage in the different brackets
so as to effect a reduction of about
] per cent on incomes in each bracket.
The committee also approved pro-
visions in the House bill increasing
heads of families having annual net
incomes of $4,000 or less and also in
creasing the exemptions on account
of dependents from 5000 to $4OO.
Minor amendments to the bill such
as those affecting the transportation
tax will not be taken up until after
the committee has fixed the effective
date for the repeal of the profits tax,
as the lesser changes proposed are
dependent upon this question. The
question of the effective date of the
profits tax will be voted on tomorrow
morning. it was announced.
Sentiment in the committee now is
to accept the House provision max
ing elimination of this tax effective
as of next January 1. instead of retro
active to last January l. as recon-
mended by Secretary Mellon. Chair
man Penrose announced that the
committee had decided to vote on the
bill and all amendments and all Ques-
tions relating to it not later than
men and experts ample time to get
the measure in shape for a report to
the Senate on Wednesday, September

each day and if necessary would hold

EXPLOSIONS
Terror IN HALIFAX
People Fear Repetition of
1917 Disaster as Oil
Tanks Blow Up.
By the Associated Press.

HALIFAX, y. S., September IL
Explosion of five tanks of the Inn
perial Oil company's plant at Dart
mouth. on the east side of Halifax
harbor. early today. with rumblings
that were felt in this city, caused the
evacuation of half the homes in Hall
fax. Those who had gone through
the explosion of December, 1877, when
the munitions ship Mont Blanc blew
up and wrecked a third of Halifax
with loss of 1900 lives, thought it
was another such disaster. Indica-
tions were that there had been neither
loss of life nor serious injury in to-
days explosion.
It was a little after 3 O'Clock that
Halifax was shaken by the first ex-
piosion. A blaze in the refining stills
caused the blast, which was succeeded
by a second and a third explosion
within few seconds. Glass was
shattered in windows here with each
shock. Dartmouth, Woodside and
Eastern Passage also felt them in
varying degrees. Telephone service
was disorganized.
Aroused from sleep, people rushed
to windows and saw the sky alight
with the flames of burning oil. and
there was a rush to the streets.
The east slopes of Citadel Hill were
crowded with people within a short
time.
There were seven men on the night
shift working in the vicinity of the
refining stills when the fire started.
They fed and all are believed to be
safe.
The steamer victolite. British
tanker, was lying at the oil docks
when the fire started. Blasts from
her siren were sounded as an alarm
before the first of the explosions. The
steamer then pulled out from the
docks to midstream.
