TYPOS APPROVE DISARMAMENT
PRINCIPLE

The recent Quebec convention OF the
International Typographical Union,
upon the recommendation of the re-
solutions committee and by unani-
nous vote, adopted a resolution favor
ing disarmament and government
ownership of the railways of tfe
country. The resolution also gives
"unuualified Endorsement" to the ac-
ton of the Denver convention of the
American Federation of Labor in es-
tablishing in Washington an informa-
ton and publicity service to help the
labor movement. The typos urge
printers to give close attention to the
recommendations of the A. F. of L..
relating to school text books.
The International Typographical
Union is a pioneer among labor or
ganizations in pushing agitation for
government ownership and control of
the telegraph system, beginning it's
propaganda in favor of this policy in
the nineties.

Oil Men on Strike
In California Fields
(By Federated Press)

Bakersfeld-Th strike of the Cali
fornia oil workers has begun. With
the exception of the Standard Oil
Company and the Shell Company,
which has made terms with its en-
ployes, men are out on every oil lease
in central California. The extreme
Northern and Southern portions of
the State have not yet been called
out, and terminal refinery and field
pipe line workers are also exempted
because they serve the United States
Navy.
In Kern county, of which Bakers
field is the capital, 364 companies are
affected, and it is estimated that 5000
men are at strike in the San Quoaquin
Valley as a whole. The strike ties up
monthly production of 6,38O,O0O
barrels of petroleum. The decision OF
the union followed final refusal by
the companies to deal with the union
through the federal arbitrators. The
California District Council of the Oil
Workers Union has therefore asked
the government to intervene.

JUDGE MARSHALL DISSENTS

Chief Justice Marshall, in render
ing dissenting opinion on the right
of a referendum on the Dunn act
which became effective July /, agrees
with the opinions already written by
Judges Wanamaker and Johnson of
the Supreme Court. Judge Marshall
says that "by combination of legis-
lative, executive and judicial leger-
demain an emergency has been made
to appear where none, in fact, ex-
isted," and that Substantial damage
has been perpetrated upon the people
in multiplying the solemn provisions of
the constitution by judicial pronounce
ment, instead of amendment anI le-
peal by the means regularly provided
can never be repaired"

THE CURE OF INSURRECTION

The Governor of West Virginia an
nounces that call the force of the
State" will be employed to prosecute
those recently guilty of insurrection.
This, of course, is to be expected.
But will the State also exhibit equal
energy in seeking to correct the bad
conditions which impelled thousands
of mine workers to believe, however
mistakenly, that only by recourse to
arms could they make their lot in life
tolerable?
If the State of West Virginia wishes
to prevent repetition of insurrection-
ary outbursts it must seek out and so
far as possible remove the causes.
The causees are notorious-denial
to workers of freedom of opinion or
assembly; prostitution of government
TO partisan service of special interests
Corporations there control sheriffs
by paying bonuses to them to act as
labor spies and bullies. "The law"
which should be impartial, is here
used defiantly by privileged minority
to hold labor in a subjection that is
not much better than involuntary
servitude. There is wrong on both
sides in West Virginia. Each side is
determined to obtain absolute mastery
over the other. And mastery by en-
ployers' associations is as dangerous
and destructive to human liberty as
absolute dictation by labor unions.
In West Virginia the State govern
ment is on the side of the employers
association.

ANOTHER FAKE EXPOSED

The French Big Business press is
running neck and neck with The CHI
cago Tribune in publishing fake
photographs to delude its readers on
Russian affairs.
Early in August, the Tribue resur-
rected from its "morgue" a cut OF a
Petrograd street during the July,
1917, rising, and republished it as a
photograph of the Bolsheviki mas
sacreing famine sufferers in Moscow.
Prompt exposure by the Federated
Press of this classification led to a
public apology by "The worlds great
est newspaper"
A few weeks later LIE Matin, the
leading French capitalist daily, pub
lished an alleged picture of Lenln TO
accompany a forged letter attributed
accompany a forged letter attributed
that Communism is all mistake and
that he is sick of the whole business.
The letter was laughed at as fraudu-
lent by Burtsey, Paris leader OF the
counter-revolutiona and the pic
ture was quickly identified as that of
Landru, French Bluebeard, who is be-
ing held for the murder of several
sWeethearts.

SUGGESTS A DIET

con Nav 16 the United States
Steel corporation cut it's wages 20 per
cent. On July 16, the elimination of
time and a half for overtime amount
ed to a further cut of 9.5 per cent,
saws The New Republic. August 19
came a third cut, of 1879 per cent.
This last reduction brought the wages
of unskilled labor down to 30 cents
an hour, the level of May l, 1917. -.
at has been Judge Gary's policy"
says a press report, mot to reduce
wages unless there has been a cor
responding adjustment of prices"
"WeH, prices are adjusting them
selves-upward. The department Of
labor announces that the August re-
tail food prices are A. per cent higher
than those of June. Potatoes are up
26 per cent, eggs 20, butter Is.
"We suggest that the only possible
way of reconciling Judge Gary's wage
cuts with his ideas on the "adjust-
ment" of prices is to induce his en-
ployes to subsist mainly on cabbage,
which is 9 per cent cheaper than 1t
was in June"
The above appeared in a recent is
sue of the Toledo Union Leader, one
of our most valued exchanges, and is
a fair example of the tactics pursued
by the big corporations throughout the
country. But Bro. Keating could have
found material for his article much
nearer home He need only to have
cited the course pursued by the
American Bottle Co. of this city
which saw the Steel Corporations cut
and went them one better. While the
three wage reductions he mentions
total trife over 38 per cent, it was
reported to us that our Bottle Com
pany at one fell swoop cut their un-
skilled employees over 40 per cent ano
reduced their pay from 81 to 80 cents
an hour.

GOMPERS VISITS DEBS IN CELL

The breach which has long existed
between Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
and Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist
leader, was at least partly healed a
short time ago when Gompers visited
Debs in his cell at the Federal prison
in Atlanta. Later Gompers gave out
statement in which he declared that
"there is neither justice nor neces-
sity in longer denying Eugene V.
Debs his freedom" This is the first
, time in twenty years that these two
men have held personal conversation.

TAX DODGERS MAKE PEOPLES
BURDEN LARGE
Congress Proposes Law Change to Put
End to Big Leaks

Washington--Tax dodgers are get
ting away with more than 81 900, ,OOO,-
900 every year that ought to go into
the United States treasury.
That's one reason that treasury Of
ficials and members of congress ad-
mitted today that the rest of the
American people are called upon to
bear such heavy tax burdens. 1t is
also the reason congress proposes GER
tain changes in the tax law to plug
tax leaks through which millions OF
dollars yearly are lost.
If Uncle Sam could collect every
year what he loses because of "taX
free securities" he would have to levy
$7OO,OOO,OO0 to $1,000,000,000 less in
taxes on other things, officials agree
These tax free securities represent
the greatest aid to tax lodging by the
rich. 1t is variously estimated that
there are from $14,000,000,0 to $24,-
000, 100000 of them outstanding. The
government can't touch them with its
taxing power because of a constitu-
tionai limitation on its authority.
