Cooperative
Construction
Contemplated

If building contractors of New
Jersey do not abandon their present
policy of hostility to labor organ
izations and start construction the
unions themselves will undertake to
do this important work through a
cooperative movement planned at a
recent session of the New Jersey
Building Trades Association.
The time is not ripe, the dele
gates declared, for wage parings,
and they will be resisted where at
tempted. Many employees have
sought to make cuts averaging
from 10 to 40 per cent and the
workers refuse to take them. AS
result the building industry is
practically at a standstill.
The plan of the New Jersey
unions follows substantially one sue
cessfully employed by the building
guilds of Great Britain, which have
been constructing homes for work
ers at savings of 20 per cent. The
union scales have been paid and,
in addition, workers have been paid
for time lost because of inclement
weather.
For months the desire of the Brit
ish unions to build comparatively
was bitterly opposed by the govern
ment as well as contractors. The
experiment, however, has been so
satisfactory that it probably will be
largely extended, with benefit to
unions and the public.

CAN'T CONTROL
THE CHURCHES
Pittsburgh Ministers Union Re-
sents Attempted DictatiOn
of Employers

Plans of the Pittsburgh Employ
ers' Association to control the
clergymen of that city and else
where have not been working out
according to schedule, as has been
pointed out in successive issues of
Labor" That organization got its
most stinging rebuke when the
Pittsburgh Ministerial Union, re-
plying to a communication instruct
ing it's members to keep within a
neutral zone" in sermons and 9TH
er addresses, adopted resolutions
declaring that this "dictation to re-
ligious bodies as to what fields
of thought and human service they
may enter" is so odious that 1t
challenges the condemnation of all
right-thinking men.
The resolutions continue: 1--WE
resent this attempt of CONNER
cial organization to prescribe limits
within which alone the church and
other organizations may move; we
reaffirm the historic right and the
duty of the church to proclaim the
whole truth in Christ as revealed
in the Scriptures and as applied
under the Holy Spirit to every re-
lationiship in life.
"We deny to any political, COM
mercial, industrial or any other
group or agency the right to set up
any restrictions on the freedom of
the Christian church or its agen-
cies to apply the spirit and stand
ards of the Kingdom of God to the
whole of life, and we declare it our
solemn duty and purpose to defend
this liberty of the, Gospel"

Private Soldiers
and Sailors Legion

The Private Soldiers and Sail
ors' Legion is appealing for sup
port by organized labor, and shows
that it has been steadily at work
for almost two years now in the
effort to organize the great mass
of 100000 private soldiers, sail
ors and marines who served in the
world war, along lines that will
not only fraterually advance the
protection of their rights and in
terests as eN-service men, but will
bring them into cordial, helpful re-
lations with organized labor in all
its branches.
Its declaration of principles says.
We do not purpose to be used as
croWbarS to pry some other man
or woman out of a Job Nor do
we intend to be recruited into am
army of unemployed to be used as
a lever to force down the wages of
other citizens. Nor do we intend
to starve or beg Natures bounty
has provided Uncle Sam and all
his nephcws with ample opportun-
ity for all to work, IL the govern
ment will only let down the bars
of monopoly and privilege.
Article vii, section 8. of the con
stitution provides
Any member who acts as a scab
or strikebreaker or misuses the
uniform as a badge of servitude
to lawless corporations or criminal
monopolists in labor controversies
shall be expelled from the legion.
All the national officers of the
Private Soldiers and Sailors Le-
gion, and most of the organizers
and local officers are union or
railroad brotherhood men, serving
under bond and without salary, and
they are striving to conduct the
work of the legion on sound union
principles in all its transactions.
The legion is pushing a bill in
congress for the relief of the un-
employed both ex-service men and
civilians, and is also giving much
assistance to the railroad brother
hoods in their efforts to have the
Esch- Cummins bill repealed, which
is unanimously condemned by those
affected by its provisions as be
ing not only vicious but unconstitu-
tional.-Typographical Journal. Of

North Dakota Man
Gets Floor at A. F.
of l.. Convention

Denver, Colo, June 16. - North
Dakota yesterday received the heart
lest greeting of any person or
cause thus far of the convention of
the American Federation of La
Dor. Carl D. Thompson was grant
ed the floor and appealed to the
delegates and unions to invest in
bonds of North Dakota and deposit
their current funds in the state
owned bank. He made a deep i'm
preston and was accorded prolong-
ed round of hearty applause at the
conclusion of his address. He told
how the farmers of North Dakota
"have come to understand the fight
and principles of organized labor"
He said: Labor spent $412,0 900
in an unsuccessful fight to organize
one printing establishment in Far
90, N. D., but when farmers had
organized politically and captured
the government by passing one law
they unionized every print shop in
the state"
He described the bonds as a safe
investment and told how they and
the bank yield as much or more
interest on money than private
banks. He told how the workers
money is used to fight them when
deposited in Wall street controlled
banks. He described the boycott
of the Wall street crowd in North
Dakota bonds to defeat the farm
eTs' movement for freedom in the
Northwest.
He said they have good reason
70 try to defeat us, for they know
that if that program stands in
North Dakota it is not long be-
fore it exists in every state. The
same forces that are fighting North
Dakota farmers government are
fighting labor.
"When the time comes that or
eanized labor and organized farm
ers stand together we will have
seen a new day usher in economic
and social justice" he concluded.

The WOOd-FOrbes
Investigation

In spite of the visible effort to
color the dispatches coming from
the Philippines anent the Wood
Forbes investigation, several vital
things are evident. They are:
/. 1t is not true that there is
veritable chaos in the Islands as
the American people have been told
through the columns of the news
papers.
2. 1t is not true that the Fill
pinos do not want independence as
the American jingoes. in the Islands
would have the homeland believe.
There may be private individuals
opposed to it, but the bulk of the
inhabitants, the overwhelming ma
iority, practically all of the Fill
pinos clamor for it as their nations
birthright.
8. 1t is not true that every
thing has stagnated, nor is corrup-
tion rampant, as calamity howlers
tell their American folks in artic-
les, in letters, and in private con-
versaion.
4. 1t is not true that the roads
are in a hopelessly deteriorated
condition as has been blazoned to
the four winds of heaven. Even
Mr.. Forbes who has been a shark
at road building while governor, "has
not been able to find much de-
terioration," Notwithstanding III e
tremendous increase of automobiles
and motor trucks AS a matter of
fact, General Wood said that the
roads he travelled over were easier
than those in Massachusetts where
Mr.. Forbes halls from"
All of which should be super
enlightening to well-meaning AM
erica who has been hoodwinked all
these years by the handful of AM
orleans in the Islands who harp
continually on the alleged incapacity
of the Filipinos and who oppose
independence on a thousand and one
pretexts but in reality because of
profits, soft berths, and plenty of
servants.

Washington, June lin urging a
taxation on land values Congress
man Keller, of Minnesota, indicated
how owners of vast areas escape
taxation while they urge lower hv-
ing standards for workers to de-
tract from monopoly that affects
the nations life.
The lawmaker showed that under
land values tax, speculative hold
ers of land would pay more taxes
than all the producing farmers in
America He said three railroads
the Northern Pacific, the Southern
Pacific, and the Santa Fe-own a
total of 81, ,493 900 acres Of undevel-
oped land, or enough, if divided into
SO-acre tracts, to give homes to
more than 100000 Of Americas ten
ant farmers.
Estimates based on the last census
reports, he said, show that land
values and industrial values in this
country aggregate about $140,000,-
100000 each. Between fifty and sixty
billion dollars worth of vacant land
and unused natural resources es-
cape paying one cent of federal
taxes, either direct or indirect.
The bill urged by the congressman
would exempt agricultural land in
actual use.
AS an indication of the growing
concentration Of land ownership,
Congressman Keller said that in
Arkansas 265 holders own 3,318,000
acres, or almost one-half as much
as all the improved acreage Of the
2l4,678 farmers of that state.
In Colorado IA known holders own
3,355,000 acres, as against 1902 ,l01
improved acres owned by 46,170
farmers. In New Mexico the Hol-
land Land Company has 100000
acres-more than three times the
combined improved acreage of the
36,675 farmers of that state.
Worse conditions exist in Texas,
Florida, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Min
nesota, North Dakota, Washington,
and California, 20,647,C00 acres of
land in the United States-an area
as large as Ireland-is owned by
% foreign syndicates and landlords.
In tracing the cause for migra-
tion from farms, the decrease of
farm production because of small
returns, and the concentration of
land ownership, Congressman Keller
said:
1T is senseless to blink at facts
and to blindly believe that our ma
ton is immune to the same social
disorders which have ruined other
great nations in the past. We see
in our land the same social symp-
toms that preceded misfortune in
other countries in different historic
epochs. If we are to survive in a

To Cut Expenses
By Cutting Wages

The City Commissioners on Wed
nesday reduced the city expenses
by cutting wages. As matter of
course the worker must pay the
bill if the city runs short of funds.
According to an item in Wednes-
day Evenings Herald the reduction
will average in excess Of $4,000 a
month, the safety commissioner
said today, which is approximately
S25,000 year.
The salary reduction schedule, op-
erative Just as soon as the ordi-
nance authorizing it is enacted, will
include these reduction:
Day labor from $5 a day to S3.75;
teamSterS and truck drivers to S4.25
a day; repair men on street sewers,
81 a day; street cleaners to $3.50 a
day; in the fire department a cut
Of $15 a month for all men; in the
police department a cut of Sl5 a
offices a reduction of $40 a moth
for all receiving Sl25 month and
less and a cut of Sl5 a month for
all receiving a salary over Sl25 a
month or more.
One man will be dropped from the
health department; one man will be
dropped from the finance depart
ment; the work in the inspecting de
partment, building and plumbing to
be turned over to the fire depart
ment This latter point is not yet
entirely cleared to the satisfaction Of
all the commissioners and final de
cision is yet to be reached. Some
change will be effected there, new
ertheless.
1t is calculated the proposed cuts
will reduce the city expenses approx
imately $4,000 a year.
While the cutting is going on it
would not be a bad idea to start
the ball rolling by Topping off a
little something somewhere else.
To start with, sell Silver Lake Park
to those able to use it, or anybody
else, at what it cost the city.
During all the recent sQueaking
about high taxes not one squeaker
opened his head about the city buy
ing a park six miles from town.
True the people voted for it but
they voted against themselves when
they did it.
