THE BOSTON PRINTERS STRIKE.
THE AMERICAN PLAN" IN INDUSTRY.
By J. H. PABLO.

public. Work this matter up quietly
among members. Urge printers to
take out strike insurance. Last but
not least-have all printers engaged
from now on to sign contract"
The employers certainly stop at
| nothing in order to carry through
their plans. Of course all this dirty
| work they proclaim as American
ISM"
ENLIGHTENING THE PUBLIC.
How does the Boston Typothetae
enlighten the public? In one of their
statements they say as follows:
"If this country is ever to get
back to normally prosperous times,
industries must have PRODUCTION.
.'The members of this organiza-
tion. and others who believe in these
principles, are standing firm for a
4S-hour week, the open shop, and
maintained production, in the face
of the demands of the unions for a
44.hour week and necessarily de-
creased production, union control,
and their present strike to maintain
high printing costs"
Some enlightening eh?-H you
gentlemen of Boston Typothetae are
interested in reduction Of printing
costs, why don't you cut down your
profits instead of our wages? If
you believe in production, why don't
you let us work and go. to work
yourselves and earn an honest dollar
once in while? Why did you lay
off several hundred good printers
during the last few months If you
wanted to maintain production?
There are over five million industrial
workers out of work all ever the
country. If Industries must have
production" why don't you tell your
brethren in textile, steel, mining and
other industries to open up the fac
tories, mills and mines, and let these
men 60 to work?
You are fooling the public, gentle
men of the Typothetae. The mills,
mines, factories and your own shops
are laying off men because there is
no demand for production. The ware
houses, storages and stock rooms
are full of all kinds Of goods. Mil
lions of people need them, but have
no money to buy them, because they
! are out of work. The way to remedy
the condition is not long hours but
the opposite method. Cut down work
ing hours, SO everybody can get q
job. Raise wages so that everybody
can buy what he needs, then there
will be a demand for production and
industries will be able to operate at
full speed.

U. S. Mail Service to
Russia.
(By Federated Press.)

Washington, April 19.-Mail serv-
ice between the United States and
Soviet Russia has been re-establish-
ed by order of Postmaster General
Hays.
Orders issued on April Is notified
all postmasters in the United States
that they "are hereby authorized to
accept fully prepaid unregistered let
ters and postcards addressed to Rus
sia in Europe for onward transmits
sion to destination via New York
and through England"
In separate order postmasters
were today directed to accept letters,
both registered and unregistered, and
postcards, addressed to Vladivostock
and the Republic Of Far Eastern
Siberia, for transmission by way Of
the Pacific Ocean. The Federated
Press was advised today by Division
Of Foreign Mails that the phrase
"Russia in Europe" is meant to in
clude Ukrainia, Georgia and Axe-
baijan.
Post office officials explain that
restoration Of mail service with So
Wet Russia and United States is
based on postal~agreement between
England and Russia, which went in
to effect April z, the terms of which
are being followed by the United
States, with British cooperation. 81,
Mails to Far Eastern Republic 20
forward on basis Of agreement made
directly between American authori-
ties and the Russian post office at
Vladivostok, which undertakes re-
sponsibility for distribution inland
along the Trans-Siberian Railway
and in rural districts.

For instance: under the pressure Of
so called outlaw strikes and threats
of strikes, which took place during
the busy season Of 1918-l919, the
several national printing trades en-
ployers associations gave out pro-,
misses to grant a 44-hour week on
May 1st, 1921. Are they living up
to their promises now? Of course
not. As soon as they saw that the
present dull season was coming they
changed their attitude. The following
resolution has been adopted on Sept.
10, 1920, and was released for pub
lication on April Z, 1921:
Resolved, that the saith annual
convention Of the United Typothetae
of America, in convention assembled,
restate unequivocally its disapproval
of any reduction in the present
working hours and recommends to its
members that they resist any at
tempt to enforce such a reduction,
except where such reduction has al
ready BEEN agreed to by contract"
For two years printers all over the
country were led to believe that the
44-hr. week was a sure thing after
May 1st, 1921. Now they find that
they have been fooled. This is the
way our employers sanctify their
agreements. =.
WHAT TO DO.
1. The fight in on, and there can
be no retreat. Thousands of print
ing establishments all over the coun-
try have been forced to yield the
44-hr. week already. There is. a
prospect that many Boston shops
will grant the demand on May 1st.
Wherever our members remain at
work, they must be ready to pay
a high assessment for strike funds;
10 per cent to 20 per cent of wages
certainly must be figured upon. The
strike may last several months and
the strikers must be supported by
all means. las.
2. No longtime or entangling con-
tracts or arbitration agreements
shall be signed. We must leave our
hands free, so that when the cost
of living increases we can imme-
diately force our wages up. We must
leave our hands free so that we
can join in sympathy strike with
another union, or general strike
when this is necessary.
Workers, one never can tell how
far the powerful employers associa-
tions, their legislators and courts
may go in an effort to crush the
labor unions. Therefore we must be
ready to fight at any time.
8. The time is approaching when
this continuous struggle between
capital and labor must come to an
ultimate end. The final issue will
be:-who is to control the industries,
the capitalist class-through iDdivi-
dual employers, or the working CiaSs
through unions and shop committees.
You know your camp. Stick to it.
keep your hands united and prepare
for the fight. >

WORKING CLASS
ECONOMICS.
n r,r oxyn nInsn
By FLOYD RAMP

Why should people be out of work
as long as there are things that they
need?
Just how can this situation be
remedied?
Has this situation existed before :?
If there is a crisis in your life, if
you are sick, you begin to try to
find out what the trouble is and to
find remedy. If you do not under
stand the trouble you consult doc
tor. Then you follow his advise and
try at least to get well. If you get
a good and wise doctor you will get
we'll quickly. If, ON the other hand
you get a poor doctor he may keep
you sick because it is to his interest
to do so. He gets money out of you.
Now let US apply this same logic
to the unemployed situation that is
before US at the present time.
The capitalists say to US, let the
thing run its course; we will get
over it, we always have. Its disease
that does not worry them particu-
larly, so why should they worry
about it?
The Liberal will say, something
should be done T. 2kSst these people
who are out of <. He offers .
few pills, in the shape of reforms
that will get US over the worst Of
the trouble, only to have the disease
back on us again next winter or the
winter after that.
The Communist says that we must
look into this disease thoroughly and
see what causes it, and if possible
get rid of the thing altogether.
Of course the capitalists and the
liberals and those who are very ig.
norant laugh and jeer at any such
talk.
Nevertheless it appears to me that
this crazy communist is after all the
most practical man. If I get sick
want to know what is the matter and
what causes my sickness.
Unemployment is social disease
Society is sick Of unemployment. A
doctor must be called. The roots O.
this disease must be located and
eradicated from the system. How
can this be done?
Capitalists own the means of pro
duction and distribution. The work
ers do not own the things with which
they carry on production and distri
button. The capitalists keep we
workers producing as long as they car
sell, at profit, the things that
1--WE have produced. When this can nj
longer be done then they stop pro
duction, and distribution is not car
ried on so extensively because w
cannot buy so heavily. They, on tn
other hand have whatever they want
Since there are not so many thing
to distribute, less men are needed il
the process Of distribution. Thi
means more unemployed.
Here is the prescription for tn
disease: When we own and contro
and are free to do as we like wit
the old earth and its resources, wit
its factories, its RAILROADS, mines etc
then we win only Stop working whe
our wants are satibfied. The Who'll
trouble lies in the TACT that this ]
not our world but Belongs to a fe'
who use it only when II suits thei
fancy. Only when they can max
profits out Of the process.
We must make il q world for tn

"A HOUR WEEK is ECONOMICAL.
LY UNSOUND.

In another statement the Boston
Typothetae says that the 44-hour
week is economically unsound. Quite
correct gentlemen. 1t is unsound. In
this case printers certainly have
proved themselves to be economic
illerates by making such demand.
During the last twenty years limo
types, monotypes, rotary presses, au-
tomato feeders, folders and job pres
ses have been installed in every
printing place worth consideration.
Improved machinery and all kinds Of
time-saving devices have increased
the production several hundred per
cent per man. Under such conditions
it is absurd to demand only hour
| reduction per week. The time is ripe
for 36-hour week.
| SANCTITY OF AGREEMENTS.
Much talk has been going on about
sanctity of agreements and legality
in the struggles between capital and
labor. Workers who do not believe in
that reactionary rot, are called anar-
/ chists, etc.
Those who preach this sanctity
stuff always forget that in most
cases the unions are forced to sign
agreements or starve. When a rob-
ber has a gun against your nose,
you certainly will agree to throw
up your hands, but at the first op-
|portunity you will slip them down,
and get hold of your weapon. In the
same manner all other involuntary
agreements must be treated.
During the war Boston printers
worked for low wages. They sacri.
ficed their right to fight when the
shops were busy and the fighting
chances were good. Now they are
forced by employers to strike under
unfavorable conditions.
In the mean time the employers
never lived up to the obligations Of
our five year contract, In a recent
advertisement Of the Boston Typo
thetae there appear over one hund
red firm names. The majority Of then
were members of the organization
when the 1916-1921 contract wa,
signed. According to this contract
no member Of the Typothetae had ,
right to employ non-union men. Blu
the fact is, that about 500 Of tn,
Typothetae shops preferred and EN-
ployed non.union men.
Il Agreements are not lived up To b,
our loyal employers only. II Is th,
