JUCCLE STATISTICS
In Attempt to Defend The
Cutting of Wages

Lower food costs is being capital
ized by cheap wage employers to en-
force a living standard below pre-
war times.
Wage rates, based on pre-war
standards are valueless, because these
rates did not assure living standards.
A family's food bill approximates
40 per cent of the bread winners in
come, according to the United States
bureau of labor statistics.
This means that worker who is
paid 81 a day, for instance, spends
40 per cent, or $3.50, for food for his
family.
If food costs are lowered 20 per
cent, he saves" one-ffth of this $3.50
or Sc cents day.
This Saving" which is eaten up,
and in some cases exceeded, by in
creased rents, fuel, light and other
necessities, is pretext by employers
to reduce wages 20 per cent, or to cut
the rate of 81 day to one-fifth that
amount.-$1. 40.
The worker now finds that he is
paid $500 day, with the few pen
nies that he saved through food costs
taken over by other profiteers.
The most superficial thinker must
see that the worker is worse off than
before, and that every wage cut ex-
tends the buyers strike" which
cheap-wage advocates deplore.
Self preservation is behind labor's
fight against wage reductions.
The workers are not impressed by
awesome contributions on frozen
credits, stock dividends, liquidation or
foreign markets as reasons why they
should accept lower wages.
They know their standards are be-
ing lowered, even below pre-war.
They know they have produced to
excess and that the charge that they
are slackers is an untruth, uttered
by men who are either ignorant or
dishonest.
The workers are not responsible for
present conditions. They carried the
burden of the war while the men who
now talk of wage cuts were ignored
No one paid any attention to these
intellectual bankrupts and profteers
who reaped untold riches during the
war, and who now emerge from their
cyclone cellars, peep around to be as
sured of personal safety, and ther
insist on wage cuts.
Statistics are juggled to this enc
and every force at the command OF
greed is used to conceal waste, exces
sive charges, inordinate profits, anc
incompetent management.

MAKE DOLLARS
FIGHT FOR YOU

Today union men often spend $40
month to destroy unionism where they
give 81 month to build up unionism.
The union men of this country, as
a body, spend no less than 81 500, ,000,
900 year to purchase the necessities
of life
Every dollar of that immense sum
that is spent for non-union goods is
spent to break down the unions.
When a strike is on, union men all
over the country send their contribu
tions to support the strike.
They do all in their power to sup
port their brother unionists when they
seem to be in trouble, but the little
strike which you aid here or there by
contributions is nothing compared
with the evil your millions of dollars
do in supporting non-union products.
When unionist spends $40 a month
buying scab products, he is trying
with a great big hand to pull down
the unionism which his poor little
dollar of dues to his union is trying
to build up.
When a union man gives dollar a
month to support his union, he is
very proud of himself as good
unionist. He thinks himself a philan-
thropist. Perhaps he thinks that mis-
erable dollar a month will build up
a powerful trade union movement.
But it never can while he continues to
put many dollars month into ten
cent stores and the purchasing of the
products of prison and scab labor
which is cutting the very ground from
under his union.

So Called "NaturaL" LalU
Is a Stupid PLatitude

Wage reduction advocates write
ponderously on the natural law of
supply and demand" and on the work
ers' folly in resisting wage cuts.
This gentry assume superior air
quite intellectual, you know. They
are shocked because workers refuse to
accept their edict and scott at their
attempted reasoning.
Other natural laws refer to mans
conduct and his relations with his fel-
low men. These laws are dictated by
conscience and education. They are
universal in their application and vary
at different ages.
A peculiar thing about the natural
law of supply and demand" is that it
only applies to wage earners.
When there is an excess of unor-
ganized or partly organized workers,
this claw" operates with Spartan
sternness. Wages are cut below the
living line and bread lines are form
ed, but there can be no redress, saith
our elders and penny-a-liners, who
bow before their idol.
The capitalist, however, is immune
from the operation of this wondrous
statute. When production exceeds
demand prices are not cut as is the
case with unorganized workers. If
they are reduced somewhat it is under
the direction of the capitalist, who
calls this "stabilizing industry"
If this "stabilization" proves inef-

STAY WHERE YOU
ARE

Employers are trying by insidious
propaganda to create the impression
that lots of work and better conditions
can be had somewhere else than their
local district. The intent is to flood
first one locality and then other To-
calities with an excess of union mem
bers, and thereby wreck our dearly
earned conditions.
The conditions are much the same
throughout the United States, and if
you spend your last dollar an trans
portation you become subject to COM
petition with the strikebreaker, with
this difference: The employer must
return fare to them, and you can
walk
Stay where you are now. If you
must move, first write to the locals
secretary of that district for the facts
concerning employment.
Pay no attention to so-called news
items that are misleading ads con-
cerning employment.

Each time you fail to patronize the

fective he closes his plant and the
community votes him a good citizen
and opens soup houses for his en-
ployes.
The capitalist trustifies industry,
regulates production, sets prices and
endows a chair of economics at some
university that the workings of this
natural law of supply and demand
may be better understood
Another peculiar thing about this
natural law" is that it is ineffect-
i've when workers are 100 per cent
organized.
Confronted by the solidarity of
wage earners it is as impotent as the
dame who would stay the oceans
tide with her broom.
The printing trades, the marine en-
gineers, the seamen and the ladies
garment workers is the latest proof
of this claw" is but mental atti-
tude and consoling fiction to low-wage
advocates.
1t is an alibi and a justification for
debasing workers who fail to see the
sham-who do not know that it is a
heritage of the by-gone days of in
dividualsm.
The natural law of supply and de-
mand" is one of the stupid platitudes
that is used to confuse wage-earners.
There is nothing natural" in law
that does not apply to capitalists and
that can be declared unconstitutional

Devil VIII Be Enthroned.

According to recent press reports,
a coterie of American millionaires
have purchased an island of the Ba-
hama group, As miles off the coast
of Florida, for the purpose of found
ing an American Monte Carlo. Chat
ing under cur prohibition law, anti
race track gambling law and other
similar laws that curb the appetites
and passions of a blase element of
our citizenship, whose delight it is to
revel in excesses of all sorts, these
men propose to establish domain of
their own, where they can indulge
without let or hindrance. The follow
ing taken from a press dispatch gives
an insight into the plans of the pro-
moters of this undertaking:
"Upon this newly acquired terri
tory, far removed from the prohibi-
tion laws of any country, the pur-
chasers plan to erect establishments
for the manufacture and sale of in
toxicants fof all kinds, to build race
tracks where unrestricted racing may
be held, stadium for prize fights, to-
getlaer with sumptuous hotels and all
other conveniences for the comfort
and entertainment of their patrons.
"Four large steamships, each ac-
commodat:rg 1,5OO passengers are to
ply between Palm Beach and the Is
land, according to the plans of the
promoters, as we'll as specially built
airplanes."
In projecting evil upon such a
large scale, these men feel secure 45
miles out at sea, but in thus enthron-
ing the devil they should bear in
mind that "nan proposes and God
disposes." In their drunken revels
hundreds felt secure aboard the Gun
sinkable" Titanic on that fateful
night but almost without warning
they were swallowed up by the icy
waters of the ocean. Having chosen
and purchased an island of the sea,
far from the annoyance Of con5ti-
tuted authority, this group Of mil
lionaires may feel secure, forgetting
that "there is Divinity that shapes
our, ends"
