DEFLATION
Should Not Apply Only To
Workers, Says Gompers

Atlantic City, N. J.-"In all this
talk about readjustment and recon
struction, why is it that the pressure
is always brought to bear upon those
whose standards of life and everyday
existence would be demoralized by a
reduction of wages, and why this
drive to reduce wages frst?" asks
President Gompers, in statement on
present conditions.
"Wouldn't it be more humane" said
the trade unionist, 'to start with
them as have and whose profits or
incomes derived from their surplus
savings would be the only factor af-
fected?
"There is a dangerous concept
among many that automobiles and
ice cream are all right for those who
can't serve society and who produce
nothing, but that the toilers must en-
joy nothing of the good things of life.
"The women know that the cost
of living has not come down Instead
with profteering going unchecked
and unrestrained, the cost of living
is going up, especially rents. Ninety
per cent of the homes in the United
States were built before the war, but
the exhorbitant rents gouged out of
the tenants by the profteering and
unscrupulous landlords is blamed on
the high cost of labor during the
war"

HOW MANY APPRECIATE IT

HUN MAN AFfhESlAlE T. IL
Wednesday of last week saw the
last of the summer half holidays for
the store employees, excepting those
employed in the grocery and meat
stores, which stores will continue clos
ing Wednesday afternoons during
September. 1t so happened that
there were IA Wednesdays during the
months of June, July and August,
which meant IA half-days' vacation
or days in all, for the store en-
ployes. These holidays for workers
are the result of the efforts of the
local Retail Clerks Union. While the
union secured the holidays for its
members it meant also holidays for
all those hundreds employed in the
stores who are not members of the
union. The Press wonders how many
of these non-union store employees ap-
preciate the hot summer holidays
they enjoy from the efforts of the
union and for which they do nothing
nor pay anything to acquire. The
Press also wonders how much they
appreciate all the good things the
union secured for them in the past,
such as the short workday, the clos
ing of the stores Christmas eve and
only working two nights previous to
Christmas when formerly they work
ed every night for three weeks before
Christmas, the closing of the stores
every night in the week except, Sat
urday, the going to work at 8 and
$50 in the morning instead of 7
o'clock, the closing of the stores at
$50, ETC.? The Press just wonders
how much the non-union store en-
ployes really appreciate all these
things!

not.

While the big outing of Monday
went off in fine style, yet there was
a scarcity of workers. 1t was thought
with so many of the men unemployed
at this time that there would be no
dearth of workers at the picnic. Many
of these men complain that they
haven't a thing to do, yet they failed
to be on the job Monday. No doubt
when industrial conditions open up
again many of these fellows will be
on the job complaining and asking
why their union doesn't get their
wages increased for them.
~ ~ ~ ~ -
That was SOME country store at
the big outing Monday, and the ladies
of the Woman's Union Label League
won themselves a lifetime job by
their efforts.

WHY DO WORKMEN ORGANIZl

WHY DO WORKMEN ORGANIZE?
Why do workmen not maintain
their individuality instead of organ
izing? What chance has the worker
for relief from wrong, or the acknow-
ledgment of a right against concen-
trated organized wealth, without or
ganization?
These questions were propounded
recently by President Samuel Com
pers, of the American Federation of
Labor, in a speech before the "Mar-
quette Club of New York City, and
answered by him in his usual lucid
manner.
With all its riches, natural resouces
and men of genius, he continued, the
toilers are asking, why should nearly
FIVE MILLION people be unable to
secure employment?
Answering the charge when con-
cluding his address that we admit
foreigners, radicals, and many who
espouse the cause of revolution into
our labor unions, he said:
"If they are good enough for the
modern trust and proft-mongers,
THEY ARE GOOD ENOUGH FOR
US TO ORGANIZE. The material
with which we have to work is not
of our own choosing. There is no
royal road to the solution of the pro-
blems of life. 1t is the duty of every
man to solve them day by day. The
labor movement can not be crushed
out of existence, no matter what the
program, or what the methods of
those who would destroy it.
