U. S. AGAINST SUBSIDY
 By I. l.. Coulter.


 Secretary, International Association
 of Oil Field, Gas We'll and Re
 fnery Workers of America
 President Harding and his col leagues plainly see from the reflection in the mirror of our last general cleo ton that the people of the United States do not want such law enact ed. Therefore the reason for calling a special session of Congress to arbi- trarily force this bill through, if pos sible, before the Wall street puppets must relinquish their seats to their progressive successors. The people of the United States do not want in dividual, group or class legislation, and every effort should be put forth to prevent such being arbitrarily forced upon them.
 The American people to an extent are losing confidence i'll constitutional government as maneuvered as 1t has been by Big Business and such legis- lation as proposed by our President in the ship subsidy bill only adds fuel to the revolutionary propaganda that is already falling on attentive ears.

A COST PLUS PLAN By G. w, Perkins,

President, Cigar Makers 1nternation-
 al Union.
 If we subsidize the so-called ship marine for the purpose as stated, of enabling our ships to compete with the ships of foreign nations, the for eign nations would immediately sub sidize their ship owners, reduce wages or otherwise cheapen the cost of ship ping by water. We, in that event, be- ing bound by a twenty-year contract on the cost plus plan, would have to increase our subsidy to the American ships. Such system leads nowhere, except to piling up taxes on the inno- cent, burden-bearing masses. Some are bold enough to say that the ques- ton of subsidizing our ships origi- mated in foreign countries. The idea is that if America subsidies it's ships it would give these foreign ship own CTS an excuse to go to their own gov ernment and demand an equal subsidy for their ships. The whole system of subsidizing or anything else Is eco- nomically and financially unsound and perniciously vicious and should under no circumstances be tolerated.

CLASS LEGISLATION By Daniel I. Tobin

General President, International

 In every instance I have found that all classes ,as a unit, are opposed to the passage of this measure. In many instances business men, as well as~the workers, call it "steal' from the American people in behalf of certain shipping interests. They say, "If the government has the right to sub sidize the shipping interests, why not subsidize the farming interests which are suffering as a result of the many pcrplexing conditions that surround agriculture" They say, "Why not subsidize the packing houses or the packing industry, so that the price of meat may be reduced?" In short, the masses of people say that no special

AN ENDLESS DRAIN By ]. P. Noonan,
President, International Brotherhood
 of Electrical Workers.

President, International Brotherhood
 of Electrical Workers.
 We are entirely in accord with the American Federation of Labor on the ship subsidy bill, because we are fully convinced that the public have been systematically robbed and burdened with taxes; first, by paying the rail roads unearned money; second, on a more gigantic scale by the passage of the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill and because our experience with such legislation leads us to the belief that a ship subsidy, however innocent ap- bearing at the time of it's birth, will develop into feeding trough for cer- tain financial interests whose appetite will prove unsuitable, and while the first year of its operation may cost what our financially erudite admins tratlon may term a nominal sum of $5o,ooo,ooo year, difficulties and exigencies will continuously develop that will cause expenditures far more than $5o,ooo,ooo year. An in debtedness of this nature under a contract such as proposed would, in my opinion, be progressive, and if the tenth year would see the country es- caping an indebtedness for that year of $2oo, ,ooo it would, in my opin- ion, not only surprise those who de sired it, but would also surprise the oldest and most capable of our po1i- ticianS

 These figures do not include coast wise trade, in which only American vessels are permitted.

By International Labor News Service

President Harding is intent upon eliminating the Madden amendment which was fastened on in the House and which provides for annual ap- propriations for ship subsidy. The administration measure permitted the subsidies, their subsidiaries, and bene- hciaries to feed indefinitely at the U S. treasury trough without future supervision by Congress- The pro- ponents of the bill know that Con- gress would repudiate the scheme af- ter a years trial, and they want no- body to interfere with their little game.
 The fight against the ship subsidy is concentrating in the Senate Labor is turning all it's guns against the measure A few of the protests of trade unionists throughout the United States are published herewith because of their significance.

Wages-By-Law Fails; Real Purpose
 Is Shown

Washington, Dec. I5:-Labor pa pers from New South Wales, Aus tralia, received at A. F. of L. head quarters are filled with accounts of the fight organized labor is making in that far-off country to stop legalized wage reductions.
 Under the law an arbitration court sets wages. The government pro- poses to deprive all state employees of the benefits of the law and to debar the court from setting wages of rural workers.
 It is further proposed that where employers claim that "serious une1n- ployment" has resulted or will result from the operation of an award wages-by-law will not apply. Neither will wages-by-law apply in an estab- l1shment that IS operating under a proft-sharing or copartnership scheme.
 In other words,' the bosses have only to plead poverty to the court or throw few shares of stock to em- ployes, and they automatically pass out of the industrial courts jurisdic- tlon and can pay any rate of wages they like.
 New South Wales trade unionists declare the bill IS a measure to force wages down to the lowest possible figure, and if the proposal carries it will spread to other states in the Australian commonwealth. It will be recalled that the Aus tralian system of setting wages by law was hailed as the labor solution" 20 years ago. It is now falling to pieces ,and the claims of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor are again justified.
 Despite the experience, President Harding advocated the same system in his annual message in terms just as glowing as was used in Australia when the system was established
