CARPENTERS TAKE
TEN PERCENT CUT
FOR COMING YEAR

Members of Carpenters Union No.
a., of Champaign and Urbana, have
agreed To accept 10 per cent reduc-
ton in wages for the. coming year.
This decisi6n was reached after
several weeks deliberation, and was
finally decided upon at special meet
ing held Monday night.
This is the second voluntary cut of
the season, the painters having vol
unfairly reduced their pay from 81 to
80 cents an hour several weeks ago.
1t is we'll known that building con-
tractors are clamoring for cuts all
along the line, but so far as known
there is no indication that other build
ing tradesmen will follow the Car
penters. On the contrary, it is be-
lieved in union circles that the rest
of the building tradesmen will "stand
pat" on last years scale.
However, union meetings of a spe-
cial nature are coming thick and fast
these days, and the matter of accept
ing cuts is being given due considera-
ton.
Following closely upon the an
nounced reduction of the carpenters,
came a report that building material
had advanced considerably the first
of the week, and it is said doors and
windows advanced fifty per cent,
which, if true, will offset any benefit
the builder may have gained in the
reduction of wages granted by the
carpenters.

ARE BANKERS IN
CAHOOTS WITH
OPEN SHOPPERS?

There is a report which seems TO
be well founded that local bankers
with single exception recently mott
fed contractors of the Twin Cities
that unless there was a reduction on
wages to building tradesmen, the
banks would not advance loans TO the
contractors to carry on their work.
This condition of affairs is hardly
conceivable In a community that Is as
progressive as this, and we don't mind
saying that we do not believe local
bankers would be so short sighted as
TO take the course indicated, knowing
as they undoubtedly do that the pros
perity of the workers means the pros
perity of the cities.
However, so persistent is the report
that a great many laborites place
much credence in it, and say il Is a
part of the open shop" movement,
and is really the cause of contractors
demanding the building tradesmen
taking wage reductions.
That pressure has been brought to
bear upon contractors is the belief of
some labor leaders who are close to
the feelings Of the contractors, many
of whom, they say, are really not In
favor of reduced wages, and who
admit that local wages are at the
present time none too high, consider
ing the high cost of living in the
Twin Cities.

EMPLOYERS AND
PAINTERS SETTLE
BY ARBITRATION

There is every probability that the
trouble between the union painters
and their employers will be settled
within the next few days, and the
men will be back at work, probably
Monday morning.
Consultation between the opposing
groups has been instrumental in re-
opening arbitration of the. differences,
and both sides decided to submit their
causes to the decision of an arbitra-
tor, who, Thursday afternoon, heard
the claims of both workmen and em-
ployees. The men, it is said, contend
ed for the original scale of $1.10 an
hour for paper hangers and 81 an
hour for painters, while the employers
are holding out for so cents flat.
1t is the belief, however, that the
arbitrator will take living conditions,
of work, ETC., into consid-
Grafton and base his award accord
ingly.

proceedings we're in progress.

PRoFITEERING IN
SHOES UNCOVERED
by EDITOR BAiNE

Editor Baine, of the Shoe Workers
Journal, lifts the lid" on shoe prices,
and IN. explaining why labor refuses
/ ID nrce1A Wkke reductions m f11i4 IN.
Austry he shows who II prUIIleexsItk.
Before the war, he says, the labor
cost Of a pair Of shoes retailing NJ
S3.b0 ranged around 90 cents. Later
this shoe sold as high AS xi2, and the
labor cost advanced 10 ~, or sh per
cent Of the retail price.
"Shoes that retailed at $40 or over
would show a still smalled percentage
OF labor cost In proportion 10 the
selling price at retail" he says.
During the period of advance, shoe
prices were made without reason.
The excuse given the consumers WAS
the high cost Of material and labor.
One man who paid SIS for pair OF
shoes was blaming labor for II lie
was asked what he supposed labor
received for making that pair Of
shoes, and he replied: Probably four
or Ave dollars" When told that labor
received less than S1.30 he was as
founded.
"For something over a year we
have had a falling market for shoe
materials. Prices for shoe materials
now very nearly equal pre-war prices.
Yet manufacturers seem unable To
make shoe prices anywhere near pre-
war levels.
"A manufacturer said he wanted 10
make ghoc 10 sell to dealers at go,
10 be sold at retail at 50. and would
like a reduction in labor cost. The
same shoe used 10 be sold 10 the re-
taller at s2.S5 and retailed at 81.
Labor receives about 40 cents per
pair more on that shoe.
Labor WAS asked TO contribute
from its 40 cents 10 help the manu-
facturer sell nj SO what he used to
sell at $2.S6, when bis market for
raw materials Ii nearly the same as
before the war.
..There are other instances OF pro
posed reduction in labor cost that
have no better foundation than the
one lust related. Ii Is not strange
that labor is not enthusiastic 10 CO.
operate for such ends.
"These policies are among the caus-
es Of the public resentment against
the shoe business that results In the
jeering of shoe manufacturer on
the floor Of the House Of Representa-
tives at Washington
"We know there are circumstances
somewhat extenuating, such as hlRn
rents, freight and other expenses, but
still IL Is In order for manufacturers
10 introduce a little team work into
their lead pencils.
Labor declines 10 be the goat for
the public prejudice 10 pay the
freight for margins that few years
ago would have seemed extremely ex-
travagant."-Ex.

WAGES COMING
DOWN; LIVING

These are days Of funny doings.
Everybody but labor itself is asking
for reduced wages, while on the other
hand business men make no secret of
the fact that the necessities of life
are to cost more next fall than they
do at the present time.
So, if business is dull now, what
will it be later with wages down and
