consideration of those who believe
that wages and salaries must return
to the standards of 1913. The earn
ing power of a man today, better
equipped, better educated, more pro-
ductive, because of mechanical aids,
does not have to return to the stand
ard of 1913 to establish a normal
balance of earning and productive
power. That this is not the tendency
is shown by every measure which you
can apply Between 1914 and 1920
the wage scales of this country in
six years increased by hourly wages
one hundred and fifty per cent; by
weekly wages, one hundred and twen-
ty-three per cent. The average fam
lily income in the United States in
1910 was 81 ,470 In 1919, $2,700.
These are not imitation instances.
They are the evidences, exaggerated,
if you please, and subject to some
setback, but the evidences of dis
tinct and sound economic tendency in

new PARTY
Sentiment Unknown in Cap
ital

Washington-Th is no new
party" sentiment among progressive
lawmakers who have returned to
Washington from their homes to at
tend the special session of congress.
Many of the progressives have a
suspicion that reaction would favor a
new party, rather than the present
non-partisan plan of dealing blows
from the inside
No progressive has declared for a
new party or intimated, since the
election, that such plan is feasible
These men are alert to the power they
now possess. They declare they will
show this power by defeating the ship
subsidy bill and debating the organiz-
ing of the next congress. They are
not willing to surrender this power
by wandering off into a minority
party The latter policy would be
acceptable to reaction, which is fear
full that the progressives will force a
special session of congress and rip the
tax question, the railroad question
and other nerve centers wide open.
Senator La Toilette is quoted that
"a new party must be matter of evo-
luton and cannot be established
through meeting of any group of men
and adopting resolutions"
This seems to be the opinion of
other progressives and is in line with
] the nations political history.

Phoenix, Ariz. - Governor-elect
Hunt announces the appointment of
H. S. McCluskey to the office of pri-
vate secretary to the governor, effec-
tive the first of the year, when the ad-
ministration changes. The appointee
is a New Yorker, formerly an officer
Of the Brooklyn Flint Glass Workers
Union and also a former member
and officer of the International Union
of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers.
At the present time he is president of
the Arizona State Federation of La
Dor and editor of the Arizona Labor
Journal.
"McCluskey is considered one of the
ablest labor officials in the west and
his appointment is received with much
satisfaction by the laboring people of
Arizona" said Thomas A, French,
secretary treasurer of the State Fed

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
HEAD URGES INCREASE
OF WAGES AND SALARIES
Says Ability to Produce More By Aid of Machinery
Increases Earning Capacity of Workman and
His Earning Value as Well

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. c. julius H.
Barnes, president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States,
stands for program of higher wages,
according to speech made here last
week. Intelligent merchandisers
throughout the country have long ad-
mitted labor's contention that higher
wages mean more buying of commodi-
ties, necessitating increased and more
efficient production, which in turn
makes possible the payment of still
higher wages. Mr. Barnes said he
was submitting his statement "for
the consideration of those who be-
lieve that wages and salaries must
return to the standards Of 1918" He
said:
This ability to produce more and
more things with fewer and fewer
employees and therefore, lower costs,
can not help but by the very pressure
of this ever-increasing industrial pro-
duction press into more and more
homes. The very industrial produc-
tion itself and its increase assures US
of wide distribution of the buying
power of our people. That production
can not be secured or maintained by
the expenditures of the concentration
of wealth in the hands of few 1t
can only come from a very widely dis
semiated earning and spending power
of our people generally.
LAS the ability of each worker to
produce more by the aid of mechani-
cal processes increases the earning
capacity and the earning value of that
worker increases. That is q very SER
ious statement and l submit it for the

HUNTS BIG COME
BACK"

Phoenix, Ariz-One of the sensa-
tions of the elections in the southwest
was the success of George w. P. Hunt,
who was elected governor by the larg-
est vote ever given candidate for
that office in this state. The new
governor held that office several
years ago and earned the enmity of
the copper barons because he refused
to admit strikebreakers and gunmen
into this state during the Metcalf
copper strike. Since then Governor
Hunt has battled to save the direct
primary. He entered the present con-
test for governor with nothing but
the plain people behind him. He had
no newspaper and no party organiza-
ton.

ed" from immature girls and little
children.
Stock dividends and other forms of
concealed profits are found in every
industrial and commercial group.
Even railroads, masters of the art of
telling hard-luck stories, announce
s toe k dividends, while cash
dividends in excess of the regulation
5h per cent, are quite common.
Only recently on the floor of the
senate Mr.. Capper, of Kansas, charg-
ed the railroads with concealing pro-
fits, yet the public is continually warn
ed that the roads are facing bank
ruptcy, while the railroad labor board
rejects the shop mems living wage de-
mand.
The textile industry, which has at
tempted to reduce wages and is re-
sponsible for long strike the past
summer, is now declaring stock divi-
dends. Issues of so, 100 and 200 per
cent by capitalists who used the state
to oppress their employees are COM
mon.
The significance of stock dividends
and other profit concealments is not
discussed by our "molders of public
opinion"
Those who have the publicity ma
chinery to enlighten the people on
this subject are in the stock k-dividend
game themselves. They, too, are in
terested in profit, despite their idealis-
tic pretenses.

After Congressman Keller with
drew from the proceeding the COM

dangled this threat before the public
gaze. Finally the bluff became too

Stock dividends indicate a profit
that is above and beyond fair profit
on an investment. Workers struggle
for living wage, but the dollar is
always guaranteed a fixed interest
rate. This interest rate is charge
on industry, as is salaries, the cost of
raw material, taxes and wages.
After these and other charges are
paid, profit is considered When this
profit is inordinate, the stock dividend
is used to conceal excessive income.
The stock dividend is proof that the
people are being gouged. 1t also indi-
Gates the enormous values others have
created and which are now centered
in the hands of those who refuse
workers living wage and the right
to organize.
Stock dividends are an answer to
the continuous whine by the defenders
of reaction and privilege that alleged
high wages are drag on industry
The stock dividend is evidence that the
gouger and profiteer are making new
records and that wage earners are not
being justly compensated.
The stock dividend does not tell
the full story of corporate profits.
Behind these are princely salaries and
numerous funds and holdings that can
not be untangled or understood save
by one acquainted with the intrica-
cies of accountancy.
The trickery of corporations in
concealing profits is indicated by the
recent account of how a well-known
sand -10-cent store corporation "lost"
profits aggregating s20,000,00O.
This concern was carrying on it's
books good will" as an asset, which
it valued at $5O,OO0,O0O. Aside from
some leaseholds, this asset was in
tangible and pure guesswork. The
corporation had profits of $20,000,000
piled up, and to dispose of these pro-
fits it voted to reduce the $50,000,000
"good will" asset to $30,000,000.
In other words, the corporation
took $2O,000,OO0 from one pocket and
put it in another pocket. BY this
jugglery $20,O0O,000 in profits were
wiped out, with the money remaining
in the hands of the corporation.

"The time has arrived when con-

any, the trade unions are to the pub

The issuance of stock dividends is
the best proof that the fruits of in
dustry are being divided unequally,
and that the wage workers claims are
justified.
Stock dividends is another name
for capitalizing profits.
The reason for stock dividends is
to avoid the income tax; fear that
congress will tax undivided profits,
and desire to extend profits over a
larger issuance of stock so the pub
lies attention will not be attracted
by excessive profits.

This stock is called "stock dividends,

although it is an extra issue of the

DAUGHERTY HEARING ENDS
BECAUSE PREJUDICE RULES
''HOUSE OF HIS FRIENDS"
Keller Forced to Withdraw, Leaving Committee to Bluff
and Whitewash-Inqury to Be Carried
Into Next Congress

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty may soon be greeted
with verdict of approval by the
house committee on judiciary, but he
will not be through with trouble.
Congressman Oscar Keller, who i'm
peached Daugherty in the house, find
ing himself confronted with a hope
lessly biased committee, withdrew
from the hearings in disgust, but in
dicated that his action then was not
to be the end of the effort to bring
out the facts about Daugherty's Off
cial conduct.

more biased proceeding than the
hearing presided over by Congress
man Volstead With four lame
ducks" on the committee there ap
parently was feeling that no harm
could be done by going the whole route
in supporting Daugherty.
After hearing testimony on one
count out of fourteen, the whole in
vestigation blew up with bang, with
Keller taking himself out of the case.
Witnesses were bounded, brow
beaten, humiliated and generally given
to understand that they instead of the
accused Attorney General were the
ones under fire.
Fire in Mass Formation
Committee members, aStute law
yers, joined en- masse in firing ques-
tions at witnesses. The committee
also followed a policy calculated to
wear out those handling the case for
Congressman Keller. Documents
which the congressman asked for
were produced only when sessions be-
gan, thus allowing no opportunity for
adequate examination. Counsel also
found it necessary to work far into
the night in order to prepare for
the next days hearings because of
this policy of producing documents
only at the last minute.
Everything was done to make it
difficult for witnesses who came to
tell of their experience or to give
what information they had. Every
thing was done to make it difficult
for Congressman Keller and his chief
counsel, Jackson Ralston, to make
adequate preparation from day to day
and every affront possible was heaped
upon them.
