WORKERS CALL OFF STRIKE
Review of the Strike Taken From ''The Butcher
Workman Advocate" of Omaha,
Nebraska

plcycs have suffered untold agonies.
They have been without employment
at any wage for over eight weeks. In
many instances all of the savings
have been used up and the workers
are in debt Cold and hunger have
been the daily portion of all these
heroic souls--the only ray Of cheer
being derived from the fact that they
We're fighting a battle in the age-old
conflict cf the toiling masses against
the oppression Of greed and tyranny.
But cold and hunger is nothing
new to the members of the working
class. Under the regime Of greed the
workers have become accustomed to
go cold and hungry even when there is
no strike. Ofttimes they are laid off,
in the dead Of winter and allowed to
shift for themselves when the packer
goes on strike.
The accumulation of wealth has
never had any place in the thoughts
of the packlnghouse worker. He has
been glad indeed when he has been
allowed to earn enough to satisfy the
demands of absolute necessity. His
only hope as a workingman is to ele-
Vata the standard of living.
From a financial standpoint there
fore the strikers have not lost They
never did have any wealth and the
most of them never expected to have
any. They have suffered it is true,
but they have always suffered, and if
they realize that the best they got at
any time is precarious living and the
capitalist system MUST give them
enough to at least keep in physical
condition to be able to make profits,
they will not let the loss of this skir-
mish discourage them but will reor-
ganize THEN forces and continue the
fight until the profit system is abol-
ished and all shall have an opportu-
nifty to live as men and women Of this
age of civilization, should live.
The way the workers look at this
question vii. decide the answer to it.
If they will recognize the recent strike
as a battle in the ages-old war of spe-
cial privilege against the rights of
the common people, they will not re-
gard it as a defeat but will take
courage in the fact that they were
able to hold out SO long against such
great odds. Their battle was just
one, and is recognized as such by the
great majority cf the public and it is
our opinion that despite all the prop
aganda of the packers there will be a
reckoning soon that will reward the
workers for all of the sacrifices they
have made.

WAS THE STRIKE LOST?
AND BY WHOM?

This is a question that is deserving
of the careful consideration of every
person - whether he he packer or
packer employe.
In order to arrive at the proper So
luton of the question it is necessary
to consider the economic position of
each of the contesting parties at the
beginning of the strike and also at
the time it was called off.
When the strike was called the
packer was in a very healthy condi-
tion. So healthy in fact that he
imagined he could defy all the laws
of humanity and justice which are
supposed to enter into the relations
between employer and employe, and
automatically cut wages or alter
working conditions regardless Of the
welfare of his employees or the COM
munity at large.
After a struggle Of over eight
weeks duration it would appear at
first glance that the packer was vic
torious and that he has succeeded in
maintaining his autocratic position
but did we have a chance to know the
real state of the packers mind, it is
very likely that he is a very much
chastened individual, and will study
long and carefully before forcing an
other such strike at the insistance of
group of efficiency experts" and
welfare sharks
The fact of the matter is that the
packers Call of them) have been hit
mighty hard, and had the strikers
been able to hold their ground for
but a short time longer there is little
doubt that the packer would have
been compelled to settle the strike at
the terms of the strikers.
Even as it is the packinghouses are
in such a deplorable state that it will
be MANY months before the packer
will have them reorganiZed on a basis
of profit making efficiency. and this
Job will be made doubly difficult by
reason of the fact that the workers
will not be in a frame of mind tC
take up the work of reorganization in
spirit of cooperation.
Then, too, the autocratic position
assumed by the packer has been Sc
palpably unfair, inhuman and utterly
ruthless as to receive the condemna
tion of even the people who in times
pas have doubted the charge of the
toilers that their employers We're un-
Just in the treatment of their EN-
ployes.

Beware of Fake
Labor Movement
Advertising Men

Thee Executive Council of the State
Federation of Labor, at its last meet
ing, had under cosideration again the
question Of advertising, educational
and other agencies that purport to
operate in the interests of organized
labor and that canvass different bust
ness establishments for advertising
anG finances and use the prestige of
the organized labor movement in
connection Herewith.
Considerable dissatisfaction has
been expressed to the Federation
from different centers as a result of
these practices, and instances have
been cited where gross misrepresen-
tations have been made and where
agreements and understandings en-
tered into had not been carried out,
and where the best interests of our
movement have been injured as a re-
suit.
The Executive Council asked me to
write and warn the different locali-
ties against having anything to do
with any agency that is not Operat-
ing as q part of, and authorized by,
the legitimate labor movement itself.
have also been instructed to write
the State Federation of Labor of ad
joining states, warning them against
certain agencies that have operated
in Washington lately, whose activi
ties have not been satisfactory to the
labor movement of those localities in
which they have been operating,
The State. Federation of Labor has
no desire to'interfere in the slightest
way with the work of Central Labor
Councils, but is merely sending this
message as friendly warning to be
careful against lending Endorsement
to Independent and private enter
prises that generally makes glowing
promises but invariably operate to
the detriment of our movement, as
has been strongly evidenced in sew
cral localities in our state during the
past year.

Company Union" Not Voluntary
They well understand that no man
voluntarily and willingly accepts such
rule. And they DO not undervalue
the moral effect upon the victimized
workers of successful resistance to
tyranny of other men of labor who
are enrolled in the legitimate organ
izations of the working people. Hence
they are fearful; hence in their fear
they evangelize and eXhort their la
borers with blather on loyalty to the
company" 'fealty to the company's S
interest" fair treatment for the
company"
They clear the factory floors for
bi-monthly dances at which the pres
ident of the company and his wife
are the guests of honor and receive
the homage of the workers and their
families. Then when they think the
proper "loyal" sentiment has been
aroused they cut wages or lengthen
hours THROUGH a company meeting"
at which they are told. through their
alleged "shop committee that the
company needs monev to pay divi-
dends, or to increase capital invest
ment," or to extend invested func-
tions," or Surplus for fixed charges" ,"
all of which is as Sanslrit to the
"loyal" workers-iust what it is in

Workers Always Lost
Still the workers realie, ever
though they do not gasp the ridIlo
of terms, that it is a G, e. sort of
union or partnership in which they
always lose and the company always
wins.
That single ray of mental light
that slight vision of unfair division,
portends the breaking up of the
company union" And that is what
is taking place now, because the
company union is bound to go up
on the rocks the moment it steers its
course by the chart upon which it is
rganied-tearing down the living
standard of the workers.
