RAILROAD BOARD
Should Be Abolished, Presi-

Observation-Disclosures of the rail
road labor board was recommended
by the president in his annual mes
sage
The theory of having the workers
and railroads represented is opposed,
as this system has proved that both
sides are always partisan, the presi-
dent said. 1t is proposed to have the
labor boards work done at Washing
ton by a division of the interstate
commerce commission, which will be
enlarged for that purpose. The new
scheme rests on the theory that the
commission sets freight and passen-
ger rates, and it should also set
wages when employees and railroad
managers fail to agree.
The president favored wage for
railroad workers that would be with
in the limits the traffic will bear. "
In the case of dividends for railroads,
the chief executive was most explicit
in the call for a living wage" for
the dollar. He said: Railroads are

BUTLER'S RECORD
ASSAILED

Washington. - Senator ELECT Ship
stead, of Minnesota, is opposing the
confirmation of Pierce Butler, who
has been nominated by the president
as a member of the United States
supreme court.
1t is charged that Mr.. Butler is re-
tanned by the Twin City Rapid Tran
sit Company, of Minneapolis and st.
Paul, to prevent an expose of the
"yellow dog" fund alleged to have
been used for corrupt purposes in Sc
curing special privileges from the
Minnesota legislature and the Mime
apolis city council.
Mr.. Shipstead referred to report
by a public utility expert that $2,049,
597 of the company's profits have
been devoted to extraordinary pur-
poses which require investigation"
"The Twin City Rapid Transit Com
pany, with Mr. Butler acting as its
counsel, has sought by every artifice
and technicality to prevent the city
from examining its accounts" said
Mr.. Shipstead. "This contest is still
waged, with Mr.. Butler using his legal
skill to defeat the ends of justice and
prevent the city from uncovering the
purpose for which these secret funds
were disbursed"

count of the development of new ma
chimes and the confining nature of
their occupation demanded the Satur-
day half-holiday. The employers gen
orally acknowledged the justice of the
demand, but made plea for time to
assimilate the change in conditions.
War profteers who were spending
money lavishly in 1919 and 1920 for
printed matter and advertising so
that it might be deducted from their
income and excess profits taxes, made
a boom in the printing industry.
The printers at that time might
have enforced almost any terms they
pleased. But they agreed to defer
the Saturday half holiday for one
year. The employers insisted on two
years. A compromise was reached
and the employers entered into an
agreement to establish the Saturday
half holiday at the end of eighteen
months.
At the expiration of that period of
time, May, 1921, the business depres-
sion had arrived, "defation" was un-
der way. The "open shop" crusaders
were abroad in the land. The en-
ployers violated their contracts and
attempted to convince the public that
the printers were striking for higher
wages in the face of business depres-
sion. There was a great surplus of
labor and the employers, urged on by
the open shoppers, courted strike.
The printers went out but they
went out to win. They have won.
More than 80 per cent of the 10000
men employed in the commercial
printing plants of the country are
back at work under the contracts en-
forced by the strike.
Many of the employers who held
out the longest and some that are still
holding out are not fighting union
printers willingly. They are coerced
and frightened into keeping up the
fight by the open shop element, the
statement says.

Year and Half Struggle Finds Ninety Per Cent of Com

The printers strike, which started

recognize the Saturday half-holiday
in the commercial printing plants, has
been won. In gaining the victory the
printers have been given remark

but in the fact that the international

While this vast sum of money was
spent ly the printers to enforce a
contract agreement there is today in
the international Typographical
Union treasury more than when the
strike started, says a statement issued
from headquarters at indianapolis last
week.
The printers not only fought for the
contract principle to which the union
has adhered for years, but bore the
brunt of the "open shop" crusade. 1t
was not from choice that the printers
engaged in nationwide strike in the
face of the frenzy of the "open shop
campaign conceived by big business
interests Events that led up to the
strike in May, 1921, made it imper-
ative for the printers to take action
or surrender principle.
For many years the printers have
operated under contracts with employ
ers, and these contracts, running over
period of years, have always been
rigidly respected. Because long term
contracts were lived up to during war
times, the wages of printers increased
only 10 per cent while wages ad-
vanced in other trades and the cost
of living scared. In some cases the
discrepancy was SO great that en-
ployers voluntarily gave bonuses.

tracts were opened the printers on ac-

FAV0RS 'CAN'T-STRIKE" Law
PRESIDENT HARDING IN ANNUAL MESSAGE TO
CONGRESS URGES LEGISLATION PRE-
VENTING WORKERS FROM EXERCIS-
ING CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
Soft Words of Nations Chief However Fall Deaf Ears
as Lawmakers Give All Attention to Subsidy Fight

Washington. - In urging cant
strike legislation in his annual mes
sage, the president departs from Ste
reotyped phrases that have SO long
been used by advocates of handcuff
laws
There is nothing harsh in the pres
ident's well-rounded plea "to enforce
decisions of the board" There is no
reference to the "outlawry of strikes
or to court rooms, or bolts and bars
and steel walls that woud arouse the
resistance of workers. Instead, the
suggestion of claiming men to their
jobs is delivered in a gentle, matter
of fact way. In other portions of his
message the president speaks frankly,
but in favoring "can't-strike" laws he
reveals a finesse worthy of Near
East diplomat, and serves notice on
other Allenites to be more Smooth"
and suave in pleading for handcuff
laws.
First, the president is emphatlc
that the constitutional right of work
ers to quit their employment must
not be denied. With that thought i'm
pressed on his audience, the inevitable
BUT appears, as is shown in this
criss-cross logic so common with in
junction judges:
'Let there be no confusion about
the suggested conferment of power
to make decisions effective. There
can be no denial of constitutional
rights of either railway workers or
railway managers. No man can be
denied his right to labor when and
how he chooses, or ceases to labor

when he so elects, BUT, since the
government assumes to safeguard his
interests while employed in an essen
tial public service, the security of
society itself demands his retirement
from the service shall not be so timed
and related as to effect the destruc-
tion of that service"
This lullaby to labor that the gov
ernment guards his interest-instead
of permitting him to guard them him.
self--is followed by the claim that
the administrations "can't-strike"
policy is an accident and if it is not
continued it will reflect on the dig
nifty of government.
The president makes this astonish-
ing statement, which would convey
the impression that his policy was
blundered into rather than carefully
thought out and cautiously developed:
"We have assumed so great re-
sponsibility in necessary regulation
that we unconsciously have assumed
the responsibility for maintained SER
vice; therefore the lawful power for
the enforcement of decisions is neces-
sary to sustain the majesty of gov
ernment and to administer to the
public welfare"
The presidents ''can't-strike" rec
concentrations will hardly be consider
ed at this session, as the administra
tion has the fight of its career to jam
the subsidy bill through the senate.
This means trouble enough now, with
out taking on more. At the next
session of congress several handcuff
senators will pass from public life.

WACES-BY-LAW
Proves Failure in Australia !;
Real Purpose Shown

Washington.-Labo papers from
New South Wales, Australia, receiv-
ed at A. F. of l.. headquarters are
filed with accounts of the fight or
ganized labor is making in that far
off country to stop legalized wage re-
ductions.
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.
1t is further proposed that where
employers claim that SERIOUS unem-
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-
lishment that is operating under
profit-sharing or copartnershlp
scheme.
In other words the bosses have only
to plead poverty to the court or throw
"a few shares of stock to employees, and
they automatically pass out of the In
dustrial courts jurisdiction 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 fig-
ure, and if the proposal carries it will
spread to other states in the Austral-
ian commonwealth.
1t will be recalled that the Aus
tralian system of setting wages by
law was hailed as the Tabor solution

essential service in our social organ
ization without fair return on capi-
tai invested"
The presidents recommendation for
the abolition of the railroad labor
board is in line with recent declara-
tions by several of his political asso-
ciates. Railroad managers do not op-
pose making the establishment of
wages and working conditions a func-
tion of the interstate commerce COM
mission, as this is in line with the
feudalistic theory that there is no diff
ference between freight rates and
wage rates.
