Reject Wage Board

San Francisco, Dec. 8.-The district council of carpenters refuses to ac- knowledge the jurisdiction of an "in- partial wage board' it had no voice in selecting. The council informs this board:
 "In view of the fact that you are so generously giving your time to the regulation of our affairs, despite our protest, may we suggest one or two other fields of endeavor? We refer you first to the fact that there IS ap- parently a combination between the Standard Oil Company and other oil companies whereby the price of gaso- line and oil is set by secret agree ment and thousands of dollars taken out of San Francisco daily in exorbit- ant profits We refer to Standard Oil Company because local officials of the company were very prominent and active in endeavoring- to foist the American plan on this city and vicin- ity-this plan that you by your activ- ities are trying to perpetuate.

RAILROADS ARE
 MAKING MONEY

Washington, Dec 8.-The great l railroad systems of this country have | been making money this year despite the coal and rail strikes, declared Senator Capper, who produced figures
 to refute the poverty pleas of railroad hnanciers.
 A Wall street agency Is quoted that B great railway systems will increase their dividend rates during the next few months; one of them, the Chi cago & North Western, to Der cent. This year the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway is earning about 2s
 per cent on its preferred stock and I3
 per cent on it's common. Its surplus
 has increased from $35,ooo, 1000 to SIo5, 100000 during the last seven years. Last year, not so good a year
 tor the railroads as this one, the op- erat1ng expenses of the Santa Fe ab-
 sorbed $8o,ooo,ooo of its earnings, 1t
 put $84, 100000 into improvements and added $2o,ooo,ooo to its surplus" said Senator Capper.
 ''This year the Union Pacific is
 earning Is per cent and has a very large surplus, about $2o,
 This year the Burlington is paying It's stockholders 20 per cent divi- dend
 ''This year the Louisville & Nash vile contemplates 50 per cent stock dividend and the Reading and the New York, Chicago & St. Louis are likely to declare extra dividends or special distributions.
 Still later calculations this year, based on nine months of railroad earnings, and they are highly conser- vative calculations, indicate that the Great Northern will earn per cent for its stockholders; the Pere Mar quette, 8.4 per cent; the Chesapeake & Ohio and Southern Pacific, each 10 per cent; the Illinois Central, I4 per cent.
 Stock in Reading has advanced to a new high mark for the year. Cen tral of New Jersey expects to make an extra dividend or distribution
 Pennsylvania increases its dividend from 4 to 6 per cent. Norfolk & Western declares an extra dividend at the rate of 4 per cent year in addition to its regular 7 per cent year dividend
 The Southern Pacific earned per cent last year and will do still better this year. After paying its usual dit1 dend of 20 per cent the, LackaWanna in 1921 paid stock dividend of 100 per cent and IS now on a I2 per cent basis. The Lehigh Valley is paying 7 per cent dividends and earning a good deal more. s*-...
 These are signs, I take it, that these roads are not suffering from lack of business nor from lack of profits We know that the valuation on which transportation charges are based Is liberal The former chief cost accountant of the United States administration estimates that the value of all railroad property in the interstate commerce commissions valuation report will not exceed $I6,- DOC, ,ooo, ,ooo. The present rail rates are based on property investment of $I8,ooo, ,ooo, ,ooo, or nearly $3,ooo, ,ooo,- 900 more" X

BONUS OFFER IS WAGES, NOT GIFT,
 SAYS COURT

Raleigh, N. C., Dec 8.-The state supreme court has ruled that bonus should be considered as wages, and not as a gift.
 The decision was written by Chief Justice Clark, one of the forward looking members of the judiciary of this country.
 The decision was made in the case of Seth Roberts, mill worker, who was not given the promised bonus when he was discharged The mill management said he was discharged "because he was critical of an officer of the law employed there to keep the place clean" There was no claim that Roberts was inefficient or failed to properly perform his duties. It was shown that he remained in the employ of the company because of the mas. He was discharged before that time.
 Chief Justice Clark said the posting to work of Roberts until the end of vided he did his work satisfactory. The discharge of Roberts, unless for sufficient cause, would amount to a breach of contract and was wrong full discharge, said the court
 This bonus," continued Justice Clark, "is not gratuity or a gift, but is an offer on the part of the em- ployer with whom the offer origin ates, in order to procure efficient and faithful employees, and when the em- ploye enters upon the service upon that inducement 1t becomes supple mentary contract of which he can not be deprived without sufficient cause"
 The lower court refused to permit the jury to pass upon the question of whether the discharge was justified. Justice Clark remanded the case back for retrial with orders that the jury consider this question.

FEDERAL CUUKIS WOULD OUTLAW STRIKES:
 RULINGS REVERSE IMPORTANT DECISIONS

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. Eff the United States supreme court sustains decision by two federal courts against our members every strike thereafter will be an interference with interstate commerce and employers can collect domageS," said w. E. Bryan, general president of the Un- ited Leather Workers International Union.
 "The federal courts, from the su- preme court down, have uniformly held that manufacturing IS not com merce,' said President Bryan. None of these decisions were made in so- called labor cases The decision against the leather workers is labor case, and two federal courts have re- versed former decisions and ruled that manufacturing is commerce.
 If sustained, the effect of these de- cisions will be that workers must be held to their task, as any stoppage of production by them means interfer- ence with interstate commerce, and IS therefore unlawful
 "The decisions are the result of a strike of St. Louis leather workers. Their organized employers were granted an injunction by Federal Dis tr1ct Judge Paris on the ground. that the strike made 1t impossible for em- ployers to fill their orders, and that the strike was, therefore, an interfer- ence with interstate commerce.
 Judge Paris then appointed mast CT to determine and assess damages against the individual members of the Leather Workers Union.
 "The court of appeals upheld the decision in a divided opinion, though attorneys for the unionists referred to numerous supreme court decisions that the making of goods and the mining of coal are not commerce. and the production of articles intended for interstate comnierce is a matter of local regulation
 "In a minority opinion, Judge Stone declared that the actual, logical, and inevitable result of the decision will be that every strike in every industry, or even in a single factory, will be within the Sherman antitrust law and subject to federal jurisdiction, pro- vided any appreciable amount of its product enters into, interstate com merce.
 "'The record is entirely barren of even a suggestion that there existed here any actual intent to effect inter state commerce, said Judge Stone. The sole pufpose of this strike was to benefit and strengthen the labor unions here involved.
 "'Nor is there word of testimony tending to show that the respondents had any knowledge of or cared any thing about whether the business of was state or interstate in character. That consideration was to their purpose
 Under this decision," continued President Bryan, "there will be no need for industrial courts or anti strike laws. In fact, the states will lose jurisdiction over strikes, which will pass to the control of the fed eral judiciary. These courts will pass judgment on every strike and award damages to any employer who can not fulfill an order because of strike The decisions, if upheld, will mean that the judiciary has openly assumed the role of strikebreaker"
