TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE

NEW YORK. June 27.-Too much

interest rates are higher.
Reduction In wages OF certain
classes Of railway employees Is re.
sponsible for threats of strikes by the
union leaders. but despite declara-
tons by the leaders that the men are
strong for a strike there is no par
ticular enthusiasm noticeable in that
direction on the part of the men them
selves.
The leaders themselves might agree
to II but there is no evidence that the
men would join. Outbreaks of violence
among the coal miners have shown
themselves, which suggests the last
phase of the coal strike.

When the anti-union press was

said the railroad managers. The shop

against the strikebreakers when we
return to work, and may the best man
win," was the answer of the shop men
to the seniority cry.

OTHER CITIZENS AND OUTLINE PROGRAM
OF PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION
Labor Chief Attributes Much of Political Evils of Present
and Past to "Unquestioning Allegiance to Party

Washington.-No Nom -pantisanship has
been intensified as the result of a
notable two-day conference in this
city, called by the peoples legislative
service, Senator La Toilette, chair
man, and Congressman Huddleston,
vice chairman.
The outstanding feature of the con-
ference was the determination to face
facts and the knowledge that privilege
is not invulnerable. Not the slightest
reference was made to a third party
Attending the conference were many
senators-elect and congressmen-elect,
as well as henderson, congress. There
was no attempt to adopt rigid pro-
gram, or to pass high-sounding, i'm
possible resolutions, or to outlaw dis
senters. Instead, each member of
congress may go his own way, but if
he wants to deliver effective blows for
progressive legislation voluntary affil-
iation with the progressive group will
make that possible.
The purpose of the conference was
clearly stated by Senator La Toilette
at the opening session. He said it was
intended to carry out the original
plans of the peoples legislative SER
vice, namely, to prepare legislation
to drive out special interests and pro-
ceed slowly and sanely in that direc-
ton.
''The mandate of the last election
was in favor of the progressives get
ting together" he said, "and keeping
elbow to elbow and step to step in adj
vancing the needs of the people. Each
step advanced should be we'll
grounded and sound step in the for
ward movement. We are not seek
ing to accomplish everything at one
stroke"
The system of direct primaries was
declared an essential that must be
extended. The federal reserve board
was scored by speakers from the ag-
ricultural state, especially, Senator
elect Brookhart, of Iowa, declared this
board is controlled by "the non-par-
tisan league of Wall street"

courts for their assumption of author

In breaking this power of party, he
declared, was the hope of real con-

In speech that should make the
ears of Secretary of the Treasury Mel

red to the ease with which corpora
tions pile up surpluses and evade tax

missioner's office, which is unit of
the treasury department, is controlled
by lawyers of little experience, said
Mr.. Frear. 'The solicitor of that

The conference closed with dinner
attended by more than 400 men and
women from every section of the coun-
try. The speakers included Senator's
elect Brookhart, of Iowa; Shipstead,
of Minnesota; Frazier, of North Da-
kota, and Wheeler, of Montana. These
men told the same story of villifca-
ton and in one case threatened lynch
ing by the agents of privilege be-
cause they stood for the people. A
feature of the dinner was the oratory
of Toastmaster Edward Keating, for
mer congressman from Colorado, and
a member of the labor group, in intro
ducing Senator La Toilette, who was
hailed as "the leader of the progress
sive forces of America"

Chicago.-The Daugherty injunc-
tion has failed to drive railroad shop
men back to their employment, and
the policy now is to ignore these work
ers and their effort to stop wage cuts,
contracting of repair work and
lowering of shop conditions.
These workers show that their
movement is no longer a strike" as
they have been locked out since last
July, when they accepted President
Harding's peace settlement This of
fer has been rejected by 81 trunk
lines and 81 short lines, employing
approximately 100000 workers.
These trunk lines and their feeders"
are dominated by high finance and in
clude such systems as the Pennsyl-
vania, Santa Fe, Reading, Burlington,
Southern Pacific, Illinois Central and
Norfolk and Western.
These railroads and their hackers
no longer cry: ''The shop men are
defying government" 1t would ap-
pear that when the railroads, by su-
per human effort, and a disregard for
life and property, maintain a sem
blance of service, the nation is not in
danger
Attorney General Daugherty has
stopped making stump speeches
against the shop men and timid folk
are no longer awed by his recital of
how he rescued civilization from the
abyss of revolution and ruin.
The program now is to maintain
policy of silence. This, the railroads
and their allies believe, will aid them
rather than have newspapers discuss
fatalities, wrecks, delayed trains and
broken down equipment that will in
crease as the weather becomes more
severe.

LABOR WINS
Anti-Union Proposal Beat
en- i'm Massachusetts Vote

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.--The "Sue-and-
be-sued" bill put before the voters of
Massachusetts by referendum in the
recent election was defeated by about
1000 votes, according to information
received by President Gompers from
James Duncan, first vice-president of
the A. F. of L., and president of the
Granite Cutters international Union.
Earlier announcements had said the
measure carried by about 400 votes,
but. the figures upon which Mr.. Dun
can based his telegram were official.
If the bill had become law unincor-
porated unions would have been liable
to suits for damages. The measure
was backed by employers organiza-

cost of operating the u. S. shipping
board is $36,000,000 year Chairman
Lasker has himself admitted that the
cost of ship subsidy will total s52,-
100000 annually, although Senator
Fletcher and others insist that it will
reach $75, 100000 annually. The fig
ures do not agree
Senators and Congressman opposed
to the ship subsidy insist that the gov
ernment will be more successful and
will benefit the country more by oper-
ating its own ships, instead of con-
tracing them out to irresponsible
shippers.
Great Britain, France and Japan
have for years been giving aid to their
merchant marines, most of it indi-
rectly, and the total contribution of all
these countries is now $17000,000 an
nually. The United States has been
paying for many years subsidy to
mail carrying ships, but this is entire
ly aside from the proposed ship sub
sidy of $75,00O,000.
The losses of the shipping board
are largely due to the so-called MO4
contract, by which the government
guarantees to pay all the losses, and,
in addition, 5 per cent on all business
carried in shipping board vessels.
Under this arrangement the govern
ment has been holding the bag, while
private ships of leasing corporations
have taken the profitable business. In
June, 1921, Chairman Lasker prom
ised the senate committee that the
MO4 contract would be eliminated in
six months. 1t is still in operation,
however, and it is apparent that the
shipping board will do nothing to
remedy conditions, and will merely
perpetrate inefficient operation as a
means of disgusting the public with
shipping and forcing. congress to swal-
low the ship subsidy bill in despera-
ton.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-12-15

Outgoing congressman, it is under
stood, were offered comfortable jobs
if the subsidy went through. Outgo-
ing senators have a similar choice of
submission or oblivion. No vote-no
plums. A mess of pottage and a bar
tering of votesl
The facts and arguments on the
measure will be aired in great detail
during the senate discussion. The
progressive senators who are not in
favor of such vicious legislation as the
Lasker bill, even though some of them
favor constructive government aid to
the establishment of a merchant ma
rine, will put up a fight that will
make history. Every kind of political
and social pressure will be exerted
against them. The weak will fall, the
strong will stand
The pending subsidy bill will do
none of the following things claimed
for it as basis of vote getting
improve the wages of American sea-
men, provide an incentive to shipping,
reduce government expenditure, aid
the farmer
At the hearings on the bill, Presi-
dent Andrew Furuseth, of the Sea-
mems Union said in reply to the ar
gument that a subsidy was needed to
compensate shippers for higher wages
paid American seamen:
'As a result of these reductions the
wages of American .seamen are now
much lower than the wages of Cana
dian and Australian seamen; are prac-
tically on level with British wages;
and are substantially higher than the
wages only of Japanese among the
principal maritime nations"
Although President Harding used
the stock labor argument in his adj
dress to congress to get labor support,
Chairman Lasker, himself, said dur
ing the hearings.
''I want to take occasion to say here
that | think the Seamen's act has been
one of the most misrepresen acts
of which / have ever heard. | came
down to Washington believing, as
most people in my part of the country
do, if you repeal the Seamen's act
you would have merchant marine.
That is pure bunk"
The subsidy provides payment of
$11, 900 annually to cargo steamers of
5000 dead weight tons that cost any
where from $250,000 to $1,500,000.
Such a subsidy constitutes no incen-
tive to shippers engaged in commerce.
On the other hand, the subsidy pro-
vides large payments to passenger
steamers. The George Washington,
for instance, which made profit of
$4,000 on it's first voyage, will re-
ceive S300,00O annually from the ship
ping board, grant of money it does
| not need. On the other hand, the
Pacific Mail fleet of twelve ships, dc
ing real business at shipping, will
receive only $150,000 year.
President Harding's argument that
the ship subsidy will mean a saving
to the country of SIS, 100000, is
mot supported by the facts and has
Ibeen entirely shattered by Senator
FLETCHER and others who have made
lstudy Of the problem. The presen
