Optimistic For Future.
<. BY G. w. ROBERTS,
Chairman "A. F.. Of Il. Legislative
Committee


Many strikes have been averted
by the cleverness of the representa-
tives Of labor. Sometimes the meth
Cd used: was humorous. This was
the case when w. d. Mahon, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Street and, Electrical Rail-
way Employees, changed an ultima
tum from the president of an inter-
urban line in Illinois to a peaceful
settlement. Rejection Of the ultima
tum would have meant q strike.
Among the street railway boys
Mahon is known as .'.Old Bill,'s a
name given by himself. During. q
meeting In 1903 of Representatives
of employers, labor, and society in
the picture gallery in the palatial
mansion of Mrs. Potter Palmer in
Chicago, August Belmont, owner 81
the einterurban properties in New
York, had told of the wonderful
welfare plan adopted for the bene-
fit of the street railway employees,

.Gonpers Issues Labor Day
Message Of Congratulations,

:, Washington, D. c., Aug. 28.--In
the leading editorial in the forth
coming issue Of the American Fed
.erationist, Samuel Gompers,, presi-
dent of the American Federation OF
Labor, declares that, the wage re-
duction and union smashing" cam
paign has been unsuccessful and that
"organized labor groups have every
reason to congratulate their men,
bership with the coming of Labor
day, 1922, because OF the solidarity
of the working people,"
1T is safe to say that the, full
volume of wage reductions since the
armistice, if averaged up and spread
over the working population, would
amount to less than five per cent"
Mr.. Gompers said, adding that this
is stark defeat for employers
1T is magnificent victory for the
workers." he continued. There are
no terms too strong to describe the
Importance of this victory for labor.
It is a victory in the celebration Of
which every useful citizen can join
because the purpose of those employ
ers who sought to reduce wages was
not to reduce the final cost Of COM
modities, not so that there might be
a larger volume of commodities pro-
duced, but it was so that there might
be larger profit in the production
of commodities, a lower wage for
the worker and a relatively higher
cost to the consumer"
