CITY EMPLOYEES WAGES

In a letter to the city councillnen
last week, Mayor Harry J. Koehler.
Jr., asked that an investigation be
made to determine whether the mu-
nicipal expenditures can be further
curtailed. Mayor Koehler. in his
letter, called the councilmen's atten-
ton to the fact that the city's fnan-
cial condition is such that it is neces-
sary for every department of the CITY
government to practice the strictest
economy. He also asked that the
number of employees and their COM
pensation be investigated to ascertain
what, if any economies might be prac
ticed here.
1t is certainly to be hoped that if
there are any economies practiced in
our municipal departments it will not
include reducing the wages of the en-
ployes in these departments. Good
ness knows our city employees are
not overburdened with wages. 1t
isn't noticed that any of them are
getting rich. If they can lay aside a
few dollars for the inevitable rainy day
they are lucky Surely there must be
some other way that we can cut down
expenses than by reducing the work
ers' wages, and the Press is of the
firm opinion that reducing wages of

why DON'T THEY GO TO
WORK."

How often have you heard someone
say, in discussing the unemployment
problem: why don't they go to
work 2" Usually there is in the speak
er's voice an acridity that indicates
impatience with the subject. Suppose
that all of those now out of employ
ment in the United States-anywhere
from four to five millions-were to
take such advice seriously. What
would happen? Going to work,
whether some employer first hires the
applicant, may turn out to be rather
serious business. For instance, that
is just what the Italian factory work
ers did year ago. They forcibly
took possession of factories from
which they had been locked out, and
proceeded with the process of pro-
duction. The whole capitalist world
stood aghast at the literal taking of
the advice of those who impatiently
cry: "Why don't they go to work 2"
We were gravely told that this action
was revolutionary. 1t was. But it
was, nevertheless, an answer to the
Statesmen" who are constantly cry
ing about mo one needs to be out of
work" Something besides such in
sane advice must be supplied if the
present unemployment question is an
swered. For our part, we are not
overly optimistic about the efficacy
of any of the schemes so far offered.
They are palliatives. We have not

ADDING TO MANS LIFE

When the Cigarmakers' Interna-
tional Union was younger than it is
now and before the eight-hour day
was established in the union branch
of the cigar industry, the average
life of cigarmaker was somewhere
around 80 years. That is to say that
most cigarmakers died between "a and
40 years of age.
Those were the days of sweat
shops and tenement houses, which
have been banished so far as the
union is concerned. The big trust
factories still farm out their work to
living in tenement houses.
Union men work in clean, well-venti-
lated shops. They are piece-workers
and stop work when they have COM
pleted an eight-hour day.
What has this revolution in the
union branch of the cigar industry
done? Let US see. The January jour
nal of the Cigarmakers' International
Union publishes list of 81 deaths
among its membership for November.
The average age at the time of death
was 55 years, or % years more than
in other days. The average length
of membership in the union of the 81
persons who died was 26 years.
Is not that fine tribute to union
labor and the shorter workday? Does
it not show that the reasoning, if
such it may be called, of the anti
unionists is shallow and superficial?
If the shorter workday adds to the
length of human life is it not pretty
good national gain? The extension of
the lives of 81 persons for % years
gave in but one months experience
,173 years, or 35l 900 one-man more
workdays to industry
If unions, through the shortening of
the workday and the Improvement of
working conditions, did nothing more
than promote the health and lengthen
the lives of the workers their ex-
istence would be fully justified and
the union shop, such as is enjoyed by
the cigarmakers, would be completely
indicated.

UNION LABOR'S ANSWER

"Unorganized labor has been the
chief sufferer in the wage cutting"
That statement appears in a survey
of the living cost situation, dealing
with wages and prices
The open shop movement-falsely
styled the American plan," is blow
at the very heart of labor organiza-
tions 1t seeks to render the worker
helpless to resist the heavy burden
that unfair employers would put upon
him.
In time of unemployment and
industrial depression the open shop
advocates put forth their hardest eff
forts. They call to their assistance
hunger, privation, the horrible an
guish that accompanies the inability
to secure job.
The plan is first to dilute organi-
zation and then to make it powerless
1t behooves organized labor, there
fore, to be more on guard than ever,
careful and sane of policy and firm in
sticking together Otherwise, gains
made through years of bitter uphill
struggle will be lost
If there were no injustices crying
aloud for redressing, if there were
not greedy and grasping employers,
if the employers were fair dealing,
well meaning humane men, there
would be no reason for labor organi-
cations.
They came into existence as a pro-
test against intolerable conditions that
workers, single handed, could not re-
dress.
Today, when the world is overflow
ing with wrong, when the worker
is driven and goaded, when an effort
