CONDITIONS OF LABOR AND " LABORERS IN FOREIGN LANDS

workmen being compensated in ac- cordance with an overtime schedule.
 SCOTLAND
 Engineering Lockouts.-After a dispute lasting II weeks, and as the result of a ballot showing majority of slightly over two to one in favor of resuming work, the lockout notices affecting the engineering unions of the Edinburgh district have been withdrawn as to all but three engi- neering trades units. Immediate em- ployment will be provided for as many men as possible under terms of settlement calling for a wage redLc- ton of $2o7 a week, at this time, and a further reduction of 66 cents a week in September.
 SPAIN
 Strike.-A strike affecting about 75 per cent of the approximately 3o,ooo workmen employed in the iron and steel industry of the Province of Wis caya was declared on May IS, 1922, and Is still in progress as the result, it is said, of the employers announce ment of a 20 per cent. reduction in wages.
 SWEDEN
 Relief Appropriation.-In order to continue the unemployment doles and relief work, fifty million crowns have been appropriated for the re- mainder of the calendar year, making a total of eighty-fve million crowns wFs~h have been appropriated for these purposes for the year 1922.
 SWITZERLAND
 Tourist Traf6c.-The Swiss Hotel Keepers Association has pointed out that the average night lodgings sold to foreign visitors during 1o2I-1o22 were 45 days use for each available bed; whereas, before the war, it was 100 days per bed. The association is urging a reduction of railway rates in order to attract a larger volume of tourist traffic.

STICK TO YOUR GUNS.
 BANK TELLS MINERS: |FAVORS HIGH WAGES
Pennsylvania Institution Advocates Heretica1 Doctrine on Busi-
 ness Attitude.

1 It's the exception that proves the rule when a bank comes out hat-foot- 1 ed on the side of workers when they are at grips with the empolyer over | a question of wages-but the thing does happen.
 l It happened when the Merchants Banking Trust Company, Mahanoy City, Pa, undertook a discussion of the coal strike, Mahaney City is in the heart of the anthracite region It's ! dealings are with coal miners and operators. But its sympathies, as they are expressed by D. F. Guinan, secretary and treasurer, seem to be with the men. -,- ,s---~- '"--' It tells the men to Ego to it" and to stick to their co1ors until their strike is won. "No arbitration, no compro- mise, no commission or tribunal to pass on the question of wages" says recent bank bulletin. "The wage question should be settled directly with the operators, without outside interference. A fight to the finish now means the end of threat of wage reductions It is a good fight and worthy of sacrifice
 This bank also has some rather un- usual ideas on the question of wages. Illustrating:
 Wages should not be discussed from the standpoint of the cost of living. That has nothing to do with the question.
 Labor leaders that argue for a liv- ing wage should be called to the rear. Abler men must go to the front.
 "What is living wage? The mine mule gets food, care and shelter-a he
 "The black man, when held i'll bon dage by the slave owners of the South, got bed and board-a living wage for the slave.
 "The master took all over and above the price of his keeping.
 Tt is nonsense to talk of a living wage or a saving wage. Wages should be based on profits. That means an equitable distribution among the lac tors of production.'
 The entire theory of economics of the wage-Cutting employer Is explod- ed in these sentences:
 The higher the wages in mining the higher the rates in other lines of ] work and the higher the charge for service from professional men. High wages mean more money in the channels of business, consequent ly more profits for merchants. "Higher wages mean greater Oppor- tunities for business and lead to high CT prices for rent.
 ''In this way, a fight against reduc- ton and for maintenance of present | schedule of wages concerns every property owner, business man, pro- fessional man and every banker
 For the more money earned, the more money is spent, and the more money stored or deposited. The strike is everybody's fight and the front line trenches is the place for every person in this region"

CANADIAN LABOR WON'T DO WORK OF
 U. s. STRIKERS
Dominion Shopmen Will Refuse to Keep American Engines
 Going.

Ottawa, Ont, July 2I.-Employes
 of United States railways operating in Canada are closely watching the strike of the shop crafts in the re-
 public, in which they have a direct
 personal interest.
 Shop craft workers on the seven
 lines entering the dominion have been notified by their international officers not to do any work on engines used in international traffic. The purpose of this order is to prevent unionists of Canada from being used as strike breakers.
 Under dominion law United States railroads can not legally reduce wages of shopmen employed by them in this country before the question has been submitted to conciliation board. It is claimed by the govern ment that the industrial disputes in vestigation act almost makes 1t illegal for the men to strike before an at tempt is made to adjust the issue in the manner prescribed by the law.
 It is declared by union officials, however, that any attempt to compel Dominion shop men to do anything that will interfere with the success of the strike in the states will be fol- lowed by general walkout.
 James Somervif1e, international vice president of the Machinists, states that the shopmen in Canada will also strike if the Canadian roads persist in their attempt to impose the terms announced during May, par ticularly with regard to straight time for Sunday and overtime.
 If the companies proposal in this respect is accepted, we will debase Sunday the same as in the United States, and conditions which we be- lieved we had overcome more than 20 years ago will be back" Somer- vile states.

In return their wages were increased at least $I.65 per eight-hour day, and for month of 20 working days their return was at least $42.oo Yet they contributed but $I per month to sup port their own union. The workers who have dropped their own union and lent their aid to the packers com pany 'union,' to which the packers said no dues were to be paid, have been reduced $I.1o per Io-hour day, or $28.6o per month of 26 working days.

EVOLUTION WRECKED
 APPRENTICE SYSTEM

Chicago, July 2I.-"Employers for the most part do not find it proftabel to employ apprentices" writes Harry A. Stone, of the Philadelphia Build ers' Exchange and Employers Asso- citation, in the Constructor, published in this city. MT. Stone is secretary of the labor commission of the Phila- delphia organization and dissents from those who fippantly blame la bor unions for the decline of the ap- prentice system. He says the evolu- ton of the industry is more to blame for conditions than to definite re- strictions or to the disinclination of young men to enter the trades
 "The new apprenticeship system" he says, must be built up on a basis which fully recognizes the revolu- l tionary changes of the past few years. Employers for the most part do not
 find it profitable to employ appren- | tices. In certain cases their pres ence on actual construction work
 tends to slow down the work of journeymen. The individual employ
 CT, unless actuated by a strong sense of responsibility toward the future of
 his trade, is unwilling-and in some instance make provision for the employment of apprentices,
 and at best finds it difficult to pro- vide such steady employment as will
 attract young men to take up the
 training
 This must be met by a system
 under which trade organizations shall
 assume the responsibility for the
 training of apprentices and their | placement with individual employers,
 thus insuring continuity of employ ment for apprentices"

 Maker.

Unable to secure sufficient fuel to operate his Detroit plant, Henry Ford has offered to lease a portion of the Louisville & Nashville railroad land operate it with the present force of railroad employees"
 Ford's Detroit, Toledo & Ironton workers are not striking, not being affected by wage cuts, the manage ment ignored the order of the Labor Board. The automobile maker is also operating mines at Banner Fork, Ky, through arrangements made with miners.
 His offer to lease was made after the management of the Louisville & Nashville had informed Ford 1t was unable to move 8,ooo cars of coal con- signed to Detroit industries because of albor troubles The offer included taking over the railroads equipment on this branch.

GERMAN LABOR IS MAKING BIG GAIN
 AS WAR RESULT
Tremendous Development Followed Peace as People Got Chance
 to Speak.

While the workers of the United States and other nations have been desperately fighting since the ter mination of the World War for rights they enjoyed before the conflict, Ger man workers have gained tremend- ously as a result of that upheaval, the National Industrial Conference Board declares.
 This board is an organization of manufacturers. It has been investi- gating labor conditions throughout the world, devoting attention particu- Iarly to the effect of the war upon organized labor movements.
 "The most remarkable development nj industrial relations in Germany, says a recent conference bulletin, "has been the rapid growth of collective agreements which has taken place since the end of the war"
 These agreements, the bulletin says, have been regarded faVorably by German unions since the latter part of the nineteenth century, but were confined to small industries, "becausc the labor organizations could not make themselves felt in the larger industries"
 The revolution, the investigators say, established the labor unions on a basis under which their recognition by the employers became an accepted fact. In 1914 the largest number of employees covered by contracts was I,3o6,723, while in 1919 it was 5,o86,- 475.
 The tendency in Germany, it is said, is to cover large groups of workers with a single agreement, More than o6 per cent. of the agree ments now in force were made with out resort to strikes.
 The metal, mining, and building groups lead with agreements, g per cent. of al workers having agreements being members of organizations in these trades.

READ FEM AND WEEP!

If this be MT. Lasker's code of politica lethics he should have the courage of his convictions and carry his program to it's logical conclusion. He should insist that all the liquor seized by prohibition agents should no longer be destroyed but turned over to the United States Shipping Board. He could thus get his liquor supply free and institute a line of bar prices that would eventually drive his competitors from the seven seas. But he needn't stoy at that. He could establish system of rebates, where by passengers fare would be scaled at an inverse ratio to his drinking bill, and thereby giving practical ad- vantage of a cut rate to thirsty pat rons. Why, the possibilities of such code of political ethics are simply incalculable. President Harding's discovery of MT. Lasker-means an easy solution of all our financial diff culties. Why concern ourselves about lavish expenditures, ship subsidies, soldiers bonuses, etc. Let Lasker have free booze and he'll settle every thing.-Senator E. F. Ladd, North Dakota.

Eggs flew freely in the Senate or, Monday. The Walshes disturbed the hen fruit plot that was matching. Re lief was apparent that the only rot ten thing in the discussion was the rate which Senators were trying to
 fix on the imported breakfast diet
 The specially Illuminating thing about the tariff discussion on Monday "a discussion that gets more farcical as 1t proceeds-was the threat that workmen's dinner pails will be cake less hereafter because of the tariff. Bakers from all parts of the country have assured Congress that prices on all cake products will increase tre- mendously if the tariff as it now stands is enacted. Tariff increases affecting cakes such as dried whole egg, 100 per cent; sugar, 100 per cent; gelatine, 300 per cent; lemon and orange oil, 200 per cent; shelled peanuts, 400 per cent; shelled al monds, 275 per cent; shelled walnuts, 200 per cent, will not only prohibit importations but will increase prices of bakery products beyond what the worker can afford.
 A general increase in the cost of living is inevitable as a result of the enactment of the present tariff. If the country can be kept informed of what IS going on there may yet be chance of getting a sane tariff. Luck fly the present discussion is on the first reading of the bill and the pass age of committee amendments. When the final reading time approaches the people may have informed their rep resentatives what kind of tariff they want

 BELGIUM
 Eight-Hour Day Modifed.-On ac- count of the low number of working hours in the winter time, and the loss of time on account of bad wealth CT, the eight-hour day law of 1921 has been modified by royal decree in such a way, it is believed, as will inn prove the conditions in the building construction industry.
 Strikes.-On June I, 1922, the soc ialist unions of masons, plasterers, and helpers of Antwerp went on strike, based upon their demands of April, 1922, for increased wages, full pay for holidays, seven days vacation each year, and a 48-hour week.
