WAGE CUTTING
Proves Great Fallacy In
Solving Unemployment

Cincinnati-"I Great Britain we
have had our army of unemployed in
the neighborhood of about two mil
lions, with their families making
about one-eighth of the total popula-
tion of the country for the last two
years" said H. Smith, fraternal dele
gate of the British Trades Union
Congress to the American Federation
of Labor convention.
''The British government is respon-
sible for starting a movement for alb
sorbing the unemployed by cutting
down wages of the employed, stupidity
believing that the more wages were
reduced amongst those who are en-
ployed the more quickly the wheels
of industry would turn and the more
workmen would be brought into pro-
duction
This is the greatest fallacy that
the British government has been re-
sponsible for since the war, but
has persisted in it and has been clev-
erly encouraged and assisted by the
big Federation of Employers of La
Dor.
"In 1921 the workmen of Great
Britain lost in wages five hundred
million pounds, at the rate of mil
lion pounds reduction per week.
"The government said this was
good; it would bring down the cost of
living; it would cheaper the necessar-
les of life.
But when the purchasing power
of those who are engaged in work is
reduced by so or go per cent it Gre
ates unemployment, because these
men and their families cannot go into
the market and buy goods. The less
wages they earn the less they buy
and the unemployed army is swelled
day by day in consequence"

DOESN'T HAMILTON KNOW?

The following editorial addressed
to Mayor Carrel,of Cincinnati, by the
Cincinnati Labor Advocate, should
awake memories of Hamiltonians of
experiences of just a few years back
The article says:
The National Metal Trades Associa-
ton, composed of supposed gentle
men,, church members and honorable
citizens, through their employment
agency, has imported 81 thugs from
Chicago to break the shoe workers
strike. These men, we understand,
have been sworn in at the city hall,
as private police and allowed to bear
arms.
Do you not think, Mr. Mayor, that
Chicago should keep at home both
its radical labor agitators and its
murderous strike breakers, particu-
larly when they have prison records
Do you think, Mr. Mayor that it is
necessary to import thugs into this
community in order to make the shoe
workers accept reduction in wages
Does not the importation of guards
to preserve the peace in this city cast
reflection, not only upon the police
department, but every city official,
including yourself?
Do you think it is fair to the citi-
zens of this city for any agency to
be permitted to import thugs whose
main object is to disturb the peace
Of this community?

"TRUST-BUSTINC"
BY Supreme Court Don't
Bust

Washington. decree of the
United States supreme court ordering
the dissolution of the transportation
trust known as the Southern Pacific
and Central Pacific merger is not ex-
peoted to bring about competition
between those two companies. This
is apparent by the result of the su-
preme courts decree some years ago
dissolving the Standard Oil Company
as combination in restraint of trade
Senator Harris, of Georgia, tells how
the dissolution" has worked:
"Under the dissolution decree the
Standard Oil Company did not change
their stockholders; they dissolved the
one big company and formed several,
about 20, and divided the territory.
The same stockholders own the same
interest in practically ali of the com
panies, and of course these companies
are run just as one company. About
70 per cent of all the stock in all
the different Standard Oil companies
is owned by the same people; about
SO per cent of all the stock is owned
by 16 persons. They are today, as
investigation by the Federal trade
commission shows, operated as one
company, and there is no competi-
ton. AS long as the same stockhold-
ers control majority of the stock in
all the companies of course there
never will be any competition"

CLOSED RANKS NECES,
SARY

Lafayette, Ind From now on we
can expect nothing from wage boards
and other bodies established during
the war to comb out tangles, promote
industrial peace and increase produc-
tlon," says the Painter and Decorator.
Members employed in private ship
yards, in navy pards, at arsenals or
government posts, or in the railroad
shops, will have to fight every inch
of the road-not only to advance,
but to hold their ground. The only
effective argument will be solidarity,
loyalty to the principle of trade
unionism and the strength and eff
cheney of our unions and our build
ing trades councils" !"

FAKE LETTERS EX-
POSED

Tamaqua, Pa. - Striking miners
have exposed the Tamaqua Courier be-
cause it published letters alleged to
be signed by miners who protested
against the miners strike and who
complained against officers of the
Miners Union. In a letter to the
editor, the trade unionists declare they
have investigated and found the docu-
ments to be false.
eve believe" the miners say, "that
these letters are inspired by interests
unfrendly to the mine workers and by
your paper publishing the same with
out investigation you are not only
following out your attitude of unfair
ness, as you have done in previous
strikes and suspensions.

LONGER WORKDAY
Looms For Federal EN-
plOyes, Says Organiza-
ton Head

Washington Federal employees
are again facing the sinister possi-
bility of having their working hours
heightened without any correspond
ing consideration given to compensa-
tion," declares Luther c.. Steward,
president of the National Federation
of Federal Employees.
Government employees classified as
mechanics work hours per day; other
government employees have the z.
hour day. President Harding recent
ly issued an executive order for the
clerical employees to begin work ar
hour earlier on the mornings
o'clock-and quit an hour earlier in
the afternoon during the summer
President Steward fears that in the
fall the administration will retain the
8 a. m. starting time and restore the
4:30 p. m. quitting time, thus auto
matically lengthening the work day
one hour.
Certain reactionaries in congress
have hitherto voted for the 8-houl
day for the clerks The result o.
the first effort was the organization
of the Federal Employees Union.
Up to the present organized labor
has defeated all legislative attempts
to lengthen the workday of govern
ment employees. 1t is expected that
labor will be equally successful il
meeting the issue if it comes along
the presidential executive orders

WAR ON CROSSING
WRECKS

Washington.-Th railroads have
started a four months campaign of
education against the reckless cross
ing of railroad tracks at grade cross
ings. Because of the increasing use
of automobiles these accidents are in
creasing at an alarming rate. Last
year the interstate commerce COM
mission reported 1,072 fatal accidents
and 4,818 persons injured.
During the campaign efforts will
be made to impress drivers of auto
mobiles, especially, with the neces-
sity for caution when going over rail-
road tracks. The slogan of the cam
paign is: "Cross crossings cautious
ly."

BELOW THE DEAD LINE


The wages of the maintenance of
way employees were below the level of
subsistence before they were reduced
by the United States railroad labor
board. They ranged from 2Sc to 4Oc
an hour. According to the ruling
they will range from 23c to 35c an
hour after July 1st. None of these
amounts are more than half enough
to provide a decent living for an or
dinary-sized family. Take the high
est one named-forty cents an hour
which will cease on the 1st of July.
Working ten hours a day at 4Oc an
hour. man can take in S4.00 day.
If he works three hundred days a
wear. he viii get 81 200 If he works
part or all the Sundays besides, he
will get a little more. If he is laid
off part of the time, he will get less.
In any event, he will get only about
half as much as it takes to provide
family of average size with a de-
cent living. Section hands on the
railroads are to receive as little as
S11 week under the new ruling. By
any stretch of the imagination, OF
mathematics, of facts, of frugality
can any man with family live or
Sl1 week? And this is the thing
the prostitute press is growing over as
tending to speed up the momentum
of industry and return of the coun-
try to prosperity! And then there
are also other railway workers whose
WAGES the labor board ruled shoulc
be cut. What kind of system have
we, when men who are already only
getting half enough to live on mus
| have their tiny wages still further
reduced

MORE MOLDERS EN-
PLOYED

Cincinnati.-TheI international Mold
ers' Union announces this barometer
of better trade conditions:
During the first quarter of 1921,
206,925 out-of-work stamps were is
sued. During the first quarter of this
year 172,075 were given to the mem
bers. There were, therefore, 34,850
less out-of work stamps used during
the first quarter of this year than last
year"

GOOD OF THE MOVIES"

When the moving picture industry
was in its infancy, and the movies
were housed on vacant lots, people
attacked them as being wild scheme
with no value, and wondered how long
they would last. So it was with the
printing press when it was new. Some
of the largest manufacturers rely on
motion pictures for educational pur-
poses, schools use them, missionaries
use them in their work in uncivilized
countries. Today motion pictures are
the greatest educators, and are still
expanding in their usefulness.

PROTEST OIL LEASES

Washington.-In Independent oil pro
ducers of the country are attacking
the administrations policy of leasing
naval reserve oil lands. The indie
pendents say that the turning over
of government lands to large pipe
line interests will have the direct
result of depressing the price of crude
oil without in any way relieving the
people of the burdensome high prices
of refined products which include
gasoline.
Reference is made to the recent
report by the United States geologi-
cal survey that a record amount of
gasoline is now stored throughout the
country.
