INDUSTRIAL UNIONISM
In GERMANY

Leipsig, Germany. = Industrial un-
ionism will soon take the place of
craft unionism in the German Fedora
ton of Free Trade Unions of Germany,
an organization of almost 100000
members. The affirmation of the prin-
ciple of industrial unionism is the out
standing feature of the triennial con-
'gress of German workers. delegates in
Leipsig.
The meeting Washed at time when
there is a general offensive among en-
ployers against the eight-hour day;
when militaristic demonstrations of ev-
cry description are showing how bold
the monarchists have already become.
And when the cost Of living has risen
ito new heights owing to a tumble Of
the German mark. 1t was the first
congress not presided over by that late
towering figure, Carl Legion. Most
dramatic Of all, during its closing hours
there came the tragic news of the muir
der of Walter Rathenau.
On the question of industrial union
ism the congress ordered the executive
to draft within the shortest time prac-
ticable plan for the organic develop
ment of industrial unions. The reso-
luton making this provision declared
that modern industrial conditions have
made absolutely necessary fundamen-
tai revision of trades unionism, and it
specifies that the component trades in
large interreIated industries, such as
mining. the metal industry. building,
the graphic arts (printing, etc.,, trans
'portation. textiles, public works. farm
ing, forestry, the leather industry, and
the production of the necessaries of life.
should be linked together in industrial
units.

Chicago. - With the "a percent pro-

the third sector of the U. S. Steel cor

board of the three component craft
unions TO call out the men in protest

POOLING THE PEOPLE

London. British military experts
are enjoying double chuckle at the
expense of the pacifists. When the
Washington arms conference decreed
reduction in battleships, the naval
sharps laughed because that decision
saved them the trouble Of educating
the British public to agree to the scrap
ping of these costly but obsolete wea-
pons.
The real joke consisting in Fgassing .
the pacifist on appropriations for edu-
cation. The army estimates contain
ed 10000 pounds ($743,60O) for
cost Of educational, ETC., establish
ments." The chuckIe arises from the
etc." for of the total sum $4,000
pounds was allotted to the chemical
warfare committee and 10000 pounds
to the chemical warfare experimental
station at Portion.
Two years ago the government spent
only $3.50 pounds on poison gas.

Federation of Labor, demand of the
government that export duties and pro-

the normal trade relations that prevail

cent special convention, called because
of the onward sweep of unemployment
and the rising cost of living.
They further demand the fixing of
maximum prices by the government,
a revision of taxation and the taking
over of grain as a government monop-
oily. The trade unions demand that
the government proceed with public
works and that the government turn
over to the trade unions the admins

HOOvER'S MENTAL SLANT

Washington. - How the department
of commerce under the leadership of
Herbert Hoover, promotes industrial
reaction is illustrated by press bulle-
tin on rubber production in Indo-China,
issued by the department. and based
upon a report from Consul Leland L.
Smith, stationed at Saigon.
Discussing the advantages of lndo-
China over Java in this industry. the
department says: THE labor situation
is greatly superior to that found in any
other rubber growing district, due to
the cooperation of the local govern
ment with the producers. Labor is not
allowed 10 organize. Java must import
labor from Sumatra at a cost of about
800 florins, while labor is brought
from other Indo-China provinces at a
cost Of $35 Saigon for three years.
The breaking of contract by native
is cause for penal punishment by the
''The producer has the
additional advantage over his Java
in the matter of labor con-
ditions and wages, both being less fa-
corable for the workmen than those OBJ

Arise and burst the tyrants' chain,
Oh. railway men on every line.
Let no craft send call in vain;
All railmen now your ear incline.
Come meet our brothers on the plain,
We fight for right" It's this refrain
That battles minions back again,

EFFECTIVENESS OF STRIKE

Chicago. = Priority orders due to
breakdown of rail transportation were
issued by the interstate commerce com
mission at the very moment that rail
executives were filling the newspapers
with statements denying that the strike
of 100000 shopmen and their allies
was seriously interfering with opera
tions.
The orders of the commission restore
war conditions under which all freight
must be forwarded by shortest routes,
regardless of ownership of the cars.
This applies to all railroads and became
effective in July 26.
A second order. effective the same
day, applies to all roads east of the
Mississippi. Shipments of food. fuel.
livestock, perishable goods, coal, coke
and fuel oil will have preference over
all other traffic. The coal famine is
recognized as acute in connection with
a famine of coal cars by an order as
signing cars for fuel according to five
classes of necessity. The first is spe-
cial emergencies; the second. fuel for
transportation, public utilities and insti-
tutions and hospitals; the third, coal
for the northwest so that region may
be supplied before lake transportation
is tied up by the winter; fourth, house
hold coal; fifth, all other shipments.
While these extraordinary measures
were being studied the western lines
with headquarters in Chicago announc-
ed Transportation conditions normal
everywhere The Burlington boast
ed that all traffic is being moved
promptly" The Pennsylvania report
ed 'the most favorable situation at
any time since the strike.

GERMAN WORKER GUILDS
BUILD WORKERS HOMES
(By The Federated Press)

New York. = The German building
guilds. in the last three years, have put
up thousands of dwellings and helped
materially to cut down the shortage of
| 100000 dwellings estimated to have
existed in Germany at the close of the
war, says an article in the official re-
view published by the Amsterdam bu--
reau of the International Federation of
Labor. The article. written by Margar-
ct PGrrmann, an officer of the German
Social Building guild, tells how, in ~
III, the guilds did business of more
than 350,000,000 marks on capital
of about 25,000,OO0 marks, besides
giving steady employment to 10000
mechanics and clerks.
The guilds. she shows. forced private
contractors to reduce their bids on both
private and public buildings. Attic
the contracts obtained by the guilds
last year were at fair prices, they ne
vertheless. were about 100000
marks under the bids submitted by their
private competitors. The previous year
the difference between the bids submit
ted by the contractors and the guilds
was much greater. as the contractors
had not then regarded the guilds as SER
ious competitors. and kept their prices
at the profiteering level prescribed by
the building ring.
