DAUCHERTY FAVORS ANTI-UNION SHOP.
 TELLS BUSINESS
Attorney General Tells Interests They Can Depend on Him
 tO Aid Tt

Chicago, Sept. I5.-Not satisfied with demanding an injunction that denies constitutional rights to strik- ing shop men, Attorney General Daugherty notified big business that it could depend on him to fight for the anti-union shop. While no one ever doubted the position of the at torney general he made 1t a matter of record by the following declaration:
 But 1t may be understood that SO olng and to the extent that I can speak for the government of the United States, I will use the powers States within my control to prevent the labor unions of the country from destroying the open shop"
 The attorney generals public avow- al for the cause of anti-unionism will be welcomed by the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers, the United States chamber of commerce and allied organizations. These bodies now know that MT. Daugherty's sec ret service system, headed by the great detective," Burns, is at their disposal to aid them in their fight against organized labor
 MT. Daugherty's assumption that he speaks for the government of the United States" recalls the reply made by Congressman Huddleston to the President when the latter stated in his recent message to congress that T am resolved to use all the power of the government to maintain trans portation and sustain the right of men to work
 "The President IS not the govern ment," said Congressman Huddles- ton. Tn using government as mean ing the administrat he forgets America in his old-world phraseo1- ogy.. There is no government in or of the United States except that composed of three co-ordinated branches. of which the President rep resentS, only one-the executive"
 Congressman Huddleston also made this statement, which can be read with profit by every anti-union- ist, be he federal official or private citizen:
 Let me further remind him that neither the President nor federal gov ernment has any constitutional war rant to protect strikebreakers. The American system of sovereign states yet remains"

BaerfaCtS By ]. M. BAER, The Congressn1an-Carto International Labor News Service WAGE BULL" ETINS!

The National Industrial Con- ference Board is an organiza- ton of employers, It publishes a bulletin which presents things that employers value.
 Latest bulletin says that on January I, 1922, Average hourly wages in 20 industries were o8 per cent above July, 1914, wages, while average weekly earnings were So per cent high CT.
 But don't let this frighten anyone; don't let it make any one feel rich.
 The same bulletin figures it out that in terms of purchasing power wages on January I, 1922, were only II per cent higher than in July, 1914.
 There's a dicerence between the face value of money and the real value of money in its pur-

chasing power.
 Now do some figuring out on our own hook The difference between the II per cent added purchasing power and the oS per cent face value, which is 87, was the percentage that went into the pockets of prohteers, spectators, middlemen and the whole crew of pirates that were behind the game of imitation and defation robbery.
 Of course these figures were made by men hired by employ CTS We can't gamble On their accuracy. but taking them at their face value, they show that somebody got away with mur- der.
 The way to prevent more murder of that kind is to resist wage reductions-to stick by your guns and hold every inch of ground that you've got.

Brand of "Scab" More Feared Approval Contempt for Traitors
 Compelling in Industrial Strife War of Nations

The Connecticut labor news., 1922-09-15
By w. E. McEWEN, Editor of The Labor World of
 Duluth, Minn.

Let the "old timer" tell you his story in his own words.
 "I'd give the world if I owned 1t ii I hadn't weakened that time in my early life during the strike of 'o4 when I deserted my shopmates weakened their side and went back to work under cover.
 "I know what it is to be called a 'scab.' One never can become hard ened to it. It follows him wherever he may travel, to the furthermost parts of the earth: I have worked with professional strikebreakers, the hardest and most calloused of mor- tals No word offends them like that of 'scab.' Indeed the strikebreaker has brought himself to believe that he Is gentleman along side Of the man who belonged to the union, vio- lated his oath of membership, be- trayed his associates and returned to work during a strike.
 "The 'scab' seldom feels his loneli- ness until the strike is over, when the company has no further concern about his welfare and when they have defeated the union. The strikebreak- CT seldom remains long on any job. He is gradually frozen out by more competent men.
 The Remorse That Comes.
 Some of the strikers usually get back on the job and they bring with them all the bitter memories of the battle. That's when the men who be- trayed them begin to feel it. It is not so much what IS said to them as the looks they get, the coolness that is displayed and the ostracism from which they suffer. Even the boss, so good and friendly during his trouble, becomes indifferent and unconcerned. On top of it all is the consciousness one feels that he has not been on the square with his fellows.
 "I can imagine the anguish of a murderer after his crime, for l know the remorse of traitor to labor. In my case the suffering extended to my family. My children seemed different and eventually held aloof from me. My youngest, one day, climbed up on my knee and asked me in childish seriousness: Daddy, what's a "scab?"' That question pierced my swer him. I couldn't even look him by asking him why he asked me such a question.
 The Kids At School.
 "'The kids at school won't play with me- he said with a pathetic tone in his voice. They say to me, go on, get away from us, your father is 'scab."' I tell you that struck home and made me regret I listened to the honey words of the company agent who got me to weaken and crawl back to my job like worm.
 "The next blow I felt was when 1 came hone one evening and found my wife in tears. She had been 'black-balled by a fraternal order to which she had made application for membership. A kind neighbor had told her that they had nothing against her, but there were members present who objected to having the wife of scab' in the order. She was a good wife and good mother, and in addi ton to taking care of her household duties she found ample time to de- vote to church and social matters.
