 Doesn't Mean Anything
 Referring to danger, alleged, be- cause Hunter could serve for 30 days, or any other incompetent" while the referendum was being acted upon, Comley pointed out that the same could exist in the event of the recall case the people wanted to exercise the perogative of the initiative, and that to admit the provision of the charter in the one instance was to admit it in the other. "At pleasure, doesn't mean anything, the phrase is only a matter of form In my ex- perience in municipal affairs I have found that every act of any legislative body is done ''at pleasure" whether it be an ordinance, a measure, a resoIu- ton or what not. If it isn't 'at the pleasure" of the council, the council doesn't do it. There is a provision in the charter that calls it criminal for any councilman to unduly at tempt to influence the manager but unhappily there is no penalty pro- vided."
 Judge Nicholson again took the sweeping statement. "The whole question is whether after the council appoints manager, the council con- trols the manager, or the manager controls the council" That finished the arguments. That is what every body in Stratford has been trying to find out for To these many months Judge Wolfe will file the answer in a few days.

STANLEY OCC
Again Heads Molders' Union
68-Other Officers
Elected

Old 68 of the Iron Molders' Union
held one of its old time meetings
Monday night. The hall was packed.
Many matters of importance came
before the meeting and the reports of
the various shop committees showed
that things are Frightening up some.
Much enthusiasm prevailed. Despite
the Industrial depression of the past
year and half the membership of
the organization holds up well. The
big feature of Mondays meeting was
the semi-annual election of officers,
which resulted as follows:
President, Stanley Ogg; vice presi-
dent, Andrew Jackson; recording sec
retary, Walter Price; corresponding
secretary, Tim Farley; financial sec
retary, Charles Stephan; treasurer,
Mat Amiot; trustee, Lee Sanders; in
ductor, William Brown; doorkeeper,
William Roger; delegate to Trades
Council, Walter Price.
Together with Stanley Ogg most of
the foregoing officers have been elect
ed for about the 'steenth time, show
ing that they have ever been on the
job and that the members of Old 68
appreciate faithful service.

the political game and it wouldn't be
real election if it didn't happen.
There is no doubt but that the coming
primaries are going to be on the old
fashioned order. The candidates are
out for b-l-o-o-d.
Even the republicans are stirring
things up in their camp. They have
a full ticket in the field but no oppo-
sition for any of the offices excepting
those for central committeeman. And
here is where there is going to be a
real scrap. People who don't know

last Saturday afternoon, and after
going over the entire situation care
fully came to the conclusion that the
striking plumbers were not asking
anything unreasonable and awarded
them the former scale, which the men
were demanding, of one dollar per
hour. Several minor concessions
were made the employers, and both
sides having agreed to accept any
award agreed upon by the committee,
the strike was declared off.
However, several of the master
plumbers have not as yet signed
agreements for the year, and of course
until they do so they are not fair to
union labor. The following firms
have signed up and are to be consid-
cred fair to organized labor in all
things: Jack Dedrick, G. F. Schwab,
John l.. Walker Contracting Co.,
Sewers & Ballett, Harry Thompson
and Albert Schuler & Son.

put the members of about 600 of these
local unions back at work
Less than 5000 of the $4,000 mem
bers originally receiving strike bene-
fits remain on the strike payroll.
The number is being reduced rapidly.
With 10 per cent assessment on all
members at work, the International
Typographical Union faced the fight
with a fund of $S,oO0000 to its credit.
1t had an agreement with the en-
ployers, and it meant to see that that
agreement was kept.
The result is that practically the
whole printing industry now operates
on the basis of 44-hour week and
the remnants of opposition are
crumbling rapidly.

COMPANY UNION VS..
REAL TRADE UNIONS

About three years ago the West
ern Union Telegraph Company organ
lied what it was pleased to call "The
Association of Western Union En-
ployes."
The Western Union organized this
company union only for the purpose
of antagonizing and defeating the
Commercial Telegraphers Union Of
America, a bona fde trade union.
Western Union operators are now
reaping the fruits of Western Union
tactics Wages have been cut to the
1914 level. Morse operators, formerly
getting $157 now get $110. Printer
operators are getting as low as $12
and $13 week.
While real trade unions everywhere
were resisting wage reductions the
Association of Western Union En-
ployes a year ago accepted their re-
duction, doubtless as an act of kind
ness to the company which owned it.
Last year the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, which organized and
owns the Association of Western
Union Emplyes, made a profit of $10,-
196,029, and has left after payment
of dividends and of all charges" a
surplus of $2,378,482.
That is how a company union oper-
ates. Commercial telegraphers are
beginning to understand this and are
getting into the Commercial Tele-
graphers' Union of America, where
they belong.
The International Typographical
Union had an agreement with employ
ing printers that 44-hour week
should go into effect April l, 1922.
The employing printers violated their
agreement. The Typographical Union
suspended work in every print shop
that refused to abide by the 44-hour
agreement. Approximately 800 local

POLITICS WARMING UP

When the bell in the court house
tower tolled the hour of midnight on
last Friday night and the board of
elections declared the time for the
filing of declaration of candidacy was
up there certainly was a wonderful
string of entries in the great political
derbies to be run on August 8th. And
from the quick appearance of candi-
date cards and hustling candidates
on the very next day after the time
for filing declarations closed the
trainers Of the entrants must have
been busy for some months past as
there's no denying the fact that some
of them got off to flying start. In
fact from the way some of them are
going they must have slipped under

WHY WAGES ARE LOW

Inefficiency and exploitation are
causes Prof. Felix Frankfurter, of
Harvard University, assigns for low
wages.
wages are low not because busi-
ness cannot afford to pay more, but
because business is inefficient" he
said. "The tremendous waste in ad-
ministration and organization is re-
vealed by Mr.. Hoover, whose business
opinion, | am convinced, you will re-
spect. Then, too, wages are low be-
cause they are kept low through ex-
ploitation."

The fact that some workers are un-
employed is no reason why the wages
of those that are employed should be
