ARBITRATION THAT IS FORCED DOESN'T
 PREVENT STRIKES

Melbourne, Australia, Aug. A.
 The wage reduction award against
 sheep shearers and other pastoral
 workers by Justice Powkers of the
 federal ar rbitration court has resulted
 in a strike of these workers. Trade
 unionists charge the court with sim
 plicity because he fails to see that
 employers swell the unemployed list
 ''in the same way" writes one work CT, 'as the press and parliamentar- ians took advantage of your simple mindedness during the war by using
 the patriotic cry to mold your opin-
 getting justice.'
 CTS one trade unionist says:
 "It appears that if employers de-
 sire to obtain lower wages or an in
 crease in hours, all that is necessary
 for them to do is to dismiss some thousands of workmen, and then tell the court that present wages and con ditions have thrown thousands of arhsans out of employment. oYur court then takes cognizance and the
 result is lower wages.
 eff a shearer refuses to accept the ! award of the court, the employers ap- ply for an injunction against the Australian Workers Union for strik- ing against the decision. If the shear CT refuses, to take the wages decided upon by the court, he breaks the law If the employer closes down his es- tablishment, or dismisses thousands of employees, 1t is no offense against the court. "It is perfect yllegal for the en- ployer to dismiss the workmen, or to refuse to employ others, but if the workman refuses to work at rates which he considers unfair, he is, ac- cording to the rules of your court, a law breaker"

SHIP SUBSIDY PLAN
 IS AGAIN EXPOSED

Washington, Aug. 4-The ship subsidy if passed, would in all prob ability find it's way into the pockets o fthe bankers and brokers and in surance companies-all interested in foreign shipping and the latter chan nel leading directly into foreign lands" declared Senator Fletcher of Florida, in a scathipg attack on the subsidy proposal.
 Most likely he said, ,"this is what would happen: The money to buy the ships and operate them would be furnished by the banks and through brokers who would rake off the di- rect subsidy. Whatever was left, if any, the insurance combine would
 get"
 Hhe Florida 1awmaker shattered the claim of subsidy advocates that ship owners who are forced to pay excessive wages to American seamen. The testimony" said Senator Fletcher, showed the difference in wage cost and subsistence cost, the difference in cost of operation be- tween vessels of the United States and foreign, vessels, was largely a myth, and if there was a negligible quantity, when considered along with the whole enterprise. In other words, the small percentage of the difference would cut no material figure in cal culating the profit and loss of each ship. The testimony of MT Furuseth and MT, Philip Mason (ship owner) and others established that clearly.
 "The truth IS American seamen's wages are lower than Canada and on level with British. The only mari time power where American wages are substantially higher is that of the Japanese. Crews have been reduced by order of the shipping board until in some classes of ships the American advantage Is 20 per cent"

Railroads Favor
 Company "UniOn''

New York, Aug. 4-The majority of eastern railroads favor company unions" according to L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware & Hudson railroad and chairman of the eastern presidents conference This policy, Mr. Loree said, is in line with the plan suggested by the Railroad Labor Board, which stated, on July 3, that the railroads should proceed to or ganize their men" into new unions"
 President Loree is one of the bit terest opponents of collective bar gaining in this country. He was a leading figure in the employers group at the industrial conference called by President Wilson, and which broke on the question of collective bargain ing and the right of workers to select their own representatives
 During the war he was a member of the war labor board for a short period

LABOR BOARD CHIEF OBSACLE TO
 ENDING STRIKE
Transportation Heading Toward Total Collapse With More
 Men Quitting.
By CLINT C. HOUSTON. Tnternational Labor News Service.

oy NA1N V. IlO O O1N
 0nternational Labor News Service
 Chicago, Aug. 5.-As in the begin ming the Railroad Labor Board was chiefly responsible for the shopmen's strike, now in it's fourth week, so is the board a main obstacle in the way of settlement and restoration of transportation.
 Thus far every peace movement has come to a standstill when 1t ran up against the ''outlaw" and 'com- pany union" resolution of the board adopted July 3, and protection to scabs" by all the powers of state and federal government pledged by Chair man Hooper.
 Thus has the Railroad Labor Board, a creature of the Esch-Cum- mins law, proved a breeder of trouble and a cause of continued conflict. Railroad executives who are wag- ing the lght to break down organiza- tions of employees find it convenient barricade from behind which to de ploy their sinister forces. Existence of the board has prevent ed the railroad executives and repre- sentatives of the striking employees coming together in conference for a
  spite repeated efforts in this direc- ton.
 In the meantime transportation Is headed toward a complete collapse. More men are quitting worn and suspensions of freight and passenger trains are reported daily in increas- ing number.
 Dissatisfaction among other classes of railroad employees is growing. There has not been break in the ranks of the strikers anywhere along the battle line.
 Bribes, threats and coercive tactics of the managers have completely failed.
 Reports reaching the Railway Elm ployes' Department, A. F. of l., tell of solidarity and continued additions to the ranks of the strikers. A large number of railroads have made overtures for separate settle ment on the basis of terms presented by President Jewell, of the depart ment, in his letter to Chairman Guy Ter, of the Association of Railway Executives, but these have been re- jected
 This strike will be continued, ' says President Jewell, until we can assure the men now out that each and every one will benefit alike in any agreement reached" Negotiations conducted during the past two weeks by Chairman Hooper of the Labor Board, in his individual capacity" have brought forth no re- suits
 Evidently President Harding has lost hope of the board being able to correct it's many errors. He sum- moned President Jewell and the six international presidents of the shop crafts to Washington for a confer ence.
 One thing, however, is certain, the men in charge of the strike will not back down in their demands for re- storation of the wage scale in effect up to July I, abolition of the vicious contract system ,re-establ1shment ot overtime rules, and the creation of a bipartisan national board of adjust ment for passing on all grievances other than wages.
 It is believed the President has de- cided to admit complete failure of the board and to take the railroad strike situation in his own hands.

hoped the teamSterS, angered by the presence of the strikebreakers, would start riot. Then the sheriff would send the telegram to the governor requesting him to send the militia This telegram was to be sent If pos sible during the time the members of the Employers Association and their sympathizers were in Spring field in conference with the governor.
 The teamsters, however, awoke to the plot. The union officials left the county building taking all of their people with them and then notified the various headquarters what was going on Mr. Shadley had kept the governor informed by long dis tance telephone of all that was be- ing done in Chicago to force him to send the militia. Deneen then re- fused the request after saying some very harsh things to the conspirators with whom he was in conference.
 During the same strike the team sters had headquarters at West Madi- son street and the bridge. There was always from one to two hundred teamsters gathered there in and out side of the. building. I had been in- formed that if I wanted a good story l SnOulQ DG al M dO1SOn street ana the river in the afternoon Just as I arrived there several wagon loads of strikebreakers came across the Madison street bridge from the west The horses were walked leisurely by the headquarters. The teamsters who were standing on the sidewalk imme- diately grasped the situation and no trouble occurred> Another plot had failed.
 There always has been an under standing among unfair employers ir Chicago that if the militia can be se- cured no strike vii succeed. Gen orally riots follow the arrival of the militia. Reading the official verdict of the coroner's jury in the Herrin case would lead one to believe that there are many other startling things in connection with the hiring of the gunmen and strikebreakers in Chi cago than those that came out in the testimony. The result, however proved boomerang to those who hoped for a different end and 1t may be that that horror will cause unfair employers in the future to think twice before creating machinery to cause a riot

most of the wealth in their own hands
 Congress dislikes to pass the tariff bill now. It will probably warn it's big business friends not to raise the cost of living until after election.
 But the whole campaign of the gentlemen in power is to in crease living costs and reduce wages.

HOW BIG ROADS FLOUT SAFETY TO
 ENLARGE PROFITS
Inspection Figures Show Meaning of Low-Wage Policy in Endangering Lives of Travelling Public.

By International Labor News Service Washington, Aug 1.-The Erie l Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads are controlled by Wall street influences whose desire is to cut wages and increase dividends re- gardless of all other considerations.
 The cheap labor policy for which these roads are holding out would mean decreased safety for the travel ing public, and none of thesesroads can afford to relax efficiency of re- pair work The Interstate Commerce Commission reported that during 1921 more than half of the locomotives on these roads were found defective. The detailed statistics are:
 Erie-1,o32 inspected; 57o defec- tive; 56 per cent defective.
 Pennsylvania-4,74 inspected; D. 74o defective; 58' per cent defective.
 New York Central, East-8o3 in spected; 478 defective; 54 per cent de- fective.
 New York Central, West-464 in spected; 287 defective; 62 per cent de- fective
 All locomotives reported as defec- tive constitute violations by the rail roads of the safety regulations pro- vided by law. These regulations have been fought by the railroads and de manded by the workmen.
 Such enforcement as Is now ob- tained is the result of government in spection The fifty locomotive in spectors now on the job are not suf fcient to cover the field.
 More inspectors would reduce the accidents from which the public now suffers. But the railroads oppose more inspectors The public-be damned spirit still remains
 Compliance of railroads with the law would eliminate defective loco motives entirely. The number of de fective locomotives operating at any one time on these three roads alone is therefore more than 4,ooo.

Unity Our Sole Defense

St Louis, Mo-, Aug. 4.-"With la bor unorganized and relying solely upon the justice of employers and the so-called public, no individual or no body would care about labor" says the Railroad Telegrapher.
 "Only as labor talks up for itself, organizes in solid phalanx for protec- tion against imposition and wrong, Is the public concerned about labor. Only as labor wages tis own battle do statesmen and politicians notice it. It is idle to rely upon any force, either sympathetic or sentimental, to help labor, when it is not trying to help itself.
 "As we maintain our protective agency, the union, can we look for even small quantity of justice being granted us"
