the price of gasoline have been made
because "the market could stand it"
was the explanation for gouging the
public that John d. Clark, vice presi-
dent of the Midwest Refining Com
pany, gave to the senate committee
on manufactures. This committee is
investigating the gasoline price sit
uation, and has decided to summon
officials of the larger oil companies
who can talk about the inside of
the oil industry"
Senator McNary, of the committee,
declared it was common report that
some producers holding near-m -monopo-
lies in small fields have resorted to
choking wells that the production
could be held down and the market
"buoyed."

smashed the "fair price" agreement
they. made with Secretary of Com
merce Hoover, several days ago, and
congress will be called upon to check
the profiteers.
When the agreement was made, no
coal was being marketed, but when
the coal strike neared an end, and
the demand for coal increased the
hungry profiteers could not restrain
themselves and agreements went
skyward
This condition has been created de-
spite the fact that the Hoover agree
ment called for substantial price in
creases for the coal owner, although
he has not been called upon to pay
wage increases.

TEN WAYS'TO
KILL A UNION
Don't go to the meetings.
If YOU do 90. 90 late.

Don't go to the meetings.
If you do go, go late.
If the weather doesn't suit you,
don't think of going!
If you do attend a meeting, find
fault with the work of the officers
and members.
Never accept office!-as it is easier
to criticize than to do things.
Get sore it you are not appointed
on committee, but if you are, do not
attend committee meetings.
If asked by the chairman to give
your opinion on some matter, tell him
you have nothing to say. After the
meeting tell every one how things
should be done.
Do nothing more than absolutely
necessary, but when members use
their ability to help matters along,
howl that the institution is run by a
clique
Hold back your dues, or don't pay
at all.
Don't bother about getting new
members. 'Let George do it."

POLICE ARE SCORED

Philadelphia. - Condemnation of
the local police was recorded by the
Central Labor Union in a sizzling set
of resolutions which declare that the
police force "in some cases taking
into their own hands the law they are
sworn to uphold, have beaten and
manhandled the workers numerically
even taking wives of striking railroad
shop men-after placing them under
arrest for distributing circulars deal
ing with reasons for the strike-to
unknown chambers in the city hall
in the company of none but burly
policemen and forcing them to remove
their footwear and have their feet
measured and finger prints taken,
and endeavoring to compel them to
be photographed, the same as COM

trate had even heard their cases"

SENIORITY DEFENDED

Washington-"W strikes are
won or compromised, the first point is
that the men are given their jobs
back again." says the department of
social action, national Catholic well
fare council, in its latest news sheet.
"In the coal strike the miners will
be taken back and given their old
jobs. Even when strikes are lost,
it is usual for the strikers to be re-
turned to their old positions. In a
strike the men do not SO much give
up employment as insist upon better
conditions. The restoration of senior
ity rights to the shop men merely
means the restoration of their old
jobs, and is the usual end of strikes" +"
There is no better way to safeguard
the health of yourself and family than
for you and them to be consistent ad-

Join Ship Owners i'm Fight
ing Labor Law

Washington-Th 'wobblies" tel
seamen that the seamen's act is "nc
good for the seamen," but the ship
owners are in Washington "a hours
a day trying to get the seamen's law
repealed or emasculated, says Legis-
lative Representative O'Brien, of the
Seamen's International Union OF
America in his last report to the
membership.
President Furuseth, who is now ir
Europe, writes to the seamen's head
quarters in this city that "the differ
ence between the situation in England
and the Scandinavian countries and
the United States is simply stupen-
dous."
In referring to this letter, Repre-
sentative O'Brien says:
I'm England, with the exception of
a few ports, they have the union
shop, and as a consequence the con-
ditions and wages are much better
than they are in the aforementioned
countries. This condition prevails in
the ports where the 'wobblies' have
not been able to get a foothold
"Of course, the 'wobblies' are not
interested in such commonplace
things as wages and hours. No, sir;
they are going to give each seaman q
ship of his own, SO he can take il
home and play with it after the rev
oluton'"
