TIMBERWORKERS
BULLETIN

Increased production and increased
sales have marked the progress of
the lumber industry since the issu-
ance of our last bulletin. For the
week ending January 28th, one hun
dred and thirty-one mills reporting
to the West Coast Lumbermen's
Association show that their product
ton and sales were only II per cent
below normal. This report may be
taken as fairly indicative of the gen
eral situation in the Northwest.
Equally glowing reports, from the
standpoint of the employers, come
from other parts of the country.
With heavy placements of railroad
and car material continuing and the
retail buying becoming more active
during the last few days, the mar
ket has held firm during the latter
half of January. The mills gener-
ally declare that orders are coming
in more freely as the time approach
es when the yards must buy stocks
they will need when the spring
building begins.
Wages are still down, some mills
have made further reductions since
the first of the year, which quite
thoroughly explodes the employers
contention that wages are based on
prices and profits. The -Four Is
and other boss-controlled mutual adj
miration societies voice the same
arguments as those advanced by the
employers, their stand on this mat
ter is quite we'll known to every
worker in this industry who has
taken the slightest trouble to in
form himself.
Following are some of the recent
reports received on hours and wages:
Laurel, Miss: Common labor
$3.50 per day. Hours as the en-
plovers may fancy, but never less
than ten per day.
Bemidii. Mimi: Crookston Lum-
Der Co., 1925 to $2.75 per day. Box
factory, $500 p erday, hours ten per
day.
Rhinelander, Wis: Mills, $2.25
to $3.50 per day. Rhinelander We
neer Co. reduced wages 40 cents per
day early in the month. The Stew
ems company pays rs cents per day
higher than the others but workers
one-quarter extra four days per
week.
Merrill, Wis: Common labor
$3.50, others up to $3.50 per day.
Tripoli, Wis: 1925 to $3.50 per
day in mills. Camps $500 to $2S
per month.
Oconto. Wis: Camps $26 to $35
per month.
Laona, Wis. From $500 per
month to $1.25 per day. This COM
pany maintains "union" of the
Four L stripe.

bermen's Association in Wisconsin

Realization that workers must
have an intelligent interest and eff
fective participation in politics, if
they are ever to make any progress
with their multitudnious problems,
the chief executives of the associated
railroad labor organizations have
called a conference of the leaders of
the progressive forces of America to
be held in Chicago, beginning Febru-
airy goth.
This step has been declared by
many leaders of thought to be the
most momentous and significant TAX
en- in the last decades.
1t is notice to the predatory pow
ers that labor is going to meet them
at the polls and contend with them
for the future control of government.
William H. Johnston, president of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, in issuing the conference
call, said:
eve are not seeking to bring about
a coalition Of forces friendly to la
Dor, but rather an understanding be-
tween all people who are genuinely
interested in the public welfare.
eve feel that the reactionary fore
es and special interests which are
now in control of every branch of
government are pursuing a policy
which has already wrecked American
industry and agriculture, causing
widespread bankruptcy and nation
wide unemployment, and which, if
not arrested, is destined to destroy
the fundamental principles of lib
erty upon which the government was
established. We are inviting to this
conference representative men and
women from all groups in American
life"
The invitation to the conference,
which has been accepted by a large
number Of persons, reads:
eve are inviting you to attend a
conference of Progressives to be held
in Corinthian Hall, Masonic Temple,
Chicago, Ill.,, February 20, 1922.
eve are living in a land blessed
with ineXhaustible resources, with
productive capacity far in advance of
our needs. We are a people of I'M
exampled skill and industry, fully
capable of developing to the utmost
our vast natural resources. In the
midst of this profusion of wealth we
find the farmer unable to profitably

market hisc rops, factories idle, with
millions demanding their products,
and the men and women who long to
labor denied that inherent right.
1--WE have idle wealth tied up in
unused plants, idle men denied the
right to labor unless they will ac-
cept less in order that profits may
be more, and those who work the
land unable to exchange their pro-
ducts for the lost labor of idle men
in other industries.
"All of the inherent rights of men
guaranteed by our Constitution are
being rapidly destroyed by the agents
of privilege. In legislative halls they
pass laws to Cypress. In the courts,
by false construction, they assail
these human liberties which the
fathers sought to safeguard when
they founded the Republic
"These evils are the results Of
special and political Embellishments.
There must be some fundamental
economic principles that can be in
voked to restore the opportunities of
this Nation to the people of the
Nation.
There has been no common UNI
derstanding to bind the workers of
all walks of life together. For lack
of this common understanding we
have been divided and betrayed To
the end that there may be begin
ming of that wisdom which comes
only through understanding the fiji
teen standard railroad labor organic
ations, through the undersigned
their duly authorized committee
invite you to attend a conference to
be held in Chicago, ILL.,, February 20,
1922, at 10 a. M, Corinthian Hall,
Masonic Temple, to which conference
representatives of the progressive
elements in the industrial and polit-
ical life of our Nation have been in
vited to discuss and adopt a funda-
mental economic program designed
to restore to the people the sover-
eighty that is rightly theirs, to make
effective the purpose for which our
government is established, to secure
to all men the enjoyment Of the gains
which their industry produces.
"This is not an ATTEMPT to form
new political party. 1t is an eff
fort to make use of those construc-
tive forces already in existence and
by cooperation bring about political
unity"

REDUCING WAGES
BAD FOR BUSINESS
SAYS Big MAN
Prof. Seligman Tells Credit Men
Merchants are Making Big
Mistake

Professor Edmund R. A. Seligman
professor of economics and finance
at Columbia University, told the
members of the New York Credit
Mems Association at their recent
banquet that those business men
who are going on the theory that
wage reductions are necessary are
making "a big mistake, because a
reduction of wages means a reduc-
ton of the buying power of the
nation"
Additional significance is given
Prof. Seligman's statements by the
fact that he has always been re-
garded as one of the political econ
omists of Big Business.
The professor tossed another bomb
shell when he declared that the
banks of this country were carrying
ian enormous amount of frozen
credits" This was a flat contradic-
ton of the statements issued by the
officials of the Federal Reserve
Board. By frozen credits" Prof
Seligman meant loans on which the
banks could not realize.
Following Prof. Seligman's speech
T. Frank Manville, chief executive
of the worlds greatest corporation
devoted to the mining and prepare
ton of asbestos, made public an
nouncement of a decision he had
made in relation to his employees
Mr.. Manville stated that last fall
he had been engaged in a study of
plans to bring about decreased cost
of production, and had come to the
conclusion that the best method for
increasing economies and lowering
costs would be to increase wages.
Commenting on Mr.. Manville's
statement, the Wall Street Journal
says:
president Manville therefore has
established new and higher stand
ards for salaries and wages, and
also has taken on considerable
number of men whom he has beer
compelled by business depression tc
lay off. Already the results Justify
his philosophy"

j. s. SENATE AUDIT
COSTS S25,OOO,OOO
FURTHER AUDITS TO RECOVER
ENTERTAINMENTS FOR AIR
CRAFT

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. Is
1t was learned today from Hon. John
II. Bartlett, chairman of the Civil
Service Commission, that the War
Department had authorized further
audits of contracts for aircraft which
were terminated by negotiated agree
ments during the latter part of 1918
and early in 1919, with a view to
the recovery of overpayments esti-
mated at $25,000 100000.
Mr.. Bartlett said that the Civil
Service Commission was interested
in this matter in connection with the
clerical work of the audits. He said
that he had been informed by the
War Department that three audits
recently completed established over
payments for aircraft totalling 81
81 100000. He said that informal
figures obtained from accounting
firms indicate that it would cost the
government a sum close to S1,000,000
to complete the additional audits
which are contemplated; that, by the
use of accountants obtained through
the Civil Service Commissions exam
nations, the three audits completed.
OOldIllIlS ICCONtIN VI lllOIt Jldli
81 100000 had cost the government
only $4,000 for all expenses of the
audits, and that the War Department
further stated that the additional
audits could be performed by civil
service employees for less than $780,
900, as against the $1,000,000 asked
by private auditing companies, to re
cover the estimated overpayments Of
$25 100000.
MI. Bartlett said that the three
audits which had been made by civil
service employees had been placed in
the hands of reliable public account
ing firms by the contractors affected,
to determine the correctness and ac-
curacy Of the audits, with the result
that all the cases had been declared
flawless from an accounting stand
point, and could not be upset.
