BACK TO 10-HOUR DAY.

By tricky propaganda meat packers
are attempting to convince the public
that this industry is on the eight-hour
basis.
The 10-hour day with no overtime
is the rule.
The hat-in-hand press, as usual, is
aiding the packers in |'putting over''
their hoax on the people, as is shown
by this recent statement:
"Overtime in three of the big pack
ing plants, Armour & Co., Swift & Co.,
and Morris &, Co., will be henceforth
only after 10 hours Of work, accord
ing to an announcement made by Of
ficials of the plants today. They deny,
however, = that the plan in operation
abolishes the eight-hour day, and ex.
plain that the changes have been made
with the full approval Of the employees
through their plant organizations,
which gives them a voice in working
conditions.'
It will be noticed that the eight
hour day is not misunderstanding
to the statement-but the workers
must labor two additional hours be-
fore they receive overtime, when for
mrly the overtime started after eight
hours.
The reference to employees giving
their full approval" refers to hand
picked company "unions" that the
packers established when they ar
ranged their recent wage cut, which
they knew would cause strike. The
company FSunions' accepted the wage
cut, and the packers used this fact to
defend their act. T.
The ability Of the packers to pay a
living wage and to recognize the eight.
hour day is indicated by last years
report Of Morris & Co., showing div
idend of 1888 per cent, which was
issued in the form Of stock dividends.
Because Of these inordinate profits a
surplus Of $37,ooO,ooo was piled up.
This was capitalized, thereby increas-
ing the company s capital stock from
$3,000,000 to $40,O00,000. =Ess.

adopting the present federal constitu
tion, refused to give this power to the
supreme court. The last attempt to give
this power to the court provided that
when congress passed an act the presi-
dent and the supreme court would
consider the proposed law and make
recommendations to congress.
The majority Of the convention del
egates were so fearful Of court usur-
patton that. they refused to even per.
NIT the court to make recommenda
tions. They said the court has no bus
iness making laws.
Marshall's audacity created an in
stitution that has proven superior to
the other two branches of government.
The president can veto acts of. con-
gress and congress can override the
veto by a two-thirds vote, but the
supreme court is answerable to no one.
These nine men are appointed for life.
1t is an autocracy within a republican
form Of government and by it's system
Of majority decisions it is possible for
five judges to dictate the people s
welfare and subordinate congress and
the chief executive.
John Marshall is dead, but his brain
and his purpose go marching on. The
few lines that he injected into the
Marbury decision, 119 years ago, has
evolved judicial despot that has
overthrown the legislative and execu-
tive branches of government. These
must bow to the whims and moods Of
nine irresponsible men whose only au-
thority is daring man who repudi-
ated earlier views when he became
chief justice.
Trade unionists and patriotic citi-
zens generally can study the history
of the supreme court with profit to
themselves and to their country. This
study will unfold an amazing stale Of
how audacious men drug the people s
will, filch their rights and block their
purpose.
Court usurpation will henceforth be
one of the great public questions in
this country. !
Organized labor is committed to con-
stitutional changes that will restore
to the people the governmental system
our forefathers intended.
Let every wage worker be intellect
ually equipped for the coming battle,
Court usurpation cannot Withstand
the resistless tide of an intelligent
public opinion. ;, .. ..
Let the workers arm themselves
with facts and drag this judicial des-
potism into the glare of white heat

MULTI ING Rail AC

IT the railroads subject to the
transportation act can legally farm
out their shop work and labor to
private blishments underZ wage
and working conditions at variance
with those fixed by the railroad la
Dor board,' says the. New York
World, ''they can in equal indepen-
dence contract with outside parties
to operate the trains and supply the
labor therefor, whether it be engi-
reers or firemen or conductors or
trainmen or other. And If this can
be legally done. then the transporta-
ton act in it's vital features of pub
lie regulation to avert strikes and
their calanitous Interruptions Of
traffic can be evaded and nullified
at will by the roads themselves.
: 1.-THE roads must keep under the
law in their relations with employees,
as in other particulars It was never
made to be observed only in so far
as the roads like it and to be kicked
in the face in SO far as they do not
like it" --.,..

HARD1NG's PROCLAMATION.

First the railroad labor board and
now President Harding would do a
thing congress refused to do and that
is to put an anti-strike clause in the
Esch- Cummins act.
The labor board set out to outlaw
the members Of the shop crafts
unions for going on strike in protest.
against a ruling Of the board. They
had lawful right to strike. There
is no question about that. If they did
not have that right their leaders
would all be in Jail now. But the la
Dor board attempted to put force in
it's ruling by holding that a strike
against it was a strike against the
government of the United States,
which it is not 1t is strike against
two things, first, against the labor
board $ assumption Of mandatory pow
ers, and second, against an unfair and
unjust decision affecting the.lives and
rights of the workers. And the labor
board is backing up.
Now comes President Harding with
a proclamation in which he admits
that number of railroads have not
obeyed rulings of the labor board ad
verse to them, and according to a de-
cision rendered by Federal Judge Page
in the Pennsylvania railroad case the
railroads are not compelled to obey
any ruling Of the board. The court
held that the labor board decisions
were merely cdvisory' and might
be accepted or rejected by the EN-,
ployers or employs.
The president, it would seem, be.
lieves that the power Of the railroad
labor board is supreme. "The peace
full settlement Of controversies in ac-
cordance with law and due respect for
the established agencies of such set
tlement are essntial to the security
and well-being of our people, said
the president in his proclamation.
President Harding has very polite
way of stating the case, but stripped
of it's polish the language he employs
clearly indicates that he would make
it obligatory upon the railroad work
ers to obey the ruling Of the railroad
labor board without question.
The language Of the president in his
latest proclamation is not unlike that
used in the Republican platform dur
ing the last campaign. The section re-
lating to strikes reads as follows:
"The strike as a means of settling
industrial disputes, inflicts such loss
and suffering on the community as to
justify governmental initiative to re-
duce it's frequency and limit its con-
sequences.
Republican labor apologists during
the heat Of the campaign denied that
such declaration meant compulsory
arbitration or that the government
would engage in strikebreaking, but
in spite Of their denial then the gov
ernment is now in the strikebrcaking
business and if President Harding can
have his way compulsory arbitration
will be an established fact in America.
Should the courts uphold his inter
probation of the labor board s power
under the Esch- -Cummins law the pres
ident will have succeeded in bringing
about something this congress has not
had the nerve to do.
What would Woodrow Wilson in
the White House be now worth to Ia
Dor and freedom? The striking shop
men surely have learned the differ
ence between an administration bossd
by Wall street and an administration
that stood. out against special priv
ilege and gave American labor the

DEFEAT THEM ALL.

The announced retirement of Rep.
resentative Joseph W. Fordney (Rep.,
Mich.) chairman Of the house ways
and means committee, and the defeat
Of Senator Porter j. McComber (Rep.,
N. d. chairman of the senate finance
committee, relegates the joint authors
Of the Profiteers' Tariff bill now
pending in the house, and commonly
known as as1"Fordney's Folly" to pri-
vate life, where they both belong.
It would have been some satisfac-
tion, perhaps, to the average citizen
to have had the opportunity to cast a
vote against either of them as re-
,pudiation Of their Infamous bill, but
the same results can be had by voting
against any old guard Republican con-
gressional candidate because the re-
election of reactionary Republican
congress means a continuation Of the
same policy which Fordney and Nc,
Cumber strove to carry out.
The way to repudiate the reaction
ism Of Fordney and McCumber is for
the voters to repudiate reactionary
candidates in all districts and states.
The boast Of Senator Mccormick
(Rep., In.) that the administration
has cut down income taxes would have
been more effective in the interest Of
truth if he had stated that the reduc-
tion had been on the incomes from the
multi-millionaire profiteering class.
The whole truth, however, is in the
fact that not only were the income
taxes of this class reduced, but also
in the manner in which income tax
reduction was accomplished. This was
done by the simple process in hun
.dreds Of thousands of cases by reduc-
ing incomes and, in many cases by
abolishing them altogether.
at. q.
J.. It may be doubted if President
Harding feels flattered when his own
press tells him that he is more popu-
lar than congress. a person could have
very unenviab1e reputation and be
very much more popular than the sit
ting reactionary Republican congress
which is denounced by leading Re
publican newspapers as HHthe worst
congress in twenty years. =

IS ENLARGED
Official Announcements Lack
ing but Improvements Are
in Progress.

Reports from Glenrock indicate that
the Mutual is starting a campaign OF
expansion and enlargement there
which when completed viii place Il
among the larger refining centers in
the state outside of Casper.
Very little has been given out as
70 the ultimate objects OF the company
but enough has been started to show
that the plant will be much larger
when the work now outlined Is com
pleted.
Work has been started N the en-
lnrsement OF the boiler house and a
large car painting and repair shop
will be built on the north side Of the
presen: plant where cars can be
switched from the Northwestern for
painting and repairing.
Forty acres adjoining the refinery
sito on the north have been purchased
and sites for two 5000 barrel tanks
are now being graded. 1t is supposed
that a portion OF this ground will also
be used for additions to the plant.
As 1t is the policy OF the Standard
to keep its plant large enough to
meet the requirements OF handling
the oil after 1t Is cracked by the com
pany which its plant adjoins such as
IL does at that point. Il Is highly prob
able that announcement OF enlarge,
