Some prices are higher than ever.
Rent, the largest single item for every
family, remains as high as ever and
in most cases is higher.
at is announced that the reduc-
tion just ordered amounts to 1872
per cent. My calculation shows that
the wage of the lowest paid, those
getting 28 cents an hour, are to be
reduced l7.8 per cent, down to %
cents an hour. Those least able to
stand the loss are hit hardest.
The decision penalties the work
ers and helps the railroads. 1t is
another illustration of the unftness

A QUESTION
Is Mexican Uprising Again
To Be Staged?

WASHINGTON. "Trade unionists
should read between the lines when
they read newspaper dispatches from
San Antonio, Tex, that Mexico is
again on the verge of revolution, +"
said Canuto Vargas, Spanish secre-
tary of the Pan-American Federation
of Labor, of which Samuel Gompers
is president.
''The latest comic opera revolution
that is to be staged" said Vargas,
''is to be headed by General Felix
Diaz, whose only claim for recogni-
ton as a leader in Mexico is that he
bears the name of the late dictator of
Mexico, Porfrio Diaz.
1T is highly significant that a few
days before the publication of these
dispatches, a Washington newspaper,
generally considered spokesman for
the Harding administration, carried
vitriolic editorial against the OBJ
regon government and stated that
another revolution in Mexico was
more than probable.
A writer in another Washington
newspaper, from whose remarks it
can be easily concluded that he has
been in very close touch with the state
department, says American officials
are surprised at the attitude of the
Mexican government because it re.
fuses to accede to the demands OF
the American government in exchange
for recognition.
"These incidents, coming so close
together and beginning with the vitri
oic editorial of scarcely a week ag'
in the Washington Post, have the ear
marks of another drive by the admin
istration to bring Mexico to the poin

LOCKOUT OLD EMPLOYEES
SMOOTH SCHEME OF RAI. BARONS IN CONTRACTING WITH
PRIVATE" COMPANIES FOR REPAIR WORK MEANS
"SQUEEZE" OF SHOP MEN ON GIGANTIC SCALE
Penous System Means Long Workers Seniority
Rights Must Accept Lower Wages, Longer Hours And
Harder Working Conditions

The contracting of repair work by
railroads is a gigantic lockout of their
shop employees.
These workers are notified that all
connection between them and the rail
road is at an end, and if they desire
to remain employed they must apply
to the private company that has con-
tracted to do the railroads repair
work.
Then the shop employees find the
purpose of the lockout-they are Of
fered lower wages, longer hours and
harder working conditions.
The railroads defend this contract
ing by the claim that it is no differ
ent from other contracts they enter
into.
This claim is most superficial. 1t
will not stand analysis.
By locking out these employees the
roads have broken contracts which call
for specified notice before termina-
ton; they have violated seniority
rights which workers secured after
long service, and they have ended
privileges that have always been as
sociated with railroad work
TO say that the railroads discharged
these workers is to play with words.
The railroads do not want these work
ers to quit. If they did quit the rail
roads would turn on their tap of pub
lie virtue and hysteria that served
them in their campaign for the Cum

to put the blame on congress. The
president was told that congress had
not provided the funds necessary to
make the postal eight-hour effective
by confnng overtime to emergency
cases. The president punctured this
sophistry Of bureaucrats by saying,
Failure Of the congress to provide
reasonable funds for the performance
Of this work scarcely creates an EN-.
ergency"
In other words, postal officials can
not ignore the eight-hour law and
then blame congress for failing to
provide the funds The president or
dered the postmaster general to put
ON additional clerks and thus elimi-
nate overtime and he would aid in get
ting what money might be needed
from congress.

the Obregon government before the
American people"
AT the present time Adolfo de la
Huerta, secretary of the treasury Of
the Mexican government, is in New
York city comforting with interna-
tional bankers on MeXico's foreign
debt 1t might be asked if it is the
purpose of these attacks from Wash
ington, and stories of the so-called
revolution, to handicap Huerta in his
negotiations with the bankers and
possibly coerce him into conditions
that would not be possible if the gov
ernment of Mexico was recognized by
the United States government"

Minis -Esch bill and on every other oc-
casion when their hand is open rather
than fist shape
The Cummins-Esch law provides
that wages shall be Just and reason
able," and the railroad labor board
is to decide The scheme Of private
contracting takes wages of these en-
ployes outside the boards jurisdic-
tion and nullifes the intent Of con
gress.
The law also empowers the board
to act in any dispute that is likely
to substantially interrupt commerce.
1t must be borne in mind that the
railroads demanded this law and their
newspapers insisted on its passage.
The latter called upon every citizen
to join the chorus for justice to the
public, the railroads and the employees.
This charming picture, however, has
been disarranged, since the financiers
have squeezed the Cummins- Esch act
for about the last penny and now con
slider it a liability, rather than an as
set IN their labor crushing policy.
It's labor provisions are houted by
the men who made the law passibe
and their newspapers are mute The
contracting with private companies
has been most braZen No one de-
nies that these companies are dunn
mics without capitalization or fnan-
cial standing and use the shops of the
railroads they have contracted with.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-06-09

The board has recently ruled in the
case Of an obscure railroad, that its
contracting is a violation of the Cum
mins-Esch law and that while the de-
cision applies only to that road, the
principle will be applied to all others
when their cases are reviewed.
And the other roads quickly mott
fly the board through the public press
that the boards policy will be resisted
The purpose of this lockout is clear
The railroads want cheaper produc-
ton, regardless Of justice, law, con-
tracts, custom and understandings
between men
1t now remains for some federal
Judge to eXonerate the railroads and
envelope with his clammy legalisms
and cob-webby lore the attempt of the
roads to violate law and degrade
working conditions at the same time
This lockout will be remembered by
workers the next time they are assur-
ed that their dependence upon econom-
ic power would not be necessary if
they trust a government board to as
certain the facts and then depend
upon public opinion to enforce a just
award"
This is the favorite sing song to
labor Of those editors who are now
silent while the railroads wreck the
law they iammed through congress
with the aid of the most extensive
lobby ever assembled.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1922-06-09

The bill was approved, however, by
men who crack their throats in pro-
test against 'un-American class legis-
lation" when labor asks for remedial
laws or representation on government
tai boards These lawmakers now not
only ignore former claims but vote
for an act that they acknowledge is
OF no value, and whose only purpose
is vote hunting among farmers.
Congressman Meyer London taunt-
ed the lawmakers who profess fear of
class legislation when labor is IN
volved, and who, by their votes, off
cially recognize financial, agricultur-
a, industrial and commercial inter
ests"
Without it ever having been IN
tended said the New York congress
man, this bin will help to do away
with the fiction that there are no
group or class interests in society"
He offered an amendment to include
a representative Of labor as a mem

stated that = expect unanimous

Association which was restrained

The decrease in all adult groups
