 International Labor News WAGES, STOCKS, BEARS AND BULLS

You have heard the Wall Street talk about Bulls and Bears"
 We'll, big business has them regulated in fine shape now.
 The workers bear" the bur den while Wall Street "bulls" the market.
 In other words, when the word was announced that the lowest paid employees on the railroads had received a cut in wages of fifty millions, railroad stocks took jump and the spectators will probably clean up several hundred million.
 So, while the railroad inter ests "bear down. on the wages of the worker, they 'bull up" the decated stocks of the car riers.
 Fifty millions means a great deal to the thousands of under paid workers who are now just living. Fifty millions will mean little in lower freight rates to the farmers.

About 10 or Y years ago, l was sent into the brick and clay district along the Raritan river between South Amboy and New Brunswick, in Middlesex county, N. J., by the American Federation of Labor, to in vestigate and report on conditions
 under which employees in the industry were working.
 At that time the company store system still prevailed in New Jersey. The men employed were boarded by the brick and clay companies in mis-
 erable shacks Those with families lived in the so-called company houses, and everything they needed was bought from the company stores. They seldom, if ever, saw any real money. When the end of the month arrived, their wages were all spent for rent and board or purchases
 made at the company stores. In fact, the one that had any money coming was generally reminded that he needed something at the company store which he forgot to purchase.
 If he failed to take the hint he was
 let go and some other poor foreign
 CT, ignorant of the exploitation prac-
 ticed by the company; would be
 brought in to take his place.
 This particular company owned
 all the land for miles around You
 could not step off the road without
 stepping on the company's property. I thought the exploitation of the workers had reached about the limit,
 as above described, but To and be- hold! Upon further investigation I found a condition of exploitation
 that went beyond anything I ever heard of. These are the facts:
 The men employed receive $1.65
 per day; for a days work they had to do certain task; handle so many thousand bricks; wheel so many bar
 rows of clay, etc.
 The company charged the single
 men, whom they boarded, 85 cents
 per day for board seven days per
 week When these men had com
 pleted their days task, they were
 urged by the foreman to start an
 other days work, so that at the end
 of the month some of the men had
 put in from 10 to 12 days overtime. Anybody would naturally figure that these men would be paid the $1,65 at

ROBERTSON HEADS
 TREATMENTS UNION
Succeeds w. s. Carter Who Retires After Long and Faithful
 Service

Houston, Tex, June I6.-David B Robertson, of Cleveland, O., was unanimously elected president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Enginemen, in succession to Will liam $. Carter, who voluntarily retired after a long and brilliant record of service to his organization.
 MT. Robertson made his way to the top of this great brotherhood by dint of sheer ability, and his honor comes in recognition of his devotion to the welfare of the members.
 His first office of importance was chairman of the Erie system In Io13 5 him vice-president, where he ob- tained the experience that qualities him for still more important duties.
 Born in West Austintown, Ohio, 46 years ago, MT. Robertson early in life was thrust against the stern realities He began working when 13 years old in the shops of the Pennsylvania Ghen Erie) railroad at Youngstown.
 His educational opportunities had been confined to grade schools, but by dint of self-application and resort to night schools, he made up what he lacked and is today one of the best informed leaders in the American la Dor movement.
 MT. Robertson found his real voca- ton when he left the railroad shops and took up locomotive firing He joined the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Bremen and Enginemen at Youngstown, afiliating with Lodge Ioo On November 20, 1899.

least per day for these days of over time, but the company had a differ ent idea. They charged man S cents for every day he worked, includ- 1 ing the overtime, and as no extra | meals were furnished for the days these men worked overtime, the com pany had the overtime work done at the rate of So cents per day.
 In other words, the more these men worked, the less they were paid. The company charged them for 10 and I2 days board a month which they never received.
 This exploitation had to be abol- ished through strike of the en- ployes in that district in 1907. A regiment of militia was sent into the district at the request of tie Sayre- Fisher Company and other firms, but the soldiers were recalled by the then governor, J. Franklin Fort, within three days, when he was made acquainted with the exploitation that was practiced on the workers.
 Seventeen years have brought but little change in this district in re- gard to conditions under which these brick and clay workers live.
 dIIl lnIOI111cu lut company SC1ll maintains the company store system, and although the men are not com pelled to trade there, it is generally understood that mans job is safer if he does.
 Pay day is only once a month, but the company evades the bi-monthly law of the state by permitting the men to draw on their wages every two weeks, provided they give three days notice at the office if they want any money.
 The employees to a great extent still live in company shacks. One shack, I am told, is occupied by 24 families and boarders, every family occupying about two or three rooms about one hundred-fifty human be- ings all told; no sewers, no water, no gas, no improvements whatever, The company owns all the land, controls the town and it's officials, and is opposed to any and all i'm provements, for fear some other in dustry might locate there and absorb some of "their" labor.
 A campaign of organization and education is on among these work CTS, and we have hopes that we will be able to materially change their condition.

UNEMPLOYMENT IS LESS.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 16.-In a bulletin issued by the Wisconsin State Federation of Labor it is stated that for the first time in IS months I've can report relief in the unem- ploynent situation.
 "While there is no boom in trade conditions, we are satisfied that a de- cided gradual improvement has set in. Now IS the time to recount some of our past errors and profit thereby. The unions have retained their mem bership better during this panic than during any past depression. All that is necessary now is the right co-op- erative spirit with a little extra energy by the officers and members of every uniOn"

In pursuance of the movement which has for its purpose the urging of all work ing people to give their combined support to reputable concerns that have uniformly shown a friendly attitude toward the cause of Labor, there will here be found a directory of enterprises which we feel can be conscientiously endorsed and which are, therefore, justly entitled to our good will and united cooperation.
 cerns which are not here represented are unfriendly, nevertheless those listed on this page have demonstrated their friendliness in various ways and should have our sup port.
 Cooperation is always a two-way matter and it is our duty to cooperate with those who cooperate with us. Consult this directory carefully before making any pur- ,chases. 4 &@

It Is easy for the railroads to get a small sum like fifty mil lions out of the federal treas ury, but in order to carry out the "open shop" campaign against the workers, Wall Street must show results. Tn consequence stocks go up in value.
 Thus through the inhuman carry out the vicious "open- treatment of one branch of in dustry-the workers-the em- ployers in industry make huge profits. A majority of the auto cratic labor board set up by the Esch-Cummins law arbitrarily cuts the wages of the lowest paid workers, while few profit by it's decisions.
 It proves that railroad reg ulation of the government has its rewards And the lack of interest shown by the workers in controlling their government is reaping it's results.

The Benefit of Genoa.

Il If no tangible results come from the Genoa
conference it will still have been worth while.
What has already been accomplished, intangi-
BILE as it may seem, justifes the effort. This
is the actual bringing of the allies, Germany
and Russia with a group of neutrals together
around council table. 1t is the first getting
together of Germany and her enemies on
basis of at least theoretical equality, since the
war. 1t is the first meeting of any kind be-
tween Russia. the revolutionary giant of Eu-
rope, and the other European nations whose
fate. for good ill., is inevitably bound up
with Russia's. 1t was a happy idea on Lloyd
Georges part, and that stout-hearted states
man is doing his best to overcome the huge
obstacles of nationalistic jealousy and hatred
and bring the Quarreling European families
into some sort of working agreement He can
not fail entirely. Getting together only to dis
agree is better than not getting together at all.
With precedent of conference once estab-
lished, there is hope for the future.

Preventable Losses.

Every time there is attempt in congress
to put the Mississippi river in condition where
it will serve better the purpose of inland COM
merce, and where better protection will be
given the people that live along its banks, we
hear this cry of pork barrel. Somehow the
impression has gone abroad because of this
constant pork barrel cry that the money spent
on the river and in protection of its banks is
simply money thrown away, and that it is done
merely to gain votes for congressman living
in contiguous territory. But the falsity of this
appears when some such calamity the pres
ent flood strikes the valley. 1t then appears
that not enough has been spent to provide the
most substantial safeguards. The millions of
dollars in losses this year, if they could have
been prevented, would have provided levees
that might have held. Year after year the
effect of a niggardly policy regarding the Mis-
sissippi river appears in the vast losses sus-
tanned by the people along its banks. The
river is a national asset. 1t does not belong to
the states. The nation should take care of the
Mississippi and strive to prevent its doing such
vast damage Nor should congress be deferred
by the cry of pork barrel which is often raised
by a section of the press that is eager for
things for its own section while opposing things
that other sections may need. Even while the
Mississippi river is doing all this damage and
even while its tributaries are wiping out Illi-
nois cities hear of the promotion of ship
canal in Canada to cost hundreds of millions.
That is not pork barrel, of course. That is
deserving and highly meritorous enterprise.
But somehow it does not help the farmers of
Illinois to escape the floods, nor does it make
the Mississippi river navigable. The nayiga-
BILE rivers belong to the national government.
1t is time for the government to cease its
triffling with them and to make them behave
as far as possible.

Reaffirming the Anti Trust Laws.

If there exists a movement among power
full business interests to modify repeal the
Sherman antitrust law the Clayton anti
trust law as supplementary thereto, recent de-
cisions of the United States supreme court are
not calculated TO help them along. In the hard
wood lumber case the court dealt blow at
the numerous open price and open competi-
ton associations of manufacturers and dealers
nothing more than thinly disguised attempts
to get around these laws and reestablish re-
straint of trade and monopoly in their most
oppressive forms. In the United Shoe Machin-
cry just decided the court reaffirmed with
emphasis the validity of these laws and their
hostility to the efforts of owners of patent
rights to extend their monopoly beyond the
scope of the patent.
1t is difficult to conceive of clearer in
stance of the kind than that afforded in the
shoe machinery case. Some of the company's
machines essential in shoe manufacture are
without practical competition and for other
machines their is competition. But by requir-
ing the lessees of the non-comp etitive machines
to use the other machines OF the company also
penalty of having the essential non-com-
pettive machines withdrawn the company
would be enabled to hold the whole industry in
its grip and exact its own terms. The Ameri-
people are much opposed to monopoly
in competitive industry ever. These decis-
ions of the supreme court show that the laws
made on their behalf against monopoly are as
greatly and effectively in force as ever Big
business will do well to give heed. 1t will be
wasting its time and money to work for the
repeal or emasculation of these laws. 1t knows
by this time what they mean. 1t must act
accordingly.
