WORKERS STRIKE BACK
TRADE UNION ENJOINS EMPLOYERS FROM
SMASHING WAGE CONTRACT-ACTION
FIRST IN COUNTRY'S HISTORY
Three-Year Agreement Between Employers and Ladies'
Garment Workers Union to Stand Declares
Supreme Court

New York-Justice Robert +. .Wag
ner, of the state supreme court, has
issued a mandatory order upon the
New York Cloak, Suit and Skirt Man
ufacturers' Association to abrogate
their lockout order against the Inter
national Ladies' Garment Workers
Union, which was made at a meeting
Of the manufacturers association last
October 25. The court order was is
sued on motion made several weeks
ago by the unions counsel. The SUI
preme court has sustained the unions
claim that the manufacturers had
tiagrantly broken a three-year agree
ment entered into May 20, 1919, and
a supplemental agreement made in
June, 1921, by their conspiracy to put
into effect the piece-work system and
the 49-hour week on last November ID,
instead of the week-work system, the
44-hour week and minimum wage
rates established by the two contracts.
Justice Wagner's decision enjoins
the manufacturers association, it's
members or officers from combining
or conspiring in any way to order,
direct, instigate, counsel, advise or
encourage its members to cease per-
forming or to violate agreements of
May 29, 1919, and June 3, 1921, from
ordering or encouraging such men,
bers to abrogate and discontinue the
provisions of said agreement for the
system of week work prior to June l.,
1922, or to increase the hours of labor
above al hours per week until the
said first of June" The order also re-
strains the manufacturers from inter
fering with any member of their asso-
citation who may agree to restore the
terms of the agreement.
In his decision Justice Wagner said,
in part "Out of the mass of affida-
Wits submitted by both sides, with de-
malls and some conflict of facts, there
survives clearly preponderance of
evidence in favor of the plaintiff, es-

WHEELS BUzZIN'
And All Set For Another
Revolt

New York.-Once more the nation
is to be overthrown. The usual pre-
liminary will be to wreck the A. f.
of L.
The stage has been set. Blue
prints cover every detail. Pronuncia-
mentos have been issued. Organiza-
tion machinery is ready TO start
The one thing needed is dues paying
members, Then the high sign to rev
Iolute will be given by the leaders"
All this was arranged at a meet
ing in this city when a group of
unions" dual to the A. F. of l..
launched the general council of united
labor and indorsed the Russian third
international. The A. f. of L. organ
ization system is used, except the
control of the new union" and power
to remove subordinate officials is held
by a small group.
A few of the members who are
democratically inclined object to this
autocracy, but they are assured that
it is necessary for genuine revolu-
tionists to guard the movement
against evilminded men who would
sidetrack the great uprising.
No legitimate trade union would
dare apply this autocracy, but the
world savers awe the multitude-for
while. When the awakening comes,
another revolution is started on more
scientific" lines and the blue prints
and pronunciamentos are revised.
The present dualist movement was
launched with the usual pleas for
unity of labor" and attacks on "the
Gompers bureaucrats.

MONEY MAD
Vessel Owners Would Pro-
fiteer on Hunger
Double Shipping Rates On
Relief Supplies For Starv-
ing Russians

Washington-The heartlessness of
money-mad vessel owners is again
shown in their attempt to profteer at
the expense of starving Russians, for
the relief of whom congress appropri-
ated $2O,O00O0O.
The act provides that American
ships shall transport the grain and
other supplies. Instead of meeting
this life-saving effort of the Ameri-
can people in the same spirit, the
ship owners jumped their freight
rates, which will decrease the amount
of the appropriation that would act
ually reach the Russians. 1t was stat
ed on the senate floor that the rate of
y cents per 100 pounds to ports on
the Baltic sea has been increased to
"A cents. Because of this greed, the
loss to starving Russians has been
estimated between $1,000,000 and
$2,000,000, with the resultant death
OF thousands of helpless people
1t is stated that government ships
will be used where possible, although
the repair of idle ships will be ex-
pensive. The government owns 400
steel merchant vessels, and 1872 of
these are in operation On regular
routes. The remainder are idle and
are in need of repairs, it is stated
This waste verifes the position taken
by officers of the International Sea
mems union, who have continuously
urged the shipping board to place
sufficient men on the ships to keep
them in repair The unionists have
pointed out to the board, time and
again, that ship in operation has a
smaller repair bill than one tied to a
dock or is anchored.

CLEAR VISION
Lacking in Hundred Per
Cent Patriots, Says
Professor

Pittsburgh, Pa.-One hundred per
cent patriots can't see straight; they
are blind to local and sentimental 10y
alties that develop character, Herman
A. Miller, of Oberlin college, told the
members of the American Sociological
society
"One hundred per cent patriots are
the greatest obstructionists to clear
vision" he said I'm my opinion 10 to
Is per cent would be q proper pro-
portion of patriotism to represent the
true situation. That would allow for
local and sentimental loyalties, which
are essential to character and leave
enough to include other significant
groupings which are already inter-
national in scope, such as religious,
culture, economic interest and SYM
pathy, as is indicated by our feeding
German and Russian children. There
is no nationality to a hungry child.
There is no inconsistency in divided
loyalties.
1.-THE constitutions of the new states
recognize this when they provide for
the rights of national minorities. We
are already on the verge of the prac-
tice of nationality tolerance similar
to religious tolerance. An absolute
patriot is as anomalous as an asbo-
lutte sectarian.
at is the immediate job of educa-
tors to point out both the existing
and potential international groupings
to which we belong in order that our
loyalties may be adapted as reali-
ties. The decentralization of patrio-
tism in the British empire shows that
we may have states and nations and
an international patriotism without
any strain on human nature.

MINERS ARE STARVING

Washington.-In letters to Presi-
dent Harding, West Virginia miners
ask for federal aid and deny recent
statements by Governor Morgan, of
that state, that there is no starvation
among the miners families.
Marfolk, W. Va, miners state that
they worked but three months last
year, and they are unable to say why
the mines are not operating.
''The majority, or practically all, of
these men, who number about 200,
are in a destitute condition, some not
even having meal ahead nor the
means Of obtaining such, it is stat
ed.
Similar statements have been made
by miners in Mabscott and other min
ing centers.

! PARIS, Oct. l5.--The optimism over
I the signature of the Mundania armi.
/ stice and the British abandonment of a
forceful policy in the Near East has
recalled the public attention to thu
progressive liquidation Of several post
war problems. These problems have
to be handled gradually as it is easier
for government to enforce uneco-
nonlic measures under the plea of mill
tary necessity than to restore the
regime Of normal competition after
ward.
The eight-hour day measure was
passed after the armsstice, when the
country was organized solely for war
production and was protected from
foreign competition. Now interna-
tional equality is demanding efficiency
and the merchant marine, for its own
protection, fortnight ago, was forced
to establish longer working day.
The railroads, whose expenses were
increased 300 per cent and the per-
sonnel 80 per cent by the observance of
the eight-hour day, are to follow suit to-
day with a compromise which adds
some 800 hours annually per employee.
This step is expected to save about
2o0,0O0,000 francs.
The law cannot be abrogated direct
ly, but an edict just passed gives a
wider latitude to enforcement. The
provisions of this edict have to do
with wasted time, effective work only
being counted.
Where these reforms are insufficient
q lower wage scale is being put into eff
feet. The most notable example is in
the metallurgical industry. The work
ers recently accepted a 10 per cent re-
duction after fruitless niRety-day
strike. Some agitation and sabotage
characterized these rcadjustments, but
they were of a sporadic and isolated
nature and were not encouraged by the
general population.
The miners in the north thus far
have maintained their wage scale, but
revision appears necessary soon when
English COAL deprived of the American
demand, begins to penetrate again to
the continent.
Labor is beginning to realize that,
although a high standard of living is
desirable, the first principle is to in
sure that business is able to pay divl-
dends and taxes.
A more favorable attitude toward
| private enterprise is being caused not
| only by the constant deficits in the
match monopoly, which the government
NAV soon relinGuish, but confidence i:
| particularly inspired By the Bank OF
! France After the War of 1870 the
fiduciary circulation reached 3,0o0,0OO,-
600 francs against metallic reserve

pressure could induce the bank to
make further advances. It is interest
| ing to note that since January, 1920
| the same ratio has been maintained
with 5,500oo0. 900 francs cash against
81, 900 900, 900 francs in bank notes. =.
