in editorial vaporings that is given
to the public when so-called "em-

Mr.. Calder is Swift's manager of
industrial relations. He explained
that the company union" is known
as an assembly and is composed of
Is representatives of the employees
and Is representatives of the man

are foremen (who are always in di-
rect touch with the workers and who
dispense the favors and easy jobs)
The committee on changes in work
ing conditions, which consists of four
members from each side. is the most
important committee of the assem-
bly,. said the astute Mr.. Calder. This

nous. but subject to the approval or
disapproval of the assembly. A de-
cision of the assembly. to be effec-
tive, must secure at least a two
thirds vote.
There is no provision for arbitra-

FAMINE RELIEF
TAG DAY MAY II

The Snohomish County unit of the
nationwide movement to send ma
chinery to the famine districts of
Russia is being rapidly organized, as
a result of which plans for a drive
for funds with which to purchase a
tractor are we'll under way. Tag
days will be held in Stanwood and
East Stanwood on merit Saturday, the
goth. and in Everett on May 9th.
Arlington will follow in the very
near future.
On May 10th, twenty tractors were
shipped from New York into the de-
vastated district, complete unit in
Guiding the personnel accompanying
the shipment. This will demonstrate
what can be done with improved ma
chinery. The cost of this unit was
100000.
On July 1st, five hundred high
class technicians will leave Seattle
via Vancouver, B. c., for the famine
districts where their particular skill
will be most needed. This combina-
tion of highly skilled mechanics and
modern machinery means that ten
loaves OF bread can hereafter be
raised where but one was raised be-
fore, thus insuring any district
against future famines.
Many cities throughout the coun-
try have already Joined in this cam
paign and are holding tag days.
New York City raised $4,000 and
Los Angeles $1,000 in this way.
while Grand Rapids. Mich, has sent
four tractors.
In view of this activity in other
parts of the country, it is the desire
of the committee in charge of this
work that Snohomish County make
a creditable showing.
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1922-05-19

can ask the latter to reconsider the
matter. If the assembly persists in
its decision Cor in other words. if
several of the foremen join with all
the employees representatives. "the
question is left open as to possible
steps or consequences"
Summed up, it is shown that the
committee on working conditions is
so per cent controlled by foremen.
To secure improved working condi-
tions or wages the workers must in
duce the four foremen on the COM
mittee to Join with them. as a unani-
nous report is necessary. Then the
workers must secure all of their
representatives in the assembly and
one-third of the fifteen foremen. If
the firm objects there is no pro-
vision for arbitration. and Mr.. Cald-
well naively declares that "the ques-
tion is left open as to possible steps
or consequences"
In reading Mr.. Caldwell's frank
description of how this company "un-
ion" works-and how it works the
workers "a high brow must be
equipped with an extra plating of
brass to defend this shameful libes
on democracy or call it "employe
representation"

Witnesses Arrested
In California Case
CIVIL LIBERTIES UNION CALLS
ACTION UNPARALLELED

With the conviction of Earl frey
and John Casdorf at Sacramento OF
April 11th under the California Grim.
inal syndicalism act, the prosecution
has ended a case which has attracted
the attention of lawyers throughout
the country, and which will be useo
by the general defense counsel of the
|. w. w. to test the constitutionality
of the law before the United States
Supreme Court.
frey and Casdorf were convicted
upon evidence of mere membership
in the l. w. W.; no overt act was
charged; but the outstanding. feature
of the trial was the arrest of eleven
defense witnesses as they left the
witness stand after admitting mem
bership in the l. W. W.. a proceed
ing characterized by attorneys of the
American Civil Liberties Union as
unparalleled in the history of the
criminal law"
Upon telegraphed reports from Ell
mer Smith. attorney for the defense,
the American Civil Liberties Union
telegraphed protest to District Attor-
ney Hugh B. Bradford, declaring the
proceedings "vindictive and reac-
tionary."
"Official duty compels this action
on our part" Mr.. Bradford replied.
THE parties were arrested for fel-
onies committed in this state, not for
intimidation. The action is not un-
paralleled but followed wherever fel-
onies are committed in the presence
of prosecuting officials"
In reply the Union telegraphed Mr..
Bradford.
eve assume your action was based
upon statements in the testimony
deemed to violate the syndicalism
law. Such procedure amounts in eff
fert to intimidation of witnesses and
it must result in conviction by exc
cutive fiat, not by judicial process.
We challenge reference to single
case of parallel conduct in the his
tory of Anglo Saxon jurisprudence
We believe your action mocks judi
cial processes and brings the law in
to contempt. AS this is significant
nationally may we urge immediate
discontinuance."
At the conclusion of the trial
eleven witnesses had been arrested
and held in the Sacramento county
Jail, and a special grand jury is to be
called to act on the arrests immedi-
ately.
