President Walker Speaks

President John III. Walker, in talk
ing of the settlement of the building
trades lockout, said he was very
much gratified to learn that the
trouble had been settled in so salts
factory manner. He believed this
end had been accomplished mainly
through the publicity given organ
lied labor's stand through the mass
meetings, and through The Review.
He wished that the meetings might
continue, and that every unionist in
the Twin Cities might subscribe and
support their paper" He referred
to statement said to have been made
by the secretary of the Associated
Employers, that his business was
breaking labor unions, and he pro-
posed to remain in the Twin Cities
until his business had been finished.
Mr.. Walker said he was afraid local
unlonists would, under present cir
cumstances, be afflicted with the pres
ence of this open shopper" for quite
a spell yet.
Agitation in the "open shop" has
only stirred up added interest and
spurred union men to greater effort,
was the opinion of Mr.. Walker, who
said he did not believe the labor
movement had lost one real union
list because of he open shop" Card
men had, to some extent, deserted the
union, but will be drifting back, if
they can get back, when the trouble
blows over.
Since the "open shop" move was
started, there has been more interest
IN the cooperative movement than in
al time before, many of whom had
turned to cooperative enterprises
rather than trust their savings to
merchants who might use it against
them.
Closer cooperation between the
various groups of unionists has also
resulted, and during recent months
much benefit has been derived by
united action. This, said Mr. Walker,
satisfies me that we are broadening
out.
Railroads now know that if they
had had proper cooperation between
the railroad brotherhoods, they would
not now be faced with wage redue-
tons and changed conditions of labor.
There is more cooperation between
the farmer and city worker than there
was few years ago A 6S per cent
reduction in the price of the farmers
crops This wages) has shown the
thinking farmer the fallacy of leaving
his welfare in the hands of grain
spectators.
The lockout of the coal miners was
touched upon by the speaker, who
said the trouble was due to the fail
ure of the operators to abide by their
agreement to negotiate new scale
of wages.
He said that during the war, when
coal was selling for SIS ton, the
highest cost to place coal at the
mouth of the mine was $2.15 a ton.
Mr.. Walker said he guessed the price
was put at SIS simply for patriotic
purposes.
There are three mines for every
mine that is needed, if they We're
properly worked-three times as
much overhead as is needed, all of
which is paid for by the consumer.
The present destructive method of
mining, leaves one-third of available
coal in the ground thus destroying
one-third of the nations fuel.
Thirty-six thousand miners in the
state of Illinois received compensa-
ton for injuries or We're killed during
the past ten years, one out of every
two miners in the state being either
killed or injured, and this does not

Of the executive board Of the state
Federation Of Labor
Mr.. Connors congratulated the
Twin City Federation Of Labor upon
the success Of the meetings held dur
ing the winter, and said he vas par
ticularly pleased at the large number
Of ladies who have attended the meet
ings at which he had been fortunate
enough TO be present. Il is an un-
common thing, he said, 10 see 50 many
women at a labor meeting. He sad
he was not used to talking to women
except one, and she wouldn't listen
to him, therefore anything ne said to
the men would also apply to the
ladies.
The importance Of political action
was his theme. We must make up
our minds, he said, that industrial
wars in the future must be settled
by political action. The women, as
well as the men, must inform them
selves upon political matters, and
when election day comes around, all
must be sufficiently well informed as
to the records of the different candi-
dates that there will be no mistakes
made when casting the ballot.
This country is made up Of two
groups, said Mr.. Connors, one group
Of plumber and one group of toll. The
group of plumber has gotten hold OF
the machinery of government, al
though the group of toll greatly out
numbers them, but it is the fault of
the group of toll for not knowing
how to vote, or for wilfully voting
contrary to his best interests. The
group of plumber boasts they have
control of the executive, legislative
and judiciary of the country.
The group of plumber has recently
secured from the judiciary an injunc-
ton restraining the railway labor
board from enforcing the Pennsyl-
vania railroad to live up to its con-
tract with its employees, and even re-
straining it from publishing its rul-
ings regarding that railroad. This is
the road that is now asking that the
wages of rail workers be cut from 10
to 30 per cent.
Now is the time for railroad work.
ers to solidify their ranks and take
some concrete action, and notify the
board that If ii disturbs the present
status of the railroad worker, they
will strike over the entire United
States, said Mr.. Connor If the rail-
roads cannot be made to live up to
their agreement, he said, then there
cannot be any justification in demand
ing that the rail workers live up to
theirs.
Patronage of the union label was
given much Importance by the speak
err, who characterized the label as an
asset of labor well worth considering.
Its general patronage would go a long
ways toward securing for labor more
steady employment at good wages.
However, said Mr. Connors, he
thought it wrong that unionists were
to buy union hats and 9TH
err things bearing the union label from
clerks.
Mr.. Connors has just returned from
Texas, where, he said, the "open
shop" is driving men into the unions
faster than they ever joined before.
confronting them in "open
shop" factories have forced them to
join the unions for protection, and
eventually, the unions of that section
will emerge from the fray with added
strength and added power.

Appeals to the Women

Miss Mary McEnerary, secretay of
the Bindery Workers Union of Chi
cago, and second vice-president of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor,
briefly told of the need of organiza-
ton among women, especially along
the lines of politics. She urged the
women to take an active part in the
labor movement, and to join those as
sociations of women whose object it
is to promote the union label. For,
she said, with 100000 organized
workers, each earning an average of
So day, or total of $4,000, 900 a
day at the disposal of organized
labor, how long would the "open
shop" last if every dollar of this vast
sum was spent for none but union
made goods? She urged the women
to work for the enactment of laws
beneficial to women workers in indus
try, and the insistence of the women
that their representative in the legis-
lature give their support to these
measures.

The Twin City Cooperative So
ciety Is d good store, said Mr.. Wal
ker, and the reason it isn't better is
because more union people do not be-

patronize the store, instead, as he
said, of giving money 10 open shop
pers" to hire paid agitator to bust
the unions.
There are over 600 cooperative
stores in Illinois, and more are being
organized every month.

Walker. Join the cooperative So

refusal to issue, or their issuance of
njunctions. Not only that, but the
ehancellOrs were governed largely by
the Roman law while the early Eng
lish courts were governed by the
common law. And, in addition, there
arose a conflict of authority and in
law and the court of equity. In this
struggle the lawyers were practical
~ unanimous in their support of the
common law judges.
1t is advisable that we should ex-
anime the development of courts of
equity in England a little farther in
another article before taking up the
question of the courts of equity and
the injunctions they have issued af-
fecting labor in the United States.

Boost the goods that you are SELL

Greensboro Disputes Baptist Contentious s
 Founding at Marion

Greensboro, November 19.-1Spe- they are being defrauded of their birthright unless the statement sent out from Cullman, November 16 in regard to the founding of the Ala- bama Baptist convention be corrected. That report says Marion was the place whore the convention was founded 99 years ago. But Greens boro was the birthplace of this im- portant assemblage. Riley's History of Alabama Baptists bears witness to this fact.
 The first Baptist church In this part of the state was organized by Rev. Joseph Ryan in 1sf9. It was known as Salem Baptist church, and was built in the eastern part f Greensboro near the fork of the Newborn and Marion roads. It was large frame building, not plas- tered, and with wooden shutters in- stead of windows.
 5 ssIn 1920 the-C -Cahaba Baptist associa tion convened in Salem church and in 1923 fthe Alabama Baptist state convention was organized in this same church. Twenty delegates were present, representing 20 churches with membership of probably 1000. In 1884 the Baptist convention met with Salem church, and much impor- tant business was put through, nota- bly, the founding of the Baptist Man ual Labor school, located in Greens bore.
 From it's very beginning many prominent people were included in the membership of this historic old church. It's early pastors numbered Rev. Daniel F. Restor and Rev. Thomas Clifton in their lists.
 The Baptists are holding a revival here this week. and the new pastor, Rev. w. K. E. Jones, is dLing some able preaching, with Professor Sellers of New Orleans In charge of the sing ing. s-i
