EXTEND CONTRACT
PLAN

Marion, 0.-The Erie railroad an
nounces that a private company will
employ track laborers and foremen
and crossing watchmen on the Chicago
division of that road. Employees de-
string to continue work must apply
to the new concern.
This move is in line with the Erie's
policy of contracting It's repair work,
The Erie originated this scheme,
which is now being used by an in
creasing number of roads. AS the con-
tractors claim to be outside the juris-
diction of the railroad labor board,
wages Gre reduced, hours heightened
and working standards lowered. The
company that has charge of the Erie's S
shops in this city is enforcing medical
examination on employees, who must
pay for same This policy of the
railroads is being considered by the
railroad labor board, on appeal by the
railroad shop employees department

New York.-In an announcement
covered with molasses and sugar, the
New York board of trade and trans
portation states that it has drafted q
"can't-strike" bill that will protect
the interests of the public, the en-
ployer and the employee"
the employee"
/ 1t will be noticed that the EN-
ploye is third in the list, although
he is most vitally affected because he
will be denied the right to strike and
will be compelled to place his welfare
in the hands of courts.
The bill provides for court of in
dustrial relations that will act in "ag-
gravated and extreme cases"-which
means that if workers insist on retain
4 ing their American right to cease
work, they will be jailed
/ In cases where workers are docile.
matters will be arranged for them by
the state industrial commissioner and
the supreme court justices. The lat
ter will be armed with the injunction,
although this provision seems un
necessary, in view of present tenden-
cies of courts.
The bill is combination of the
Canadian and the Kansas laws.
Thirty days notice must be given the
state industrial commissioner. He
will appoint board of conciliation.
If this method fails the employer or
employees may appeal to the supreme
court for an injunction against the
proposed strike or lockout
The authors of this wondrous plan
make no distinction between a strike
and a lockout They seem to believe
that an employer uses brass band
methods when he applies the lockout,
and that he does not quietly discharge
the "agitators" for plausible reasons
that will be sustained by the court.
The details of the bin have not
been made public. The plan seems
to be to feed it out to the public in
small doses that anti-unon sentiment
may be developed in favor of it
The following tumble Of words, that
sound like Allen of Kansas, indicates
how the hackers of the bill are con
fusing the public:
Its prime purpose is to preserve
public peace, protest public health,
prevent industrial strike, disorder and
waste, to secure the regular and or
derly conduct of the business directly

GAMENT WORKERS
WIN

Chicago.--After a months strike
more than 5000 members of the Inter
national Labor Garment Workers
Union have reached an agreement
with employers.
The 44-hour week is retained, as is
the week work system and former
wage rates. The question of produc-
tion has been referred to joint COM
mittee and an impartial chairman.
The settlement was made possible
when the employers abandoned the
New York war cry: "Down with week
work, the 44-hour week and the wage
standards. Prior to the strike the
employers emphasized the need for
greater production, but the nnionists
nullified this cry by their offer to dis
cuss the matter in sensible manner
when peace was restored.

cussed in conference between him
and President Harding would adopt
the basic idea that the public interest
is paramount so far as basic indus
tries is concerned and also that the
tribunal to deal with industrial dis,
putes should be composed altogether
of public representatives But here
it is proposed to make a radical de-
parture.
Instead of imposing jail sentence,
the Kenyon bill would forbid strike
while the case is before the court but
thereafter only the pressure of public
opinion would be depended on to Sc
cure acquiescence in the decision of
the court. Thus, as with the railroad
labor board, which is really an arb-
tration body, the final sanction is not
Jail sentences but the pressure of pub
lie sentiment, modified through a iu-
dicial agency, The Kenyon bill will
also reject the idea of basing wages
on the profits of the industry in which
they are earned
So far as giving predominance to
the public interest is concerned, the
Kenyon bill will go much farther than
the railroad labor board legislation
went. The railroad board is com
posed of representatives of the rail
roads, representative of labor, with
representatives of the public sitting as
a buffer between the two; in the pub
lie interest the plan now being worked
out calls for tribunal entirely COM
posed of representatives of the public,
on the assumption that it would work
quicker and always start with the pub
lie welfare as the common denomina-
tor. If composed entirely of represen-
tatives of the public it will be fair to
argue that such a federal agency
would have equal regard for the rights
of capital and labor in an industrial
dispute. Unfortunately, in actual
practice this very rarely proves true.
Both Australia and New Zealand la
Dor disputes furnish many examples,
The plan further provides for reg
ional courts, the judges of which
would be appointed by the president;
it will provide that labor or employers
of labor may bring dispute before
the courts or its machinery can be set
in motion and its jurisdiction estah-
lished by a complaint from citizen

PRESIDENTS LABOR BILL
is EXPECTED TO BE INTRODUCED IN CONGRESS IN THE NEXT
WEEK OR TWO--BILL WILL EMBODY
KANSAS PLAN
The New Law Provides For Regional The Which VIII
Be Appointed BY the President

Washington, d. c. Within the
next week or two weeks there will be
submitted to congress with the ap-
proval of the Harding administration
bill for the creation of an industrial
court to adjudicate labor disputes in
basic industries. such as railroads,
coal, iron and steel
The measure of the Presidents in
dorsement of such a measure in his
annual address to congress and prepa-
ration of it has gone on in the face
of the outcry raised by organized la
Dor when the recommendation was
made Labor has cited the failure of
the proposed plan in the countries of
New Zealand and Australia.
The bill, it is now learned, will be
introduced by William S. Kenyon (R) /,
senator from Iowa, chairman of the
committee on education and labor, at
the same time he submits to the SEN
ate his report on the West Virginia
industrial warfare. This report is now
approaching completion.
The report will declare that if there
had been an official body with legal
powers to take cognizance of condi-
tlons and to investigate such condi-
ton as West Virginia presented dur
ing the last two years when lives and
property were intermittently destroy
ed, the trouble would have been pre-
vented. The lack of such an instru-
mentality to place the facts before
the country and the government, the
committee will conclude in it's find
ings, would have beea almost certain
to stop the warfare at its inception.
1t is learned that the plan for an
industrial court will not be altogether
the Kansas court plan, which is ana
thema to organized labor, nor will it
be entirely on the lines of the rail
road labor board, created under the
transportation act, and which was
used to prevent railroad strike a
few months ago.
AS planned now, the bill which Sen
ator Kenyon will submit will embody
the best features of both the Kansas
court and the railroad labor board.
The fact that the Iowa senator, who
is known as a friend of labor and who
is pre-eminent for his fairness on
questions of public policy, is at the
back of the scheme is counted on by
the administration as an influence that
will be used to assist 1t in the fight
that will be waged by organized la
Dor against the obnoxious legislation
that is proposed.
The Kansas court plan has four dis
tinct features:
/, 1t forbids a strike or lockout
and it imposes jail sentence on labor
leaders who organize strike or en-
courage lockout. Labor says this
chains the wage Garner to his JOB and
reduces the toiler to state of chat
tel slavery)
2. 1t declares the public interest In
certain basic industries to be para
mount.
g. 1t creates a tribunal composed
entirely of representatives of the pub
lie to adjudicate disputes. Labor says
these representatives sympathies be-
cause of environment are always ia
vorable to the employers.)
A. 1t specifies that wages shall be
based on the returns of the industries
affected.
The plan that Senator Kenyon is
working out, and which has been dis

who can show an interest in accord
anee with well known rules of iuris-
prudence.
When jurisdiction has once been as
sumed by the court, an order would
be issued forbidding a strike or a
lockout pending an investigation of
the merits of the case, which would
mean hearing for both parties to the
dispute. The law would cover all
necessaries moving in interstate COM
merce, thus coming under the inter
state commerce clause of the consti-
tuition and thereby grounding the new
agency in the fundamental law of the
land.
