CONVENTION CALL FOR ANNUAL MEET OF A. F. OF |. POINTS OUT DANGERS
 LABOR IS FACING AT THE PRESENT

(the Clayton law), that the labor of human being Is not commodity or article of commerce. to arouse our fellow workers and fellow-citizen to the danger which threatens to curb and take away their guaranteed rights and freedom; to meet and help solve the vexatious problems of peace and reconstruction; to emphasize the dominating and determining economic character of our movement and to carry on such political action as the interests of labor will warrant and the trade union movement has di- rected; to withstand and overcome the bitter antagonism now so ram pant to undermine and to destroy the greatest constructive force i'll our re- public, the American labor movement, tor indeed, now, more than ever, These are the times that try mems souls;' these and other great ques- tlons of equal importance, will of necessity, occupy the attention of the Cincinnati convention.
 Therefore, the importance of our movement, the duty of the hour and for the futdre, demand that every or ganization entitled to representation shall send its full quota of delegates to the Cincinnati convention, June I2, 1922.
 The committee on credentials will meet at the headquarters of the American Federation of Labor six days previous to the opening of the convention, and will report immedi- ately upon the opening thereof at Cincinnati, hence secretaries will ob- serve the necessity ot mailing the duplicate credentials of their respec- tive delegates at the earliest possible moment to Washington, D. C.
 Under the American Federation of Labor constitution, resolutions of any character or propositions to change any provision of the constitution can not be introduced after the second days session without unanimous con- sent.
 Under the law no grievance can be considered by the convention which has been decided by previous convention, except upon the recom- mendation of the executive council, nor will any grievance be considered where the parties thereto have not themselves previously held confer ence and attempted to adjust the same.
 Reservations for accommodations may be made by addressing Wm Prout, secretary of the arrangements committee, I3I8 Walnut street, Gin cinnati, Ohio. It is requested that reservations be made through com mittee to avoid Implications Special attention Is directed to the fact that the races at Latonia, Kentucky, across the river from Cincinnati, will open on May 20 and continue during the month of June, and because of that fact the hotels will be crowded and it will be difficult to secure accommodations.
 We therefore advise that you com municate with Secretary Prout at once and request him to make reser- vations for your delegation.
 Headquarters of the executive council will be at the Sinton Hotel.

RANSDELL URGES NEED
 FOR A SHIP SUBSIDY
Louisiana Senator Insists Great Brit ain Will Dominate Ocean Trade
 Trade Without It.

Washington, Mar. 25. If the United States IS to enJ Joy the naval standing provided for in the naval limitation treaty there must be material addi- tions to the American merchant ma rine fleet, Senator Ransdell of Louis lana declared in the Senate today. At present Senator Ransdell pointed out, Great Britain has I46 and the United States A ships of 10000 gross tons and over, the British tonnage totaling l,S7O,OOO, while the total for the American ships IS only about o3S,ooo The Louisiana senator, who IS presi- dent of the National Merchant Marine Association, favors the administration ship subsidy proposition.
 The direct aid provided in the pro posed shipping legislation is common ly referred to as subsidy" said Mr. Ransdell, and without it the encour- agement provided by the indirect aids would not suffice to set our merchant flag again on the ocean as of old 1t must be remembered that for 60 years and more foreign ship owners have been in command of the situa- tion. They hold today the mastery of most of the great routes of ocean commerce. They have their agencies, their representatives their establish mentS of interest and communications all over the world They are deter mined to maintain their mastery to drive off our ocean ships and to dom mate our ocean carrying trade, be- cause they we'll know it's advantages to their own manufacturers and mer- chants. These foreigners are resolved that the United States shall never be- come an independent maritime nation with ships capable of serving its own people in foreign commerce and pos sessed of an adequate naval reserve.
 Whatever our prejudices may be against the word subsidy and the policy it stands for, is there any alter native? 1 know of none The United States is the only maritime country in which the question of sub sidy is ever debated. It is the only maritime country that has ever hesi- tated to employ a subsidy policy com mensurate with it's means and oppor- tunities"
 Senator Ransdell said that of $478,- 100000 paid for freight the United States got only $I7I,ooo,ooo, while the British took $172,ooo, ,ooo and the oth-

Even in the line of foodstuffs the transition from luxury to necessity is very marked The family which 10 years ago considered bread and butter the basis of a weekday meal and boasted of roast beef every Sun day in the year, except Christmas when they had a chicken or a turkey, now insists upon the course dinner, as sometimes referred to, "soup to nuts" for every day in the year. Nor is there any one who would deny but that the American workman, or any workman, so far as that is con cerned IS entitled to his share of the products of nature placed upon the earth for his benefit
 In the countries of Europe and Asia, where civilization has not pro- gressed to the height to which it has attained in the United States, the av craze farmer or workman does not boast of the best of everything. It is still true that in some parts of Europe the peasant raises wheat not for his own table but for the rich, while he himself eats the cheaper black bread.

 If the living wage then means the wage upon which a family may live

In Article Written Espe- cially for Connecticut People He Points Out That Orer Is Worthy of All He Can Get.

The American working man is en- titled to not only a living wage but "a saving wage" whereby he may en- joy some of the comforts his toll produces and be able to look the wrld in the face in his old days independ- ently, in the opinion of Secretary of Labor James J. Davis in an article written especially for Connecticut people at the request of the Man chester News. Secretary Davis is emphatic in his declaration that the worker and his family is just as much if not more entitled to pianos, auto mobiles and such other once called luxuries as is the rich man who lives on the toll of the worker. The en- tire statement is one well worth con- sidering by every worker and is as follows:
 The living wage, although it has never been definitely determined just what that phrase means, has stuck with the American workman for many years. It was most em- phasized during the years of the war when the cost of living rose by leaps and bounds and the demands of the wage earners came more frequent

AMERICAN WORKER ENTITLED
 TO A "SAVING WAGE' AND SOME
 LUXURIES, DECLARES LABOR HEAD

not justify the paying to American workmen of d living wage. We have passed beyond that. The majority of American employers have been paying not the living wage but the saving wage, and 1t is the saving wage that wish to stress.
 There was a time in America, as in the other countries of the world, when agriculture was the occupation of the vast majority of the people. Machinery for the production of farm products was very simple, and the products of the farmer were very little more than necessary for the needs of his own family. American genius, however, changed this order of things, and as more modern meth ods of agriculture were introduced, larger number of men were released for other employment, Genius con- trived various kinds of luxuries, and as machinery and better methods of production placed more and more articles of necessities and luXur1es upon the market, new wealth was ere ated Farmers and the poorer classes of labor had to take up the increased production in other lines, and with the increase in wealth, they were able to do this The result was that what at one time had been luxuries only to be afforded by the rich became ne cessities, and so the so-called stand ard of living has progressed, and so rapidly during the past decade that many articles of compar atively high cost are listed as necessities in the average worknan's home. Among these arc pianos, player-pianos, auto mobiles telephones, electric lights, bathtubs and other sanitary devices.
