.H|NDUS: :SEAMEN
DESERTED SHIP:

A Brush court of inquiry has
censured and disciplined officers of
the Pacific g. Orient liner, Egypt,
that foundered off the coast of
France last May. after collision with
the French steamer Seine during a.
dense fog. Sixteen passengers and
II of the ships crew were drowned.
The Egypt did not sink for 20 min
utes after she was rammed. This
permitted of ample time to man the
life boats and swing them clear Of
the ship, If they were manned by
competent seamen. Her Lascar crew,
however, deserted like rats.
The court Of inquiry condemned
the captain, and sus-- ended his GER
tificate for six months. The chief
officer was also censured. These Of
ficials are charged with failing to
exercise their authority over the
Lascars, and with not making them
efficient in collision and boat drill.
The evidence showed that state
of hopeless confusion existed on the
doomed ship Immediately following
the collision, with the Lascars adding
to the panic, and disregarding the
pleas of their officers to save the
women and children. The officers
were not responsible for the, crew
them, but the court marred
their records by the censures.

AGAIN DISCUSS
WoMEN'S WAGE

The California industrial welfare
commission is again considering a
minimum wage for working women
and minors. Several months ago the
commission voted to reduce the
wages of working women from SIG
week to SIS. Mrs. Kate P. Edison.
the one woman on the commission,
voted with the majority. If she voted
with the labor member the proposal
would be defeated.
& Organized labor was especially en-
ragged at Mrs. Edson's vote because
she has been drawing from the state
treasury on an average $50 a week
for many months. Previous to her
vote she had been in the habit Of
attending annual conventions of the
state federation of labor and making
"up1ift" talks.
The wage-reduction vote Of the
commission was successfully block
ed by the state federation Of labor
and the San Francisco labor council,
whose attorneys convinced the court
that the commissions action was IL
legal because sufficient notice had
not been given Of the hearings. This
decision forced the commission to
start all over again, and the Incl
dent has shown to the working wo-
men of California the relative mer-
its of wages by. law and wages
through trade union effort.

RESCUE WORKERS
FROM POWER OF
union 'DESP0TS:
Railroad President to Save
Labor From Union Leaders.

New York, Oct. 12.-Fresh from
dividing the railway executives, as
sociation because of his opposition
to a settlement with the railroad
shop men, President Loree of the
Delaware & Hudson Railroad now
proposes that labor be rescued from
union "despotism." He enfolded his
plan in a speech before a section of
the American bankers association.
The railroad executive took the
usual position of antis that there is
no difference between a trade union
and a group Of business men who
lose their identity in a corporation.
which is formed for the express pur-
pose Of limiting the liabilities of
each member of the corporation to
the amount of money he invests.
Mr.. ~Loree said labor was attack
ing the "police power of the state"
because it opposed the shop mems
injunction. He also referred to the
injunction as "the law of the land"
The speaker declared that the
rescue of labor from an organiza-
tiOn that has become its tyrant' can
only be accomplished from the out
side. Mr.. Loree did not indicate who
is best equipped to lead this fight,
and his name was not suggested be-
cause he has lost few tail feathers
himself through differences with fell
low rail executives.
The bankers were urged to devote
time and thought to ways and means
to help the laborer. There was no
suggestion that the laborer be urged
to help himself through joint action.
The speech was of the usual citi-
zens' alliance variety that is invari-
ably delivered at the small town
banquet Of prominent citizens.
Prior to the speech, trade union
lists classed President Loree as an
able opponent.

KANSAS FARMERS
CAN'T PAY: TAXES
Aliens Law and Favoritism to
Railroads Loss 10 State.

While Governor Allen is picturing
Kansas as the, modern Garden Of
Eden, because Of his "can't-strike"
legislation. the delinquent tax list Of
one county contains more than 1000
descriptions of lands advertised for
sale. Some Of the best farms and
homes in the county are included.
The riotous squandering of the
peoples money under the Allen re-
gime has caused committee to in
vestigate conditions in that county.
The report says:
I'VE find the valuation of corpor-
alton properties, including the rail-
roads of the state, were reduced for
taxation purposes during the last
year $300,000,000 and an increase
placed on the farms and the homes
during the past two years of more
than 20 per cent" 49,.

mean LIBEL ON
train STRIKERS
IS AGAIN USED
Daugherty Uses Needle Incl
dent TO Boost Lost Cause.

Washington, Oct. 12.-The public
press quotes Attorney General
Daugherty that "prosecution of f'strik-
ers at Needles, Ariz., where trains
were left on the desert with suffer-
ing passengers, is continuing rapidly.
The attorney general is about the
only one who is now repeating the
libel that strikers abandoned their
trains' on the desert.
Needles is not in Arizona, but in
San Bernardino county, California.
It is a prosperous town of nearly
1000 population. Machine shops OF
the Santa Fe railroad are located
there, as is one of a chain of rail-
road hotels that is we'll known in
the far west. The passenger trains
alleged to be left on the desert were
left in Needles.
The desert story, which the at
torney general revamps, and which
was so carelessly used by the presi-
dent in his special message to con-
gress, has been repudiated by the
Santa Fe railroad.
In a letter to all Santa Fe ticket
agents on Aug. FL last, E. H. Dallas,
district passenger agent, called on
the ticket agents to give as much
publicity as possible to a denial of
the desert" story, which seems to
have served the purpose Of arousfng
public opinion against the shop men,
and could therefore be recalled, as
it was hurting business. The railroad
official said, in part:
I'm view of the neswpaper reports
circulated regarding suffering of
passengers at points on the desert,
where trains were stalled, wish to
say, while this is considered good
newspaper COPY in the main such
conditions originated in the fertile
minds Of space writer's for the daily
press. The 1000 inhabitants Of Nee
dies, CAL. apparently enjoy the cli-
mate. Admittedly it is hot in the
summer months but not sufficient
to cause anything more than tenn
porary inconvenience and that only
to persons unaccustomed to hot wea-
ther."
On September 2S last the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger editorially re-
pudiated the story. 81
The attorney generals statement
is especially vicious, because hf was
called upon during the shop mems
injunction proceedings to make
good" the charge that strikers left
trains on the desert.
The labor world., 1922-10-14

The strike Is not settled on the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern,
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste.
Marie, and other roads running into
Duluth.
The tag day is. for the: purpose of
securing funds for the relief of the
families Of the men who have been
or strike since July 1, and will be
used to provide only the necessities
of life, including fuel, food and
clothing. None of the funds what
soever will be used in any manner
for the purpose Of conducting the
strike.
The tag day collections will be
made under the auspices of the Fed
Grated Trades assembly and the
striking unions. A committee con-
sisting of Up. H. Demore, John A.
Barron, Charles Olson, w. c. Emer-
son, J. P. Jensen, A. A. Siegler and
Joel Lichten will have charge Of the
matter.
The committee, through The La
Dor World, appeals to the women Of
the workers to serve as tag day COL
lectors. Volunteers are asked for. All
willing to serve should telephone at
once to Joel Lichten, Melrose .4O79.
Instructions will then be given as to
where collectors shall report.
Every worker in the city is urged
to assist the striking shopmen to
the full extent of his ability. Every
friend of the workers is requested
to help.
Remember this, and do not permit
it to be forgotten. The shopmen
stemmed the tide of wage reductions
in American Industries. The fight
they put up against a reduction in
wages, the second reduction handed
to them in 13 months; has prevented

Harking back to the beginning we

Attorneys for the railroad shop

week holding conferences with trade
unionists for the purpose of arrang-
ing to appeal the administrations

other wage slashing industries from
forcing reductions in wages on their
employees.
Since the shopmen's strike the
steel workers have had their wages
increased 20 per cent. Trainmen and
conductors on all western roads have
signed up new schedules carrying
with them the old rate Of wages,
when before July 1, a cut was con-
templated. Employees in other indus.
tries have likewise been let alone.
They have been saved reductions in
wages.
We have heard nightly little from
the citizens alliances and other an
ti-union, wage cutting organizations
since the shopmen began their gal
liant fight to uphold American stand
ards in the railroad shops of the
country.
While they were striking other
workers were employed. They were
fighting the battles of all labor. The
shopmen's strike was the Gettysburg
in this war on wages. They have
saved other workers the cost and
sacrifices of strikes to resist cuts in
wages.
The shopmen and their families
made all the sacrifice, not only for
themselves, but for all labor. You
were working while they were strik-
ing.
Now their families are in need.
Their children require shoes and
clothing. Some are hungry. What are
you going to do to help them, since
their daddies fought so hard to help
you?
