BAKERS DENY THEY
 BROKE AGREEMENT
Massachusetts Baking Go. Trying to
 Fix Strike Blame on Men.

Denial that the members of the Bakers Union had ever broken any agreement with the master bakers was made by R. H. Miller, business agent of the union, testifying before Attorney General William c. Me kechnie, sitting as special master at Springfield, in the petition of the Massachusetts Baking company ask ing that certain of it's employees now out on strike be enjoined from inter fering with the plaintiffs business. Attorney Herbert A. Baker of Bos- ton is@attorney for the plaintiff and John F. Gatelee, vice-president of the Central Labor Union, represents the defendant. The Massachusetts Bak- ing Co., not only sells an enormous amount of bread in Connecticut but actually owns and controls many big bakeries in this state.
 Miller in his testimony said that: he and National Organizer Leonard asked to arbitrate and R. H. Dietz agreed to do this. The meeting was arranged and that Fred M. Knight, conciliator for the state board Of 1n- dustrial arbitration, was also present.
 Charles O. Swanson opened the meeting, Miller testified, by saying that the men were wtong and that they had gone back on their agree ments. Miller testified further that Swanson said that the master bakers would have nothing to do with the union. .-.

West Virginia Miners
 To Fight s'Frame-Up''

Charleston, w. Va, July 27.-The State Federation of Labor Is appeal ing to West Virginia trade unionists to aid i'll the fight of miners to escape frame-up in Logan county by anti union coal owners. This county Is controlled by the gun men of coal owners, who have secured indictments against 20 miners and Harold w. Houston, their chief counsel. The prosecution publicly declares that these men will be tried in Logan county and they will not be given a change of venue.

AMERICAN LABOR IS CHEAPEST BECAUSE
 IT PRODUCES MORE
Dr. Julius Klein, Director of Foreign Commerce, Tells Why We
 Can Sell Surplus.

Dr. Julius Klein, director of the bu- reau of foreign and domestic com merce of the United States Depart ment of Labor, went before the Mer- chants and Manufacturers Associa- tion of Baltimore and told these em- ployers a thing or two about the "cheapness" of American labor that opened their eyes.
 American wage workers are not paid high wages when the productiv- ity is considered" Dr. Klein de- cIared. With an equal number of employees an American plant can turn out two to four times the output of a like establishment in Europe, so that the higher pay here IS more than ab- sorbed
 "The expense of our export trade, especially with South America, where 1t has grown $ per cent. during the past year, is a tribute to American labor and the ingenuity of the Yankee manufacturer" said Dr. Klein. Dr. Klein is regarded as one of the foremost economic and trade experts in the United States. Tn his office, in the Department of Commerce, he can put his fingers on the labor and com mercial pulse of the world. For that reason, when he says that American Labor is the cheapest because it pro- duces more and better goods than the labor of any other nation, en- ployers pay marked respect to his words.
 American Labor Efficient.
 "One reason why the labor cost per
 unit produced is relatively lower in ! the United States than anywhere
 else," said Dr. Klein, "is because
 American labor is better directed,
 more intelligent and more efficient
 than anywhere else. We've nothing
 fo be scared about from foreign com
 petition," he added. "A comparison
 of the mass production of American
 labor, trained for a high degree oi
 efficiency, with the mass production
 of labor in European countries is sui fcient answer. It shows why we can
 continue to outsell the British, for
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-07-27

l instance, in the Far East and South America"
 Dr. Klein declared that a study ot
 the coal industry in the United States shows that while the American miner is higher paid than the miner in com petitive countries, his output is al least four times greater than the out
 put of the British miner. The same condition exists, in different degrees, in the labor output in almost every other industry in this country, he contended. Yankee ingenuity in turn ing out better tools and in adopting the latest methods of mining and manufacturing, Dr. Klein explained has done it's part in helping to make the American workman the biggest and best producer in the world. "All this has contributed to main taining the higher wage and living standards of American labor and has added to his efficiency" Dr. Klein later told a representative of Labor. "The American workman should have his Ford car, his victrola ln his home and his higher standard of living be- cause he has earned them and they increase his efficiency as worker be cause they make him happier. This
 country can not afford to lower the
 working standards of it's labor" Importance of Exports.
 Dr. Klein spoke from the position of our export trade as a stabllizer of
 industry and from it's importance to labor. r.
 Eliminate our exports" he warn ed, "and you make for depression and unemployment. A steady flow of ex- ports maintains an equal proportion of employment throughout the year.
 Tn the city of Cleveland, Ohio,s for in- stance, an investigation by the De partment of Commerce showed that lat least 100000 persons were directly and indirectly dependent solely upon
 the export business. l doubt 1t many people in Cleveland realize. that. how ever. But it shows the importance of expanding our export trade" Dr. Klein said that in the textile industry, the maximum output con- tinues for only about six months be- cause during the other six months there is a decided decrease ln the
 amount of goods exported to other countries. If textile manufacturers would export to meet the seasonal demands of certain countries like Australia, he explained, the mills would work to full capacity the year around with resultant benefit to em- p1oyment in the industry.

GarfeId's Solution

To meet this need SO far as it
is able, Garfield will construct
two, new buildings General
Building and q Nurses Home.
The General Building will
contain 78 private rooms, most
Of them to be available at very
moderate rates. This will help
correct the present situation
under which as many as five or
six people are turned away each
day at certain periods in. the
year by Garfield because there
are no rooms for them. 500.
The Nurses Home will accom-
modate 100 nurses. Garffeld's
SO nurses are now housed in six
different places-in the old Adj
ministration Building; in an attic
fitted up as a dormitory :, in two
old residences; in a small rented
house, and in a ward where 20
patients can be cared for when
the nurses move into their new
home.
