AVERT CLOTHING
STRIKE

Observation-Disclosures ladies' gar.
ment workers and their employers
have renewed an agreement, and the
danger of strike which would in
volve more than 5000 employees, has
passed.
Under the old agreement an en-
gineer, paid jointly by the workers and
employers, fixed production standards
The new agreement provides that
standards shall be set by two engin-
eers, one to be paid by the union and
the other by the manufacturers. If
the engineers fail to agree, they are
authorized to call in an arbiter.
Wages and other points in dispute
are left to the impartial board of ref
erees, which is maintained at the joint
expense of both parties.
Under the agreement the referees
will act on IL per cent wage increase
demanded by the union, work out a
plan for the control of outside con-
tract shops to prevent farming out of
work, plan to care for employment
during the peak period and the ques~
tion of wage scales for men and wo-
men, the union demanding that they
be equalized.

LAKE SAILORS ON STRIKE
Men Go Out In Effort to Enforce
Eioht.Hour Day--May Cause
Further Coal Shortage.

Efforts to avert the seamen's strike
on the 420 lake boats controlled by the
Lake Carriers association failed when
officials of the association refused to
concede the eight-hour workday for
the sailors. At present the men work
twelve-hour shifts.
The strike affected approximately
5000 sailors who are employed on the
ore boats as wheelsmen, lookouts,
boatswains and ordinary seamen. A
coal shortage in the Northwest is also
threatened as result Of the walk
out.
In three wage cuts the pay OF sea-
men was reduced from $130 a month
In May, 1920 to $50 a month In May.
1922. The last wage decrease was
followed by strike vote which was
unanimously In favor Of strike
Through the Intervention Of Secretary
of Labor Davis the strike was avert
ed and the association granted the
men $40 month increase.

And Union Smashing Ex-

Workers Suggest Probing
of Strike Costs

Washington.-Rai are includ
ing strikebreaking and union-smash
ing expenses in the cost of operation
said William H. Johnston, president
of the International Association Of
| Machinists, in petition to the in
terstate commerce commission.
The commission is asked to investi
gate the methods of railroads and tc
separate 'extravagant and unneces.
sary" expenditures from operating
costs since July /. Unless this is
done an unfair statistical handicap will
be imposed on the commission, rail
road employees and shippers, which
will react to their disadvantage in fu-
ture wage and rate adjus tments, said
Mr. Johnston.
ut can be easily demonstrated that
the stupid labor policy of the execu-
tives has been squandering the Amer
lean peoples money at rate exceed
ing $2,000,000 daily, as far as it sim
ply affects railroad earnings. When
it is once realized what this anti
union policy of the railroads has cost
the people of the country as whole
the amount will prove staggering"
Depletion of good order equipment
car shortage, the serious declines
in earnings and the deferred mainte-
nance of equipment are all traceable

road executives, the petition declares
BY their continued violation of the
transportation act in respect to out
side contracting and of the railroad
labor boards orders in respect tc
wages and working rules prior to July

ployes to state of justified indig-
nation By their studied refusals to
cooperate with the legitimate organi-
cations of shop craft workers, as con-
templated in the transportation act

that a campaign was being waged to
eliminate collective bargaining from
the shops. BY the ruthless enforce
ment of wage cuts at the very mo-
ment when the tide of wage changes
had set strongly toward increases
they forced the men to strike"
President Johnston said that the
refusal of hard-boiled managers OF
railroads to accept the presidents
terms of settlement last summer
changed the strike on these roads to
lockout.
"They double-crossed the president
and repudiated his personal represent
ative, Secretary Hoover, when he out

such course, but refuses to force
-nions to amalgamate. Because the
A. F. of L. itself is a federation of
unions, these various units retain for
themselves the power to say whether
they shall unite with other unions.
The A. F. of L. is powerless to force
this amalgamation, even were force
desirable or effective, he said.
Secretary Morrison showed that
successful amalgamation has only
come through a thorough understand
ing of the subject by the membership
of these unions, and that it is i'm
possible to effect workable and har-
monious combinations by force and
arbitrary edicts of compare lively
few representative of the unions in
volved.
While the A. F. of L. is always will
ing to lend its moral support to these
amalgamations and urged such pro-
cedure, said Secretary Morrison, the
matter is in the hands of the national
and international unions.
