ITALY TRAINS

training school for plasterers in

miners, joiners, stone cutters and
other craftsmen are going through
courses of training for emigration
purposes. Any time Gary of the u. S.
steel corporation calls for workmen,
Italy will be able to furnish them ac-
cording to specifications.
OF course Mussolini and Gary did

a strikebreaking machine when Gary

ever, something to think about in
Gary's attempts to force down the
immigration restriction bars of the
United States when the success of
this attempt will mean flood of low
wage earning South European work
ers to the United States. These Ro-
man centurions would serve Emperor
Gary very effectively in his assault
on the American standard of wages.
It is likely that this news of the
training of foreigners to take Amer

United States for training of young
Americans to fill the jobs open to
skilled workmen. Industrial stabil-

PRESIDENT GOMPERS WINS

in $25,OOO SUIT IN WHICH CHEAP LAWYER CHARGED
CONSPIRACY AND LIBEL
Case But Illustrates How Easy h Way Of The Courts To
Workers Leaders Attending Their Duties Says Roberts
Sees Danger In 1t

President Samuel Gompers, of the
American Federation of Labor, has
just won complete victory in a suit
charging conspiracy and libel brought
by P. j. Ryan, Washington lawyer, in
which Ryan asked $25, 900 damages.
The judge directed the jury to re-
turn verdict for President Gompers
after Mr.. Gompers had testified at
length and in detail during a period
of six hours on the witness stand.
A feature of the testimony was the
reading of a list of more than 200
organizations and committees of
which the president of the American
Federation of Labor is member.
The following article relative to the
suit and Mr.. Gompers' victory, by
Mr.. Roberts, is the result of constant

KEEP 1T DARK
Boosted Wage Gains Are
Not Being Analysed

Chicago. of the steel
and meat trusts glorify recent wage
increases by these combines, but the
wage increases are not analyzed.
The public is not told, for instance,
that skilled labor in the packing
plants are paid as low as AZ cents
an hour, and that the muchly -adver-
tised wage increase means but an ad-
ditional cents an hour. Unskilled
labor has been receiving 371a cents
an hour, which is advanced cents
an hour, or to 421A cents. Semi
skilled labor, over 371a cents an hour
and under AZ cents an hour, is increas-
ed 4 cents an hour.
These wages are lauded by syco-
plants who give no thought to how a
worker can rear family on such an
income.
The Butcher Workman, official
newspaper of the Amalgamated Meat
Cutters, says the packers could not
dodge the issue any longer, SO "they
made the shabby concession to return
tiny part of former wage cuts.
"It was nicknamed wage increases,
but actually it was nothing more
than the return of small fraction of
several wage cuts within less than
two years." says the labor journal.
'The packers returned but a frac-
tion of what should have been paid
to their employees long ago. The COM
pany 'union,' the biggest counterfeit
in industry, played second fiddle. 1t
functioned as expected. The picked
management representatives voiced
the opinion of their masters. They
were not on the ground to do other
wise. The employees representatives
! did not count Had they not agreed
with the management representatives,
the packers, the highest court of ap-
peal, would have upheld the manage
ment lieutenants, the minnikins whose
voice and vote is controlled by the
packers"

the other defendants were defending
themselves in court they were pre-
vented from performing their official
duties in the cause of labor.
Patrick j Ryan claimed that Presi-
dent Gompers, President William d.
Clark of Plate Printers Union No. 2,
James A. Early, member of the
executive committee of Plate Print
ers' Union No. 2, and Chris Lehmkuhl
member of that union, had con-
spired to injure him because he had
criticised President Gompers. There
was no direct evidence of the con-
spiracy. The jurymen were told
when examined that all the evidence
would be circumstantial.
1t appears that the Plate Printers
Union directed the officials to request
the aid of President Gompers to Sc
cure an increase in wages for the
employees in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing. This meeting was held
September Is, 1920, after President
Gompers had agreed to give what
ever aid was possible he incidentally
spoke of an interview with Patrick
J. Ryan, member of the Plate Print
ers' Union, published in Washing
ton paper condemning President
Gompers' stand in the political cam
paign and also his attitude toward
the League of Nations.
Mr.. Gompers' secretary who hap
pened to be sitting near took down
this statement unbeknown to Mr.,
Gompers. President Clark secured a
COPY of the statement, called meet
ing of the advisory board of the
Plate Printers Union and read it to
| that board. The advisory board rec
commended that a special meeting be
called to consider the action of Ryan
This meeting was held September 2C
and directed the executive committee
to issue statement that Ryan did
not speak for Plate Printers Union
No. 2 when he made such malicious
attack on President Gompers.
On the afternoon of October ID
1920, the four defendants were serv.
ed with notice of $4,000 damage
suit filed by Ryan. The same night
the Plate Printers Union suspended
Ryan for an indefinite period. Ryar

San Francisco.-Compete seamen
have been replaced by European reds
and American [. w. WIS, "who pride
themselves upon their inability to do
seamen's duty" says Andrew Furu-
seth, president of the international
Seamen's Union, in letter to Presi-
i dent Harding. The letter is written
the trade unionist says, because of
the presidents recent speech in New
York on the necessity for merchant
marine.
The president said that if the ship
ping board can not sell the govern
ment's vessels 1--WE will operate and
operate aggressively, until congress
| inhibits."
"This can not be done with the pres
ent system of dealing with seamen or
in manning vessels" said President
Furuseth.
"The best equipped printing office
with inefficient personnel can not
compete with a less equipped office
which has more efficient personnel.
"The same applies at sea. The YES
sells must have a sufficient crew in
skill and numbers to keep the vessel
in order. Such men are not at sea in
sufficient numbers at this time. We
had the nucleus of such men two years
ago, but they have mostly left the sea
and those remaining are leaving and
going into other work. 1t is not so
much the question of wages (there
will be some years before the seamen
can get living wages). 1t is the kind
of men we are compelled to sail with
or else quit sailing.
"a very large number of the men
now sailing are thieves, smugglers
and users of narcotics, dirty and
crummy in person, dirty and revolu-
tionary in speech.
"A very large number have obtain
ed certificates as able seamen by per
jury. Decent Americans and decent
| foreigners have left and are leaving.
Skill is passing away, and with il
goes safety at sea and safety to the
nation.

these charges beyond ordering real
Investigation We believe that such
investigation will disclose a condition
which ought not to be tolerated, and
which can not last without destroying
all possibility of forming a personnel
that can compete in peace and defend

'The element described can be
driven from the sea; but only by per-
mitting honest cooperation between
the shipping board, the ship owners
and the real seamen.
