SANITY REPLACES
FORCE

Jackson, Miss.-Jailing labor agents
to stop the migration Of negroes
seems to have been discarded in this
section by business men and planta-
tion owners. They have appointed
committee composed of eight white
men and five negroes to study the
critical labor situation because of ne
gro migration.
J. M. Williamson, negro professor
of Grenada, and member of the COM
mittee, told his colleagues that the
negro has gone north for two reasons
one is they have lost confidence in
the white man and the other is the vio-
lation Of their civic rights.
''The masses of the negro race want
to stay here, but they are not going
to do it under present conditions" he
said.
w. W. Stone, former state treasurer
and large plantation owner, said:
81 have lived in the delta for 60
years. I have lived among and ham
died negroes and the reason why the
negro is leaving Mississippi is be-
cause some white men are swindling
them. | know lots of planters who
have become rich in this way. They
think they are fooling the negro, but
they are not"

AS FIELD SECRETARY FOR
WORKERS. EDUCATION BUREAU

courage workers to the fullest meas
ure of responsibility in the initiative
and democratic management Of their
efforts at self education. That work
ers' education should spring from the
workers as their voluntary express
sion and rest upon them as their coll
lective responsibility is the wisdom
of education and the wise policy of
the trade union movement.
In addition the committee gave
consideration to the development of
weekend and summer schools for
workers, and authorized its sub-com-
mittee to prepare programs for all
workers groups that intend establish
ing such weekend and summer
schools. One of the first of these
workers summer schools to be estab-
lished west of the Mississippi will be
held from July 1st to 9Th in Estes
Park, Colorado, under the auspices
of the Denver Labor College. A
training school for teachers of work
ers' classes was also favorably acted
upon.

OF Maintenance of Way Employees and
Railway Shop Laborers, to succeed
Albert Phillips.
Management Group-Horace Baker.
Chicago, reappointed.
Public Group-R M. Barton, Ten
nessee, reappointed.
When the six candidates for an
pointment to fill the vacancy or the
labor group were presented to the
president several weeks before expira-
tion af terms, the name of Albert
Phillips, a member of transportation
organizations group No. /, headed
the list for reappointment The law
requires that six names shall be
placed IN nomination. The name of
E. F. Cradle did not appear in the
list He had previously been almost
unanimously defeated for reelection
as president of the Brotherhood of
Maintenance of Way Employees. He
had refused to sanction a strike last
summer voted by approximately 81
per cent of the membership of his or
ganization. He had accepted the
promise of Chairman Hooper and Nc
Menimen that if he held up issuance
of the strike sanction and refused
to let his members go out with the
shopmen, a reconsideration of the
wage cut to waymen would be grant
ed and satisfactory readjustment
made. After long delay rehear-
ing was had and few of the track
men in the south were increased from
23 to 25 cents an hour.
While the white house refuses to
make public the Endorsements given
Cradle in order to have him come in
through the "cellar door" as a noini-
nee for appointment, it is known that
at request of the administration his
name was placed in nomination by
the heads of two trump" organiza-
tions classified in group 4, this manip-
ulation probably being conducted in
the offices of the railroad labor board
in Chicago.
Before Cradle was nominated the
following statement was given out at
headquarters of the United Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way EN-
ployes and Railway Shop Laborers at
Detroit by F. Finnson, editor and
manager of the brotherhood's official
journal.
"On behalf of the United Brother
hood of Maintenance of Way EN-
ployes and Railway Shop Laborers,
we wish to state that Mr.. Cradle has
never been recommended for the labor
board by his own organization, nor
has he been recommended by any of
the bona fide railroad organizations of
the country"

cordance with the agreement, the

EMPLOYE REPRESENTATIVES
TO RAILROAD LABOR BOARD APPOINTED BY PRESIDENT
HARDING NOT SATISFACTORY TO WORkERS-FOR
SECOND TIME UNIONS ARE IGNORED
Under Methods Adopted By Nations Chief The New Members
Appendage To The Management Group

freight handlers, station employees,
signalmen, oilers, stationary engin-
eers, baggage and express men, have
been without a representative since
James. j. Forester was retired by
decree of President Harding in 1921,
when McMenimen was appointed.
Neither Cradle nor McMenimen are
responsible to the employees or the
public as members of the board. They
are personal selections of the presi-
dent. Under the methods adopted by
the president they become an append
age to the management group, as is
the public group with the present per-
sonnel.
Thus the regular railroad labor
organizations with more than 92 per
cent of the employees have only one
bona fide representative on the board
in the person of A. o. Wharton.
After waiting nearly a month fol-
lowing expiration April Is of the
terms of three members of the board,
President Harding on last Friday,
May IL, announced the following re-
cess appointments, yet to be confirmed
by the senate:

New York City.-Plans are per-
fected by the executive committee of
the workers educational bureau of
America to carry into effect recon-
mendations of the third national con-
vention held here last April.
Among the many important deci-
sions which were made was the desig-
nation of a field secretary of the bu-
reau to carry the message of work
ers' education to the workers in diff
ferent parts of this country and assist
in establishing workers educational
enterprises in the various industrial
centers. For the position of field
secretary the executive committee
unanimously selected Arthur Holder,
member of the Machinists' Union,
author of the vocational and rehabili-
tation education law which was enact
ed by congress and for four years
member of the federal board of voca-
tional education as representative of
labor. In the opinion of the commit
tee, Mr.. Holder combined a unique
background in the field of labor, edu-
cation and of public service.
Another matter of importance to
come before the committee was the
question of the definition of work
ers' educational enterprises. To cor
rect certain misstatements which ap-
peared in the daily press after the last
convention, and to set forth their
opinion in the matter, the executive
committee gave full consideration to
the question and to the convention
resolution. The committee desires to
make Enthusiastically clear that the
workers education bureau of Amer
lea is not antagonistic or in opposi-
ton to any American college or uni
versity nor to any instructors in our
universities. On the contrary it has
had the most cordial cooperation of
some of the most distinguished teach
ers in our colleges in the promotion
of workers education and will con-
tinue to seek the cooperation of the
ablest university teachers in the de-
velopment of this movement. The
bureau welcomes every generous eff
fort at the extension of higher edu-
cation and believes profoundly that
higher education is an indispensable
aspect of democratic citizenship and,
should be universal and lifelong.
The committee is likewise of the
opinion that as the workers educa-
ton movement represents the delib-
crate effort on the part of the labor
movement and working people gen
orally to serve the educational aspi-
rations of workers that it should en-

ANTI-UNION SHOP
Now Operated By Big Ward
Baking Trust

Chicago.-The Ward Baking Com
pany, with branches in several cities,
has refused to renew an agreement
with organized bakery workers, and
is attempting to operate on the anti
union basis.
This corporation is the largest bread
trust in America.
During the anti-union wave of 1921
the Ward Company enforced Is per
cent wage reduction on it's bakery
workers, although it's financial report
showed there was no excuse for such
action.
In the spring of 1922 the company
attempted to destroy the eight-hour
day and reduce wages another 10 per
cent. That year the company paid its
usual per cent dividend, with an ad-
ditional per cent cash dividend and
a 20 per cent stock dividend. It's
profits that year were $2,491 ,129, or
22.6 per cent of its capitalization.
which includes material.
In view of this prosperity, the
bakery workers recently requested
that the 1921 wage reduction be
withdrawn. The company's reply was
an anti-union declaration it will
not deal collectively with bakery
workers; that these employees must
henceforth meet the management as
individuals.
The fight against this anti-unior
policy is being directed by the Bak
cry and Confectionery Workers
Union of America, an organization
that in 40 years has lifted the beker.

HE'S A WIZARD
Employers Secretary Knows
Strike Losses to a Cent

Baltimore.-It means nothing to
A. S. Goldsborough, secretary of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, that the United States bu-
reau of labor statistics can find no
reliable system of computing strike
losses. Mr.. Goldsborough has it all
figured out.
"Does labor know what strikes did
to them in Maryland last year?" asks
this office manager.
No, labor does not. Well, to be ex-
act, labor lost 1,162, 1874 days, he AYERS.
Lost wages totaled $685. ,744 and the
aggregate loss to Maryland industry
was nearly $11,000,000.
And then, to clinch his definite fig
ures, he says: at is rumored that
some misguided leaders are advising
labor to overload it's demands"
The United States bureau of labor
statistics says it is impossible to COM
pile strike figures, because strikes in
seasonal industries are not losses;
neither are strikes in Individual
plants, whose production and market
filters through other sources. 1t also
shows that employers and employed
rarely agree on the number Of workers
involved in a strike. Workers who are
listed as strikers are often found at
other employments of a temporary
nature after the first few days of a
strike.

In the appointment of E. F. Cradle
as labor group member of the rail
road labor board to succeed Albert
Phillips, whose term expired April Is,
President Harding has for the second
time violated the spirit if not the
terms governing such appointments
provided by the transportation act OF
1920 and the regulations prescribed
by the interstate commerce commits
sion. Two years ago the president
appointed w. L. McMenimen as a la
Dor group member under similar ques-
tionable circumstances.
Neither Cradle nor McMenimen had
received nominations or approval for
appointment from the labor organiza-
tion groups to which they respectively
belong. Their names were not includ-
ed among the six nominees presented
to the president as called for under
the law.
In each instance, no doubt at sug-
gestion of the administrations, nomi-
nations were obtained from trump"
organizations classified in group a,
made up in the main of miscellaneous
odd lots and supervisory officials un-
recognized and unqualified with either
the American Federation of Labor or
the standard railroad brotherhoods.
Group was created at the instiga-
tion of the railway executives as an
afterthought 1t was brought into be-
ing by an order of the interstate COM
merce commission more than month
after the original board had been Gre
ated and it's personnel named by Pres
ident Wilson. 1t represents less than
8 per cent of the total number of rail-
road employees. Nevertheless, it is now
credited with two of the three mem
bers of the labor group of the board.
However, neither Cradle nor McMen-
lIuGiI are u1SHlUclS VI OISdHlLctiOIio
classified in group a. Thus the presi-
dents action is about as fair as the
Atterbury plan of "employe represen-
tation."
A. o. Wharton is the lone labor
group member who has been properly
appointed in accordance with the
recommendation of railroad employees.
He represents group 2, composed OF
shop crafts.

gine and yard service brotherhoods, is

their dangerous condition.
Engines standing on sidetracks

Because of the long delays angry
passengers were in q mood to listen
to the story of railroad shop men,
