Trade Union "Amalgamators' Are

'They are hostile to freedom of
speech, freedom of press and freedom
of assembly.
"They advocate the destruction, the
abrogation of the entire bill of rights
upon which modern freedom is based
"They repudiate democracy and
proclaim without shame or hesitation
their desire for the establishment of
dictatorship over the wage earners.
What is contemplated is not mere
ly the amalgamation of various or
ganizations which now function sep
aratery.
Instead, the program is one for
complete and thorough disastrous rev.

SCHEME
OF Ship Board Ruled Un.
lawful

Washington. = Attorney General
Daugherty rules that the u S. ship
ping boards scheme to transfer the
title of the merchant ships owned by
the United States government to pri-
vate corporations organized under
state charters is illegal. The scheme
was devised to avoid government oper-
alton of the fleet,
After the overwhelming defeat of
the ship subsidy scheme in the 1922
elections and later by the United
States senate, Albert D. Lasker, then
chairman of the board and father of
the ship subsidy steal, and Edward p.
Farley, present chairman, conceived
the plan of organizing a number of
privat corporations, with the ship
ping board holding a portion of the
stock, to which the title and operating
rights now held by the board would
be transferred 1t is this Lasker-Far
ley plan that .Daugherty's decision
nullifies.
The shipping board has complete
authority to operate the fleet until it
can be disposed of, but regards gov
ernment operation as violating certain
vague traditional principles of Amer
lean institutions in general and in
opposition to the profits of the pri-
vate shipping interests.

Portland, Ore.-Present-da propa-
gandists for trade union "amalgama-
ton" are communist revolutionists in
disguise, declares the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor in its report to the federations
annual convention in session in Port
land.
The council distinguishes between
the natural amalgamation" of trade
unions in their normal growth and the
amalgamation propaganda which has
become noticeable during the past
year.
The former is in line with the pol
icy of the trade union movement and
is supported by the American FEEDER
alton of Labor.
The latter is frankly revolutionary
and has for its ultimate purpose not
only the destruction Of the trade union
movement but the eventual over
| throw of the democratic government
of the United States"
propaganda in the United States" f"
the council points out, SIS carried on
| in accord with the tenets of the Red
international, an organization which is
completely under the domination and
| dictation of the Russian communist
oligarchy.
"The catchword of the campaign in
the United States has been 'amalga-
| nation
''In accordance with the program of
| the Russian communist leaders, an
elaborate program for the alleged
| 'amalgamation' of various interna-
| tional unions has been developed and
secret or semi-secret organizations
have been formed with in the interna-
tional unions for the carrying out of
that program.

called program of 'amalgamation' are
hostile to every guarantee of freedom

WORKERS DOLLAR
Shrinks to 65 Cents in Ruy-
ing Power Today
Over 1913
Trade Unionism Only Pro
lection Against Pirates
of Industry and
Commerce
( r

Washington Wages are of two
kinds. Nominal wages and real
wages.
Nominal wages consist of the num-
Der OF dollars in the pay envelope.
Real wages consist of the purchas-
ing power of the dollars expressed in
food, clothing, shelter, and the other
necessaries and conveniences of life.
Under our business system prices
are fixed by the fiat of manufacturers
and merchants.
When the price of coal "goes up" it
is the arbitrary decree of the coal
operators and coal dealers who put it
up by refusing to sell for lower
price. The same principle applies alb
solutely to the activities of those who
own other commodities.
The September issue of the Monthly
Review of the United States bureau of
labor statistics makes public the rea-
suits of an interesting study of the
work of the price boosters in recent
years
According to this report these bust
ness buccaneers have boosted the
price of all commodities which the
workers are compelled to buy for the
support of their families to such an
extent that the workers dollar in
June, 1923, had purchasing power
of but 65 cents, as compared with the
workers dollar in 1913.
Putting it still another way. the
price boosters have lowered the pur-
chasing power of the workers dollar
35 per cent since 1913.
Price boosting is one of the most
menacing powers the employers have.
Effective trade unionism is indeed
labor's one protection against the
pirates of industry and commerce.
1t gives the workers an instrument
by which they may periodically adjust
wages upward to meet, and more than
meet, the price boosting of those who
own the necessaries of life.

lay in its composition. Its adher-
ents, united on the moral tenets of
Catholicism and the right of-sectarian
schools, were greatly divided on social
questions. ranging in their attitude to-
ward property all the way from Com.
munism TO old-fashioned aristocracy.
In some districts Catholics created
cooperative societies and rivaled with
the Socialists in labor agitation in
favor of the masses; in other districts
they. allied themselves with the re-
dictionaries.
The characteristic of the party dep
uties was their adherence to every
successive ministry, in exchange for
which they were always given three
or four posts in the cabinet. Owing
partly to its Vatican connection the
party constantly sought to avoid com.
hitting itself. If it had united with
the Socialists and Democrats it could
have prevented the Fascist rcvolu-
ton. but it hesitated until too. late.
