THE TEXT In THE
TEXTILE STRIKE

BY International Labor News Service.
Lawrence, Mass.-The unreason-
ahleness of the textile operators in
their wage cutting policies, against
which the employees went on strike
in the New England field in 1922,
needs no proof aside from the state
ments of earnings from the textile
mills themselves.
After six months of shutdown in
the plants of the Pacific mills at Do
yer, New Hampshire, and Lawrence,
Mass, the company's net earnings
for the year ending December 80,
1922, were $1,354,594. 1t also declar-
ed stock dividend of $20,000,000,
doubling its outstanding common
stock.
Nothing but thorough organization
saved the workmen in the textile in
dustry of New England from having
their wages cut so far below the level
of decent existence that their spirit
would have been forever killed. 1t is
this kind of organization, also, that
is keeping out of the United States
the revolutions that have made Rus
sia what it now is.

OUT-OF. WORK FACTS
SHOWN BY CENSUS

Washington. - Involuntary unem-
ployment is the lot of hundreds of
thousands of workers in the United
States, according to reports of the
business census taken in 1921, now
being published by the census bureau.
Practically every industry has its
"slack" season, the period when en-
ployers lay off many workers.
By these layoffs the asbestos pro-
ducts manufacturers closed the fac
tory doors to 20 per cent of the as
bestos workers in 1921.
The manufacturers of awnings,
tents and sails did the same to 49
per cent of the workers in this in
dustry.
The artificial stone manufacturers
handed out similar dividends to %
per cent of the artificial stone work
ers.
Twenty per cent of the cleansing
and polishing preparation workers
were unemployed in the dull season.
The artificial flower manufacturers
told 33 per cent of their workers to
get along as best they could without
work and wages for considerable
period.
The blackings, stains and dressings
manufacturers turned out 38 per cent
of their workers to live any old way
until business picked up.

WHO ARE THE LABORERS?

II. G. Wells has broadened the def
milton of the word "labor" Speaking
to the students of Glasgow Univer-
sity as candidate for the lord rector
ship on labor" ticket, the author
said:
"By labor we mean all creative
effort, from the hewing miner in the
coal seam up through the ill-paid,
incessant labor of the village doctor
and normal schoolmaster and school
mistress, to the unsparing toll Of the
investigator in the research labora-
tory and the organizing of the indus
trial manager by which our civiliza-
ton is maintained and carried on"
Mr.. Wells might have gone step
further and added musicians, paint
ers, sculptors, writer's and other art
lists to the ranks of laborers. For
these, too, work creatively. They
add something to life, to the enjoy
ment of life, as the laborer in more
tangible material adds to its comforts
or convenience
The distinction between men as to
whether or no they work with their
hands has confused the world for
thousands of years. Manual labor has
seemed to be something apart from
mental or artistic labor. The question
to ask, when considering work, is:
Does it expand life? Does it help
people, either in a practical way, or
by giving them thoughts and emo
tions which lift them above them
selves? Bear in mind that there are
two necessities-the necessity of the
outer man for clothing, food, trans
portation and the like, and the neces
sity of the inner for intellectual and
moral aid in adjusting himself to the
universe. We are then ready to ask
the supreme question: Is this work
necessary?
Once that question is asked all over

STEEL DOLLARS !.

BY international Labor News Service
Washington, D. C-The increase in
wages to workmen in the steel indus
try which u S. Steel and others were
forced to make because the immigra-
ton law prevented the influx of a
swarm of cheap labor from Europe
and Asia has not affected the earn
ing power of the U. S. steel corpora
ton. Its report for the fourth quar-
ter of 1922 shows net earnings of $27,-
552,392 after operating expenses and
taxes.
u. S. Steel has maintained regular
dividends throughout the depression
following the war by drawing from
it's enormous surplus.
The earnings for the last quarter
show profits amount to twice the reg
ular dividend requirements. Finan-
cial writer's look upon this news as
an omen of prosperity for the country
during 1923.

DURAND FOR PRESIDENT


With the announcement that Homer
Durand, defeated candidate for the
nomination for governor on the re-
publican ticket at the last primary,
would be a candidate for the republi-
can nomination for the presidency on
the issue of light wines and beer,
things will start to liven up shortly.
And, one can't tell just what may
come from an incident of this kind.
1t is known that the vets are begin
ming to profit from watching the
methods of the drys in gaining their
point. so far as their own interests
are concerned. 1t is well known that
the drys call for no other qualification
from candidate so long as he is
dry" That is all they ask for. From
the drift of things many vets are com
ing to the same thought, let candi
date be what he will so far as party i:
concerned, or let him lack in qualifi
cation in all other ways, so long al
he favors light wines and beer he il
all o. K 1t is poor rule that won
work two ways. So for that reasol
it is going to be hard to predict be
fore hand just what may come out o
the Durand movement. Anyway j

DISCOVERED! WHAT is
A CAPITALIST
You can't beat California!

You can't beat California!
They go the limit in California
Whatever is started in California is
finished You have to hand it to the
Californians
If a Californian starts in to be
progressive he goes the living limit;
if he aims to be hard boiled he be-
comes the original ten-minute egg.
Mr. Henry S. Mckee, president
of the Merchants National Bank of
Los Angeles, where everything is the
very essence of the whichness of the
which, wrote a book on "The A.B.C.'s IS
of Business" 1t tells it ALL Nothing
remains to be said.
Most important of all, we now
know what and why is a capitalist.
Mr.. Mckee has handed out "a gem
of purest ray SERENE" a glittering
jewel of bewildering brilliance, reg
ular humdinger of a sparkler Lis
ten, folks, to this:
'The capitalist is the fruit of our
industrial experience. He is the only
contrivance, except the savings bank,
and the insurance company, by the
use of which we have succeeded in
accommodating much capital; and it is
only by obtaining and using capital
that we have risen out of the cave and
wigwam. 1t has been proved that the
only way we, as people, can save
enough capital to insure the contin-
uance of our industrial life is to put
so much income into the hands of one
man that he cannot consume or de-
stroy it, and thus cannot help saving
it, After saving it there is no place
it can go except into industry. In
this way we get it saved, which is
the important thing to America as a
whole. Just who saves it does not
matter much. Saved and employed
in productive industry, it serves all
of US about equally well, no matter
who owns it."
So the reason why about capital
lists is that we need them as "institu-
tions" in which to accumulate money
so that we can have something to use
in running industry Give capital
ist so much money that he can't spend
it and he'll put it into industry.
Fill a sponge so full of water that
it can't soak up any more and give
the pail the overflow.
The reason for having silk is that
the labor left over from making silk
can be used in making gingham.
Mr.. Mckee forgets that most busi-
ness is run on credit, he forgets that
labor makes commodities upon which
values rest He forgets-but why
shouldn't he forget?
For an original explanation and
justification of capitalists the golden
orange has to be handed to him. And
let it be a California orange by all
means.
Long live the Angelenos; whatever
they do they do to frazzle. Harri-
son Gray Otis should give a cheer
from his grave for Henry Mckee.

substitute was toothless, and the wo-
men blocked it.
Now the senate has the skids set
for another backward step. 1t does
MT even offer a substitute. A resolu-
ton proposed by Senator Burch, Of
Summit county, would spend $4,000
on an investigation that would delay
minimum wage another two years.
Burch is chairman of the labor COM
mittee, which has held hearings on
the minimum wage bill these past two
weeks. The committee received
much conflicting information" Burch
says. And his resolution is either a
confession that the committee can't
separate the wheat from the chaff,
or a deliberate stall. The committee
| says that the minimum wage for wo-
4
men still is an experiment. What if
that is true? The airplane was an
experiment born in Ohio. And Ohio
profited by the early mistakes, which
made the world turn to her for air.

They have gone home to lombard the
