State prisoners should not be en-

The present convict labor system

Prison-made garments compete un-
fairly with the products of free labor,
such as:
Aprons, house dresses, athletic un-

Addressing a Chicago Federation of

said:
ITS time for the American Labor

Il haven't any doubt that if the

union organizers from talking with

MOVEMENT FOR "0PEN SHOP"
IN PHOT0-ENGRAv|NG TRADE
FAST RECEDMG, VOL SAYS

By International Labor News Service.
Milwaukee, Wis.-The "open shop
movement in the photo-engraving in
dustry is fast losing ground. Presi-
dent Matthew Woll of the Information
al Photo-Engravers' Union of North
America, told the twenty-fourth an
nual convention of the union here.
Opposition to our international
union and local unions has receded to
a remarkable degree" said President
VOL in his annual report. He con-
tinued:
"The so-called open shop atmos-
phere, sureharged two years ago with
all sorts of pyrotechnics, has greatly
reduced in tensity. Reason is again
coming into a field where passion
reigned supreme. Employers as well
as workers more fully realize the
dangers and folly of this frenzied
fanaticism.
attempting to operate photo-en-
craving plants in the spirit of antag-
onism toward our organization has
not benefited anyone but has harmed
the industry as a whole. 1t is frankly
admitted that he cost of production
in these so-ealled open shops has
not Deen iessened; rather, II has In
creased and the service has deterior-
ated TO a dangerous limit. Conee-
quently, price cutting has been the
despairing hope of these crusaders in
prolonging the delusion of ultimate
success.
What these leaders in the So
called open shop movement in our
craft hope ultimately to accomplish
is difficult to understand. Were we
to submit to their dictates, dissolve
our organization and submit to indi-
vidual bargaining, what would these
industrial masters do other than
cheaper the price of the service and
demoralize the industry completely
Indeed, it will be asked what has beer

EXECUTIVE COUNCIL PREPARES
GREAT REPORT FOR COMING
CONVENTION AT PORTLAND

in New York for the broadcasing of
statement setting forth the mine
owners position in the anthracite con-
troversy. The council is understood
to view with satisfaction and great
interest the wide use of radio, for
entertainment and educational pur-
poses, but to have under considera-
ton methods by which onesided pro-
paganda use of broadcasting may be
prevented.
PhotO-Engravers Head Reports.
Vice President Matthew Vol re-
ported to the council on the work of
the convention of the International
Photo Engravers' Union, Just closed
in Milwaukee, where Mr.. VOL was re-
elected president The Photo En-
gravers dealt a death blow at soviet
ism and at the so-called amalgamation
propaganda. One of the delegates
introduced resolutions favoring both
projects. Later he sought to with
draw the resolutions, but was not al
lowed to do so. On vote every dele
gate, including the introducer, voted
in the negative. The resolution on
"amalgamation,' the Foster project,
provides that any photo-engraver who
connives with any outside organiza-
ton shall be considered as indulging
in hostile activity.
The cigarmakers also defeated reso-
lutions favoring soviet Russia, by roll
call vote. The defeat of the commun-
list proposals was overwhelming.
Tells of Railroad Situation.
Martin Ryan, president of the Rail-
way Carmen of America, who was
leected to membership in the council
three months ago to succeed w. d.
Mahon, resigned, laid before the
council the facts in relation to the
railroad situation. He reported on the
number of roads on which the rail-
road shop crafts are still on strike
and was most optimistic as to the re-
suit. This situation will, of course,
be covered in detail, in the report to
the coming convention.
Practically all of the councils
time from now until the close of the
meeting will be consumed in prepare
ton of the annual report, which is ex-
pected to be one of the most i'm
portant ever laid before an annual
convention.
