MORAL OBLIGATIONS
 AND DUTY
By G. w. PERKINS, President Cigarmakers" International
 Union.

Centuries of oppression imposed upon labor with no consideration for
 their rights and welfare naturally de Iveloped in their minds and hearts spirit of resentment, hatred, and ven- geance. As the trade union move ment has grown numerically and Tn
 usefulness the spirit of hatred and
 vengeance has been modified.
 Labor demands it's full share of the value it creates. Labor Is entitled to
 reasonable hours of labor and to a which it works. The exercise of in disputab1e rights on the part of labor carries with 1t moral obligations which we can not escape. Much of the failure of manufactur- CTS and producers is due to their own lack of vision, capacity, and brains. No establishment, regardless of the manufacturers capabilities, can func- ton to capacity unless operated un- der mutually harmonious relations. Production is becoming more com p1ex year by year. The development of Giant Power and its application in industry makes 1t necessary that there be better understanding of labor's rights, its liabilities and moral obli- gations.
 Better relations should be cultivated and maintained between the repre- sentatives of the union and the en- p1oyers. Labor, organized, has noth- ing to fear from the introduction of this growing Giant Power. It has everything to gain. It will gain and profit just in proportion as we organ ize and assume our full moral obliga- tion Wherever improved machinery has become operative and the work CTS have organized they have always been the gathers The introduction of the Giant Power in industry has been so rapid that 1t has overwhelmed some of the most optimistic and in some instances created apprehension. There is no necessity for either.
 When the captains of industry realize that they must reckon with the organized workers and accord to them full rights and privileges in the mat ter of wages and working conditions happier life will be in the making. Amicable industrial relations with sustained prosperity for all who give service will follow when both sides realize their mutual obligations.
 Genuine he1pfulness of all con- cerned in production will speed an era of prosperity heretofore undream- ed of When that stage Is reached | there will be no periods of industrial stagnation, there will be no involun- tary unemployment, and there vii be no piling up of great fortunes by non- producers, prohteers and those who cut coupons without giving adequate | service.

NO MAN CAN BLOW HOT AND COLD
 AT SAME TIME
By JOHN P. FREY

(1n International Holders Journal.)
 More than one International Union
 has been compelled to take action because of the activities of members of the so-called Trade Union Educa- tional League, who were using their trade union membership for the pur- pose of carrying out the policies of the Trade Union Educational League within the trade union. One of these organizations is the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union, which found that members of the Trade Union Educational League were endeavoring to carry out the disruptive program of that organiza- ton inside of the trade union; that is to say, these members of the Trade
 Union Educational League were re- ceiving instructions from their or
 ganization as to what they were to do in the trade union where they had their membership.
 On November I7 there was meet ing of the general, executive board of the International Ladies' Garment Workers in Chicago, at which repre- sentativcs of the local executive board were present On this local execu-
 tive board were six members belong ing to the Trade Union Educational League. They were given the alter native of resipning from the Trade Union. Educational League or resign ing from the executive board. They
 chose to resign from the executive board, which was ample evidence to prove that their first allegiance was
 to the Trade Union Educational League, and that the charges which had been brought against them were
 well grounded. The right of men to their own opinions cannot be questioned, but the right of men to do what they ter, for while men have a right to
 think as they choose, they do not
 have the right to doubel cross, or the
 right to mislead, or the right to
 cause division in the trade union
 movement, or the right to take part
 in dual organization. Those who be- lieve that the Trade Union Educa- tional League IS better form of or
 ganization than the trade union move ment are within their rights, but when, as members of the Trade Union Educational League they en-
 deavor to carry out the policies of
 that organization within their trade
 union, and these policies are intend
 ed to disrupt trade unionlsm, then
 they are no longer within their rights, and the trade union move ment is fully justified in enforcing upon them the rule that they can not belong to both organizations at the same time, but must take their choice between the one or the other.
 Common sense, as well as protection
 to the organization, makes such a
 rule necessary, for no member can
 be permitted to actively participate in any organization which has for its
 object the destruction of the trade union, or the creating of division in it's ranks.

HARD LUCK STORY
Dropped By Railroads AS
They View Onrushing
Boom

New York.-At meeting of the
American Railway Association in this
city plans were discussed to handle
the largest volume of traffic in the
history of the country. The boom is
expected to be at its height in Octo-
ber when the output of farms, factor
les, mills and workshops will break
all records.
The railroad managers made no
mention of the usual poverty and hard
luck story that of late has become as
| sociated with meetings of railroad
managers and financiers.
There was nothing said about "the
strangling of the transportation sys-
tenn" and the obstruction of initiative
and individual effort" Instead, the
railroad managers announce that
since January l, 1922, they have au-
thorized $1,540,0 100000 for improve
ments and equipment, to meet the
| growing demands of commerce. The
money is being raised, said the rail
way association, largely through
borrowed money on the abiding faith
in the fairness of the American people
and a reliance on the continuance of
the policy announced in the transpor-
tation act of 1920 as a measure of
reasonable protection to investment
in railroad property"
This sentiment is in contrast to
previous declarations that the rail
roads have their backs to the wall
Now we are told that the fairness of
the American people" can be relied
upon, and that the transportation act,
with its guarantee of interest on in
vestment, is satisfactory to the rail-
roads.

GOING BACKWARD
Says Labor Woman of
Courts Action on Wo-
mems Minimum
Wage Law

Washington.-"The supreme court
could not have gone backward more
decisively," said Miss Ethel Smoth,
legislative secretary of the national
women's trade union league, in refer
ring to the outlawing of the District
of Columbia women's minimum wage
law. Miss Smith is also the labor rep-
resentative on the minimum wage
board that was created by the law.
She intimated that the league would
call conference to discuss the sit
uation.
The women of the country have
seen two child labor laws invalidated.
and now the minimum wage laws for
women, which they have worked for
nearly 20 years to put upon the stat
ute books of Ia states and are stin
working for in other states" said
Miss Smith.
Their other recent statute, the
Sheppard-Towner act, is also await
ing decision from this same supreme
court, with the least possible encour-
agement, now that the court, with it's
new personnel, has added another de-
cision which leaves out of considera-
tion the social point of view, the pub
lie interest, and, in fact, the human
element In principle there can be
no difference between the case of sell
ing goods says Justice Sutherland
and his four associates of the major
ity
by that proclamation the highest
court in the land again puts human
labor on the basis of commodity,
and the labor contract on the basis of
barter and sale. 1t could not we'll
have gone backward more decisively."

SHORTAGE IN LABOR
is LARGELY FICTION

New York.-With the adjournment
of congress and the failure to secure
free immigration, employers have
abandoned their shortage-of-labor
claim.
The national industrial conference
board, representing score of employ
ers' organizations, states that there is
not so great labor shortage as is
frequently supposed from current re-
ports.
The estimate is based on returns
from more than 1000 manufacturing
establishments in all parts of the
United States.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-04-20

In the trusts official announcement
no mention is made of the low wage
paid this class of workers, but en-
phasis is placed on the IL per cent,
which sounds better to those who
have visions that steel trust labor is
paid 81 and So day.
The trusts policy will be accepted
by other mills throughout the coun-
try. These corporations bemoan the
shortage of labor, and insist that they
have free access to the Balkans and
eastern Europe, the source of the
cheapest white labor in the world,
and which is willing to work for sc
cents an hour.
Mill owners have been forced to
raise wages even to 40 cents to hold
their labor. Almost everywhere else
this grade of labor is receiving from
55 cents an hour up.
The reason for the 10, II and IL
hour day in the trusts mill is again
shown. Workers can not live on a
wage of $500 for 10-hour day, and
they are forced to work longer hours
to receive living wage.
With fine irony Judge Gary has
been quoted in the public press as de-
claring that the 12-hour day is en-
forced in the trust mills because the
workers demand it.

OBJECT TO NOSE BAGS"

Seattle. e.-"Nose bags" the term
workers apply to cold lunches, caused
a strike on the city's hydroelectric
tunnel at Wewhalem. The workers
want ward food for this laborious
work. They object to the cold lunches
put up in paper bags.

BIG NOISE
Made BY Trust When II
Raises Its Low Wage
A Cents \

New York.-With blare of trum-
pets, the steel trust announces wage
increase of IL per cent to its "com-
mon" labor. This is an increase of A
cents an hour, or from SO cents to 40
cents. Last year the trust made a
profit of $39, ,653 ASS, after all charges
and interest were paid.
