STEEL TRUST SPLITS WITH LL-PAID LABOR

New York, Sept 22-The mighty steel trust, with millions upon mill lions of dollars in its surplus account, announces through Judge Gary that it will "split the difference" with em- ployes. in reducing the workday. Judge Gary says "all concerned" be- | lieve this is fair and just, but he does not indicate how the views of his e1n- ployes were ascertalned.
 "In deciding the question of adjust ments as related to the I2-hour men it was deemed fair to split the differ ence' between mployer and employe," hour men should have their hours of work decreased to eight hours, but would receive pay for 10 hours on the basis of the old rate per hour, and that the employer should bear the ex- tra cost thereby created. This was deemed by all concerned to be fair and just.
 Now it is proposed to split the difference between the employer and employe concerning the Io-hour day; that is, to pay the workmen compen- sation for II hours at the old rate per hour This decision is considered equitable and will place the Io-hour men on a parity with the eight-hour men, Existing conditions will not per init a general increase of wages
 The judges reference to splitting the difference" means that under the 12-hour system a worker was paid $4.8o, or 40 cents an hour. Under eight hours, the steel trust did not dare offer him the beggarly wage off $32o, so it splits the difference" and pays him $4, or at the rate of 10 hours work.
 The 1o-hour men will be paid for II hours, or $4.4o, while the eight hour men receive $4.

Ask Mayor to Assist
 Joint Bargain Plan

Chicago, Sept 22-Organized la dies garment workers asked Mayor Dever to appoint committee of citi- zens to attempt to bring garment manufacturers into a meeting with representatives of their employers. The workers are determined to inn prove working conditions, and de clare that they will tie up the dress industry of this city if necessary to secure justice.
 The garment workers declare that the majority of their employers would perpetuate the sweat shop sys- tenn with it's inhuman conditions.
 They are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in engaging at torneys to secure injunctions," the garment workers say. Vast sums are also spent hiring private detec- lives. They maintain a system of blacklisting employees who are known to have qualities of leadership and who are active in presenting the workers cause.
 "They seek to maintain the unfair advantage they have over fair em- ployes of Chicago and throughout the country through their sweatshop sys- tenn, where the worker has no voice. y

|GOMPERS WARNS OF DANGER
 IN TRYING TO FORCE UNIONS
 TO ACT AGAINST CONVICTIONS

By International Labor News Service
 Decatur, III, Sept. 22.-Warning
 against attempts to force the trade
 unions to take action that their best
 instincts tell hem is dangerous and
 an appeal to labor to push organiza-
 ton work and to cooperate to the
 fullest extent, were contained in a
 letter by President Gompers of the
 American Federation of Labor, read
 before the convention of the Illinois
 State Federation of Labor here.
 The delegates interpreted the letter
 ot President Gompers as a warning agalnst the organization of a labor party and unsound amalgamation pro- posals. When a committee report recommending the non-concurrence of resolution instructing the dele gates to the American Federation of Labor convention to work for the formation of labor party came be- Itore the convention, the report was overwhelmingly supported, 45o dele gates voting in favor of it, while only o5 voted against it. The vote con stituted smashing defeat for the forces of William Z. Foster, who came here planning to force various radical proposals on the convention.
 The letter was addressed to Presi- dent John H. Walker of the State Federat1on, and was in part as fol- lows:
 "I regret that I cannot be in at tendance with you at the convention of the Illinois State Federation of Labor, for I should like to meet the representative men and women of the organized labor movement of I11i- nols and convey to them personally a message of fraternal greeting and good will. l do hope that you will do me the kindness to convey to the delegates to the convention the earn est hope for harmonious~a s~as well as interesting convention, and that the conclusions reached may rebound to the unity and solidarity of the or ganized labor movement of your state with that of the entire country not only in defense of that which we have but in progress and advance ment for that which is labor's due.
 "lf l could be with you at your eeonvention I would strongly urge, for the organization of the unorganized to unite and federate the organized and to see that our unions cooperate with each other, locally, in the state, and in the en- tire country, realizing the natural forces of industry and industrial de- so that the fullest CO., ordination and cooperation may be | 
 RIGHTS MUST NOT BE OVER
 RIDDEN
 There are certain inalienab1e | rights which belong to the trade | 1nions which must not and cannot | safely be overridden. We want our rade union movement as distinct as he pillows and -yet-=one as the seas
The Connecticut labor news., 1923-09-22

The attempt to force by declaration or power the unions to do that against which their own true and best instincts prompt them, is an in- vasion which cannot be tolerated and if attempted can only bring about the reaction that may not only weaken but possibly dismember the movement in it's entirety.
 "The City Central Labor Bodies have within their own localities certain rights and so long as they do not conflict with the American Federation of Labor as such, these rghts must be preserved and protected. The State Federations of Labor have within their states cer- tain rights, and so long as they do not conflict with the American Fed eration of Labor as such, these rights must be preserved and protected,
 Il have reference to the constitu- tion of the American Federation of Labor, the declaration and decisions of principle and policy declared by con ventions of the American Federation of Labor, and these have their full ap- the political field and in addition, to the international relations of labor or ot our respective countries.
 GROUPS SHOULD FOLLOW A.
 
 F. OF L.
 Il am sure you will understand from what have written that 1t is my pur- pose to convey to you the fact that if we want a cohesive, efficient labor movement of America each group in its own division must conform to the general plan of the labor movement as outlined and <decreed by the represen- tatlves of the organized labor move ment of America in the convention of the American Federation of Labor, as follows:
 ..'The City Central Body within the sphere of it's activities, the State Fed erations within the sphere of their ac- tivities and jurisdictions, and the Amer ican Federation of Labor with a broad, comprehensive representation of the forces of organized labor of America, decreeing that which shall be the stan dard, principle and policy of the whole labor movement. While the American Federation of Labor has organized many national and unions in addition to state federations and city central bodies, the fact must be clearly understood that the parent organizations the nation al unions and that the American Fed eration of Labor as such Is the crea- tion of the national and international unions and their entity and integrity must be maintained at all hazards"
