Bakers Boost Wages
From SIS to $40

Chicago, Ill.-During the 9-year
period from 1911 to 1920 the Bakery
and Confectionery Workers Interna-
tional Union of America increased
wages for bench and machine hands
from SIS and SIG to nearly $40 a
week, the percentage of increases
ranging as high as 200 per cent, de-
clares statement made public by the
general executive board of the union.
"The wages for the year 1920 con-
stitute the peak and high water mark
of wages ever paid to journeymen
bakers" says the board. They. are
frequently referred to as war wages.
1t was these wages that the reac-
tionary employing element concen-
trated all their attacks on in an eff
fort to break them down, and against
which militant resistance was main
tained by our local unions during the
past three years.
"This attack of the reactionary en-
ployers utterly failed. One hundred
and thirty-one of our local unions
have succeeded in maintaining their
1920 wage and 81 of them have sue
ceeded in increasing these minimum
wages by an average of 9.65 per cent.
Only 43 local unions had to contend
with decreases averaging 10 per cent.
During the last IL years the daily
work day has been reduced from the
standard of 9 and 10 hours to that of
the uniform 8-hour day, with a few
exceptions where the 81a and hour
day still prevail, offsetting which are
a number of localities that now have
the 7 and 71a hour day.

LET PEOPLE ELECT JUDGES

United States Senator Dill of Wash
ington favors the popular election OF
federal judges.
The judges are now appointed for
life by the President of the United
States and are generally corporation
lawyer politicians whose major busl-
ness has been to twist the statute law
in favor of employers and against the
workers.
Representatives Hill of Wash
ington, recently chosen in a special
election, made popular election of fed
eral judges one of the fighting planks
in his platform.
An amendment to the federal Con-
stitution will be required to place the
election of federal judges in the
hands of the people the same as an
amendment was necessary few years
ago to place the election of United
States Senators in the peoples hands.
The amendment requires a two
thirds vote of both House and Senate
for its submission to the state legls-
latureS.

College Prof. Flags
u. S. Supreme Court

Washington, d. C.-Dr John A.
Ryan deserves the thanks of organ
lied labor and of progressive people
generally for his sharp attack on the
decision of the United States Supreme
Court declaring the District of Column
bia minimum wage law unconstitu-
tional.
DR.. Ryan, who is a noted economist
and professor of political science at
the Catholic university, Washington,
D. c., doesn't mince words in con-
demning the decision. He asserts
that the decision is "deplorable," and
says there are no provisions in the
United States Constitution which
Clearly and Enthusiastically conflict
with the provisions of the minimum
wage law"
Then DR.. Ryan proceeds to show
what the policy of the Supreme Court
really means. He says:
"The individual liberty which the
majority of the Supreme Court would
vindicate against arbitrary restraint
is in reality the liberty of few
powerful and cunning individuals to
oppress large numbers of their fel-
lows.
at is the liebrty of the strong to
violate the natural rights of the weak.
at is the liberty that is always
dear to the thug, the burglar, the
sneak thief, the crooked gambler, and
every other anti-social malefactor who
feels capable of vanquishing or out
whiting his fellow man in an unregu-
lated competitive struggle"
Strong words, but true. Would
that there were more men like DR..
Ryan in our higher educational insti-

SHOULD BE LABOR DAILIES

If workers supported labor papers
as consistently as labor papers sup
port the workers in all their strug-
giles there would be no such things as
weeklies. Rather there would be daily
newspapers in every littel town and
city giving to the workers the same
service and loyal support that the
newspapers of big business give to
the people who they represent and
serve.

ADJUSTED COMPENSATION

The soldiers bonus will go through
the next congress-and it should
but not with sales tax attachment.
Take the money out of the rich guys
who profiteered while the boys were
in France.
There is another war compensation
that ought to go through too. There
were a few newspapers and quite a
number of individuals who did not fall
for the war propaganda but told the
truth about the war while it was
going on They have been vindicated
up to the hilt by later events. They
should be generously compensated by
a grateful country for the persecu-
tion to which they were subjected.

WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT

A MAYOR who is free and inde-
pendent from Boss influence and
control.
A MAYOR who is a clean red
blooded representative of the people.
A MAYOR who believessin a wage
for the workers that will allow a man
to save.
A MAYOR who will take orders
only from the people.
A MAYOR who is absolutely op-
posed to special privilege.
A MAYOR who has a record for
doing things.
A MAYOR who insures a square
deal to all the people.

LAWS AND MORE LAWS

An expert statistician estimates
that Americans have at least 100000
laws to obey He 81 entirely too con-
servative. ,oo
The last congress along passed 93O
new laws. The various state Legls-
latures passed $4,000 laws at their
last sessions.
We are too interested in enactlng
new laws to give attention to enforc-
inng those laws we already have.
This is easy to understand. We
have a national mania for believing
that all we have to do to solve prob
lem is to get some legislative body to
enact a law against it.

A Weekly Panorama of Events in the
National Capital.
By Peter Keegan

One of the big puzzles in Washing
ton now is: "Where does Coolidge
stand on the World Court? ?" 1t has
been generally believed though moth
ing official was forthcoming from the
White House, that the President in
tended to give almost complete ap-
proval to the Harding-Hughes propo-
sal to take the United States into the
court on an equal footing with the
members of the League of Nations,
but some doubt has been cast upon
this view by the apparently authorita-
tive statement by one correspondent
that Coolidge has ,"droped" the world
court plan. Even if the President has
decided to let the world court slide
into the discard as far as this country
is concerned, he is not expected to let
his position be known until Congress
meets in December. Coolidge likes to
stay as far away from trouble as he
can, and he knows that the world
court issue is loaded with political
dynamite that might blow him back
into private life.
Publicity given to plans of the Ad-
ministration to help out the farmers
had the effect of causing Wall Street
to sit up and come to the conclusion
that there must be something wrong
with the Agricultural situation after
all. Both President Coolidge and
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
hastened, however, to let it be known
that there was nothing fundamentally
wrong with the country economically
and that everything was going to turn
out all right, despite the present de-
preston.
Secretary Mellon likewise believes
that there will not be any so-called
radical legislation in the next Con-
gress. There is no way of deter
mining Melons basis for this belief,
but here is the way one Congressman,
who hclds the same view, explained
it to me: He figures that the Repub
licans, despite their small pluarlities
in the House and Senate, will be able
to so completely control the major
committees that is will be extremely
difficult to get both houses to agree
to any piece of legislation that is not
all wool and yard wide. This will
be accomplished through the control
of the joint conference committees
which meet in secret to put bills in
shape for final enactment after they
have passed. There is nothing par
ticularly new in such procedure. 1t
has been the rule for many years, but
the only difference for the next two
years will be that the check-mating
process will have to be done with
greater efficiency and watchfulness.

But there Is another influence which
the motion picture exerts that is lit
tie thought of In this country. That
is its power to unity the nation. The
customs and modes of living OF the
country are no longer SO unfamiliar
as they used to be. The news week
lies keep New Orleans informed of
what is going on and what is being
worn in Chicago. and San Francisco
knows all about New York. just as
Boston knows all about Los Angeles
and Portland.
The effect on the country's social
and industrial life which this condi-
tion has gradually brought about is
tremendous. An expression Of its
