MOSCOW PLOTS
 AGAINST BERLIN

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Dec. 21.-Indi- cations of desperate communist eff forts to take advantage of the con dition of trade union weakness in Germany have reached Washington in reports from the headquarters of the International Federation of Trade Unions at Amsterdam.
 "The Berlin district branch of the United Social Democratic party of Germany has published an open let ter, declining the invitation of the communist party to unite with it in forming committee of action," says the Amsterdam report "The branch declares that this invitation is part of a plot to win over from the Social Democratic party the wide masses of the proletariat In support of this contention, the letter contains various quotations from writings of Zinoviev in the "Pravda" of Moscow, in which Zinoviev asserts the necessity of se- curing, in case of revolutionary out break in Germany, complete control both of the Social Democratic Party and of the free" trade unions in or der "to clear the way for the victory of the workers"

VO BETTER INVESTMENT FOR
 WORKER THAN A UNION CARD

The year of g has passed and no part of the history of its achievements stand out more prominently than the pro- gres made by the trade union movement. Its successful offensive and defensive campaign against those who would de stroy its activities should be an inspira- tion to the organized workers of our country to put forth stronger and more determined effort during the year 1924 {; to carry on the fight through organi- zation, education, cooperation and soli- darity until labor,s program for the amelioration of ali forms of injustice has been successfully carried out and a new day for labor realized.
 In the beginning of the new year we will again hear much through the public press of the progress" made by the so called open shop promoters and of the paying of bonuses by concerns who spe- cialize in this philantropic practice.
 The open shop IS mortgage on the workers opportunity for advancing his economic development. Bonuses are un- paid wages which the organize dworkers receive in their weekly pay envelopes without having to wait until the end of the year. Compare the wages of the or ganized with the unorganized, including their bonuses, and it will be found that the organized workers receive the highest pay. There IS always question whether the bonus will be paid and the unorga- nized worker has no say in this arrange ment It is optional with the employer whether it is paid or not. There are many instances where this has happened If the bonus that are unpaid were count cd up it would mean millions of dollars in money and thousands of broken pro- mises.
 There is no better investment that the working man can make than to join ano pay dues in a trade union of his craft or calling. Besides the guarantee of high wages and better general working conditions he insures his economic value. A paid ID union card has demonstrated that it IS better insurance policy and will pay higher dividends than any other investment a working man can make. This is not theory but proven fact.
 The living standards of the organized American working man and his family are far better than those of any other nation. If the morganized workers, including the so-called white collar man, are not sharing these better conditions that is their fault and should not be charged against those who are far sight cd enough to protect themselves and their interests by trade union afhlia- tions. A reduetion. Sfrom the shigher wages and standards of the organized to that of the unorganized would not help the latter group but would add very largely to the number of those who, be-. cause of being morganized, are unable eO defend themselves and are forced to accept conditions that are working grear hardship upon them as they are com pelled to meet the high cost of living which is much greater problem for them than for the better paid men and women organized into trade unions. 1t is well that our members keep this fact always in mind.

The doors of organized labor are wide open to all those outside of the Amer ican Federation of Labor who are eli gible, and we invite them to join our ranks. This would be a good New Years resolution for 24. Why wait longer for hopeless anticipation for the propagandist of the so-called open shop the American plan, industrial democra- cy, house and senate, bonus, and other plans to solve your economic problems for you? These schemes have all failed and the conditions of the unorganized are worse than before. The American Federation of Labor and its millions of members has found the way to effective ly defend the workers rights. It is sue cessfully fighting against injustice, ex- ploitation, oppression and for the ad- vancement and development of social justice, human aspirations and progress

 Constantine went on with lot of other tirades to which union men are too we'll accustomed to have repeated here. On the whole a charitable view should be taken for the congregation that was so grossly imposed upon

By International Labor News Service Washington, D. C., Dec. 2I.-The lengths to which some business con-
 cerns will go in warning on compet- itors is revealed by the Federal Trade Commission in attacking the methods and tactics of the Utah-Idaho Sugar Company and the Amalgamated Sugar Company.
 In concluding a detailed and spe- cihc report on the methods of the two sugar companies, the trade com mission charges the companies con- spired unfairly to obstruct, hinder, suppress and eliminate competition in the purchase of sugar beets and the manufacture and sale of . beet sugar in interstate commerce in various western states, especially Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington and sNe- vada. The commission orders the companies to desist from it's conspir- acy and unfair practices and forbids them from doing certain things, which 1t names in part as follows:
 By intimidation, untruthful state ments or otherwise, preventing, him dering or attempting to prevent or hinder the Dyer Company, a corpora ton of Cleveland, Ohio, a manufac- turere of beet sugar factory machin- cry and builder of beet sugar fac tories in the United States or any other such manufacturer, from en- gazing Tn interstate commerce in selling, building. and equipping beet sugar factories for competitors or prospective competitors who are en- gagged rwho are about to engage in the purchase of sugar beets and the manufacture and sale of refined beet sugar in interstate commerce
 By using their financial power and influence so as to cause banks and others to refuse credit to and to dis courage competitors and prospective competitors from engaging in the pur chase of sugar beets and the nlanu- faeture and sale of refined beet sugar, in interstate commerce.
 By using their financial power and influence to purchase land and erect factories in the territory where competitors or prospective competi- tors intend or shall undertake to start in the business of purchasing sugar beets and of manufacturing and selling refined beet sugar in in terstate commerce, when such pur- chases or erections are not done in good faith and for no other purpose than to forestall, obstruct and pre- vent competitors and prospective competitors from engaging Tn the bus. mess of purchasing sugar beets and of manufacturing and selling refined beet sugar in interstate commerce. : By circulating and publishing false, misleading and unfair state. ments concerning the machinery and equipment of competitors or pro- spective competitors factories, or the fitness of such machinery to success fully manufacture refined beet su- gar.

 The trolleymen insisted they were not afraid of losing their jobs but were speaking for the riding public. Mayor Kinsella spoke briefly but did not com nit himself on the issue, stating that he would take position when the matter came to his hand after the aldermen had acted on the committees report. It ap- peared to be evident from the attitude of the members of sthe committee, of which Alderman James F. Kane is chairman, that they favor taking the one-inan cars off the street. Several other aldermen were in the audience getting irst-hand information on an is sue that is one of the acutest that has faced the council.
 The mayor said he felt is was un- fortunate the labor issue had been in- jected and that he was surprised that MT. Storrs had warned of fare reduc- ton in this connection. He pointed out that the two-Inen provision was an es- sential feature of the Tucker agree agreement on which he was a committee member at the time
 J. J. Peyton of No. 10 Inlay street said the one-rlan cars had greatly re- duced the efficiency of the service The only remedy, iii his opinion, is to elirni- nate the one-man car.

 Then he went on to explain a mans standing after he Is in the Union. Once he is in no effort is made to improve dis mind or the quality of the work he turns out" was his declara- tion and again he knew he was wrong but he was talking from pulpit where everything. IS. supposed to be Gospel truth It is well known to MT. Constantine and his ilk that a man working beside a competent union man must keep up the standard as "two-thirder" of in building lines as competent for doing such a kind of work with pay accordingly. If that doesn't act as an incentive for him to improve his mind and the quality of his work, perhaps the machine-like, specialized methods en- forced by the Open Shop, where his individuality is destroyed, might do so but it is doubted. Then Constan- tlHe WG1ll OIL
 "The mere fact that he is a mem Der of the union and that nothing can happen to him without affecting the other members of the union is in the majority of cases thought sufficient. On the other hand, the man who does not belong to the union is not con tent with that feeling of security, but learns, studiesand1nakes an effort to get ahead"
 Nice things for anybody to be try ing to put out from pulpit where he was only guest, even if perhaps on his own invitation Constantine knows full well, that Unions are the first to penalize their members for anw defaction of the working or other rules. He knows these penalties are enforced, for the gang working in the Open Shops are mainly men who were either kicked out of the unions because of incompetency or double dealings or not let in at all for the same reasons.
