MACHINSTS WAKING UP

1t seems that the local machinists
are at last waking from long, deep
sleep. Tney are waking up to the fact
1T they want to receive as much
money for their weeks work as do
the teamster, and in many cases as
much as common laborers are receiv-
ing, they will have to get together.
organize and collectively ask for
what they want. Machinists today,
everywhere, are the lowest paid skill
ed mechanics in the industrial field,
They look with longing on the jobs
of the building trades craftsmen who
are averaging more than dollar an
hour, on the molders and others who
are getting more than 80 cents an
hour, and then wonder why they. most
everyone of whom is a skilled artist.
receives at the very highest, and
these in rare instances, 65 cents an
hour. The answer is plain-and sim
ple-lack of organization. For some
reason or other it has always been
hard to get the members of this craft
really interested in unionism-in or
ganization. They all like to receive
the benefits accruing from organiza-
ton, but many of them don't seem
to like the idea of joining the union
and paying its dues.
But they are beginning to wake up
as stated before, that they must get
together and act collectively as the
only means to get their just dues.
A nationwide membership campaign
has been started in the ranks, and
many are coming in. Local Lodge
No. 241, Machinsts, is getting active
1t is planned for ninety days there
will be open meetings held every Sat-
urday afternoon at the labor temple,
and during which time members will
be taken in at a reduced initiation fee.
All unorganized machinists are in
vited and urged to attend these meet
ings and learn what is being done
for the future benefit of the mem
bers of the craft. 1t is hoped that
within a short time the membership
will have grown to such proportions
throughout the country that their de-
mands can no longer be ignored by
the employers.
Every machinist should attend
every one of these weekly meetings.
A monster open meeting is being ar

ANTI-UNION EN-
PLOYERS SIGN UP
FOR UNIONISM

Bakersfield, Calf The Bakersfield
Plumbers and Gasfitters' Union and
the other building trades here have
made splendid progress in their fight
against anti-union shop employers,
according to Organizer James IL.
Shields, in report in the Plumbers,
Gas and Steamftters' Journal.
"The merchants Of Bakersfield have
learned bitter lesson as to the folly
of destroying the conditions working
men and women made by organized
labor" says Sheehe. "In passing
through the principal business streets
it was amusing to see the way the
merchants are displaying union shop
cards of the clerks and other crafts,
and without doubt it will be long
time before they let any other Moses
lead them into another effort to es-
tablish their so-called American
plan"

RAILROAD SHOPMEN
DITCH BOSSES
COMPANY UNION

The shopmen on the Chicago & Al
ton railroad have ditched the railroad
management's company union which
was forced upon them, with the
check off applied by deducting dues
from the pay envelopes over the mems
protest, according to Vice President
Barry. of the International Brother
hood of Blacksmiths, Drop Forgers
and Helpers.
The men asked the management to
abolish the company union. The man.
agement refused. The men then APP
pealed the matter to the railroad la
Dor board. which still has the matter
under advisement.
We are holding mass meetings at
tall points on the system" declares
Barry, "and we find the men 100 per
cent against the company organiza-

UNSKILED LABOR
EXODUS GOOD
THING FOR SOUTH

"The South, we are told, is losing
thousands of it's common laborers, the
majority of whom are inefficient, ac-
customed to long hours of slow inef-
fective work, unsanitary conditions
and low standards of living" says the
American Pressman, the official organ
of the International Printing Press
men and Assistants Union of North
America, in an article on the So
called shortage of labor.
"It is well for the South, but some
short-sighted capitalists and loud
mouthed, cunning politicians are pub
licly bemoaning the loss of this crude,
inferior labor.
"The time is shortly coming when
it will be generally recognized that
the loss of such labor is the South's
gain. And so it is with crude labor
and low standards--the sooner we get
rid of both the better off we will be-

THE BALANCE OF POWER

If the race could take itself con-
sciously in hand, with something like
united super-mind, it could today
play the most fascinating game of all
time.
Our demand for luxury, for leisure
and the trappings of leisure, for fun
and the equipment Of fun, for that
multitude of things which we demand
in ever increasing quantities, yet
which do not fall within the cate
cory of things necessary to sustain
life. has drawn thousands upon thou
sands out of the industries that pro-
duce life-sustaining things.
Who among you work in the pro-
duction of food, clothes, houses :?
A minority work at the business of
providing the plain, elemental neces-
sites of life. The refnements and
luxuries of life call more and more
to their creation each day.
AS matters stand we have about
achieved balance of power between
luxuries and necessities. If much
more of our productive capacity is
withdrawn we shall go shortof neces-
sites.
The human desire grows apace. The
willingness to drive our bodies beyond
the fatigue line is not with us.
Invention, which led US into this
beautiful, enticing, adventurous trap
must get us free More invention
Better use of what we have. Elimi-
nation of faulty processes. Make ma
chinery workout don't pinch labor
in the process.
The motor car displaced the horse
and there was no other place for the
horse. There must be place for the
man. We are delicately balanced
upon pinnacle Beyond lies glory
and life, or destruction. We depend
upon our selection of greed or intel
ligence as our guide.-Chester M

KELLOGG GETS FINE JOB

The announcement that ex-senator
Kellogg has been chosen ambassador
to England will be gratifying to those
political leaders who look forward in
stead of backward.
Mr.. Kellogg, when first elected to
the senate, was considered a progress
sive, one who thought more of the in
terest of the whole people than the
financial advantages of special inter
ests. But he soon took his place with
the deep-dyed reactionaries and the
Minnesota voters promptly retired
him to private life.
His removal from the United States
will take away an experienced manip-
ulator of Wall street political wires,
and for this the country should be
thankful. Tribune.

STEEL'S EXTRA DIVIDEND

Judge Gary sees prosperity for
steel This seems to be the infer
ence drawn from the United States
steel corporations declaration of an
unexpected extra dividend on its COM
mon stock
Yet it was only few months ago
that Judge Gary was dolefully inti-
mating that ruin stared steel in the
face if the eight-hour workday was
introduced in the industry.
Evidently the judge has changed his
mind, as he wouldn't sanction an extra
dividend if he thought that the eight
hour day, now being established in
the steel mills, was really menacing
steel profits.
True, the judge showed flash of
his old pessimism regarding the eight
hour workday when he told the re-
porters that probably the abolishing
of the 12-hour day was responsible
to some extent for reduction of the
steel corporations earnings in Sep
tember But that he was not seriously

$5O,OOO,OOO NEW BUILDING STOP
High Cost of Labor and Materials
Blocks Building Operations In
Big Cities.
DANGER OF BIG PANIC
Situation Serious-Attract Attention
of Banks.

Side by side with the womens cru
SADIE against the high price of suga
is the stand taken by builders in New
YORK City. During the first nine day.
OF May suspensions were ordered OF
construction work involving fifty mil
lions of dollars. This action has beer
followed in other parts of the coun.
try. What is known now as the Guild
ing slump" made a high record dur
ing April, when constructive work was
reduced $11S,OOO,OOO, or rs per centum
OF the March record. The May Slump
is expected to be larger.
This cessation of building in New
York is attributed to the high price
OF materials and labor demands. One
considerable building upon which
work has been stopped was contract
ed for by the New York Telephone
Company, involving an outlay of SILL
zOO,OOO. Those who had started to
erect large structures can afford to
wait awhile, but when it is taken in
to consideration that large percent
age OF the money to be spent for the
buildings started and now held back
would have been paid out for wages
the individual loss to the workers will
be heavy. There is a limit to wages
that builders can afford to pay, or are
willing to pay.
indicating just what the contractors
have to face in New York, it was re-
ported recently that thirty-eight brick
layers employed on one job, being paid
twelve dollars a day, had struck be-
cause they were refused a demand for
fourteen dollars day. With the brick
layers one hundred laborers struck
through sympathy"
On the other hand, three hundred
derrick men, who had been on strike
for an increase of two dollars a day
they had been getting eight dollars
returned to work at the wages they
had been receiving. The demand is to
be discussed with their employers. In
addition the steady increase in the
prices of building materials has added
to the contractors expense many
thousands of dollars. Contracts made
upon a certain basis cease to be de-
sirable or profitable when bidders. are
faced day after day with new demands
for more wages.
The situation is serious, and it be-
gins 10 look as IL there were a drift !
in the direction of numbering the
goose that laid the golden egg" dur
ing the wartime imitation. For some
time it has been recorded that there
were only thirteen men to be found to
fill fourteen jobs. If the building
slump" continues, as is promised, the
will be changed, and there
may be only half dozen jobs for a
dozen men. Real prosperity can only
be made permanent by return to
reason. "UatriOtism" was the slogan
when the United States went into the
war There is now a positive need for
further evidence of patriotism"
Normalcy and prosperity should not

PROTECT GAME

A movement is under way to pro-
tect the game of this section by en-
listing the aid of sportsmen in shoot
ing game destroying animals and birds
before they have an opportunity to
cause destruction during the nesting
and mating season. Plans are being
made to have every sportsman inter-
ested in game protection, spend some
time Kidding woods, field and marsh
OF predatory hawks, owls and crows,
Weasels, and others who annually kill
ten times as much game as all gun
ners combined. 1t has been stated that
the red squirrel alone will kill 200
birds a season, while the great horned
owl destroys annually covey after CO.
vey of quail. Special efforts are being
made to enlist the aid of game lovers
against the crow who is described as
destroying individually more birds of
all kinds, more birds eggs and young
poultry than any other bird that ever
Tapped a wing.
All game destroying animals and
birds are classed by sportsmen and
game lovers as vermin, and it is ex-
pected that vermin hunting clubs can
be organized here and that members
of established gun clubs will join in
the movement by going into the woods
and shooting as many game destroy
ers as they can find.
