Vale of Wages Higher in United States Than
 in 12 Other Countries

By International Labor News Service
 Washington, D. C., Oct. 26.-Fig- ures quoted by The Nations Busi- ness, official organ of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, in dicate that the wages of American workers have larger purchasing value than those of other industrial nations. The Nations Business says:
 Wages paid in different countries are hard to compare in these days of depreciated currencies, however much the effect of divergencies may be felt in international competition. Even If absolute comparisons are pretty much out of the question, for the time be- ing, there are some indications of how things stand. For instance, there are the figures compiled by the Brit ish Ministry of Labor to show the amount of food which can be pur- chased with the wages paid in cer- tain occupations for 48 hours of work
 Reduced to an index, number, with the amount purchasable in London as 100, these figures were, for the spring of

Trade Union Government Depends
 On Discipline

New York, Oct 26.-"It must be clearly understood that all our unions are in essence voluntary organiza- tions," declares Justice, the official organ of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, in an edi- torial on the actoin of Local 9. of the Cloak Finishes and Tailors' Union oi New York in rejecting the decision of the general executive board of the international union to the effect that union members must give up their membership in certain subyersive or ganizations known as~ educational leagues" or forfeit their standing in the local unions.
 "The real power of every union consists III the se1f-discipline imposed by the members continues Justice. 7" Aunion IS not state, not a gov ernment which can use force to put into effect adopted laws The strength of labor union consists in the as- sumption by every member of a duty to carry out a certain line of con- duct, and the collective will to abdie by these rules constitutes. the living force of the union.
 When an individual member or a local mut1nies against accepted de- cisions, regulations and laws, 1t strikes at the very foundation of the labor unions existence. Tn such an event the union canot and must, not be len eint Its instinct for self-government demands from 1t vigilant enforcement of its basic laws. If today one local refuses. to carry out a decision of the general executive board, what is to prevent another local and third from following it's example Tomorrow?
 "The immediate result would be the crumbling of the international union quickly. followed by the break ing up of the locals and the. .wiping out of that magnificent trade union structure which has been built up at ethe cost of so much sacrifice during fhe last 30 years. There can there fore be no talk in this case of mild and vacillating course. Firm and quick action on the part of the inter national is the only way of retaining its unity and existence as we'll as the saving of the very local in question"

Bakers Boost Wages
 From $15 to $40

Chicago, III, Oct Ie.-During the nine-year period from 1911 to 1920 the Bakery and Confectionery Work CTS International Union of America increased wages for bench and ma chine hands from. SIS to .$I6 to near ly $40 week, the percentage of in creases ranging Mas high as 200 per cent, declares a statement made pub lie 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" said the board. They are ire quent1y referred to as "war wages" It was these wages that the reaction ary employing element concentrated all their attacks on in an effort to break them down, and against which militant resistance was maintained by our local unions during the past three years.
 "This attack fthe reactionary em- pIoyers utterly failed. One hundred and thirty-one of our local unions have succeeded in maintaining their 1920 wage and 5I of them have suc- ceeded in increasing these minimum wages by an average of o.65 per cent. Only 43 local unions had to contend with decreases averaging 10 per cent.
 During the last I2 years the daily work day has been reduced from the standard of nine and 10 hours to that of the uniform eight-hour day, with few exceptions where the 8Iz and 9 hour day still prevail, ofsetting which are number of localities that now have the 7 and 7H hour day.
