DYING HARD
Kansas "Can't-Strike" Plans
Kick" Grows Weaker

Topeka, Kan.-Some officials of
Aliens can't-strike" outfit are so
imbued with the serf idea that they
are yet trying to jail workers, de-
spite the United States supreme
courts decision.
The state free employment bureau
is a unit of the state industrial court
and is calling on the city police to
enforce low wage rates Of employers.
When a worker calls at the bureau
for employment, he is told what wages
will be paid, and if he refuses to ac-
cept the job the police are called and
the worker is arrested as a vag.
A local contractor recently offered
35 cents an hour for cement work
though the union scale for this work
is Sc cents an hour. Ten men called
at the bureau and were referred to
the cement job, but all of them de-
clined this laborious work at the con-
tractors price Most of the men are
citizens of Topeka, but even this did
not deter their march to the police
station, under the direction of the
chief of police.

REASON FOLLOWS
EQUALITY

Reason finds its place at the coun-
sci table where equals come together.
We are but in the beginning of a great
unfolding of democracy. We have
but taken the first steps, great and
wonderful and gratifying as they have
been. Civilizations grow slowly and
we shall not end all evil in our time.
If we can be conscious of progress
we have reason to feel that all is not
i'll that is among US.
But on this point put much empha-
Sis: Progress is not gained by fiat,
nor is it ordered into being by virtue
merely of law.
More frequently law registers what
is either accomplished or recognized.
1t follows more often than it ledas.
Put your faith in your own works
and see that your works are thorough,
diligent and based always upon the
needs of your own occupation and
guided by your own knowledge of
that occupation.-Pre Com
pers, before national wheat confer
ence, Chicago.

BROKERS FIGHT CON

New York.-Wall streets purity
brigade, that always insists on hand
cutting labor to its job and on incor-
porating trade unions, demands the
right to continue to fleece the people
through bucket shop tactics.
Millions of dollars have been lost by
the public since the first of the year
because of the failure of several brok
erage houses. State officials cannot
secure convictions of intent to defraud
unless they have the books of the
brokers. The New York stock eX
change assumes a virtuous pose and
calls on brokers to comply with the
law, but the law has "joker" in it
the broker can not be punished un-
less he valves his right to immunity.
OF course, the crooked broker will
not risk a trial, and the New York
stock exchange gravely talks about
constitutional rights" The district
attorney says the exchange has fought
every attempt to bring the brokerage
business under broad public control.

SUPPRESSION OF
STRIKES
Is Not the Cure for Social
Unrest, Declares DOten

Statistics, when properly inter
preted, do not support the popular
belief that strikes are responsible for
great losses in earnings to wage earn
ers or in the output of industry
Statistics show that strikes are
most frequent and most prolonged in
the seasonal and irregular occupa-
tions. Attention has been called to
the probability that this may be in
part due to the fact that the ordinary
penalty for striking, namely, loss Of
earnings, is not effective in industries
where workmen are normally idle
about one-third of the time Strikes
in such occupations are probably due
also to the difficulty of getting and
keeping wage rates sufficiently above
the rates in more regular trades and
industries to enable the laborers to
maintain a decent standard of living
throughout the year. Whatever the
reason or the cause, the remedy is to
stabilize or regularize the employ
ment.
Finally, strikes are merely symp-
toms of more fundamental maladjust-
ments, injustices, and economic dis
turbances which produce unrest, dis
content and bitterness among the
ever-increasing number of industrial
workers.
Suppressing strikes will not cure
social unrest; but will probably in
crease it. Strikes are always regret
table but not always reprehensible.
Until the social millennium is attain
ed, they will continue to occur, and
will be sometimes necessary both as
direct defense against injustice and
oppression and as the only way of
compelling the public to give its at
tention to hidden evils in Industrial
relations W. Doten, in "Waste
in Industry" by the Herbert Hoover
committee on elimination of waste in
industry.

Newport ky.-phe central commit
tee Of this city has issued reminder
to members Of the Amalgamated AS
sociation of iron, Steel and Tin Work
ers that Newport members are still
contesting the lockout Of the New
port rolling mills.
More than two and one-half years
ago this concern declared for the anti
union shop and refused to renew an
agreement with its organized en-
ployes In December, 1921, the COM
pany secured the state militia. The
soldiers stayed three weeks. Later
they were returned at the request of
the company They were armed with
machine guns and shot up the town
After six months Of this militarism
the governor was induced to recall the
troops. Since then there has been no
disorder Injunctions have been is
sued against the steel workers and
four Of them have been sentenced to
serve eight months in Jail These
cases are now being carried to the

DOUBLE Xxx
Handed P. O. Clerks In
Night Work Fight

Washington. - Organized postal
clerks who have been urging the elm
nation of unnecessary night work,
have been double crossed in the poll
ticians' most artistic style.
When this question was presented
to congress by officers of the National
Federation of Post Office Clerks, de-
partment officials assured the union
lists that "this is an administrative
matter and can be adjusted without
ACTON by congress if we are given
time to study the question" Now,
when congress adjourns, these Off
cials shift their position and declare
the matter rests with congress.
at is strange that postal bureau
cracy did not discover this night work
question to be legislative one until
after congress adjourned" said Thos.
F. Flaherty, secretary treasurer OF
the National Federation of Post Office
Clerks, writing in the Union Postal
Clerk
"To tell the clerks of the service
that the department is without au-
thority to curtail night schedules is
on parity with the other department
faux pas when an inspired expert
mathematician proved by his own fig
ures that overtime pay was higher
than the lawful SCALE" the trade
unionist said.
"It is distressing to note the hypoc-
risy of pseudo o-humanitarians who
prate loudly to subordinates of duty,
and then fail in the most important
duty of namely, fair and honest
dealings with said snbordinates."

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Sixteen organi-
cations affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor have named a
committee to work out plans for or
ganizing the steel industry. President
Gompers, of the A. F. of L., has just
returned from weeks tour, during
the course of which he met with this
committee in Chicago and advised
with it as to the best methods of pro-
cedure.
The meeting with the steel organ
izing committee was but one feature
of an unusually busy trip. On his
first day in Chicago, President Com
pers attended two meetings of the
executive board of the Cigarmakers'
International Union, of which he is
first vice president, addressed the
Chicago Federation of Labor and took
part in number of conferences with
representatives of labor.
The following day conferences
were held with representatives of the
Chicago Federation of Labor, in ad-
dition to which the meetings of
cigarmakers' executive board contin-
ued.
Five important conferences CON
sumed the greater portion Of the next
day and on the day following Presi-
dent Gompers addressed the national
wheat conference and attended a
lengthy session of that conference.
The same day eleven conferences
were attended, including one which
led to settlement of a controversy be
tween the walters and a Chicago hotel.
The next day President Gompers
met with representatives Of the
bricklayers and plasterers in a con-
ference which resulted in bringing
about an agreement between those
organizations, which if left unsettled
threatened an internicine war in
building construction of every city
and town in America, a most impor-
tant achievement for all concerned
Other conferences on that day con-
cerned conditions in other cities, the
negro exodus from south to north, and
the union label trades campaign.
Conferences on the following day
were with President Jewell, of the
