WORKERS PROGRESS
By william KOhn. Editor UphOIsters' Journal.

Uph0lsters
When look back and review the progress
made by organized labor well say that labor has
achieved victories that guarantee better life for the work
and chance for the education of their children
Some of the remoest dreams of labor philosophers
of twenty being realized and have be
come facts
Labor is adding constantly to its forces and strength
ening its weak points. Each day labor taking on more
Of the responsibilities and greater share the manage
men of industry It reaching out into finance and dis
tribution
Labor is conducting into every field of activ-
ty and has prepared and submitted plans social
reconstruction of society that have attracted
widespread attention.
Thus the Railroad Brotherhoods committed to the
Plumb Plan and at this time is the and logical
solution of the railroad tangle
The coal miners of America are record as being in
favor of Matchmaking the and presented for pub
lie consideration finely worked program to meth
ods of doing
However, labor has than planned has also
acted and today successfully conducts prosperous indus
trial undertakings
Farmers co-operatives, creamery co-operatives

abused land workers and have served to keep living costs
from soaring to greater heights
More than dozen labor banks have been launched
within three and being very successfully oper-
ated The latest addition is the Federation Bank of New
York. owned and controlled by the labor of New
York City with capital oversubscrbed long before its
opened for business
Labor is experiencing difficulty in administering
these institutions and is awakening the fact that within
its ranks is possesses the necessary brains manage the
wealth of the nation well the Drawn produce it.
The organized labor movement is constantly shaping
its policies and program to conform with the evolution of

BERRY WINS FIGHT
PLEADS FOR UNITY

PRESSMENS HOME, Tenn, June T.
Let us re-dedicate ourselves to SER
vice in the interest Of the Internation-
al Printing Pressmen and Assistants
Union Of North America and to the
trade union movement in general"
This is the temper of an article in
The American Pressman, signed by
George L Berry. president of the In
ternational Pressmen's union in which
he announces that the long internal
fight with Chicago pressmen has been
adjusted.
President Berry has been the target
for many charges the past several
years, and even despit the federal in
functions against him he has been
vindicated completely and the Chr
cago pressmen have acknowledged
their error. Their local union win re-
affiliate with the international, they
VIII withdraw all litigation and will
pay $4,000 as first installment upon
their indebtedness.
In announcing the vindication of
himself and associate officers, Presi-
dent, Berry indicates that the press
men should build for the future in
stead Of discussing the past. He says
a good feeling now prevails and there
is a determination ito develop the
highest possible trade union spirit for
the common good of the press room
workers of that city and the industry
in which they are engaged.
THE reflections on mems honesty
and integrity, which were largely
predicated purely upon allegations,
have been proven and the honesty and
integrity Of those accused has been
determined by the voluntary act of the
Chicago Printing Pressmen's Union
No. 3 in Withdrawing its cases from
the courts.
ut is inconceivable that there should
be further agitation or conversation
that has for its purpose the arousing
of antagonism or distrust."

EMPLOYEES PROFIT
THRU SUGGESTIONS

How many employers are there to
whom It has never occurred that they
can learn from their employees, as the
employees learn from the employers?
Being an employer for so long, a sort
of dictator. for many years, many
have ceased to learn
1t is true that they more and more
insist that their ideas are right and
that their ways OF doing things are
best, end that all who differ with them
have not the Intelligence, experience
and methods of peri rming their GER
tain line of work.
It would be a aluable lesson to
employers OF the above type to be-
come employees for a while. The en-
ployers as well as employees often get
into a rut. But being an employer
there is no set of laid down rules
to follow, but they are more or less
at liberty D follow their inclinations.
should Cooperate.
Because employers that have in
some measure made a success of their
business Is no reason for getting the
idea that they cant learn from the
men employed by them. If they try
to learn, even greater success may
be possible. Many employers that
have made the greatest success IN
their particular line of business were
at all times glad to have employees
make suggestions by which the bust.
ness would profit.
Often the men who do the work.
the manual labor, are more practical
and more economical in planning than
their employers. They specialize on
certain job while the employer runs
the business generally and often over
looks the small details that may mean
much.
The wise boss listens to his EN-.
ployes' suggestions. The wise can
often learn from a fool, just so can
the employers learn from his en-
ployes.

BANKING INDUSTRY

A financial publication of New York

immune from periods Of depression,
and that profits continue regardless
of trade conditions in other indus
tries. More of that bakers dough
Baking company stocks are at

baking companies have revolutionized
conditions to the. benefit Of the custo.

"The baking industry ranks eighth
in the nation today. 1t is one of the
few industries that thrive during De.
riods of depression as well as pros
porous times. It is a cash business.
Inventory losses are practically un-

baking companies to increase earnings
and extend their business even during
the period of general business depres-
sion following the war. There has
been continued absorption of baking

FALSE ADVERTISING
FOR SKILLED LABOR

The Citizens Alliance of both st.
Paul and Minneapolis are advertising
in all papers for men of all trades
to come there. stating there is a short
age of men on account of the propos-
ed Ford plant locating there.
The Building Trades Council Of
those cities have asked all building
tradesmen to stay away by sending
communications to building trades
councils and central labor councils.
The communication in part reads as
follows:
please bear in mind that this kind
OF advertising is all bunk" and is
a scheme of the Citizens Alliance to
keep the labor market flooded here
in the Twin Cities in order that they
may be able to keep wages at low
ebb.
Ground has not been broken fol
the Ford plant as yet, and will not be
according to Mr.. Ford himself, wheE
he was here last week, for at least 81
days, and as there is no other large
work starting in either city, with nc
prospects of any starting in the i'm
mediate future, and with thousands
now unemployed, you can readily un-
derstand that 1t is advisable to keep
away from st. Paul and Minneapolis
until conditions are more favorable
than what they are at present"

CONVICT LASHING IS
ENDED IN FLORIDA

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, June T.
Florida has revolutionized her treat
ment of prisoners by abolishing the
lash and has also prohibited the leas-
ing Of convicts. No leasing of con-
yicts shall be permitted after the first
Of next year, and all existing contracts
are void.
One county, however, may turn its
prisoners over to another county for
work on the public roads or they may
be turned over to the state road de-
partment for similar work.
To emphasize the provision against
corporal punishment convict wardens
must hereafter give bond for s2,500
while guards must be bonded for
$1,000. They are made subject to suit
for damages for any abuse of author
ity.
Attorneys for Higginbotham, the
convict whipping boss accused Of
causing the death. of young Tabert of
North Dakota, are resorting to every
technicality for their client. It would
appear that methods other than legal
are also being used in favor Of the
whipping boss, as five terrified ne
groes, all former prisoners, appealed
to the sheriff for protection. The ne
groes claimed that their presence in
the territory where the Putnam Lum-
Der company, at whose camp Tabert
died, has large holdings. would be
filled with danger for them.
