By international Labor News Service.
Paterson, N. J.-An account of the
failure and disbanding of the Asso-
ciated Industries of this city is pub
lished here by the Paterson News.
The Associated Industries of Pater-
son, operating in the heart of the silk
district, was organized on similar
lines to other organizations of the
same name in various parts of the
country, all having for their princi-
pal purpose antagonism to the trade
union movement.
The Paterson News charges in it's
story of the failure of the organiza~
tions that the promoters attempted to
induce union labor leaders to "sell
out the workers in return for fabu-
lous salaries. When this effort fell
flat the disintegration of the Asso-
clated Industries followed quickly
according to the News.
The failure of the Associated In
dustries of this city is significant
nationally for many reasons, one of
which is that all organizations oper-
ating under that name have similar
purposes and operate in harmony if
not in actual affiliation.
Employers, Stung, Quit in Disgust
In part, the story published in the
Paterson News is as follows:
Thoroughly disgusted as result
OF the attempted improper use of the
organization some months ago, lead
ing manufacturers of the city have
Withdrawn their support from The
Associated Industries and the organi-
zatlon is therefore now defunct.
! The manufacturers, believing that
they had been misled, and refusing
to countenance unfair methods. have
generally lost interest.
Members of the erstwhile organi-
zation refuse to reveal the facts be-
hind the disintegration of the organi-
zation. Members have been served
with notices by Secretary Albert L..
Wyman that after May l, just passed,
the association will cease to function.
The headquarters in the United Bank
building and the employment agency
operated on Main street have been
permanently closed and the employees
dismissed.
The membership of the association
has gradually dwindled under the
leadership of Mr.. Wyman, but the
announcement that the association
has ceased to function came as a big
surprise to silk men throughout the
city.
Nobody Willing to Furnish an Alibi
Efforts to learn what the real
reasons were for the organization s
demise, were futile in so far as Sc
curing a statement from Secretary
Wyman and other leading members
was concerned.
"All, including Wyman, when asked
what the real cause of the association
discontinuing its activities, said: q
have nothing to say about the mat
ter"
'The Associated Industries has
taken an active interest in all strikes
and labor troubles for many years
but of late, the leading manufacturers

PEACE IN COAL
INDUSTRY POSSIBLE
THROUGH UNITY

Washington.-"Co Complete unioniza-
tion of the coal fields of the country
would go long way toward affording
solution of the coal problem, be-
cause it would mean the universal
adoption of the principle of collective
bargaining"
The above is one of the statements
in a communication addressed to the
United States coal commission by the
United Mine Workers of America
The communication embodies spe-
cific suggestions by Philip Murray, in
ternational vice president, and Will
liam Green, international secretary
treasurer.
Mr.. Murray suggests:
81. The guarantee of freedom of
speech, freedom of assembly, freedom
of movement.
80. The right of all workers to or
ganize and bargain collectively
through representatives of their own
choosing.
"3 The protection of mine workers
against discrimination because of
membership in the United Mine
Workers of America or any other la
Dor organization.
81. The assurance that democratic
institutions, such as the United Mine
Workers of America, will not be sub
ordinated to industrial control by the
practice of the non-union coal oper-
ators in paying and controlling depu-
ty sheriffs and constables, or by en-
ploying private guards, instead of US
ing the services of disinterested and
conscientious peace officers.
"These are the simple fundamentals
which will restore and permanently
establish the normal conditions of a
self-governing republic in these re-
gions They are so elementary and
so obvious that their absence at pres
ent seems incredible. Assertions by
the United States coal commission
that they should become effective
would commend itself everywhere to
the sound and right thinking citizen
ship of our country"
Vice President Green declares that
collective bargaining and union recog-
milton go hand in hand.
'In fact" he says, there can be nc
recognition of the principle of collec-
tive bargaining without correspond

from him and the story was published
the same day.
Since revelation of the alleged
effort to employ the western promot-
ers here, which many manufacturers
sternly repudiated, the strength of
the Employers Association has great
ly weakened until it was controlled
practically only by machinists en-
ployers only, and one of that branch
was named president. The associa-
tion was originally controlled by silk
manufacturers.

RAIL LOCKOUT COSTLY

New York.-The Seaboard air line
acknowledges its lockout of railroad
shopmen has cost 100000. If this
road came to agreement with it's en-
ployes as did the Baltimore & Ohio,
New York Central lines and other
systems, it would not have this deficit
nor demoralized equipment.

American Wages Higher

Of course Mr. Balderston is incor-
rect in saying that American labor
has kept out of politics; it has kept
out of partisan politics, but in no
other sense has it kept aloof from
political activity
The difference in economic status is
depicted by Mr.. Balderston thus:
Wages are higher in America, even
relatively to the greater wealth of the
United States, than in England A
greater proportion of national income
goes to labor in America"
Accounting in some degree for the
difference in methods, Mr.. Balder-
ston holds that British workers are
"class conscious" that in England the
worker belongs to his own caste, .
and still often removes his hat if
spoken to by a gentleman Fur
thermore he always says sir and his
attitude is deferential to his 'betters.
This does not apply in Glasgow and
it does not apply to all workers. But
generally they feel that they have q
class, that they belong to it and that
some day it will come into power. The
American worker has no such class
feeling.

LOS ANGELES BUBBLE
EXPANDED TO THE LIMIT

The Los Angeles bubble has been
blown up to the bursting point, ac-
cording to information received in
this city, and is about ready to
make the big noise, if indeed that
point has not already been passed.
For months people have been flock
ing to the southern California me-
tropolis, called by the hope of gain
ing wealth in the oil fields, health in
the over-touted climate and conse-
quent happiness. What most of
them are now getting is great
chunks of wisdom and anything but
happiness because of having spent
their money and being faced with
the necessity of getting more, which
is becoming increasingly difficult in
the city of angels. 1t seems that so
many people have gone to Los An
geles recently that work is exceed
ingly difficult to find, and when
found must be taken upon the en-
ployer's proposal. q Highly skilled
men, capable of earning large sal
aries, it is said, are working for
barely enough to sustain life and
hoping for the day when they will
be able to save enough to buy a
ticket which will carry them else
where. Because of the scarcity Of
living quarters of the most
meagre type are renting for un-
heard of prices and people who have
a little money are buying lots, erect
ing garages thereon and living in
them until such time as they may
become financially able to erect a
home. The moral is: "They all
look good when they're far away"

LEONARD NOW PLANS
TO BATTLE WALKER
BY FAIRPLAY.

NEW YORK, July 24-Benny Leon
ards next opponent. according to all
the dope. will be Mickey Walker, well
terweight champion everywhere out
side of New York. But since the New
York state athletic commission does
not abide by its own rules any titles
IL bestows carry little or no respect.
Just after the Leonard-Alex Hart
fight the writer said he would like to
be present when Tender and Leonard
weighed in for Monday nights bat
tie. What was meant was that he
did not believe they could make the
limit unless they cut off their legs.
Well, the expected happened at the
weighingin time before the bout. The
event did not take place where the
commission said 1t would. and when
the location was finally traced news
paper men were not admitted, al
though rule 40 OF the commissions
rules and regulations say. they shall
be. So. maybe Leonard tipped the
scale within the limit and maybe he
did not. 1t cannes be proved by any
fight critic Same for Tender.
AS a fight the battle was even tanner
than some of the shrewd followers of
the political and business side of the
ring game thought ii would be. II
looked though Tender had faded
and that his hands, especially his left,
had been rendered unfit for hard
punching. Whereupon Friend Benny
had agreed to conduct him through
a not too brutal evening in exchange
for the ducats OF the gullible fight
fan.
Tender was slow and never was his
Judgment so faulty since he began
fighting. He was short in his punches
from the first to the fifteenth. and
when he landed the blows were of
the cream-puff variety. Leonard got
in some hard punches occasionally,
but he kept them distributed suffi-
ciently to insure Lewis presence in
the ring when the fifteenth round
ended.
The champions footwork was more
like the old Leonard footwork than
anything he has shown in years;
either that or Lew was so slow that
Benny looked faster than he was.
And Leonards blocking. too, was of
high order. In other words, he went
through a nifty workout Of the gym
nasium variety. He showed that any
thing he didn't know about Lewis
left handed style of fighting last year
and II seemed to be a lot-had been
supplied to him.
All In all, as title bout one word
describes it-blah, And the writer's
compliments to the New York state
athletic commission.
