El reporter que no es enemigo sis

mite que los trabajadores tienen Ell de-
lecho las mismas, dijo al lfder maxi

Talks By Telephone
To Scientists
In London

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-H. B.
Thayer, president Of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph
Company, last night picked up
the telephone on his desk in a
Broadway skyscraper and talked
to a group Of scientists in New
Southgate, London.
Eleven minutes later mes
sages received by cable stated:
"Thayer got through to all"
Scientists of the company, who
have been working for several
weeks on the experiment, no
tably John j. Carly, in charge
of development and research,
hailed the feat as epoch
making" in view Of the clear
ness with which the TRANSATLANTIC
messages were received. Con-
gratulations were received By
cable from other scientists IN
Europe, shortly after Thayer
talked, among them Guglielmo
Marconi, the wireless wizard.
incidentally, one Of the cable
messages returne1 from Eng
land said: Listeners having
little trouble except with the
American language.

Publishers Oppose
 Joint Wage Contract

New York, May 1.-The annual convention of the American Newspa- per Publishers Association con- demned an amendment to the consti- tuition of the International Typo graphical Union which provides for joint wage action by printers and mailers' unions
 The resolution adopted by the pub fishers declares that this provides for sympathetic strikes. and that mem bers of the association refuse to negotiate contracts with printers and mailers jointly"
 The amendment follows:
 "Where printers and mailers' un- ions, chartered by this Q. T. U.) un- ion, have jurisdiction in different de- partments in the same establishment contracts of employment shall be ne gotiated jointly and with identical ex- piration dates, and these contracts shall contain a clause that an author ized strike or lockout in any depart ment shall automatically terminate contracts covering other departments or unions"

Seanen Bound
 Back After
 1921 Lockout

New York, May 4.-Wage increases along the Atlantic coast is demanded by the International Seamen's Union.
 This may have no significance to the average reader of the daily press, but not so to the United States Shipping Board and to private vessel owners, who started lockout against this union two years ago. The eight-hour day was abolished, wages were reduced and a general anti-union po1ic.- assumed.
 Officers of the union urged arbitration, but this was refused
 The seamen asked the board and the private vessel owners to agree to give American citizens first preference in employment This. also. was refused.
 The seamen were defeated all along the line, while the board and the private vessel owners talked about the need for Americans becoming interested in the merchant marine.
 The seanen, however, were neither fooled nor discouraged. They began to reform their lines and are now pre- pared to again give battle if their op- ponents of two years ago have learned no lesson.

WARD BAKING COMPANY
 REFUSES TO MAKE AGREEMENT
 WITH INTERNATIONAL WORKERS Decides to Conduct Business Anti Union BSa6sEThis Is of Local Interest For 1t Is 4 sfsfUpOsed to Erect Big Plant in This City.

The Ward Baking Company, oper- ating baking establishments in nearly a dozen cities throughout the coun- try, has notified the International Bakery and Confectionery Workers Union that when the present agree ment with the international expires on May I all their plants will in the future be conducted on an anti-union basis
 Not only have they decided to join the ranks of the reactionary anti union forces themselves but they are now busily engaged in seeking to have other large bakers join them in a like movement. So far they have been successful in having four large wholesale concerns in Pittsburgh who were also operating under interna- tional agreements cancel their agree ments and join them in the move have assumed the leadership in the drive to place the large baking plants throughout the country on a non union basis.
 All efforts on the part of ihterna- tional officers to have the Ward com pany change their attitude have proven futile and the final effort made just prior to April 25 resulted in flat failure as the Ward company representatives refused to reconsider the matter. The possibility of this action however, was thoroughly dis cussed at the annual session of the

 h Factories to Take Place of Citizens
BOOSTED WAGE
 GAINS ARE NOT
 BEING ANALYZED

Chicago, May 4.-Defenders of the steel and meat trusts glorify recent wage increases by : these combines, but the wage increases are not an alyzed
 The public is not told, for instance, that skilled labor in the packing plants are paid as low as AZ cents an hour, and that the muchly-advertised wage increase means but an addition al three cents an hour. Unskilled la bor has been receiving 37A cents an hour, which IS advanced to five cents an hour, or :. to 42H cents Semi skilled labor, over 37H cents an hour and under 47 cents an hour, Is in creased four cents an hour. .s,. These wages -a.s.. landed by syco plants who give nS thought to how a worker can rear family on such an income.
 The Butcher Workman, official Cutters, says the packers could not dodge the issue any longer, so "they made the shabby concession to return tiny part of former wage cuts.
 "It was nicknamed wage increases, but actually it was nothing more than the return of small fraction of several wage cuts within less than two years,''' says the labor journal.
 "The packers returned but frac ton of what should have been paid to their employees long ago. The com pany 'union,' the biggest counterfeit in industry, played second fiddle. It functioned as expected. The picked management representatives voiced the opinion of their masters. They were not on the ground to do other wise. The employees representatives did not count Had they not agreed with the management representatives, the packers, the highest court of ap peal would have upheld the manage ment ieutenants, the mannikins whose voice and vote Is controlled by the packers"

IndOrse Union Shop

New York, May At a meeting of 2,ooo members of the Actors handing manH the "equity'' shop was cheer ed for 10 minutes. The "equity' shop is the actors name for union shop.
 The managers oppose the "equity'' shop and have offered concessions if it is abandoned. But the actors know that when their union is destroyed by their own lack of foresight the man. agers will then strip them of other gains The meeting expressed these views:
 "Resolved, that this meeting ap- proves and indorses the action of the council in refusing the propositions made by the Producing Managers Association as substitutes for our equity shop policy, and expresses its conviction that the 'equity' shop pol icy is the only means as yet devised for maintaining the continued life and strength of the Actors Equity Association"
