PURCHASE CONTROL
 OF NON-UNION SHOPS

Chicago, H., Oct o.-Kil1 the non-union shop by purchasing con trolling interest in the concern that owns it.
 Put tn non-union shop out of busi- ness by establishing union shop plants and competing effectively for business patronage.
 These are two aggressive measures considered by the recent convention of the International Photo-Engrav- ers' Union of America.
 The convention indorsed and re- ferred to the unions finance commit tee resolution authorizing the ex- ecutive council to "draw<upon the de fense fund of the international union to purchase shares of stock Tn what ever non-union shop or shops may be deemed best by 1t, to secure a con trolling interest or encourage and as sist or to establish an engraving shop or shops wherever or whenever the establishment of such shop or shops may prove of advantage in fighting the so-called open shop employers
 Under the scheme proposed the president and executive council of the union may establish separate union corporate enterprises and have full power as to stock ownership, man agement control and accounting.

LABOR BUREAU STUDY DEMONSTRATES SUCCESS OF LABOR'S WAR ON WAGE CUTS
 AND SHOWS FIGHT WAS JUSTIFIED

everyone, including the employers themselvesl
 Never were profits larger than this year And the fact that profits have been ample in previous years is shown by a compilation by the Wall Street Journal of the financial statis- tics of Al great and representative industrial corporations. These com panies accumulated total net sur plus, after all interest and dividends were paid, of $3,o6o,43I,o ,o45 in the eight years from 1915 to 1922, inclu- sive. The addition to capital our of profits was much larger than the new capital obtained by the sale of stock and bonds. The losses of 1921 did not eat into war accumulation at all. but were about equal to surplus prof. its of 1920 Thus again with such profit record since 1915:
 "G) Iabor's resistance to wage re- ductions during the depression was entirely justified.
 s(2) Labor cannot be accused of failing to contribute to the growth of the nations wealth and resources.
 "{3) Further wage increases and improvement in working conditions are justified so that the increased pro duction of the country's industries may be more completely consumed by the great mass of the population.
 "(4) Labor costs have not accrued nor are accruing at a rate to so bur den final costs to consumers as to precipitate what is popularly called a buyers strike"

COURT FINES UNIONS FOR QUITTING WORK

Seattle, Wash, Oct o.-The right to strike IS challenged by the Su- preme Court of Washington in it's de- cision awarding $2o,ooo damages to the Pacific Typesetting Company against the Seattle local of the Inter national Typographical Union and international itself
 The suit was the result of the Al hour-week movement in the printing trade Members of the Seattle local employed at the Pacific plant refused to do work for .non-union concerns. The Pacific company sued the local GOO damages. The King county su- perior court decided against the com |pany.
 The company carried the case to the Washington supreme court, which reversed the ruling of the lower court and held that when persons or firms suffered damages by reasons ol strikes they may sue the trade unions and officers taking part in the strike
 The supreme courts decision af- firms the slave owners and feudai lords conception of property rights in human labor power.
 This property right conception is the favorite dogma of anti-union em- ployerS, their prostitute press and their kept judiciary
 The right to quti work Is one of the inalienable rights without which our free institutions and American, liber ty under the constitution becom but academic mouthings.
 Under the wages system of produc- ton, the workers produce commodi ties and services for the provate profit of employers.
 When the courts fine the workers for the financial losses sustained by employers through the act of the workers in concertedly refusing to produce commodities and services un- der conditions which the workers deem to onerous they impose invol untary servitude in it's most pernici- ous form.
 That pernicious form is the com pulsory production of wealth for the private profit of employers.
 The decision of the supreme court of Washington sustains this compul sory production of wealth by leaving heavy fines against those who refuse to perform 1t.
 The Washington State Federation of Labor Is giving it's 100 per cent. support to the International Typo graphical Union and the Seattle local in contesting the reactionary decision of the state court

By International Labor News Service. New York, Oct 6.-Organized la bor's resistance to the savage wage reduction drive of 1921 was strikingly successful.
 Organized labor was fully justified Tn fighting attempts to lower the workers earnings.
 These are the outstanding conc1u- sions, reached by the Labor Bureau, Inc, as a result of study of wages,
 prices and profits in 1921 and 1922
 The study developed statistical
 proof of the success of the American
 trade union movement Tn opposing
 the wage-slashing campaign of the
 employers Statistical confirmation
 was also given of the fact that labor had absolute justification Tn resisting
 the attempt to cut wages and lower the American standard of living
 The findings of the Labor Bureau are summarized as follows:
 The average weekly earnings of factory workers in New York state, and published by the State Depart ment of Labor, which are fairly repre- sentative of wages in general, reached their top point in 1920. The drop in 1921 and 1922 was not much more than 10 per cent.-actually less than the amount of unemployment. Dur ing the first seven months of 1923, with the return of full employment, weekly earnings have returned to within five per cent. of the 1920 figure.
 Meanwhile the cost of living had gone down between IS and 20 per cent The result is that the real wages, or purchasing power, of fac tory workers is not P per cent. high CT than in 1919 and nearly 20 per cent. higher than in 1920.
 If organized labor had permitted wages to be reduced as much as the cost of living this result could not have been achieved. A definite inn provement in the standard of living of the great laboring population would have been made impossible, l lad the unions listened to the pleas | of the employers and their econom- | sts.
 "It is thus demonstrab1y untrue | hat increases in wages necessitates | equal increase in the cost of living, | or that the cost of living cannot be educed without wage reductions. The economic history of the past four Jears furnishes the proof.
 "This Is so partly because produc- ion has increased. The Federal Re erve Board publishes an index of in basic industries which, when compared with the increase of population, shows that I67 per cent. nore goods are now being produced or every man, woman and child in he country than were produced in oIo If the wage earners had not larger purchasing power, hey could not have furnished the market for these goods. The policy ,f the trade union movement, carried ut against bitter hostility of the em- oloyers, has proved benefit to

TRADE COMMISSION SEEKS TO END STEEL
 INDUSTRIES PITTSBURGH PLUS' GRAFT
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service.
 Washington, D. C., Oct Glow the steel industry, which long has robbed the worker of money and leis- ure by low wages and the I2-hour day, IS also vlctlmizing the farmer, IS being revealed by the Federal Trade Commission, in an investigation of the Pittsburgh plus" plan.
 The Federal Trade Commission Is seklng to put an end to Pittsburgh Plus" which IS a system enforced by the steel industry whereby steel man ufactured outside of Pittsburgh IS sold at the Pittsburgh base" price, plus the cost of purely imaginary freight from Pittsburgh to destina- tion. Thus, if man in a midwest city buys steel made in the same city, he pays the cost of shipping the steel from Pittsburgh to his town, though the steel may never have been any where near Pittsburgh.
 Pittsburgh plus" 1t has been esti- mated, imposes a tax of $5o,ooo, 900 o nthe farmers of the nation. The scheme hits the farmers on a great number of commodities into which steel enters. Agricultural inp1e- ments are sky-high in price because of Pittsburgh plus" Barbed wire and wire nails, extensively used on farms, are high priced on the same account.
 James B. Howard, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation, estimates that nearly two million farms in eleven midwestern states utilize, on the average, ton of steel year each. The steel sold to these farmers from Chicago, where 1t Is mostly produced, costs them an aver age of $7.6o ton for fictitious freight, because, though made at Chi cago, 1t carries Pittsburgh plus charge This means that the farmers Ill the II states pay something like $2o, ooo as extra tribute to the steel interests.
 Ii is estimate dtllat the Pittsburgh plus plan costs the farmers at least $5o,ooo,ooo and thai 1t takes a toll of $75 ,ooo, 900 to $Ioo,ooo, ,ooo from the steel consumers of the country. The cost of building roads and steel build ings is gratly increased by Pitts burgh plus"
 For more than a year, the Fed eral Trade Commission has been ir- vestigating the Pittsburgh plus" graft. The United States Steel Cor poration and the independent com panIes have made a vigorous defense of Pittsburgh plus" but it is be- lieved the trade commission will is sue an order abolishing the plan The steel industry, 1t is predicted. will not give up sPittsburgh plus" without a hard fight and 1t will very likely take the case to the United States Su- preme Court.
 Pittsburgh plus" is big issue in the west and four staes are fighting the plan and are giving active sup port to the trade commissions cam paign to end the practice

Parliamentary System
 Webbing In Europe

Paris, France, Oct. 6.-Parliamentarp institutions are weakening i'll Europe and force taking their place, according to Andre Tardieu, longtime member of the French parliament and one of the outstanding public men of France,
 Tardieu points to the insurrections and dictatorships that have saddled themselves upon the peolpe of Europe since 1917 as proof of his contention.
 First came the Lenine- Trotsky re- gi1ne in Russia, then Greece with two revolutions in four years, Bulgaria with two, the overthrow of constitutional government in Italy by the fascist army. and finally the recent military coup d'etat in Spain.
 Tt Is clear,' concludes Tardieu "that if the parliamentary system is to last it must be reformed and amended"
