The Connecticut labor news., 1923-06-15

Judge Gary's propaganda to let down the bars to the cheapest lmml- grant labor of southeastern Europe has made him a man condemned by thinking Americans as unmoved by human considerations or the common good, a man dominated primarily by the dollar sign.
 Here's Example of Steel Trust
 Hypocrisy.
 Consider the hypocrisy with which he defends himself:
 Whatever will be said against the I2-hour day in the steel industry, in vestigation has convinced this com mittee that the same has not of itself been an injury to the empolyes, phys ically, mentally or morally. Whether T2-hour men devote less time to their families than the empolyes working less hours Is perhaps questionable"
 This is the same plea made in the day of the saloon to the effect that the I2-hour day was necessary in order that the workmen should not have time to get drunk. Judge Gary says that if the men worked eight in stead of I2 hours they would prob ably not stay at home the extra four hours and, consequently, nobody would benefit from the change. It must be hell, indeed, for self-re- specting American to work for bosses like that! No wonder Gary only wants the most defenseless class of foreigners in his mills.
 What is behind the last and con cluding sentence of the report of Judge Gary's committee:
 If labor should become sufficient to permit 1t, the members of this committee would favor entirely abol- ishing the I2-hour, day, provided the purchasing public would be satisfied with selling prices that justified it, and provided further that the em- ploeys would consent and that indus tr ygenerally, including the farmers, would approve"
 Here Are Gary's Terms of Surrender In view of the previous reports on the steel industry by the Interchurch World Movement and by the Feder- ated American Engineering Societies, one based upon human considerations and the other upon technical reasons, Judge Gary means that his gang will abolish the I2-hour day on the fol- lowing terms:
 I. When there is such a sur plus OI 1dDOT LHdL ddlIy wages can be cut and no workman will profit by the change.
 2. When the public will per init the change to excuse boost in prices of steel products.
 3. When employees will "con- sent" to any cut in wages accom- panying the change.
 4. When industry generally, including the farmers, would ap-
 prove"-a phrase indicating that, as long as Gary and the Steel Trust can, they will continue
 their propaganda to keep these groups from approving better conditions for labor
 Tn considerable contrast to Judge Gary's report is the statement og L. w. Wallace, secretary of the Feder-1 ated American Engineering Societies, ! in an address before the National | Conference of Social Work, a few days before Judge Gary read his re- port. Good Management Can Turn the
 Trick. Mr. Wallace said that 1t was not | an easy matter to change from the l I2-hour to the eight-hour day Good i management was necessary Respon- Sibillty of management as expressed | in planning, supervision and control | must be higher quality than usually prevails under the I2-hour

RAILWAY PROBLEMS

All Journal readers will he inter.
ested in the series of statements OF
railway problems which started on an
other page of this paper today.
The Northwestern Line is using the
press in practically every >.city along
it's system for the purpose of giving
it's patrons better acquaintance with
the various branches of operation, to
the end that through cooperation, sug-
gestions and study of conditions,
the full extent Of the service may be
available to all.
To many, the railroads mean moth
ing more than an established carrier
that somehow or other always seems
to be on the job to deliver freight OF
take passengers, and is controlled by
somebody somewhere way off whose
only interest is to have the depot
mans ticket sales turned in regu-
larly. Others think of the railways
only as that great "octupus" which
the dcmagogue politician is always
raving about. 1t doesn't occur to
most people that the railway compan-
les are as vitality interested in the
prosperity of the farm, the town, the
village and the city as the residents
themselves.
But they are interested, and they
back their interest with whatever CO.
operation they can employ, for upon
the prosperity of each community
through which they operate depends
the returns which they may realize
from that community.
Call it selfish interest, if'you like,
but so long as it is aimed to build up
an honest prosperity which benefits
all, the farmer or merchant should be
Just as anxious to take advantage of
it. We therefore again urge that all
Journal readers follow the series now
being run by the Chicago & North
western Ry. System in display adv.
form in this paper, starting with this
issue. At the very least, the series
will be interesting,

TWILIGHT LEAGUE DOPE
FINALLY REACHES THE PRESS

After fortnight of battle, official
news from Twilight League fronts
was released to the press last Thurs
day when an enterprising reporter
copied the score-book from a care
less custodian.
From this record, as written by
various scorers, it can be laboriously
deciphered that, up to end including
last Thursday evening, four snappy
battles have been staged.
On the first pages of the scroll a
tally of Is to IL in favor of Ander-
sons Tigers over Johnson's Wild Cats
can easily be traced.
Kruger and Elertson, of the vic
tors, set a high mark in scoring four
runs each. The cruel joke was that
while the nimble Herb. was walked
three out of four times, and boosted
easily around by hits and errors, Com
rade Herm. was forced to make Pad
dock sprints for every base. No Won
der he bought new car, to ride a.
round in the rest of the time.
Although the official sanscrit
doesn't disclose it, verbal broad
casts featured Mr.. Smuland's fielding
in the opening session. Trig., they
say, displayed great moral fortitude.
Major league stars-Scott, Rapp,
Ear,,r+ox CoIl,nc E,-;cabt ao,r M, n, hay
of them-have the fixed habit of
scooping up everything batted their
way;they just can't help it. But
not so with Trig.; he showed that he
had the will power to take 'em or
leave EN- alone; and he left most OF
'em alone.
Neat little square marks were ce-
eiphered to mean that Wilcox's Cubs
hibernated during wintry session
while Hurd's Outlaws stole a z to 2
game. Further details of the crime
were obliterated or purposely omit
ted, thereby providing excrse fer an
| other Congressional investigation.
Further along in the book a care
| fully placed series of zeros reveal
that the Cubs went scoreless in the
third game, while numerous compos-
tiles of National Highway markings
total up as ten tallies for Harry John
sons Untamed Felines.
For last Thursdays game, Z yer
teal lines grace the space opposite
Hurd's lineup, and only 8 scratches
appear on the Tigers page, indicat-
ing to our heiroglyphic enucleatof
that the striped cats lost one of their
nine lives of the Outlaw band
Captain Anderson starred, however
by nimbly evading three vicious lin
ers maliciously aimed at him by Out
| law batsmen.
Adding zip all the cripples, null
tiplying the total by the number OF
spectators, then subtracting the mean
temperature land it has been real
mean J, dividing this by the number
| of broken bats, and finally diluting
the errors to one-tenth of one pei
cent it is very simple to arrive at the
present standing of the four clubs
which is as follows:

Boy Falls Five Stories;
ClothesIine Saves Life

New York. Jimmy Marzigliano,
three years old, fell five stories from
the fire escape at his home to a cement
paved court yard. His parents re-
turned from the city hospital and
smiled, as they said they had been told
his injuries consisted Of scratch on
an arm and another on the nose, but at
the hospital Jimmy was reported in a
serious condition.
A network of clotheslines from the
back windows of the tenement where
Jimmy lives, to pole, In the rear Of
the courtyard, saved him from being
crushed on the pavement He had
climbed on a box to watch ball game
in the yard.
He clutched a clothesline and it
snapped, but the rope unwound through
a pulley, swinging him into Che railing
of the fire escape off the first floor
windows, from which he dropped to the
pavement.
