EMPLOYERS FAVOR
EQUALITY" BILL

st. Paul, Employers of this
state are favoring the so-called wo
mems equality" bill now pending in
the state legislature.
The national women's party first
proposed an amendment to the federal
constitution, but is now making
campaign before the state legislatures
to remove the various inequalities
against women. Trade unionists al
ways favored this plan, but the meth
cd now being employed, the workers
declare, would wipe out all legislation
favorable to working women. Organ
lied workers and their sympathizers
would remove the various evils by
specific enactment, rather than by a
blanket statute that will sweep away
the good as well as the bad.
Manufacturers could never have
thought up such good scheme
against working women" said former
Congresswoman jeanette Rankin. "If
we must talk equality, let's talk
equality of leisure, so that the girls
in industry may have the time to be
human. We can't have economic
equality as long as we have a sys-
tenn of slavery already taking the life
of women in industry. This bill would
remove every yaStipe nf nro+antion
from women"

OPPOSE STEEL GOUGE

Cleveland, O.-The chamber of
commerce declares that pittsburgh
plus" is wrong in principle, "but there
seems nothing that can be done about
it."
This harmless position will be salts
factory to the steel owners, who pro-
fit to the extent of $1,500,000 a year
from Cleveland alone by charging an
imaginary freight bill, known as
pittsburgh plus"
Under this system steel producers
charge consumers the prices which
prevail in Pittsburgh, with freight
charges from Pittsburgh added, to
wherever the producing mill happens
to be. pittsburgh plus" makes it
impossible for mills near the raw ma
terial to give the public the benefit
of any freight savings from Pitts
burgh. 1t also puts the steel trusts
mills in the vicinity of Pittsburgh on
the same competitive basis with mills
near the raw material.
Judge Gary and his associates are
stout champions of this phantom
freight bill which gouges the people
of millions of dollars annually

"ADVIS0R" UNMASKED
LABOR LEADER SHOWS UP EDITOR OF COMMUN.
IST NEWSPAPER AS STOOL PIGEON"
FOR UNION SMASHERS
Blatant Revoutionst When Called in Underhand Work
Begs That Differences Be Settled "in
COmradely Way"

New York. Morris Kaufman, pres
ident of the International Fur Work
ers' Union, has unmasked one r-r-rev-
olutionist who has been prancing
around New York with his slanderous
tales against organized workers.
The r-r-revolutionist is M. J. Olgin,
editor of a Jewish communist news
paper, who charged in his publication
that members of the Fur Workers
Union were assaulted because they
opposed the officers policies. Olgin
said these members risked their lives.
To Olgin's surprise the fur workers
asked the district attorney to investi-
gate the charges.
Frightened at his unexpected posi-
ton, Olgin called upon President
Kaufman to join with him in settling
the matter in Tabor court" that
could be created for that purpose.
The slanderer was trapped and he
knew it. He no longer was the asser-
tive, blatant r-r-revolutionist. Instead,
he sniveled and fawned to the trade
unionist that their differences could
be settled "in comradely way"
In letter to Olgin, President Kauf-
man fell on the r-r-revolutionist like
load of concrete and told him he is
a stool pigeon, that he has aided
strikebreakers and that his paper was
started to disrupt trade unionism.
"You have employed every shame
full method to disorganize our ranks
and to smash our unions" said Presi-
dent Kaufman. I'm your ambition to
annihilate our organizations, you even
dared to support the work of certain
'lefts' in our organization when they
installed scab agency to disturb an
election, crime which they later adj
mitted. During the entire period of
your existence as spokesman of the
1efts,' you have played the role of a
stool pigeon in every labor organiza-
tion which refused to give you finan-
cial support-in other words, graft.
You have done it while telling the
outside world the most terrible stories
about these unions, ignoring the very
fundamentals of labor ethics.
"Now, when you feel that you have
been called to account in a place
where every slanderer gets his dues,
you get into sleeps clothing and say
that quarrels between working class
institutions must not be carried into

STATE POLICE USELESS

ING BILL
Would Compel Labor to Accept of Tyrannica Conditions
in Minds of Employers and is un-American,
Says Bush

that the object of a state police.
though the public by propaganda is
led to believe different, is to compel
labor in the large industries to accept
any and all kinds of tyrannical con-
ditions the employers have mind to
impose on them.
The article in the official organ of
the organization referred to reads as
follows:
"As a rule we are against any ad-
ditional taxation or expense, but we
are for the state rural police bill now
pending before the general assembly.
The country districts are being OPEN
ed up by good roads and the motor car
and require state constabulary. The
escape of criminals after a crime is
easy if there is no force for pursuit
from county to county; and the fact
that it is easy provokes and encour-
ages crime.
"We believe that the bill can be

''The money is in the auto theft
fund already. Labor, who is against
the bill, cannot say the state should
be exposed to crime The constabu-
larry would be used against criminals
not labor. A state police is needed"
On the outset the article lays par
ticular stress upon the fact that the
organization is as rule opposed to
additional taxation, and then speaks
of good country roads.
What is most needed is not a rural
police, but an organization with force
and power enough to compel the au-
thorities in charge of road building to
build good highways so that the peo-
pie in the rural districts will not be
robbed for the upkeep of badly built
roads.
The one big question is, with all the
thousands of autos in the state of
Ohio, how many state police would it
take to guard them? 1t was proven
at the last hearing that the state po-
lice did not lessen crime committed
by the use of autos in states where
constabulary is maintained.
Labor that is opposing the bill can
not and does not say that the state
should be exposed to crime, particu-
larly such crimes as it was proven

By John Bush
in Newark (Ohio) Leader

Promise is most given when the
least is said" All fair-minded
people who are familiar with the facts
as regards the real object in view of
those who are endeavoring to establish
a state constabulary, which in prin-
ciple is diametrical to all American
ideals, will readily note the truthful
ness of the above quotation, inasmuch
as the promoters of the pending bill,
which in reality means the further
enslavement of labor, are the people
who in the recent past said so much
about worldwide democracy.
Practically the same measure which
was defeated two years ago has been
introduced in the Ohio general assem-
bly, for consideration.
There is in existence at this time
an organization which is creating
much comment.
1t claims to have large member
ship, and its avowed object is to pro-
mote true Americanism. The writer
notes by an article which appears in
a recent issue of their officially en-
dorsed newspaper or organ which is
being sold on the streets that it favors
state constabulary
After organized labor in Ohio and
other states was given an opportunity
to debate the subject in the state
house at Columbus two years ago, the
same bill was defeated. Regardless
of what association or organization
its members or numbers, and the OBJ
ject in view, the writer wishes to state
frankly and without sense of fear,
that state constabulary is not
American, and those who advocate or
support the passage of the measure
are not promoting one hundred per
cent Americanism.
The bill as introduced by its spon-
sor, Representative Justin Harding, of
Warren county, provides for three
troops of police which would operate
outside of municipalities excepting in
emergencies. All bills that are intro
duced by groups of men having a sell
fish object in view are always care
fully couched behind a skillfully de-
signed mask The writer has much
data at hand which makes apparent

RESIST MODERN FEUDALISTs
RAILROAD SHOP EMPLOYEES SHOW DETERMINATION TO WIN
IN THEIR STRUGGLE AGAINST PROFITS SEEKING
STOCK JUGGLERS AND FINANCIERS
What Was Strike On July s Has Developed By
Greedy Employers Who Reject Settlement Proposed BY
President Harding

Locked-out railroad shop men are
exhibiting a solidarity and courage
that should enlist every lover of JUS
tice to their cause. These workers.
numbering approximately 10000,
are now in their ninth month of idle
ness because of the sordid profits
seeking policy of stock jugglers and
financiers.
What was a strike on July 1 has
since developed into lockout by this
greedy group, who ordered their man
ayers to reject settlement proposed
by the president of the United States.
Later they rejected the Baltimore
agreement" that has been accepted
by the Baltimore & Ohio, the New
York Central lines, and more than 100
other railroads.
The fnanciers, speaking through
their agents, declare former employees
must return under anti-union condi-
tions. They refuse to recognize col
lective bargaining and will treat
workers as individuals.
The railroads debasing policy has
resulted in coal shortage that has
brought suffering, disease and death
to the nation. Only recently the
president of the United States vir-
tually made the same charge.
The shop men struck because they
were being ground to pieces between
the railroads and the railroad labor
board The latter forced the rate for
track laborers to % cents an hour
This is a sample of the boards wage
policy.
While resisting the boards assault
on living standards the shop men
were called upon to face flank at
tack by the railroads which began
contracting their construction and re-
pair work to private corporations.
AS the railroad labor board has no
jurisdiction over these corporations
the railroads trickery resulted in
longer hours, longer wages and a
lowering of working standards.
The fnanciers believed they had
evolved a perfect system. The trans
portation law guarantees them a pro
fit on railroad investments, with nc
check on the money they spend fol

which bleats like lamb to the rail
roads and roars like lion to the

No public service corporation
should be permitted to pursue the
policy of these railroads.
They can be jerked before the bar
of public opinion through vigorous
agitation. Let no trade unionist be
party to the silence policy of
