CURB BIG BUILDING
AND GIVE DWELLINGS A CHANCE IF RENTS ARE
TO BE LOWERED, SAYS A. F. OF L. BUILD
ING TRADES DEPARTMENT HEAD
Declares SkHgh Prices of Materials and Labor Due To
Builders Bidding Against Each Other

duced. Lack of building during the
war is responsible for present condi-
tinos. Material manufacturers are
reaping harvest. Rents continue
to soar.
One of the evils of the present sit
uation, according to Mr.. Donlin, is
the fact that home building must give
way to monumental building. A
workman prefers to work on big
office building because that work is
more regular and he is not forced
to lug his tools around daily. Fur
thermore, it is the big constructors
working against time who offer the
biggest bonuses. While monumental
building is given preference by every
body-bankers, builders, dealers, and
workmen-fewer homes are built and
rents continue to rise.
"What everybody interested in
continuous prosperity in the building
industry wants." says Mr., Donlin
SIS to postpone as much as possible
of the construction of big buildings
in order to check imitation. This kind
of building can then be taken up
again as soon as conditions begin ap-
preaching the normal"

OFFER BIG REWARD
ACTION IN CASE OF STRIKING SHOPMEN TAKEN
BY RAILWAY ORGANIZATIONS TO BRING
LYNCHERS TO JUSTICE
Real Hunt Begins for Men Responsible For Reign of Ter
rOr in Arkansas Last January

A $4,000 reward will be paid by
the sixteen standard railway labor
organizations, according to a state
ment just issued by the Grand Chief
Warren S. Stone, of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, chairman
of the Union Executive Association,
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the parties con-
nected with the lynching of E. c.
Gregor, striking shopman on the
Missouri and North Arkansas railroad
at Harrison, Arkansas, last January
This reward is in addition to the
$4,000 recently appropriated by the
Arkansas state Legislature for the
same purpose.
The decision to offer a further
bounty for the apprehension of the
ring-leaders in the Harrison murder
mob is the result of conference just
held in Cleveland between the execu-
tives of the railway labor organiza-
tions and committee representing
the striking employees on the Missouri
and North Arkansas railroad. This
committee asserts that the local au-
thorities are taking no steps whatever
to punish the men responsible for
this crime, that the reign of violence
in Harrison still continues so that
men are assaulted and fiogged and
driven from their homes for express
ing sympathy for organized labor, and
that, in fact, free government has
ceased to exist in several counties
of Northern Arkansas. The commit
mittee brought affdavits showing
that even the administration of JUS
tice in that section has capitulated
to mob rule to the extent that V. d.
Orr and L. A. Wise, two former en-
ployes of the M. & N. A. railroad
have actually been thrown into the
state penitentiary with the consent
of federal judge, despite proofs of
their innocence,3 when the mob COM
manded that they confess or be
hanged or burned alive" for alleged
destruction of railroad property.
According to Chairman Stone, OF
the Railway Labor Union Executives
the proffer of this $4,000 reward is
prompted not merely by the fact that
Gregor was an executive of the Ma
, chinists' Union, but also because, as
good citizens, the railway employees
desire to clean up the disgraceful
condition of crime and lawlessness
which has governed northern Arkan-
sas for the past three months.

in this section of Arkansas" Mr.

Stone said, "has been virtually ex-
tinguished by the armed mob COM
mittees melted by the M. & N. A..
railroad. For more than year un-
ion labor has been on strike against
this railroad because of the imposi-
tion of rs per cent wage cut. The
road has endeavored to maintain OBJ
GRAFTON with incompetent employees,
with the result that the defective en-
gines have dropped live Goals on tres
ties and bridges along the right-of-
way with disastrous consequences.
For the alleged burning of one of
these bridges a mob of armed men.
many of them drunk, were brought
into Harrison last January by the M.
& N. A. railroad, and turned loose
to fog strikers and their friends,
run them out of town, drive their
women and children from their homes,
and intimidate all public officials
who dared to oppose shotgun rule.
In the midst of this orgy of lawless-
ness, E. c.. Gregor, secretary Of the
local Machinists' Union, a property
owner and a thirty-second degree
Mason, was taken from his home and
hanged, although he was not in the
city at the time of the alleged bridge
burning.
"Under threats of death, members
of organized labor have been compell-
ed to leave Harrison, and are not yet
able to return, despite our appeals to
the governor of the state and the
attorney general of the United States
for protection. We are offering this
$4,000 reward in hope that we can
secure some action looking toward
the proper punishment of the men re-
sponsible for the continuance of this
criminal regin of terror in Arkansas"

Washington, D. C.-John Donlin,
president of the Building Trades De-
partment of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, heartily approves the
movement to curtail building con-
struction in the United States.
Everybody who is not blinded by
temporary profits realizes the need
of taking measures to check imitation
in the building industry" says Mr..
Donlin. eff building programs are
not halted to some extent, builders
will continue to bid against each
other for the services of workmen
and for materials until prices sky
rocket and force a reaction that will
affect all industry. If the study of
business cycles has taught US any
thing, it has taught us the necessity
of doing all in our power to keep in
dustrial conditions on normal plane
or else we must again suffer the con-
sequences of inevitable defiation.
Employment conditions are now
highly unbalanced; we must begin
planning in a national way now to
prevent future unemployment"
1t is said that bankers are an eff
fectvie group in checking ire present
mad rush in the building industry.
They can postpone a great deal of
building until more favorable time
by refusing to make excessive loans
on big building construction. This
has been done within the last few
weeks in New York City. There
building construction had increased
to five times normal production. The
building labor supply in the east was
not sufficient to supply the demand
for workmen. Under such circum-
stances it was inevitable that prices
should soar and that the efficiency of
the average workman would be re-

WOULD CHECK u. S.
COURT

Los Angeles, Calm an address
before the City Club, United States
Senator Ladd, of North Dakota, said
there is an increasing fear among the
people that the United States supreme
court is assuming functions and pow
ers that are alarming and not con-
templated in the constitution.
Senator Ladd suggested legislation
under which "no act of congress
should be declared unconstitutional
unless by vote of eight members
of the court, and no act of any SOW
ereign state legislature should be
declared unconstitutional by a vote of
less than seven members"

This is the same plea made in the
day of the saloon to the effect that the
twelve-hour day was necessary in or
der that the workmen should not have
time to get drunk Judge Gary says
that if the men worked eight in
stead of twelve hours they would
probably not stay at home the extra
four hours and, consequently, nobody
would benefit from the change. 1t
must be hell, indeed, for a 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 it, the members of this
committee would favor entirely abol-
ishing the twelve-hour day, provided
the purchasing public would be sat
isfied with selling prices that justified
it, and provided further that the en-
ployes would consent and that indus
try generally, 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 Federated
American Engineering Societies, one
based upon human considerations and
the other upon technical reasons,
Judge Gary means that his gang will
abolish the twelve-hour day on the
following terms:
l. When there is such a surplus of
labor that daily wages can be cut and
no workman will profit by the change.
2. When the public will permit the
change to excuse a boost in prices
of steel products.
3. When employees will consent"
to any cut in wages accompanying the
change.
A. When industry generally, in
cluding the farmers, would approve"
la phrase indicating that, as long
as Gary and the steel trust can, thew
will continue their propaganda to
keep these groups from approving
better conditions for labor.
| In considerable contrast to Judge
Gary's report is the statement of L.
w. Wallace, secretary of the FEEDER
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 it was not
an easy matter to change from the
twelve-hour to the eight-hour day.
Good management was necessary
Responsibility of management as
expressed in planning, supervision
and control must be a higher
quality than usually prevails under
the twelve-hour shift operation" He
concluded:
"The evidence clearly indicates
when the change has been made after
careful consideration, wise planning
and close attention given to execution
that the results Of changing from @
12-hour to shorter shift have beer
satisfactory to all concerned. The
general conclusions to be drawn from
this study are:

Washington, D. C.-Judge Gary and
his gang in the steel industry have
refused to do away with the twelve
hour day in steel. They refuse to
make progress in either human or
mechanical directions. They stand
condemned before the world. They
prefer to continue as merciless driv-
ers instead of accepting the opportun-
ity given them to be leaders.
What is worse, the American Iron
and Steel Institute makes it's report
an excuse for attacking the present
immigration law.
Judge Gary's propaganda to let
down the bars to the cheapest immi-
grant labor of southeastern Europe
has made him a man condemned 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
twelve-hour day in the steel industry,
investigation has convinced this COM
mittee that the same has not of itself
been an injury to the employees, phys
ically, mentally or morally. Whether
or not, in the large majority of cases,
twelve-hour men devote less time to
their families than the employees
working less hours is perhaps ques-
tionable."
