J. M: Your f1ance seems to be
spoiled. Sounds as If he might be an
only child. Teach him, before mar
riage, that he cannot have his own
way about everything.
Next time he becomes angry with
out any reason, take off the ring and
tell him you will put it on again only
after he learns to keep his temper.
He should be cured. if you show him
you are in earnest.

older.

Facts of kind not usually found
in the American press about British
labor and British labor conditions are
being reported in a series of articles
in the New York World written by the
Worlds chief London correspondent,
John L. Balderston
Balderston points to the difference
in the attitudes of American and
British labor towards political action.
In this connection he says:
ut is a paradox that labor in the
United States by keeping out of poll
tics, leaving government to what
would be called in Europe the 'bour-
geois' parties, has in some ways sue
ceeded better than here"

west, in a scheme to educate the
workers to sympathize more with the
cause of the employers.
Effort to Hire Labor Men Fizzles
"The plan is said to have failed
when the promoters approached a
few union leaders and attempted to
hire them at fabulous salaries to sell
out the workers by circulating their
propaganda.
ga few of the manufacturers, who
misunderstood the real motives of the
plan when they first heard of it,
dropped out of scheme and the re-
suit was that the western promoters
left the city with several thousand
dollars for their efforts. Each en-
ployer was to pay them fifty cents a
week for five weeks for each worker
in their employ, while the promoters
were at work in their plants.
Original Intent to Run Silk Industry
AT the time the News exclusively
published the story about the western
promoters Wyman warned the News
not to touch it with a ten-foot pole
as it was very dangerous. He was
politely told by the editor of the News
at that time that advice as to how to
run newspaper was not being sought

public employees or part time work
ers of any kind"
Mr. Balderston finds that this eco
nomic suffering has strengthened the
political organizations of labor, but
that it has likewise weakened the
unions "and thus tended TO concen-
trate labor activities upon political
agitation" rather than upon economic
action.
Economic Movement Suffers
Mr.. Balderston says the unions are
finding it more difficult to cooperate
because of past failures and result
ant jealousies and mistrust; nor does
he find agreement among the labor
members of parliament as to the undi-
luted efficacy of political action
through labor government.
As to industry, a revival is under
way and Mr.. Balderston sees in pros
pect something of an effort by the
unions to recoup their wage reduction
losses. Unemployment has dropped
from the high 100000 figure until
there now are about 250,000 idle.

EIGHT POINTS
Show Why Building Cost Is
High
New York Labor Official
Tells Employers Material
Prices are Responsible,
Not Wages.

By international Labor News Service.
New York City Substantiating
labor's assertion that labor is not re-
sponsible for high building costs,
Michael j. Colleran, president of the
Building Trades Council, has submit
ted tabulation of facts to the ad-
visory committee of fifteen on the
building situation
Mr.. Colleran submits the following
eight specific points in refutation of
the charge that labor is responsible
for high costs:
1. The cost of materials-not wages
is the chief factor in the cost of
erecting a building.
2. No less than So cents on every
dollar of construction costs which the
contractor pays goes to building ma
terial manufacturers, while only 81
cents goes for wages to labor.
3. 1t was the profteering price of
materials-not high wages-which
was the chief cause of the prohibitive
cost of building in 1919 and 1920.
4. Material costs, according to the
U. S. bureau of labor statistics, in
1920 were 275 per cent above the
pre-war rates, while wages at the
same time had risen only 81 per cent.
5. When material costs dropped in
1921 and 1922, the building boom
Immediately began.
6. Now that material costs are ris-
ing again, the cost of building is be-
ing rapidly increased and the contin-
uance of the construction boom threat
ened.
7. According to the latest figure of
U. S. bureau of labor statistics, the
cost of building materials had already
risen % per cent in March over March
of the previous year.
8. The profits which the contractor
makes are also a large, but generally
unknown, factor in the price which the
public pays for construction.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1923-05-18

ing recognition of the right of the
workers to organize into trade unions
collective bargaining is mean
ingless term, void of any virtue and
workers are denied the right to or
ganize and union recognition is not
accorded them.
"To deny workers the right to or
ganize is nothing more than improper
interference with the exercise of an
inherent right and the normal activi-
ties of free people"
Secretary Green reminded the COM
mission that strikes were constantly
encountered in the operation of non
union mines. He said union recogni-
tion and joint wage agreements pro-
vide the only way through which the
coal industry can be stabilized"
at may be charged by those op-
posed to union recognition and collec-
tive bargaining that if the United
Mine Workers were completely organ
lied they would strike and paralyze
the industries of the nation at will, !"
Mr.. Green continued at must be
frankly admitted if this were true it
would constitute a grave menace to
the welfare, comfort and happiness of
the American people.
Human experience shows that re-
sponsibility sobers men so that they
seriously consider their obligations
and duties to themselves and their fell
low men They hesitate under the
weight of such responsibility to incur
public displeasure and to fly in the
face of public opinion. Then back of
it all is the powerful, irresistible force
of public sentiment.
at is this powerful, compelling
moral force which, after all, settles
every great question affecting the pub
lie interest. The inevitable result of
the workings of such a plan would be
wage agreements for fixed periods of
time and uninterrupted operation OF
the coal mines"

WORKERS TO BE TOLD
OF MEXICAN PROGRESS

Washington.-J w. Kelly, grand
lodge representative for Mexico of the
International Association of Machin-
lists, is making a speaking tour of the
United States to acquaint trade union
lists and citizens generally with the
Mexican situation.
The trade unionist is thoroughly in
formed on conditions in the southern
republic, and especially with the
amazing progress made by Mexican
workers. This is the first attempt to
counteract propaganda of oil imper-
ialists and othres, who are poisoning
the peoples minds toward Mexico.
Meetings will be held among the va
rious A. F. of L. affliates.
"Another purpose is to give in de-
tail the progress made by the Mexican
trade union movement, especially in
the past five years" said Representa-
tive Kelly when trade unionists in
the United States become acquainted
with this progress, and know of the
militancy and the constructive policy
of their brothers across the Rio
Grande better understanding of the
problems of both countries will follow.
President Gompers has given as
surance of every effort to assist in
this educational movement. All
meetings will be held under the aus
pieces Of central labor unions affliat-
ed wit htbe A. F. Of B."
