What Is the True Test?
BY JOHN z. FREY
Editor, International MoiderS' Journal.

What is the true test of trade union effectiveness
How can the man seeking information or the with
DOUBTS decide what form of organization and what meth
ods are the most effective 10 assist wageearners in i'm
proving their conditions?
Train loads of books and tons of printed paper ex-
pounding, defending or advocating method an
other do not weigh much in the scales of knowledge
one established fact
The test of whether trade unionism is sound and
superior to any other form of organization among wage
earner supplied by the results secured The test of
effectiveness of organization is indicated by the
hours of labor the wage rates. and the shop conditions 1t
has been able to establish The fact that the 1920 wage
rates have been practically reesabshed throughout the
country and without exceptionally serious strikes, sup
plies that kind of evidence which cannot be moved
scratched by all of the propagandss and theorists who
would advise to surrender the form of organization
which have and the policy which have adopted for
something which they tell far superior but which has
nothing to support except augmentation and exorta
ton.
The universities and thinking men for seven eight
hundred years in Europe devoted most of their time to
abstract discussions about this that until finally prac
tica clear thinking established modern science and
modern science is based upon facts which can be demon
straed The test tube in the laboratory because of the
results secured is powerful and valuable than all of
the learned discussions taking place in universities during
the middle ages.
The test of trade unionism which is the results it has
secured more valuable than all of the economic theories
which have even been propounded or propagandized.
What the wageearner wants to know is which form OF
organization and what methods most satisfactorily pro-
tect his interests and the moment he into the abora
tory of industrial experience every test proves concs
vey that is trade uniOniSm only which has applied the
effective methods by which wageearners can improve
their terms of employment 1t is trade unonism when
has shortened the hours of labor which has increased the
wage rate which has brought about improved conditions
of employment which fought the original battles to esta
sh free public school education which abolished child
labor and the many other measures which have projected
wage-earners as whole.

pany, that We interview Mr.. Harry
Taylor in view of obtaining his con.
sent to handle the labor situation ex.
listing in their mines and it was Mr.
Taylor who directed the writer to call
| upon you.
We handled the labor situation for
Mr.. Hall in his Missouri Pacific Ele-
vator for a considerable length OF
time and were so successful in our
efforts that Mr.. Hall presumed We
| could be equally successful with the
mining labor problem.
The writer understands that Mr.
Hall is in Europe, but Mr.. N. +. Car
penter of the Hall-Baker Grain Com
pany suggests that you call him on
the phone, and states that he will
give you sufficient assurance of our
ability to handle labor propositions
that you will have no hesitation in
employing our Service, should your
Board decide to allow US to handle the
matter. Kindly call Mr.. Carpenter as
requested.

The plan as submitted by Mr.. Mar
shall, or rather the plot concocted by
him is not new one. The evidence
plainly proves that the scheme is be-

and it will be employed by them
whenever dual unionism flourishes, as

THANKS 0E Mexican WORK.
ERS. MESSAGE OF M0R0NES
TO PRESIDENT G0MPERS
BY LUIS N. M0R0NES
Leader of Mexican Labor and Strong Supporter OF
President Obregon.
Written for International Labor News serice)

Mexico City, Feb. I've, the workers of Mexico
wish to thank the American Federation of Labor ana
President Samuel Gompers for the general readiness with
which you responded to appeals IN this hour OF Crisis
Mexico when the forces Of freedom and progress are
deadocked with the forces of reaction IN struggle Whcn
to decide whether the gains of the Mexican
during the past thirteen years Of continuous srugge are
be DESTROYED by the fascist marst proprietor move
ment headed by the traitor de la Huerta.
We the workers of Mexico do not feel that it Is neces
for us to urge you to further efforts in our behalf
for e know that the assassination of the most noble
loader of the Mexican movement and one OF the most
figures in the long and tragic history OF abo
Feline Carrio Governor of the State OF fucatan anu
Camilo Flores Olvera member of the Marine Union OF
Salna Cruz and Labor Deputy for that District 10 the
Federal Congress- will keep alive in your breasts as wen
as in ours the necessity for victory.
But more important even than the cause OF Mexcans
the fact that the ready response OF the American
GRAFTON of Labor has marked and decisive page IN
the annals of the PanAmercan Labor movement IN the
true solidarity of the labor movement OF the New Woru
contrast to the pickering factions that have split the
labor movement of Europe.
The LOYALTY of the American Federation of Labor to
the cause of labor on the Western Continent stands out IN
bright relief 1t is something that will not soon be forgot
fen bv labor and is warning to the reacuonary elements
of the New World that here at least will not be tolerated
the beraya of the rights of the peoples and OF UNITY ta
have occurred in other countries.
r leaders are in the field; the peasants and workers
are drilling and daily passing to the various fronts Inc
oc of the SUPPORT of international Labor and parc
sr that of the United States has animated our spirits
has encouraged to fight to the last man. For these
we send greetings and gratitude to the Amer
can Labor movement.

There are 100000 factory workers
in New York State who cannot speak
English, according to the Federal Bu-
reau of Education. Illiteracy means
mental blindness of the rankest kind.
The most helpless people in any indus,
try are those who cannot read and
write the language of the country an
which they live and work. They are
the wideopen potential victims OF
every imposition and abuse. The
trade union movement has all to gain
in them being educated at least to the
degree where they can read and un-
derstand the plain language in which
its aims and aspirations are set forth
In their benighted condition they are
a drag on its progress, and a standing
threat to the conditions established by
years of endeavor and sacrifice put
forth by Organized Labor.

EXCLUSION
President Asks Congress
Leaders to Postpone Date
Until March, 1926

President Coolidge made another
effort today to stave off Japanese
exclusion by statute on July 1, the
date fixed in the new immigration
bill.
He informed Congressional leaders
at the White House that the July
date is not acceptable to the Ad.
ministration, and asked that it he
postponed until March 1, 1926, in
order to allow Secretary of State
Hughes ample time to work out an
agreement with Japan which will
placate japanese feeling on the
subject.
The Congressman we're unable ia
assure him that his wishes would
be compiled with.
The immigration bill has passed
both houses and is now in final
process Of conference to adjust
minor conflicts.
The President was informed that
it was doubtful whether the con
ferees had the power to advance
the date, without reference back
to their respective houses. And In
view of the temper Of Congress
ON the exclusion matter, the Presi
dent was informed 1t was doubtful
IL consent could be secured.
1t was agreed that an effort
would be made to comply with the
Presidents request, but it's success
is predetermined according to the
Congressman.
