LABOR COMMODITY"
 THEORY IS RECALLED

Washington, July 19.-"The capi- ta1istic principle that labor is a com modity is recognized'' in statement contained in the Presidents veto of the postal workers wage bill, says Wm. N1 Collins, president of the Railway Mail Association In vetoing the wage bill the President said:
 'I am informed there is generally no difficulty in maintaining a list of eligi- bles to fill vacancies. There are cer- tain localities where difficulty exists * due to high costs of living and higher wage scales"
 Tn other words,'' said President Collins, "the wage to be paid, regard less of the character of service ren- dered, is to depend upon the supply of labor in the market

FAVORS NO-PARTY PLAN

Washington, July 19.-A plea by Dr. William C. Bagley of Columbia university for political non-partisan- ship was app1auded by the general as semb1y of the National Education As sociation in session here.
 The educator insisted that teachers throw their votes en masse to the po- litical organization which promises to do the most to promote education.
 The lesson for us seems to1erably clear" said Dr. Bagley, who pointed out that other groups are willing to disregard party lines, and that teach CTS and educators should do likewise.

4, ,3OO, ,OOO ILLITERATES
 CAN VOTE THIS ELECTION

Washington, July 19.-More than 4,300,000 illiterates can vote this fall for president and for members of con- gress, the convention of the National Education Association was informed by a committee that has studied this subject.
 The report states that although there are 4,931 ,905 acknowledged illiterates in America, the committee is convinced there are more than double this num- Der who either were overlooked in cen- sus taking or who have concealed their illiteracy. The report emphasized that more than 3,000,000 of the acknowl- edged illiterates are nativeborn.
 Aside from a menace to govern ment and handicap to citizenship" the report said, 'the effects of illiteracy on commerce and labor are highly de leterious"
 It was asserted that illiteracy of parents is the chief barrier to school attendance.

Bombay Textile Workers Discover Bonus Payments
 Are Delusion and Snare

nnents depended entirely on profits and that the extra payments would not DC continued If not justified by the profits earned, the committee further found that the mill owners were justified in not paying the bonus.
 In reporting on mill profits, the com mittee said that B mills made a profit and 43 made loss after allowing for the usual depreciation. Despite the profit made by g of the mills, the com mittee asserted that the results of the working of the industry, as a whole, for 1923, were such as to justify the contention of the mill owners that the profits did not admit of the payment of bonus
 Bonus FGlldcy Demonstrated
 Most of the strikers, 1t is said are now back at work, though many left the Bombay district and the mills are running with depleted forces.
 Labor leaders in the United States who have followed the Bombay dispute point out that the situation demon strates beyond question that workers who take bonus payment instead of in creased wages are making a bad n1is- take. They say that it would have been considerably more difficult for the Bombay mill owners to have reduced wages than 1t was for them to omit bonus payments. They add that workers in the United States long ago learned that bonuses are delusion and snare, hence their opposition to be- nus payments when they are offered as substitute for better pay.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-07-19

Washington, D. C., July 1o.-Textile workers in the great textile mill dis trict of Bombay, India, have discovered that bonus is a very poor substitute for good wages.
 The Bombay workers found that the bonus was entirely dependent on whe- ther the mill owners thought profits justified the extra payments and that when profits fell off, the employers had no -scruples about emitting the bonus. But this was not the only discovery made by the workers. When they struck in protest against the with drawal of the bonus, they were told by a government commission that they had no enforceable claim against the mill owners.
 BonuS Omitted m 1923
 The World War and the greatly in creased cost of living which followed 1t were responsible for the digging of the bonus pitfall in which the workers were caught. In the years following 1917, there were several strikes in the Bombay mills for increased wages. In lieu of higher pay, the workers accept ed bonuses of varying amounts, which were paid until 1923. In July of last year the mill owners notified the work CTS that they could not pay bonus for 1923 owing to bad trade.
 No immediate effect was caused by the mill owners decision, though there was much dissatisfaction among the workers who had come to regard the bonus as a settled addition to their wages, as 1t had been paid for the pre- vious five years. When, in January of this year, the workers finally realized that the mill owners were fixed in their determination not to pay the bonus a strike broke out in one mill and soon spread to all the mills in Bombay d1s- trict, bringing the textile industry to a complete standstill and affecting 8l mills employing more than 163,000 workers.
 Board of Inqwiry Named
 The strike led to the appointment of a. Government committee of inquiry, which investigated the bonus question and the contention of the mill owners that they were unable to pay bonus.
 While reporting that no warning was given the mill workers that bonus pay

UNION ATTACK FAILS:
 PUBLIC AIDS LABOR

Fresno, Cal, July 12-This city has Let by the Fresno Bee and the Fresno Republican, two daily newspapers, citizens declared that bitterness and loss of business has been the net re- plan advocates, who were told their union smashing policy is wrong.
 The union wrecking plan was initi- ated when building craftsmen failed to renew their agreement with employ CTS. Negotiations were not aban- doned, but the anti-unionists, repre- sented by the Valley Industrial Asso- citation" became active. Some busi- ness men joined the antis. Wages were reduced in lumber yards, and the association proclaimed its purpose to make the cuts general.
 Citizens outside the labor move ment refused to accept the new order, and as strike talk increased, SO did protests against the antis.
 The Fresno Bee called upon citizens to be no party to a movement that would deny workers right that others enjoy.
 The Fresno Republican took the same position. "Collective bargaining has arrived at a place of national rec ognition," that paper declared. Men of influence in construction the counA try over are for it, as well as pub licists"
 This had it's effect on the union smashers, whose plan collapsed as citizens refused to accept chaos for peace and order.
 The building craftsmen and employ CTS finally renewed their agreement, and the 'Valley Industrial Association is thoroughly discredited.

Protest Convict Labor;
 UniOnists Are Angry

Tampa, Fla, July 19.-Trade union ists of this state are angry at Gov ernor Hardee's willingness to re-intro- duce convict labor into this state. The last legislature prohibited the leasing of convicts, but this has been ignored by the governor, who has arranged to have convicts manufacture shirts for contractors.
 The governor stated that the state prison farm IS not self-sustaining and cannot be made SC. The Tampa cen tra1 body reminded the chief executive that he has dealt body blow to the state by his declaration that Florida with all its resources cannot find land productive enough to work it." If this is true, the trade unionists point out, there is no opportunity in Florida for the homeseeker.
 The unionists declare that the 1eas- ing contract is disgrace and that public opinion should make its enforce ment impossible. Practically every state has passed or IS preparing to pass legislation curtailing the employ ment of prisoners on any work that comes in competition with free labor, due to the unfairness of such compe- tition, the abuses it subjects the pris oners to, and the insanitary conditions | that goods are produced under, the unionists declare.
