BUYING COMPANY STOCK
NO UNION SUBSTITUTE

CHICAGO, June 19.-If you buy
company stock, just remember you
are buying it with union wages, is
the reminder of L. d. Bland, editor
of the Union Leader, published by
the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway EN-
ployes.
"You never heard of a public utility
company selling stock to its employees
until the trade union brought wages
up to where workers could lay a lit
tie money by for investment" said
the labor editor.
"From the time the Amalgamated
association began doing business on
the elevated system to the present
since 1903-the increase in maximum
hourly wage rates has been 200 per
cent. And that isn't all. The hun
dred and one provisions for improved
work conditions in your union con-
ract means more comfort to you and
your family. This interest on your
union investment would be hard to

the basis of improved health and COM
fort for yourself and family, it means
a great deal more than any other
kind of investment you could possibly
make.
"When it comes to talking return
tOn investment, the Amalgamated as
sociation brings more genuine results
to it's stockholders than any public
utility corporation in the country.
"Let none of US get it into our
heads that because we may buy some
stock of the company we work for,
that we will ever own any material
part of that company, or have any
thing to say in its direction. Indi-
vidual stock owners among the work
ers are but a drop in the bucket in
the big game.
"The greatest investment of all is
your trade union"

MUST PAY;
THEY SUSPENDED WORK

SEATTLE, June ia jury in the
King county superior court has
awarded $500 damages to an employ
ier who sued the local Typographical
union for $4,000 because six printers
walked out of his plant during the
44-houf movement in 1921. If this
decision is upheld damages may be
assessed against a union whenever
it orders a strike.
In the Danbury hatters' case con-
spiracy was charged because of q
boycott. In the Colorado case, in
volving damages in an Arkansas
mine strike, the employer alleged vio-
lence.
In the case just decided, there was
no charge of violence, boycott or even
broken agreement. The printers sus-
pended work to enforce a shorter
work day and the employer claimed
damages to his business.
The case was instituted by the Pa
cific Typesetting company. There was
no contract between the parties. The
proprietor stated that there was no
violence and that the union had not
boycotted his place or exerted pres-
sure of any kind on his customers.
His sole claim was that the union
called his employees on strike and
such act injured his businsss.
Superior Court judge Amlsh show
ed the possibilities of the Iega mind
by ruling that . business arrange
ment between q customer and the
company is "a contract by will"
! Acting on this theory, attorneys for
the plaintiff insisted that the print
ers made it impossible for the COM
pany to fulfull it's orders. The print
ers' right to cease work, according
to this reasoning, must be subordi-
mated to the right Of the employer
TO serve his customers.
In previous trial the union won,
but the decision was carried to the
state supreme court. In remanding
the case for retrial, the higher court
held there was cause for action.
The printers will appeal the case.
The International Typographical un-
ion was originally a party to the
suit, but Judge Smith sustained a
motion to dismiss the case against
it.

Ito promote the highest ma
terial progress which is the basis for
national effectiveness as well as an
agency for national service, we urge
that industry and commerce be freed
from legislative prohibitions that re-
strict development in conformity to
economic requirements. To this end
we propose the repeal of antitrust
Legislation and the enactment of leg
islation that will provide regulation
in public interest and legalize econom-
ic organization as well as the con-
structive activities of trade associa-
tions.
2.-It is unacceptable that an in
tegral part of legislation establish
ing this economic policy is full rec
ognition of the right of workers to
assist themselves in unions for their
protection and advancement both as
workers and citizens and collectively
TO carry on the legitimate functions
Of trade unions. Perversion Of the
injunctive process to apply to per-
sonal relations in industrial disputes
must be prohibited and equity pro-
cedure returned to its beneficient
service in protection Of property.
SIT is essential for the conser-
walton of national virility that child
life be protected. We therefore urge
the ratification by the states Of the
joint resolution passed by the Con-
gress, to amend the Constitution en-

legislation as win safeguard the fu-

BY International Labor News Service
NEW YORK, June 19.-Union iron
workers in New York are giving
Walter Drew, the Iron League of New
York, and the National Erectors' AS
sociation the fight of their lives.
Drew, counsel for the Erectors'
Association, has been breathing fire
and slaughter against the Interna-
tional Association Of Bridge, Strue-
tural and Ornamental Iron Workers
since the iron workers called a city
wide strike May for union recogni-
tion and a $12-a-day wage scale. Re-
Gently he has been threatening to
begin injunction proceedings against
the iron workers organization but
the strikers have gone steadily ahead
disregarding Drew's threats and wag-
ing their fight with such success that
complete victory is in sight. En-
ployer after employer has made peace
with the union and only few "hard-
boiled" concerns are still holding out.
Untermeyer Acts For Iron Workers
If the employers make good their
threat to begin legal proceedings, the
iron workers will not lack for COM
petent counsel, as Samuel Untermyer
and Frank p. Walsh will act for them.
This announcement was made by Mr.
Untermyer in a letter to Drew, n
which he declared he would challenge

Evils Affect Elements of Industry
To understand the present strike
it is necessary to know something of
the economic background of the wo-
mems garment making industry and
of the causes of the evils now af-
flicting the industry. Various ele-
ments in the industry are now suf-
fering evils which may be summa-
rized as follows:
Notwithstanding seasonal un-
employment, with lowered yearly in
comes. Breaking down of standards
of pay, hours and sanitation in the
growing number of small irresponsi-
BILE shops. A drift toward old sweat

MOUNTING TAX BURDEN
BEARS HEAVY ON FARM

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 19.-
How enormously the tax burden on
the American people has increased
in recent years and how particularly
heavy Is the burden on the depressed
agricultural communities, is revealed
in a report on taxation and tax ex-
eBpt securities, submitted to the
Senate by the Federal Trade Com
mission. The report was made in
pursuance Of q resolution directing
the Commission to ascertain the
amount and ownership Of the chief
kinds Of wealth and income sof the
people Of the United States, to re-
port upon the public and private in
debtedness the income from tax-ex-
empt securities, AMI the aggregate
taxes levied by stats and looal taxing
bodies.
This report shows that the total
taxes paid by the American people
for federal, state and local purposes
was over seven and three-fourths bill
tions Of dsllars IN 1929, which was an
increase Of 12T percent in five years.
Federal taxes constituted nearly one
half of this total. While the tax per
capita Of population was highest in
the North Atlantic, Rocky Mountain
and Pacific Coast states, it was most
burdensome for agricultural COM
munities, particularly in the wheat
raising states, which suffered from
an unprecedented price decline for
their products while the general price
level for the things which they pur-
chased remained high. The report
says:
"Reflecting the economic distress
of the agricultural population, the
mercantile and bank failures in Idaho
Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, the Dako-
tas, and Montana, increased in much
greater proportion than in the coun-
try as a whole from 1919 to 1924.
Nearly One-fourth of all the farmers
in Kansas and Iowa, nearly three out
of every ten farmers in Nebraska,
nearly four out of every ten in South
Dakota, over half of those in North
Dakota, and five farmers out of ev-
cry eight in Montana have either lost
their properties in bankruptcy or
foreclosure proceedings or otherwise
or retained them only through the
leniency of their creditors. North
and South Dakota and Oregon have
recently issued bonds for over $48,-
100000 to relieve agricultural dis
tress. Plans for any further reduc-
ton of the present burdens of taxa
tiOn should be adjusted especially

scheme. The completion of the road
up the South Fork of the Clearwater
river to Elk City is matter of great
public necessity, not only in the way
of furnishing suitable transportation
into a vast undeveloped gold mining
area, but would greatly reduce the
cost to the government in its mail
and parcel post transportation ex--
penses. Again it would save the
government in its forest protection
and administrative operations, thous-
ands of dollars every year in the way
of getting men and supplies into the
mountains and to fires quicker, than
by the present method, or pack trains.
To complete this South Fork road
is strictly business proposition for
the Government, and as one Govern
ment Engineer stated to the writer
This road would pay for itself in
ten years" Would it not be good
policy and sound business judgment
to complete this road first, and take :
up the Lewis-Clark later?

THE ROAD TO ELK CITY

The efforts of two or three Lewis
ton boosters, for the much talked a.
bout, (by them only so-called Lewis
and Clark highway, might enlist
considerable favorable interest of a
public nature were the real facts per-
tanning to this proposed scheme not
generally known. When it is real
lied that. to construct such high
way, and one that can be used when
completed, will cost more than three
million dollars, the public is apt to
look askance at such a proposition
and ask the question, why spend so
much money on a highway of this
character, when, looking at it from
its most attractive standpoint, cam
not be considered other than a joy
ride route, to be used only by those
who can afford it, and then, for only
about three months in the year on
account of snow. The great hue and
cry throughout the country today is
"curtail expenses" ''reduce taxes"
Does such a scheme tend in that
direction?
Another good and sufficient rea-
son for the abandonment of this pro-
ject, or at least its suspension for the
time being is, that the government
has publicly announced that it would
take ten years to complete it. This
would mean a constant annual APP
of Something like three
hundred thousand dollars to keep the
work going.
