GREEDY
Mill Barons Exploit Unor-
ganized in Textile
Industry

Boston.-Anti-union textile barons,
both north and south, are reducing
wages from 10 to Is per cent. The
northern manufacturers claim they
cannot compete with low wage labor
of the south, while the southern ba-
rons, located in company towns, make
no attempt to excuse their sweatshop
policy. One of the largest plants to
reduce is the Riverside ad Dan River
mills in Virginia. This concern start
ed company union" shortly after
the armistice. This was hailed as Gin
dustrial democracy" At Greensboro,
N. c., where the largest denim mills
in the country are located, the work
ers will receive 12k per cent less
wages.
The southern manufacturer is not
called upon to satisfy public opin-
ion. The northern manufacturer, with
his outworn machinery, ancient meth
DDS, and other wasteful systems, tells
the public that southern competi.
ton" forces him to lower wages.
The terrific waste that the employe,
is responsible for in the textile indus
try is shown in the report on "Waste
in Industry" by the commission o.
engineers appointed by Herbert Hoov
er. These engineers stated that labor
is responsible for but 10 per cent o.
the waste.
The profits in textiles is indicated
by President Mcmahon, of the Unitet
Textile Workers in letter to Edwin
Farnham Greene, treasurer Of tn,
Pacific mills, two years ago, whel
these workers were resisting a wag
cut. The unionist cited the corpora
tons reports to show that in the las
generation it "has paid stockholder
in cash the par value of its capital
ization four and one-half times over.

LOCKOUT STILL
ON AT KROCER'S
Company Ignores Commit
tees Communication Seek
ing to Adjust Matters.

The clerks formerly employed at
the Kroger stores and who were dis
charged two weeks ago because of
their joining labor union, are still
locked out. 1t is said that several
of the older employees have been ap-
preached by the Kroger Company
representatives with offers of rein
statement to their old jobs provid-
ing they tear up their union cards
and give up their union membership.
This the men Indignantly refuse to do
for, as they say, by so doing they
would be waving every individual
right and principle. The men are
standing firm in their right to join
any organization that they may see
fit to do.
Attempts have been made by labor
officials to adjust matters, but it
seems that the Kroger Company re-
fuse absolutely to deal with union
representatives. A committee named
by Trades Council sent communica-
ton to the Kroger Company offices
in the city in which it asked for a
meeting between the company and
union officials at which the whole
matter might be discussed with view
of a satisfactory adjustment to both
parties. The company utterly ignor-
ed the committees communication.
The lockout is still on and it is the
duty of every union man and union
woman and friends in the city to take
cognizance of this fact and act accord
ingly. At the rate things are NOV.
ing along, no doubt light will shine
in on the Kroger officials soon. Two
weeks ago the stores receipts ir
Hamilton had deep cut. Last week
the cut was doubled, and no doubt
this week the cut will go deeper. Anc
that is the stuff that tells.
At time of writing this article
thirty-two grocery stores in Hamilton
had signed agreements with the new
Reatil Grocery Clerks. A list Of
these stores will be found in another
column of this paper. There is M
reason nor excuse for buying gro
ceries from an unfair STORE whe1
there are SO many union grocer!
stores in the city.

BOSSES GUN men
Blamed For Many of The
Chicago Murders

Chicago-The semi-annual hysteria
against murders in this city has again
appeared. In discussing causes no
reference is made to the employment
of gun men, spies and private detec-
tives by big business.
The Federation News, official paper
of the local Federation of Labor, de-
clares that the Chicago crime COM
mission has done nothing to discour-
age crime in this city.
Instead of using its unquestioned
prestige and influence to bring about
a clean and effective crusade against
crime" the labor paper says, "it has
closed it's eyes to one of the most
potent reasons for the growth of
crime-the employment of private
detective agency spies and gun men.

FOOD PRICES INCREASE

Washington.-From June Is, 1924,
to July 15, 1924, the average family
expenditure for food increased in 81
cities and decreased in II cities, re-
ports the United States bureau of
labor statistics. The largest increase
was in Boston, Indianapolis, and Port
land, Me-, with 3 per cent. Cincin-
natl, with per cent, reports the
largest decrease.

the council will continue to be in good

THE HIGHLY MORAL MR.. DAWES
Charles G. Dawes has been making
speeches. Dawes has been harping
on two lines. He is all for respect
for law" And he is for the injunc-
ton judges. At the same time he has
tried to win labor support for his
ticket.
The Washington Daily News-one
of the Scripps- Howard string-has
just published an editorial about
Dawes that should be read by every
American wage Garner and by every
person to whom politics is something
more than graft or a pastime. Here
is what this newspaper had to say
about Mr.. Charles G. Dawes-and
there is much more that remains to
be told:
"It was Dawes whose bank fla.
grantly violated the banking laws Of
Illinois and made possible the fieec-
ing of 1000 depositors.

New York.-A profit of 80 per
cent on it's common stock is announc-
ed by the General Petroleum Com

FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE

FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE
Organized labor has found the
years since the slump of 1920 highly
profitable. The farmer, since the
same slump, has found agriculture
Improbable. The United States de-
partment of agriculture reports. Why
has one group of producers been MAX
ing progress, while another has not ?
The answer lies in organization.
The workers have been organized and
have successfully resisted efforts to
beat down their wages and standards
of living.
The farmers have not been organ
lied and so have not been able to
set the price of their labor, which
in their occupation is represented by
the price fo farm products. So they
have been forced to work for COM
pensation that has not yielded a com
mercial return on their invested cap
ital or a fair wage for themselves
and their families.
In organization lies the hope of the
farmer. When he organizes he will
be able to exert a measure of con-
troll of farm production, farm prices
and farm marketing. He will then
be able to defeat the predatory groups
that make farming improbable, jnst
as labor has fought successfully the
pirates of the industrial world.

Now that it seems to be the thing
and in the air that we dispose of the
various municipal plants, since the
Journal advocates the selling of the
electric light plant and the News the
selling of the gas plant, it has been
suggested that the Press, to be up
to date, get behind it and advocate
selling the waterworks plant and
throw in the old garbage crematory
at the end of South B street to boot.
Perhaps as an extra inducement it
wouldn't be bad also to add the city
hall. How much, gentlemen? Bid

LABOR AND CHURCH

Writing in the August American
Federationist on the church from the
standpoint of labor, Edgar G. Per-
kins says:
Having been proselyter in the
labor field for many, many years, and
fretting, in the days of my activity,
at the meagerness of returns for the
effort put forth, / can fully sympa-
thize with those engaged in the work
of the church who grow impatient
of progress. But now, getting along
toward the close, when can look
back and see with clearer vision, /
marvel at the magnitude of results.
There is cause for criticism of certain
factors in the church; not for the
church itself-for the church is
Christ. Individuals and groups of in
dividuals speaking in His name may
pervert the purpose of His being; it
| may be that they do not sense the
ultimate of His word. Yet these do
not reflect the church; they certainly
do not understand the multitude
Labor wants to be neither master nor
servant in the church, any more than
it does in civil or industrial life; it
wants to be part of. The message
of Christ is to all the people-all
are equal in His eyes-but in large,
measure to those Of the common herd
for there are so many of these.
"Shall the multitude be criticised
if, not knowing how it arrives at its
conclusions, remains aloof from the
church organization because it un
knowingly differentiates between the
church inspiration and the materia
organization ?"
