SWEDEN PLANS
WORK PROGRAM
FOR JOBLESS

BY International Labor News Service
Washington, ID. C.-Reports receiv-
ed at the headquarters of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor here say
that the government of Sweden has
appointed a committee to cooperate
with the ministry of social affairs in
developing a program to mitigate un-
employment The committee, which
includes two representatives of the
employers, will devote special atten-
tion to an investigation into the pos
sibility of undertaking government
work on a large scale to mitigate
acute unemployment. This is the pro-
posal of the American Federation of
Labor, and is one of labor's demands
submitted to the political party con-
ventions in 1924
The Swedish minister of social
affairs states that the system of pub
lie works on a large scale to relieve
unemployment is particularly suited
to Swedish conditions because of the
big road construction and forestry
schemes whcih can be developed there.

PICKET BAN
Recalled By Big Profits Re-
ported BY Steel FOundries

New York.-A net profit of So, $685.
706 for the first nine months of 1924,
after all charges and federal taxes
have been met, is reported by the
American steel foundries.
This corporation was connected
with supreme court decision, three
years ago, that picketing shall be un-
der control of the judiciary and that
as a general rule one picket at each
factory gate shall be sufficient. over
courts have used this decision in
strikes where workers swarm four
and five abreast out of factories and
work shops.
Employees at the steel foundries
plant at Granite City, ILL.,, refused to
accept wage cut several years ago
and were enjoined from picketing by
a federal district court. They appeal
ed on the ground that the Clayton
law recognizes the right to picket
Chief Justice Taft made the one
picket decision and laid down the
principle that picketing shall be un-
der the jurisdiction of the courts.
This decision, however, has un-
doubtedly been weakened by the su-
preme courts recent decision that
strikers charged with criminal con-
tempt are entitled to trial by jury.

who, speaking at communist con
gress in Germany, complained of the
many difficulties now besetting COM
munist trade union work, and said
that communist action in the trade
unions was 'unsystematic and undis-
ciplined' They had a great deal of
trouble, he added, with those COM
munist unions which had broken away
and established their independence.
Another delegate to the same con-
ference was very anxious that some
thing no matter what, should be done
to set the communist movement on
its legs again; either concentration on
factory "cells" or revival of the
Works councils agitation, or some
other device absolutely must be adopt

Aim to Win Farmers
IN Italy, the communists have

more advanced and class-conscious
workers, and they are therefore con-
centrating on land-workers and small
peasant proprietors. This is unfortu-

The Associated Industries, which

PRICE STANDARD
Is Not Wages, But What
the People Will Pay"
Says Lockwood

Washington-Th theory that high
wages are responsible for high prices
is the profiteer's alibi, but this was
attacked from an unexpected quarter
in the recent campaign.
The republican national committee
circulated a four-apeg pamphlet en-
titled "Some Plain Facts About Pro-
lection and Prosperity" The pamph-
let emphasized that HIGH PRICES
ARE BASED ON WHAT THE MAR
KET WILL BEAR, AND NOT UPON
PRODUCTION COSTS.
In defending his position that the
tariff does not "add nickel to an
Americans cost of living" the author,
George g. Lockwood, found it neces-
sary to expose profteers and to shat
ter their favorite defense-that high
wages cause high prices. Mr.. Lock
wood insisted that PRICES ARE
BASED ON WHAT THE PEOPLE
CAN PAY. With astonishing frank
ness, he said:
'The peculiarly ignorant assump-
ton of the -protectionist is that
prices paid by consumers are based
upon production costs. The truth is,
of course, that they are merely fixed,
in most instances, by what the market
will bear.
Permit the importer to enter the
American market without payment of
duty on given commodity, and he
does not sell in this market at the
foreign price plus freight and fixed
percentage of profit. He merely un-
dersells the American producer just
enough to get the business.
'The wholesaler and retailer do not
deliver commodities to the consumer
at lower price merely because they
can buy them more cheaply abroad
than at home. They charge what the
people will pay, and the price is reg
ulated by the purchasing power of the
people,

Washington, d. c. Communist
trade unionism is waning, reports the
International Federation of Trade
Unions from its headquarters in Am
sterdam, Holland A recent bulletin
of the federation says:
Hand in hand with the general de-
cline in the membership of the vari-
Gus communist parties goes a decline
in the membership of communist
trade unions in many of those coun-
tries where these have an independent
existence. These countries include
Czechosloviakia, Holland and France,
and the above remark is especially
Applicable to northern France. AT
the time of the trade union split in
France, the communist unions of the
department du Nord' had $1,000
members; now, according to the re-
port submitted at the last congress,
they have only 10000. (The member
ship of the older trade unions has
risen in the same proportion.)
Red" Ranks Split
"One of the causes of the decline is
undoubtedly the divisions within the
communist ranks. As in Germany,
sectarianism and jealousy abound In
Germany, indeed, the divisions have
gone so far that there may even be
said to be a split among the splitters !;
those leaders which have fallen into
disfayor in Moscow have now begun
the issue of publication of their
own (Which was promptly banned by

France would seem to be treading
the same road, judging from a recent
manifesto published by the National
Council of the Unitary or Communist
Trade Unions Of France, in which
there are bitter complaints of the
anarchical and disruptive activities of
the minority, their attempts to secure
autonomy, and their recent threat to
withhold their contributions. The com

constitutes "a grave reflection" on the
bureau. Then the Monitor goes on
with the following gem of prejudiced
and lying argument:
There is one grain of truth in the
article, however, and it is the basis of
the entire agitation for this so-called
'child-labor' amendment. We refer to
that section which says that the
amendment will arbitrarily remove a
big labor element That is why or

Organized labor alone vii be the

II year old boys, now engaged in
learning a profitable trade or giving
the aid they owe to their parents by
helping out with the haying, blowing,
etc, on the farm, will be legislated
into life Of Incidence. Organized
labor knows that this will cause a
labor shortage, so that it will be jus
tilted in calling for wage advances all
down the line; that it will kill appren-
tice training and bring about an acute
and almost critical situation when the
future is considered"
The utter absurdity of the state
ments made in the foregoing is appar-
ent when the proposed amendment is
read 1t simply provides that 1.-The
congress shall have power to limit,
regulate, and prohibit the labor of
persons under l8 years of age" The
amendment is simply an enabling act

Greater Understanding
of Labor's Purposes and
Aims Than Ever Before

BY International Labor News Service.
FL P;.so, Tex-If labor is not to
go backward, it must forge onward.
There is today greater understand
ing of the aims of labor than ever
before.
Industry must solve its own prob
lens and find its way through the
difficulties that beset it.
Democracy in industry implies and
involves the participation of every
useful element in industry.
The foregoing are some of the out
standing paints made by the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor in its report to the federation's
forty fourth annual convention, held
here. The report points out that the
year since the Portland, Ore, conven-
ton of 1923 has seen a steady for
ward march of organized labor and a
cheering growth of constructive and
progressive thought in the nation.
Organization Gain is Seen
"The year," says the executive
council III its introduction to the re-
port, "has witnessed many dramatic
developments affecting wage earners
and the labor movement itself has wit
messed a steady progressive move
ment toward better organization, a
great influence on our whole social
life in all its important aspects.
at is with immense satisfaction
that we note the growth of construc-
tive and progressive thought on every
hand, perhaps the healthiest sign on
our whole horizon. 1t is obvious that
there is today greater understanding
of the aims of labor than ever before,
a greater and deeper sympathy with
labor's purposes and aspirations and a
finer spirit of cooperation.
Educators, to cite an example,
have arrived at better understand
ing of labor and they have during
the year more than ever displayed
their deep interest by inquiry at the
headquarters of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor for information and
counsel, as well as regarding meth
DDS by which they might be helpful.
Labor's Position Wins New Friends
"There has been marked weaken
ing of the cold wall of bigoted op-
position on every hand Labor's po-
sition has won new friends and de-
tenders and has challenged the ad-
miration and sympathy of great num-
bers who have during the year come
to a better understanding of our
movement.
'It is not only the policy of our
movement regarding what are gen
orally known as purely labor meas
ures that has won for us this grow
ing understanding and friendship; the
position of our movement on broad
measures of social and industrial
progress has been equally productive
of understanding and goodwill.
