Workers on State
Dune d Railways
to Get Pension IS

Not4H CORRESPONDENT OF tne reoerateo freBs
MONTREAL, Feb. 1.-THE pro-
visions of the Grand Trunk pension
fund have been temporarily extended
to all employees of the Canadian Ma
tional Railways, which comprise the
government roads of Canada. A COM
mittee has been appointed by the
management to supervise the grant
of pension to employees on lines on
which pensions do not now exist. This
is temporary measure to be kept
in operation pending the establish
ment Of a general pension fund for
the entire Canadian National railway
system.
The old Grand Trunk pension sys-
tenn was the subject of big fight be-
tween the unions and the company
some ten years or more ago. After
strike in 1910 a large number Of
employees were excluded from its
benefits. The unions carried the
fight into parliament, and after the
Grand Trunk was taken over by the
government, these G. T. R. employees
had their pension rights restored to
them by the present King cabinet.
Under the existing G. T. R. pen
sion rules it is provided that any
employees may be retired at the age
of So, or in some special circum-
stances earlier. Any employee after
ten years service, who is incapaci-
tated by injuries in the company's
service, is eligible for pension. The
pension payable is based on length
Of service, being l per cent year
of service calculated on the basis Of
the highest average rate of pay dur
ing any ten consecutive years. The
minimum pension payable for a full
time employe is 5000.

Fuel Shortage

Miners Struggle

HALIFAX, N. S., Feb. ia
change has come over the British
Empire Steel Corporation as regards
its attitude toward the strikers de-
mands for a continuance Of the 1923
rates.
The fuel shortage is responsible
for their present conciiiatory mood.
Some time ago they declared that
65,000,000 tons of coal were on hand
in the United States which could be
shipped to Nova Scotia if the min
ers there refused to produce. But
the execution of this plan was not so
easy as was the talk about it. And
in consequence a general fuel short
Nova Scotia, especially in Halifax.
The few steamer cargoes of Virginia
coal, arriving here recently, have
been merely drops of water on a hot
stone.
Not only Nova Scotia, but New
Brunswick, too, is affected, a great
need Of bunker coal being noticed in
the N. B. winterport Of st. John.
Fright on the spot" too, the short
age is experienced. In Sydney, Besco
officials admitted recently that the
supply on hand was entirely ex-
hausted, the shortage causing the
closing Of the company's steelworks
in Sydney, which not long ago re-
ceived an order from the Canadian
National Railway for $4,000 tons of
rails. The car works at Trenton have
indefinitely discontinued operations
and the steelworks at New Glasgow
also have partly closed, both firms
being subsidiaries of Besco.
All signs indicate that "good old
Besco' is in a pretty fix.

Urge the FiUe-DGy
Week to Help Save
Lives of Painters
BY MARTIN A. DILLMON
(Sta6 Correspondent of The Federated Press


ST. LOUIS.-The five-day week
which is being sought by union paint
ers here, will mean improved health
for the workers, the unionists point
out. Painters suffer greatly from
lead poisoning. An extra day in the
open air each week will reduce the
danger of contracting the complaint.
Many employers are said to favor
the five-day week, claiming that the
four hours now worked on Saturdays
are not worth the expense incurred.
By doing away with Saturday
work, the union hopes to spread en-
ployment more evenly over the entire
year, thus giving the men steadier
work. There will be room for more
men under the five-day week system.
In addition to the shorter week, the
painters will demand increases of
wages ranging from 1914 cents to
5212 cents an hour, establishing a
minimum scale of $1.50 an hour, with
double time for work performed on
Saturdays. Painters and paper
hangers now receive $1.12h an hour.
Fifteen cents an hour extra will be
dohcQ AOI OuLSlQt WOTh WHCIc Lie
painters work on swinging scaffolds
more than five stories above the
ground. The new scale for decora-
tors (fresco painters) when doing
artistic work, is to be $1.65 an hour.
The present scale is $1.1215 an hour.
Ornamental glass workers, lead
GLACIERS, etc, now receive rates vary
ing from 8215 cents to IS cents an
hour, and will demand fiat minimum
scale of 81 an hour.
When the wage slashing campaign
was being conducted against the St.
Louis building trades two years ago,
the painters were the only craft in
the building trades council to volun-
tarily accept cut in pay, being re-
duced to 81 an hour from SIPS. A
two-year agreement was entered into,
but last year the union succeeded in
opening the agreement and negotiat-
ing an increase of 1914 cents an
hour. The two-year agreement will
expire this spring. If the painters
are successful in establishing the new
scale this year, it will benefit more
than 1900 workers affiliated with the
district council.

Widows Left By
Hamburg ReUOLt
In Desperate Need

HAMBURG, Germany, Feb. IL
The fighting in Hamburg, conducted
with so much heroic courage by the
workers, demanded many victims. A
great number of workers fell on the
barricades, many were arrested, and
many of them are in flight. The
families of these workers are all in
great need. They have absolutely no
claim on the state for support.
Neither do they get any unemploy-
ment benefit, since the men lost their
work thru their own fault" The
authorities say that the workers
"wantonly'' laid down their work in
order to 60 to the barricades.
The children suffer most of all. In
Hamburg today there are 400 chill
dren whose fathers participated in
the recent barricade fighting. There
are families with two, three, four
and even seven children to support,
who are in the greatest need. The
women can do next to nothing to sup
port these children. They can get
no work anywhere. Everywhere
they are marked as wives of 'plun-
derers" or Criminals" with whom an
honorable employer will have moth
ing to do. These women are filed
with despair; they live IN continual
worry about their husbands who are
in the clutches of reaction, and they
have no way of caring for their sick
and starving children.
The families of revolutionary fight
ers must not be abandoned to such
an uncertain fate. The 400 children
in Hamburg must Immediately be
given the required care and assist
ance.
Red Aid has, of course, taken steps
in this direction. For this purpose
great sums of money are needed. The
workers Of all countries must try
to do everything possible to alleviate
this terrible suffering. Children's
homes must be established or the
children must be taken into families.
We must not leave th/ children of
the courageous Hamburg fighters in
the lurch.

Of Boston, speaking before the In

1.-THE employment Of women" he
said, "has three effects: 1t makes
them economically independent OF
men so that they cease to be sub.
ject to their husbands. It rnakes il
difficult for them to bring up their
children themselves and It redile,

Overtime Pay Is
Won by Canadian
Railroad Workers
(By The Federated Press)

MONTREAL, Feb. 11.-An agree
ment has been reached between the
Canadian Brotherhood of Railway
Employees and the Canadian Pacific
Railway in regard to the revision of
the rules but the increase in pay of
1914 per cent asked for has been
postponed. The chief gain made by
the men, who are chiefly clerks and
station employees, is that overtime
will hereafter be paid after the eighth
instead of after the tenth hour. A
number of other changes in the
rules, beneficial to the men, have also
been secured. The new agreement is
now in effect.
Among the proposals made to the
c. P. r. by the C. B. R. E. was the
establishment of board of adjust
ment to settle disputes in regard to
the Interpretation of agreements. A
body Of this kind is now functioning
between the railways and six of the
big international unions. This mat.
ter was held over for further consid-
Grafton.
Negotiations for a revision of nav
and rules are also in progress with
the Canadian National Railways, but
no agreement has been announced.

Bosses Sheet Says
Employers Gold Cause
of Some Labor Troubles

The Employers News may have
shed some light on the prevalence Of
shooting fatalities among certain
labor unions in this city. Comment
ing on the recent outbreak in which
several labor leaders were killed or
wounded the February issue of the
above paper says:
"These Incidents are only additions
to the many of like character that
have punctuated the history of union
ism in Chicago. Why do such things
occur? Is it because the type of men
who make up the rank and file OF
labor unions are criminally inclined?
Is It because there is honor and glory
in being the leader of the union? Is
it because the salary consideration
that goes with the presidency Of any
union is so great that it excites the
murderous tendencies of rivals for
that distinction? We think not. I'm
fortunately, there are other and
monetary considerations inherent in
these positions in most unions, that
employers themselves have created.
Remove these factors and there will
be less violence in union elections"
Emphasis ours.)
It is as plain as the nose on ones
face that what the employers organ
means is that It is the graft which
the bosses grease the palms Of pur-
chasable labor leaders that attracts
men Of the type who use firearms TO
determine election results.

Y. N. C.. A. Is Labor
Feeder to Alaska
CdnnerH Sharks
By SYDNEY WARREN,

(Stam Correspondent OF the Federated 1re8Bl
VANCOUVER. B. c.. Feb. 1.-THE
Y. M. G. A. is running true to form.
Young men returning from the Alas
kan fish canneries tell stories of how
they were sent up there thru the Y's
employment service in Seattle. One
reports that in order to get job in
the canneries up north the applicant
had to be first a member of the Y.
M. C. A. and then preferably a uni
versity boy anxious for a vacation
job. Before he was given card for
a job he was induced to part with
$40 as the years membership fee for
the Y. The boys were sent up steer
age. Food conditions in the cannery
camps where the university boys
were employed were fair but the big
stakes promised did not materialize
to the extent expected. Anyway the
Y got its membership fee and the
cannery bosses got cheap high-power
labor, so who should kick.
Old cannery workers here declare
that the Alaska cannery bosses have
found it more profitable to employ
university and high school boys for
cannery work during the rush season
because the boys can be speeded up,
paid lower wages and there is prac-
tically no danger of any strikes for
better conditions or pay. Moreover,
then boys going north change each
season and consequently there is
little danger of any organization be-
ing formed among them.
