DAYS WORK IN CANADA
BRINGS LESS THAN 81

Edmonton, Canada, July ll.--Trade
unionists award the prize for labor
exploitation to the Canada creosotng
company, which has paid men as low
as 60 and S5 cents for six and one
half hours work
When told of these conditions, the
trades and labor council refused to
believe that men were earning 81 a
day and less at this plant A com
mittee was appointed to investigate.
The unionists found that the company
was paying 3 cents for having the
bark of a railroad tie peeled. The
ties are dry and the bark is hard to
chip off. Workers must remove the
ties from pile and replace them
after the bark is peeled. To earn So
in one day 100 railroad ties have TO
be peeled and handled. The unionists
visited the plant at 4 o'clock in the
afternoon and found that so ties was
the highest number peeled that day.
The worker had earned Sl.5O.
Men accept this employment be
cause they have been out of work and
are told that good wages can be made
when peeiing experience is acquired.
After several days they realize they
have been tricked and quit. Other
unemployed are secured.
The ties are creosoted for the Can
adian national railways, government
owned institution.

PROSPERITY DEPENDS
ON WORKERS PAY ROLLS

Albany, N. Y, July 11.--Pay rolls
in the manufacturing industries Of
this state during May were nearly l0
per cent less than two months before,
and a little more than 10 per cent
below May a year ago. This March,
it is estimated, the purchasing power
put into the hands of these workers
amounted to $37,000,000 weekly. BY
May the figure had been reduced to
$34,000,000, or a loss of $4,000, 600,
according to a statement issued by
State Industrial Commissioner Shien-
tag.
1T is evident" said the commits
sioner, that the trading activities OF
the state may still depend upon large
sums of money to be put into circula-
ton as factory workers earnings.
Even at the low point of 1922, fac;
tory pay rolls reached weekly total
of about $27, 100000. However, $lO,-
100000 represents the difference be-
tween prosperity and depression"

following language:
"A union labor paper is just as es-
sential to a union worker as a union
card. The worker who has to depend
for information on the daily press
which is owned by and published for
big business interests, is daily under
mining his unionism by absorbing
prejudices, on which his organization
is based. For this reason the worker
should assume the financial and moral

The ruins of the ancient Greek city
of Olyva have yielded many inter
esting side-lights on the civilization
of that remote perior 500 years BIC.
Archaeologists have uncovered a
woman's tomb in which they found a
small mirror, ostensibly used by a
woman to guide in her makeup. A
vanity case, similar to those carried
by the Goth century young woman
contained a lip-tsick. and eyebrow
pencil, tufts of false hair and a num-
Der of silver bracelets and other
Jewels. Verify there is nothing new
under the sun.
Until these trinkets were found the
modern girl thought she was in adj
vance of all previous epochs In his
tory. This find, however, will take
some of the glory from her, now that
it is known that in the respect OF
makeup at least, she is not in ad-
vance of her sister of 5000 years
ago.
According to reports given out ny
Secretary Charles NJ. Stahl, the
Champaign Chamber of Commerce is
in the best financial condition in its
history. His books verify his state
ment. The auditors report shows
that all bills were paid at the close OF
the last year, June /, and that there
is a small surplus in the treasury.
This is the first time in the history OF
the organization that deficit has not
been reported at the close OF the
year.
That speaks well for the organiza-
ton as we'll as for the management,
the board of directors and President
F. c. Amsbary, who served from
June 1924, as well as Secretary
Stahl. More than $4,000 was re-
ceived at the secrteary's office IN
June in advance money for use during
the coming year. The membership
is approximately $50 with annual
dues at SIS a member.
The organization, so far as 1t mas
functioned in Champaign, has accom-
plished much through its committee
work. and will accomplish a great
deal more as the membership IN

ms sohcItous regard for the rights of property is in
startling contrast to the disregard OF the rights OF human
beings workers arrested fined and jailed by an
injunction Judge.
Then there is on demand that workers "haye their
day in court that specific charges be hed against
them.
Under the equality process courts issue orders that
were intended to apply to personal relations o
human rights.
The law protects the meanest criminal in his right to
be considered innocent until proven guilty.
The United States supreme court now throws Its
protecting arm around the books of corporations These
must not be touched until speic charges are filed says
the court.
But note what happens when an employers attorney
tells an equity Judge his injunction is being violated
Workers are arrested en- bloc. Every right is swept
from them. They are at the mercy of the injunction
Judge who calls on them to "show why they should
not be punished for contempt"
That is what the court says but this Is what the
court means: -
YOU can not prove to my satisfaction that you did not
violate it will sentence you to jail,
There is no law court rule to guide the injunction
Judge There is trial by jury. The worker is not pre-
sumed to be innocent and the Judge privileged to give
full sweep to his economic prejudces and class hates
An act that is legal when no strike exists is base
conspiracy in the eyes Of an injunction Judge when work
ers are forced to strike to raise their living standard
What would happen to that judge if ne took this
position with horse thief with corporation charged
with monopoistic practices?
The question answers itself
When workers demand the same treatment accorded
that horse thief corporation they are accused OF
"wanting to violate the law"
The labor injunction undermines our entire system
of government.
1t is revolutionary; it is cowardy and unfair.
Under it judge not only usurps power, but he cor
rodes the popular mind to defend his usurpation.
The labor injunction has place in the life of Ame1,
ca Workers will agitate against it until an enlightened
public opinion drives it into oblivion.
