DEMAND THE UNION LABEL

At the recent convention of the In
ternatioanl Typographical Union held
in Toronto, Canada, an amendment
was offered to the laws of that OF
gaization which would provide that
"No delegate shall be entitled to a
seat in the convention whose wearing
apparel does not bear at least eight
union labels"
AS is necessary under the rules
this proposition was referred to the
Committee on Laws, which reported
out a substitute reading as follows:
"NO member of a subordinate un-
ion shall be eligible to election as
delegate whose wearing apparel does
not bear at least five union labels"
The substitute of the committee
was adopted. In speaking upon this
proposition before the convention Sec
retary-Treasurer Hays, who is Pres
ident Of the Union Label Trades De-
partment Of the American Federation
Of Labor, had the following to say:
81 arise to support the report of
the committee on laws. | am sur
prised that in a convention that has
propositions before it asking the ex-
ecutive council to finance label cam
paigns, there should not be any word
said against any proposition that
looks for the furtherance of the use
of the union label.
"We expect to do considerable Or
ganization work in the near future.
We must do considerable organiza-
tion work in fact, and one of the best
methods of organizing that we have,
that which is the closest to us, and
most effective, is to have business
houses demand the use of the union
label on their printing. We always
demand that every labor organization
use our union label on its printing.
If they did not use it we would GER
tainly make an awful kick, even car
rying it to the American Federation
of Labor, to see that the label was
used. That being true, should we not
support the other organizations in
the use of their labels?
at has been said that you should
not force members of an organiza-
tion to do things Of this kind. l say
that the union label is one of the best |
weapons that organized labor has to
compel employers to run union es-
CdOIlSHiIeHtS IL The members OF Ia
Dor organizations would not spend |
any of their union-earned money for
any goods except those that bore the
union label, we would have mighty |
little trouble in settling wage scales
and getting union conditions.
"If the members of labor organi-
cations will not exert their minds
enough to realize what is for their
own benefit, then we must go as far
as we can to force them to do so for
the benefit of organized labor, gen
orally. Once more l say that l rise
to support the report of the commit
tee on laws"

The Logan Gas Company proposes Service
Charge of rs cents re-adjustment of it's present
rate schedule to meet relatively small portion of
vast expenditure necessary to continue it's natural
gas service and extend service.
But even modest a request may cause some op-
position to be voiced by capous critics who will put
forward such topics as Original investment" 'capi-
tai STOCK" "stock divdends," etc. elements in the
determination of what illegal" rate should be.
In order that you may be correctly informed as to
what legal rate should be and the basis of it's de-
termination, permit to advise that during the
past year the U. S. Supreme Court in deciding four
rate cases of national Importance has decreed that
present value shall be the basis of rate. We are
presenting herewith summary copy of an appraisal
of The Logan Companys property just completed by
experienced valuation engineers in this country and
compiled in accordance with these recent decisions
of the U. S. Supreme Court and of various public
utilities commissions and state supreme courts. This
appraisal shows the value of the companys property
for making purposes as $41 ,152,O43, and upon
legal basis of percent return the pice for natural
gas delivered to the consumer should be fiat rate
of 81 62 cents per thousand cubic feet.

The press reports of Senator La

many people want to know. They
are interested in the Senator's per-

charm Did he hold his audience t?
What sort of people were there and
what sort of reception did they really
give what he said? What were the
points that they applauded most?
Well, in appearance and manner La
Toilette was rather young man Of
fifty. He wore a natty light brown
suit and stock erect as an arrow
through the delivery of a speech that
lasted an hour and half. His voice
was strong and resonant, the sort
that bounds pleasingly off a sound
ing board somewhere in the back Of
the throat.
La Toilette has lost none of the
tricks Of oratory which make him the
best speaker in the Senate-such as
infections of his voice to indicate
scorn or sarcasm or pathos or deed
earnestness. Remarkable above
is his use of a delicate, beautiful

The Garden was full. The Fire

MaChiniStS IndOrSe
The B. & @. Plan
by Federated Press)

Detroit-The Baltimore & Ohio
plan of craft union participation in
shop management is now officially
indorsed by the Init. Association of
Machinists.
The machinist convention in De-
troit after a vigorous exchange Of
views on the floor voted to approve
it, over the heads and votes of left
wing minority that charged the B. &
0. plan meant the collapse of trade
uniOnlSm.
Defenders of the plan said its ap-
proval did not mean the union had
forsaken its independent character or
traditional methods Of winning its de-
mands. They said the union was
strengthened as such by the unre-
served recognition given it by the
employers. They also said working
conditions as we'll as wages had been
improved in the Glenwood shops
where it has been tried experiment
ally.
The opponents of the measure at
tackled especially certain features
which they said would cause trade
unionists to lose their class conscious
ness.
Pres. William H. Johnston report
ed u0io0 members had even solicite
busiacs for the B. & O. railroad, ir
a spirit of competition with tn
Pennsylvania railroad. The union 0,

er, who i oduced the plan ir United
States arsenals in wa time. He acts
as efficiency expert in an effort tc
lower operating costs. Leftwingors
were u~anble to convince the major
itv of the delegates that the plan
would cause trade unionists to de
velop the point Of view of the employ
ers. in their effort to increase the
profits of the road.
Trade unionist in all crafts have
been interested in seeing what action
the international convention here
would take, since the official approval
of the plan on the B. & O. will prob
ably mean its encouragement on other
roads and probably in other indus
tries.
The resolution of Endorsement was
supported by the administration.

EXPLANATORY
FRIDAY, OCTS

enumerated in the list of municipalities referred to-
If the service charge made so cents it would
be imperative that the schedule of rates for gas bs
as follows: 55c, 6Oc Csc, zoe, average rate for
10000 cubic feet of 6212c
If the service charge were made 60 cents the rates
for gas would necessarily have to be soc, 55c 60c,
Csc, average rate for 10000 cubic feet of $780,
Raising the schedule for gas would be burdensome
to the consumer and it would introduce great ele-
ment of uncertainty to what the companys in
come would be because of the danger of curtalment
of sales beyond point that would make it possible
to go forward with the enormously expensive pro-
gram of improvement and development contemplated.

thing to do with their taking it so
seriously.
There were three La Toilette points
that got the greatest applause. First
and foremost was his proposition of
amending the Constitution to require
a popular referendum before a dec
laration of war, except in case OF
aggression. Next came his repeated
plea for votes in order that the peo-
pie might recover control of their own
government Third was his demand
for an amendment to the Constitution
allowing Congress to reenact a law
by passing it over the veto of the Su-
preme court La Toilette produced a
powerful support for this demand by
showing that it had once been advo-
Gated by Chief Justice Marshall, the
greatest of Supreme Court heads.
La Toilette dealt not only in gen.
eral political concepts and policies of
national scope. He had something to
say directly to New Workers. He re-
minded them that Samuel Untermyer,
in the Lockwood investigation of high
r2nts. has discovered that a reason
for the high cost Of building was New
YOrk's subjugation to an interstate
building materials trust, which botl
Palmer and Daugherty had neglected
to prosecute.
He told them that relief from eX-
tortionate telephone charges in New
York would eventually come from
Federal action against the American
Telephone and Telegraph COMPANY.
not State action against its subsidi-
ary, the New York Telephone Com
pany.
He conterded that the A. 7. & T.
20 Impoverished the local company by
draining off its revenues as payments
for long distance toll charges, rent Of
telephones instruments, etc, that OF
course the local company found itself
obliged to apply for increased rates.
He pointed out that the Democratic
candidate for President was the law
yer who had secured these increased
rates.
However, the largest popular re-
sponse was given to his advocacy OF
public-owned water power develop
ment, with distribution of electric
current to consumers at cost, as in
the province of Ontario.
No one interested in the defeat O.
La Toilette should delude himself in
to believing that this man is physi
cally infirm, that he is slipping ment-
ally, or that the is not possessed of
a very large power over the masses
of the people, who hold a real person
al affection for him, conceived as
champion Of their rights.

We are also showing above an operating estimate
for the next two years which merely includes the
development and continued operation of old
fields, and which shows that if legal return is in
cluded in the calculation fiat rate of 74O7 cents
per thousand to consumers would be justified.
The rate proposed for adoption, i. e.. the present
rate now in effect and the inclusion of Service
Charge of rs cents and the dscontinuance of the 80
cent Minimum Charge is therefore far short of what
would be justified by "legaP determination based
upon valuation by commission court adjudication.
1t is, in ITSELF admittedly insufficient. The
for the concession the part of The Logan Company
rests in the fact that it is willing to the extent of is
own resources to hazard the chance that additional
gas will be procured in fields by production and
purchase permitting increased sales by extension of
service and otherwise, and thus make up the de-
fciency in earning.
The Logan Company has never sought to have
"high rate established and is not in this negotiation
seeking what it is legally entitled to receive but is
asking for what is absolutely necessary to maintain
it's present activities and permit the attempted de-
1elopment of new of natural gas supply that
it's service be prolonged and extended far in the
future as possible and practical
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1924-10-10

After a most careful and exhaustive considera-
ton to what form of rate read djustment would be
the farest and most practical service charge OF rs
cents was decided upon, because it would produce
enough additional revenue to afford some aid to the
company in going forward to a new development,
and extension of service without disturbing the pres
ent natural gas conserving schedule, and yet allow
for discontinuance of the minimum rate charge.
Computing the rate per thousand upon consump-
ton of 10000 cubic feet per month, the basis upon
which the rates for other Ohio communities shown
in our Ad No. 13 determined, we find that our
rate including the service charge of rs cents would
be IS cents which is lower than any of the 1O7 rates
