 In dissenting opinion filed by La bor Member A. O. Wharton he points out that no conference was held on this property as contemplated in the Trans portation act prior to the wage reduc ton being made. He likewise exposes the unsoundness Of the reasoning of majority Of the board wherein they state that the employees were inter viewed' and after being interviewed" they were notified" of the changes to be made.

RAIL LABOR BOARD REVERSES ITS
 FORMER DECISION ON WAGE CUTTING

Chicago, June 21.It is becoming quite fashionable for the Railroad La bor Board to reverse any decisions pre- viously passed which have a tendency to bestow any benefits of the transpor- tation act upon the employees. Its latest venture is to appeal Decision 1410 which had originally been passed on a dispute between the Order of Railroad Photographers an dthe Mississippi River and Bonne Terre Railroad, and which had declared that an unauthorized wage reduction placed in effect by the car rier was in violation of the Transpor- tation act and the wages should be re- stored pending disposition of the ques tion in accordance with Title III of the Transportation act.

tion of the program will bring great benefits to workers, Manufacturers and the consuming public.
 Invited to cooperate in the carry ing out of the program, certain of the employers shortsightedly refused even to consider the proposal. As a re- suit, the union has come to the re- luctant conclusion that the industry Is incapable of cooperative action to re- form itself and that nothing will move it except the economic power of the workers organization.
 Labor will watch the move of the International Ladies' Garment Work CTS Union with keen interest, as it may we'll mark the beginning of new industrial era, with the organized workers taking the lead in putting the industry on plane where 1t will work for the best interests of workers and employers, as well as tn epublic.
 Union iron workers in New York City have been waging successful strike that should hearten every trade unionist in the nation.
 With spirit worthy of the best traditions of American trade union ism, the iron workers have been driv- ing ahead toward complete victory with spirit and determination noth- ing can balk. Employers who are fighting the union have done their best to get strikebreakers but with little success. Enraged at their failure to 'break' the union, employers, rep resented by Waiter Drew and the Iron League of New York, have been talking loudly of injunction proceed ings and threatening to turn whole flock of court writs loose on the strik- CTS These threats have only amused the iron workers, as they know the employers are whist1ing the 'Injunc- ton Blues" to keep up their courage.
 The International Association or Bridge, Structural and Ornamental Iron Workers has conducted the strike with great ability and 1t seems only a question of a short time when even the hard boi1ed' employers will grant the workers demands for union recogni- ton and wage increase. The union has almost doubled it's membership in the last year and under the leadership
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-06-21

The situation was precipitated by the failure of negotiations between the employers and the workers and the cessation of work, is a comprehensive effort to create order in the industry and eliminate large-scale industrial waste.
 "The issue" President Morris Sig man of the union told International Labor News Service, 'is not primarily. one of hours and wages, It is ques- ton of the fundamental re-organiza- ton of industry designed to prevent its degradation. to a plane even below that on which the union found 1t. For that is what is threatened as the re- suit of stresses and stranns that have been accumulating during the past few years"
 Evils Affect All Elements, of Industry.
 To understand the present strike it is necessary to know something ofthe economic background of the women's garment making industry and of the
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-06-21

causes of the evils now affecting the industry Various elements in the in dustry are now suffering evils which may be summarized as follows:
 Workers-Increasing seasonal un- employment, with lowered yearly in comes. Breaking down of standards of pay, hours and. sanitation in the grow ing number of small irresponsible shops. A drift toward old sweatshop conditions.
 Contractors and sub-contractors- Excessive, cut throat competition and price cutting, leading to losses and bankruptcies.
 Manufacturers-Exc cornpetl- ton from irresponsible and hy-by, night contractors which gradually forces them out of legitimate, sound manufacturing operations.
 Jobbers or "Stock-houses"- quality of work and irresponsible deal ings on part of contractors or sub contractors.

of President P. Morrin 1t has forged steadily ahead, despite the fact that 1t has had to contend with its share Of internal trouble, makers and would-be disrupters.
 Of all the sins of omission com- mitted by the Congress which has just adjourned, perhaps the hardest to un- derstand is it's failure to take any ac- ton toward helping the farmers.
 Congress had no excuse for not talk ing action, as members of both branch es repeatedly direction attention to the plight of the agricultural districts and pleaded for helpful legislation. Bur Congress did nothing to aid the farm CTS and will have only itself to blame if there IS a political revolt this fall that will deprive many Congressmen of their seats.

Too Many Contractors Bring Ruinor
 Competition.

Competition.
 The causes of evils outlined in the foregoing are as follows:
 There has been a rapid growth in the last five years of the jobbers or stock-houses, who do not manufacture on their premises. They supply their own designs to some extent, and their own materials, to small contractors or contractors, who directly en- ploy the labor.
 To become contractor or sub- manufacturer almost no capital is re- quired. Machines may be rented or bought On the installment plan. Since the shop is small, little working capi- tai is required, as the sub-manufac- turer is furnished with the material and does not have to hold finished garments for the market. There IS, therefore, an excess of contractors, stimulated by hopes of large profits which in most cases do not material ize. The result is that the big jobbers and manufacturers who control the markets and the capital, have great bargaining advantage over the contrc- tor, and constantly depress his prices through forcing competitive bidding.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-06-21
to each garment produced by union

to each garment produced by union employees.
 The demands also provide that once control over the industry IS esta b1ished it should assume responsibility for sta bilized employment and should estab- fish system of unemployment insur- ance. Unemployment insurance is all ready in effect in the Cleveland gar ment industry.
 Demands are also made for a reduc- tion of hours of labor from A per week to 40 and an increase in the min inum rates of pay.
 Manufacturers Call Demands
 "Undebatable."
 The Cloak Suit and Skirt Manufac- turers Protective Association, which IS the name of the manufacturers or ganization, declared that five of the 12 proposals of the union were "unde- batable' and would not be discussed The Merchants Ladies' Garment Asso- ciation, composed of jobbers, failed to reach an agreement on any of the pro- posals and showed it's attitude by an nouncement that 1t would abolish it's labor department and cease collective relationship with the union.
 Following the failure of the nego- tiations, the union was reluctantly forced to the conclusion that the in dustry was incapable of cooperative action to reform itself and that noth- ing would move it except the econ onic power of the workers. The work CTS have entered the struggle with full hope of victory and confidence that salvation for the industry lies in their program. They believe that the rapid fall of quality is giving the industry a deadly blow and that the real interest of the jebber, manufacturer and re- taller is on the side of reform in the trade, though he may mistakenly be- 1ieve that his interest is in preserving the status quo.
The Connecticut labor news., 1924-06-21
Situation Brings High Economic Waste,

The net result is huge economic waste. There is the waste of labor power due to unemployment for a large part of the year. There is the waste of excess equipment in machin- cry. There is the waste of inefficient operation i'll the small units. The union estimates that the industry is at least 50 per cent. over-equipped.
 As the International Ladies Gar ment Workers Union is the only ele- ment in touch with all the factors in the industry and is the only element which can exercise a cohesive power, if the others will not take steps of their own accord, 1t has drafted a comprehensive program to meet the situation just summarized. The de- mands of the union include the fol lowing:
 That each jobber and manufacturer employ only such number of contrac- tors as he can provide with work to their full capacity.
 In slow seasons all available work shall be divided by the jobber and manufactur es arequally as possible among all his contractors, and by each contractor equally among his workers.
