PLAIN ABOUT IT
Labor Injunction withstand
If We VIM" Republi-
cans State

Chicago.-ln statement issued
from the headquarters of the repub-
lican national committee, organized
workers are notified that the labor
injunction will continue in full force
if the republican party is successful
at the November election.
According to the statement, the
labor injunction has caused ''much
dissatisfaction" but that is no reason
why it should be abolished, it is said
"The truth is" the statement con-
tinues, "that the A. F. of LIS opposi-
ton to the use of injunctions is bas-
ed upon passion rather than upon rea-
son or any conception of the wisdom
or unwisdom of this institution"
Woven into this defense of the la
Dor injunction is the ancient trick of
intimating that opponents of the la
bor injunction charge every Judge
with being corrupt, and that these
opponents even favor the abolish
ment of the injunction as originally
intended = protection of property
rights>where the plaintiff has no other
remedy at law. For centuries this
was the purpose of the injunction.
It was never used to deny personal
rights until judges of the Taft-An-
derson Wilkerson standard brought
the workers under the injunction pro-
cess by the simple trick of classify
ing them as property, and holding

Albany, n Y-Manufacturers re-

WAGE CUTS
For Textile Workers Tn.
warranted, Mcmahon
Points Out

Pawtucket, Il. Reduced manu-
featuring costs, high tariff on cot
ton goods and low cotton prices make
it unnecessary for wage reductions in
the textile industry, declared Presi-
dent Mcmahon, of the United Textile
Workers, before the State Textile
Council. This body voted to resist
wage cuts by the Manville-Jencks
Company. The unionists agreed that
the industry must be thoroughly or
ganized.
THE unorganized workers." Presi-
dent Mcmahon declared, 'are mainly
responsible for the present cut in
wages, and they must decide whether
they are willing to fight, if neces-
sary, to restore the wage cut and get
more, which is rightly theirs.
1.-The workers must resist or admit
that textile employees are not entitled
to a living wage, much less saving
wage
'"The following reasons show why
wage reductions are unnecessary:
First, increased machinery per
operative to the extent Of 25 per cent
reduction in manufacturing cost.
Second, reduction of cotton prices
by "a per cent during the last few
months.
Third, tariff of AZ cents on every
dollars worth of cotton goods pur-
chased by American consumers, as
against II cents paid for all labor.
Fourth, the manner in which cap
italization of textile mills was brought
about Stock dividends that were de-
clared to avoid payment to our gov
ernment when money was needed
during the war are now called upon
to pay dividends at the expense of
the toilers."

Extra Levy for Schools
Absolutely Necessary
If We Are to Garry On

This shows a reduction of rs mill
in the proposed rates. This is possi-
BILE because the tax duplicate has in
creased nearly $4,000,0 100000.
The receipts for the past year and
the expected expenditures for next
year are shown in the following table:
Last Year Next Year

518S24.11--Total 544726.28
Subtract $1200O.00 from $44726.28
because about $1050000 is received
from tuition for nonresident pupils
and from Section 16 about $15000O.
This leaves $532726.28 to be raised
next year as against $51SS2411 last
year The difference is more than
accounted for by a deficit this year
of $13500.00 in the tuition fund and
by the $550000 extra for the state
retirement system. The budget as
proposed makes no provision for any
is, if the attendance
increases, and greater number of
teachers must be employed, no money
is provided in the tuition fund to
meet the added cost.

BUSINESS men
ON JOB
Help Find Employment For
Citizens and Home
Owners

BY Staff Correspondent International
Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind-The town of
Clinton, Ind, made up largely of
union miners who have long been
citizens of the town and who own
their own property, has awakened to
the sense of responsibility it owes its
miner-citizens and has under way a
plan whereby more than 1000 min
ers, thrown out of work by the slump
and over-development in the coal in
dustry, may find work and remain as
citizens of the town.
Business men of Clinton prevailed
on the state conservation department
to make survey of geological condi-
tions in the vicinity with view of
finding new industries for the town.
DR.. w. n. Logan, state geologist, has
just completed the survey and reports
that the Clinton coal fields are also
rich in deposits of natural resources
for making road materials, cement,
glass, ceramic materials and pro-
ducts for ferro-silicon manufacture.
In addition the presence of gas and
oil were indicated.
With the report in hand the bust
ness men of the town have set about
to. obtain other industries that will
employ the idle miners and thus keep
them as citizens of the town. Many
miners faced the alternative of SELL
ing their homes and going into other
localities to find work. This the bust
ness men wished to avoid. Clinton
has been thriving coal town for
many years.

building supply industries is one of
the marked characteristics of the
present situation. Payrolls in these
industries are not only higher than
in periods of depression, but show an
increase over previous periods of
activity due both to wage rate in
ereases and also to much greater pro-
duction. Almost as significant is the
fact that the metal and wood indus
tries show payroll level one-third
higher than that reached in August,
1921. The chemicals, paper, paper

not SO great.

The Board of Education has de-
cided to ask for an extra levy of 2.lS
mills for current expenses. This
levy is asked for ONE YEAR only
becuase it is probable that there will
be a reappraisal of the property of
the city next year, and that as a re-
suit the extra levy will not be needed
beyond the one year. The extra levy
asked for is necessary for the follow
ing reasons:
(1) An extra levy of 1.5 mills vot-
ed three years ago expired this year.
(2) A levy of SO mill for def
cheney bonds, which last year was
levied outside of all tax limitations,
must this year be levied inside the
10 mill limit, according to a ruling
of the state authorities.
(3) The state retirement system is
asking this year for S5500.00 more
than was allotted to that fund last
year. This takes little more than
08 mill. The total of these three
items is ZIG mills But in spite of
these facts, if the extra levy for
schools is granted, the school tax
rate will be cut from S.37 mills to
S.12 mills The schools are losing in
