WHAT CONGRESS DID

The recently adjourned Congress
passed the restrictive immigration
act and the federal child labor amend
ment. The soldiers compensation
bill was passed over the presidents
veto. A wage increase of 100000
900 for postal employees was vetoed
by the President on the ground of
government economy" The Mel
Ion tax bill, a favorite administrative
measure was defeated. All farm leg
.islation was ignored, as was the How
ell-Harkley bill, which would repeal
the labor sections of the transporta.
ton act and set up mediation and
Cancellation methods.
The session was marked by party
irregularity. Party discipline was de-
stroyed, and there was friction with
the executive branch.
Investigations and probes brought
much feeling. Many Irregularities
were exposed and three cabinet Off
Gals resigned. Early in the session
the house progressive forces formed
a coalition and liberalized the rules.
This was blow to standpatism and
made defeat of the Mellon tax bill
possible. In the Senate, turmoil was
continuous. The progressives con-
trolled on many occasions. They took
the tax question out of the hands of
the administration body and forced a
compromise.
An appropriation bill that carried
wage grants to thousands of federal
field employees failed to pass in the
closing hours. These workers also
lose their s24O annual bonus. The
Federation of Federal Employees esti-
mates the workers will lose $25 ,OOO,-
600. Senator Smoot is blamed by the
union for the hardships that will en-
sue.

SAVE CLOAK INDUSTRY

By a referendum vote the thou
sands of cloakmakers empowered
their officials to call a strike when
negotiations failed.
The workers are asking that the
cloak industry be reorganized along
humane lines. The jobber is the big
factor, and practically controls the
industry. He is, in fact, a manufac-
turer whose goods are produced un-
der a system that means the low
est bidder. This work has destroyed
hygienic work rooms and encourages
sweat-shop methods.
Under this system, say the New
York World, "has come demoraliza-
ton, with no manufacturer knowing
the labor costs of his competitor or
competent forecast of his own; the
law of the jungle rules, with the rec
ord written, in part, in the files of

Union iron workers in New York
City have been waging a 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 moth
ing can balk. Employers who are
fighting the union have done their
best to get strike-breakers but with
little success. Enraged at their fail
ure to "break" the union, the en-
ployers, represented by Walter Drew
and the Iron League of New York,
have been talking loudly of injunc-
ton proceedings and threatening to
turn a whole flock of court writs
loose on the strikers. These threats
have only amused the iron workers,

By The Way

The international Ladies' Garment
Workers Union is not afraid to tao.
kle the biggest kind of problem.
With courage that seems lacking
in other elements of the women's
garment making trade, the union
proposes to remedy evils that are
seriously threatening the welfare of
the industry. It has drafted COM
prehensive and constructive program
designed to minimize the unemploy-
ment, excessive competition and low
cred quality of work that menace the
industry and it is confident that
adoption of the program will build
great benefits to workers, manufac-
turers 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
result, the union has come to the re-
luctant conclusion that the industry
is incapable of cooperative action to
reform 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
ers' Union with keen interest, as it
may well mark the beginning of a
new industrial era, with the organ
lied workers taking the lead in put
ting the industry OH a plane where
it will work for the best interests of
'rkers and employers, as well as
the public.

Of all the sins of omission COM
mitted by the Congress which has
just adjourned, perhaps the hardest
to understand is its failure to take
any action toward helping the farm
ers.
Congress had no excuse for not
taking action, as members of both
branches repeatedly directed atten-
ton to the plight of the agricultural
districts and pleaded for helpful leg
islation. But Congress did nothing
to aid the farmers and will have
only itself to blame if there is a
political revolt this fall that will de-
prive many Congressman of their
seats.

as they know the employers are
whistling the Injunction Blues" to
keep up their courage.
The International Association of
Bridge, Structural and Ornamental
Iron Workers has conducted the
strike with great ability and it seems
only question of a short time when
even the ''hard-boiled" employers
will grant the workers demands for
union recognition and a wage in
crease. The union has almost doubl-
ed it's membership in the last year
and under the leadership of President
+. j. Norm it has forged steadily
ahead, despite the fact that it has
had to contend with its share of in
ternal trouble makers and would-be
disrupters.

FARMERS AND PLAsTERERs

Some interesting statistics were re-
Gently revealed in the Chicago Daily
News They illustrate in a graphic
way the difference in earning power
between the ordinary farmer and the
organized tradesman:
"At the most conservative estimate
it takes about twenty-one dozen eggs
to pay plasterer for an eight-hour
day and seventeen and half bushels
of corn, of the receipts of one-half
acre of soil for one year to pay a
bricklayer for one days labor; or nine
chickens to pay a paiAter for one
days labor; twenty-three pounds of
butter to pay plumber for one days
labor; or 175-pound hog, represent
ing six months of feeding, to pay a
carpenter for one day"
What does this prove? 1t proves
that the aforesaid plasterer, brick
layer, painter. plumber and carpenter
all organized comparatively, are get
ting good pay for their services, while
the farmer, unorganized and selling
his produce to anyone he can, is hold
ing the sack.
1t proves beyond doubt that the
idea of unionism and cooperation is
correct, and is working every day to
the benefit of it's supporters.-Co

on which it was possible for all to
agree.
Therefore, the first topic taken
up was that of currency. All agree /
Germany's prime need was stable

a gold basis. Stable currency also
meant a stable central bank of is

rels. ,s q.
1t was also agreed that Germany
must balance it's budget. To do this
it must revapp its entire taxation
scheme and impose heavy taxes
which would reach all classes. Such
taxation would not only provide fos
all governmental needs but Is
would leave a balance out of which
payments to allies cou?l begin.
Such payments would not be in
kind but in money. To get the best
value out of this, money would to
be spent in Germany by allies pur-
chasing things which they most
needed and which would not come
into competition with home prod

doesn't manufacture such stations,
and Germany could supply them.
A practical agreement has been
