A. Oklahoma. Kansas. Nebraska.
Mississippi, South Dakota and Wash

to take out policies OF insurance. The
principal of the guaranty rest upon
mutual responsibility OF the banks and
the reason the plan is not more sue

institutions. because so many of their

not accepted the plan.

charge of the lives of the employees.
He tells them what their pay rate is,
how many hours they shall work,
where they shall live, where they
shall spend their wages, what their
recreation shall be, and dominates
their entire community life.
By fixing the wage rate low enough
profit sharing plan can be devised
so that at the end of the year bonus
can be paid to those who are in
their employ. The lower the fixed
wage the greater the bonus can be for
those who stick during the year at
the low fixed wage.
Such scheme permits it's origina-
tor to dominate every movement of
the life of the employe. The fear of
discharge would tend to prevent him
from joining union because by the
discharge he would lose the bonus
the bonus being that part of his earn
ings withheld until the end of the
year to insure his subservience to the
overlordship.
Such suppression of industrial
democracy makes neither for progress
nor for good citizenship. 1t is not
the American idea at all. Industrial
serfdom is not more palatable than
chattel slavery.
The need of union of wage earners
is just as great in the political and
economic life of the nation as it is in

ers themselves.

In applying the above caption to
the interests of wage earners it is
realized that the need of organiza-
ton of wage workers has been en-
phasized well and often. 1t has been
pointed out many times, and clearly,
that we live in an age or organiza-
ton; that all branches of BUSINESS or
industrial interests are each organ
lied to serve their common interests; !;
and that the same idea of organiza-
ton for class advancement is extend
ing into all professional life.
Moreover these organizations in
business or industries or professions
are accomplishing results, in their re-
spective fields, that should forever
silence any criticism that any mem
bers of such associations might be
disposed to level at labor unions.
Every one of these business or pro-
fessional organizations has operated
to raise or maintain higher prices
for their merchandise or services
Examine any of these fields and you
will find that there is heavy ad-
vance in charges to the public over
those of former years.
Even the laundries now have ar
association which does national adver.
tising to show the public why they
should patronize the laundries al
prices double those of a few years
ago.
| There are associations in every
kind of building material, each up
holding some standard or under
standing of list Of prices. Thes'
organizations are bottle tight
Whether it is lumber, sash and doors
wall paper, hardware, plumbing AM
heating, paint and varnish, cement
lighting fixtures, or anything else
there is no escape.
Your doctor charges nearly doubl
his former fees. All your food sup
plies are likewise price controlled b.
middle men plus could storage, an
you, the public, composed mostly o
wage earners, have to pay these bill
or charges which in many case
carry extortionate profits.
The great and vital difference be
tween these price controlling associa
tions and labor unions is that tn
tions and labor unions is that the labo
union seeks to improve the condition o
the mass of the people by securing
larger compensation for labor per
formed, while these associations ar
taking money from the masses to b
applied to swollen profits on dollars
The labor movement is for me-
while these associations of capital ar
for money. The distinction is clea

a violation of the criminal law.
Yet these associations of capita

multiplied reasons why wage Garner
need union of their legitimate inter
ests to more successfully comba
these organized exploiters.
If we wage earners are not Il
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-08-29
THE NEED OF UNION

union, while all other classes are or
ganized, wage earners will be ex-
plotted to the last cent, and moreover
will be abused by the hireling press
while the extortion or plain robbery
is going on.
1t seems, then, conclusively proved
that wage earners need union to pro-
tect themselves from exploiters more
intensively organized than ever be-
fore.
If the need of union by and for
wage earners, be admitted, the next
question is whether that union be
real and complete, or whether it be
factional, combattive and ineffective.
Rival factions of labor cannot exist
without quarrels and combats. When
/! labor factions fight each other they
are serving the interests of their
common enemies rather than their
| own The need of union of wage
earners implies whole union and
not lot of quarreling factions.
1t often happens that workers are
kept divided by subtle, cunningly de-
vised propaganda intended to keep
them from any true realization or use
of their real united strength.
True union is also prevented by
petty personal feelings, suspicious or
prejudices. Wage earners have
shown their ability to quarrel or di-
vide on a million microscopic issues
when what they really need is to de-
monstrate their resolution to come to-
gether as solid unit.
Any one of them who advocates or
supports any division or split in the
ranks of labor should be regarded and
treated for just what he is-a traitor
to each and every wage Garner. II
ought not to be possible for any such
to reap a pecuniary reward for his
treachery and least of all from those
he betrays.
If the traitors must have dirty sill
yer, let their ill-gotten gains come
from the employing interest the.
: serve and not from the workers they
|, betray.
Il And let no Individual rank and fill,
wage Garner do for nothing what hi
traitor leader does for pay. Cheal
!as the paid traitor is, he is not quit,
, so cheap as the worker who permits
his blindness or petty suspicion t.
: get himself into that destructive
frame of mind that he will neithe
unite himself to others in union no,
, allow others to do SO if he can pre-
, vent it.
In order then to realize complete
union of wage earners they have
three principal things to combat:
i l. The opposition of all interests O
!, exploiting capital including theil
press, their professors, and thei
publicists.
i 2. The treachery of professional
factional leaders who seek to divide
labor for revenue only.
/ 3. The thoughtless wage Garner
who unconsciously, but effectively
does the work of both the first ane
the second.
!, But there is another type of enemy
no less dangerous, coming within
class one, but deserving special men
ton. We refer to those who attemp
to establish alleged benevolent des
potism in industry-those who do al
the thinking, planning and spending
for their employees.
This type of employer takes full

BRASS co. SUPT. CAUGHT VIOLATING
 THE SUNDAY LAW
Pleads Necessity For Starting Big
 Presses But Must Stand Trial.

Waterbury, Jan. 5.-Stephen H. Conway of Elizabeth street, superin- tendent of the Connecticut Brass company on Waterbury avenue, ap- peared in city court Monday morning charged with violation" of laws pro- hibiting Sunday labor The case was not tried and was continued for a week. MT. Conway is prepared to fight the case.
 The complaint was made Sunday by residents in the neighborhood of the factory who said the noise was almost intolerable. Prosecuting Attorney Miles McNiff issued the warrant, bas- ing authority for it on the old and a1- most forgotten law.
 MT. Conway said that the employees at the factory were taking inventory Sunday and were moving stock from one place to another, naturally n1ak- ing some noise.
