Labor and Employers
Join Hands; Shop Men
Point to Harmony Road

Baltimore.-At meeting in this
city officers of the B. & O. shop crofts
federation and mechanical executives
of that railroad approved plans to
extend the Glenwood cooperative plan
to the IA shops of that system. The
plan was introduced in 1923 in the
Glenwood shops. 1t is based on the
theory that workers will do their best
under conditions that they aid in Gre
ating.
The cooperative committee and the
foremen and master mechanic meet
every week. The committee presents
it's views and those of fellow workers.
These conferences have resulted in
work being systematized, new tools
secured, and time-saving moves and
devices installed. The men are not
working any harder, but they are pro-
ducing more under satisfactory condi-
tions. Now they may make sugges-
tion and know they are not. risking
loss of their jobs.
The cooperative committee is sepa-
rate from the grievance committees,
though the latter's duties have been
lessened since the new era was estab-
lished.
The company's contribution to this
movement is stability of employment.
The shop men have notified the man.
agement that i will eventually be
called upon for "split" of the saw
ings. 1t is stated that old school
trade unisnists are most enthusiastic
over the new plan. They were sus-
picious at first because of the numer-
Gus efficiency" schemes and company
unions" that are advocated by glib
tongued promoters. Under the Glen
wood plan the right Of workers to or
ganize is not questioned Instead, it
calls on the unionists to contribute
their skill and make decisions effective
through voluntary action. The plan
makes it possible for the organized
workers to realize their fundamental
longing-to be considered an essential
part of production, rather than an
order-receiving machine.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1924-03-21

These shop men can now express
their views. Their suggestions for
greater economy, greater production,
saving in time and labor, and safety
devices are all considered and tested.
Uniomists and the management agree
that the plan is, yet in it's infancy.
The Baltimores& Ohio railroad was
the first to reach an agreement with
its shop men following the shop strike
of 1922.
President Johnston, of the machin-
lists, presented the plan to President
Willard, of the B. & O. The Glenwood
shop, near Pittsburgh, was always
considered a reproductive shop, and
It was selected to test the new plan.
Startling results followed, and as the
plan developed, it is now being ex-
tended throughout the system. For
several months the machinists paid
for the services of o. S. Boyer, Jr., a
mechanical engineer. He is now en-
gagged by the railway employees de-
partment, A. F. of L., and is work
ing out the Gienwood idea on the gov
ernment-owned railroads of Canada.
Several large railroads, like the
Milwaukee, that recognize the shop
mems unions, are investigating the
plan.

Authorities Who jailed
Molders Beginning To
Fear Mistake Was Made

dox, who is also county prosecutor.
This fact may serve to indicate one
of the reasons for the unlawful meth
cd of the arrests and the inhuman
conditions inflicted upon the strik-
ers after they had been placed in Jail.
The conditions connected with the
arrests and the treatment of the strik-
ers have been such that not only state
but federal authorities have been
sufficiently interested to make inde-
pendent Investigations. Fimly be-
lieving that the county authorities
were either incompetent, prejudiced,
or both, the international Molders'
Union requested federal investigation
and this investigation is now being
made. Information seeping out from
county officials indicate that county
authorities and others are of the dpin-
ion that citizens as innocent of the
crime as new born babes, have been
arrested and jailed under circum-
stances which if committed in any
other country would lead Americans
to accuse that nation of barbarism
The outstanding features of the
case at present are the unlawful
method of the arrests, and the un-
lawful detention of the striking mold
ers in the beginning, and the utterly
inhuman, calloused manner in which
many of them have been treated by
the authorities.

there is an agreement between the
combine and the Independent broad
casters, under the terms of which the
independent broadcasters are not per-
mitted to make a charge for any
broadcasting done through stations
using patents controlled by the COM
bine. Of course, the 40 stations own
ed by the combine are not bound by
this restriction but are free to follow
the example set by the telephone
company in its New York station
There is at issue in the war, not
only the paSamount question of public
service and the freedom of that serv-
ice from the tainted propaganda, but
there are also at stake tremendous
financial investments.
The radio stations now in existence
have cost from $4,000 to 100000
each for installation. An example of
the possibilities of operating cost is
found in the statement that the tele-
phone company spends approximately
$4,000 a year to operate Station
WEAF' in New York City.
If the combine is successful in
forcing all independent broadcasters
out of the air it will be impossible for
organizations of labor to carry out
plans that have been in contemplation
for erection of one or more broad
casting stations. 1t will affect large
number of broadcasting stations erect
ed by newspapers and it will put out
of business stations operated through
out the country by churches, universi-
ties and theatres. Freedom of the
air will be done for.

'1CAN'T-STRIKE LAW
Would Be Revived BY Large
Employing Interests
of Country

New York,-The nations large en-
ploying interests have not abandon
ed efforts to handcuff labor to its
work.
This is indicated in a statement is
sued by the national industrial con
ference board, which represents a
score of anti-union organizations. The
board announces that after a years
study it has reached the conclusion
that the Kansas industrial relations
court has not received clear test
either legally or practically.
Although history in the Middle Ages
records numberless attempts to set
wages and prices by law, and hold
workers to their task, the board now
says that the Kansas court ''has been
"a novel experiment, suggestive as a
guide for future effort to meet COM
plex and difficult problem"
The board recommends that the
Kansas court "be based upon and built
up out of the machinery and processes
of voluntary private collective bar
gaining, developed through effective
and representative group organiza-
tions"
This recommendation is amusing to
those who recall that not single or
ganization affiliated with the national
industrial conference board has deal
ings with the trade union in that in
dustry. Many of these employers are
maintaining handpicked company
unions" in their establishments, and
it is presumed that this is the sort
of an defective and representative"
organization these employers will
favor in conjunction with a law to pro-
hibit workers from quitting their en-
ployment.
The United States supreme court
passed on the Kansas law in June,
last year. 1t the ruled, in the case of
the Wolff packing company, that the
industrial court has no right to set
wages for this concern. This was the
outstanding point in the decision. The
question of holding workers to their
task was not passed upon, though the
court limited that in some employ
ments the relations of the workers to
the public are equivalent to "the en-
/ listment of soldiers and sailors in mill.

Oklahoma City.-The Times of this

The Times sees that an avowed

PRIVATE GAIN
At Workers Expense OPP
posed: Ohio Law Cited

Washington.-There are 22,500 en-
ployers who have invested in the Ohio
workmen's compensation fund of that
state, while only 450 are self-insured.
Congressman Morgap, of Ohio, pre-
sented there figures tothe house COM
mittee that is holding hearings on the
Fitzgerald and the Underhill work
mems compensation bills. The for
mer would prohibit private insurance
companies in the District of Colum-
bia. Business interests protest against
being debarred from making profit
out of injured employees.
Congressman Morgan said that the
adoption of a federal compensation
plan throughout the nation would re-
suit in an annual saving of between
$3O,o0O,000 and S5O,OO0000. He cited
some of the wrongs inflicted upon in
jured workers when they are at the
mercy of private insurance companies
and their CLAN agents.
"Ohio employers have found that
the state fund costs them far less
than the privte fund plan, while en-
ployes are given more and more
speedy treatment" Congressman Nor
gan stated.
He presented figures prepared by
the Ohio state manufacturers associa-
ton which showed that the average
rate paid by the average employer
under the state plan in Ohio is con-
siderably less than that paid by en-
ployers under the private plan in other
states.

By international Labor News Service.
Montpelier, Ind.-That the authori-
ties responsible for the arrest of the
entire membership of the local Mold
ers' Union following an explosion in
front of a hotel here are beginning to
suspect that they blundered, is indi-
Gated by recent Developments in the
case.
The condition of the public mind
and the mental equilibrium of the To-
cal authorities, SO far as the strike
and explosion are concerned, was in
terestingly indicated few days ago
when another bomb scare aroused the
county prosecutor to vigorous action.
An unexploded bomb" was placed in
the county prosecutors possession.
While local authorities felt shivers
creeping up and down their spine,
explosive experts treated the bomb"
so that it might not prematurely ex-
plode. Finally1t was discovered that
the bomb" was worn out dry cell
battery which somebody had thrown
out of fashlight into the ash can!
The treatment which the molders
have suffered at the hands of local
authorities is a striking illustration
that the law of the land does not con-
stitute protection to citizens, when
authorities are incompetent or preiu-
diced. Forty members of the
Molders' Union were originally arrest
ed without commitment papers of any
other authority. They were kept in
communicate in Jail for over twenty
four hours, although the law provides
that no one can be held over twenty
four hours without warrant, and
these forty-seven men were crowded
into three small cells containing six
cots.
Amount of Bonds Reduced
Originally all of the strikers were
held under five thousand dollar bonds
each. When the grand jury first
found additional indictments the
bonds of those indicted were increased
to ten thousand dollars each Finally
all of those arrested had had true
bills found against them, and then
came most extraordinary event for,
after the county prosecutor had Sc
cured true bills from the grand jury
against every one arrested, all of the
bonds were reduced; the highest being
placed at five thousand dollars and
a number as low as one thousand.
The reducing of these bonds, and
the various amounts set, constitute
the clearest evidence that the authori-
ties are beginning to doubt the guilt
of those accused, and to realize that
some one in authority had blundered
and blundered most seriously
The grounds for believing that
some one in authority blundered, or
perhaps is responsible for something
much more sinister than blunder
are being uncovered for among other
things, direct connection between the
prosecuting attorney and the National
Steel Casting Company, of Montpe-
lier, has been established.
Prosecutor Represented Foundry
The strike was precipitated by the
discharge of all the union members in
the steel foundry of the casting COM
pany Sometime afterwards the COM
pany applied for and secured an in
junction against the strikers, and one
of the attorneys representing the
company in court was Hugh D. Mad
