and collective labor affiliations.
This will be done by holding local
conferences thruout the country.
James Cannon moved that in view Of
the great success of the mass meeting

conjunction with the local confer
ences.
To Help Centralia Victims
Plans for immediate labor defense
operations were discussed by the COM

International Labor Defense raise a
special fund to cooperate in a camp
align for the release of the l. w. w.
prisoners in WaIla Walla penitentiary
in Washington who were "railroaded''
to prison in the famous Centralia
trials.

their release with widespread agita.
ton, publicity, demonstrations and if
possible, legal action.
Serious Condition in w. Virginia
Henry Corbishly. representing coal
miners Of Southern Illinois asked that
action be taken in behalf of the strik-
ing coal miners of West Virginia. He
pointed out that one miner had al
ready been sentenced to ten years in
prison under an anti-picketing law
and that injunctions had been served
on over hundred others.
The seriousness of the struggle to
unionize the West Virginia coal fields.
Corbishly said, demands the imme-
date attention and service of the In
ternational Labor Defense.
The secretary, James P. Cannon.
was instructed to investigate the mat
ter and arrange for the participation
of the international Labor Defense in
the defense work necessary in West
Virginia.

sented themselves for q real amalga-
nation of the textile unions.
The resolution adopted by the con-
vention on this question instructs the
executive to seek to bring about an
early conference with representatives
Of the groups now composing the Fee
derated Textile Unions with a view to
creating an amalgamation of all
groups into one national textile union
of textile workers in one parent body.
Next Years Officers Elected
The officers elected for the coming
year are as follows:
President, James Tansey of Fall

A Bold Step
The policy adopted by the conven-
ton is significant in view of the
savage wage cutting campaign of the
manufacturers, the introduction of the
multiple machine system and the
speed up system, the unorganized
state Of the workers, and the exist
ence of many rival unions. The ANAL
gamation of the independent unions
will be the first step toward a general
amalgamation of the textile unions.
The American Federation of Textile
operatives has boldly struck out on
the path which will lead the textile
workers towards greater efficiency in
their struggles against the manufac-
turers.

"But it is not your taxes they want
reduced" he said. ''They want their
own taxes reduced. One way they
propose to reduce them, according to
their own newspapers, is to abolish

The Congressman showed how gov

right kind of men, could protect the
people.
The Dairy and Food Commission
was denounced as useless" for exam

'They do not tell you that the in

"They do not tell you that single

LABOR UNIONS ARE AN
ASSET TO- FARMERS
SAYS CONGRESSMAN

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 17.-Cong-
ressman J. d. Beck delivered the La
Dor Day address in this city under
the auspices of the Madison Fedora
ton of Labor.
The veteran Progressive was in
great form and his speech was pune
tuated with applause.
Lincoln once said, began Beck,
shat when man was created in the
garden of Eden, it was intended that
Mhe human race should be wealth
producers, and should do at least two
things-work and eat.
eff it had been intended that man
should work only he would have been
created all hands and no mouth.
''If it had been intended that he
should eat only, he would have been
created all mouth and no hands.
NOn-Producers Increasing
when this country was first set
tied, everybody produced wealth and
every producer received 100 cents out
of every dollar produced.
"But soon a producing class be-
gan to develop and as time went on
the ratio of producers to the total pop
ulation became smaller and smaller
until today less than 20 per cent Of
our population is engaged in wealth
production.
"This 20 per cent is able to retain
only about 33 1-3 cents out of every
dollar it produces.
All MOuth-"Like Dawes"
eff this tendency should continue for
another hundred years and we can be-
lieve in the theory of evolution, we
may expect the wealth producers of
the future to become all hands and no
mouth, while the non-producers will
become like General Dawes, all mouth.
"Give the producers the wealth they
produce and they will protect their
own women and children. They will
take care of their own old age PEN
sions, unemployment, insurance and
other similar proposals and will not
be asking anyone to assume guardian
ship over them"

OREGON CONCIIIATORS
GIVE BARRIERS SMALL
INCREASE IN WAGES

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 1.-THE
Oregon State board of Cancellation,
acting as an arbitration board, has
made an award in the controversy be-
tween the BARRIERS union and the Mas
ter BARRIERS Association, giving the
BARRIERS an increase of SO in the week
Ily guarantee, but extending the
amount at which the so per cent divi-
sion begins to a figure 81 higher than
formerly.
By the award, the barber receives
a minimum of $28 weekly against S25
the old minimum. Under the old scale
the barber received $40 and so per
cent of all his receipts over $37 week
ly. The new scale pays the barber
the higher minimum but he receives
nothing more until his weekly receipts
reach SAL, then the so per cent cut
is effective.
The increase is not so much as APP
pears at first thought. For the barber
who takes in more than SAL weekly,
the increase amounts to only go cents
a week, or 10 cents day. The award
makes the scale retroactive to July 6.

mercial companies. Even il the wealth
so centralized might never be used
actively in opposition to Labor, La
Dor would have no choice as to its
management and the uses to which it
should be put.
Beside the spirit of cooperation
among workers, there is another ele-
ment, loyalty, which should point di-
rectlv to Understandable activities
in preference to similar lines carried
on outside of Labor circles.
The Union Cooperative Insurance
Association, the pioneer old-line legal
reserve insurance company controlled
by Labor men, is conducted along the
lines of union company and operated
in the interests of Labor, to provide
safe and sound life insurance for the
workers, their families and friends,
beginning with age one, and also TO
provide group insurance for labor or
CARNATIONS and similar groups. It
provides the popular" standard forms
of policies with very liberal terms,
and its rates are from $500 to $500
per thousand per year cheaper than
the rates of many old-line companies.
It is stock company, owned and con-
trolled by union men.
To sum up, you get sound legal
reserve insurance protection, at low
rates, in a labor-controlIed company,
if you deal with the Union Cooperative
Insurance Association. Your union or
Brotherhood may have fraternal insur-
ance already, but is it sufficient for
the needs of the members? You may
yourself have some insurance, but
have you enough?

Association would be glad to supply
