AN OLD PLAN IN NEW GARB

The company union" has a double
value to trade union opponents.
1t permits these employers to re-
tain as complete control of working
conditions as in the days of the So
called "open" shop, and it drugs en-
ployes into the belief that they really
own themselves.
The so-called "open" shop plan
often aroused resentment among un-
organized. 1t was avowedly based on
the principle of individual bargain
ing. 1t ignored the group instinct of
every human being.
Forced to fight against the spirit of
the age, the so-called "open" shop
employer has abandoned his frontal
attack on the trade unions Now he
makes flank movement.
He has concluded there is nothing
crafty or cunning in opposing trade
unionism with gunmen and spies.
This method is vulgar and crude in an
age of efficiency and social engineer
ing So he substitutes honey for open
antagonism.
He presents his company union"
and sells a few shares of common
stock to his employees on the install
ment plan.
The company union" plan is be-
decked with every alluring term and
catchy phrase that skilled advertisers
and trained psychologists can invent.
The employer prepares the consti-
tuition and bylaws. He pays all ex-
penses His superintendent and
foremen take an active part in the
election of union" representatives,
who meet in the employers office.
Trade unionists should be alert to
the new method of noiseless attack by
employers who have awakened to the
value of posing as friend"
Organized labor must continually
point out that members of a company
union" have no more control of them
selves than they had under the So
called "open" shop plan.
Now, as then, they are deluded by
phrase mongering.

CLUB WOMEN
Hope For Child Labor Vic.
tory at Next Legislative
Session

BY International Labor News Service.
Chicago. - Qualification that the
child labor amendment was not turn
ed down by the Illinois Legislature,
recently adjourned, was expressed at
meeting Of the joint committee rep
resenting 80 Illinois women's organ
izations.
The hope was expressed that the
amendment would be ratified at the
next session, and the continued sup
port of Illinois club women was
pledged.
Governor Len Small submitted the
amendment to the legislature several
months ago, but it was not reported
out of committee. This was in COM
pliance with the wishes Of representa-
tives of the women's organizations,
who feared to risk vote on the
amendment at the 1925 session, par
ticularly after sufficient number of
state legislatures had turned it down
to make ratification impossible this
year.
The above outcome was forecast by
international Labor News Service
last March, when the exclusive story
was published telling of the action
taken by the women's organizations
in reference to the matter and con-
currence therein by the executive
board of the Illinois State Federation
of Labor
1t was then decided to mark time"
until 1927, when vigorous fight for
ratification will be made.

with comparisons made in dollars as
against pounds sterling, francs, lires
and marks, it was impossible to deter
mine the actual differences.
Now an English economist has
undertaken to establish the value of
real wages in various countries, the
wages being figured on the basis of
buying power rather than in terms
of money.
On this basis it is shown that TAX
ing London at 100 the wage in Phila-
delphia is 220; Ottawa, Canada, is
placed at 160, Amsterdam at "a,
Stockholm at 80, Paris at 75, Berlin
at 81, Rome at SO, and so on down
to Lisbon at 80.
Just how authoritative the figures
are may be open to question, but they
show that the general trend is not
much different from what it was be-
fore the war.
There may be greater Emergencies
now than in pre-war days, but then,
as now, America paid the highest
wage, with England second and the
continental countries running rapidly
down the list.

MERCHANTS SHOULD KICK

To make them earn their salary the
Butler county commissioners should
be made to drive over the pike from
Seven Mile to Somerville at least once
each day. This stretch of pike is
certainly in fierce condition-the
worst ever, and the commissioners
ought to be ashamed to leave it so
without doing everything in their
power to remedy the situation. Ham
ilton merchants are losing thousands
of dollars in trade because of the ter
rible condition of this pike. The peo-
pie north of Seven Mile simply won't
drive into Hamilton to do their trad
ing so long as the pike remains in
the condition it is. They are trading
elsewhere. The worst of it is that
they will become accustomed to going
somewhere else to do their buying
and the local merchants will never get
this trade back, and goodness knows
our merchants can i'll afford to lose
the outside trade which the city has
been getting in the past. 1t is said
too, that even the bus men plying
between HAMILTON and Eaton. and
who do much for bringing trade into
Hamilton, say that unless the road is
soon improved, that if it gets much
worse, they will have to discontinue
hauling over the road; that as it is, it
is dangerous to the bus and to traffic.
The local merchants certainly have a
big kick coming in this instance, and
they ought to get together and de-
mand action on the part of the com
Observation-Disclosures. 1t might be
added too, that it is with a little
feeling of shame that resident of
Butler county, driving from the
north, leaves the fine Preble county
road and enters his home county.

POLITICAL PARTIES

No political party is responsible for
good times or bad times, says C. F.
Hughes, financial authority, writing
in the New York World.
The notion that prosperity can be
traced to politics, Mr.. Hughes says,
has been proved to have not the
slightest foundation; it has merely
gained its wide acknowledgement
through repetition.
The two big political parties have
an equal split of good and bad times
to their account
IF the half years developments in
business have emphasized anything it
is that no political party has a monop-
oily on prosperity The year was
ushered in with exaggerated optim-
ism, based on the election result. In
dustry quickly reached a state of
production in many branches and
has languished in all but a few
lines. Trade, in the main, has been
disappointing"
Mr.. Hughes reputation of this
theory has often been recorded be-
fore, but many wage earners and
farmers will refuse, as usual, to face
facts in future campaigns. Instead,
they will cheer at the prospect of good
times some office seeker solemn1y
predicts.

ALIEN SMUGGLING
Into u. S. Called Leading
Cuban Industry

By International Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind.--In an article in
the American Legion Weekly, pub
lished here, Leighton H. Blood asserts
that the smuggling of aliens into the
United States is one of the leading
industries in Havana, Cuba. Blood
says that gigantic syndicates are
smuggling thousands of aliens into
this country and making fortunes out
of human contraband"
Mr.. Blood has just completed an
investigation of the traffic." and his
report says that high Cuban official
is the silent head of one of the syndi-
Gates. The investigation was made in
company with inspectors of the
United States immigration service,
who were successful in being accept
ed by the smugglers for illegal entry
into this country.
Riff-raff from all parts of the world
is finding entry into the United States
through the instrumentality of SNUG
glers, says Mr.. Blood. "If aliens are
willing to risk the danger involved as
tentative guests of the smugglers,
who do not hesitate to toss them over
board if there is danger of being
caught with the goods on, they will
reach the United States-provided,
again, that they are doing business
with a reputable smuggler who will
set them down on United States soil
instead of on some lonely Florida key
to starve, as is done by some of the
less reputable smuggling firms"
Mr.. Blood points out that dope run
ming is profitable side line with alien
smugglers. = I'll if we use To dump

The currencies of the world have

on relative wages in various countries
have been rather fruitless because Of

1000 AMERICANISM"
CALLED MISUSED TERN

Providence, R. 1.-The misuse of
the formula 100 per cent American
ism" was objected to by John H.
Clarke, former justice of the United
States supreme court, in an address
at Brown University.
''In a word," the speaker said, "it
seems to be used chiefly to express an
attitude of self-sufficient superiority
to our neighbors which is not calcu-
lated to promote harmony at home
and in foreign relations to cultivate
an exaggerated nationalism.

FACING NEW CONDITIONS

We have left behind forever the
world in which things were cheap.
Land and property values have dou-
bled. Living conditions have doubled.
Wages and salaries therefore must
also be increased to maintain a nor
NAL average and relationship.
Twenty yers ago it was estimated
that the cost of raising a child to it's
sixteenth year was $1,000. Today the
cost is $4,000.
Twenty years ago the average cost
of a college education for a boy or
girl was $500. Today the cost is
$4,000.
The average man who wants his
boy or girl to have fair chance in
the world, must begin to sacrifice and
save with the birth of the child. A
good time" now may be at the ex-
pense of your children's future happi-
ness.

BICKNELL ASKS AID
Water Shortage There-RaiIroad ia
Help-Tipton Suffers.

Appealing to the public service
commission for relief from a serious
water shortage, Bicknell officials to-
day were assured the use of a large
well owned there by the Pennsyl-
Vauta Railroad
John w. McCardle, chairman Of
the commission. placed the matter
before w. c. Downing, general SUI
perintendent Of the railroad, who as
sured full cooperation of the Penn
sylvania during the present drought.
Bicknells regular water supply is
obtained through the Bicknell Wa.
ter Company from deep wells, ana
distributed through. huge cisterns.
The situation is complicated be-
cause of the fact that the water is
heavily impregnated with iron and
has clogged the mains.
The water company has before the
commission a petition for rate in
creases in order to provide neces-
sary betterments and extensions.
Water shortage is also reported
at Upton. Residents there have
been cautioned against sprinkling
lawns and restricted use of water
urged.
