OMAHA TYPO UNION
To Entertain Printers At
Legion Convention

BY international Labor News Service.
Omaha, Neb.-Printers attending
the American Legion national conven-
tion here next September will be en-
tertained by Omaha Typographical
Union No 1870 at centrally located
club rooms, v p. Kinney, secretary
of the union, announces. All guests
of the convention will be welcomed
at the printers headquarters, but the
rooms will be maintained especially
for reunions Of the typos. OF the
10000 union printers in the country
during the World War, 7,343 saw
service and 25l were killed in action.
Names of all the printers who served
in the war are being inscribed on a
bronze tablet, which will be placed in
the Union Printers Home at Colorado
Springs or in the new headquarters
building Of the International Typo
graphical Union in Indianapolis.

and some industries to improve indus
trial relations by stabilizing employ
ment. Plans for unemployment in
surance now in operation in number
of individual plants and in indus
tries, notably the garment and the
clothing industries, have proved a
success and point the way to effective
action by industry generally.
Notable progress is being made
also in the building industry in the
direction of providing all-year work.
The engineers report, however, that
relatively little is being done by those
in position to spread out the work
over the year The average building
worker loses over 81 per cent of the
possible work time each year. Prob
ably this industry also will not real
ize the possibilities of preventing un-
employment until it is asked to pay
for part maintenance of involuntary
unemployment.
We all remember how employers
claimed that they could not prevent
accidents Now that the law holds
them liable for part of its cost, they
have gotten busy on the prevention
of the risk. Similar precautions are
expected with unemployment; for
both risks, while different, are admit
tedly preventable in a large measure.
The railway shopmen are also con-
fronted with the problem of irregular
work. While railway managers con-
cede it entirely practicable and pos
sible to stabilize employment, rail
way shopmen are frequently forced to
lay off for six or eight week periods.
An examination of payroll figures of
railway shops shows marked irregul-
larity in volume of employment. The
figures show that the amount of
freight car and engine repair work
that is turned over to the shops is
fairly constant throughout the year.
Still the number on the payroll of one
typical shop normally employing
around 4,500 varied as much as 40
per cent over the year Obviously
this is not due to no work, but to
poor planning, a management func-
ton.

MINERS WIN
Ohio Judge Holds Interna.
tiOnal Can't Be Sued For
Shooting of Non
UniOnist

BY international Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind. The United
Mine Workers of America won a legal
victory in the common pleas court
of Belmont, Ohio, when Judge Turn
baugh sustained a motion by the
counsel of the international union to
quash the summons and return in a
suit for $250,000 against the organi-
zation as such
The action of the court in quashing
the summons and return was based
on the argument of counsel for the
organization that the United Mine
Workers, being an unincorporated as
sociation, could not be sued.
The case was that of Ella Majors,
eXecutrix of her husband, John |. Ma
jors, against the United Mine Work
ers, John l.. Lewis, international pres
ident; Philip Murray, vice president;
William Green, then international sec
retarytreasurer; the district officials
of Ohio, and the officials of subdis-
trict 5 of Ohio in addition to a mum
Der of individuals.
John Majors was shot to death on
June 27, 1922, following an alterca-
tion with a group of some 200 men
near a strip mine in Belmont county
where G was working as a ntn-union
miner.
The complaint alleged that the
United Mine Workers organization
was responsible for Majors death.
The court held that the union was not
sueable. 1t was pointed out that the
only recourse of the plaintiffs is to
sue the various individuals.

Unemployment Prevention
Labor's Next Step
By HENRY ]. OIL, Jr.
President, Wisconsin State Federation of Labor

(Note-This is the firfist of
two articles by Mr.. Oil, in which
he discusses unemployment and
its prevention.)
America owes no man living"
said statesman recently, "but Amer
lea does owe every born soul an oppor-
tunity to earn livelihood"
"Why doesn't America give us that
opportunity ask the jobless, the
unemployed, those who are able, ready
and willing to work. For years labor
has been asking these pointed ques-
tions: Is unemployment necessary :?
Should labor continue to bear it's en-
tire cost? Can it be prevented? How
can the evil be mitigated? How is
unemployment connected with many
of the larger problems of labor, of
the consumer and the community?
Of all the ills that beset the minds
of labor, unemployment ranks first.
Unquestionably it is the most per-
slstent and also the most perplexing
Of the 70% days wages which the
average worker loses annually, X of
a day is lost due to labor troubles,
3 to accidents, and Z to sickness.
Unemployment causes loss of 60
days wages-30 due to no work and
80 to part time work.
The Hoover report estimate of the
time building workers lost due to no
work of sc days per year is regarded
as too low. In the Chicago negotia-
tions for an $1,000 annual wage, a
$40 a day wage was conceded after
agreeing on l80 days as the average
work year out of possible 800. This
leaves 120 days unemployment due to
no work The unskilled have most
unemployment of all At all times

LONG HOURS
Low Wages and High Prices
Brings Steel Companies
Fat Surplus"

hington.-American steel capi-
talists were on the top notch of
wealth accumulation during the World
War, according to figures on the war
time profits of the steel industry
made public by the federal trade com
mission.
The figures show that the average
earnings of the steel companies were
rs per cent of the investment in 1915,
PIT in 1916, 289 in 1917, 201 in
1918, with four-year average of 20.2
per cent.
The commission adds that during
1917 and 1913 federal taxes took a
large portion of these profits.
The commission states, however,
that the computation relative to the
return on investment includes the ag
gregate amount of stocks, bonds and
surplus" BY surplus is meant the
amount accumulated from year to
year after fat dividends have been

stock
That is to say, the steel companies
by means of low wages and long hours
for the workers and high prices to
consumers, make enough profits to
pay dividends and set aside large
amounts of excess profits in the So
called surplus.
Then they declare themselves en-
titled to an investment return on the
surplus and the federal trade COM
mission implies that it is a legitimate
charge
All of which means that the people
Of the United States are compelled
to pay the steel companies prices high
enough to include interest on bonds,
and dividends ON preferred and COM
mon stock, and, in addition, to provide
an enormous surplus Then they are
required to pay an investment return
on the surplus itself

regardless of his age-the fear of mo
job" is dominant in the workers mind.
The unemployment fear is constant.
1t hangs over him every moment he
is at work: 1t demoralizes him while
denied work.
Labor's loyalty to industry is
shown in the records of the post
war period when increased production
per man was urged as a patriotic
duty. The only reward for the gen
eral response to this plea came later
when the factory gates were shut and
nearly eight million were deprived of
the right to earn living. A serious
study of the unemployment problem
would be Illuminating to the student
of social unrest who hopes to under
stand the mind of the rebellious wage
worker. Nothing deserves more con-
demnation than the lack of accounta-
bility on the part of those who are
responsible for unemployment.
lieve that unemployment is good
thing for business, as an aid to dis
cipline and low wages, and means
of keeping the laborer in his place. "
Such employers are not conscious of
the natural and inevitable trend of
modern industrial life Low wages
reduce the purchasing power and the
fear of no work commands respect
only in periods of extreme distress
1t is not effective most of the time.
Industry must treat men as men, as
humans in democracy.
Nowhere is the new spirit more
strikingly manifested than in the
agreement recently concluded be-
tween the miners union and the prin-
cipal coal mine operators renewing
the existing wage scale for three
years. Bituminous coal mining has
long been recognized as a conspicuous
offender in the matter of irregular
employment. We are told that nearly
200 900 men could be transferred to
other industries if coal mine oper-
alton were made regular-a most i'm
portant consideration at time when
shortage due to restricted immigra-
ton.
But the public has an even greater
interest in the statement, on trust
worthy economic authority that if
mine operation were regulariZed, the
earnings OF all bituminous miners
could be increased 20 per cent, the
cost of coal to the consumer could be
reduced by 10 per cent, and the oper-
ators could make profits on 40 per
cent longer operating time. The new
wage agreement, entered into by both
miners and operators, with deliberate
design, is expected to drive many un-
stable coal mines out of business,
with a gradual sterilization of en-
ployment in those that survive.
American industrialists are proud
of their ingenuity and resourceful-
ness. They are first to admit that no
job is impossible to their industrial
initiative if it has to be done. That
spirit is being invoked to overcome
the effects of the new immigration
restrictions. 1t has been successfully
brought into play by some employers

LOW WAGES IN SOUTH

Wasi1ington.-Lo wages and long
hours is the rule in the Louisiana
paper and pulp industry, according to
information made public by the
United States bureau of labor statis-
tics.
Average earnings per hour in the
southern pulp mills is 27.3 cents, as
compared with 49.1 cents in Michigan
and Ohio. The average fulltime
hours per week are 50.3 in New
England and 67.3 in Louisiana.
