"Officers Of the A. F. Of L. appealed

clared that workers were entitled to

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 23.-
Chester NJ. Wright, former director
of the American Federation Of Labor
information and Publicity Service, is
now associated with the Bricklayers', /,
Masons' and PlastererS international

ganization in Washington.
Mr.. Wright, who made an enviable
reputation as director of the Amer

work, assistant editor Of The Ameri-
can Federationist and editor Of Inter-
national Labor News Service, left
Washington some months ago to en-
gage in other activities in the South
west. At the urgent request Of his
many friends in the labor movement,
he has again taken up work in the
field Of labor publicity, in which he is
a recognized authority.

"Press reports carry the informa-
tion that the American Wooden Com
pany is engaged in putting into eff
feet q 10 per cent reduction in the
wages Of its employees and other man
ufacturing concerns engaged in the
manufacture of textiles in certain
New England States are following the

ut seemed strikingly strange and
most difficult to understand Why man

OF such a high protective tariff, rs
those engaged in the textile mahufae-

attempt to impose a reduction in the
wages Of heir workers. Certainly IL
there is one industry in America which
enjoys the benefits of high protec-

the textile industry.

WANT CAPITOL !
SCHOOL BUILDING NAMED
FOR SAMUEL GDNPERS

WASHINGTON, d c., Aug. g.
The educational authorities of the
District OF Columbia are urged to
name a public school building after
the late Samuel Compers, in resolu-
tions approved By the American Fed
Grafton of Teachers, in annual conven-
tion at Chicago. Copies Of the reso-
luton have just been received here by
the American Federation Of Labor.
The resolution reads as follows:
Whereas, the history Of the or
ganfzed labor movement Of America
is Iai gely the narration Of the achieve
ments Of its labor statesman, Samuel
Gompers; and
whereas, Samuel Compers died
serving the labor movement and gave
his last bit Of strength in eementing
the friendship Of the labor movement
Of Mexico and the United States; and
aWhereas, Samuel G0mpers has all
ways been an outstanding champion
of the cause Of public education which
was brought into being because of La
bor's unstinted efforts and support;
nd
Whereas, school buildings are be-
ing erected IN the capitol and named
after men and women who have made
noteworthy contributions to the de-
veiopment Of the country; and
Whereas, Samuel Gompers has not
only made such contributions to his
country, but to the development Of
public education as well; therefore be

Resolved, That the American Fed

cure legislation authorizing the Conn
missioners and the Board Of Education
of the District of Columbia to name
the first building hereafter to be
erected in the District Of Columbia as

Resolved. That a copy Of this res
olution be transmitted to the Ameri-

President Green points cut that the
textile industry enjoys the benefits
Of a high protective tariff. He said
that reductions in wages are not pro-
posed and are not being forced upon
the workers in other Industries. IN
fact. in many industries increases in
wages are being granted. he added.
The letter to the two presidents Is
as follows:
"Rednetions in wages are not pro-
posed and are not being forced upon
the workers in other industries. Pres
ent existing wage levels are being
maintained while in some localities in
creases in wages are being secured,
Consequently the attitude Of your COM
pany and that of other textile manu-
featuring interests, IN forcing fedhe-
tons in wages, is not in keeping with
the general industrial and. economic
policies being followed by other man.
ufacturing interests. Existing eco
romic facts make your position un-
jhstifiable and indefensible
Living costs do not justify a re-
duction in wages and certainly when
you take into account the high pro-
tective tariff which your industry en-
joys competition can not be offered
as justification for your action. Be-
sides, II is economically and morally
wrong to reduce the purchasing power
Of the workers engaged in textile
manufacturing through the imposition
by force Of a reduction in wages
while wage levels are being main
tanned in practically allother lines of
industry.
To Lower Living Standards
How can the workers in the tex
tile Industry sustain arreduced pur-
chasing power through the imposition
Of substantial reduction in wages
and at the same time enjoy stand
ard Of living commensurate with
American citizenship? If their wages
are reduced how can they buy. goods
manufactured by your industry and
other industries IN such volume as to
maintain prosperity throughout the
the land?
ssThe logical conclusion Is that
the workers IN your industry are be-
ing forced, through a reduction in
wages, to lower their living stand
ards below that of the workers en-
ployed in other lines of American in
dustry. The reprehensible feature of
it is that this is a forced reduction
in wages. The workers have not been
consulted regarding acceptance or re-
lection. It is a reduction in wages
that has been imposed and enforced
in spite Of the opposition and protest
of the workers affected. The repre-
sentatives of the textile manufactur-
ing interests can not justify their po-
sion before the American people,
either economically or morally.
