NO. 3 PRESSMEN !
BATTLE BERRY
IN FEEDER ALTON
Lose Seats But Gain
Friends in c. F. of L. !

The strikebreaking activities Of
."Majah" Berry and his associates
were denounced by a number of dele
gates at the last meeting Of the Chi
cago Federation of Labor, when the
executive board brot in a recommend
alton to seat Berry's scabby outfit
Fitzpatrick stated that the laws Of
the A. f. Of L. had to be lived up to.
The delegates from Pressmen's No.
3 were given the floor and pointed
out the unfair procedure of unseat-
ing them before even giving chance
to hear their side of the story and
pointed out that it was not Press
mems Local No. that had violated
any laws of the union, but "Majah"
Berry and that the lay members Of
the Pressmen's Union refused to work
under scab conditions and had con-
Quoted themselves as union men
should.
Compared to A. c. w. Fight.
Delegate Lichtenstein Of Painters
No. 275. stated that this case was
similar to the situation existing be-
tween the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers and the United Garment
Workers and denounced "Majah"
Berry as a notorious strikebreaker.
Delegate Shussler Of the Photo En-
gravers, went into the history Of the
fight between Berry and No. 3, and
the famous theft Of S275.000 was
again brot to the attention Of the
delegates. He also reminded the
delegates of the unseating of the
stereotypers in 1912, when the fedora
ton took the action OF the A. F. Of
L. convention and when scabs were
seated over the protest Of the rank
and file.
Berry Not Quite Popular.
Altho the recommendation OF the
board was adopted by majority vote,
the dissatisfaction against the tactics
of ~Majah" Berry and his scabby
tools was quite evident in the discus
sion.
Delegate Werlik of the Metal Pol
ishers, reported on the strike at the
Cribben and Sexton company, and
how the plant has been surrounded
by thugs and detectives to intimidate
the men when the strike became eff
fectiye. The company had transferred
the work to another company, the
Chicago Plating Works, and the me-
tai polishers were able to organize
this plant and finally called strike
there.
This explained the attempt of the
bosses to hire thugs to break the
strike. The matter, Werlik stated,
will be brot before the A. f. of L.
convention and a national campaign
made to compel the company to come
to terms. The federation granted
credentials to the metal polishers to.
visit all local unions in Chicago on
this matter. Assn. .

Unemployment Figures
Get Soft Pedal from
u. S. Bureau Director

WASHINGTON, October 6.-(FP)-
Francis !. Jones, director of the U. S.
unemployment service, has lately ac-
cepted an order from Secretary OF
Labor Davis that he cease to gather
and publish unemployment statistics
from the state of Illinois. He is
instructed 10 ~accept the unemploy-
men figures reported by the state
labor department.
1T is true that | secured my I'M
employment figures from chambers of
commerce, bankers, securities to
plant managers, and other people
who knew" Jones told The Federated
Press. "The Illinois people thought
was too conservative as to- the
number of people out of work. Now,
it is my view that while the figures
should be stated, they should be
stated in such a way as to soften the
bad news they may contain. Talking
hard times makes hard times. My
policy is to report unemployment but
not to keep harplhg on the serious
ness of its possibilities"
Jones was disputed as to the
accuracy of his reports, at a recent
convention of unemployment statisti-
clans at Salt Lake City, and com
plants were made that he had caused
a swarm of migratory workers to
enter Louisiana and Oklahoma at
harvest time when thara woa n e,,r
plus OF farm labor available in those
states. Cotton pickers were needed
in certain areas but the state autho.
rites tried to make Jones understand
that cotton pickers are skilled workers
and must be found in the cotton belt.

spairing situation OF the outlawed
peasants in Bessarabia. The meeting
decided to request the Peasants Inter-
national to issue an appeal to the
Roumanian peasant organization to
prevent the murders of the Tatar-
bounar peasants at the trial at Kishe-

Odessa Demonstrates.
A mass demonstration in which
$4,000 workers took part, took place
in Odessa against the process in
which the participants Of the Tatar-
bounar uprising are accused.
Peasant Speaks.
A Bessarabian peasant who had lust
arrived few days previous to the
demonstration from Bessarabia, and
who was one Of the active participants
in the instruction, gave the details
of the medieval tortures inflicted on
the peasants by the Sigurantsi CRou-
manian secret police). He pointed out
that during the eight years of Rou-
manian occupation, no less than 1875
peasant instructions have taken
place in Bessarabia. Further acts of
desperation on the part Of the Bess-
arabian peasants may be expected as
long as the reign of terror instituted
by the Roumanian boyars continues.

union LABOR'S
First Legal Reserve Life
Insurance Company
Union Cooperative Insur-
ance Association, of Wash
ingtOn, d. c., an ImpOr-
tant Forward Step

Labor is developing in many activi-
ties, and is now entering some of the
important lines of work which for
merly were carried on only by capi-
tai. This indicates the growing pur-
pose of the producers of wealth to
handle and control their own money,
savings, investments and business, to
a larger and larger degree.
The international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers has been the leader
in this new step into the insurance
field, and labor is to be congrat tulated
that the step has at last been taken.
While many unions have provided
fraternal insurance for their MEM
bers, such insurance is for the most
part inadequate, as the amounts paid
in many organizations are small, and
not sufficient for the needs of the
ordinary worker with family to sup
port.
The successful experience of the
international Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers in providing fraternal
insurance for its members through the
Electrical Workers Benefit Associa-
ton led directly to the establishment
of the Union COOPERATIVE Insurance
Association, with its home office IN
the. Machinists' building at Washing
ton, d. c., so that it could provide
regular legal reserve life insurance
not only to its own members, but to
members Of all other bodies of organ
lied labor, and to the public in gen.
eral The stock Of the Union Co.
Operative Insurance Association is
owned entirely by labor.
For the first time, therefore, it is
now possible to obtain insurance pro-
section of the highest class, at the
lowest cost consistent with solvency,
and at the same time through an in
stitution owned and controlled by la
Dor, thereby giving the insured the
comfort of knowing that premiums
paid for protection would not be mo-
bilized in unfriendly hands, and used
against the workers when confronted
with industrial disputes.
The latter point is in itself strong
argument to labor to support this
new enterprise, patterned largely on
the regular commercial companies,
but operated by labor for labor
