Worry Union Foes
Business Mems Association Is
Alarmed Over A. F. of L.
Label Campaign

Omaha, Neb.-The business mems
association Of this city is alarmed
over the organizing and union label
campaign of the A. F. of l.. and its
union labor trades department. In a
letter to members, the secretary of
this anti-union organization warns all
friends of the american plan" that
they Should be constantly on their
guard" against efforts to extend the
union shop and collective bargaining
in this city.
"This campaign is not a bluff, -
says the secretary. He does not con-
ceal his worry that organized work
ers are awakening to their purchas-
ing power and their determination to
spend their money for products made
under union conditions.
Local business men are truthfully
informed that "the demand for the
union label is a form of boycott
against goods made under anti-union
conditions.
every special consideration shown
the organized workers of Omaha, the
secretary says, "is a direct blow to
the greater number of the morgan
ized."
The Unionist, local trade union pub
lication, says that the letter is "a
frank acknowledgement by our foe Of
the wonderful effectiveness of the
union label as an industrial weapon.

Increased Living
Prices Predicted
Basing Opinion on the Long Up
ward Movements Shown in
Stock Markets

New York-Increased living prices
are predicted by business observers.
1t is stated that the present upward
trend will continue.
One financial writer offers this
consolation to the wage worker:
at is not an easy matter for the
average consumer to enthuse over the
stiffening of prices for the goods and
commodities in daily use. Neverthe-
less such developments must be con-
sidered in the light of general eco
nomic progress and quite often the
advent of higher prices ushers in a
more prosperous situation for the sal
aried worker far removed in daily
routine from the articles in question.
"To the manufacturer, the produc-
er, the distributor or the retailer the
situation is quite different. An up
ward revision of prices may and quite
often does, bridge the chasm between
loss and eventual bankruptcy, and
full measure of prosperity, with funds
for dividends and the ever-desirable
surplus. Such condition is appar-
emily about to be ushered in, follow,
ing directly upon a long upward
movement in stock prices"

Insurance
Companies Fight
Compensation Bill
Tables Issued by Ohio Industrial
Commission Show Why
They Oppose 1t

Columbus, O.-A study of compar-
ative tables issued by the Ohio indus
trial commission will show why pri-
vate insurance companies oppose
state-operated workmen's compensa-
ton insurance. The table includes the
states Of New York, Indiana, Illinois,
Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio.
Benefits to the injured worker in
the state of New Yo!k are about the
same as in Ohio. Benefits in the
other states are considerably under
those of Ohio.
Private insurance companies must
collect 81 for every so cents paid to
the injured worker, as the average
cost of administering compensation
insurance by private companies is AZ
per cent of their premium receipts
In Ohio all premium receipts must be
used as benefits to injured workers
with the exception of l per cent which
is used for accident prevention work
the state bearing the expense of ad
ministering the compensation law
which is less than 5 per cent of the
premium receipts.
In Ohio 81 of compensation to the
injured worker costs the employer
$1.01 and the state 5 cents, OF tota
cost of $1.06 to provide 81 of com.
pensation.
In the other states 81 of compensa
ton requires $1.67 in premium. Thi;
accounts for the high rates when pri
vate insurance companies are permit

Laws Can't Compel
Anyone to Work
Against Their Will
Anti -UniOnists Want Congress
to Pass Law to Prevent Cessa-
ton of work by underpaid

Washington = In a public
statement Pres. Green quotes
several decisions by the United
States supreme court as an an
sWer to appeals from anti-un-
ionists that congress should pass
a law that would prevent cessa-
tion of work by underpaid and
overWorked employees.
at is strange that so many people,
especially those in public life, know
so little about the constitution or su-
preme court decisions on matters per-
tanning to labor" said President
Green. "Any law that prohibits en-
ployes from quitting work singly or
collectively would be a violation of
the thirteenth amendment, which pro-
hibits involuntary servitude. 1t would
also be in conflict with the fourteenth
amendment, which assures freedom
Of contract"
The supreme court has declared
that the Kansas court of industrial
relations "curtails the right of the
employer on the one hand and of the
employe on the other to contract
about his affairs"
The Kansas law empowered the
court Of industrial relations to set all
wages on the theory that production
is clothed with public interest. The
supreme court said:
at has never been supposed, since
the adoption Of the constitution, that
the business of the butcher, or the
baker, or the tailor, the woodchopper,
or the miner, was. clothed with such
a public interest that the price of
his product could be fixed by state
regulation"
In setting aside the women's mini
mum wage law the supreme court
said: "That the right to contract
about ones affairs is a part of the
liberty of the individual protected by
this clause Fifth amendment) is set
tied by the decisions of this court and
is no longer open to question"
In the Adair decision, which set
aside state law which prohibited an
employer from discharging a worker
because he was a member of trade
union, the supreme court said:

labor upon such terms as he deems

Still in the Ring
WITH
APOLOGIES

Several of our Newark May
ors have had, you might say, the
screws put to them good and
plenty; but among this noble
army of martyrs not one has
had a greater number Of tribu-
lations of such varied assort-
ment to encounter than has the
present incumbent, who is now
the defendant in about three
suits for damages in various
amounts, and whose future hap
piness is still further leopard
lied by the uncertain action OF
the next grand jury.
Under such trying circum-
stances one would naturally sup
pose he had had enough and
would be glad to let 60. But far
from it! w. H. Nyril is not that
kind of a boy by. any means. he
wants more of it. He's a fight
er and is going to show EN-
where to head in.
With this object in view 1t IS
reported he will seek a second
term at the coming election, and
will come out as an Independent
candidate. And you bet he'll
have his work cut out for hlm.
One of his opponents is prot
ably one of the shreWdest OLD
time political workers in this
neck of the woods; the other is a
husky kind of chap who IS no
novice in political games ana
whose newspaper experience has
taught him to take 'em as they
come and come back for more,
right along.
With these three scrappers IN
the ring it looks as if the public
would get a run for it's money,
as each of the contestants is TO
all appearances in it for blood,
is flushed with the hope OF VIC
tory and will spare no effort to
come out of the race victorious.
Yep, it does look as If things
were due to warm up rlghtt
smart, considerable fur fly and
a large amount of gore be split
before this triangular duel IS
settled.
So get a seat near the ring
side, do your betting and root
for your favorite.

AMERICAN LABOR WILL
SUCCEED In LIFE INSURANCE

Some folks laughed when Labor
started to organize banks. Others
thought something worth watching
was coming along. Today there are
labor banks all over the country,
flourishing, we'll managed, profitable
towers of strength for Labor.
Now Labor is going to organize a
big life insurance company.
Some folks laugh. But others think
here is something new worth watch
ing.
Life insurance companies have been
enormously profitable. They have
piled up millions in profits. They
have brought great strength to great
financial interests.
Life insurance companies are tied
up with almost all kinds of Industrial
enterprises. All this, as matters
stand, makes for the strength of those
who frequently oppose Labor.
