Indiana Appellate Court
Rules Against Contractor
Who Broke Wage Agreement

By international Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind-The appellate
court of Indiana has given a decision
which is expected to set a precedent
in the matter of upholding wage con-
tracts and the management of en-
ployers' associations with regard to
agreements on wages of employees.
The case was that of John Androff
a Porter county contractor, and the
New Amsterdam Casualty Company
against the Building Trades Employ
ers' Association of the Calumet re-
gion. In the appeal Androff and the
Casualty Company were attempting
t oset aside a judgment against them
received in the Porter circuit court,
but the appellate court decided that
the judgment should stand as rem
dered.
The history of the case is that
Androff became member of the as

Instead of following the old system
of hundreds Of separate negotiations
Stone divided the country into three
divisions, and taking them one at a
time, obtained agreements by consul.
tation with the Western and South.
eastern divisions he had set up, and
when the controversies with the
troublesome Eastern division deleop.
ed into deadlock, forced an agree
ment by compromise.
Put Up Big Building
One of Stones early achievements
in behalf of the engineers was the
erection Of the brotherhood 14-story
office building in Cleveland. 1t paid
for itself in ten years, when it was
valued at more than $3,000,O0O. An
other feature of his administration
was compulsory life insurance for all
engineers.
In 1918 he yas authorized to start
a cooperative bank in Cleveland. 1t
was opened November IL, 1920, with
a capital of $500,000 and surplus of
100000. Three years later it's re-
sources were nearly $25 100000. This
was followed by the establishment of
several other banks, controlled by the
brotherhood, and in addition a SUBJ
stantial interest was acquired in the
Empire Trust Company, of New
York. Next the Brotherhood Holding
Company, conceived by Mr.. Stone, was
incorporated in 1922 for $1,OOO.OO0,
the stock being sold entirely to en-
gineers. A year later the Brother
hood Investment Company was incor-
porated with a capital of $4,000, 900.
A 21-story building for the bank was
erected in Cleveland and the Brother
hood Building Association acquired a
History building in the same city.
Purchased Coal Mine
Under Stones guidance the en-
gineers as individuals invested more
than $2,000,000 in coal mine proper
ties in Kentucky and West Virginia
and financed mail order store on a
profit sharing basis to provide them
selves with the necessities of life.
Politically, Mr.. Stone was repub-
lican, but he was one of the originat-
ors and leaders in the conference for
progressive political action and was
one of the chief financial hackers and
supporters of the movement which
sponsored the candidacy of Senator
Robert NJ La Toilette for president
in the last campaign.
Mr.. Stones activity in connection
with the Plumb plan of railway own
ership and the La Toilette presiden-
tial campaign were perhaps his most
notable connections with politics.

sociation in 1921, and as a member
posted bond of 81 900 that he would
not violate the bylaws of the asso-
citation, which set maximum wage to
be paid by the members for labor He
was charged by the association with
violating the agreement by paying
higher wages, and late in 1921 the as
sociation brought suit on the Androf
bond In the lower court judgment
was rendered against Androff and the
surety company and this award has
been upehld by the higher court.
Labor leaders say the case opens
the way for suits against associations
whose members repudiate wage agree
ments and force wage cuts in defiance
of existing agreements They say IL
associations can sue members for vio-
lation Of rules in paying higher wages
trade unions can sue for violations of
contract when wages are reduced.

Born on Iowa Farm

Warren Sanford Stone was born on
a farm near Ainsworth, Iowa, Febru-
ary l, 1860. He was strong boy and
with his five brothers he aided his
father in cultivating the farm. He
obtained what education he could in
the somewhat inadequate schools of
his locality and supplemented his
school instruction with wide reading.
In his eighteenth year he had saved
enough money to enable him to spend
q few months in Western College, the
best educational institution in that
part of Iowa.
His father wished Stone to become
a lawyer, but the youth wanted to be
a surgeon. Hoping to earn the money
that would take him through some
college, Stone, then 19, took job as
fireman on the Rock Island railroad.
Finding that he liked railroading,
Stone stayed close to his job on the
Rock Island for 25 years, working as
fireman and engineer. He was still
doing regular shift work in the loco
motive cab as engineer, when in 1908,
on the death of P M. Arthur, he was
called to assume the office Of grand
chief Of the International Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers.
Held Many Offices
In the meantime he had held the
minor Offices in his division local OF
the brotherhood, was chairman of the
division grievance committee and had
served as chairman Of the central
committee of adjustment of the en-
tire Rock Island system.
Almost Immediately upon his as
sumption of the chief office Of the
powerful engineers brotherhood he
became national figure because of
his own characteristics and accom-
plishments, aside from the prestige Of
his office Railroad workers all
over the country were dissatisfied
with the prevailing wage and working
conditions and trouble loomed.

FRAME UP" FAILS

Montpelier, lnd-Charges against
AZ members of Iron Molders' Union
No. 357 have been dismissed and the
whirlwind of public opposition to
these workers has been replaced by
a belief that they were 'frame-up"
victims.
The charges followed bomb ex-
plosion, two years ago. The union
lists were on strike at the time. They
were thrown into Jail, and public
opinion was so bitter that the accus-
ed could not secure fair trial.
The county prosecutor was mainly
responsible for this hystreia. One
member of the union was convicted,
and the policy of driving the other
unionists out of this place was openly
advocated. The workers attorney,
A. G. Emshwiller, risked public os-
tracism because he dared defend the
strikers.

unionist, more than year ago, this
community gave evidence of return
ing sanity. A settlement was reach
ed with the struck foundries, and the
cases have been dismissed. The con
victed unionist is at liberty under
bond, pending trial on appeal 1t is
predicted that the trial will result
in acquittal.
The prosecuting attorney is dis,
credited and his political aspirations
have been destroyed He was EN-
ployed by the foundries to secure ar
injunction against the strikers.

Illinois Passes Anti-lnjunction Bill;

tmen and women of Illinois.
Negro Members Turned the Seal

'HleU ana WOIIleU OIL llllIlOlS,
Negro Members Turned the Scale
The thing that finally turned the
scales in labor's favor in the house
was the fact that two of the four
negro members voted in favor of the
bill on final passage The vote was 78
to IS. 1t takes n votes to make a
constitutional majority All four
negro members of the house and one
negro senator had consistently voted
against labor previously on the
ground that organized labor was exer-
cising discrimination against the ne
gro race.
This false impression was partially
removed after the visit Of delega-
tion of Chicago negro trade unionists
to Springfield, and following con
ference by ED Wright, the Chicago
negro political leader, with large
group of negro trade unionists at the
headquarters of the Illinois State Fed
Grafton of Labor in Chicago
Small Put Weight Behind Measure
Not the least of the factors enter
ing into the final result was that
Governor Len Small threw the entire
weight of his administration behind
the bill. He had made campaign
pledge that such an act should be
placed on the statute books, and he
insisted that the pledge be kept.
The fact that the democrats in the
house furnished more than one-half
of the votes for the bill is noteworthy
and should not be overlooked in ap-
praising values.

Chicago.-The enactment of the
Cuthbertson Soderstrom injunction

assembly is another victory for the
American labor press, particularly in
reference to those labor papers which
are allied with International Labor

This statement is not meant to in
any wise detract from the splendid
services rendered by the many
staunch friends of the bill in and
outside of the legislature, or to ig-
more the capable leadership of the

| 1T up to the session of the general
assembly just ended. Previously the
bill had never even passed either of
the two houses. 1t passed both
branches Of the legislature this time
after being twice defeated in the
house during the same session.
The big determining factor in this
result was the sledge- hammer blows
of international Labor News Service,
delivered through labor papers scat
tered all over the North American
continent. The white light of pub
licity thus thrown on the great bat
tie being waged in this state gener-
ated public opinion that forced the
hands of the political leaders and
caused the bill to be enacted into law
A good way to illustrate the stu
alton and the final result is to say
that the previous battles over meas
ure of this kind were fought with
small arms only by organized labor,
while the heavy artillery was all on
the side of capital
Labor Press the Artillery
In the warfare just ended Interna-
tional Labor News Service and the
labor press of America composed the
artillery of labor and succeeded in
laying down a fire that blasted away

der the command of their able officers
then went in and mopped up the
enemy.
