COmmendatiOn and Criticism Handed

Just by Our Hired Man
BILLS" ALL RIGHT

Y. M. C. A. "Bill", in a little spiel
in one Of the city dailies the other
night puts up proposition that looks
pretty good, and it gets you coming
and going; that it works out equally
well both in winter and summer.
Bill" is a good sport and an all
round he man, and has the health
and happiness of the younger genera
tion thoroughly at heart.
Briefly he favors an ice skating rink
of some kind or other, which would
enable all of us to enjoy the sport
without going to Hebron, Buckeye
Lake or some other seaport for
little fun. He suggests a permanent
pool of 200 feet or more in diameter,
which would give US the skating in
winter and "swimmin' hole" in sum-
mer properly constructed, fenced in
and equipped with dressing and retir-
ing rooms, and life guard to insure
US against accidents, and suggests
the White Athletic Field as an ideal
location for the outfit.
All this sounds mighty good, and
the scheme might be put across. or
"sold" as "Bill" says, if a few more
live wires like himself would grab
hold and hustle for the necessary
spondulix. The various women's or
ganizations would undoubtedly en-
dorse it and everybody knows that
woman usually gets what she goes
after; and they do say that "Bill'' is
a smooth talker himself. Such a COM
blnation might accomplish wonders.
Let's get busy and put her across.

c. B. & @. Railway
Can Afford Increase

Chicago-The ability of the Chica-
go Burlington & Quincy railroad to
pay the wage increases won by en-
gineers and firemen in recent nego-
tiations is indicated in the prelimin-
ary statement of the carrier showing
1924 profits of $22,00O,OOO after taxes
and interest on its bonds and notes.
This means a profit of $3.50 on ev-
cry share of the $170,839, 100 capital
stock.
The 1924 profits really mean a re-
turn of nearly 20@6 on the capital
stock as it existed before the $780,
100000 stock dividend issued in 1921.
The road is paying regular cash divi-
dends of 1919 which means 1870 on
the original stock.
The Burlington now joins the list of
western carriers on which the engine
service brotherhoods through their
economic strength have obtained a
better settlement than that awarded
by the Railroad Labor board.

Pennsy at Old Tricks
Resists Trade Unions

Chicago-Officials of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad have renewed their de-
fense of their company union, which
has been overwhelming ly rejected by
telegraphers employed on that sys-
tenn.
By vote of 4,258 to 318, the tel
egraphers selected the Order of Rail-
road Telegraphers as their wage ne
gotiator, though railroad officials at
tempted to intimidate these employees
into voting for the company union"
The railroad labor board controlled
the election. The transportation act
provides that railroad employees may
select their own representatives, and
under this section of the law, the bal
loting was held.
The verdict will not be accepted by
the railroad management, whose Off
cials have called for an election by
the company union" In an address
in this city, Vice President Atterbury
assailed attempts, governmental and
otherwise, to drive a wedge between
railroad management and railroad en-
ployes."
General Atterbury said any en-
ploye can belong to any union he de-
sires, but the railroad company in
sists Oh dealing with its own en-
ployes.
In other words, these employees may
belong to union, but the company

November Wage Statistics Given by
Commission Prove Increase Fallacy
Iceland Olds in Federated Press)

The failure of wage increases
granted train and engine service en-
ployes during 1924 to compensate
them fairly for changes in working
conditions involving layoffs and pay
for fewer hours is revealed in the No
vember wage statistics of the inter-
state commerce commission.
The average rail employe in this
group, according to the commissions
figures, could have received $209 for
his services during November, 1924,
without increasing the wage cost Of
freight service above the previous
year when he received $193. Such an
average monthly wage would have
meant that labor was getting the full
benefit of changes in operating con-
ditions which enabled the railroads to
carry the same ton-miles of freight
with 7.5% fewer freight service en-
ployes and 10.9% fewer hours paid
for.
Even if agreed that half the saving
due to this increase in efficiency
should go to a reduction in freight
rates the pay might have been $201
instead of only $196, the actual aver
age for November, 1924.
The railroads of the country trans
ported almost exactly the same num-
ber of ton-miles of freight in No
vember 1924 as in 1923, the figure be-
ing about 38,000,000. But they paid
their freight service employees for
only 35,203,2 ,268 hours of work in No
vember 1924 compared with 39,521,-
453 in 1923 and the total compensa-
tion was $30,138,736 instead of $32,-
110,859
The effect on the four major occu-
pations was: Freight engineers num-
bered 81, ,769 in November 1924, re-
duction from 34,375 in November
1923. They were compensated for T.
315, 1868 hours of work in place of g.
1872 ,164 and received a total of ST.
944, ,441 for the month instead of the
$8,618,676 in November 1923. This
meant reduction in per capita earn
ings from $251 to $3.50.

ers, or their private employees, are
given absolute and despotic control of
the discipline of the prisons where
they operate, and they are permitted
to work the convicts under the vicious
"task" system. The "task" demanded
in every instance is greater produc-
tion than free workers achieve. AL
most universally the prison labor con-
tractors foreman has the determining
power in the administration of pun
ishments, and nine-tenths of all pun
ishments administered to prisoners
are for failure to make the "task,'
and not for bad behavior.
No other industry has ever succeed
ed in inducing the taxpayers to pay
all the overhead, and the state to pro-
vide slave labor at a fraction of the
maintenance cost Yet this is exactly
what the prison labor contractors
have ''put over" on the American peo-
pie.
These conditions would not exist 80
days if the taxpayers refused to pat
ronize convict labor contractors, and
if every member Of organized labor
and every other decent-minded citizen
demanded the union label on their
purchase.
Don't waste your breath cussing the
politicians and prison labor contrac-
tors.
Stop buying prison-made goods!

Ohio Women Farmers
Total Thousands
Especial to The LEADER

Ohio boasts 1000 lady farmers, ac-
cording to data analyzed by the Blue
Valley Creamery Institute. Of this
number over 5000 operate farms,
$500 their own, thirty-five as man.
ayers and not quite 900 as tenants,
the data disclosed.
Dairying, poultry and hog raising
are some Of the branches of agricul
ture in which the women farmers of
the state specialize, the analysis re-
vealed. The land under cultivation by
the feminine agriculturists is close to
100000 acres, of which 100000 acres
are improved. The value Of these
farms is sixty-one million dollars.
The figures further revealed that
women cultivate 3.5 per cent of all
farms in the state and &c per cent
of the total acreage, the value being
2.3 per cent of the whole. The aver
age value of the land and buildings on
farms operated by women was found
to be in excess of $4,000.
Commenting on the large percent
age of women who go in for dairy
ing and poultry raising, the Institute
sees a peculiar adaptation of these
occupations to the feminine nature.
From early times, it says, the aver
age farm woman has had to care for
the milk and act as dairymaid, too.
And milking cows and selling butter
fat with its requirements of close at
tention to details seems to be a type
of work that woman naturally takes
to. The same appears to hold true
for poultry raising. For pin money
for the thousand and one items need
ed in the home, the sale of eggs and
poultry and cream has ever been
known as a sure means. Many a
woman in need of more money has al
most instinctively turned to milking
cows and keeping hens.

Canadian Manufacturers Asso.
Has Failed in Anti Union Plan

Hamilton, Ontario - The anti
union policy of the Canadian
manufacturers association has
failed.
This change was noted at a meet
ing in this city when representatives
of the association declined to join in
the fight against the British Column
bia eight-hour law. In reading the
report of the industrial relations COM
mittee, Chairman Antilles emphasized
the need for changed attitude to-
ward organized labor One delegate
offered an amendment, which practi-
cally rejected the new position, but
Colonel Hatch, the presiding officer
courteously refused to submit the
amendment The anti-unionist arose
in angry protest, but the meeting
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-02-13

ignored his complaint.
Advocates Of the new policy insist
that if any group of business men
wish to oppose organized labor they
are at liberty to do so, but the
Canadian manufacturers association
should cease being a party to every
unon-smashing movement. This pol
icy, it is shown, has alienated the or
ganized workers and sympathizers
from attempts of the Canadian man
ufacturers' association to interest
these forces in legislation that is in
tended to be helpful to Canada.
1t is claimed that officers of the
association even attempted to control
newspapers of the Dominion and that
they held secret conferences to furth-
er that plan.

Horab Tabernacle, No. 8, Ancient
independent Order of Moses, was
convicted by Judge John P. Nc
Mahon in Police Court yesterday and
sentenced to serve ninety days in
Jail, after a number of his lodge
brothers had testified against him.

was entrusted with $25 to pay for
the funeral of a deceased member
of the order. The funeral expenses
were not paid, and Brown was
made to admit that he had used
the money himself. He intended to
pay it back in short time he said.
When asked by the court why he
had taken the money he said that
he had sick sister, but denied
that she was a sister of the lodge.
1t developed that four months had
passed and no effort was made to
return the money.
