destined to go on at an increasing
rate, and no power on earth can stop
1t. The more the capitalist press
bowls at the worker the more the ordi-
nary man, ignorant of economic knowl-
edge, becomes conscious of his ignor-
ance and boldly or shyly turns to his
better-informed workmate to get an
understanding, and with this comes
the light, and this man is lost as a
supporter of capitalism as a conse-
quence.
Difference in Method.
THIS explains why there is a differ
l. ence in the methods of running
strikes and lockouts now compared to
former days. There was always some
among those affected who are alive
to the necessity of presenting the inn
mediate struggle in its right relation
ship to the class struggle.
The miners in Britain have been
subjected to rough experiences at
the hands of the mine owners periodi-
cally for a generation. During this
period the trade unions have grown
and working conditions improved, but
since the finish of the world war de-
termined attacks have been made on
the miners by the owners, plus the
government.
Minority Movement Demands.
THERE as many miners very keen
upon getting the mines for the ma

YANzETTI WARNS OF
CAMPAIGN OF SILENCE
BY The PLUTE PRESS

In his latest letter to Interna-
tionaI Labor Defense, 6artoIomeo
Vanzettl warns against any tend
eney to slaeken efforts in helping to
mobilize the expression Of workers
thruout the land in behalf Of Nicola
saeco and Vanzetti himself. The
bitter experiences that these two
workers have already had for six
years with capitalist courts has
taught them that the will Of the
workers alone holds out hope for
their speedy release.
vanzetti writes as follows:
"After having eIamored for =
prompt execution, and, then, done
its darndest best to minimize the
Importance of the new evidences in
our behalf, in order to destroy their
eventual moral effects on the pub
Iic-the pIutocratie press Is now sill

be deceived by the actual sppa---t

one of you be deceived by the
sneaking, mortal enemy.

TO STRIKE F6n :
4O-HOUR Week
Walkout in New York
Early Part Of July
lspseIaI to Nae DaIIy w0rksrl


NEW YORK - (FP)-June Fl. -
Only change in the attitude Of the
cloak and suit manufacturers toward
the union demands can avert strike
Of the $4,000 members Of the lnterna-
tlonal Ladies' Garment Workers
Union. The unions joint board has
issued call for mass meeting in
Madison Square Garden on June 20,
at 4 p. m. At that time final word of
the workers to their employers in
advance Of the expected strike will
be said.
Manufacturers and sub-contractors
in the employers industrial council
have accepted the recommendations
of the governors special mediation
commission with regard to wage and
working conditions, but the Interna-
tional Ladies' Garment Workers I'm
ion has rejected those recommends
tions, contending that they ignored
the principal grievances of the work
ers. The jobbers have not yet an
nounced their position.
For two years this controversy has
been brewing. The union demands
include 40-hour week and a guaran-
tee of SO -weeks' work year. If the
employers persist in their present at
titude, it is likely that the $4,000
workers concerned will walk out early
in July.

Massachusetts Labor Opens
Fight for Adoption by State Of
Ohio Compensation Fund Plan

By international Labor News Service
Boston.-Pointing out that it is
now the universal judgment of labor
that "the fair and just way of admin
through the establishment of an ex-
elusive state insurance fund under
state CONTROL" President William
Green, of the American Federation
of Labor, fired the heavy guns at the
! state house before the joint judiciary
committee in the campaign of organ
/ lied labor to drive the private insur-
ance companies out of this field in
Massachusetts,
President Green; President John P.
Frey, of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, and Chairman Thomas J.
Duffy, of the Ohio Industrial Acct
dents Commission, which administers
the insurance law there, told the Mas
sachusetts legislature committee that
organized labor and organized manu-
facturers unite every year to oppose
efforts of the private insurance COM
panies to amend "the Ohio plan"
President Green denied that adop-
tion of ''the Ohio plan" in Massachu-
setts could be properly designated as
the opening wedge of socialism" "
He declared labor would not think of
challenging the business of the pri-
vate underwriters in life, fire and ac-
cident insurance and other "legiti
mate fields"
The principle he propounds, he said,
is that from 90 to 98 cents of every
dollar collected in premiums from in
dustry should be used for the com
pensation of disabled workers and of
the widows and children of those who
are killed" Under the present sys-
tenn, he declared, with the private in
surance carriers in the field, "only
about so cents is used for compen-
sation, and the other 40 cents are
for profits, dividends, overhead ex-
,penses and agents commissions"
Should the judgment of the work
ing people," Green submitted, weigh
heavily with the legislature? | think
| it should influence you very greatly
in determining an act of legislation OF
this kind, because the workers are the
most directly concerned. 1t is the
worker who sustains the injury, who
courts danger seen and unseen, daily;
it is he who suffers and whose fam
lily suffers, and it is he who is expos
ed to death. That being SO, should
not the view of the worker influence
the character of the compensation
law"

New York Labor Demands State Control of
Workers Compensation Insurance Fund
Big Saving to All Industry
Shown if Law Patterned on
Ohio Legislation is Adopted

BY International Labor News Service.
Albany, N. Y.-One of the biggest
demonstrations ever held at Albany
was staged by the New York State
Federation of Labor in behalf of a
bill for an exclusive state insurance
fund to compensate workers for in
juries and to protect their widows and
families in the event of death as the
result of their toll
Bitter protest was made by Presi-
dent Sullivan, of the State Federation
of Labor, and the delegation at the
proposed republican plan to side
track all legislation by an investiga-
ton. They rallied to the support of
Governor Smith in opposition to the
republican majority.
Millions would be saved the employ
ers of the state if they would pay
their premiums for insuring employees
into an exclusive state fund, it was
pointed out by John M. O'Hanlon, sec
retary-treasurer of the State Fedora

the Ohio law in principle as proposed
in the labor bill.

URGE WALL STREET
TO "CLEAN HOUSE"

New York.-Wall street will face
radical legislation if it does not wig
orously clean house," said Professor
William Z. Ripley, of Harvard Uni
versity, in continuing his protest
against corporations issuing stock to
the public that has no voting power.
The arrangements of these corpora
tions retain control by placing all
power in select stock, which they or
other "insiders" hold
IF public utility corporations force
the issue" said Professor Ripley, "it
will not be the first fracas of the
kind that l have been in 1t will be
but repetition of the fight to clean
up the railroads, which started in
1900 If the railroads had united at
occurrences as the notorious reorgani-
zation of the Chicago & Alton by
Hartman they might never had
much of the federal legislation which
later was enacted"
The so-called Consumer owner
ship" of public utilities as good and
bad features, said Professor Ripley.
This system is fraught with dan
gerous possibilities, which may de-
generate into practical bribery of the
participating consumer to acquiesce
in scale of rates unjust to the non
investing consumer"
Prof Ripley's charge has aroused
opposition of public utility companies,
who reply with the usual charges of
attacks on capital" as did rail-
road wreckers 25 years ago.

NAIL THIS!
Well-Fed Stomach New
Wage System for
Car Men

Philadelphia. - "The full dinner
pail" political slogan of 80 years
ago, has been revived as a method to
determine wage rates by the Phila-
delphia Rapid Transit Company.
Cultural values, education and higher
living standards will be subordinated
to the one question:: "How much does
it take to fill workers stomach ?"
The company is anti-union, and
maintains company union" Rates
are now determined by the average
rate paid in Detroit, Cleveland and
Chicago. The street car men of these
cities are thoroughly organized.
Whenever they are successful in
their fight for higher living stand
ards, the local company falls in line.
This trailing behind" will be re-
placed by the full dinner pail
The company-not the union
announces the new plan. A number
of market baskets with fixed con-
tents, have been prepared, the prices
of which are determined from month
to month. Wages are adjusted so that
at all times the contents Of the pay
envelope shall be sufficient to buy
the same number of standard market
baskets.

CAR MEN DENIED
RAISE

San Francisco. - Admitting that
wages are inadequate, the finance
committee of the city's board of super
visors refused to raise wages of plat
form and track men employed on the
municipal street care system.
Patrons are saving more than
$1,500,000 annually because of a s.
cent fare, but the committee said that
an increase would mean deficit in
two years.
In l3 years the street car line has
put more than $3,2OO,0O0 in additions
and betterments and has reduced it's
bonded Indebtedness to $3,69l ,000
but a living wage can not be paid.
The unionists will carry their fight
to the board of supervisors.
