San Francisco, Cal.-Building
contractors and material men
have flooded the city with thugs
to smash the Carpenters union.
The anti-union fight is directed
by the Industrial Association.
The terrorism is so pronounced that
the Board of Supervisors of this city
and county recently called on the
chief of police 'to use every means
at his command to prevent any furth-

undesirable characters into this city
for use as strikebreakers.
The chief was ordered to desist
from having his department assist the
Industrial Association or assign po-
licemen for espionage duty.
In opposing the issuance of an in
junction in the Superior Court, the
carpenters produced a large number
of affidavits to prove that the Indus

the shooting and slugging of citizens.

The Southern Ohio Public
Service Co. is making good head
way in the work of raising the
road bed of that portion of their
right of way affected by the
new grade required to conform
to the level of the recently i'm
proved streets. AS soon as the
new rails are received the job
will be rapidly pushed to COM
pletion.
The devil is not always as
black as he is painted, and even
the enemies of the street car
company must admit that some
oftthe grievious sins of commits
sion and omission charged
against the street car bosses do
not hold good when subjected to
calm, honest view of the act
ual situation.
We should hesitate in taking
snap judgment on matters with
which we are ignorant and un-
familiar.
Many who wanted the street
cars scrapped and thrown into
the discard are now heartily be-
hind the citizens committee
which is working so harmonious
ly and honestly to secure their
return. Let us all bury the
hatchet, quit knocking and join
in the move to make Newark a
brighter, better town, and the
most desirable place on Gods
green footstool to live and move
and have our being.

Agents of Big Business Urge
Return to Old COnven-
ton Plan

Washington, u. C.-Excessive
use of money in the Pennsyl-
vania and Illinois primary cleo
tions has brought wide discus
sions of this system. Political
agents of big business urge a re-
turn to the old convention plan.
Many citizens, who forget the back
ground of present primary laws, are
unconsciously aiding the political
agents, and the question promises to
be one of major Importance during
the coming elections and until con-
gress adjourns next March.
President Green has warned citizens
that the primary itself can not guar
antee good government. "No politi-
cal method can do that" he said. "The
fundamentally important factor is the
spirit of citiZenry. Spirit is more
than form.
at is significant that those who
raise the slogan, abolish the primary
are the ones who have tried to cor
rupt it. Certainly they are advisors
whose motives can well be question
ed.
Rather than abolish the primary
we need to educate our citizens to the
responsibilities accompanying their
privileges"

John L. Lewis
Resents Attack
On Wage Scale
Queer For One Govt. Agency to
Kick on Wage Scale Form
ed by Another

Washington, D. C.-John l..
Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, has attacked a
report Of an examiner of the In
terstate Commerce Commission,
who favors higher freight rates
to non-union coal operators be-
cause of union wages in organ
lied fields.
Union coal operators of Indiana
asked for a freight rate reduction of
35 cents a ton. The non-union West
Virginia and Kentucky fields have
advantageous rates.
The commission referred the mat
ter to Examiner Disque, who held
that present rates are not unfair. He
described wages of Indiana miners as
$50 much higher than in non-union
fields in other states" that operators
"are having great difficulty in meet
ing their competitors prices"
In letter to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, President Lewis
said: 81 have never understood it to
be any part of the functions of the
commission to attempt to batter
down the wages of those who labor
Neither have | understood it to be the
function of the commission to permit
its decisions and rules on rate ques-
tfons to be made the vehicle by either
party to an industrial wage contro-
versy, as has been done in this in
stance"
President Lewis pointed out that
existing wages were fixed by the
United States Bituminous Coal Com
mission in 1920. He said it was Eek
traordinary indeed that an official
representative of the Interstate Com
merce Commission would openly de-
nounce the wage scale that was for
mulated and handed to the industry
by another government agency"

British Workers Are in America
oPlead Hunger Cause Of Miners

The visitors were surprised when
they read Premier Baldwin's state
ment cabled to this country that
there is no suffering among British
miners and their families. They ask
if. it is reasonable to suppose that
suffering is not general when more
than 100000 wage earners have
been idle for more than three months.
The miners, they say, are as deter
mined as the day they left the pits.
The government has amended the
miners work-day law, which permits
coal owners to operate an additional
hour, but this has failed of its pur-
pose. The miners demand a national
agreement. The amended law would
legalize district agreements and per-
NIT coal owners to engage in compe-
tition for lower rates that would
make matters worse.

fled that they were offered as high
as 81 900 each for shooting union men,
but in some cases the price was as
low as $3.50. For slugging and black
lacking, the prices were $50 to $1O0.
This money was paid through private

Safety and Hygiene
Address Before Newark Federation
of Labor

John E. Sullivan, special investiga
tor of the Division of Safety and
Hygiene of the Industrial Commits
sion of Ohio, in an interesting and in
structive address before the Newark
Federation of Labor at the last meet
ing, spoke briefly on the splendid
work being accomplished by the COM
mission since it was established by
the legislature in 1923.
Among other things he said the
purpose of division of safety and hy-
giene was the investigation and pre-
vention of industrial accidents and
disease, and place safety engineers
and special Investigators in the field,
and in making surveys of shops and
buildings and in viewing construction
work.
1t is estimated that approximately
25 per cent of all accidents are the
result of negligence on the part of
employees, and the department is en-
deavoring to secure cooperation be-
tween the employer and employe in
order to reduce the number of these
accidents. Greatly improved condi-
tions are evidenced, but employees
still continue to take chances on poor
ly constructed scaffolds, hoists and
ladders which do not give proper pro-
lection to the life and limb of the
worker, and while it is true the men
receive compensation even though in
jured through their own negligence,
it must be acknowledged that safety
is better than compensation, as no
amount of money will compensate
dependent for the loss of life Or
worker for the loss of an arm, leg or
an eye. All workers, therefore, owe
it to their dependents not to take
chances.
Labor has ever stood solidly behind
the Workmans Compensation Law
when selfish interests tried to wreck
it and used their influence and money
to have the law repealed.
Labor has asked for codes and spe-
cific requirements for its protection,
and received them, and having gain
ed these benefits we should not take
chances as so many of us do every
day. Even now there is an average
of three deaths day through indus
trial accidents.
Our intention is to try to reduce
these accidents through the education
of workers in the duty they owe to
themselves and also to place before
the employer the duty he owes to the
workers.
We have speakers who are ready
and willing to visit any shop or group
organization during the noon hour or
at any other time, and talk to gather
ings of workers or employers and ad
wise and consult with them on the
subject of accident prevention. We
ask the employer to provide proper
safeguards for his men, and in return
we urge the employe to take no un-
necessary chances or risks, and espec-
tally not to remove any safeguards,
but to work safe and thereby not only
benefit himself but also his employer.

No Backward Step

The condition of municipal af-
fairs in Newark has often been
severely criticised with seeming
ly sufficient cause, and what
would be considered glaring err
rors have been harshly condem-
ned.
The city's material prosperity
and welfare has not been pro-
crossing by leaps and bounds to
any noticeable extent; but not
so with its spiritual affairs. No
town in the state has evinced a
more active interest in religious
progress than has our own
"good old Newark"
Many beautiful and costly
church edifices have been erect
ed to the glory of God within
the past, and congregations in
the various denominations have
wonderfully increased in num-
bers. Perhaps no religious or
ganization has been more bless
ed with growth and prosperity
than has the First Methodist
church, which on Sunday will
celebrate the final scene in the
building of it's. present magnifi-
cent home, by burning the last
outstanding note, thus destroy
ing the only visible evidence OF
the debt which has hung over it
so long.
In February, 1911, the last
services were held in the old
church, and the following week
the first meeting was held in
the then uncompleted new build
ing, then incumbered by a debt

greatest ever held in this coun-
try.
The plan was launched by the Cen
tral Labor Union, but it grew to such
proportions that the committees now
include representatives of the State
Federation of Labor, officials Of the
three anthracite mining districts and
trade unions along the Atlantic coast.
Trunk line railroads entering this
city announce special three-day ex-
cursion rates from Saturday, Septem-
Der a, until and including Monday,
September 6. 1t is stated that large
delegations from as far west as the
Ohio river will be present. President
Green of the A. F. of L. will be the
principal speaker. Other speakers
will be Matthew Woll, vice president
of the A. F. of L.; John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, and George L. Berry, president
of the International Printing Press
mems and Assistants Union.
Amplifiers in the stadium will
make it possible for the vast audience
to hear the addresses, which will also
be put on the radio.

Mahogany" Term

the words philippine mahogany" on
inferior wood is worrying furniture
dealers and lumber manufacturers.
Their fears are calmed by Gilbert H.
Montague, one of their attorneys, who
assures them that what is now neces-
sary is to coin some trade name to
designate the substitute, as manufac-
turers of artificial silk were compell-
ed to adopt the word "rayon" to dis
tinguish their product from genuine
silk.
The Federal Trade Commission
found that customers believed they
were buying mahogany from the
Philippines, and were unaware that

not genuine.

the wrong of compelling man to

prevailing party would not increase
the cost of justice-it would allocate
it, so far as possible, to the guilty
instead of the innocent party"
