Johnston Fights Gamely.
Defeat came to Johnston as it al
ways has come in the past--with the
little Californian fighting back gamely
to sta.ye off q sensational finish on
the part of Tilden and his teammate
from Springfield, Mass. But he found
the Philadelphia wizard in one of his
marvellous winning moods, with serv-
ice, drive and volley under complete
command, and, despite a thrilling
stand in the final set, the Far West
contingent could not beat back the
closing rush of the Eastern comblna'
ton.
Chandler bore up well with john
ston in the gripping rallies of the fifth
set. 1t was largely through the bril-
| liant passing shots of the University
of California athlete that the Pacific
Coast players were able to break
through the service of Chaplin to pull

Shop Crafts Resist
Speed-Up; But That's
In Far Australia

SYDNEY-(FP) -Machinis and
allied craftsmen employed in the rail
way shops in New South Wales have
taken steps to put an end to the
speeding-up system. The machinists
have ordered members not to engage
in piece, bonus or contract work under
a penalty of IS for the first offence,
$40 for the second and expulsion for
the third.
The Taylor time-card system caused
the disastrous general strike of 1917.
1t was said at the time that unless
effective protest was made, more
speeding-up would follow. When the
shopmen were defeated the card sys-
tenn was operated to the fullest ex-
tent, and before long displaced by
the Taylor bonus system. Under this
men we're forced to compete against
each other and bonuses were paid
on excess production.
The bonus system destroyed com
radeship between the men and was
responsible for bad workmanship.

NOVA SCOTIA
union STRUCK
BY DECISION
Incredible Outrage BY
Royal Commission

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Jan. 1s. =
The royal commission which was APP
pointed following the tidal wave Of
revolt among the Nova Scotia miners Of
District &c last year against the wage
cut Of ten per cent, revolt that en-
gagged the whole working class of
Canada In relief for the Incredibly OPP
pressed and heroic miners of Cape
Breton Island, has at last rendered its
decision.
Body Blow at Union.
In one word it is-as was expected
by all intelligent workers, an approval
Of 10 per cent cut--a body blow at
the union and support Of the bar
barous and murderous thuggery of
Bloody Besco." as the British EN-
pire Steel corporation is known.
True, the commissions decision is
such as to veil over with some slight
censure of Besco the commissions
clear support of the interests of cap
ital against the interests of the starv-
ing hovel-housed miners whose misery
and unemployment only couple of
days before the decision was given
had driven them to mass seizure and
confiscstion of food from stores in the
mining camps. But the class nature
of the decision cannot be concealed,
especially the blow at the u. M. w.
of A.
The ten per cent wage reduction
was fully justified" says the com
mission, and while the company is
recommended to frankly, accept" the
U. M. w. as representing the miners,
the check-off is to be abolished. The
royal commission, as royal commits
sions are prone to do, went at some
length into the distributing factor
of Communist ideas and work in the
union which interfered with thar
mony" between the company and the
Lewis machine.
Slaps Besco on Wrist.
Some phases of the decision against
the company are the claims that the
81 per cent wage cut in 1922 was I'M
justified (but that was done and it
doesn't restore the cut to condemn
it,, that the shipyards attack on
unionism by Besco was a challenge to
the miners union which forced them
into action, and the decision that the
steel company must pay fair price
for its coal from its mines, thus al
lowing the mines a margin of profit
which in turn must be the basis Of
wage rates-the coal mines to stand
on their own feet and the wages not
to be regulated by the combined profit
Of mines and mills, with the miners to
have access to information as to the
mines ability to pay.
OF course, the commission stresses
the necessity of harmony and Co
operation"
