ordered to report in Chicago to vote
the workers a wage cut. Two of these
men boarded Pullman at st. Joseph,
Missouri and fell into conversation
with a well-known Catholic priest as
ISOLATED with the National Catholic
Welfare Council. The Armour rep
resentatives" told the father" that
they had been hastily summoned to
Chicago by the company and had been
given two hours to catch the train
They were obeying orders. Their ex-
penses were paid by the company.
They were on their way. They we're
from Missouri. They didn't know
what the conference was about. They
would probably know when they
reached Chicago.
Vote Wage Cut.
This was Nov. Is. Two days later
these two industrial Legislators joined
their fellows from other Strengthening
plants in accepting the wage reduc-
ton declared by the. company officials.
The wage cut was to be effective on
Nov. %. Other packers fell in line
with a similar cut the workers, in
some instances, being forced thru the
same committee-voting farce. The
packers announced to the world that
great moral victory had been won,
for wage cuts had been accepted with
out strike.
But the publicity guns were fired
too soon. A strike was called by the
militant workers, who were members
of real labor unions. All the packing
houses were affected. Judges were
called in to issue injunctions; state
guards were pressed into anti-picket
duty. The packers refused to deal
with the representatives of the trade
unions. They coaxed and pleaded and
bribed and coerced the representa-
tives" Of their canned committees.

order to arrive at decision favorable

OF course ethe highest executive of
the company has the final veto

tention of final power in the hands
Of the management, VIM. Bassett, well
known industrial engineer says:
"Over all, the executives should for the
present retain the right to veto. But
l have never known an executive who
found it necessary to exercise the
right to veto.- Out Of some hundreds
of cases of quasi-democratic shop
government have yet to find rad
ical measure that passed"
Armour, the Autocrat.
The same is true Of the Armour
conference board plan. 1t permits an
appeal to thei czar over all-the gem
eral superintendent. From his decis-
ion the worker can appeal to god if
he so desires.

sides at allomeetings of the general

SWIFT CONCERN
TRIES TO AVOID
COMPENSATION
Libby, Mcneil & Libby
Doctor Aids Scheme
BY A Worker corrssponasns

Following an accident to one of the
girls in the lard pail department at
the Libby, Mcneil G. Libby plant In
Chicago, the company doctor has been
making numerous attempts to get the
girl to leave the company employ and
lose her rights under the workmen's
compensation law.
AS the girl was going across the
floor in the lard pail department,
which had just been washed, she
slipped and tainted. Since her fall
she has fainting spells now. She did
not have these spells before the fall.
Doctor Hands Out advice"
She has been under the care of the
company doctor and is taking treat
ments from him now. The doctor has
told her every time that she went to
see him, "You had better leave this
work for it does not agree with you"
He has made many attempts to get
her to leave the company employ.
The workers in the same depart
ment have told her not to leave the
company's employ and have advised
her to demand compensation for her
injuries. "The doctor is only trying
to get the company out of paying what
belongs to your" declared one Of the
workers. "You just stay here and put
in your claim for damages. Don't let
them cheat you out of it."
Company Cheats Workers.
The Libby, Mcneil & Libby COM
pany is a subsidiary of the Swift meat
packing company and every time that
the company can escape paying COM
pensation for accidents that are caus-
ed by company negligence they try to
do so. The doctors always tell the
girls and men that are seriously
hurt: "the work does not agree with
you" Some of the workers leave the
company employ upon the advice" of
the doctor and the company pockets
what they would have to pay as COM
pensation.

representatives and company ofic-
ial will be chosen to make "a survey
of wages" The figures are supplied
by the company and explained to the
"employe representatives" by the
company statisticians and bookkeep-
ers. The company pets are usually
impressed with the appalling COM
plexity of the problem. They are
made to see how the company might
lose money and be unable to pay divi-
dends on it's stock should the workers
get two-penny wage increase. They
are soon found nodding their heads
with the company experts and figure
jugglers. The suggested wage in
crease, after much delay, is declared
impossible, and the chairman passe
on to the next item on the agend1
This may be the matter of drinklr
cups, locker accommodations, athlet
clubs or some other momentous que
ton upon which the company can al
ford to yield an inch once the wage
issues have been shelved.
Sell Speed-up to Workers.
The chief purpose of the various
conference boards and the powerless
"employe representatives" is to sell
some idea to the rank and file of the
workers. The company committee
men are soaked with practical eco
nomics," facts about the business,
anti-union propaganda. They in turn
are the statesmen Of these poisons to
the workers who are supposed to have
chosen" them. They do their job
well, as the stories now appearing in
The DAILY WORKER well illustrate.

out and the wage reductions we're
pushed down the workers threats.
Swift and company echoed the chorus
Of joy among the packers when its
publicity experts announced with
reference to the strike and it's out

ployes into our confidence" Such cpl

The Swift Plan.
employees representation" a la
Swift, like the other such schemes in
vogue in the industry, has been used
to give the workers the feeling that
they are securing for themselves,
thru their elaborate machinery of d.
visions and committees and assembl-
les, such crumbs of welfare and "im-
provement" as the management cares
to bestow upon them. The plan, as
outlined in handsome literature dis
tributed free to the public, informs us
that it inspires interest in the bust
ness" among the workers and gives
the employees an opportunity "for
learning the point of view of their
employers" The "employe represen-
tative," elected from a plant division
is advised by the company to circu-
late around among the men and pick
up such grievances as he may find
and refer them to the committees.
The assumption seems to be that the
workers are not likely to bring such
matters voluntarily to the "represen-
tative" and that he must therefore
make business" for the plan particu-
larly in the matter of petty grievances
which can be disposed of "satisfactor-
lily" by the company plan without
cost. The major questions of wages
or hours are pushed to the rear and
are only given consideration when the
company regards the competitive

SHEFFIELD HUNGRY

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 2t--"Viceroy
Of Mexico" Sheffield after playing
his nine-hole game Of golf at the
Mexico City Country Club was not
able to get the warm bath that he
demanded nor even a sandwich at
the clubs lunch room because of
the walters strike at the club.
The American ambassador then
entered his ear-wlthout his bath
and his luneheon--and started for
his mansion. He found the gates Of
the country club locked and deco
rated with red and black flags. The
pickets allowed his car to 90 thru
and then the gates were locked.
