Long Strike Is
VeryCostly to
Wage Cutters
The American Thread Company
Lost Over Half Million
Last Year

New York-Wall street re-
ports show that wage reduction
efforts of the American Thread
Company, at Willimantic, Conn.,,
is a costly venture.
The company's financial statement
which makes no reference to the
strike-shows net loss of $552,7
for the year ended March 81, 1926.
AS compared with this loss, the
company made a profit of SLOT 1926
in 1925. Profits in 1924 were $1,501,-
544, and in 1923 totaled $2,113,302.
+ Not satisfied with these returns,
the company announced 10 par cent
wage cut a year ago last June. More
than $500 employees suspended work.
They are still out, despite every effort
by Injunction judges, Cossacks and
other strikebreaking devices to drive
them back to the mills.
The workers are aided by the Unit
ed Textile Workers of America.
President Mcmahon of the textile
workers has repeatedly shown that
the company's demand for wage re-
ductions is not justified, and that its
financial record, up to the beginning
of the strike, was a series of stock
split-ups and high dividends.

Yellow Dog
Contract Is
Very Unfair
Necessities of Workers Often
Compel Them to Sign
Against Judgment

Akron, O.-Me yellow dog
contract is based on unfairness,
said Jhon P. Frey, president of
the Ohio State Federation of
Labor, in his report to the an
nual convention.
Under this contract a worker
agrees not to join a trade union or
take collective action to improve work
conditions. To secure employment
workers are forced to sign these waiv-
ers of their rights.
The yellow dog was upheld by the
United States supreme court Decem-
Der 10, 1917, in the case of Hitchman
Coal Company versus United Mine
Workers. The company compels en-
ployes to accept the yellow dog.
When organizers of the miners union
discussed unionism with these work
ers, the former were enjoined The
injunction was upheld by the supreme
court on the ground that the yellow
dog is contract.
Trade unionists insist that the law
of contract is based on. mutuality of
interests, and that neither party must
use force or coercion to have the 9th
er accept same.
This law is violated by yellow dog
employers. They take advantage of
a workers needs and force him to
agree not to do thing he has a law
full right to do.

Cheap Labor
A Delusion
OF No Value
The American Workers Compar-
ed With Those of Europe
and Asia

Portland, Cheap labor
is a delusion," says the Morning
Oregonian. This admission by
a newspaper that labor consid
ers unusually friendly to big
business is another Endorsement
OF the long trade union fight for
high wages.
To prove that high wages is the
best investment, the editorial quotes
per-man production of American
workers in several industries. as
against production of European
workers in the same industries.
Supposed cheapness of manual
labor and consequent slowness to in
stall machinery is a delusion that
goes far to explain why Europe and
Asia lag behind America in industry.
On the other hand, high wages led
American industry to take the lead
in introducing labor-saving machin-
cry. The result has been that in
many industries increased productive
ness per man per day more than off
sets the higher wages and that pro-
ductive capacity has been so increas-
ed as to provide employment for all
the labor that machines displaced"

A new insight into the mind of
the Red Man--what he thinks of
Pale Face civilization, and WHY'S
revealed by Chief Long Lance of
the Blackfoot Indians in an article
on "My Trail Upward" in the June
issue of Hearst's international
Cosmopolitan Magazine. In this
article Chief Long Lance tells how
an ignorant young Indian buck,
with a brain as tough as raw
buffalo meat" pulled himself up by
his bootstraps from a primitive
and backward life to the position
of an intelligent. educated "man-
of-the-world."
Although he had been taught his
ABC's by a missionary on the
Blackfoot reservation, it was an
old-fashioned bartender out in
Laramie, Wyoming. who first in.
spired Long Lance with the ambi-
tion to understand the ways of the
white man.
81 was at that time sixteen
years old and a full fledged cow
hand" he writes. 81 could ride
almost anything that stood on four
feet and / was proud to be a cow
puncher That was doing Pretty
well at that for an ignorant. half
savage Young buck"

The
Hired
Man
Digest
Bound to Get EN-
st
WITH
APOLOGIES

Probably some people who
read the bible enthusiastically
will recall the story of the man
who gave the feast and invited
a great crowd of friends to come
in and partake of his bounty.
But for some reason or other
the bunch renigged and rows of
empty chairs and benches greet
ed the eyes of the expectant
host when the time for the blow
out rolled around. So he got
busy and sent out his servants
with orders to hunt around in
the slums and under the hedges
and bring in the output of the
dragnet. By this means he got
rid of the feast prepared for
people who didn't want it and
refused to accept it as a free
gift.
The evident predicament of
the City Rapid Transit Co.
brings this story to mind. This
new applicant for patronage,
like the would-be host at an
cient banquet, made great prep
arations for handling the expect
ed guests, but whens the event
full time arrived the multitude
was chiefly conspicuous by it's
absence. So the Rapid Transit
folks followed the example of
the old-timer and told it's serv-
ants to pass out tickets free of
charge to those who would par
take of it's bounty, as the empty
benches must be filled up in
some way or another.
Even at that there are people
who prefer to ride in the cars
and busses of the Public Service
Co and pay out their good cash
for the privilege Quite fire.
QIently the proffer of free ride
coupons is refused, and in some
instances the tickets have been
thrown on the ground by those
into whose hands they were
showed by oyer-zealous agents

The new bus line still con-
tinues to traverse the route par
