RAILWAY HEAD
Lauds Workers and Trade
Unions

By International Labor News Service
Montreal.-Sir Henry Thornton,
president of the Canadian National
Railways, said recently:
MY personal experience may have
been unusual, but / can say frankly
that in all my dealings with working
people and trade union leaders, / have
never found the first to be deaf to
reasonable argument and fair treat
ment, and / have never had one of
the latter to let me down or pursue
a treacherous or dishonest course"
Thronton is railway executive of
considerable experience. American
born, he held important positions on
United States roads. In England he
was general manager Of the Great
Eastern railway. In France he was
major general in charge of British
rail transport during the great war.
And for four years he has been at
the head of Canada's experiment in
public operation Of the greatest rail
way mileage in single system on the
globe.

LONG FIGHT

New York City.-The cloak strike
is in its eighth week and the union
is just beginning to fight with the
seasons work waiting in the shops
deserted by their thousands of work
ers in obedience to the strike call.
The union is preparing for long
test, with it's million-dollar war chest
intact and workers from settled shops
and others who have found employ
ment sending in their assessments to
keep the pot boiling. In addition
sister unions have pledged another
million dollars to bridge any crisis.
Hundreds of arrests are of daily oc-
currence in the garment center. The
manufacturers are clamoring for more
arrests of pickets and the police are
complying by seizing all they can.

cial pressure is being used by the big
employers to keep the small contrac-
tors in line.
Nevertheless 125 employers have
settled and it is estimated that be-
fore very long one-half of the strik-
ers will be back in the shops. This
will help to sustain the strike against
the jobbers, whose refusal to aid in
reforming an over-developed and
under-nourished industry has been the
primary cause of the strike.

The value of high wages, that busi-
ness men and publicists generally ac
cept, is the most recent illustration
Of the organized workers power of
agitation. From its inception, the
American Federation of Labor has
insisted that high wages create mar
kets and increase living standards.
This theory has often been engulfed
in the demand for low wages and the
philosophy of economists who de-
Tended that doctrine. The present
public attitude, that is being indorsed
by European students of economic
conditions, is the best proof that
again labor's position is correct.
New times bring new ploblems, and
the present is no exception to an age
long rule. While opinions may diff
fer as to the Importance of present
day problems, | submit these three:
On the industrial field, the company
union" These employer controlled
institutions would assume the form,
but not the spirit, of the trade unions.
They are paternal in intent and deny
an independence and vigor that marks
the legitimate trade union.
On the political field, rowing dis
belief in the value of our law-making
branch of government. This senti-
ment is encouraged by those who
favor the Mussolini idea. They con-
slider the peoples representatives as
a barrier to their will, and at every
opportunity they attempt to bring
congress into popular contempt.
On the judicial field, the injunction
Judge. The practice of issuing orders,
unsupported by law, in times of in
dustrial disputes, is an evil that
strikes at our system of government,
just as do those secret adherents of
the dictator theory.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-09-03

With another page added to the
history of organized labor, the work
ers can look forward with enthusiasm
and hope.
Year by year our movement re-
cords that slow, substantial progress
that is based on an intelligence of
the workers and a public opinion that
is accepting our purposes for fuller
and larger life.
During the past year our movement
has made substantial gains. Wages
were increased, hours reduced, work
ing conditions improved and the gen.
eral social and economic advance that
marks the history of the American
Federation of Labor has been main
tained.
Neither has the past year been an
exception to previous years in the
securement of spiritual values that
are inseparable from mans develop
ment. These include higher intel
ligence, stronger determination, a
greater capacity and a consciousness
of social worth.
These equip wage workers Tor
various duties every believer in a
democracy must perform. Wage
workers are equipped to join with fel-
low citizens in other walks of life IN
a solution of new social problems.
Organized labor has changed the
tide of events for wage workers. The
trade unions have implanted dis
content in the breast of laborers and
have urged that the ideals of that
discomfort can only be realized
through organization and education.
The trade unions have been unceas-
ing in their plea that progress is
only possible through slow intel
lectual development that collectively
increases the workers intellectual ca
pacity and trains them for enlarged
civic and industrial duties and respon-
sibilities, while their living standards
are ever increased.
The trade unions accept the charge
that they are "step-at- time" move
ment. This is the law of social de-
velopment, as against the proposal
of ''short cuts" that invariably bring
bitter disillusion to those who accept
the alluring doctrine.
Our trade unions are not narrow.
Within the American Federation of
Labor are found men and women
wage workers of every race, creed,
nationality and political view. The
only test is: "Do you work for
wages ?"
Our unions are born of the necessi-
ties of wage workers. There is no
attempt to standardize any view
other than that those who work for
wages must unite to increase living
standards, decrease hours and i'm
prove working conditions.
From this economic base comes all
other progress that develops as the
wage workers develop.

near the holidays, and he hated to
write home for money. As last
resort he pawned his dress suit.
When the time came to leave for

He hurriedly scraped together enough
cash to get it back, packed it in his
bag and was off.

A Timely Word OF Praise

Browns Chapel. Clay county, Ark.
September 20, 1926.
We have in our neighborhood, a
somewhat aged couple who, we think,
deserve a word Of praise while living.
In fact we do not think that the world
should always wait until good people
have passed off the stage of action TO
bestow flowers and kind Words and
though the people in question give
promise of many happy and useful
years of service yet, we want them to
know NOW that they are highly appre-
ciated.
We have reference to Mr.. and Mrs.
w. J. Brown. They are pioneers in
this section, having built their home
in the 'woods" here some forty years
ago. They now have several hundred
acres of rich Black river bottom land
i'm high state of cultivation. This is
one couple of wealthy people who do
not seem to want any more property
Of any kind; they are, and, we are
told, always have been very charitable
toward persons in poverty or distress
and very liberal in support of schools,
churches, and other worthy causes.
Mrs. Brown has, perhaps, spent more
weary, sleepless nights by the bedside
of the sick and rendered them more
loving service than any one else in the
surrounding country, though we have
many other good people here who hav~
not been negligent in this respect. She
has also cheered and encouraged many
who were sad and downhearted, by
her ever kindly smile and loving words
of encouragement.
Long may they live and happy may
be their declining years.
Their Neighbors.

GOVERNMENT COTTON
REPORT is ATTACKED

Washington, d. c., Sept 25.-The
second Arkansas attack upon the Sep
TENDER cotton crop estimates Of the
Department Of Agriculture came today
in a telegram to Rep. William A.
Oldfeld from John Gibson of Hoxie.
Government report of cotton dis
astrOus," Gibson's telegram read. Can
1t be possible the government is CUES
sing and adding additional figures for
amount they missed the crop last year?
Would investigation be possible in
time to avert further reduction of
prices? The drop in cotton prices of
one cent pound or $50 a bale is at
tributed by many to what is charac-
terized the unwarrantedly large es-
innate of 15,S1O,OOO bales made by the
division of crop estimates for the crop
this year"
1t is recalled that last year the de-
partment underestimate the cotton
crop by nearly two million bales and
it is to this feature that Gibson refers
when he suggests that the department
is endeavoring to make up for the
amount missed last year.
Replying to Gibson's telegram Rep
resentative Oldfeld said that there
is nothing that can be done now to
repair the damage already done to
cotton farmers in the South He then
called attention to the fact that he
had already recognized the danger 20
cotton farmers of unreliable crop csti-
mates and that as long ago as Janu-
airy, 1925. had introduced a bill in the
House limiting the work of enumera-
tors engaged in collecting production
statistics to report on "only actual
weight of cotton ginned and actual
number of bales, and actual weight
and number of bales lost or destroyed.
THE bill also would have prohibited
the secretary of agriculture from an
nouncing, publishing or broadcasting
any estimate as to the number of
pounds or bales of cotton which may
be produced in the United States VI
in foreign country in any year.
81 was unable" Oldfeld continued,
'to secure favorable action on my bill.
Both the department and the Bureau
Of Census opposed any such change.
They are not only enthusiastic about
continuing this work but they are per-
haps even more arbitrary about their
own particularly detailed methods Of
carrying it out. OF course the de-
partment always has had strong sup
port in Congress along this line and
really don't know what further |
can say to you as measure of en-
couragement for the future except that
personally l am more than anxious to
prevent a recurrence"

The Cotton Situation

If the Department of Agriculture is
right about the outturn of this years
cotton crop something like 80 per cent
of those i'm the South who are directly
interested in cotton are wrong. But
whether the department is right or
wrong its last estimate Of production
has cost the South many millions.
Some cotton men estimate the loss at
a half billion dollars.
If we haven't the big crop the gov
eminent estimators think we have it
is not our fault We did our best to
produce it and in spite Of urgings and
warnings we planted the fence corners
and the big road to cotton and hOoted
at those who urged the planting Of
food and feed crops. The South is
cotton mad and has been for 100 years
or more. Perhaps it would be for
another hundred years but for the fact
that economic conditions will force a
change.
As usual I'm emergencies. many who
heretofore have been willing to drift
with the tide have been galvanized
into action and as usual some of the
action is worse than useless One mis-
sissippi cotton firm is sending tele-
grams to newspapers throughout the
South urging the calling of Southern
legislatures into extra session and the
passage of laws to control and reduce
acreage next year. The suggestion is
too impractical to be given a second
thought We know such laws would
not be enforceable.
Texas bankers propose that South
ern banks advance sufficient money to
retire three million bales of the pres.
ent crop ON condition that acreage re-
duction he pledged next year. This
proposal has been elaborated by the
American Cotton Association so that
the financing of next years crop would
be based ON the amount of acreage re-
duction. For growers who will pledge
themselves to reduce their 1927 croy
80 per cent the American Cotton AS.
ISOLATION would have the bankers take
from the market one half of the cotton
these growers have produced this yeaI
and carry the loans ON this cotton Until
May 1, 1927. Growers who agree tC
reduce next years crop by one-third
would have one-third of the cotton they
produced this year carried until May 1

to carry out his acreage reduction
pledge his loan would be called in May
and n renewal refused Those who
carry out their pledges will have Their
loans renewed until the fail Of 1921

reduction lies in the hands of South.
