PAINTERS STRIKE
IN FIFTH WEEK
Building Trades Work
ers Aid Strikers

CLEVELAND, April 5.-The strike
Of the painters and laborers, which
began on March /, is in full swing.
Only the small contractors have
signed UP, but the big employers are
determined not to give in. Almost
daily the open shoppers issue state
ments declaring that the wages they
are paying are far above the average
and that II wages are raised it will
mean an intolerable increase in the
cost Of building operations. They
even go 50 far as to. threaten that if
the workers persist in their demands,
it will mean a showdown in building
operations IN Cleveland.
Undaunded, the painters and labor
ers continue their strike. There is no
outlook at present of the big con.
tractors yielding. The season has been
poor one for the building trades
and the onen shoppers are taking ad.
vantage OF, IT. Day by day there ap.
pear advertisements for union paint
ers and building laborers." The open
shoppers intend to break the strike if
they can.
A situation of this kind should not
be allowed to continue in Cleveland.
The building trades are well organized
in this city and yet they have not
been able TO force the contractors
to terms.
The district executive committee Of
the Workers (Communist) Party, Dis
trict No. 6, has issued statement on
the strike, and states that "all the or
ganized workers employed on the Jobs
where the painters and laborers are
now striking must declare sympa-
thetic strike. Every man out! That
will bring the bosses Immediately to
terms"
The statement which is illustrated
and is being distributed in shop bull
letin form to the strikers and the
building trade workers that are still
at work, reads as follows:
Fellow Workers:
For more than four weeks the
painters and building lalborers in the
city of Cleveland have been on strike.
The strikers are firm in their determi-
nation to win. The painters have put
up fair demands: a five-day week and
$1.371z per- hour. It is needless to
state that the painters are engaged
in a trade that is very harmful to their
health. This is of little consequence
to the building contractors. AS long
as they caRSmake profit, the health
and well being of the workers does
not bother them.
THE ive-day week is a just demand
Of the painters. It would make their
work a 40-hour week. That should be
the demand Of all workers in industry
today. The painters are taking the
lead.
"The building laborers are demand
ing an increase from S715 cents to 81
an hour. The building contractors de-
clare that the wage is too high, and
is far above what is being paid in
other cities. The Cleveland contract
ors never tell the bricklayers of this
city that they are not getting the
wage paid bricklayers in New York.
The laborers cannot work more than
200 days year. That means a wage
of about at most $1,000 year. Gov
eminent statistics demonstrate that
the workers require at least $4,000
year to maintain themselves and
their families in decency. The labor
ers are determined that the American

ness which raises the gross business
of the corporation to $1,406, 100000.
For their work the employees received
$465,740,355 in wages. In 1924, the
246,753 workers turned out products
which sold for SS42, 969, 442 and receiv-
ed SAP, ASSET in wages. Thus the
receipts Of the corporation for the
workers products increased $S5,1S1,-
2S4 or 10 per cent, while the wages
raid for the actual work increased
only $14,2S1,77S, just over per cent.
The increase in corporation receipts
was six times the increase in wages.
The increase over 1924 in the com
psny's receipts per worker was nine
times the increase in the average
wage paid the individual worker for
Abe work. The company's gross salas
per worker increased from $3,412 in
1924 to S3,716 in 1925 or 1904. The
average wage increased from $1,794

Why Give Them More.

Another rotten thing about profit
sharing seems to be that all this extra
cash is really an insult to the en-
ploye. ut comes to the worker in the
nature of a gratuity," Wheeler rea-
sons, (which he secretly if not openly
reserts."
The rockbottom market price for his
labor is what a worker has coming to
him plus a margin for speeded pro-
duction, improved quality or definite
economy, Wheeler tells his fellow
open-shoppers. Such wage policy he
respectfully submits as "a safer, more
conservative and in every way a more
scientific method than the method Of
profit sharing"

SHARING SCHEME
Rock-Bottom Wages Are
Enough Says Boss
BY CARL HAESSLER,
Federated Press.

Profit sharing in industry gives the
worker distorted economic ideas and
destroys his enthusiasm for hard work,
states communication circulating in
Chicago employer circles. 1t is issued
by the National Association of Manu-
facturers, the nationwide open-shop
organization, and it is signed by C. B.
Wheeler, chairman of its employment
relations committee. Wheeler is vice.
president of Eaton, Crane & Pike Co.,

mittee is w. M. Wood of Decatur, Ill.

1.-THE initiation of a profit-sharing
plan can only spring from desire to
enlist a sustained loyalty on the part
of employees" writes Wheeler in open
ing his attack on the scheme, from
which great things were expected i'm
mediately after the war m the way of
keeping labor quiet and contented. He
defines profit sharing as "plan where
by employees, including wage earners,
regularly receive a predetermined
share of profits as a part of their COM
pensation."
It's an awful bad idea, one gathers
from his criticism, because it gives
the worker the tail end of a notion
that you can sometimes get some
thing for nothing, which is the secret
of capitalism. AS the open-shopper
neatly puts it: During a given period
the worker may be inspired to the
maximum effort of which he is capable
and find that his share of profits is
less than for another period during
which he is conscious of less deter
mined effort. A system which pro-
duces such a result distorts the
workers thinkings and promotes eco

Motor Makers Actually
ShOp for Cloth

When the average man selects the
cloth for a new suit, important as
the investment may be to him, he
looks over a number of samples, per-
functorily rubs a few pieces Of the
cloth between his thumb and forefin-
ger and, having made decision
based on color alone, places his con-
fidence in the tailor for the quality
and says This one will do, I'll take
it."
If the purchaser is woman maxi
ing a selection for new winter suit
the procedure is somewhat different.
She picks at one of the edges of the
cloth and carefully examines the
threads. She may touch match TO
some of the rawlings to make GER
tain in her own mind th2t the goods
contain nothing but wool as the sales
person insists. When a piece of ma
terial finally is chosen from among
the others she locks the whole thing
over with great care before arriving
at a final decision.
When a motor company shops for
cloth, experts. on weaving, dyeing,
and tailoring together with chemists
who know about all the little cells
and atoms that go to make up a hair
on woody sleeps back do the JOB
Much science is called into play and
many hours are spent daily after the
purchase is made to g'' rantee that
the quality of material is maintained
One of the most novel tests given
upholstering cloth at the plant of
the Packard Motor Car company de-
termines beyond any possibility of
doubt how long it will last in a car.

clear thinking at every turn of the
wheel. There are some drivers who
practice this and whose success with
the idea is so pronounced they can
sit at the wheel few moments be-
fore starting and get to their destina-
lions before the man who starts eff
with a rush.
Quick thinking will suggest the
idea of planning ones way through
traffic, or perhaps reveal a way to
avoid congestion altogether. Driv-
ers who think before they act have
far less difficulty finding parking
spaces. And to round out the idea
they endeavor at all times to think
faster than the speedometer so that
they are able to keep abreast of the
idea that no motor transportation is
ever any more efficient than its safe
ty.

it's smooth. Then the new brushes
will do the trick. Until then the
chances are that the old brushes will
deliver a higher output when used
with the worn armature.
They say it doesn't pay to use
new inner tube with an old shoe but
would prefer this to an old inner
tube with a new shoe. Let the old
shoe cause the new tube to blow and
the loss is the expense of vulcanizing
the tube. Let the new shoe be dam
aged by the old, blown" inner tube
and the loss may run into money.

Safety on the Side

Strong bumpers, front and rear, are
not the only protective features this
year. More and more there is a ten
dency toward side protection, a con-
sideration that is becoming more and
more important as traffic conditions
grow more complicated.
A low center of gravity Is one
manufacturers way of offering pro-
lection against hazards from the side.
Three cars are offered with side
bumpers" running boards that ARE
part of the steel frame and just as
rugged.
Eliminating the blind spot" by
narrowing the body posts is an i'm
portant contribution to this trend.
Now comes the double mirror with a
section that shows a n1otorist what Is
coming from the side as well as
what's behind

The Old Mechanic Saws:

New parts save old parts. New
parts are often damaged by old parts.
Yet new parts and old parts can be
made to get along together in a great
many cases.
These are a few of the things
have discovered through experience.
An old water hose connection can
cause overheating in the engine and
damage vital parts just because its
saggin' insides block passage of the
water. A new gear will not run well
with an old one. Yet a new set of
piston rings will prove a benefit in
the oldest of cylinders.
1t requires a little knack to figure
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-06-05

out what goes with what. There are
cases where all new parts do not go
as we'll together as new and old COM
bined. Take new cylinder block, fit
new pistons to it and the chances are
that the results may not be as salts
factory as If one had used new and
special piston rings with the old pis-
tons and cylinders. In fittin' all new
pistons to the new block there Us the
risk of failin' to obtain proper bal
ance This hazard doesn't come with
merely flttin' new rings.
1t doesn't pay to use new generator
brushes if the armature is so worn
the brushes can't be made to fit. The
armature must be turned down until

commonly accepted pace. 1t Is q
psychological condition. Tourists
are supposed to be in hurry. There
goes a man from -, says the
native, noting the strange license tag.
Hes got a long way to 60" The
assumption follows that the tourist Is
in big hurry.
When touring, IL is well to bear this
in mind as protection against biased
testimony in event of collision or
other accident. Public opinion is
against the tourist when he is in
trouble 1t pays to drive consider
ately and, If possible, give the Inn
preston that one is not in a hurry.
Made IN Mentality
Flying automobiles? Engines that
use water as fuel? Self-steering
gears?
How many motorists question the
reasonableness of such developments?
Do they seem too fanciful? Are they
beynd the realm of possibility?
Motor car fans of philosophical
turn Of mind say 1t is all quite pos
sible. Just a matter of time before
cars will go up in the air at the driv-
er's will and when the widest dreams
will come true.
They base their predictions on the
philosopher Herbert Spencer who
said: "The human mind can conceive
of nothing that is not possible of ac-
complishment."
If it wasn't possible, one could not
even think Of it. Long ago someone
thought of vehicle that would run
on it's own power. He was thinking
of the automobile. Even that was
possible Of accomplishment.
