LABOR SCARCITY
In British Columbia a Hoax,
Declare Union Workers

Vancouver, British Columbia.-The
Dominion governments decision that
it will accept agricultural workers and
domestics from England is protested
by organized workers, who see in this
move side-door attack on their liv-
ing standards.
"There is supposed to be demand
for agricultural workers and domes-
tics, but judging from reports there is
an oversupply of both kinds" the
Labor Statesman says.
Farmers had no difficulty in OBJ
tanning the necessary workers during
harvesting, which is the only time any
great demand is made. Idle men
could be found in almost every town
on the prairies. In Calgary the au-
thorities were called upon to feed or
provide work for the large army of
unemployed.
Domestic servants are also plenti-
full In this city at the present time,
and for a considerable time past, do
mosetics have been compelled to put
up with all kinds of abuses because
there are plenty of these workers
available and other jobs are scarce" "
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-12-17

must be made methodically in those
industries that are ready for it. The
building industry had been leader in
the shorter work day movement, the
speaker contended and by use Of mod
ern tools was likely to make still more
efficiency possible. With government
estimates showing industry but 49 per
cent efficient, there was still much
room for improvement, Mr.. Green
remarked.
Shorter Week Practical
"The workers are convinced the
shorter work week is practical, eco
nomically sound, and necessary to the
further social and spiritual progress
Of the people," he concluded. eve are
thoroughly conscious the economic re-
adjustment involved can not be made
until industry is ready for it. Any
premature attempt might defeat it's
purpose"
The best evidence that the reform
was possible, he said, was that it had
already been accepted by progressive
employers to much larger extent
than is generally known.

SPECIAL POLICE
INJURE CHILDREN

Passaic, N. J.-Declaring he has
seen police assault strikers children
in the vicinity of the Forstmann &
Huffman mill in Garfield, Councilman
Moro, of the Garfield city council, de-
manded the discharge of special police
who have been employed during the
10-months' textile strike.
The councilman made his plea when
the city council was considering the
request of taxpayers that these spe-
cials be relieved from duty.
The police are accused of strike
breaking activities by strikers and
business men. Several attempts have
been made to pry them off the city
payroll, but this is opposed by Mayor
Burke, who is an employe of Botany
Mills.
Garfield is one of the four cities af-
fected by the strike of 10000 textile
workers. The other cities are Passaic,
Lodi and Clifton. The mills that lead
opposition to the workers are Forst-
mann & Huffman and Botany.

mas Deen maintained by officials of the
United Mine Workers of America on
the subject of wages and wage scales
for the last seven years.
Trouble Due to Selling Methods
The Jacksonville agreement expires
March 81, and the operators indicate
that they are getting ready for a
struggle with the union next spring
to force reduction in wages. They
have claimed that the present scale is
too high, and they can not afford to
pay it, and many of them have had
their mines closed down for the best
part of two years as a result.
In the last three months, however,
developments in the bituminous in
dustry have not only vindicated the
position Of the Miners Union on
wages, but very clearly indicated that
the basic fault with the bituminous in
dustry is not in it's wage scales and
labor costs, but in the merchandising
methods that are practiced by the op-
orators.
The British coal strike which has
just ended continued long enough to
strip the bituminous operators in this
country of the specious arguments
about excessive wage scales. 1t has
placed the operators in position
where they must accept the economic
logic of the claims Of the Miners
Union, or confess that the ills of the
industry rest squarely on their own
unbusinesslike and unscientifc mer-
chandizing methods.
South America Places Big Orders
AS result of the British strike,
South American buyers have come
into the market in this country in
large numbers, and the export trade
has increased from 100000 tons last
year to 20,000,000 tons this year. At
the same time industries in this coun-
try have found themselves with low
stock piles, and in recent weeks have
been putting enormous quantities of
coal into storage.
In consequence of the large de-
mand during the fall, operators in the
Ohio, Pittsburgh and Fairmont re-
gions, who for three years have as
serted they could not pay the union
scale, and have gone over to a nom
union basis, have not only been pay
ing the Jacksonville scale, but bonus
of 5 per cent on top of it. Wages in
these fields for day labor have climbed
to $7.75 day. Even some of the nom
union fields in southern West Vir-
ginia have been paying wages that
approximate the Jacksonville scale.
Mines Can Pay More Than Scale
The last three months has demon
strated that the operators can not
only pay the Jacksonville scale when
the demand equals the output, but
that they can pay at least 5 per cent
more. The Pittsburgh Coal Company,
which changed to non-union basis on
the claim that it could not pay the
Jacksonville scale, has been paying
$775 day to it's day workers.
For number of years it has beer
recognized by officials Of the Miners
Union that the trouble with the bi.
luminous industry was that its pro.

Engineers Told Industry
Can Save Million Workers
From ''Back k-Breaking" Toll

"The annual bill for fixed charges
and operating expenses would prob
ably not be, on the most conservative
basis, over 33 per cent of the initial
investment, or 1851 100000, so our ma
tional industrial balance sheet would
show overhead reduced from S3,084,-

ital account increased by $1,084 4,000,-

Program Not Impossible
"The entire investment would prob
ably be paid for out of earnings, ie.,
net savings in labor expense, in from
four and one-half to five years as an
average.
This is not an impossible program

industrial situation and applying the
results obtained from the checking to

Electricity Biggest Factor
In Bringing Fiive-Day Week,
Green Tells Building Congress

BY International Labor News Service.
New York City-Leading men in
the construction industry listened at
tentively to scholarly address by
William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, in ad-
vocacy of the five-day week. The
address was broadcast over the radio.
Owing to the time, p. M, many
workers did not hear the remarks of
Mr.. Green, but thousands Of homes
and thousands of employers must
have tuned in to hear labor's argu-
ment.
The address of President Green
found a strong response with those
who look upon industry as the foun-
dation of national security for he
pointed out that the workers would
not stress demand that was not eco
nomically sound. The five-day week
was not only practicable, he said, but
necessary if the wheels of production
were not to be stilled by glut of
goods that no one had time to con-
sumo. His speech was given before
the New York Building Congress,
composed of all factors in the con-
struction industry
Electricity Changing Industry
"As steam revolutionized our in.
dustrial processes so we find electric
power is working greater transfer
nation" said President Green. GAS
the amount of electric power supplied
in industry is increased in like pro-
portion, efficiency and productivity is
increased Though silent and unseen,
electric power is the greatest agency
making for the establishment of the
shorter work week in all lines of in
dustry."
President Green said that forward
looking employers have sensed the
coming of this reform and are pre-
pared to accept it as a logical devel-
opment and that the class which
clings stubbornly to the old must yield
as they were forced to by the eight
hour movement.
Answers Reactionary Employers
He answered Judge Gary, w. w.
Edgerton, and other reactionary en-
ployers who have taken strong oppo-
sition to the new work week as they
did on every reform in industry. The
shorter work week can be brought
about without adding to the cost Of
manufactured articles, he said. Meet
ing their charge that foreign competi-
ton would not permit it, President
Green pointed out that foreign coun-
tries are already sending missions to
discover the secret of American eff
cheney and how to reduce costs and
still raise wages.
Stern necessity Of balancing produc-
tion with the ability to consume will
force the change. Furthermore, it
