Australian Labor in
Fight for "a Hours

MELBOURNE (By Mail).- In jan
uary Of this year the labor govern
ment OF N. S. w. enacted a law to
make A hours the maximum working
week in every industry. Some unions
are working under a federal ward.
The federal awards specify a 4S-hour
week. The employers took the mat
ter to the high court, and the judges
decided that the workers under the
federal awards must work As hours a
week. The Metal Trades Employers
Association also said So. The workers
said they would not-so the men were
locked out.
A struggle ensued, during which the
employers in the Motor Body Build.
ing Trades locked their men out.
At the end OF FIVE weeks an agree
ment was reached with the Metal
Trades Employers Association that
the men work "A hours for A hours
pay. This was all that was demanded
in the first place-the establishment
Of the principle OF the 44-hour week.
The employers in the motor indus
try also agreed to this, but failed TO
keep the agreement, consequently the
fight is still on in that industry.

effects of the miners strike. Gross
receipts of the railways show a de-
crease Of 1e,61eooo pounds sterling
from last year, while the dividends
are 100000 less than last year for
the six months period.
Bankers clearings are now 49,
1900 pounds below the total for the
first seven months of 1926, while the
currnecy note circulation, at $685.
094 pounds, is S,491, 096 below last
year. These figures show the decline
in business and cut in spending
power.
Heavy Industry Badly of.
Practically no iron and steel is
being produced. The cotton industry
is working only 70 per cent, with I'M
employment in the textile industry
worse than at any time since the
American civil war.
The demand for shipping to bring
coal from America is increasing. The
British railways are seeking coal from
that source. The unemployed army
numbers close to 100000, with 4O7,-

government will not pay a penny Of

Oh bCOCh promoter,
Coyle's letter is as follows:
THE WORKMAN,
Is North Broadway
Yonkers, New York
Gentlemen: have read The Work
man for July 23rd. and notice on the
FIRST page an article which you doubt
less printed in entire good faith but
which contains so many false state
ments that am Immediately writing
you to ask you, as a matter Of simple
honesty and fairness, to print a correc-
ton in your next issue, Of equal prom.
inence with the article in question.
1t is absolutely untrue as stated,
that issued a statement lust prior
to the issuance of the Council state
ment," in which I described the mis-
sion to Russia as none Of the A. F. OF
LIS business" AS a matter OF fact
l issued no statement whatever prior
to the statement of the executive
councils and have never stated that
the proposed trip was none of the
A. F. Of LIS business" On the direct
contrary have said that the execu
i've council has a perfectly proper right
to announce policy to be followed
officially by the A. F. of L., even tho
1t has no right to speak for the Rail
road Brotherhoods or other unions not
affiliated with the federation.
You state in your headlines that ]
am posing as a spokesman for labor
/ must ask you to apologize for your
statement In view of the fact that
the presidents Of two international
unions connected with the A. F. Of l..
and the executive officers OF three

me to serve as secretary to the pro
posed delegation to Europe, and to is

totaled $l3O,87O,312. The gain over
last year amounts to AZ per cent.
Highest Ever In Steel.
U. s. Steel made a six months profit
Of $92,S75, 800. Never in its history,
except in the years of tremendous war
profteering, has it made a profit as
large as this in the first half of the
year. In the first half of 1925 the steel
trust profit was S80,507,213. This
years profit means a return OF $500 a
share on common stock which origin
ally represented no real investment
in the business. If maintained thru
out the year stockholders will get 16
per cent on the par value of their in
vestment.
General Motors Record High.
General Motors six months profits
beat all previous records. They
amount to $9S.2s5.s74, exceeding
those Of U. S. Steel This is a gain
of IS per cent over the profits of the
first half of 1925 which amounted to
$50, 363,099. These half-year profits
mean return Of s17,3S on each share
OF the common stock compared with
1902 a share for the same period of
1925. As each common share repre-
sents less than $40 original investment
the half year return amounts to more
than 43 per cent.
More Morgan Profits.
American Telephone & Telegraph
Co. is another concern which is pour
ing huge profits into the pockets Of
big investors closely associated with
j. P. Morgan q Co. It will be remem-
bered that Morgan's sidekick, George
F. Baker, chairman of the First Ma
tional Bank OF New York, is the larg-
est stakeholder in American r. & T.
The company's profit for the fret six
months amounted to S66,756,Se9 equal
TO $6.05 on each 500 share of common
stock. This compares with 500, 063 .92o
or $3.50 share in Tie first half or
1928.
Duponts Up 100 Per Cent.
Du Points. the chemical and powder
trust, reports a six months profit Of
$21,75IS1S, an increase of more than
100 per cent over the $10,97i,732
profits of the first half of 1925. The
current half year means a return Of
S14.51 on each 800 share to the com.
mon stockholders. Taking into ac-
count stock dividends this means a
return TO s32.sO on each 800 origin.
ally invested.
Youngstown Sheet G Tube Co. made
S15,s76,2O9 in the frst half Of 1926.
This means a return Of s7.5s on each
