bill, based on an average salary of
$1,000. The House measure, on
the other hand, provides merely for
increased annuities reaching an an
nuity of $1,000, based upon a sal
airy of $1,000 a year. The Senate
bill provides for employees con-
tributing four per cent, while the
House bill provides for three and a
half per cent.
1t appears that the Federal en-
ployees are virtually assured of a
law that will give the retired clerks
a more substantial annuity than
they receive under the present law.
1t remains to be seen just what that
will be after differences have been
ironed out.

The President has signed the
Watson-Parker Railroad Bill, which
provides for the settlement of rail
way disputes. The Law abolishes
the Railroad Labor Board, which
has been in existence since 1920
In its place is created a board of
mediation of five members to be ap-
pointed by the President. If media
ton by this Board is not effective,
provision is made for arbitration,
and should this fail, there is provi-
sion for the appointment of a spe-
cial emergency board by the Presi-
dent.
The new law has the Endorsement
of the members of the Association
of Railway Executives and the
twenty standard railway labor un-
ions, including the four brother
hoods.

SENSATIONAL FLOP

Suppose that coal miners, or steel
workers, or automobile workers, or
oil workers cmploved in several
states held cc2fer1- e and demanded
that their respective tate legislatures
pass drastic la to -aduce output;
to compel employees 70 shut down a
portion of The yaar?
Suppose ekes2 workers claimed
they produced TOO much, and. that this
resulted in glutted market, follow
ed by idleness and wage reduction? :?
Would these workers be Given seri-
Gus consideration, or wouli 5hey be
ridiculed?
This supposed action by workers is
identical with the position taken by
the recent Memphis cotton conference
of planters, barl.e s and business
men.
To check overproduction and fall
ing prices, it was proposed that cot
ton states legislatures be called upon

consent of the wage earners. Be-
cause it is not the product of their
consent or initiative, wage earners do
not have the trust and confidence to-

WALLOP THE ONE AT HOME
That the wet-and-dry mania has a
funny effect on the average voter is
shown by study of the election re-
turns from two cities.
Vic Donahey lives near Cuyahoga
county-so near, in fact, that he is
looked upon as being resident
of that county. He is regarded as

healthy wallops at the Anti-Saloon
League. Yet he lives close to Cuya-
hoga county, so the residents turned

FASCISM IN ACTION

Members of the government-con-
trolled Fascist trade unions in Italy
must subscribe to a $4,000, ,O00, 900 loan
that Mussolini is attempting to float.
Employers are ordered to advance
the money to workers, and the
amounts are deducted from their
wages.
This hold-up is fundamentally cor
rect-from the Fascist standpoint.
Democracy rests on the theory that
governments are instituted to permit
men to develop theu lives-to protect
their inalienable right to life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
Fascism rests on the theory that the
sole purpose of man is to exalt the
state.
Man has no natural right under
Fascism. He lives for the state.
Legislatures are puppets, free speech
is denied, the press is silenced, strikes
are prohibited, military tribunals su-
percede civil courts, the government
sets wages and workers are told how
many government bonds they must
buy.
Mussolini is spectacular but not
original. He merely megaphones the
cry of Louis of France: 81 am the
state"

CHINESE LOWER
WAGES

Vancouver, British Columbia
Mill owners are using Chinese strike
breakers to enforce wage reduction
of 5 cents an hour. The provincial
government set rate of 40 cents an
hour, but the mill owners object.
The Chinese previously agreed with
organized white employees that they
would cooperate in holding the 40
cent rate, When the reduction took
place and the white men suspended
work the Cinnamon stuck to their
jobs.

CONSENT"

~The outstanding difference between
the company union" and trade
unions may be summed up in one
word-consent," says William Green,
president of the American Federation
of Labor. President Green further
says:
Company unions are planned and
brought into being by management.
Trade unions are planned and foster
ed by the workers. Everything con-
nected with them is representative Of
the will of the workers.
'In the case of the company
union" the company endeavors to
tie employees to their jobs by various
types of paternal benefits.

spirit to the trade union. The COM

Myers Cooper lives in Hamilton

So the residents of that county, being
we'll acquainted with Cooper, turned

The only deduction to be made from
these two interesting studies is that
the voters of the cities, if they must
vote for a dry, prefer the one who
lives the greatest distance away from

insist upon throwing the harpoon into

CHILD LABOR
That there has been an increase in
the trend toward child labor in six
states and % cities as reported by
the Children's Bureau is disquieting.
Child labor has been decreasing dur
ing the last decade and only one in
every IL children under 16 years of
age is now employed. How these
children are employed should be es-
tablished in every state. Some work
and are not injured Many are ex-
plotted and ruined as future citizens
because of overwork and unhealthful
occupations.
The facts are that in 1920 there
were l,O6O,858 children 10 to 15 years
of age gainfully employed, and of this
number 378, ,063 were under IA. Sixty
one per cent were employed in agri-
culture, forestry and animal husban-
dry; 80 per cent in other work. Many
were not injured by their employment,
but thousands were kept out Of school
to work for hire, and far in excess
of their immature strength.
The aim of those who think in terms
of human welfare and not profits is
to set standards to protect these
working children. The legislatures
of more than 40 states meet in 1927.
Friends Of the children will be on
guard to protect and improve these
safeguards for these young Ameri-
cans. Further facts should be devel-
oped showing the causes of the re-

BIGGER AND BETTER (?) TRUST

Reports from overseas say that
German and British magnates are ne
gotiating to form great international
trusts to make possible more effective
competition with American trusts.
British and German industries were
in terrific hostility prior to 1914, but
those days are gone forever.
Competition, once local scrap be-
tween community stores and small
producers, may soon be a war be-
tween continents.
Unless some democratizing force
can be brought into action we seem
due for an Imperialism Of industry,
more powerful than any political i'm
perialism ever was.

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

Writing Current History Magazine
for December, John P. Frey, editor
of the Molders' Journal, president of
the Ohio Federation of Labor, and
student of affairs in general, describes
the evolution of the demand for the
fve-day week. He goes back to the
days of small industries and the II
and Ia hour work days.
Many persons like to picture the
beauties of "the good old days. "
They should read what Frey says of
them. He makes one striking point:
Men who worked IL, Ia and more
hours a day did not go much to pub
lie libraries; they did not read and
consequently their store of learning
was small.
Education has come with the time
and opportunity for education. The
good old days were not so good. And
the days to come will be better than
the days of the present. Trade
unions will do more than their share
as in the past, toward making future
days better than present days, just
as they did in making present days
better than the largely fanciful good
old days" of the past.

The lecture will be illustrated with

being done along this line in other

With the cooperation of the
churches here this work can be done
here most effectively. 1t is hoped
that arrangements may be perfected
for this wonderfully fine and progress
sive movement to be made effective
here with the opening of the schools
in September.
