PRINTERS INK
Brands Old QutatiOn a Mys'
teriOuS Fake

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.-Printers' Ink,
recognized authority in the advertis-
ing field, has asked the help of Inter
national Labor News Service and it's
affiliated labor publications in stop
ping the practice of crediting Print
ers' Ink with quotation which that
magazine never published.
For years labor papers have been
publishing a quotation about as fol-
lows:
"a labor paper is far better ad>
vertising medium than an ordinary
newspaper, in comparison with cir
culation. A labor paper, for example,
having 5000 subscribers, is of more
value to the business man who adver-
tises in it than an ordinary paper with
$4,000 subscribers"
In that or some similar form the
quotation has been credited to Print
ers' Ink, which now says:
when this statement was first
called to our attention by one of our
subscribers we made a thorough
search of our files back to the very
first issue, in an effort to find either
the item itself or some statement upon
which it might pardonably be based.
Our search revealed nothing that was
even remotely suggestive of any such
conclusions and we can state our posi-
tive belief that Printers Ink never
made an investigation of this kind
and never expressed any such opinion.
"As far as we can ascertain the
first time the quotation ever appeared
in our columns was in the issue of
February 15, 1917, when we quoted it
for the specific purpose of making
public denial to its authenticity"
international Labor News Service
is glad to cooperate with Printers
Ink in informing the labor press that
the quotation is not genuine and
should not be used. Printers Ink has
shown its fairness and its broad un-
derstanding of labor's rights and its
fundamental principles in so many
ways that this return cooperation
should be given freely.
No one has been able to discover
how the quotation achieved circula-
ton. 1t remains mystery. That it
is not genuine should be sufficient to
end it's career.

MORE OPERATORS
Agree to Pay Miners Jack
sOnville Scale

By International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind.-The situation il
the organized bituminous coal fields
of the United States, where a sus.
pension of operation has been in effect
since April /, remains unchanged gen
orally, but with many operations in
various districts agreeing to resume
work on the basis of the Jacksonville
agreement, pending final settlement
of the wage scale.
In Indiana, where a recent Joint con-
ference of operators and miners came
to nought six shaft mines have sign
ed contracts to operate under the
Jacksonville scale. Most of these
mine owners are members of the In
diana Bituminous Coal Operators
Association, which has thus far re-
fused to discuss any agreement save
on basis of reduction in wages
The strip pit operators association
which produces about 20 per cent of
the states total tonnage, reached an
agreement with the union several
weeks ago and most of their mines
are now in full operation.
Settlements by districts is progress
ing, according to international off
cials of the United Mine Workers
and already substantial tonnage has
been signed with more to follow as
the normal demand for coal is reach
ed.

Chicago.-Judges who have been
the willing tools of big business in
fights waged against organized labor,
and members of the Chicago bar who
hope for preferment or profit as a
reward for future services in such
conflicts, are greatly agitated as the
result of fear loudly expressed that
the present session Of the Illinois
general assembly may provide for the
nomination Of judges by primary cleo
tions.
This fear was voiced by Judge Denis
E. Sullivan, notorious injunction
judge, at meeting of superior
judges over which he presided the
other day. The new primary election
bill which Governor Len Small has
caused to be introduced in the legis-
lature was being discussed by the
judges. Judge Sullivan declared that
he was against a primary for judges
because it would involve them in poll

company wanted that done. The day
before the date set, Judge Baltzell is
sued court order restraining Arm
strong and Parker from interfering
with employees of the company in
any way and specifically from calling

move.
The company now began discharg-

clearing out all union members.
Sixty-four were dismissed for alleged
violation of the company's yellow
dog contract The men steadfastly
denied signing the contract or having
knowledge Of its contents. They adj

Agents of the department Of labor
attempted to adjust the differences,
but Robert l. Todd, president Of the
company, fatty refused to meet the
men. Mayor Duvau also declined to

that the communist party completely
dominates the political, economic and
industrial situation in Russia. AS a
result complete political and social re-
action has been established in Russia.
Political liberty is unknown ana in
dustrial freedom is known in name
only.
"The trade unions in Russia are
dominated and controlled completely
by the government, and the govern
ment is the communist party. Strikes
are severely forbidden by law. This
is the sort of freedom communists
wish to impose upon the working peo-
pie of our own country. We would
not and certainly could not recognize
a force that is known as the crystal
ization of autocratic power and die
tatorship such as represented by COM
munist organization and the soviet
government of Russia.
GAS a result of the information sub
mitted by Mr.. Kerensky, the executive
council is strengthened in its deter
mination to oppose recognition of the
soviet government by the United
States until the Russian Red Inter-
rationale disavows it's purpose to pro-
mote world revolution and destroy the
American Federation of Labor, and,
until free democratic government,
recognizing its obligations to it's own
people and it's proper relationship to
the other nations of the world, is es-
tablished in Russia"

A. F. Of L. Executive Council
Again Declares Opposition
To Recognition Of Red Russia

By international Labor News Service
indianapolis, Ind. - Condemning
Russia's policy toward labor unions
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor, in session here
reiterated its opposition to the recog-
milton of the soviet government by
the United States.
The resolution offered and adopted
by the council followed the presenta-
ton of Conditions of Russia" by
Alexander Kerensky, Russian revolu-
tion leader in 1917. Kerensky ap-
peared before the council at one of
the earlier sessions and through an
interpreter gave the council first
hand accounts of industrial conditions
in that country.
The resolution adopted by the coun-
ell charged that trade unions in Rus
sio are dominted by the government
and that strikes are forbidden, and
therefore trade unions can be of no
service to the working man. The reso-
luton recommended that the United
States do not recognize Russia until
free democratic government is es-
tablished"
In statement made to the coun-
Gil, President Green said:
"The information and facts sub
mitted by Mr.. Kerensky confirmed the
opinion held by members of the coun-
ell. The representatives of the fed

system who shall or shall not be
judges.
Sullivan, democrat, owes much,
if not more, to the republican bosses
as he does to George E. Brennan, the
democratic boss. An outstanding re-
publican who backed Sullivan to the
limit when organized labor made
fight on Sullivan to retire him is
Charles G. Dawes, vice president of
the United States.
This was at the time when the Min
ute Men of the Constitution, the comic
opera army organized and commanded
by Dawes, was riding high, wide and
handsome, Dawes threw this outfit
into the fray on the side of Sullivan
and made vitriolic attacks, in his
well-remembered "Hell-an'- Maria"
style, against the leaders of organiz-
ed labor because they had the sand to
tell the truth concerning Sullivan,
friend of the union busters"
Hits Sulliyan's Statement
Judge Frank Johnston, Jr., who was
kept off the coalition judicial ticket to
be voted on June 6, because, as he al
leges, he was not useful to his party
bosses, made the following comment
on the declaration of Judge Sullivan;
This sounds like the most obvious
satire. Involve the judges in politics!
Why, they are enmeshed hand and
foot in politics"

BY international Labor News Service
| Indianapolis, Ind - Struggles OF
street railway employees in Indian
apolis against an implacable combi
nation of "open shop" influences fo1
relief from starvation wages and the
seven-day week have raised question
of vital concern to the entire labor
movement.
An answer to this question will be
sought of the United States supreme
court in an appeal from the Baltzell
injunction decision aimed against en-
| ployes of the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company.
Determination to carry this case to
| the highest court was reached by w
d. Mahon, president, and other off
cials of the Amalgamated Association
of Street and Electric Railway EN-
Iployes after urgent messages, advis-
ing that course, had been received
from William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
other trade union leaders. Alex j
| Groesbeck, ex-governor of Michigan,
and Frank j. Baker, Indianapolis at
| torney, will present the appeal.
Right to Strike at Stake
The main point to be settled in this
legal contest is whether the right to
strike exists under the laws of the
land. Specifically, the anti-injunction
clause of the Clayton act will be up
for Interpretation.
This clause says:
"In any case between employer and
employe, no restraining order or in
! junction shall prohibit any person or
persons terminating any relation of
employment or persuading others by
peaceful means to do So"
When this clause was written it was
believed to cover the ground thor
oughly and the intent of it's sponsors
was to outlaw the sort of injunction
that is based on the assumption that
labor is property.
Judge EnjOins Organizers
Judge Baltzell in federal district
court in Indianapolis decided, however,
that the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company was entitled to a prelimi-
nary injunction to restrain two union
organizers-who were not employees
of the company-from peaceably per-
suading company employees to leave
their employment and, further, that
this injunction directed primarily at
these men could be extended to apply
to "all persons having knowledge of
this ORDER" which would include en-
ployes of the company.
This Interpretation of the law con-
tains serious threat against the
rlgnt OF workers anywhere to strike.
If permitted to stand it will enable
any employer to obtain an injunction
restraining his employees from strik-
ing if he names one or more outsiders
in his application to the court. This
course will be open to employers even
in cases where no international union
organizers are concerned. Hired
agents of the company could be used
for the purpose if necessary and union
men could then be enjoined without
even the right Of hearing.
The seriousness Of the plight in
which organized labor is placed by
this decision must be readily apparent

promise with the men.
Strike Again Voted
The local union voted again to
strike, setting the date as one week
from June "a. Judge Baltzell then
issued a preliminary injunction, nam
ing Armstrong and Parker and "all
persons having knowledge of this
order"
This court is not going to permit
a strike to be called" he declared.

In the grip of poverty and working
10 hours day seven days week fol
an average wage of $22, frequently
driven to accept charity, the 1,10C
employees of the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company was pitted against
the employing corporation, the Asso-
ciated Employers of Indianapolis, an
unfriendly city administration and a
police department, under strict orders
to crush not only the strike but any
attempt at organization.
The contest was of more than mere
ly local significance. 1t represents a
high spot in the great American plan
or "open shop" drive, launched at the
close of the World War
| Organized labor has fought cou-
rageously and usually successfully to
repell these ungenerous and anti
social assaults, but in some sections of
the country the "open shopper" has
gained the upper hand. That has hap
pened in Indianapolis. Unorganized
labor here has been reduced to a
shamefully low wage level, and war
to the knife has been declared against
all efforts to organize workers in any
| field.
Wage Scale Shamefully Low
The wage scale on the street cars
is 81 to az cents an hour. Less than
10 men receive the maximum scale
today as it is based on five years
service and most employees lost their
service standing in the walkout last
July. Working seven days week,
one can earn at most $3.50, but few
employees receive that. Company reg
ulations require each man to spend at
least one hour day on duty without
pay.
| Five hundred of the men who walk
ed out last July are still being pun
ished by blacklisting and denied the
right to earn even the pitifully made
quate wage of car man.
The trouble in Indianapolis began
year ago, when number of car
men requested the Amalgamated AS
sociation of Street and Electric Rail
way Employees for assistance in form
ing a local union Robert B. Arm
strong and John NJ. Parker, both vice
presidents of the Amalgamated, were
sent here. The open shop" combi-
nation wheeled into action at once.
From the moment of their arrival
Armstrong and Parker were dogged
by squads of police on foot ana in
automobiles.
Organizers Prosecuted
Five street car employees were em-
ployed as organizers-two of whom
later admitted in court that they were
company secret agents under instruc-
tions to seek jobs with the union.
Armstrong and Parker and their
agents were repeatedly arrested-53
times in all-and never convicted of
any offense. The favorite charge was
vagrancy, which means begging in the
streets. Business and industrial bod
les of the city lent moral and political
support to the company in its efforts
to block unionization and the larger
newspapers commented approvingly.
The invasion Of their rights as law
abiding American citizens drove Arm
strong and Parker to appeal to the
federal court for a restraining order
against the police. Judge Baltzell dis
missed the case with reprimand to
