"BULL-HEADED" EMPLOYERS


President Willard, of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad, states that the CO.
operative plan with organized en-
ployes on that railroad has resulted
in $4,000 efficiency suggestions by the
employees. Of these, $4,000, or "a per
cent, have been accepted by the man.
agement. Mr. Willards' figures should
interest anti-union employers who fill
the newspapers with talks on eff
cheney, but who refuse to take ad-
vantage of the experience of en-
ployes. The Baltimore & Ohio man.
agement recognizes organized labor
and finds that this is good business.
The anti-unionist adopts contrary
policy and ignores countless wastes
| in his plant that could be eliminated
by proper methods. Social and in
dustrial wastes is a social crime.
These wastes include labor turnover
the constant shifting of workers from
job to preventable sickness and
preventable accidents. Billions of dol
lars are annually lost to the nation
through stubbornness of employers
who are blind to changed conditions
and who insist on living in the days
of canal and OK carts.

Engineers Union First
Formed Back in 1896

The first union of steam engineers
was organized December z, 1896, at
st. Louis. At the American Fedora
ton Of Labor convention in 1896, there
were In attendance four engineers rep
resenting other trades. They proposed
a separate union for engineers and
called a meeting Of engineers in st.
Louis of the same year. The National
Steam Engineers union was estab-
lished at the meeting. In 1905s the
name Of the organization was changed
to International Union of Steam Engi-
neers, and in 1915, because of wideLed
jurisdiction, it was again changed to
International Union of Steam and Op-
Grating Engineers, its present name.

PAINTERS FIvE-DAY WEEK

PAINTERS FIVE-DAY WEEK
Out of the Brotherhood of Paint
ers' total membership of 123,029
there are 42,158 who have the five
day week.
This is a gain of more than 1900
members since last year.
"Our members" said General Presi-
dent Hedrick, "have awakened to the
fact that the five-day week is a pro-
lection to their health. 1t will be
but short time until at least so
per cent of our membership have the
five-day week.
Climatic conditions in the major
ity of localities, even in the busy sea-
son, has caused the postponement OF
much outside work. Opponents of
organized labor will doubtless con-
tend that it is because of different
wage scales, compared to pre-wa.
rates. But this is not true.
"The seasonal occupation of oui
trade at the time wages were ex
tremely low and hours long were such
that the average painter did not WORK
more than seven or eight months
every year.
"One of the largest gains thus fal
has been in Detroit, where a cam
paign has been on since last Feb

COMPANY UNION" WAIVERS

IOMSAN Y ION "A ERS
The company union" that en-
ployers have foisted on workers is
not operating as intended. Or, rather,
it is operating as intended, but work
ers are beginning to discover the
trick.
They find that the company Junior"
is admirable machinery to postpone
adjustment of grievances, and they
are becoming less impressed with
brave words and honeyed promises
of employers.
These workers now realize why
organized labor is opposed and why
the yellow dog" contract is favored
1t is too much to expect that the
anti-union system will suddenly col
lapse. It's passing will be silent and
slow, just as the noisy champions of
individual bargaining disappeared a
generation ago. These individuals
then took up the so-called "open"
shop, then the American plan.
Now they plead as strongly for the
company union" and the yellow
dog"
Agitation has forced them, step by
step, to retreat. They will continue
to yield ground, just in proportion to
organized labor's campaign for the
right to bargain collectively.

"Patronize the Union Label,
Shop Card and Working Button"
All trade unionists are requested to
adopt this slogan if they are truly
desirous of helping the union shop. If
this slogan is put into practice, the
non-union ships will be deprived of
huge profits. The union shops will
thrive and prosper. Victory will be
the reward of faithfulness, to our
slogan.

Coal magazines and financial pub

beginning to discuss the bituminous

Credulous Queen Got
EDen With Charldfdn

Elizabeth, though so serenely
confident of her charms that she
saw nothing incongruous in the
idea of husband young enough to
be her son, none the less shivered
at the prospect of old age, and
clutched at any project likely to-
avert it. A willy Dutchman, having
knowledge of the queens vanity
and love of money, lured her with
promises Of wonderful elixir
which not only would insure per-
petual youth, but also transmute
base metal into gold. Elizabeth,
lending a credulously hopeful ear
to these attractive suggestions, pro-
yided the magician with a labOra-
tory at Somerset house and babe
him proceed with all possible speed.
The alchemist set up his crucibles;
made prodigious amount of noise /;
improvised divers unpleasant
smells, but produced nothing of ma
terial value.
Elizabeth became impatient; I'M
willingly she saw the crows feet
forming round her eyes and the
glory departing from her red-gold
hair; urgently she wanted the
elixir.
The Dutchman made more noise
and worse smells, but no elixir.
Elizabeth lost her temper. The ma
gician received an ultimatum-the
elixir or the Tower-noise and
smells no longer awaited him, and
to the Tower forthwith he depart

be somewhat gloomy over the
string of losses suffered so far this
season, let them consider the Uni

the Main Streeters, the Gophers
have lost six straight. And if that
is not sufficient, let them ponder
over the Yale teams record. IN

games in a row. So until a Sank

Fable

Once upon a time there was a
basketball squad. Every man on
the squad was as good as the next
one and there were enough for
more than four teams. So the
coach played one team in each
quarter. But there was still an
other problem. Every man on
every team shot in a groove and
couldn't miss if given the chance.
They could dribble, pass, pivot and
sidestep like professionals. The
centers could outjump anyone, in
Guiding themselves, while the
guards covered like leeches and
followed up like trailers, or bills
on the first of the month. The re-
suit was that they couldn't lose a
game, so they disbanded and lived
happily ever after. ~
