Not Wronged By Alien Bar.
rier, Declares LabOrite

Honolulu.-Paul Scharrenberg, Sec
retary-treasurer of the California
Federation of Labor, used plain Ian
guage before the Institute of Pacific
Relations when he answered state
ments by Japanese representatives
that that country was treated un-
fairly" by the United States when the
present immigration law was passed.
The trade unionist threw aside dip
lomatic terms and defended his coun-
try in language that had but one
meaning.
He said the entry of Orientals in
to the United States lowered wages
and that the American attitude is not
due to feeling that Orientals are in
ferlor, but on the contrary they are
superior in such things as industry
and thrift, as exemplifed in their
cheapness of living.
He called attention to United States
laws which debar Orientals from be-
coming citizens and said the problem
OF assimilation would always be great.
He could see no advantage in talking
Of compromise in Oriental immigra
tion, such as a quota ratio, similar to
that for European peoples.

A DANGEROUS PROPHECY

Secretary of Labor Davis says the
era of big strikes has passed because
business men are learning that their
prosperity is a Siamese twin of the
workers prosperity.
True, some of them do seem to be
learning that lesson, but by no means
all have learned it. And wages are by
no means the only cause of strikes.
Humanity's fercest battles have
been for principle.
There will be more great strikes if
and when there is sufficiently sharp
division between workers and en-
ployers, be it over wages or something
else, with the chances in favor of
something else.
New York has just narrowly es-
capped a subway strike. The issue was
not wages; it was recognition of the
union.

LEFT MOVEMENT"
GROWING IN WORLD

Williamsport, Mass.-"Are we slip
ping into an age Of despots, benevo-
lent and otherwise?" asked DR.. Hen
ry R. Spencer of Ohio State Univer-
sity at the Institute of Politics here.
Reviewing political conditions
throughout the world, DR.. Spencer
said that in most cases dictatorship
is grimly accepted by these peoples.
He blamed public worship of national
unity as fetish.
"Hence order is secured by rigor-
Gus repression of dissenting thought,
liberalism becomes abhorrent, the
clash of classes, castles and churches is
avoided by artificial uniformity and
society is strictly regimented," he
said.
DR.. Spencer's remedy for present
tendencies was rule by persuasion, in
stead of rule by force and the "ac-
quiescence of the politically supine." "

Truly Remarkable Fish

Jungles of the Malay peninsula, says
the Pathfinder Magazine. She relates
her experience with the funny fish Of
Malay, Il saw one fish there" she
says, which came out Of hole In
the ground, hoped, skipped and
Jumped to tree, climbed up and
winked its eye at me. Then 1t
climbed down, walked to pool, stood
on the edge, dipped up some water
In one fin and took a shower bath.
1t was the famous funny fisl which
is rarely seen In water. 1t is known
to scientists as Periopthalmus schlos-

FARM BLOC STAND
is SOARING EAST

Washington.-In point to
a renewal of the fight for farm relief
when Congress convenes next Decem-
Der.
The agricultural group is deter
mined to pass another McNary-Hau-
gen bill similar to the one vetoed by
the President. This alarms eastern
Representatives and Senators, who
fear an attack will be made on the
tariff in retaliation.
The solidarity of the farm bloc and
the refusal of these law makers tc
yield to the wave of eastern abuse
has about convinced the East that
their tactics are wrong.
The claim is now made that "the
East is beginning to understand the
farmers position" This is another
way of saying: eve can't scare you
so let us compromise"

TETLOW LOSES ARM;
AUTO WAS WRECKED

Charleston, w. Va.-The left arm
of Percy Tetlow, president of District
No. II, United Mine Workers, was
amputated just below the shoulder at
Mountain State Hospital, where he
was removed following an automobile
accident near Madison, Boone County.
The accident was caused by defective
steering gear. His arme was broken
in three places and his hand was
mashed. He and several associates
were on their way to address a mass
meeting of miners at the time.
President Tetlow was formerly sta
tistician for the United Mine Work
ers. He has been in charge of Dis
trict No. II since the present organ
izing campaign was started.

MORE INVESTIGATION

Big corporations again are on the
grill The Federal Trade Commission
is Investigating. 1t wants to know
about the relations between Du Pont,
United States Steel and General Mo-
tors.
The E. |. Du Pont de Nemours
Company controls the chemical in
dustry.
United States Steel controls the
steel industry.
General motors is the biggest unit
in the motor industry.
Du Pont has bought 114,000 shares
of United States Steel common. Du
Pont also is said to hold a heavy in
terest in General Motors stock. Hence
the Federal inquiry.
To make it more interesting it is
reported that Morgan & Company are
the bankers for all these three giants,
now linked in a powerful liason.
Labor men will recall that these
corporations are leaders in fighting
unions.
What will investigation accomplish?
If it gives facts to the public that will
be valuable
But, based upon experience, it is
not likely that what cannot, after all,
be much more than political ges-
ture, will mean much in the way of
solution of what used to be called
the trust problem.
These corporations, like General
Electric, are production marvels, the
products of industrial, financial and
engineering evolution.
Twenty years ago men looked at
these giants-as Lands looked at
Standard Oil-and said, Smash
them" That didn't work to the ad-
vantage of anyone, except perhaps to
scare some corporations out of their
political wickedness.
1t is time there was a truly en-
lightened public policy toward these
great comhines-one based on the
American conception of democracy,
but without throttling either size or
efficiency for service.
Unless this new move to investigate
has back of it some purpose more in
telligent than club swinging it will
be public money wasted and public
hopes falsely aroused.

YELLOW DOG"
Is Doomed In Ohio; Labor
To Wage Statewide
Fight

Middletown, Ohio.-An aggressive
campaign against the yellow dog"
contract was agreed to by the annual
convention of the Ohio Federation of
Labor. Sentiment was unanimous
that this vicious system must be out
lawed in this state.
An anti-"yellow dog" bill was de-
feated by trick in the last General
Assembly.
The workers case is strengthened
immeasurably by States Attorney
General Turner's ruling that the state
can annul these one-sided contracts
that are based on the necessities of
workers seeking employment, and who
are forced to agree not to join a trade
union while SO employed.
"As | read it," said the attorney
general, "the bill is designed to pre-
serve in this state the right of col
lective bargaining. In my opinion this
object is within the police power of the
state and, therefore, is proper SUBJ
ject of legislative action.
while the right of contract is a
part of the Individual freedom pro-
tected by the Fourteenth Amendment
to the Federal Constitution, nothing
is better settled by the repeated de-
cisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States than that the right of
contract is not absolute and unyield-
ing, but is subject to limits and re-
straints in the interests of public
health, safety and welfare, and such
limitation may be declared in the leg
islation of the state"

FRUITS OF UNIONISM

In pursuit of ideals, trade unionism
has justified its existence by good
works and high purposes. Slowly and
gradually it has progressed toward the
fulfllment of its mission. 1t has ele-
waited the standard of living OF the
American workman and conferred up
on him higher wages and more leisure.
1t has increased efficiency, diminished
accidents, averted disease, kept the
children in school and improved the
relations between employer and en-
ployed. 1t has conferred benefits, made
sacrifices, and, unfortunately, COM
mitted errors. We believe it not un-
reasonable to ask that we be judged
not by our faults, but rather by our
virtues.
To find justification for our exist

do not rely upon the claims we our
selves make. Abraham Lincoln, in a
speech delivered at Hartford, Conn.,,
in 1860, while addressing the shoe
workers, said: "Thank God, we have
system of labor where there can be
strike. Whatever the pressure, there
is a point where the workmen may
stop"
Wendell Phillips is quoted as hav-
ing said: II rejoice at every effort
workmen make to organize. / hail the
labor movement; it is my only hope
for democracy. Organize and stanc
together. Let the nation hear unit
ed demand from the laboring voice.
William E. Gladstone said: "Trade
unions are the bulwarks of moderr
| democracies.

PICTURE STARS PAY
WILL NOT BE REDUCED

In return, the producers company
union" agrees that it's members shall
be less temperamental. They pledge
their fullest cooperation with the

high-sounding title Academy Of Mo

1t is hinted that the militant atti-
tude of other actors, who are joining
the Actors Equity Association, affil-
lated to the A. F. of L., was factor
in inducing the producers to reverse
their wage-cut position.

interest in adult education and an in
crease in out-of-doors recreation.
This will help to answer the ques-
tion as to what the workers will do
when they get it.
That all of them spend their leisure
to the best advantage no one will con-
tend. Furthermore, it is not to be ex-
pected, at least not at first. But the
above findings show that they are not
all wasting their time either, but large
numbers of them are spending it to
very excellent advantage.
The question is an important one
because labor time is going to be con-
tinually shortened.

THOSE SOOTHING TERMS

A speaker at the Institute of Pol
itics, an open forum in Williamstown,
Mass, said the Latin-American Re-
publics are becoming zone of "re-
gional understandings" for the United
States, just as China and other Far
East countries are considered spheres
of influence" by European powers.
Regional understandings" is oily,
bland and seductive. 1t is the latest
soothing term to drug the public, but
six-inch shell to enforce these "un-
derstandings" has the same purpose
and the same results in Latin-Amer-
lea as in the Far East.
The use of rose water and fair
spoken words is not confined to dip
lomacy and imperialism. They are ef-
fective in concealing opposition to
trade unionism.\ The best known dope
is: Employees representation, company
union" American plan and the "open
shop.
All are based on the psychologist
fact that many people can be lured by
catch phrases.
The ability to reason is the most
effective weapon against druggine
the people.

FRIDAY, AUGUST u, 1927
BATTLE FOR HIGHER WAGES

One of the chief tasks of organized
labor has always been to secure high
er wages for workers. The struggle
for higher wages now enters its third
phase.
In the earliest period organized la
Dor struggled for higher money wages
Instead of SO per week, it tried to
secure S11 per week, and the next
year perhaps S12.
A second period in the wage policy
began as organized labor realized that
the amount of money is no adequate
measure for deciding whether a wage
is high or low, and that it is necessary
to relate money wages to prices. Then
organized labor struggled for higher
real wages that is, wages that would
buy more.
Very obvious changes in prices in
duced organized labor to realize the
necessity for calculating in real wages.
Very obvious changes in productive
ty of labor today induce organized
labor again to widen its wage policy.
Higher money wages from an eco
nomic point of view do not improve
the situation of the worker if prices
increase more than money wages.
Higher real wages from social
point of view do not improve the sit
uation of the worker if productivity
= increases more than real wages.
For higher productivity without
corresponding increase of real wages
means that the additional product has
to be bought by others than the wage
Garner. This means that the social po-
sition of the wage Garner in relation
to other consumers becomes worse
because his standard of living will not
advance proportionately with those OF
other groups.
Deteriorating social position, that
is, declining purchasing power of the
mass of the wage earners in rela.
tion to the national product, brings
about industrial instability which viii
develop into industrial crisis.
The American Federation of Labor
is the first organization of labor il
the world to realize the importance
of the factor productivity in economic
society. 1t no longer strives merely
for higher money wages; it strives
for higher social wages, for wages
which increase as measured by prices
and productivity.
This modern wage policy lifts the
movement to an absolutely new level
For higher real wages meant only
betterment of the economic position
while higher social wages mean
betterment of the economic and socia
position of the worker. The modern
wage policy guarantees an active but
stable development of industrial so.

can Federationist.
