EVER HIGHER WAGES
Stressed On By Convention
Pay Held as Key to
Well Being

BY International Labor News Service.
Los Angeles, Cal.-This convention
of the American Federation of Labor
is early developing certain main lines
of driving force which clearly mark
the American labor movement out
among world labor movements as a
economic movement.
Among them there rises to the top
a steady cumulative emphasis on high
and growing wages as the only means
of insuring well being and a consum-
ing power sufficient to take up and
use the output of this machine age.
Getting under way as a major sub
ject two years ago it became more
important last year and is more SO
this year.
Injunction to the Fore
Then comes the fight on the injunc-
ton which in the executive councils
report and resolutions, ranks as a
main issue.
Following in the list there is the
call, contained in supplemental re-
port of the executive council for a
meeting of national and international
union representatives in Pittsburgh
on November Ia to back the coal
miners in their great struggle and to
help them win.
The fight on the yellow dog contract
stands out as another issue here, and
the fve-day week program has been
brought to the front by the declara-
tions of President Green as well as
by the evident inclination of the dele
gates.
Convention Ranks With Best
These big direction markers stand
out in the council report and in reso-
lutions in a convention that registers
more strength than it's predecessor
seems to have more vigor and force
and in every way ranks with the best
ever held. 1t is plowing through its
work, meanwhile going through al
entertainment program that is both
marvellous in character and amazing
in size.

Miners Stick to Guns

President Fishwick, of District No.
II, in addressing the 750 delegates
assembled at the convention of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor at
East st. Louis, September Is, stated
the terms on which his organization
would agree to an honorable settle
ment.
The terms as outlined by President
Fishwick at that time were the pre-
else basis upon which a settlement
was reached at Chicago Is days later.
The coal miners had not yielded an
inch.
Operations, under the proposal,
were resumed October 3 under the
Jacksonville agreement of 1924, call
ing for wage scale of from $5 to
$3.50 day 1t was the expiration of
that agreement that caused the diff
ferences which brought on the lockout
almost seven months ago.
Under the plan of settlement agreed
on, the Jacksonville wage scale-so-
called because it was made in Jack
sonville, Fla.-will be continued until
a commission of four completes a
thorough study of the Illinois mine
situation. The report of that COM
mission is to be submitted to the joint
wage scale committee of the oper-
ators and miners next February Z.
Arbitration Provided For
The settlement provides for arbi-
tration in the event that a board of
two coal operators and two miners
fails to agree on the 1928 scale.
The members of this commission
are Rice Miller, president, and H. C.
Perry, vice president, of the Coal
Operators Association; Harry Fish
wick, president, and State Senator
William Sneed of Herrin, vice presi-
dent of District No. II, United Mine

By CHESTER M. WRIGHT

Los Angeles, Cal.-Surrounded on
every hand by California hospitality,
but with stern eye to business new
ertheless, the American Federation of
Labor convention, now under way
here, faces staggering issues.
Among these are:
The injunction, a more serious issue
than ever;
Company unions, favorite weapon
of the big non-union industries;
The yellow dog contract, bond of
the slave to the union-hating en-
ployer;
Trade union insurance, a big factor
with the launching of the Union La
Dor Life Insurance Company under
the presidency of Matthew Woll;
The fascist and the soviets, twin
autocracies;
international relations, grown more
ramifying than ever; and
National and state legislation, in
cluding such important problems as
Boulder Canyon dam.
Recent developments regarding the
attitude of the department of labor
toward the fascist make that an out
standing matter. Exclusion of Count
Thaon di Revel, commander of the
fascist forces in the United States,
president of the Fascist League of
North America, now in Italy, will be
asked in resolution and supported
not only on the ground of the fascist
oath, but on the ground that di Revel
is commander Of foreign armed
force on American soil.
Many International Problems
International relations loom larger
than ever. On the list of matters un-
der this head there is this large col
lection: International Federation of
Trade Unions, reporting no progress
in bringing about American affilia-
ton; Mexican affairs, reporting an
immigration and emigration agree
ment with Mexican labor; the Pan
American Federation of Labor, re-
porting on the last convention, held
in Washington; Cuba, reporting on
atrocities and injustices of the Cuban
government toward wage earners and
union leaders; the Pan-American Con-
gress, in which labor participated and
in which labor has secured striking
recognition for each future agenda; !;
the Geneva economic conference,
where John P. Frey was expert labor
advisor by presidential appointment;
and the Australian industrial commits
sion to the United States.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1927-10-14

in postponing, and SO averting strikes
was undertaken because in the United
States the wage earner's right to
strike in transportation systems, coal
mines, public utilities or in any indus
try affecting large communities, is be-
ing challenged by considerable sec
tion of the community and in the eff
fort to prevent such strikes legisla-
lures are repeatedly proposing and
sometimes enacting laws patterned
after the Canadian industrial disputes
act. These proposals are often based
upon a mistaken idea of the actual
scope and operation of this law"
Strikes Forbidden Pending Inquiry
The Canadian act prohibits declara-
tion of a strike or lockout in mines,
transportation systems or other pub
lie utility industries until a report on
the dispute has been made by board
of conciliation and investigation and
board is appointed for each dispute
and in each board a representative of
the public presides, the other members
being representatives Of the employ
ers and employees.
The report shows that in 536 dis
putes handled under the Canadian act
400 strikes (91 per cent? were ended
or averted; during the same eighteen
years, however, there were 425 strikes
IN which the act was completely ig-
nored, and 40 per cent of the working
days lost through all strikes were lost
through disputes. in coal mines.
On Canadian railroads where condi-
tions are fairly we'll stabilized, the
report says, the industrial disputes
act has worked well; in coal mines
where instability and chronic irregu-
larity of employment prevail, it has
failed.
Failure Follows Coerciye Policy
4
United States with that in Canada,
the report says, Just as the policy
of conciliation pursued by the Cana
dian government has won the cooper
alton of labor in the administration of
the industrial disputes act, so the
policy of coercion sometimes pursued
by government bodies in the United
States has intensified the opposition
of labor to similar laws. The Cana
dian experience indicates that govern
mental bodies can obtain the best re-
suits in industrial disputes, not by
threatening arrest, Imprisonment or
fines, but by intervening in sympa-
thetic and conciliatory spirit to find
those terms upon which agreement
may be reached"
Mr.. Selekman, the Russell Sage
Foundations investigator, points out
that while the Canadian industrial
disputes act was drafted on the prin-
ciple of compulsion, it has been ad-
ministered largely as measure tc
secure voluntary consultation and
agreement. Thus while 472 punish
able violations of the law occurred in
eighteen years, only sixteen Of these
were brought before the courts anc
none of these at the instigation o1
the government.
Boards Act as Peacemakers
, Mr.. Selekman found that the Ca.
madam boards of Cancellation and in

Millions of Families Depend
on Dr.. CaldwelEs Prescription

When DR.. Caldwell started 10
practice medicine. back in 1875, the
needs for q laxative were not as
great ns they are today. People
lived normal, quiet lives, ate plain.
wholesome food, and got plenty Of
fresh air and sunshine. But even
that early there were drastic phys
les and purges for tie relief Of con-
stipation which DIR. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human be-
ings to put into their system. So
he wrote a prescription for a laxa-
tive to be used by his patients.
The prescription for constipation
that he used early in his practice.
and which he put in drug stores in
1892 under the name OF DIR. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin, il a liquid
vegetable remedy, intended for
women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such a mild, safe,
gentle bowel stimulant as Syrup
Pepsin.
Under successful management this
prescription has proven its worth
and il nov the largest selling liquid
laxative in the world. The fact that
millions Of bottles are used a year
proves that it has won the confidence
of people who needed it to get re-
ljsf from headaches, biliousness,
fiatulence, Indigestion, loss OF anne
tite and sleep. bad breath, dyspepsia,
colds and fevers.
