STATE COLLECTS
WAGES FOR UN-
PAID EMPLOYEES

Denver, Colo.-During 1925 and
1926 the Colorado Bureau of Labor
Statistics collected SAL ,903.6S in wage
claims submitted by Colorado workers
against employers. There is no legal
authority for such activity by the bu-
reau. But the almost helpless con-
dition of those who apply for assist
ance prompts the office to do all it
can to secure for the claimants the
wages rightfully due them.
The hostility of employers to the
bureaus wage collection system is re-
vealed by the bureaus statement that
in majority of cases a final settle
ment is not effected until large num-
ber Of trips are made.

Drastic Injunction Against
Five Chicago Printing Unions

1t is considered significant that E..
E. Laxman, head of the White Print
ing House, retained his office of presi-
dent of the Franklin Association up
to within one hour of the lockout, when
he resigned.
/. The Franklin Association is an or
ganization of employing printers
which long has dealt with the printing
trades unions, and the White Printing
House was bound by contract with
Typographical Union No. 16 which was
dated to expire in June, 1929, and un-
derwritten by the Franklin Associa-
ton, of which Laxman was the presi-
dent
Careful Preparations for Lockout
Made
To make matters worse, Laxman
had been mobilizing crew of the
worst looking "rats" and gunmen
and sluggers ever seen on this conti-
nent for six months prior to the lock-
out. This activity had been success
fully covered up until within a few
hours of the lockout through the in
strumentality of the Open Shop En-
ployers' Association, with which Lax
man, as head of the union employers
organization, was not supposed to be
allied.

YELLOW DOG BILL
Holds Lines in California
Assembly; Now Up to
Senate

By International Labor News Service.
Sacramento, Cal.-Labor's foes have
lost again in their fight to stop pas
sage of the anti-yellow dog contract
bill sponsored by the California State
Federation of Labor.
On motion for reconsideration in
the assembly, reconsideration was
beaten by a vote of SO to 40 votes,
reconsideration requiring a clear ma
jority of II for success.
To produce the last possible vote
against labor, the assembly had
"call of the house" for three and one
half hours, the opposition finally be-
ing forced to concede defeat. The bill
now goes to the senate, where no pre-
dictions are being made.
This is the most reactionary legis-
lature California has had for at least
20 years The allied predatory inter
ests will not center all their fire on
the senate in an effort to kill this last
surviving labor measure in the few
days of senate sessions that remain
before final adjournment.

INTELLIGENT LEADERSHIP WINS

organized body Of men, whether re-
ligious, political or social, that can
duplicate this achievement Just
imagine, adding to the incomes of the
families of about seven thousand
workers an increase equal to about
S22.00 month, and bear in mind, the
milk wagon drivers do not go back
ward-they go forward, and we hope
and trust this is not the end.
If the great labor movement of our
country and our international, and its
subordinate locals, had never before
won any other victories, it could point
to this victory of the milk wagon driv-
ers and say: "This, in itself, is re-
markable accomplishment"
When | look around and see the
unorganized milk wagon drivers in
some cities receiving barely enough
to sustain existence, it is indeed
heartrending and pitiful to contem-
plate the slothfulness of those unor-
ganized workers.
Too much praise cannot be given
the members of the committee of the
Milk Wagon Drivers Union, led by
Brother Neer, for this substantial ad-
vancement.
The membership of the local is ex-
ceptionally generous to it's officers,
but no matter what they do for them,
they cannot do too much.
The wonderful accomplishment of
the Milk Wagon Drivers Union is a
beacon light for other unions to fol
low. The best of it all is there was
n oserious misunderstanding with the
employers, and that peace and pros
perity are bound to prevail in this

thorough training in its use.
'The trade unions in France have
many restrictions imposed upon them
that are not conducive to efficient
functioning and healthy growth,
and the government has. the greatest
military machine in the world to en-
force those restrictions.
England Follows Fascist Lead
England, too, is following. the lead
of Mussolini, as evidenced by the dras-
tic anti-labor bill introduced in the
British parliament by the Baldwin
government and which seems certain
of passage by big majority" con-
tinued Mr.. Furuseth.
'There are many other evidences
of this trend, but we need only to
take the recent decision handed down
by the United States supreme court
in the Indiana stone cutters case in
order to bring the matter home tc
every liberty-loving American and
particularly to every trade unionist or
this side of the water. That decision
is bound to do great injury to every
trade union and presents a problem
that will require the best thought OF
the movement to solve.

/ met Bill Neer in Chicago and he
informed me that the milk wagon driv-
ers had just signed their agreement
with their employers for term of
five years, obtaining an increase in
wages of $2 week.
There are six thousand members in
this local who will receive this in
crease, and it will also automatically
apply to two hundred milk wagon driv-
ers in Gary, two hundred in Ham
mond, one hundred and fifty in East
Chicago, and to several other small
districts within a radius of fifty miles
of Chicago, amounting in all to about
seven thousand men. At five dol
lars week this will add to the week
ly pay roll a total of $4,000; to the
yearly pay roll $1,920,000, and in five
years the increase in wages will
amount to $9,6OO,OOO; this in addition
to the splendid wages they are now
receiving.
Is there any institution in the world,
outside of the labor movement, which
could bring about such wonders? A
body of working men without being
represented by lawyers or attorneys,
is able to reach an agreement, with
out strike or misunderstanding
wherein an increase in wages has been
gained, which, for the life of the
agreement, amounts to almost ten
million dollars.
