Who Roasted UniOnism

Jimmy" Williams, who used to
roast labor unions from his desk as
editor of the Boston Transcript
oracle of copper mining companies
IS now running w. r. Hearst's CAM
paign against Filipino independence.
Hearst picked up Williams after sn
explosion in the Transcript premises
following the death Of Henry Cabot
Lodge. He sent Williams to the
Philippines with Carmi Thompson.
Williams became the warm champion
of Gen. Leonard Wood, and has indi-
Gated sharp peevishness when Thomp-
son failed to find the military rule
Of the Islands all that perfect gov
ernment should be. Now, with car
toon and big type, and in phrases
worthy of his Bisbee days, Williams
denounces the Filippinos for not living
Wood. He urges congress, in Gods
name and Hearst's, to give back to
Wood some Of the powers that have
slipped ento Filipino hands.

Argentine Secretary
Orders Disregard of
SOcials Legislation

The Argentinian Home Secretary
has recently given orders to the Min
lister of Labor, who is his subordin-
ate, to drop cases Of the violation Of
legislation protecting labor when
ever it seems impossible to ascertain
the true facts of the case. More as
tonishing even than the ordinance is
the reason given for it, 1t is actu-
ally declared that the complaints sent
in are so numerous that the judges of
the industrial courts cannot cope
with their work. The Home Secre-
tary's decree sets the seal of its APP
proval upon this administrative in
adequacy, and also upon thu very
general anti-labor prejudice of the
courts; for it is very seldom that the
employers are pronounced guilty Of
these offenses against protective
legislation, although the charges are
made by state inspectors and there
fore obviously justified. In little
over year, from December, 1923, to
February, 1925, 1886 cases were re-
ferred to the courts, but only 731 of
these were actually dealt with, and
only in Cpl cases was any penalty inn
posed upon the employer.

Tammany Hall Friend
OF Labor Would Dodge

In New York City campaigns one
of the loudest friends Of labor" is
one Carew, now chairman of the Tam
many delegation in the House at
Washington. The other day a quiet
spoken representative of soma scores
of thousands Of organized workers,
many Of whom vote in New York
City, sent his card to Carew. He
waited 10 minutes. He sent in again.
The messenger reported that Carew
was engaged in talk with another
congressman. After further 10
minutes the Tammany statesman was
still inside. The legislative agent Of
trade unions then sent in an inquiry
as TO whether Carew were coming out.
Carew came, red-faced with resent
ment, but just bit afraid to raise
the issue as to whether labor union
may speak to q Tammany leader.

international Steel
Trust Leaves European
Countries Enemies Yet

BERLIN, Feb. 1.-The recent
justification of Germany's industries
have not brought a decrease in the
unemployment situation. The reports
show that the number of dependent
workers has increased during the last
month about $3.50, making a total of
about 2 million men and women, who
are drawing unemployment doles.
The sudden rise of the franc has
placed Germany in a favorable COM
petitive position, so much so, that she
overreached her production quota in
the steel industry, as the result of
which she will have to pay fine to
the steel cartel, which regulates the
production Of each member nation,
amounting to $2,690,000.
The tendency Of the newly formed
cartel shows that it in no way ex-
cludes trade. enmity, but that the
competition for markets has been re-
placed by a struggle over the size Of
the production quota.

Of carpenters for collective bargain
ing, is offering group insurance to
strike-breakers and american Plan
workmen." The Sherman Service,
and other big espionage corporations,
"sell' these plans to employers and
install operatives to whip workers
opinion into shape to receive it.
Among propaganda methods used in
selling the plan are bulletin boards,
letters to workers, mass meetings, ad-
dressed by company officials, and in
surance company agents, conferences
Of foremen and "keymen," stories in
house organs, wall posters, pay enve-
lope inserts, pamphlets and slips at
tached to employment applications.
The Metal Trades Association advises
these methods.
Some typical non-union companies
using employee group insurance are
General Motors, General Electric, u.
S. Rubber, Cleveland Twist Drill,
Worthington Pump G. Machinery, Ar
mour, Youngstown Sheet g. Tube, At
lantic & Pacific, Packard Cleveland
Motor, Kellogg, Yale & Towne, and
many railroad companies, such as
Erie, Rock Island and Northern Paci-
fic. Major insurance companies writ
ing these policies are Travellers, Met
ropolitan, Aetna, Equitable, Connecti-
cut, General, Prudential and Missouri
State.
Like other welfare schemes, group
insurance costs the company very
little in proportion to the de-unioniz-
ing results obtained. The National
Metal Trades Association estimates
it as slightly in excess of ia Of the
corporations payroll.
