MOUTHPIECE OF
LABOR LEADERS
ISSUES EULOGY
Lauck Peddles Dope to
Workers
By JOHN L. SHERMAN.


,rker-employer, disqualification,
more subtle, dressed up in more at
tractive trappings, than its predeces-
sors, the Watson Parker Law and the
B. & o. Plan, but the same old scheme
for hamstringing the activities of the
workers. inflammation" will I'M
doubtedly become one of the new
forms of company unionism which la
Dor will have to combat in the near
future.
SpOuter For Labor Takers.
W. Jett Lauck, so-called labor econ
omist, and recognized as the mouth
piece of the A. F. of l.. labor bu-
reaucracy, Saturday issued a second
and more detailed eulogy of the re-
cent agreement drawn up between the
Mitten management of Philadelphia
and the Amalgamated Association of
Street and Electric Railway Employ
es. In this statement Lauck halls the
agreement as one which will usher in
a "new era in union management CO.
operation"
The new plan which President VIM.
D. Mahon of the Amalgamated has
accepted for his organization provides
for the recognition of the street car
union on all lines which the Mitten
management may in the future ac-
quire. The plan carefully excludes
the union from recognition on the
Philadelphia lines which Lauek and
others have held up as model of
worker-employer relationship.
Deliberately Misleads.
In eulogizing the new agreement,
Lauck deliberately, it is believed,
omits the mention of this significant
fact and very obviously seeks to give
the impression that the plan en-
bodies full union recognition. From
the standpoint of organized labor" he
says, "the only fundamental principle
hitherto lacking Tin the otherwise
perfect Mitten PLAN. L. 81 was
that of unionization. This has now
been removed by its agreement with
the street railway union" Lanck
says nothing of the attitude of the
Mitten employees to the plan.
Why does this tin-horn propagan-
dist, who is well aware of the mis-
leading nature of this assertion, new
ertheless seek to pass it off as fact :?
The answer is suggested by Lauck
himself: "The plan has not only in
sured industrial peace, but has de-
veloped unprecedented produc-
tive efficiency of employees" In an
other place he says: Operating eff
ficiency and cooperation . is with
out parallel in the country"
Speed Up.
Speed-up! This is the explanation
The same reason which motivates the
B. & o. plan, the beneficient accom-
plishments of which are now being
seriously questioned even by those
who were at first its most rabid ex-
ponents. Incidentally, this is the
same reason which motivates the
company union. Why does Jett Lauck
speak so fervently for the speed-up
system? Certain surmises may be
made.
In spite of Laucks utter servility
in making himself a willing mouth
piece for the A. F. of L. propaganda,
he has for some reason failed to con-
meet with the fat payrole of the bu-
reaucratic machine. His efforts, it
is known, have gone almost unre-
warded. 1t is not unlikely, therefore,
that he is now seeking berth where
faithful service will be more greatly
appreciated.
Recently at the anti-strike law
