IMPORTED LOW-WAGE
PRODUCTS

1t becomes clearer, week by week,
that American labor is just about as
concerned over the influx of low
priced European commodities coming
here in every growing volume as 1t
ever has been over the influx of Euro
pean workers. Where" it is asked,
'is the difference between low wage
workers and low price commodities in
competition with u.s." The volume
of commodities now coming into the
United States, to be sold at cut prices,
is almost staggering. The boot and
shoe workers cite imported shoes as
an example. There are many others.
1t is an issue of Importance, and it is,
by the way, as important to Euro
pean trade unionists as it is to Amer
lean trade unionists.

LABOR'S NON-PARTISAN
POLITICAL POLICY

Throughout it's existence, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor has followed
a policy of non-partisan political
action from which it has departed
only in real emergencies. This non
partisan policy is in accord with the
voluntary principles upon which the
American labor movement rests
American labor has held the belief
that a movement held together by
mutual needs and interests and act
ing together, because they can accom-
plish through united action much
more than as individuals, has stronger
cohesive qualities and constructive
possibilities than movement which
depends on any form of compulsion.
The American Federation of Labor
is based on philosophy of voluntar-
ism and distinguishes carefully be-
tween matters of Individual decision
and those on which the federation
should decide. Two matters which
American traditions have made invio.
late are the individuals rights tc

wage earners depends on wisdom ir

PRESIDENT NAMES
Board to Settle Railroad
Dispute

Washington, D. c.. q. L. N. S.-An
emergency board of five members to
investigate the wage dispute betweeo n
the railroads west of Chicago and the
Order of Railway Conductors and
the Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men has been created by proclamation
OF President Coolidge The board is
TO report its findings to the president
within 80 days.
Ihe member sof the emergency
board, as announced at the White
House, are: James r. Garfield If
Cleveland, Ohio, secretary of the in
terror in the Roosevelt administration
waiter r. Stacy, of Raleigh, N. c..
chief justice of the supreme court Of
Norht Carolina; Prof. Davis R. Dewey
of the Massachusetts Institute Of
Technology, Cambridge, Mass; Ches-
ter R. Howell, of Berkeley, Calf. an
attorney and formerly a member of
the California state railroad commits
sion; George T. Baker, Of Davenport
Iowa.
The proclamation lists AZ Western
railroads as being involved in the
wage dispute, with their conductors
and trainmen, who are said to number
approximately $4,000.
Creation of the board which is pro-
vided under the provisions of the
railway labor act was made necessary
by reason of the failure of the United
States board of mediation to adjust
the dispute. In his proc. amation, the
president recites that the dispute
threatens substantially to interrupt
interstate commerce in the territory
where the carriers operate.
