THE THIRD DEGREE"

England, where the revolving police
third degree" method of extorting
confessions" from prisoners by men
tai or physical torture is rarely used,
has been exercised over alleged use
of the third degree" by London po-
lice in case involving woman. The
Labor member in Parliament demand
ed an investigation which was grant
ed by the home secretary, Sir William
Joynson- Hicks, who admitted that the
charges made, if true, were of the
most damning character to the police.
Sir Williams attitude was quite diff
ferent from that taken by police au-
thorities in the United States, who
seldom show Indignation when accused
of using the third degree" They usu-
ally deny it is used, though any re-
porter knows it is employed by nearly
all police departments.
There are welcome signs of a re-
volt here against the third degree"
In response to an article in Harper's
Magazine giving authenticated
instances of outrageous third degree
brutality, the Association Of the Bar
of the City of New York has taken a
stand against the practice, which has
also been recently denounced by the
New York Court of Appeals.
The American Federation of Labor
has denounced the third degree" in
very strong terms and labor will re-
joice if it is ended. The third degree"
has no place in a civilized nation.

U. s. WORKERS LEAD

The United States leads all other
nations in the productivity of its work
ers, according to the United States
department of commerce, writes Ralph
F. Couch in the International Labor
News Service.
Taking the average output of the
American workman as 100, the Cana
dian, who is his nearest rival, is esti-
mated to produce at the ratio of TO-
The ratio for England is set at 60, or
40 per cent below the American stand
ard. For Germany it is approximately
40; for France 33, and for Australia
80.
The departments figures are said to
picture with substantial accuracy the
comparative productivity of labor in
the nations listed. In estimating the
ratios, account was taken of the work
ing population of each country and the
annual output.
The superior productiveness of labor
in America is held to be due in part
to the skill and efficiency of the work
ers themselves, and partly to machine
processes and scientific management.

A RED HANGMAN'S ROPE

Here comes burst of candor. Brit
ish Communists supported the Labor
party candidates as the rope supports
the hanged man." writes John Pepper
red major general and tactician, in the
last issue of the Communist.
Pepper goes on to let in the light,
saying, "The Communist international
will (now) emphasize the independent
role of the Communist parties in these
countries" Germany, France, Great
Britain and the United States).
As the American Constitution of
points out, this is cut
ting the throats of former friends
and suckers" which means that the
Reds are running exactly true to form.
1t dawns slowly on many persons that
he Red philosophy always has been
,edded on betrayal and deception.

BILL HAYWOOD
DIES IN MOSCOW

Washington.-Cab from Moscow
announce the death of Bill" Hay
wood. He had a paralytic stroke, fol-
lowing several months treatment for
chronic diabetes.
In September, 1917, Haywood and
other l. W. WIS were arrested under
the Espionage act. Haywood was
fined $4,000 and sentenced to 20
years Imprisonment. The United
States supreme court upheld the con-
viction and Haywood jumped his bail
and fled to Russia.
Haywood was secretary of the old
Western Federation of Miners, 80
years ago, when rifle rule by mining
corporations in the Rocky Mountain
states developed the same anarchistic
spirit among employees. Civil war was
rife and the strikes in Cripple Creek
in 1894 and 1904 and in Occur d'Alene
(Idaho) in 1899 and 1902 had world
wide attention.
Men of Haywood's temperament
| flourished and the Western Federation
of Miners were applauded for their
demand for working class control of
the means of production and distribu-
ton"
Former Governor Steunenberg of
Idaho was aSsassinated December 30
1905. Charles H. Meyer, president;
Haywood, secretary, and George Petit
bone, member of the executive board
of the Western Federation, were Sc
cretly arrested in Denver and kid
mapped into Idaho, where they were
charged with the crime.
Harry Orchard, self-confessed gam
bier, murderer and criminal, was the
leading witness for the state. He con-
fessed the dynamiting of Steunen-
berg's home and implicated the three
men. The defense claimed that James
Mcfarland, Pinkerton detective, was
behind Orchard and that the murder
and implication of the three men was
nothing unusual for Orchard.

WATCH GENERAL MOTORS

Now that automobile workers en-
ployed by General Motors in Canada
have shown the way, it may be that
other employees of the gigantic COM
bine will somehow find the energy to
organize for self protection. General
Motors is not in business for mere
health. Workers who are compelled to
enslave themselves in company unions
are invited to watch the stock market
quotations of General Motors and to
watch the dividend rate. 1t may give
them the inspiration to take deeper
and more scientific interest in the
question of wages, hours of labor and
working conditions.

Haywood was placed on trial May 9,

Haywood was placed on trial May 8,
1907, after 15 months imprisonment.
He was acquitted July %. The charges
against Meyer and Pettibone were
dropped. Orchard was sentenced to
life Imprisonment. William E. Borah,
present senator from Idaho, was pros
ecuting attorney. Pettibone died sew
eral years ago and Meyer, because of
i'll health, resigned as president of the
International Union of Mill, Mine and
Smelter Workers. This organization
was affiliated to A. F. of l.. and sue
ceeded the Western Federation of
Miners.
During its stormy career the West
ern Federation was outside the A. F.
of L., but the latter organization de-
Tended the kidnapped men because of
the principle involved.
The Western Federation aided in
launching the Industrial Workers of
the World in Chicago, in 1905. In less
than three years the Wobblies split.

big BILL" HAYWOOD

William D. Haywood, who died re-
Gently in Moscow, devoted an active
life to what he doubtless believed was
the cause of labor. Actually, except
perhaps when he was connected with
the old Western Federation of Miners,
his activities aided labor's forces, by
tending to keep workers in various
fields divided and by stirring up bitter
public resentment against them.
When the test came of going to Jail
with the others of his l. w. w. fol-
lowers convicted of alleged anti-war
activities, Big Bill" showed little of
the Spartan in his makeup, preferring
to jump his bail and flee to Russia.
In the land of the soviets, Haywood
was at first welcomed with open arms
but he didn't exactly fit in with the
communist scheme of things, despite
his revolutionary views, and he spent
the rest of his life in comparative OBJ
scurity, far from home and the life
to which he was accustomed
At the last, Big Bill's" thoughts
must have turned to the America
which he had so often professed to
scorn, as he directed that half of his
ashes should be buried in Chicago, be-
side the grave of the men executed
after the Haymarket anarchist riots.

FEDERATION BANK
Forms S5,O00,OOO New Cor
pOratiOn

New York City, |. L. N. S.).-An-
nouncement of the formation of the
Federation Shareholders Corporation
capitalized at s5,000,0O0, was made
by President Peter j. Brady at the
celebration of the fifth anniversary OF
the Federation Bank and Trust com
pany, labor's great banking institu-
tion here.
The new corporation will conduct a
general business and help to promote
the interests of the bank. Only ST.
100000 of the capital stock of the
new corporation will be issued at the
outset and preference will be given
stockholders of the bank.
President Brady announced that the
formation of the new corporation is
in line with general practice among
successful banks.
On the bank birthday anniversary
President Green of the A. F. of L.
among many others, sent congratula-
tions, saying:
upon the fifth anniversary of the
Federation Bank and Trust company
/ extend to you and your associate
officers my heartiest congratulations.
The showing which you have made is
remarkable indeed. 1t seems incom-
prehensible that a financial institution
could make the remarkable progress
which the Federation Bank and Trust
company has made within the short
period of five years.
81 am proud of your achievements.
The work which you have done shows
that labor and labor's representatives
are thoroughly competent to manage
and control their own financial insti-
tutions.
~ am sure that you will continue
to show the same wisdom, caution and
in management which
has characterized your management
luring the past five years. A strict
adherence to this policy will mean a
till larger measure of success"

NON-UNION MINES DEADLY

An explosion at the mine of the
non-union Mather Colleries company,
Mather, Pa, killed 200 workers. The
cause is unknown, as usual. 1t is sig
nifcant that mine disasters, as rule,
occur in non-union mines.
The Tilted States Bureau of Mines
reports that from April, 1917, to April,
1927, there were IA coal mine disasters
in this country in which the loss of
life exceeded so persons. The Mather
disaster makes Is.
The United Mine Workers show that
eleven of these explosions were in nom
union mines, with a total death roll of
1,176, and four in union mines with
death roll of 800. The highest num-
Der of deaths were in non-union mines
Mather, 200; Castle Gate, Utah, I'll;
Hastings, Col, 121; Dawson, N. M,
100, and Benwood, w. Va, 119.
This record speaks for itself. Where
mine laws are not enforced, where
miners must accept work conditions
the employed elects, and where there
are no miners examination laws, loss
of life and destruction of property
follow.

FRIDAY, JUNE /, 1923
OVERTIME

Overtime work is common method
of getting out extra production in a
rush period. 1t is so common as to
have become the rule in many indus
tries subject to high pressure in the
busy season. 1t is often the remedy,
also, for lack of foresight and plan
ming within the plant; one department
failing to keep up to schedule works
overtime to make up production ar
rears. But employers resorting to
these methods rarely count the cost.
Those who have studied overtime in
relation to production cost find that it
does not pay. 1t is wasteful and ex-
pensive way to meet extra demands.
Henry Ford has eliminated overtime
in his plants because he found that it
was too costly and inefficient to be
used in a process of manufacture
which demanded every economy.
A plant running on steady schedule
reaches certain rhythm of operation.
1t is keyed to the pace at which work
can be most efficiently and skilfully
performed, and which can be main
tanned for long periods without over
fatigue to the workers. Overtime
breaks up this rhythm 1t brings high
tension activity for exhausting hours,
a severe strain on men, foremen and
executives. Under the wear and tear
of this pressure, production can not
be maintained at high level of quail
ity and efficiency. Ordered routine is
also sacrificed; the whole plant suf-
fers. A period of depression must fol-
low, with work force fatigued and
schedules disorganized, meaning fur
ther inefficiencies before normal pro-
duction is restored.
Overtime is essentially an emer-
gency measure But seasonal rush
times, recurring periodically every
year, are not emergencies. They can
be counted on and planned for. The
part of wisdom is to study the de-
mands which are likely to be put on
the plant at these times and plan to
meet them as part of the yearly pro-
gram, rather than to treat them as
emergencies.
Labor has definite stake in this
matter. Overtime and underline usu-
ally go together. The workman who
is fatigued with overwork at certain
seasons and hardly has an hour he
may call his own is likely also to suf-
fer from unemployment at other sea-
sons. Overtime work is characteristic
of an ill-regulated, unstabilized pro-
gram of production. No extra pay for
overtime can make up for insecurity
and disorganization of the wage-earn-
ers' work life.-The Chronicle.

Later Haywood visited France and
became imbued with Georges Sorel's
syndicalist theory-that the present
social order can only be overthrown
by succession of short, sharp, ire
sponsible strikes, saboting production
and ignoring contracts. This rejection
of every political philosophy rent the
Socialist party at the time and caused
Haywood's expulsion from the ma
tional committee.
From then until his hurried trip to
Russia Haywood was cleft winger"

GIVE COOLIDGE NIGHT JOB

President Coolidge on May 18 in
dulged in veto orgy, disappearing
eight bills, including a House bill to
pay postal service employees an addi-
tional 10 per cent for their hourly pay
for night work.
If the president had even been a
night worker for any length of time,
he perhaps would appreciate what it is
to be a night worker and would have
approved of higher pay for postal
service night work.
Night work is usually the hardest
kind of a grind. 1t is an unnatural
existence, keeping a worker away
from his family and friends, largely
cutting him off from normal social
life and putting a heavier strain on
his physical and mental powers than
day work. The postal workers asked
only a modest extra compensation for
night duty and surely deserved what
they sought.
Postal employees haven't any time
to spend wishing hard luck for Pres
ident Coolidge but it would not be
surprising if some of them would like
to see him forced to take night job
after he leaves the White House. If
he did and worked nights only few
months, he might wonder why he ve-
toed the night work bill.

 Alaska Shipped Seattle

With the first cargo of limerock for the plant of the Pacific Coast Cement Co.,, in Seattle, the steam ship Eastern Coast arrived in Seat tie recently from Southeastern AI- aska. The vessel came from View Cove, Dall Island, where the quar- ries of the cement company are To- cated. She had a full cargo of 6,000 tons of limerock. The Eastern Coast will make trips to Seattle with limerock every 10 days.
 Engineers, in establishing tine new cement plant in Seattle, recog- nized that great distances can be travelled by water at the equivalent cost of very short distances on land Alaska limerock also was selected because the calcuim carbonate con- tent is probably not eXcelle1 by any deposit in the world and the Quan- tity is sufficient to last hundreds of years.
