LABOR SUIT
In Hosiery Strikers Case
Makes Injunction
History

Milwaukee.-A jury in Federal Dis
trict Judge Geiger's court made his
tory when it cleared "a striking mem
bers of the Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers Union of contempt of court.
They were charged with violating an
injunction granted to the Allen-A
Company Of Nenosha, Wis.
Judge Geiger instructed the jury
that testimony had shown the strik-
ers ignored, the order not to picket,
but the jury must decide whether
there had been a conspiracy to violate
the order.
Under the Clayton law a jury trial
is guaranteed in criminal contempts
that is, where an act committed
is violation of statutory law. The
United States supreme court upheld
this section in 1924 in the case of
shop men on strike against the Chi
cago, st. Paul, Minneapolis and Oma-
ha railroad. These workers were
charged with conspiring to interfere
with interstate commerce by picket
ing and with using force and violence.
The shop men were denied a trial by
jury and this was affirmed by the cir
cult court of appeals and reversed
by the supreme court. The court held
=
tempts) prosecution must be in con-
formity with the practice in criminal
cases."
Attorneys for anti-union employers
who secure injunctions evade this
clause of the Clayton act by charging
workers with acts that are not Grim
inal, such as interference with pa
tronage"

out boasting, it can be said as fact
that the only craftsmanship, where
unemployment is concerned, is found
in the ranks of labor. There is no
craftsmanship among employers, with
rare exceptions, and there is no states.
manship among politicians. The de-
cadence of politics as a power for
constructive work in the world of in
dustry is very near complete. The
difficulty is that the corpse has no
realization of its derelict condition and
so merely insists upon getting in the
way, without in any material manner
contributing to human progress and
human efforts to dig out of the morass
of ignorance and maladjustment. In
dustry will have to do that for itself.
and if politicians would contribute
really to constructive end, they
should realize their opportunities in
that specific direction"

RIGHT TO STRIKE

regarding the injunction taken out by

body of workers can strike against

BY WILLIAM J. BOWEN

Washington, d. C. Q. L. N. ST.
While the permanent unemployment
problem is as grave as it was a month
ago, there has not yet come from
those who have offered public COM
ment any suggestion that gets at the
fundamentals of the situation and
offers a remedy" says William J.
Bowen, president of the Bricklayers,
Masons and Plasterers' International
Union, in the leading article of the
Forthcoming issue of the Journal of
his organization.
President Bowen points out that
while seasonal unemployment is un-
doubtedly decreasing. there is no
change in the problem of unemploy-
ment caused by introduction of ma
chinery, which he terms the perma-
nent issue. He declares that inven-
ton, natural resources - Americas
very productiveness-and the fruit of
her soil and her genius combine to pile
up enormous profits while more and
more men are thrown upon the streets
because of those things. He points
out that the rate of displacement of
men by machinery is now about three
times what it was in 1921 and asserts
that unemployment is proof of the
laundering of management, as well as
social menace and an unwarranted
hardship upon those thrown out of
work. He declares that labor must
keep the issue uppermost and demand

PER CAPITA PAY
Rising Since 1922, Figures
Indicate

Albany, n Y. U. L. n. 81
Throughout the first quarter of 1928,
total weekly payrolls in factories of
New York state were lower than dur
ing the first three months of any year
since 1922, Industrial Commissioner
James A. Hamilton said April %.
He continued:
1T is true that payrolls have re-
ceded less rapidly in the last five
years than has employment. Never
theless total weekly payrolls in all the
factories of the state were approx
mately three and one-half million dol
lars lower in March, 1928, than in
March, 1923, and over two million
dollars lower than in March year
ago These estimates are based on
monthly reports from a fixed list of

senting various industries and en-
ploying more than third of all the
factory workers in the state.

were 10 per cent lower than they
were five years ago, while the num-
Der Of workers employed in factories
was 20 per cent lower The rise in
average per capita earnings which
these figures indicate has been fairly
constant since 1922 1t is due partly
to a rise in actual wage rates. 1t
may result also from the dismissal
of low-paid workers. In periods of
decreasing employment, it often hap
pens that the lower paid workers are
laid off first with the result that the
average wage of those remaining is
higher, although no one of them is re-
ceiving more than he did before"

Declaring Labor Must Pound Away
At Issue Which Politicians Will
Soon Forget.

/ cure until cure is found. AS to these
phases of the problem, President
Bowen, who heads one of the best or
ganized and most militant unions in
the country, says:
Why Are Men idle?
Looking at this striking phase of
the situation the conclusion is ines
capable that large part of American
unemployment is caused by the very
fertility of American invention, by the
very richness of her resources and re-
sourcefulness, by her inventiveness
and her prodigality. Looking, with
the same eyes and at the same time,
at the tremendous piling up of cor
porate profits, dividends, surplusses
and stock values, we know even more
definitely that this is so. And we
know as surely as anything can be
known that unless there is a continu-
ously growing wage rate and con-
! tinuously lowering number of work
hours per man per week, there will
not only be no cure, but there will in
the end be complete paralysis, the
tragic and destructive elimination of
which we can only surmfse.
when we see these enormous totals
of surplus wealth, in the form of divi-
dends and profits, when we know that
the great industrial system of Amer
lea not only is capable of producing
more than enough to keep every
American at least in comfort and act
ually does produce enough, we are
justified in demanding to know why
there is any unemployment in Amer
lea, and we shall be culprits toward
this and future generations if we do
not persist in hurting that query in
every direction until unemployment is
done away with forever in this great
republic. 1t will take more than ora
tory, to be sure, to wipe out the curse
of unemployment-of enforced star
vation-but labor has always stood
ready to contribute its share of con-
structive effort toward that end.
i When the other factors in industry
come to like state of mind the end
of unemployment will be in sight. The
time has come for the realization of
that dream of labor through the
= II
it is proof incontestable that those
who manage industry have blundered.
What sane reason is there for per-
mitting them to blunder so tragically
without penalty? What sane reason
is there for allowing those blunders
to continue? How much unemploy-
ment there may be just now does not
matter so much. Whatever the fig
ure may be, it is too high.
Politicians VIII Forget
"As the crisis passes politicians will
forget and the statisticians will pore
over other problems. But labor ought
not forget, for it is the victim I'm
employment in America can be abol-
/. ished and American prosperity will
disappear eventually unless unem-
ployment is abolished.

Farm Bureau Federation, show a
sharp decrease in wages for all clas-

of farm labor tells the story in a
nutshell" said Mr.. Jones in comment

A number of counties report an
over-supply of married men looking
for jobs, with wages for married men
running from $50 to SIS per month.
