The strike vote taken is almost unani-

The trainmen and conductors de-
mand wage increases of from 10 to

were willing to concede an increase of
7 1-2 per cent. The deadlock was
reached on a working rule issue.

GREEN STRESSES
Duty OF Labor To Back Sen.
timents With Votes

indianapolis, Ind. (I. L. n. S.).-In
an address before the Indiana State
Federation of Labor at Evansville at
the annual convention of that organ
ization, Frank C. Daley, Democratic
candidate for governor, told the dele
gates he was committed to the policy
in the state platform of the party in
relation to organized labor and would
see that it was carried out if elected.
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, pre-
ceded Mr.. Daley in his talk and ad
dressed a huge audience, discussing
the affairs of organized labor and the
duty of trade unionists to go to the
polls on election day and vote their
sentiments. He urged q non-partisan
stand on national politics, but reiter-
ated the plea of T. n. Taylor, state
federation president, that every work
ing man go to the polls and vote in an
effort to get the best men in office
through choice of the majority. He
attacked the abuse Of injunctions as
directly striking at freedom of speech.
The goal of the labor movement, he
asserted, is better wages, hours and
living conditions.

Strike on Western Railroads
Looms Unless President Can
Bring Settlement in Dispute

Chicago, Il. L. N. S.).-There is
prospect of a strike of 10000 train
men and conductors on 55 railroads
west of Chicago unless President
Coolidge can find way of ironing out
the differences between the carriers
and employees. This eventuality be-
came apparent when the United States
Board of Mediation gave up the task
following more than two weeks of ef-
fort to effect a settlement.
The law requires the board to re-
port to the president, who may ap-
point an emergency board which may
make report of the facts ascertained
within 80 days. Following that the
employees may strike if they so choose.

Mine Work Soon to Resume
Following Ratification Of
New Wage Agreements

Indianapolis, Ind, Q. L. N. So
Operators in the soft coal regions of
Illinois, Iowa, Ohio and the southwest
have reached agreements on the wage
controversy and the agreements await
early ratification by the rank and file
of the United Mine Workers.
Vice President Philip Murray of the
United Mine Workers expresses the
hope that the bituminous operators
of Western Pennsylvania will follow
the lead of the states named and ne
gotiate an agreement with the union.
Mr.. Murray said that a failure to
reach an agreement in western Penn
sylvania would result disastrously to
the coal industry in that section.
The Illinois agreement provides for
wage basis of $6i0 for day men and
81 cents ton for the tonnage rate.
The contract is in effect until 1882.
1t is on the above basis that the
Indiana miners are attempting to ne
gotiate contract with the operators.
At a former meeting, held several
weeks ago, the operators and miners
failed to reach an understanding, the
operators holding out for the 1917
scale, which was So a day.
In Ohio the joint conference be-
tween the miners and operators re-
suited in an agreement based on the
1917 scale of $5 a day. The geo
graphical situation in Ohio--its near
ness to the non-union coal fields OF
West Virginia and Kentucky-had a
strong bearing in forcing the 1917
scale to the front However, under
the new contract, committee OF op-
orators and miners will be appointed
to make survey of the coal situation
in Ohio relative to wage conditions
and report to a joint conference IN
1880 relative to new scale. The
same situation prevails in the south
west region where the miners accept
ed the 1917 scale.

international Labor News Service
Chicago.-The fourteenth regular
convention of the Commercial Tele-
graphers' Union of America, held in
this city, overwhelmingly voted down
a proposal to restrict membership in
the organization to Morse operators
only, which would bar operators of
printer machines, new invention
which is alleged to be labor saving
device
The proposal to amend the laws to
discriminate in favor of Morse oper-
ators came in the form of bill" in
troduced by Delegate Percy Thomas
of New York and sponsored by the
Eastern Broker Division of the union.
Proposal Beaten After Long Debate
Following nearly two days of heat
ed debate, in which charges of "se-
cession" were hurled, the bill" was
defeated by 10-to-1 vote.
The delegates from Canada and the
western and southern parts of the
United States were vigorous in their
oposition. Charges of secession"
came mainly from the Canadian dele
CATION, which recently has had bitter
experiences with Communist machina-
tions aimed to destroy the organiza-
ton.
The delegates from New York took
the floor in their defense and present
ed convincing arguments to show that
secession was not their object and that
they were guiltless of Communist af-
filiation. Their aim, they said, was to
protect the interests of the old-time

TEXTILE WORKERS
Union Votes For Study Of
Tariff Situation

New York City, I. L. N. 81
President Thomas F. Mcmahon of the
United Textile Workers was reelected
by the unions convention here. Other
officers chosen were Secretary Treas
urer James Starr, First Vice President
Francis j. German and Second Vice
President William Kelly
The convention voted for an ex-
haustive study of the tariff in the
various branches of the textile indus
try, to be followed by an appeal to the
Tariff Commission for such changes
as the union considers necessary to
uphold American living standards.
This action was taken at the request
of the Philadelphia upholstery work
ers, who pointed out that their indus
try is in disastrous depression owing
to increased imports from France, Bel
gium and Italy.
The convention voted to levy an as
sessment to carry on the New Bed
ford strike and to continue appeals
to other unions for support of the long
fight against wage reduction.
Another decision was to make a sur
vey of the southern mill centers with
view to starting an organization
drive if conditions are found propiti-
Gus. The union has heretofore found
it impossible to make much headway
the south. Reports to the convention
were that the southern workers were
ready for unionization, however.

Proposal For Restricting
Cards to Morse Operators
Defeated By 1O-to-l Vote

Morse operator who had spent life
time in perfecting himself in his pro-
fession and is now threatened with the
scrap heap by an invasion of the ma
chine manned by amateurs.
New York Failed to Act Vigorously
The writer was told privately that
the principal trouble in New York is
that the telegraphers there failed to
act vigorously when the machine was
first introduced. Failure to place
Morse operators on the machines in
New York at the beginning has
brought about the present bad situa-
ton, it is said. Out this way and in
Canada the machines are being man
ned by Morse operators as fast as
they are introduced, we are told
The convention finally decided to
refer the whole matter to commit
tee, which was instructed to make a
thorough study of the problem and
then to draw up statement TO be
sent to all brokerage houses and 9TH
ers using leased wires
The telegraphers contend that the
brokers have heard only one side of
the argument. High pressure sales
men from the American Telegraph
and Telephone Company visit the
brokers and present fallacious argu-
ment that the machine is a labor-sav-
| ing device. The telegraphers say that
the machine has not sufficient fiexi-
bility for use in a brokerage office
and that better results are achieved by
use of the old Morse methods in that
particular line of work.
Fail to See Telegraphers' Side
The brokers who buy these machine
upon misrepresentation cannot see the
errors in the argument presented by
the statesmen because of the lack of
practical experience on the part of the
purchaser, it is pointed out. The brok-
er, too, is in error by his failure to
consult with his operators.
1t is the purpose of the telegraphers
to prepare and present their argument
against the machine to the broker
even though he has shown reluctance
to hear that side of the case. In the
meantimeefforts will be made to man
the machines with Morse operators
as fast as the machine is introduced
1t is claimed that an old-time Morse
operator is better equipped to become
an efficient machine printer than any
amateur brought in from the outside
Victor A. 0lander, secretary treas
urer of the international Seaman's
Union, made an able presentation OF
his popular speech on the machine
problem. Secretary Olander has spent
much time and thought in perfectine
this particular address, which he has
delivered before many gatherings
The telegraphers gave him big ova-
tion when he had concluded.
Workers Duty to Control Machine
Mr. Olander pointed out to the del
egates that they had been chartered
by the American Federation of Labor
to exercise jurisdiction over the fielc
of commercial telegraphy, and tha
if they did not properly take care o,
their job some one else would step il
and take care of it for them He tolt

them that it was their duty to con-
troll the machine or it would control
them. He said that if the union failed
to admit the machine operator to
membership the Morse operator event
ually would find himself dominated
by the machine printer.

| been done in spite of the worst cam
paign of villification, abuse and mis-
Interpretation that has ever occurred
in the history of the Mine Workers
Union. Many of our members have
, been misled by the propaganda that
has eminated from the elements that
are seeking to destroy us.
"We believe that with the adoption
of the new wage scale many of our
idle miners will have a chance to re-
turn to work and make living for
themselves and those dependent on
them"
Secretary Nesbit notified all locals
the agreement would become effective
at once.
Confidence Held Expressed
While ratification of the new wage
agreement was accomplished by the
marrow margin of | ,341 votes, officials
of the union look upon the vote as
an expression of confidence in their
administration.
Operators in several mines in
Springfield have announced that pro-
duction will be resumed Immediately
under terms of the new contract, which
provides basic day wage of $6.10
and 81 cents for tonnage men, as COM
pared with $3.50 and $108 under the
Jacksonville wage.
A reduction of $1,40 per day in sal
aries of state officials of the Illinois
Mine Workers was voted at meeting
of the state executive board of the
union This is equal to the cut taken
by coal diggers under the new wage
scale.
All Officials Affected
President Harry Fishwick said the
reduction applies to all state officials,
executive board members and field
workers Of the organization, as pro
vided by union law.
Springfield mine owners have an
nounced that the retail price of coal
will drop 20 cents ton. This reduc-
ton, it is hoped, will materially assist
in meeting the competition of the non
union coal fields.
