Are Labor's Strength

San Francisco.-The labor move
ment is about to enter the most
strenuous period in its history, An
drew Furuseth. president of the In
ternational Seamen's Union of Amer
lea, told the San Francisco Labor
Council. He claimed that big busi-
ness is in control Of the country and
the only thing its leaders can think
of or understand is to follow in the
footsteps of the old capitalistic mas
tiers. In his opinion "rationaliza-
tion is eating up and destroying our
civilization"
Mr.. Furuseth expressed his faith
in trade unionism as the protector of
the workers in these times of stress.
Labor will have to fight for the pre-
servation of the conditions it has es-

Cleveland, Ohio (ILNS)-July IS

The culinary workers were locked out
when they refused to accept a "yel-
low dog contract They have put up
q splendid fight and are still full of
the spirit that never says die. They
have received fine support from Cleve-
land labor AS a result of the lock-
out, Cleveland has lost a number of
big conventions, the Moose, Railroad
Trainmen and other organizations re

union workers are denied their rights.

both miners and operators. But
there are signs that the same time
proven stabilizing forces of joint
wage agreements will again be invok-
ed. Joint agreements in West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania, recently ne
gotiated, after six years of market
ing labor and capital assets, give
promise that barbarous self-destruc-
tion will give way to an enlightened
plan.
"The leaders of industry should
recognize, after many years of ex-
perimentation, that there is only one
workable plan-and that, the joint
wage agreement"
Officials of the United Mine Work
ers hope the conference of the bitum-
inous operators recently convened in
Washington by Secretary Of Com
merce Lamont, will result in confer
ences between the miners and the
operators and the reincarnation of the
joint wage agreement.

IGNORE JOBLESS;;
LABOR MUST ACT

Seattle, Wash.-"The 3Oth annual
convention of the Washington State
Federation of Labor meets at time
when very serious problems are con-
fronting the trade union movement" "
says David l. Levine, president of the
Seattle Central Labor Council and edi-
tor of the Washington State Labor
News, in a statement directing at
tention to the convention.
Unemployment is increasing in
stead of decreasing" Levine points
out. In many industries, especially
in unorganized ones, wage cutting is
taking place or threatened. The last
session of our state legislature prac-
tically ignored every attempt for hu-
manitarian legislation, and only
through the efforts of President Tay-
lor, of the State Federation of La
bor, have attempts at vicious legis-
lation to chain labor been defeated.
"No attempt to in any manner plan
for the relief of unemployment has
been made by the governor of our
state. With thousands of our citizens
out of work, the governor is busy
fighting for his particular scheme of
landscaping the grounds at the capt.
tol Truly, while Rome burns, Nero
fddles.
Labor is charged with grave re-
sponsibility. In this crisis the voice
of labor must be heard. We must
point out and lead the way in the
attempts to solve the unemployment
problem, or at least make the burden
of carrying it easier to carry. No
phrase mongers, but actual, practical
plans are required. The best brains
in our movement are needed at this
convention"

the highway construction work. Cen
trail bodies are requested to secure all
information in relation to wages be-
ing paid and hours worked. He
