idle.
Bills were introduced in congress
to place an embargo on the importa-
ton of oil, and they were supported
by the American Federation of La
Dor. The refusal of congress to listen
to the pleas of the unemployed oil
workers so aroused certain senators.
that filibuster was begun in the
closing hours of the session which
prevented all legislation being con-
sidered."
The council points out that, despite
the failure of the embargo on for
eign oil, congress materially reliev-
ed unemployment among the oil work
ers by inserting a provision in the
navy department appropriation bill
that mo part of the appropriation
shall be available for the purchase of
any kind of fuel of foreign produc-
ton where oil produced in the United
States or its possessions may be pro-
durable, Notwithstanding that oil pro-
duction of the United States or it's
possessions may cost more than oil
of foreign production"

labor in the market governed by the
law of supply and demand. They are
advance credit paid in advance of the
product which the worker helped to
create. Higher wages are necessary
to maintain an economic machine
geared to high production.
Labor further points out that wage
rates and labor costs are not the same
thing. and that high wage rates usu-
ally resulted in low labor costs per
unit production.
Furthermore, the maintenance of
wage rates is dynamic factor in
sustaining our economic machine and
in supporting confidence. The sturdy
common sense of American wage
earners has been one of the most con-
structive stabilizing forces in this
business depression, To cut his al
ready inadequate wages in addition to
reducing him to part time work would
be most sorry expression Of appre-
ciation."

WAGE CUT POLICY
Draws Sharp Fire From
A. F. of L. Council

The action of bankers in demanding
wage reductions to parallel price de.
clines is emphatically condemned by
the executive council of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor in its report
to the federation's 1881 convention.
Bankers have argued that the de.
cline in the costs of living meant that
wage cut would not lower standards
of living" the report says.
Their understanding of the situa.
ton was based upon Fundamental
hypothesis that labor should be kept
within certain definite limits thai
would keep it always dependent
modern version of the master and
servant philosophy that has curbee
labor's efforts and ambitions for
progress.
Labor believes that it has a right
to something more than it's present
share IN returns on the output of in
dustries-that it is a partner in pro-
duction and should have status ac-
cordingly.
Labor also points to the fact that
wages constitute avery large portion
of the buying power upon which re-
tail sales depend to form market
for our products.
Wages are not just the price of

There were many thousands of un.

United States. Despite this, Ameri.
can oil interests began the wholesale
importation of oil from South Amer

our own oil and added many more oil
well workers to the unemployed.

HALF HOLIDAY
For Federal Employees Se-
cured by Labor Move
ment

The trade union movement during
last winters session of congress Sc
cured the enactment of laws giving
the shorter work week without reduc-
tion in pay to over half a million gov
ernment employees, the executive coun-
eel of the American Federation of La
Dor said in its report on national la
Dor legislation to the 1881 conven-
tion of the federation at Vancouver.
Nearly 100000 employees of the
federal government and the District
of Columbia" the council stated.
were granted shorter work dav
on Saturdays the year round in two
laws enacted by congress, without re-
duction in wages and salaries. The
first provided for a 44-hour week for
315,000 employees in the postal serv-
ice and the others were later given
the same benefit in the law enacted
just before congress adjourned. Rep
resentatives of all organizations af-
fected worked valiantly for success.
while the postal employees bill
passed both houses unanimously
without voice being raised against
it, the other bill was opposed by one
representative on the floor, but the
house passed it unanimosuly."
The councils report also records
the fact that President Hoover vetoed
the bill passed by congress providing
for increase of 500 per annum for
926 underpaid village letter carriers.

The difficulty which often confronts

by the experience of the oil embargo
