National Employment
Exchange Recommended

Washington.-In report following
a survey of European methods, Secre-
tary of Labor William N. Doak rec
ommends the placement of 80 per cent
of public works employees through
national employment exchange, the
elimination of age requirements in
finding work for the jobless, and the
protection of the unemployed against
exploitation by agencies.
The report stresses mobility of la
Dor as necessary to limit unemploy-
ment, and therefore suggests that
''any employment system must be
operated on national or federal
basis"
"The experience of ALL" the report
says, "has demonstrated most effect
lively the imperative necessity of CO.
operation with employers and the
maintenance of the strictest neutral
ity in industrial disputes, as well as
in what we term the open shop-closed
shop controversy.

Labor Denounces Steel
Wage Cut as Betrayal

United States Steel Corporation by
equal to the amount imposed by the
United States Steel Corporation will
be forced upon the employees of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation. This is
the corporation which, according to
the court records made public during
the hearing of the merger proposal
of the Youngstown Sheet and Tube
Company with the Bethlehem Steel
Corporation, paid to its corporation
officers bonuses amounting to $685.
10000 during the period between the
years 1918 and 1880. The salary and
bonus of the president of the Beth
lehem Steel Corporation averaged
$4,000 annually. Besides, the rec
ords show that this corporation de-
clared a stock dividend amounting to
200 per cent upon class B common
stock in February, 1917, and dividends
to the stockholders amounting to
$133, 100000 in the period between
1918 and 1880.
Are Tariff Beneficiaries
again, these steel corporations
which are arbitrarily reducing the
wages of their employees are the
benefciaries of very high protec-
tive tariff They are protected against
competition from abroad. The Amer
lean market for the sale of their prod
acts is their own. They are the bene-
ficiaries of these special privileges
granted by the government upon the
pretense that it must be given them
as protection to wages and wage
earners. The protective tariff is based
upon the theory that it is necessary
in order to protect the American wage
standard, American wages and the
corporations became the beneficiaries
of a high protective tariff in order to
protect wages, then it seems reason
able that since they accepted this
favor and reduced wages, the tariff
schedule should be reduced and the
special favors accorded them by the
government withdrawn 1t is unfair
to expect that the American people
will throw around these specially ia
vored industries a wall of tariff pro-
! lection when they behold these great
corporations engaged in policy of
reducing wages, forcing down the
American standard of living, COM
pelling working people to sacrifice
still further the necessaries of life.
"The United States Steel Corpora

which have announced reductions in
wages have subjected themselves to

PEQUOT SHEETS
Only Union Made Sheet In
q. S.-Buy Them

Salem, Mass. (ILNS)-Directing
attention to the low price of the we'll
known Pequot sheets, the only union
made sheet in the United States, the
1000 members of Sheeting Workers
Local Union No. 33, United Textile
Workers of America, are urging or
ganlzed labor to purchase Pequot
sheets and pillowcases. 1t is sug-
gested that now is the time to urge
purchasing agents for states and mu-
inequalities to buy Pequot products,
not only because of the quality, but
because of the price reductions.
In letter to all members of organ
lied labor, the union says:
Beginning June 1 we entered upon
four-day week for the first time in
40 years.
1--WE can understand the reason for
slackness of purchase of the better
made sheetings, but never again will
the price be as low as now.
Our concern has a high social state
of mind. 1t gives to the workers and
buyers equities in Pequot. Pequot
can continue to do these things if sold
in sufficient amounts. 1t believes in
high wages, continuous employment
and the 48-hour work week.
Can we, in view of these things,
ask you to start movement for
Pequot goods so that we may continue
with these terms of employment
What products do your municipal
and state governments use for their
institutions +? Would you mind making
inquiries and seeing that Pequot is
used?"

BUILDING
Contractors Want Unions to
Take Wage Cut

Rochester, N. Y. Roches-
ter contractors, awarded millions of
dollars worth of contracts, on which
they have figured their profits under
the present scale of wages, are seek
ing 20 per cent reduction in wages
from the building trades unions, the
Labor Herald reports. The Labor
Herald says that recently the contrac-
tors asked the building trades officials
to agree to a reduction.
Already there are millions of dol
lars worth of construction planned
for the near future, and the bids on
all this work were submitted on the
basis of the present wage scales. If
the contractors gain their point with
the Building Trades Council and bring
about reduction Of 20 per cent in
| wages it will mean just that much
more to the contractors. No one has
heard yet of the contractors offering
to submit new bids on these jobs low
ering costs because they have to re-
duce wages 20 per cent.
Estimating that about $9,00O,000
in contracts has been awarded the
Labor Herald says that approximate
| ly 40 per cent of this sum represents
wages or about $3,600,000 The La
| Dor Herald adds:
"The 20 per cents reduction in
I wages being sought by the contrac-
| tors means, therefore, that about
$4,000 will be saved by the con-
| tractors.
"This sum, $4,000, will be saved
| by the contractors and lost to the
workers if the 20 per cent reduction
| is put into effect Unless the con-
tractors intend to subtract this
amount from their bids they will be
in that much. Labor will be out that
much. The bids of the contractors
already include their profits. Now it
would seem that they are looking for
$720,000 more profits"
