EDUCATION FOR WORKERS.

Many of the unemployed union men of Butte have
made inquiries as to the possibilities of studying Labor
problems through the various Labor schools of the coun-
try. Brookwood College offers extension courses to
workers on various topics pertaining to Labor and Labor
organization. Further information can be secured by
writing to Brookwood College, Katonah, New York. A
more radical Labor school is Commonwealth College, at
Mena, Arkansas. At this school, both faculty and schol-
ars do at least four hours Of manual labor per day in
order to earn their board at the college. The faculty
and students build their own buildings and run their own
farm. Costs at Commonwealth are very low for work
ers who are interested in becoming familiar with Labor
problems and organization. The Rand School in New
York City announces the Inauguration of correspondence
courses. This has been made possible through a gift to
the school from the Peoples Congregational church of
Ridgefield Park, New Jersey. The first course to be
offered deals with Socialism in theory and practice. Not
less than six and not more than rs constitute a class.
The classes organize in their various communities and
choose a leader, who handles all communications with
the school. Information may be secured by writing to
the Rand School at 7 East 18th Street, New York City.
Never before has the opportunity been afforded work
es to advance their knowledge at so low a cost as at
present. Intelligent union men and women should take
advantage of the present enforced retirement" to bet
ter prepare themselves for leadership among the working
classes.

THE WASHINGTON SCENE
BY LAWRENCE TODD

WASHINGTON-(FP)-As though
they had suddenly discovered that the
workers patience was wearing thin
the members of the wage-cut com
mittee Of the Association of Railway
Executives abandoned their an
nounced intention to serve formal
notice of demand for a 20 per cent
cut in all classes of rail wages, Sept.
19, and sent word to the Rail Labor
Executives Association, in session in
Washington, that the managers
would like to talk with the labor
chiefs.
In the Hamilton Hotel the labor
spokesman were gathered, debating
their policy toward the application
of 6-hour day to the industry as a
means of spreading work among
more men. Donald R. Richberg,
their counsel, was appearing before
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, following the rail managers
witnesses, on that problem. But it
was becoming apparent that the OBJ
stacles to establishing the 6-hour
day were so great that no consider
able relief from unemployment could
be expected from that quarter in the
near future. The seniority rule, I'M
der which every trainman must be
let out before any conductor is drop
ped, and every fireman must lose his
job before any locomotive engineer is
displaced because of lack of traf-
fic, remains a serious barrier to
change. So the news that the man
ayers were dropping their arbitrary
attitude and were asking for a con-
ference was most welcome.
A. F. Whitney, president of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
and chairman of the Rail Labor Elk
ecutives' Association, declined to adj
nit hat he had heard from Chair
man w. H. Thiehoff Of the man.
ayers committee. He said the labor
organizations had had no word from
the managers as to a wage cut, or
as to a conference on that subject.
Until the managers did send them
word, the labor organizations would
have nothing to say. But his man.
ner indicated a serene confidence
that the managers, in the coming
struggle, would not be able to bring
Montana labor news., 1932-09-29

against rail labor the weapons they
have used since 1920.
If it be assumed that the rail labor
chiefs appreciate the power of their
own weapons in this presidential cleo
tion year, and dare to use them,
then Whitney's confidence is justi-
fled. For rail labor has begun to
suggest that rail capital take a cut
in its earnings. The weekly news
clipsheet Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor has seconded the mo-
ton, not merely for rail capital but
for all industrial bondholders and
stockholders who now continue to
draw pay for their investments. This
idea is insidious. 1t is what the fl
nancial writers like to call bolshevis-
tic, c~onfiscatory, un-Amercan and
what-you-will. Labor, having been
pretty fully Mathematical" by the
process of dismissal or wage reduc-
ton, is beginning to call on capital
to take the same treatment. If the
rail managers appeal to the Railway
Labor Act and the U. S. Board of
Meditation and Cancellation to force
on the rail workers a wage reduc-
ton next February, the workers will
be able to keep the legal machinery
of delay running for more than a
year. During all that time they can
agitate for a cut in the pay of rail
Then there is the political situa-
ton to be considered. After March
4, the Department of Justice is hard
ly likely to have a Harry Daugherty
at its head, or a Judge Wilkerson
waiting to enjoin the rail workers
against protecting their rights. Nc

WAGES AND BUSINESS RECOVERY. e

Officials of most Of our corporations and other large
employers continue to harp on the alleged necessity OF
low wages to promote prosperity.
1t is inspiring to note the different attitude taken by
Business Week" one of the outstanding journals of
business news and Interpretation.
Business Week" holds that higher and higher wages
are not only the key to rapid business recovery, but also
the foundation on which permanent prosperity must rest.
On this point it says:
"The extent and speed of the recovery from this de-
preston will be determined mainly by the promptness
with which wages can be restored to the pre-depression
level and the degree to which they can be raised above
it thereafter. i Il Il The new industries we are dreaming
of will turn out to be bad dreams, many of our old ones
will rust away in idleness, while most of our jobless
will be permanently unemployed unless wages are
speedily restored and raised as recovery proceeds"
Business Week" admits that most business men are
skeptical about business prosperity being linked to in
creased wages but gathers a CLEAN of hope from the
occasional announcement that an employer, as business
picks up, has raised wages above the sheer subsistence
level to which they had been reduced.
This occasional employer, however, does not dominate
the situation. The low-wage employer, w~orshiping at
the shrine of subsistence pay for the workers, still rides
in the drivers seat. Here is what Business Week thinks
of him:
"On the other side it is disconcerting at this stage to
see wage negotiations still dragging out the old Punch
and Judy show of Cost of Living VS.. Wages, which
used to amuse the older generation so much.
Inspiring as it may be at the moment to see capt.
taf and labor sitting in comparatively peaceful con-
ference over these questions, and however justifiable
or necessary the readjustments at issue may be, we
cannot help feeling what a tragedy it all is, this bust
ness of turning back the hands of the clock, and doing
with infinite difficulty and complete futility what
events will inevitably undo later"
It is interesting in this connection to note that the COM
mittee Of railroad executives who are undertaking to i'm
pose lower wages on over one million workers has pub
lished statements ~justifying the proposed cut on the
ground that the railroad workers can buy their living
now for less than it cost them three years ago.
A workers wage is the price which an employer pays
his for the use of his labor power in the production of
commodities and the performance of services for the
profit of the employer. 1t has no logical relation to the
price which the worker pays for his living.
The cost-of-living wages theory embodies the principle
that a mere living is all the workers should have from
the abundance of wealth which they are capable of pro-
ducing under machine production. 1t regards the work
ers as entitled to no more pay than the slave owner ac-

more to stimulate the growth of Communism than all

Pacific.

LABOR EDITORIALS OF THE MONTH

The editor of the Montana Labor News, in reading
scores of Labor editorials each week, through our ex-
change, picks the following three as the best of the
month:
THE DREAM OF ORGANIZED LABOR-Ours is
not the cause of one class, of one sex, of one tribe,
of one city, of one state, of one continent.
1t is the wish for a better world where Man shall be
Man, where the beast man shall become subdued, where
everything shall lead to complete development, where
the good of each shall be bound up in the good of all,
where all shall feel the sorrows of each and run to
his rescue.
A glimpse of the ideal takes us into the Land of
Promise, where peace and plenty shall reign supreme,
where brothers shall no longer battle among them
selves, but for one another, where the atmosphere shall
be laden with love, the love that saves, where the
hate that kills shall be unknown, where heart and
brain shall work together to help make life better and
more complete, where the fullness Of life shall be for
all and where men and women shall be as happy at
their work as little children at their play.
The mere glimpse into that land makes life worth
living, makes work worth doing, makes dreams worth
dreaming, gives us hope and faith-the faith we need
in the labor for our cause, the faith which shall help
us win.-Organized Labor, San Francisco.
Montana labor news., 1932-09-29
LET US HAVE MORE Co-oPERATIoN-w

LET US HAVE MORE CO-OPERATION-While
organized labor seeks peace, conference, negotiations,
cooperation and ultimate happiness in the greatest
measure, a great many employers are doing their best
to make themselves enemies who must be Fought
These employers-and their financial hackers who
in many cases give their orders to the employers
follow each other with demands that wages be re-
duced.
Some are so foolish as to say that reducing wages
will restore prosperity.
Organized labor must resist wage reductions. 1t
has no choice.
Largely this depression, as far as America is con-
cerned, was caused because there was too much loot
and too little wages.
The Wage-cutterS, then, would cure bv giving more
of the medicine that made us sick.
What sublime idiocy! What putty-brained ruination!
Employers and financiers have by no means dem
onstrated the kind of wisdom that would entitle them
to say what is to be done.
Let them instead say to Labor, "Let us work to-
gether to find a solution for the days troubles"
Then the nation would get somewhere.
Let us have consultation and co-operation-not bat
tle-for Amerca's kei-Trades Unionist, Washing
ton, D. c. -
IN ORGANIZATION THERE IS HOPE-The ever
constant plea for the future of unionism throughout the
world is organization. An organization is the con-
structive, the defensive, the controlling force of the
world. Tt is the warp and the wool Of our political
and religious as well as our social and business life.
Organization is the systemization of the invisible,
yet a very material bonding cement, the greatest force
for good or evil that the world possesses.
Organization is the governments backbone of
armies, colleges, parliaments, political parties, of
churches, business enterprises Of whatever nature, So
cal and moral intercourses, as well as the humble and
palatial home.
The finer and more perfect the organization, the
more perceptibe the progress Of the inhabitants, as
the progress of the world is hitched upon organization.
If we ever attain any higher ideals, or a reasonable
compensation for labor performed, this must and only
can be accomplished by Natures memorable law, which
is to be organized.
Organization has been in a crude state, but with each
days succession it is reaching nearer and nearer the
perfect.
Let US begin now to cooperate; let us see how last
ing the results will be; let us destroy the suspicion that
you are getting the benefits and | am not. Remember
that if organization proved nothing more than the word
implies this would solve one of the greatest objects
that we, as loyal unionists, epresent.-Catering En-
