Market Goes UP When Tide of Gold

Having agreed that gold is one Of the
most desirable things in the world, we
devote our ingenuity to trying to get it;
once it is got, we lie awake devising
means of keeping other people from tax
ing it away from us.
When a S. gold piece will buy more
potatoes or cotton or sugar or almost
anything else than it did three years ago
the gold piece is obviously more valuable
than it was. And the more valuable gold
is, and the less we have of it, the more
we seem to yearn for it and talk about
it. Hence the golden hue that has
spread over our newspapers and our
conversation
One of the best ways of holding on to
the gold you have is to let as few persons
as possible know that you have it. That
is why, when the largest single transfer
OF precious metals ever made was being
carried on in New York City last August.

HE RAISED WAGES AND BOOSTED
HIS BUSINESS.

So seldom does there come to light an employer suffi-
GENTLY progressive to raise wages as an aid to business
that when one is found it is fitting a Labor publication
should take note of it.
This is the story Of J. w. Lyerlys Garage at Atlanta,
Georgia:
The proprietor found work was about at a standstill
last spring. There was practically nothing for his me-
chanics to do. They thought they were all on the verge
of being let out.
Instead the employer called them together and mott
fled them that he was going to increase their pay.
The increase was put into effect the middle of March.
In a month the business of the garage had doubled. Now
the foreman and eight mechanics are as busy as they
were in the so-called boom period of 1929.
For the past few weeks men have been added to the
force for part-time employment.
The other day a luxurious car with a South Carolina
license tax stopped in front of the garage. is this the
Ansley ~garage?" the driver asked. Being told it was, he
said Well there's considerable work | must have done
on this car, and | wanted to go to that garage man who
had the nerve to boost the wages of his men,"
Despite this demonstration that it pays employers
to boost wages, most employers seem to think that wage
cuts are the way to improve business.
If little business men with the vision of this garage
owner were in control of industry and finance there might
be some hope for the capitalist system for a while.

LABOR AND POLITICS.

Labor showed its strength in Silver Bow county at the
primaries. Romney, endorsed only by Labor in this
county, carried the field for governor. His victory here
showed that Silver Bow county is through with Erickson,
the company puppet. Tyvand, also endorsed by Labor,
carried the county. A friend of Labor was nominated
for sheriff on the democratic ticket, and the man who
stuck by Labor during its troubles two years ago ran
away with the nomination for county attorney. Labor
also elected half its legislative ticket, and nine of those
elected signed the QUESTIONABLE of Labor, which was
indeed a victory when we consider the number in the
field and the number of personal friends the other can
didates had in Labor circles.
Labor must now go into the November elections more
solid than ever. The field is more limited and strength
can be concentrated. Labor must unite and defeat
Erickson in the finals. 1t can do SO by adopting one of
two methods. 1t may unite with the farmers of the state
and other Labor groups who supported candidates other
than Romney, and put an independent candidate is as
governor, or it can throw its strength with the republican
candidate, trusting that he will be free and impartial.
We know Ericksons stand and know that his promises
to Labor are mere tricks of politics. He has been tried
and found wanting insofar as Labor is concerned. Sill
yer Bow county does not want Erickson; Labor does not
want Erickson, and most of our farmers do not want
Erickson. Let us unite and get a peoples governor in
Helena.
Labor must also unite on a legislative ticket and put
it through, and it must also pick a railroad commissioner
who is not the instrument of the Utilities. Phone, power
and light and railroad rates are too high. We can't
get a reduction through the sheriffs office. We can only
get it through the railroad commission. Let us have a
representative of the consumer in that office. Labor
must also unite on the office of sheriff and county at
torney. A concerted effort is to be made to defeat both
Weir and F%reebOurn. These are our most effective county
offices. Labor will need friends in both. Put friends
of Labor in those offices and the welfare of the workers
will be protected and our standard of living maintained.
Labor is to be congratulated on its unanimity during a
hard-fought primary and it is hoped that it will stand
firm in the November elections.

NEW ENGLAND RELIEF COMMITTEE
BEWILDERED IN CRISIS

AMHERST, Ass-FP1-"somethn ought to be done about it."
was the answer universally received by members of the Connecticut Valley
branch of the Joint Committee on Unemployment when they asked be-
widered New England citizens how " re are to get out of the depression.
The committees survey, conducted under the general direction of Prof.
Coston E. Warne of Amherst, revealed that most people in this cross
section of industrial New England were totally lacking in a sense of the
seriousness Of the situation and of the proper ways to meet it. Thus
Northampton, Mass badly in need of a new high school and with ae-
quate credit to obtain the funds to build it, preferred to postpone the build
ing, discontinue all public works, and pay does to its unemployed wage
earners.
In Hoyoke 500 citizens were asked to state what, in their opinion, caused
unemployment. The most common reasons assigned were the following:
Lack of business, machinery prohibition, moving the mills to the south,
and lack of work. The remedies suggested were as superficial as the
diagnosis.
The committee found that Is per cent o. the families of Chcopee, Mass,
were in receipt of public o city aid. The proportion was 70 per cent in
Hoyoke, 8 per cent in Springfield, and probably 7 per cent in Northampton.
Without exception" says the repot, "these figures have in recent months
rapidly mounted IS family resources and the funds of private agencies
have approached exhaustion"
The federal employment service, evolved by Secretary of Labor Doak
to sead off the more thoroughgong plan of Senator Wagner, is not render
ing any substantial assistance in the Connecticut Valley area, the COM
mittee was informed.
The cities of Chcopee, Holyoke and Springfield had spent half or more
of the 1882 public relief budget in the first four months of the year, and
conditions were getting steadily worse.

ILLINOIS MINERS VOTE TO REJECT
DRASTIC WAGE CUT

SPRINGFIELD, ML-FP)-Despite the obvious desire of the off
ciAs of District L, United Mine Workers of America-the rebel district
Of Winois-that the rank and file accept a wage cut to SIS a day basic pay,
the miners voted, four to one, to remain out of the mines.
The 10000 coal dggers in Illinois have been out since the contract with
the Illinois Coal Operators Association expired March 81, and conditions
among them have become serious from a relief standpoint. The operators
thought that this would drive them to accept the ct of S110 a day. Union
officials felt driven to submit ONE kind of a compromise to the men be-
cause of the scales being accepted in states around Illinois, they indicated,
and because of the pressure of Gov. Louis Emerson for a settlement of
some kind.
Union officials pointed out that the scale offered was 81 a day better
than the n accepted by the committee in Indiana, SLIGO a day better than
that under which the few ire working in Ohio and Kentucky under a union
contract and from $3.50 to $3.50 a day better than U. N. W. A. contracts
call for in northern West Virginia.
But thousands of angry miners marched in a demonstration to try to
stop the referendum election and 80 per cent of the men voted to "starve
above ground rather than starve underground" as many put it, They
pointed out the few days worked each month, the fact that other states
would simply cut under Illinois again and carry on the vicious wage-sashng
circle until no miner could live. The rejected contract was to have run
one year.

ORGANIZATION IS LABOR's ONLY SAVIOR.

The principal purposes of a labor union are as they
should be-to assure to its members steady employment
at improving rates OF wages, hours of work and work.
shop conditions. The union that fails to keep these OBJ
jectves constantly in view and to achieve them as closely
as craft or occupahonal opportunities will permit, is 60
ing to seed-and the seed is barren.
Any union enterprise directed towards accomplish
ment of these primary aims is worthy of the willing, en-
ergetic cooperation, of its entire membership and may
command such assembled aid with confidence because
the success of the mutual effort is Individually enjoyed
as a gained and guaranteed tangible reward.
Union undertakings that cannot enlist united interest
and support from it's members are foredoomed, and their
attempted promotion waste it's resources and sap it's
strength.
This is the plain lesson woven into the records of
labor organization. 1t should be needed. The standards
Of wages and hours and conditions of em%ployments now

effective labor organization. This is true even in the
industrial plants that boast of being 'non-union," as the
scale OF wages and hours therein are paraded as Just
because they approximate the union standards" with
which they are invariably compared. There are no other
standards that contemporary intelligence acknowledges.
Any employer who is generally accepted as just to
his employees in the matter of wages and hours while
simultaneously denying them the rights of collective bar
gaining as members of a labor union, usually gains popu-
lar approval because it can be fairly stated that The pays
almost as good as the union scale Of wages for such
work" But it should be remembered and emphasized
that this union scale must have existed when this kind
OF employer apprOprlateS it as a measure of compensation
for his employees. Workers in the service Of such en-
ployers and in the service of others who pay NEAR union
wages depend on genuine union scales negotiated by
compact and intelligent and militant labor organizations
for the remuneration they now receive, and no happen
ing could be more disastrous to them than the destruc-
ton of labor unions within the crafts and occupations

they follow. With the disappearance of the union would
vanish the standards it had made and upheld, and an
morganized mob of workers scrambling for jobs would
soon be biting toothless on the iron law Of unrestricted
supply and limited demand.
The only guarantor of union wages and hours is the
Union. Therefore, let no one-member or non-member
attempt to divert it from its true purpose. He who
does so is r-ecreant-whether he knows it now or later
to the well-being of his fellow workers and their fam
lilies.
There is no useful fellowship loyalty outside of the
Union if you are a worker and receive your income in
wages. This conclusion is as exact as the daily observ-
able phenomena of the rising and setting of the sum-

BUILDING INDUSTRY BLACKENS
HOPE FOR EARLY END OF PANIC

NEW YORK of the blacklist clouds o. the horizon of those
who look for IN end of the business and employment crisis is the prospect
for the building industry.
Normally it is on OF the largest industries in the country and affects
an amazing number of related businesses. Because of the fact that bids are
asked well n advance of construction, later contracts are awarded, then per-
ms are issued and still later construction is carried on, the industry gives
a very important indication of the future course of business.
Figures released by the New York Building Congress show both for the
important metropolitan district and for the country as a whole just what
those prospects are. In brief, contracts awarded in the first half of 1882
are down 80 per cent in New York City, n per cent in the metropolitan
district and &c per cent for 81 eastern states. These losses are recorded from
the panic year 1881, it must be remembered.
The figures mean that the building industry will be dragging along at a
point very close to complete stagnation for the next six months to a year
They mean that building will compare with steel, which is operating at
Is per cent of capacity, or with misunderstanding, which is operating at
less than 20 per cent to mention but two of Americas once grea industries
The figures blast some decisions widely held as effectively as they do
hopes of a n upturn. Public works construction is not averting a worse
panic, a government officials would like us to believe. Public works cor
strueton for 81 states is down So per cent IS compared with the general
average drop of &c per cent. In the New Yorw area, public works con
sructon is down 70 per cent.
Nor are the public utilities rushing into the breach, a their carefully
worded publicity would have us believe. For 81 states their building
dropped 70 per cent these six months, and for the metropolitan area 86
per cent-to figures so small as to be hardly beievabe for al industry so
little affectrd by the depression as utilities. Their dividends are down
but 16 per cent in comparison.
Illinois figures o building permits tell much the same story, except
that the decreases IRE ven more severe. Permits in June were down
"a per cent from June, 1881, to a total of S1,O7s,OoO-and half of that
amount was for repairs. For Americas third state that NEAR that build
ing has practically stopped.

And didn't Charlie Dawes have to borrow 100 per
cent to cover deposits in his Chicago bank? What is
greater than 100 per cent incompetence?
Isn't the Reconstruction Finance Corporation just a
crutch for incompetent bankers?
The difference is that guaranteed deposits would help
the little fellow-and that would be terrible.
