STRIKE THREATENS
DELIVERY T|E-UP
Philadelphia Transportation
in Danger as $4,000 Men
Quit Work.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, December ga
general strike Of delivery and transpor-
tation workers gripped Philadelphia to-
day, threatening to seriously cripple
Christmas deliveries in many lines OF
business.
Leaders of nine allied unions who
called the strike last night, said the
order took 27,000 men from work i'm
mediately.
Unions participating in the strike
vote we're those of bakery drivers, piano
movers, milk drivers, cleaners and
dyers. railway express drivers, Brother
hO<0 Of Transportation Workers, team
sterS and taxi drivers.
Car Barns Picketed.
Immediately after the call was is
sued, men began picketing car barns
in efforts to influence trolley men to
join the strike.
OutgroWth of a dispute between the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co., opera
tor OF the cityS two largest taxicab
companies, and its drivers, the strike
was called in the face of a strong plea
from DR.. William M. Leiserson, execu-
tive secretary of the National Labor
Board, who asked the men not to ruin"
their cause by such drastic action.
Labor Board Ruling.
Recently the National Labor Board
ruled that the month-old taxi strike be
called off and the taxi drivers agreed,
contingent upon acceptance of the pro-
posal by the company. After a delay,

LIBERATING THE WORKERS FROM TOLL.

The editor of the Washington Post is greatly worried
over the provision in the law appropriating $500, 000,-
900 for public works that human labor instead of mach
inery shall be employed wherever practicable. Echoing
the out-of-date views of the laissez-faire economists, he
goes into ecstasies over the substitution of iron slaves for
men and women in industry and sings this theme song to
the machine:
1.-THE machine has liberated millions of human beings
from toll. Human labor is needed less and less as ma
chine production progresses. No one can ~truthfully
deny that machinery has been a great boon to the toll
es of the world, yet in a period of distress they turn
from it as the source Of their difficulties"
This rhapsody about machinery having liberated mil
lions of human beings from toll will not stand examina-
ton. In fact, the only persons who have secured free
dom from toll by the substitution of machinery for human
workers in the production and distribution of wealth are
the few who own and control the machine. So far as the
workers are concerned millions of them have lost their
Jobs because the employers can get the work done more
cheaply by machinery. A considerable portion of the
world army of 10000, 900 unemployed workers whose feet
now pound the pavements in every country looking for
employment, are jobess solely because those who own
and control industry have installed iron machines to take
their places.
Under production carried on solely for the private prof
it of those who own industry the workers receive practic-
ally no benefits from machinery and the only freedom
from toll which millions of them do receive as the result
of machine production is the freedom to live as best they
can on the starvation rations doled out to the jobless by
public and private relief organizations.

SUBTERFUGE

In signing the Presidents Unemployment Code the en-
ployers of Butte agreed to Section 8, which reads as fol-
lows:
mot to use any subterfuge to Illustrate the spirit and
intent of this greement which is-to shorten hours and
to raise wages for the shorter week to a living basis
Of all the stores and business houses displaying the
Blue Eagle only a few have shortened the work week
and maintained the long week wage for the shortened
work week. Grocers displaying the Eagle are working
their clerks "a hours, when even their special dispen-
sation calls for AZ hours. Other stores are working clerks
AZ hours when the code calls for a 40-hour week. En-
ployers using mechanics and artisans are working their
employees 48 hours when the code calls for a 35-hr. week.
Yet they display the Blue Eagle. These employers hide be-
hind an Interpretation rendered for their benefit, in
Washington, which states that if they have contracts with
unions they can abide by the contract instead of living
up to the spirit of the code. To the editor, this is a mere
subterfuge to escape the responsibility of aiding in this
endeavor to seek a way out of the mess in which we find
ourselves. There isn't a union man or woman who balks.
at a IS or 40-horT week, without pay reduction for most
of the unions are asking for a 30-hour week in their codes.
The buck cannot honestly be passed to the workers for
the employers have not asked the workers to aide, ex-
cept spend their money in places displaying the Blue
Eagle. The stores who did abide by the code and have
reduced hours of labor and not reduced pay had no diff
ficulty in securing the cooperation of their employees.
In most instances the Blue Eagle has meant only an in
crease in commodity costs. The government should de-
sign a black buzzard for those places of business who sign
the agreement and refuse to shorten hours or increase
wages, and who even, as has been reported at the Council,
mum wage rather than raise wages to the starvation
minimum allowed.
But let them go. Employers of the u. S. A. can abide
by the spirit of the code or within the next few years they
will be joining insult in Greece, happy to have escaped
their r~etribution with a whole skin.

machinery used by the owners of our railways to elimin-
ate thousands OF railway employees and tells what the
railroad owners have accomplished in reducing the bur
den on labor" performed by section gangs in keeping the
tracks free of weeds. The article states:
wedding was formerly a hand operation, slow and
expensive, which required from 300 to 800 man-hours
a mile and cost from $50 to 5000. Today through the
perfection of suitable equipment, the same track can
be cleared of weeds in two or three hours by means of
chemical applications or burning for as little as $3.50
to $40 a mile"
This same sort of leasing the burden of labor has
been applied with such revolutionary thoroughness in
other work like rail laying and ballast cleaning that "the
section gang is being gradually reduced to a policing
The author of the article grows grandiloquent over his
theme that this labor-displacing machinery was designed
primarily ito reduce the burden on labor" but finally let's
the real cat out of the bag. He says:
From an economic standpoint, few
such machines can survive unless they are able to DEM
onstrate savings of sufficient magnitude to pay a sat
isfactory profit on the investment they represent"
There you have it. Those who own and control the
railway industry and every other industry substitute "la-
bor-saving" machinery for working men and women, not
from any a~ltruistic desire to lease the burden on labor"
but solely because the dollars and cents cost of the work
done by the machines is less than the cost of the same
work done by men and women. The owners of industry
by the introduction Of machinery "save" themselves the
cost OF human labor and swell the size of their dividends,
while the workers whose labor has been saved" are
thrown into the army of the unemployed and live on a
Transformation basis.

EASING LABoR BURDEN BY MACHINERY

Of course tt S an axiom that those who own and control
industry do not install machinery for the benefit Of the
make more profit out of them than they can by employ
ing men and women.
Nevertheless industrial engineers and machine-mad
employers continue to harp about the consideration for
the workers which animates them when they introduce
'labor-saving" machinery in wholesale amounts in order,
they say, to relieve" working men and women from the
arduous toll of hand production. But if one reads far
enough one will usually find that this professed altruism
is submerged by the profit motive swinging into the pic
ture.
This is illustrated by a recent article in the Railway
Age which carries the suggestive title, Easing the Bur-
den of Labor" The article describes various forms of
