TIMBER WORKERS.
Union Wins Increased
Wages

Timber and Saw Mill Workers Lo-
cal Union No 2776 of Duluth, Mimi,
affiliated with the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners, has nego-
tiated an agreement with the Mead
Timber Company settling a short
strike of the company's drive on the
Stump and Pigeon rivers. The agree
ment provides minimum scale for
the drive of go cents an hour, an eight
hour day and time and one-half for
overtime. One clause in the agree
ment provides for inspection Of the
books of the company by the Timber
Workers Union so as to protect the
men as far as seniority is concerned.
Local 2776 also reports the nego-
tiation Of an agreement stipulating
higher wages, shorter hours and inn
proved work conditions with the In
ternational Lumber Company of Du-
luth. The contract sets up mini
mum wage of so cents an hour for
an eight-hour day on the Little Fordk
drive, with time and one-half for
overtime. On the Loman Hoist the
minimum wage will be As cents an
hour for the general men who are not
to be used on the boom or water
work Union officials claim that a
few years ago, before the timber
workers were effectively organized,
the company paid SO and board for a
days work ranging anywhere from 10
to 16 hours.

SENSIBLE co OPERATION

Discussing ruthless industrial COM
petition, Business Week asks;
(Which is to the public interest to
insist upon new price wars, with low
wages, unemployment, and eventual
bankruptcy as the price to be paid in
return for, possibly, lower prices to
the consumer? Or to permit, encour-
age and supervise sensible CO.

the public approves it.

Legal Hocus-Pocus Defeats
Labor Law in Nova Scotia

Halifax, N. S. (ILNS)-Legal tai

enabling employers to defy the intent
Of the law, passed unanimously by
the Nova Scotia legislature, to pro-
tect the workers rights to organize
The Mines Basin Power and Pulp
Company discharged an employe for
union activity. Legal action against
the company was dismissed because
the union had not registered with the
provincial secretary.
Other companies have threatened
to close down if their employees form
union, their stand being that threats
against unorganized workers are not
illegal. This, at any rate, shows how
little they respect the intent Of the
law makers.

STEEL COMPANIES
AND SOME STATES
By ELIOT HARRIS

1t is doubtful if many people yet
realize the full measure of national
danger in the industrial war launched
by the steel barons. Because the COM
panies which have started this war
are smaller than United States Steel,
it is assumed that they are small in
fact. On the contrary, they are huge
corporations which, to quote the fed
eral trade commission, "in financial
strength and in numbers of persons
subject to their control exceed some
state governments"
Roughly speaking, Bethlehem Steel
employs over $4,000 men; Republic
Steel, $4,000 to $4,000; Youngstown
Sheet & Tube, 10000; Inland Steel,
about $4,000. Steelworkers have to
be husky men. Few of them are
under 20, and fewer still are over As
1t is doubtful if more than 10 per cent
of any population is fit for work in
the steel mills; certainly not more
than 1919 per cent.
In other words, assume that one
person in eight is available, for such
labor. On that basis, Bethlehem con
trolls the economic lives of $4,000
persons; Republic Of 100000; Yougs-
town of 100000, and Inland domi.
mates the lives of 100000 persons.
Now look at these figures of the
population of states, taken from the
census of 1880 but given in rounc

TWO WISE GOVERNORS

Governor Earle, Of Pennsylvania,
and Governor Davey, Of Ohio, have
acted wisely and rightly in dealing
with the situation provoked by the
steel magnates, led by Tom Girdler,
who have refused to negotiate or sign
contract with their workers They
have declared martial law in the
threatened territory but they have
also refused to let the steel mills re-
open with strikebreakers.
Twelve men have been killed in this
strike alread; and all of them by
police Of private guards doing the
work Of the steelmasters. More than
100 have been injured, many Of them
seriously; and these injuries, too,
have been inflicted on union men and
their sympathizers, male and female,
BY bullies supporting the steel
bosses. Reopening Of the closed mills
by strikebreakers would mean open
war, which would help no one but
the steel magnates who have refused
to obey the law.

Perjury Charged
To Harlan Boss

Washington, d. G. (lLNS)-Ine
District of Columbia grand jury has
returned an Indictment charging a
Harlan county mine superintendent,
Ted Creech, with committing perjury
in his testimony before the senate
civil liberties committee.
Creech was arrested April 70 by
the Washington police, after 1t had
been testified by two witnesses that
he had threatened r. G. Tackett with
physical violence. Tacket, also
Harlan county man, had told the
committee some of the shootings,
fioggings and other developments OF
Harlan county mine guards. Creech
denied the threats under oath; which
is the basis Of the prosecution for
perjury.
1t is reported that Creech is now
at large in Harlan county under a
$4,000 bond.

GOOD WORK BY ILO

The international Labor Conference
at Geneva took a long step forward
in world improvement Of the eondi-
tion of labor by approving 40hour
week convention for the textile in
dustry Despite stiff employer oppo-
sition, the convention was passed by
a vote Of So to Al TO the credit of
the employers of the United States
and France, their representatives
championed the convention. The vote
came as a victory for the United
States, which for three years fought
for the 40-hour week in the world
ed two years ago.
Another important forward step
was taken by the conference in de-
Gliding, just before adjournment, to
consider next year a blanket conven-
tion establishing the 4o-hour week in
all industry. The blanket convention,
proposed by the workers delegates Of
all nations, would mean abandoning
the present method of attempting to
conclude separate 4o-hour conventions
for each industry, the method adopt
ed tw oyears ago.
Conventions Or labor treaties
must be ratified by the various gov
ernments before becoming effective.
To date, more than 50 conventions
have been ratified.
America may be proud Of its work
and leadership in the ILO, which
Samuel Gompers helped 70 found and
which he stoutly championed to the
end Of his life.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

The Methusaleh court of the Third
Federal judicial circuit, the ages of
the three judges being espectively
70, 80 and 80 years, have condemned
the sit-down strike in the Apex hos
iery mills in Philadelphia in language
that might have been written by the
propaganda department of the Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers.
Here is sample:
Underlying this case is the ques-
ton of whether few lawless indi-
viduals, ignoring and condemning the
Wagner act and in defiance of all law
and order, and in ruthless disregard
of the right of others, should be per-
mitted, by assuming the name of a
union, to deprive all others of then
means of livelihood and compel then
to contribute of their earnings tc
self styled leaders,
Now, there are many things about
a sit-down strike which wise labor
leaders distrust. For one thing, it 81
easily gets out of hand. But there i
nothing in a sit-down strike which
compares in lawlessness and public
| damage with the tactics of some tex
tile manufacturers which so far hav
gone unwhipped of the Third circui
/ court And the court entirely ignore
the thing which lies at the bottom Q
sit-down strikes-the workers prop
erty interest in his job.
Chief Justice Hughes, in the ia
nous railway clerks case, declares
that the wage Garner has propert,
right in his representation for col
lectiye bargaining. It is only step
and not long one, from that deci
sion to one declaring that the worke
has a property right in his job-an'
the world knows that in most case
that is about the only property tha
he possess.

Nazi Germany is missing warships

But for the direct aid in men, arms

said, is the right of American eiti

tive bargaining.
Mr. Girdler posts a notice in the
Republic Steel plants, and calls that
collective bargaining.
Has Tom Girdler ever done any
thing to give labor confidence in his
good intentions, or to make the Amer
ican people believe that ne will treat
labor well, without compulsion?
Not that anybody ever heard of.
Tom Girdler's name in the steel
regions is a byword for ruthless dis
charge Of workers who have beer
worn out in the steel mills.
While he was chief bully Of Jones
& Laughlin, he made Aliquippa the
prize company town on earth; the
one most completely owned, local gov
ernment and all, by the steel com
pany.

In 1880, Girdler drew $I37, 500 sal

Steel ran $3,522 900 short of making

In 1881, Girdler's salary was raised
to S139,583; and the company's deficit
was raised to S9,034,000.
