produced by the workers, our industrial die
tators appropriate for themselves larger and
larger portion of the earnings of industry and
keep the workers portion, expressed in
wages, at low levels
According to the Department figures the
owners of our industrial machinery during
1896 pocketed 4,573 million dollars in divi-
dends, an increase of SO per cent over the div
idends appropriated in 1885,
But when it comes to the remuneration of
the men and women without whose mental
skill and physical strength the wheels of in
dustry would not turn and dividends would
fall to zero, the Departments figures show
that during the same year, 1886, the indus
trial magnates who passed out in dividends
to stockholders an increase of so per cent over
the 1895 record held the total income of the
workers down to an increase of only IA per
cent over 1885.
That is to say, in the division of the earn
ings Of industry, our industrial overlords
gave stockholders, who perform very little
useful work in the actual production of COM
modties and other forms of wealth. an in
crease. Of so per cent in dividends, but gave
the workers, who do practically all of the
useful work, paltry increase OF only IA per
cent in wages.
One of the major functions of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor is to organize work
ing men and women in constructive trade
unions and use this power to negotiate agree
ments with those who own and operate in
dustry and commerce carrying wage rates
that will guarantee the workers more equit-
able portion Of the national income.
The striking disparity revealed by the Com
merce Department figures between the in
creased dividends taken by stockholders and
the increased income gained by wage earn
ers in 1886 compared with 1885 gives added
emphasis to the urgent necessity of carrying
the gospel Of trade unionism to every group
of toilers-for in the last analysis the wages
of the workers, and consequently their share
of the national income, depends on their bar
gaining strength, and bargaining strength is
rooted in collective action through strong and
constructive trade unionisn

Deer Lodge ladies
Visit Butte Unions

Mrs. Fred Utzman and Mrs. Ar
thur Quist were visitors in Butte
Thursday, during which time they
paid call to the Montana Labor
News office. Mr.. Utzman and Mr..
Quist are both officers and members
of the Teamsters Union at Deer
Lodge.
The two ladies are much interest
ed in creating Ladies Auxiliary of
the Teamsters in Deer Lodge and
also forming Women's Union Label
League. There are only few I'm
ion Label Leagues in the western
part of the country. The women of
Missoula formed one through the ac-
tivity of Mrs Black and Mrs. Baron.
1t might be a good idea for the
women at Deer Lodge to communi-
cate with the women at Missoula
and get the constitution of the local
union at the Garden City. However,
both Mrs. Utzman and Mrs. Quist
were informed that it is not difficult
to form an auxiliary or league, and
that the charter for the Women's
Union Label League may be secured
from the Union Label League De-
partment at Washington, d. c., of

OPEN FORUM
JOIN YOUR CLASS

On entering the cooperative store
Saturday evening, only one customer
and one clerk were in the store.
Where is the support of the coop?
1t is this indifference to the class
struggle that puts Butte in the posi-
ton of 1921. Back even to a lower
standard of wages, according to our
devalued dollar And a greatly in
creased production.
In the early years of the crisis the
Fur Workers of New York City won
increases up to $40 per week, also
back wages up to $500. This was
possible through the understanding
of organization. The bosses had the
workers everywhere saying: "You
can't better your conditions during
a depression" New York City is
promoting the six-hour day, five
day week. A jack-hammer man
makes $44 for 80 hours, and New
York City dollar will buy twice as
much produce and as much rent as
Butte dollar.
1t is true that labor cannot get a
national hookup on the air. But
there are ways of finding out things
without radio. The Supreme Court
gave labor the right to organize. Has
forced the bosses to recognize and
to deal with organized labor. Should
the Court delegate guides to assist
labor in finding organizations?
Heaven helps those who helps him
self" is an old adage.
Morgan says: "One should not do
more than he is forced to do" Even
the present setup of protection for
the money barons, where theft is
nearly impossible, they refuse to pay
a part of the price of their protec-
ton. Is it not time that labor or
ganized enough to force these sweat
and blood suckers to pay their share?
The lack of support of labor move
ments (co-op stores, Farmers Union
oil stations, etc.,, is a sure way of
letting Morgan and the other barons
| get the profits and protection and
pay nothing.
Join your class and support its
struggles against reaction.

There are still certain economists and
journalists attached to the retinues of our
economic royalists who continue to pirate
about the benefits which the owners and
operators Of industry hand out to the millions
of working men and women who do most of
the useful work in industry.
Recent statistics on the distribution of in
come made public by the U. S. Department
of Commerce are sufficiently pointed to shoot
this theory of the equitable remuneration of
wealth producers compared with the gains
grabbed by stockholders SO full of holes that
it is little more than sieve. The statistics
show that by the use of their ownership of
Americas productive machinery, which car
ries with it the ownership of all the wealth

Responsibility, Violence-and
Democracy

Public opinion is turning against the c.
l. O." say the specialists in turning opinion
and calling it public, because Of its ire
sponsibility, violence and anti-democratic
tendencies
This has become the keynote of strike
breaking campaign directed against the steel
workers by large part of the press Of the
country The technique Of this campaign
consists in repeating and restating this as
sertion in hundreds of different ways, in edi-
torials, cartoons news stories, columns, etc.
until the self-appointed public-opinionists
can treat as accepted fact an assertion for
which no factual backing is Forthcoming.
responsibility? All the older unions that
make up the backbone of the c. l. O., the
United Mine Workers, the clothing unions
and the rest, have 100 per cent record for
regular, responsible and peaceful collective
bargaining, and for faithful observance of
contracts
The newer unions of the c. l. O.-such as
the Steel Workers Organizing Committee, in
its contracts with 100 companies employing
$4,000 workers. or the Textile Workers Or
ganizing Committee, with its 800 contracts
covering 10000 workers-have similar 100
per cent record.
c. |. 0. organization has been carried to a
successful conclusion in the great majority
of cases without strikes of any kind Where
strikes have been called, it is only because
companies have refused to grant their en-
ployees their legal collective bargaining
rights.
Violence? The record in the present steel
strike is l3 strikers and sympathizers shot in
the back or clubbed to death-and scores
more seriously injured and not single
serious injury to scabs, police or company
gunner. Who pray is responsible for this
violence-the unarmed strikers who are its
victims or the highly armed hirelings who do
the shooting and clubbing?
In other big c. l. 0. strikes there has been
little or no violence, for several reasons. In
the General Motors strike, few attacks were
launched against the strikers because they
were sitting down near valuable machinery
which might be injured. In the big Good
year strike at Akron, there was no violence
because there was an effective picket line
and no viglante attacks upon it were toler-
ated by the community.
Democracy? The c. /. 0. has brought
democratic rights to hundreds Of thousands,
now running into millions, of previously un-
organized workers 1t has broken down the
industrial despotism that denied them the
right of association and that deprived them
Of a collective voice in determining their
working conditions. 1t is making it possible
for labor to have an influence in. the country s
affairs commensurate with its numbers and
importance. This, we submit, is not dictator
ship but extension of democracy

VARIOUS CUSTOMS WHICH
WILL SIGNIFY CHRISTMAS

We do not think very often of how
people in other lands celebrate
Christmas, because it is so closely
connected with home. AlthU.gh we
don't think about these people very
often, they have many customs that
should interest us.
In India, the natives celebrate
Christmas any time from November
to the end of January. All kinds of
trees are used for Christmas trees
and the homes are gayly decorated.
Germany is the home of the true
Christmas tree. In ancient times they
brought Towering shrubs into the
house and kept them in a warm place
so that they would bloom at Christ
mas time.
In Spain, people exchange gifts on
the sixth of January. The children
make ready for the coming of the
Wise Men and put hay under their
beds for the camels.
In Africa, a beautiful oil palm with
the trunk cut off is decorated and set
up at Christmas time.
On Christmas Eve, in Iceland, all
quarrels must be settled, the home
made spotless and everything must be
mended and clean. Candles are lighted
and the doors left open so that the
