ia Columbus Trade
Unionists Enjoined

Columbus (OLNS)-I injunction no
tees restraining them from refusing
to accept material delivered to con-
struction jobs by non-union truck
drivers were served on ia Columbus
labor union officers and members last
week as open shop forces officially
declared war on organized labor in
this city.
The temporary injunction was issued
to the Anderson Haulage Co. on their
complaint against officers of the local
Building Trades Council, building
trades unions and the Truck Drivers
Union.
George A. Strain, executive secre-
tary of the local Building Trades
Council, issued statement in which
he declared that building tradesmen
would continue to exercise their con-
stitutional privilege Of working when
and with whom they wished.
"Open-shop employers in this city
have waged an undeclared war on
organized labor for years as unholy
as that now raging in China" Strain
declared. "This injunction suit brings
them out in the open, and it viii be a
fight to the fnish,' he added.
Strain also invited a probe of the
charge contained in the injunction
complaint that the unions were at
tempting to monopolize the building
industry. IAN open investigation
would prove just who is monopolizing
the industry and who is forcing the
cost Of building up and placing the
blame on labor" Strain declared.

These monopolies and near monopo-
lies complicate and make more diff
cult all other reforms. The federal
trade commission reports that the con-
centration of packing control is of
definite disadvantage to farmers. The
telephone monopoly paid 50 share
dividends throughout the depression
taking some of it out Of surplus; but
slashed its working force nearly 25
per cent. And the fact that all monop-
olies and near monopolies keep prices
almost fixed by cutting production
whenever buying slackens makes de-
pressions worse, and throws a double
burden on workers.
Decidedly. monopoly needs atten-
ton.

CONCERNING MONOPOLY

In his latest 'freside chat" Presi-
dent Roosevelt devoted only two short
paragraphs to monopolies and price
fixing. Yet next to the labor problem
and the farm problem, the need Of
eurbing or destroying monopoly is
one of the most tremendous tasks of
the time and the one at which reform
governments have had the smallest
measure of success.
The Standard Oil trust was dis
solved IN 1911, but half the oil Of the
nation still flows through Standard
Oil pipes, Two corporations control
more than half the steel manufacture
Of the United States, and three cor
porations make more than 80 per cent
of our automobiles The manufacture
Of aluminium is the almost perfect
monopoly Of one company. One cor
poration controls an overwhelming
majority Of our telephones, and three
or four brokerage firms do nearly all
our railroad financing at high profits
to themselves, however investors may
fare.

Returning to Washington, Senator
Borah declared that he believed legis-
lation to curb trusts and monopolies
would do more for agriculture than
anything else. And on the same day
that he said this:
The federal trade commission or
dered two glass associations to cease
and desist their discrimination in fa-
vor Of big customers and against
small ones. These illegal favors were
so great that the small dealer had
no chance.
An examiner for the interstate
commerce commission turned in re-
port that nine railroads hauling coal
to Lake Erie and Lake Ontario ports
are granting favors expensive to the
railroads and utterly destroying fair
competition.
Apparently, Senator Borah is on
! the right track. But he needn't think
the benefits OF stopping this dirty
work will all go to farmers. Consum-
ers of all sorts will have a share in il
and the biggest block of consumers
in these United States are the wage
earners.
