dents determination to get more for
the underprivileged third of the pop
ulation.
Fascism thrives best in countries
experiencing hard going. If the
President really harbors any fas-
cist ideas, there again, prosperity
is DIGGING his heels.

All rode in enclosed cars except
Governor Earle who rode in an open
car with head bare. We would find
no one who saw him wave his topper
Michigan's offering for the Demo-
cratic Presidential nomination in
1910, Governor Murphy, had less
joyous time.
Far more troubled with his auto
mobile strike than was Governor
Earle by his coal ''bootleggers,
Murphy spent most of the day in
futile negotiation.

BIG MIDWEST
Industries Announce Wage
Increases

Chicago (ILNS) Big business in
the Middle West is falling into line
in the matter of wage increases, and
hoping and privately admitting that
this will help to stave off drives to
unionize its workers.
The Big Four packers-Swift, Ar
mour Cudahy and Wilson-have
raised the basic wage scale cents an
hour. Piece rates have been raised an
equivalent amount; and the average
boost is reported to be about 13 per
cent. 1t is claimed that 100000 per-
sons will share in this increase, and
that it will add $22,000000 a year to
the nations annual payroll.
Some smaller but important inde-
pendent packers, such as George A.
Horned & Co., of Austin, Minnesota,
and Morrell & Co., of Sioux Falls,
South Dakota, have joined in the rise.
This increase is the second in the
packing industry in four months, and
the fifth since the low-water mark
was reached in 1882.
The International Harvester Co. has
announced wage increases which will
mean $5,5Oo,O00 year increase, ac-
cording to the company figuring.
They put into effect an increase of 5
cautc an bn,,, ~, Noyaf,, har 20 1929
The present raise is largest in the
principal plants.
All the packing arrangements were
made with the company unions, and
there is nothing to show that the In
ternational Harvester consulted even
them.

CANADIAN
Government Intervenes In
Rail Pay Dispute

Ottawa (ILNS)--As predicted, the
Canadian government has intervened
in the dispute between the railway
companies and their workers over the
restoration of the 10 per cent deduc-
tin from the basic wage Samuel J.
Hungerford and Sir Edward Beatty,
respectively presidents of the Canad-
ian National and Canadian Pacific
railways, were called to Ottawa to
confer with Transport Minister Howe,
Labor Minister Rogers, and the act
ing prime minister.
The position taken by the federal
at these conferences is a
guarded secret. But it is known the
government is deeply disturbed by re-
ports that the railway workers are
voting practically 100 per cent in
favor Of strike, if necessary, to re
store the 10 per cent wage deduction,
fearing that railway strike would
start other strikes by workers whose
wages have been struck down to dis
graceful levels.
There are two special reasons why
Canadian railway workers are sore;
American railways operating branch
lines in Canada pay American wages
on their Canadian lines; Canadian
railways operating branch lines in the
United States pay American wages
on their Canadian lines; Canadian
railways operating branch lines in the
United States pay American wages on
such lines.

Witnesses Describe Attacks on Rubber Workers
Organizers, Following Records Read Before
LaFollette Committee Showing How Goodyear
Company Officials Praised Good Work.

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-The
Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company
plan of industrial relations as exem-
plifed at Gadsden, Alabama, by armed
mobs beating up single defenseless
man in the willing presence of the
sheriff, was set before the senate civil
liberties committee with dramatic
skill.
Senator LaFollette's handling of the
case was mastery. He put a bunch of
Goodyear officials on the stand, exam
ined them on their labor policies, and
read into the records letters from Vice
President Clifton Slusser and other
officials, praising the splendid work"
done at Gadsden The next day he
called two union men, workers in the
Goodyear plant at Akron; c. D. Leslie
and VIM. II. Ricketts,, who told how
the company trained 400 men in mill
tary maneuvers getting ready for an
expected strike in 1885. They were
armed with gas guns and blackjacks,
taught to use a wedge formation SO
that a gas attack on crowd could
be protected till the crowd was help
less. The training was done by an Off
Ger of the Ohio National Guard, and
300 of the trained men were sworn

Ricketts, told Slusser threatened to
move the plant to Gadsden; and Rick

den as an organizer. Slusser offered
to bet 500 that if Ricketts, got off the
train at Gadsden, he would come back
on a stretcher.

Then President John H. Dalrymple,
of the United Rubber Workers of
America came on, soft-voiced, mild
faced, and yet somehow showing a
touch of obstinacy. He told how he
went from Akron to Gadsden in June,
1886, to help the local in trying to get
some discharged men taken back. He
found the president of the local union
in jail, and asked the sheriff why.
"That's why" said the shefiff,
throwing at Dalrymple two copies of
the United Rubber Workers, the union
lpaper eve won't have such literature
distributed here. Pm not going to lose
my vacation this year! ! lost it last
year from labor troubles"
Dalrymple Swallowed
Il told him. said Dalrymple, "that
i had come to prevent trouble by
seeking justice for the workers who
had been discharged; and as for the
paper, it was going through the United
States mails without objection from
anyone. He insisted it could not be
distributed there"
A meeting was called for June 6, in
I the evening at the courthouse.
Il was shadowed all the time" said
lDalrymple. There were about SO in
the hall when / got there, and 25 or
l30 came in right after. A lot of them
were company officials, members of the

the steel plant. Someone asked me
who in hell told you to come here p
i replied that came at the call of
Local No II; and that didn't think
lit was dangerous.
"Then the eggs began to fly"
Denied Police Protection
He had noticed some men go out
before, and come back with small
sacks in their hands. These were the
eggs. The police came in, paying no
attention to the egg throwers but
searching the union men for arms
They swarmed around Dalrymple.
Somebody pulled my glasses off, :
said Dalrymple. "They dropped to the
floor, and when | stopped for them
someone hit me in the jaw. The sher-
liff said, You come with me-. He took
me out, men hitting me on the way
and all the sheriff said to them was

Upon information that she was un-

washington, ~. y. (ILN AN
epoch marking event in labor history
has been announced by George M.
Harrison, chairman Of the Railway
Labor Executives Association, and j.
j. Pelley, president of the Association
of American Railroads. They issued
joint statement of which the following
is a part:
"After joint negotiations between
representatives of the 21 standard
railroad labor unions and railway
managements, complete agreement
has been reached in respect to a re-
tirenlent plan for employees.
Before the plan becomes effective,
however, it will be necessary for con-
gress to pass two acts, one amending
the present railroad retirement act
and the other, a substitute for the
railway tax act which was to have
expired on February %, last but was
extended recently until the end of the
fiscal year 1888.
Summary of Plan
''The principal points in the plan
follow:
81. Provides for total tax of five
per cent of the payroll, not in excess
of $500 for any one month for any
employe, to be paid into the United
States treasury. This tax increases
gradually, to maximum of seven
cent after twelve years. One-half of
the tax will be paid by the railroads
and the other half by the employees.
The rate in the existing railway tax
act was seven per cent, equally
divided
-. All annuities are to be paid out
out of the United States treasury.
"3. Plan is to be administered by
the Railroad Retirement Board as now
provided.
a. Method of computing amount of
annuity to be paid retired employees
is the same under the plan as now
Incorporated in the railroad retirement
act.
80. An employe IS eligible to retire
voluntarily upon attaining the age of
SIS years, but may retire at 60 years
of age after completing 30 years Of
service with a reduction in the annu
ity at the rate of one-ffteenth for
each year he is under 65.
Other Provisions
&c. An employe can continue to
work after attaining 65 years of age
but must continue to pay the tax, all
though he will not be credited with any
service earned by such employment
after July /, 1887
~. Plan permits retirement of en-
ployes because of physical or mental
disability after 80 years of service,
with full annuity privileges.
IS. Present pension rolls of the
railroads are taken over under the
plan.
80. No annuity will be paid to any
employe who retires and engages in
regular gainful employment in some
other line of work.
40. Provides for death benefits
for a deceased employees estate.
IL. The plan affects approximately
100000 employees Of railroads, ex-
press companies, sleeping car COM
panies, and their subsidiaries. En-
ployes of railroad associations, and of
railroad labor organizations, are also
included"
How Amounts Are Set

mined by multiplying the years of
service by the monthly pay, up to a
minimum of $500 This percentage is:
2 per cent of the first $50 of monthly
pay;
11a per cent on the next 500;
per cent on all sums from $3.50
to $500.
This is identical with the present
law.
The plan provides for a joint and
survivor pension, under which the en-
ploye, if he SO chooses, will be paid
a part of his normal annuity when he
retires, and the balance will be used
to buy an annuity for his wife, if she
survives him.

 Benefic aspects dominate today, according to astrology. The week should begin with well directed eff forts toward assuring the right start for the new year.
 The stars seem to foreshadow tre- mendous projects on the part of courageous business men and manu facturers who will take big risks in a changing world of commerce
 Again good luck attends those who exercise power in any form. The President of the United States should benefit through the nations need of brave leadership.
 Reactionary sentiment favorable to capitalists and heads of govern ment who have been misjudged is prognosticated. This is day aus picious for soliciting aid and CO., operation in matters of public need.
 Contrasts and agreements signed under this rule of the stars should be most fortunate. It is lucky for international pacts.
 Although the holidays will furnish many temptations to neglect busi- ness and professional matters, warn ing is given that 1898 will demand the greatest resourcefulness and general ability.
 Speculation along many lines will be tempting through 1888. There will be many gyrations on the stock CACIldIlgt anu IiuiilClOuo 4luSOuo- tions in the value of staples.
 Gold again is to be of supreme concern since financial earthquakes are prognosticated for several cap itals of Europe.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of keen interest For many there may be long journeys that bring profit. Children born on this day prob- ably will be clever and far-seeing Many successful leaders belong to this sign.
 Nicholas J. Roosevelt, inventor, was born on this day 1767. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include John Repler, astrono- mer, 1871; Thomas Edward Green author and lecturer, 1857.
