DEPARTMENT STORE
SUES CLERKS UNION

Oakland, Cal. (ILNS). White
horne and Swan, department store,
has filed suit for $4,000 damages
against officials of the Retail Clerks
Union and other labor leaders and
asked for an injunction to restrain
picketing.
The petition for an injunction, filed
by Attorney j. Paul st. Sure, alleges
that a union "closed shop" contract is
illegal, and asserted that the state
labor code makes the closed shop
against public policy
st. Sure based his argument on the
clause outlawing the yellow Dog,
contract as opposed to public policy.
The yellow Dog" contract was ex-
planned as one by which an employer
binds his employees not to join a union
Consequently, st. Sure maintained, the
provision would prohibit an employer
from compelling his employees to join
union with which he had made 4
CLOSED shop" agreement.
The suit sets forth that the store
refused the union shop, believing it to
be unlawful, and that A. f. of L. off

Everything comes to him who waits.
But labor is getting a little tired watt
ing for little business to snap out Of
its trance.
Here are the business men who de-
pend upon the poeketbooll capacity of
the workers for their potential profits,
if not for their very existence.
But you find them too often running
with the bankers and big employers.

which is, that people who have no
money cannot buy anything CT IS al

Teachers Urged To
Back Labor Press

Chicago (ILNS) Hearty support
Of the labor press was urged by irwin
r. Kuenzli, secretary-treasurer OF the
American Federation of Teachers, in
his report to the annual convention OF
the federation held recently at Cedar
Point, O. He praised the cooperation
of the labor press with the federation
and said:
"a number of papers with state
wide circulation or even larger have
given front page stories to the A. +. /.
and generous space has been given to
publicity for our international union.
| wish at this time to express my ap-
probation to the labor press of Amer
lea and to urge all local unions to sup
port the labor press in SO far as 1T IS
possible by subscribing for local pub
lications.
Last October / attended a meeting
Of the International Labor Press OF
America at Denver, and was impressed
with two things: Cd the Importance
Of the labor press to the labor move
ment, and (2) the great difficulties
which the labor press is experiencing
because of adverse business conditions
during the depression and because of
difficulties arising from the split in
the labor union. While it is probably
impossible to secure large numbers of
subscriptions in locals, few subscrip
tions purchased from the genera
treasury Of locals viii help to give sup
port to a valuable auxiliary Of the Ia
bor movement"

New Jersey has had minimum
wage law for women for five years;
but it is not enforced. Appropriations

It Is quite evident that New jerseys

those Of many other states, need the

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

distributing milk to nearly 10000
children.
Delegates received an illustrated re-
port prepared by the international
Federation of Trade Unions and the
Labor and Socialist International Civ
ing complete details of the fund since
the outbreak of hostilities.
Another international matter which
is likely to arouse considerable interest
is the rejection of the proposals of the
Russian trade union movement for af-
filiation to the [. F. 7. u. The pros
and cons of this matter were given
in detail.
Assistance has continued to be given
to German and Austrian refugees, the
report pointed out. In addition to the
granting of weekly allowances, assist
ance has been given in the way of
helping to secure the extension of per-
mits, the securing of accommodation
and advice regarding legal status, and
other matters.
Detailed attention was given te
problems Of organization, with par
ticular reference to those of the "dis-
tressed areas" youth, domestic work
ers, hotel and catering stats and
nurses. Evidence on nursing condi-
tions has been submitted to the Inter.
| Departmental Committee appointed By
the government, and trade union re
cruitment in this profession has pro
ceeded by leaps and bounds, the re
port said.
Sixteen new trades councils hav,
been formed in the past year and tw'

the rut.
You see things a bit Clearer when
you shift back into gear.
Summers over, fall begins.
Perhaps tempers will improve with
the passing Of the hot months.
Tempers here and abroad can stand

Calmness, good nature, an end to
name-calling, seem the need of the
hour, domestically and internationally.
Many leaders have been acting a
good deal like children.
Name-calling is characteristic of the
childish mind.
Some day the name-calling will seem
pretty. silly After all, an epithet is
never an argument.
Internal warfare weakens labor and
tends to arouse public anger.
1t makes for a state of the public
mind that will approve repressive leg
islation and vigilante action.
In plain words, internal warfare is
playing with fire. Great numbers of
organized workers realize this but
some do not, unfortunately.

sometimes recklessly.

Something gave ali the big buildings

and the only living thing we have left
on earth that was ever connected with
Babylon is the Hebrew race.
Babylonians kept their records on

Those bricks are the most perma-

today.
But the Hebrews seem to be even
more enduring than the Babylonian

Then suppose that the Japitaler-
mans turn such a ray on North
America.
There would be quite large crash,
and only the non-ferrous metals would
be available for human use at least
for a while.
OF course, somebody would sooner
or later turn the same ray on the Ger

see what would come out of the diff

America has some 1874 tons of gold,

It wouldn't go very far for building
purposes.
But you might make some very
beautiful clothes with it.
That is somewhere over half Of the
visible gold supply of the world.
How fortunate that we don't have
to depend upon gold for something
really important.
Now that it has been proven that il
was not really important as a circulat-
ing medium, or as measure of value,
or as means Of exchange perhaps
we can begin to find out something
really useful to do with this large COB
of yellow metal. Of course, it is
pretty, properly shaped and polished.

But copper is just about as pretty,
and there is lots more Of it.
Trouble with copper, it perishes;
gold does not rust. If gold were sub
ject to the same rate of deterioration
as other metals, there would be mighty
little Of it in the world. But we
wouldn't miss it much Magnesium is
much more important, and SO is man

there may be, some day.

British labor, like that of most
democratic nations, is on the march.
This was made plain in the annual re-
port of the General Council of the
British Trades Union Congress, sub
mitted to this years congress at Black
pool. Meetings of the congress, like
those of American Federation of La
Dor conventions, are of international
interest.
Delegates were told that in world
torn by internal dissensions, wars and
relationships, the British trade union
movement has materially increased its
membership and extended its influence.
Last years congress was informed
that the total membership was just
over 100000, an increase of 394 900
over that of the previous year. The
Blaekpool congress represented nearly
100000, and as these figures are
based on returns to the end of 1887,
it is fair to assume that the British
trade union movement at the present
time has not far short of 100000
adherents. This is heartening news,
