Jackson Auto Workers
Defeat Company Union

Jackson, Mich, (AFLWNS).-Off-
cials of the United Automobile Work
ers of America, A. F. of L. affiliate,
in Jackson, are jubilant over their sue
cess in organizing the employees of the
Macklin Grinding Company. Shortly
after the new local was chartered the
shop union in the plant, known as the
company union, circulated petition
asking each worker to indicate his
grievances for presentation to the man
agement. The grievances were so num-
erous and contradictory that the man
agement could get nowhere in settling
them and the project was abandoned.
The shop union then called meet
ing in the plant Of all workers and
proposed the election Of bargaining
committee. The question was raised
whether the workers should not de-
termine for themselves if they wished
a shop union or not. The question was
put to a vote and the shop union idea
lost.
The defeat of the shop union scheme
cleared the way for the action of the
genuine union affiliated with the Au-
tomobile Workers of America, and the
workers in the newly organized local
began negotiations with the Macklin
Company for an agreement covering
wages, hours and standard union en-
ployment conditions.

man, chairman of the executive coun-
Gil of the United Textile Workers of

tion as tear gas bombs, beatings and
other acts of physical violence. These
acts are being perpetrated by deputies

the charges our members have made
are perfectly true and in no sense
exaggerated"

No Suspension Of
ITU By Federation
Morrison SoYs Board is Only
Considering Case At
Present

Fort Worth, Texas (AFLWNS).-
Frank Morrison, secretary-treasurer
of the American Federation of Labor,
said in letter to Woodruff Randolph,
secretary-treasurer Of the Internation-
al Typographical Union, in conven-
tion here, that the A. F. of L. had
not suspended the International Typo
graphical Union, as reported in press
dispatches from Atlantic City last
weekend following the adjournment
of the A. F. of l.. Executive Coun-
Gil.
The Atlantic City dispatches said
the l. T. U. had been suspended be-
cause it had refused to pay an as
sessment duly authorized by the

Morrison's letter explained that the
Executive Council had adopted res
olution to the effect that if the l. T.
U. at its coming convention, or its
executive board, failed to make pro-
vision for the payment Of the assess
ment that the Secretary-Treasurer of
the A. F. of l.. be directed to return
their next per capita tax check, and
if any check is received in the mean
time that the same be held until the

cult problem. The G.. l. O. now is a
hateful symbol to the American mind.
1t must be wiped out. Labor peace
and unity must be achieved soon in
the interests of labor and the whole
country. That can only be done by
the dissolution Of the G. |. o. and the
return of it's unions to the American
Federation Of Labor. Come on back
boys. The door is open.

British Labor Hits Plan To Make
Workers Share Compensation Risks

London, England.-Strong opposi-
tion to the proposal that workmen's
compensation risks should be shared
fifty-ffty as between workers and
employers was voiced by Sir Walter
Citrine before the Royal Commission
on Workmen's Compensation.
The fifty-fifty proposal was pre-
sented by ]. A. Lille, member of
the commission, who said he regard
ed it as equitable.
Sir Walter, who was the chief wit
ness for the Trades Union Congress-,
vigorously resisted Mr.. Lilies con-
tention. He said it was a conception
to which the labor movement would
never agree.
Mr.. Lille, who is a lecturer on
mercantile law at Edinburgh Univer-
sity, was considering the amount Of
compensation, which, under the pres
ent workmen's compensation law, in
the case of total incapacity, is a
weekly paymet of half wages, subject
to miximum of 80 shillings.
The Trades Union Congress wishes
to increase this amount.
Mr.. Lille said he supported the
fifty-fifty division in the interest of
equity between emp1oye and employer
The Daily Herald, the newspaper
spokesman Of British organized labor
published the following account of the
discussion of Mr.. Lilies fifty-ffty
proposal:
Citrine Hits "Free Agent" Theory
Sir Walter said that the question
really was, who was in the better posi-
tion to bear the loss-the employer OF
the workman. Mr. Lille was assum-
ing that the workman was free agent
Mr.. Lille: Of course he is.
"Of course he is not" Sir Walter
retorted. "He has got to earn. He
has to get a livelihood, and must get
a job. He has got to work for an EN-,
ployer. You are assuming an abstract
freedom which we never accept"
Mr.. Lille pressed his point. He sale
that the commission had had evidence
that workmen were not always aware
of their right to unemployment bene,

of partial incapacity.

Enforcement Record Is
Set By Minimum Pay
Division In August

Columbus, Ohio, (OLNS).-Efects
of the policy of strict and impartial
enforcement of mandatory orders un-
der the Ohio minimum wage law in
the laundry, dry cleaning, food and
lodging industries, instituted eight
months ago by Superintendent James
P. Walsh, Jr., of the minimum wage
division, Department of Industrial Re-
lations, is indicated by the record made
by the division during that period.
In report last week to Industrial
Relations Director George A. Strain,
Superintendent Walsh revealed that
back wages totalling $10,188.92 were
collected during August for 257 en-
ployes in 122 establishments covered
by mandatory orders under the mini
mum wage law.
The amount is the largest collected
by the division in any one month since
the law was enacted in 1888, Superin-
tendent Walsh reported, and brings
the total collections from 1888 to date
to $1O3,s4O.19.
Of that total amount, more than
half, or $39, ,249.98, has been secured
for 1,O44 underpaid women and minors
employed in 522 establishments in the
first eight months of 1899. In 1888
$38, ,296.65 in wages due 1,555 employees
in 443 establishments was collected by
the division.
A total of 1859 inspections were
made by investigators of the minimum
wage division last month, Superintend-
ent Walsh's report states. Back wages
totalling $9,649.15 were collected for
workers in the food and lodging indus
try; $314.77 in the dry cleaning indus
try, and 1925 in the laundry industry
Superintendent Walsh's report COM
pared that record with 694 investiga-
tions and 81, ,101.24 in back wages col

workman, who has to live, and the
only way he can live is by taking en-
ployment."
Master and Servant Fallacy Attacked
Mr.. Lille had throughout his ques-
tions used the phrase master and ser
vant," and Sir Walter observed that
that was an indication of his "anti-
quated" outlook.
"There is a difference" he added,
"between an employer with COM
Portable salary and a good home and a
workman driven down to thirty bob a
week."
Mr.. A. B. Cauty, member Of the
commission, put questions relating to
the T. U. C. proposal that, where earn
ings are less than G4 week, compen-
sation in case of total incapacity
should be e3 a week or full weekly
earnings, whichever is the less.
He suggested that payment of full
weekly earnings might encourage NAL
lingering.
Malingering Charge Exploded
Sir Walter said he profoundly re.
sented the suggestion. Why should full
pay lead the workman to malinger ant
not manager who continued to re
ceive full salary when sick?
ave will never accept the view that
the workman malingers more than any
other section of the community"
Mr.. Cauty said he thought any mem
Der of the community who could get
the same money for not working a;
for working would prefer not to work
Sir Walter: l think the average
healthy man wants to get back to the
job as quickly as he can.
This observation was greeted with
a chorus of Hear, hear" from mem
bers of the commission and witnesses

AppHcufions For
Old Age Pensions
Increase Greatly
Amendment To State Law Is
One Reason For HedvY
Increase
You can see for

Columbus, O., (OLNS).-Although
Ohio's aid for the aged rolls continued
to show an increase during August,
Tom McCaw, chief of the division of
aid for the aged announced last week,
a heavy influx of applications for pen
sions as a result Of the amended aid
for the aged law has maintained the
pending list at approximately $4,000.
The number of persons aided by the
states aged program last month was
increased 1874 over the previous
month, with official figures showing
that 1903 needy aged persons were
helped during August by grants total
ing $2,695,615, an average of $22.65
per recipient.
Since the first of the year, Ohio's
aid for the aged rolls have registered
a net increase of 1880 persons. Dur
ing the first seven months of 1889,
23,979 applications for pensions were
received in county Offices, compared
with 2S,793 for the entire year 1888.
The division chief attributed several
factors to the increase in applications,
one of which is amendments to the
state law which became operative Sep
tember 9th, which provides that the
state division of aid for the aged must,
upon application of a recipient, recon-
vey property which has been held in
trust by the state.
Five per cent Of the net worth of
property owned by aged aid recipients
is deducted from the annual grant to
such recipients since property is COM
puted as income in making up the in
diYidual hudgetarY needs.

Fdcing the Facts
With PHILIP PEARL

This is not Labor Day message.
1t is morning after" report. So
don't read it till after Labor Day.
We just want to make that clear
at the outset because of letter we
received this week from an esteemed
labor paper in St. Louis. The editor
asked us for Labor Day message.
Well, it was great compliment, but
we were forced to reply that, not be-
ing one of the "big shots" in the la
Dor movement, we would have to de-
cline the offer.
That, however, was not the full
reason for passing up the opportunity
so graciously provided. 1t is our con-
viction that Labor Day is not very
good reading day. 1t is a holiday. To
many people Labor Day represents the
last summer weekend at the beach. To
others it means parades, bands, cheers,
picnics, speeches, fag-waving, or any
other kind of celebration. So we
thought the situation over and decided
if we expected to get anybody to read
our stuff we had better save up our
messages until after Labor Day and
avoid lot of tough competition. Here
it is:
Lets keep our feet on the ground"
Short and sweet. Judged by Liberty
Magazines timing methods, it takes
only one-tenth of a second to read. 1t
covers lot of ground and lot of
feet. AS we look it over, we'd like
to let it stand just as it is. That would
permit our readers to fill in the blanks
and save us the trouble. But we
might supply a few hints as to how
to apply the advice.
Peace, Peace!
Let's keep our feet on the ground
with regard to what is going on in
Europe. They're in a terrible mess
over there all over again. But it's
their mess. 1t is not ours. No mat
ter what happens, even war, we must
be determined to keep out of it at
any cost. Any cost would be cheap
compared with the fearful toll our
entry into another European war
would exact from us.
Our horror of Hitler matches any
ones. The sickening spectacle of a
single bully, mad, constituencies
dictator lost to all sense of honor and
decency, plunging millions of people
into despair by constant threats of
war, makes us all feel like fighting
just to rid the world of such a men
ace to it's security. But let's keep ou1
feet on the ground. Let us remember
that the conditions which made Hit
ler's rise to power possible grew out
of the selfish and short-sighted "set-
tlement" of the last war. Let us re.
member that the last war was fought
to "save the world for democracy
See what has happened to democracy
since! Let us not be stampeded into
another war by such slogans as "save
democracy for the world" The so.
called democratic nations of Europe
brought their present troubles or
their own heads by trying to carve ur
their enemies at the close of the last
war. They are now paying for that
sin. Hitler is their baby. They have
lost many nights sleep carrying hin
up and down to keep him from
squawking. Now that these methods
of appeasement have apparently fail
ed, it is their job to make him behave
or slap him down. Go ahead and SLAP
him down if you have to, say we, but
don't ask us for help. We're out Of
it.
