TWO ASSESSMENTS IMPOSED
ON UMWA MEMBERSHIP

Washington, d. c. QLNS).-The
United Mine Workers of America
(CIO) announces it's executive board
had levied two 81 special assessments
on its membership. The assessments
are expected to yield approximately
$S00,000.
SecretaryTreasurer Thomas Ken
nedy said the bituminous miners would
be assessed in December and Janu-,
ary, and anthracite workers would be
assessed in January and February.
The union indicated that some of
the $S0O,0C0 anticipated yield may be
used for political efforts in the 1910
campaign.
"The year 1910 will be crucial for
labor, not only in economic matters,
but also with respect to social Sc
curity and labor legislation" the
UMWA announcement said. at is now
evident that the ground work is being
laid for repressive, anti-labor, anti
social legislation. Our organization
must be in a position to meet every
issue and to challenge every adver-
sary."

n. Y. MATTRESSES FOUND
RECEIVING PAY LOWER
THAN RELIEF STANDARDS

New York City ILNS).-Average
weekly earnings of women in the res
taurant industry in New York City
are lower than the relief standards
set by the Department of Welfare and
other relief agencies for subsistence
budgets, according to a study of wages
in this industry throughout the state
which Miss Frieda S. Miller, Industrial
Commissioner, presented to the Mini
mum Wage Board for the restaurant
industry, convened under the State
Minimum Wage Law.
The Charity Organization Society's
standard is $3.73 more a week than
the report showed the average res
taurant worker to have earned. Even
resses received enough to bring the
standard up to the relief basis. Their
median annual earnings were found
to be just half of the sum required for
adequate maintenance as determined
by the Department of Labor in its re-
cent cost of living study which sets
81 ,059.6S for a woman living with her
family and $1,16075 if living alone.
The full report of the study of wage
and other working conditions of wom-
en- and minors in the restaurant in
dustry was turned over to the New
York Restaurant Minimum Wage
Board.
The law requires women and minors
employed in any occupation to be paid
wages sufficient to provide adequate
maintenance and to protect their
health. The investigation proved that
a substantial number of workers were
receiving insufficient wages to meet
these requirements.
Facts revealed by the investigation,
State Labor Department officials said,
show the need for better labor stand
ards for women workers, as urged by
the Women's Bureau, L. S, Depart
ment of Labor

TRIBUTE TO A. F. OF l.. ACCOUNTING
SYSTEM

UNQUALIFIED commentator of the account
- ing system applied by the American Fedora
tion of Labor under the direction of Secretary
Treasurer Frank Morrison, featured the report Of
the Auditing Committee to the annual convention
of the Federation in Cincinnati Ohio.
In this connection it should be recalled that
the fiscal year which the Auditing Committees
report covered began on August 81, 1888, when
the Federation had balance on hand of $443,-
63119. During the fiscal year the receipts totaled
$1,8OO,2497O, making grand total of $2,243,-
88O.89. The expenses totaled 81 ,6973 1858, with
the balance on hand August 81, 1889 totaling
$54654O.36.
The Auditing Committee consisted Of James
w. Close, chairman; c. B. Noxon, secretary; and
Frank HASTEN
In their report to the convention, the Audit
ing Committee said:
eve have examined and audited all the books
and records of the American Federation of Labor
covering ali of the financial transactions for the
period beginning September l, 1888, and ending
August 81. 1889.
''We are pleased to report that all books and
records were found correct in every respect. We
have personally counted the securities recorded on
the books OF Secretary Treasurer Morrison as be-
ing owned by the American Federation of Labor,
and found them correct as recorded. We are list
ing below these securities. We have verified the
cash balances on hand through the medium of let
ters written by the banks where funds are on de-
poSit These letters certify as to the amount on
deposit to the credit of the American Federation
of Labor at the close OF business August 81,
1889"
After including the total receipts and the total
expenses of the A. +. of L. under each classifica-
ton for the year the committee declared:
'We wish to advise that we made careful
study of the bookkeeping system employed by the
American Federation of Labor, and are favorably
impressed with the manner in which transactions
are recorded The system is well adapted to the
purpose for which it is intended.
FINALLY, we wish to express our appreciation
TO Secretary Morrison and his assistants for the
cooperation extended to us in the performance OF
our work"

IMPORTANCE OF DEFEATING ANTILABOR
IEGISI AIION

vINHE paramount necessity of mobilizing the in
fuence of the American Federation of Labor
to prevent anti-labor groups from pushing through
Congress- legislation hostile to the interests OF
working men and women emphasized by the
recent annual convention of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor at Cincinnati, Ohio.
The matter definitely presented to the
delegates in the report of the Committee on Leg
islation which directed attention to the Executive
Councils report listing eighteen measures favor
able TO labor enacted by the first session of the
seventy-SiXth Congress which adjourned last
August and three measures that were defeated as
the direct result Of the opposition Of the American
Federation Of Labor to their enactment
The committee report, which the convention
adopted, called attention to the fact that the de-
feat Of adverse legislation is just important,
and sometimes much more important than the
enactment OF desired measures. The failure to
secure desired legislation often means its delay
for session or perhaps several sessions of Con
gress, whereas, the enactment of vicious legiSla-
ton may mean the loss for many years, if not
permanently, concessions gained at great sacrifices
by our movement.
"For this reason, too much emphasis cannot
be placed upon the necessity for thorough militant
organization and perpetual viligance for the pro
tecton Of the workers"

FREE--BUT NOT CLEARED

Nearly 10 months after Tom
Moneys pardon majority of the
California Supreme Court has con-
sented to let Gov. Olson commute the
life sentence of Warren X. Billings.
Welcoming this belated action, we re-
gret that the court did not recon-
mend an unconditional pardon for Bill
lings. If Mooney is innocent of the
San Francisco parade bombing, and
of that we have long been convinced,
so is Billings. They were convicted
by the same testimony, since exposed
as sordid perjury. Both are equally
entitled to have their records cleared
of that charge.-Washington Daily

T'IlE story Of the German U-boat that landed the

Can it be that the gallant U-boat captains are
playing the age-old game of making war seem at

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hutchet Out
The Truth
q NEW A. +. OF l.. DRIVE
@ SERVICE FOR EVERYONE
G ORGANIZE NOT MOBILIZE
. TRADE UNION EDUCATION

The big new organization drive OF
the American Federation of Labor
gives every union member opportunl-
! ties for service.
More than 500 local committees have
been named by the A. F. of l.. central
bodies to cooperate in the drive.
This means the campaign will be
waged in all industrial communities of
the nation.
The object, President William Green
emphasizes, is to ORGANIZE, not
simply to mobilize.
There's a difference, which even
some union members don't always rec
ognize.
Men and women can often be lined
up in organization, by high powered
emotional appeals.
But if they are really ORGANIZED,
they go into union knowing some
thing of the history, aims, duties and
responsibilities of labor organizations.
They go in to stay, not to drop out
after a few months.
X X X
Real organization means trade un-
ion education.
"Our method" President VIM. Green
says, "is to convince the unorganized
workers that unionization and collec-
tive bargaining can bring great bene-
fits"
Which means the unorganiZed must
be shown what unions have done in
the past and what they are doing now
to benefit the workers..
owe will tell the workers the facts"
President Green further says. "But we
will refrain from sensationalism and
ballyhoo."
Campaigns of education-thoroug
education-are not as easy as sensa-
tionalism and ballyhoo.
They are not as exciting, either.
But they are the things that bring
lasting results.
Campaigns Of education provide op-
portunities for all. Every union man
and woman fits in.
Lots of union members can't make
inspiring speeches, or even speeches
of any kind. Lots can't write inspiring
appeals for labor to organize.
Every trade unionist, however, can
talk unionisn at favorable times. He
can point out the benefits of organiza-
tion and tell of labor union principles
and bjectives-objectives which bring
better and happier life for wage
earners and the nation as whole.
Every trade unionist can push his
local labor paper and circulate trade
union literature.
He can "buy union label" and urge
his friends to do the same.
In short, he can do the kind of work
that builds solid and lasting labor or
ganizations.
In announcing the campaign, Presi-
dent Green said the A. F. of l.. rejects
sit-down and showdown strikes.
"We believe" he explained, "such
organizing methods hurt the workers
instead of helping them"
Experience of the past has proved
the A. f. of L. opposition to sit-down
strikes is well justified. Where tried,
they have always rebounded against
the workers.
Showdown, now being used by CIO
WOIhSIS III Illc bGlIOlC area, are
doomed to have the same result They
are already bringing wave of public
resentment, which promises no good
for union labor.
Sit-downs and slow downs are weap-
ons of the impatient, who can't build
on permanent foundations. These
"new' methods, which are not new at
all, some times bring temporary gains
but in the long run more is lost than
is won by them.

. COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

To say that the war in Europe will
end speedily by international combus-
ton in Germany is mere poppycock
without substantial evidence that there
is within the German people the will
and the power to perform the neces-
sary blotto of its present gangster Of
| fcialdom
| The Munich beer hall bombing does
not directly come under the head of
such evidence. 1t does indicate, how
ever, that the German people are in
need of supercolossal razzle-dazzle to
convince them that the war must be
carried on at any cost. File the beer
hall bombing with the Reichstag fire.
The crescendo of the bombing was
classic period to Adolf Hitler's blood
and IRON TRADE. The timing was off
bit, but that does not disturb the
value of the whole. If this does not
have the desired effect, what will be
Hitler's next super-supercolossal pro-
duction to rouse the rabble? 1t would
be interesting to know if he has given
any serious thought to ringing down
| the curtain with a fanfare of hari-
kari.

Workers in European nations are
confronted with problems that Amer
ican workers know nothing of. One is
the matter of time lost during air
raids.
British labor is working on the prob
lem and the General Council of the
Trades Union Congress has taken up
with the Government the question of
payment for working time lost as a
result of air raids or air raid warn
ings In some cases unions have been
able to secure a satisfactory agree
ment on the question in negotiation
with employers.
The council also took up with the
railway executives the extension OF
time within which workmen's tickets
will remain available in the event of
air raids or air raid warnings inter
fering with the normal arrangement
1t has been agreed that the time with
in which persons will be allowed to
take their places in line at railway
and tube stations for workmen's tick
cts shall be extended to 80 minutes
from the "All Clear" signal, and this
arrangement may be modified, in eX-
ceptional circumstances.
Contact has been made with the Reg
istrar of Friendly Societies on a pro-
posal for legislation similar to that
adopted during the last war, giving
permission for the suspension Of rules
in regard to statutory meetings OF
trade unions and other bodies. 1t il
hoped that provision will be made al
so in regard to the taking of ballots
publication of branch accounts, and
other matters laid down in trade union
rules which are difficult to operate
under present circumstances.
