mine whether we will put the wage
into effect on mandatory basis" "
Hines added. After a mandatory or

Labor In Canada

(The following is taken from an
article published in "Labor.")
Washington, D, ca meeting OF
international significance took place
in Washington this week between
the Executive Council of the A. F. Of
L. and the chiefs of the Canadian
Trades and Labor Congress-President
Tom Moore and Secretary-T Treasurer
R. J. Talon.
One of the major questions disposed
Of was that of jurisdiction over centra
labor bodies in Canada.
Heretofore both the A. F. of l.
and the Trades and Labor Congress
had authority to issue charters tc
city and provincial central bodies il
the Dominion. That caused some
confusion and overlapping and the
1889 A. F. of L. convention en-
powered the Executive Council to enc
the dual authority.
This was done by the Council. II
voted that hereafter the Canadian
Congress will be vested with exclu-
sive power to issue such charters.
"We believe this will be for the best
interests of all concerned" explained
President William Green. eve think
our action will definitely refute false
assertions made in some quarters that
we are trying to interfere in the af-
fairs of the Canadian workers.
In this connection, Moore and Tai
lon also told of the surprising move
Of John L. Lewis United Mine
Workers in affiliating with the All
Canadian Congress Of Labor, a de-
velopment that was reported recently
in Labor.
The "All-Canadian" group has al
ways been opposed to international
unions and has sought to stir up ma
tional prejudices against such organi-
cations. 1t is headed by A. R. Mosher,
president of a rail employees union on
the Canadian National, which is dual
to the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks.
"Some other CIO locals are also af-
filiating," Moore said, "and the result
has been one of the strangest alliances
Canada has ever witnessed. On the one
hand, the 'All-Canadian' body has had
to swallow all it's old nationalistic
slogans, and the Mine Workers now
become bedfellows with their old
enemy.
"Of course, John Lewis intends to
use that medium to carry on his war
fare against the A. F. of L., but we
are prepared for any and all of his at
tacks."

Ndrning of Hillndn
Hit By Federation
Matthew VOL States CLIO.
Man Not Acceptable
To A. F. Of L.

New York City.-President Roose-
velt's appointment of Sidney Hillman,
vice chairman of the CIO, to the Ad-
visory Commission on National De-
fense to coordinate employment prob
lens, while ignoring the A. F. of L.,
was sharply condemned here by Mat
thew Woll, vice president Of the A. F.
of L.
A. F. of L. spokesmen in Washing
ton and elsewhere are known to share
VOLTS views but have not expressed
themselves publicly on the matter.
Hillman's appointment "may be ac-
ceptable to the President and the CO.
teries of pseudo-liberals and fellow
travellers in Washington" but mot to
patriotic organized workers genuinely
interested in national Defense" Woll
asserted.
"BlOw to National Defense
"The appointment by the President
of Mr.. Sidney Hillman as sole repre-
sentative of labor on the Advisory
Commission of National Defense is a
blow at national Defense" Woll said
"What the President has done is to
put the entire vast problem of employ
ment under the defense program in the
hands Of representative of minor
ity faction, riddled with Communists
and engaged in making war upon more
than 100000 members Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
"The obvious fair thing to have done
was to have both the A. F. of L. and
CIO represented on the defense COM
mission. The President might also
have appointed some one acceptable to
both the A. F. of l.. and the non-Com-
munist elements of the CIO. This man
might have come from the railway
brotherhoods.
definitely Not Acceptable"
"Patriotism requires that organized
labor give the utmost cooperation to
the national defense program. But it
certainly is not required that more
than 100000 members of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, representing
membership more than three times
that of the CIO, be subjected to the
rule of factionalist and congenial Sc
cessionist seeking the destruction of
our movement.
"Mr. Hillman may be acceptable to
the President and the coterie of pseu-
do-liberals and the fellow-travelers in
Washington, but he is definitely not
acceptable to the overwhelming ma
jority of the members Of the American
Federation of Labor"

six months was a thing of Importance
at this meeting. Next meeting night
will be election. SO please come out

and it is understood that some drastic
action is going to be taken. So my
advice to all members is, look at your
dues book every pay day, if you are
behind, get paid up and avoid the pen
atty.

Agriculture Most
Dangerous Of All
Industries In u. s.
Construction Rdnks Second
In Fetal Accidents
For 1899

Neutrality-suspicious. ID 500 workers
were killed at their jobs, 81 500 suf-
fered permanent impairments, and
nearly 1,250,0O0 were temporarily dis
abled last year, Secretary of Labor
Frances Perkins reported today.
"The outstanding industry as far as
fatalities are concerned is agriculture
with deaths estimated at 4,3OO, and in
addition, this industry had 1900 per-
manent and about 100000 temporary
disabilities" she said. "The second
largest fatality total is found in con-
struction, in which $500 employed
workers and 4O0 self-empIoyed work
ers were killed. The wholesale and re-
tail trade group ranked third, with / :
AGO deaths to workers and 400 to self
employed proprietors, or a total OF
! 300. Manufacturing and mining (and
quarrying) industries each account for
a total of 1,600 deaths; services and
miscellaneous industries for 400, rail
roads for 800, miscellaneous transpor-
tation for another 500, and public util-
tiles for 500,
"An analysis Of 1923 identical
manufacturing establishments, with
8 ga million employees working a total
Of 1884 million hours in 1899, shows
that the frequency Of disabling injuries
increased slightly in 1899 over 1898
rising from an average Of 1907 tc
1543 for every million enploye-hours
worked.
"The past experience Of number OF
industries shows that attention to ac-
cident prevention has resulted in con,
siderable, and sometimes drastic re-
ductions in the frequency of disabling
industrial injuries. The experience dur.
ing 1899, however, is proof of the fact
that much still remains to be done ir
the field of safety"
