UphOIsterers Local Sues
For $4,000 Back Pay

Portland, Ore. (ILNS). - Suite for
$4,000 plus attorney fees, has been
filed by Local Union 65, Upholsterers'
international Union, against the Ore
gon Casket Co., the Great Northern
Casket CO., and the Portland Casket
Co. The amount sought represents
back pay of 20-cent hourly increase.
When casket workers in Tacoma
went on strike for higher wages in
June, 1912, Portland casket workers
remained at work under an agreement
with the defendant companies that "if
a higher wage scale is granted any
where else in the Northeast, that
wage rate will be paid by the Portland
companies retroactive to June l.,
1912"
Investigation by Local 65 represen-
tatives Ralph Farrier and Floyd Soles
disclosed Tacoma casket companies
were paying, with the approval of the
War Labor Board, 20 cents an hour
above the Portland scale.
The suit was filed following the re-
fusal of the Portland companies to
carry out the terms of the agreement
under which a strike was averted in
1912.

Jdpdn's First Free Labor
Federation To Be Set Up

anese Trade Unions, conservative
group, and the progressive Japanese
Workers Conference. Government en-
ployes were organized into the gov
ernment-sponsored League of Govern
ment Workers.
After 1893, under constant police
pressure, free unions, gradually dis
solved. In their place the government
organized the Industrial National Ser
vice Association. Since membership
was compulsory, the association num-
bered more than three million. It's sole
aim was to raise production in war
plants.
Leader Of the new free federation
will probably be Kumakichi Matsuoka,
former lathe worker who in 1915 or
ganized the first Japanese factory
workers union, AIN reported. Other
veteran labor leaders present at the
Oct 2 meeting were Suehiro Nishio

ers; Chozabro Mizutani and Hideo

wage bill which ends the Fair Labor
Standards Act to cover messengers

that the wage not apply to such work
ers employed principally in the pick
up and delivery of kilograms and let
ters.
The 1888 act permits the employer
to set any wage he might prescribe
lower than the general minimum.
Western Union also protests pro-
vision Of the bill prohibiting employ
ment of messengers under eighteen in
any work described by the Children's
Bureau as hazardous" Such a rule,
said, would "involve serious

Cancellation Service Director Warren

The way was cleared for action by
the conference on major issues when
CIO President Murray was forced at
a meeting of the Executive Committee
to back down from his original de-
mand that the conference pass upon
pending wage disputes.
Mr.. Murray explained that all he
meant by his resolution on the wage
question was for the conference to
endorse collective bargaining on
wages now and in the future.
"Of course, no one either on the
labor side or on the management side
is going to object to that" one dele
gate commented.
But, originally, the CIO sought to
toss into the conferences lap all its
current wage dispute in steel, auto

New York (FP).-For the first
time in Japan's history central fed
Grafton of free unions will be estab-
lished in Tokyo in November, Tsune-
kichi Yamazaki, Socialist member of
the Imperial Japanese Diet and vet
eran labor leader, told Allied Labor
News in an exclusive interview IN
Japan.
He revealed that a conference OF
200 union leaders in Tokyo Oct. z
set up a committee to draft constl-
tuition for the federation. This outline
was to be presented to~a national
meeting scheduled for the middle OF
November.
"Our plans are incomplete" Yama-
zaka told AIN, "but | guarantee that
the new central union will be demo-
cratic. We are studying the forms of
foreign unions to determine the best
model. We have followed the progress
of the World Federation of Trade
Unions with great interest. After our
union is organized, we shall apply
for admission to that international
body"
Asked about the current strike
wave, Yamazaki replied: "lt is not
organized but is spontaneous pro-
test against the wage cuts which fol-
lowed the war. While salaries go
down, food gets scarcer and prices
rise steadily"
Since the arrival of American oc-
cupation authorities, AIN said, Jap
ans anti-labor laws have been re-
scinded and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Industrial National Service Associa-
tion abolished. AS a result, free unions
are springing up throughout Japan
and outstanding progress has been
made by the Seamen's Union at Kobe,
the Municipal Train Workers Union
in Tokyo and by railroad workers at
Osaka. A japanese Wagner act, en-
unions and collective bar

Rule of Force Held Outmoded
Explaining the purposes and aspir-
ations of the school, Gov. Dewey said;
"Rccurrent outbreaks of strikes
underline the fact that labor relations
are never static and that no formula
can be devised within the democratic
framework which will wholly wipe out
disputes. Nor does anyone who
values our way of life wish to end the
continuing effort by both labor and
management to advance their own in
terests. But the old rule of the tooth
and claw is out of date and should
come to an end.
To-day the old rules of force and
violence are as out of date as the
posse which strung up horse thief

now attain the age of reason.
knowledge, Understanding Vital
"We know now that the negotia-
tion and debate involved in labor re-
lations must be based upon knowl-
edge and understanding of the eco
nomic process, of the history Of in
dustrial development, of the effects of
chronological advances, and, of
course, of the complicated interrela-
tionship of prices, costs and wages.
''The future leaders in this field
must understand the broad fundamen-
tails that man can only earn more in
the long run by producing more with
modern facilities; that business can
exist and get the capital which creates
jobs only if it makes a good profit;
that no one piece of our economy can
be happy or prosperous if it attempts
to profit at the expense of the rest.
Warns of Excessive Burdens"
"Both sides must learn that the in
terest of teh public at large is para
mount and that the bargaining be-
tween capital and labor must scrupu-
lously avoid putting burden on the
public too great for it to bear. EX
cessive wages or excessive hours of
work can be such burden.
Strikes which interfere with the
public generally can be such burden.
To high prices can be such burden.
In short, trained understanding Of

ship must take the place of force"

South African Justice
On July 22 at a small town near
johannesburg, South Africa, police as
sauted and opened fire on a crowd of
unarmed Africans, the majority of
them women, who were picketing a
municipal beer hall. Four men, boy
of IL and a girl of 13 were killed.
Besides injuring several of the women
pickets, the police arrested 81 of them
along with 81 men on charges of pub
lie violence
Grievance which the pickets were
demonstrating against-the legal pro-
hibiaion against the brewing of "Kaf-
fir beer" in African homes-is typical
of the governments repressive meas
ures against the people.
During the first three months of
1915, $4,000 Africans were arrested
weekly for violating this law. Weekly
fines collected on the same charge
have amounted to $4,000. The univer-
sally hated law is maintained because
if the Africans were permitted to
make their own beer Cat consider
able saving to themselves), the huge
profits of the beer halls and conse-
quently the revenue of the municipal
tiles would be sharply cut.
British Dock Strike Ends
British dock strikers have returned
to work under a 30-day truce during
which wage demands and grievances
will be negotiated between employers
and the Transport & General Workers
Union, Allied Labor News reported
from London.
Strikers warned that unless their
demands were met within 80 days
they would walk out again. The strike,
which lasted six weeks and involved
10000 workers in all major ports, was
caused by the workers demand for an
increase in daily minimum wages from
16 shillings ($3.20) to 25 shillings
($5) and for 2-week vacations.
The strike was unauthorized and
was partly a protest against slowness
of union leaders in winning wage in
creases. Employers refused to resume
until the strike was end
ed and their position was supported
by Minister of Labor George Isaacs,
who refused to act unless the strike
was official.
