-t— MR MERCHANT Hintoitthe AS occured to you that this paper goes homes of the best paid working men in Duluth and surrounding territory? It ia carefully perused by every adult mem ber of the household. There ia no vertising medium anywhere. better ad ALL HAPPY WHEN RAILROAD STRIKE WAS CALLED OFF Brotherhoods Yielded to Pres sure Brought to Bear by Rail road Labor Board. tte country breathed a deep sigh of relief when it was learned that the railroad strike had been called off. The brotherhood chiefs did the only thing that could be .'.one. The cards were stacked against them. The press attended to public opinion and the administration carried the club. But that was not all, the shop crafts were not ready for a walkout. Their grievances against the railroads had not been brought to a head, and they felt they would not be justified in striking until they knew just where they were going to land. On top of that the brotherhood, did not give them the necessary assurance that If hey walked out together they would all go back together and none singly. The railroads were really trapped before the strike was called off. They wanted a strike. Their publicity agents were busy informing the public that the strike would not be against the railroads but against the railroad labor board and the government. Word was sent out to all the commer cial clubs to adopt resolutions de manding that labor obey the rulings of the labor board. The Duluth Com mercial club called on labor and the railroads to adhere to the decisions of the board. Assurance Is Given. When the railroad labor board stepped into the breach its members assured the brotherhoods that there ould not possibly be any further hanges in wages until next July and they asked that the status quo be maintained until they could consider the question. After two days of par leying the unions called the strike off. That is what the railroads did not want to have done. It was upsetting the plans of the anti-unionists from their headquarters in the House of Morgan. They were forced into an awkward position and they have since abandoned their howls for obedience to government orders. They cannot now bring about an additional cut in wages at their own sweet will. Iv. E. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railroad Conductors, stated the case of the men and gave rea sons for calling off the strike. "We were influenced in our •'deci sion," he said, "because of the grow ing public opinion that the strike would be against the labor board, and consequently the government, and not against the railroads. Propaganda Does Its Work. "It was evident aiso that the entire Washington administration was op posed to us and that we have had lit tle chance of gaining our objective. Wo called the strike to gain certain rights to which our men were entitled. It soon bccame apparent, however, that the roads were succeeding In their misleading propaganda to the effect that we really would be strik ing against the government. "The railroad propaganda found it-3 way to the United States Railroad La bor Board. The governmental agency told us that it would look on a strike as against it and the government and not against the roads, and that the full force of the government would be brought to bear against us if we walked out. Under the circumstances there was nothing to do but annul orders for the October 30 walkout." "There were several factors which contributed to bring about a peaceful settlement of the controversy," con tinued Mr. Sheppard, "notably the promise of the representative of tho managements, T. DeWitt Cuyler, chairman of the Association of Rail road Executives of the United States. States. Relying on Cuyler's Promise. "Mr. Cuyler before the United States Railroad Labor Board .guaran teed in in effect that there would be no arbitrary cancellation of sched ules or working conditions or further requests for wage reductions except in negotiation with representatives of the men on the respective lines or by collective effort should the a|ime be agfeed upon and that if failure to agree in negotiations resulted the question would be referred to the La bor Board for action in accordance with the board's announced pro cedure." INSURANCE BOGTOR SAYS LIFE CAN BE LENGTHENED NEW YORK, Nov. 3.—Dr. A. S. Kflight, president of the national as sociation of life insurance medical di rectors, told delegates to the conven tion of that organization that a six year test has shown that human life is prolonged by periodical health ex aminations. "*The mortality of a special group of 5,937 men, who have taken voluntary medical examinations regularly since 1914, has been only 53 per cent of the rate expected on standard insur ance tables, Dr. Knight said. The company, he added, in defraying the expense of the tests for its policy hold ers has had its principal returned and h£s made on the investment, through reduced insurance claims, a profit of 20-0 per cent. FAVOR ANTI-LYNCH BILL. WASHINGTON Nov. 3.—The Dyer anti-lynching bill, imposing heavy penalties on persons involved in mob aption resulting in the taking of life, been favorably reported by the abuse judiciary committee. WORKERS' WAGES DOWN OFFICIAL'S SALARY UP WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—Secre tary of War Weeks has inaugu rated an economic policy in the Panama canal zone, on recommen dation of a commission headed by Brigadier General Connor. Wages of workers are reduced and the many concessions given them as an independent to go to Panama when health was menaced Is taken from them. These reduc tions are estimated at $90.05 a month for married men and $66.60 for single men. The "economy" program stopped with the wage workers, for the commission recommended that the salary of the governor of the canal zone be Increased 50 per cent and that he also be allowed an addi tional $4,900 as president of the Panama railroad, for "entertain ment expenses." It is also stated that henceforth the canal zone will be operated un der what anti-unionists term "open" shop. Officers of the A. P. of L. metal trades department took the matter up with the secretary of war and the president, but without success. UNION MEN QUIT INJUNCTION JAIL Machinists Serve Year and Leave Jail Defiant of Injunction Writ. HOBOKEN, N. J., Nov. 3.—Eight machinists who served a year's im prisonment for violating an injunction, have been released and are more strongly opposed to the injunction writ than when they entered jail. The workers are Samuel Petterson, William Murray, Patrick E. Musto, Abffraham Ebert, Vincent Grammona, George Miller, Albert Thorry, and Stephen Rethman. When a strike was called by the Machinists' union against the Bijur Motor Appliance company, the work era were enjoined from picketing by Vice Chancellor Buchanan. The strikers refused to desist telling their story to employes and were jailed by tho chanoellor, who now finds that his un-American order creates r.o ter ror among workers. Before leaving jail the unionists signed a letter of appreciation to dis trict No. 15, International Association of Machinists, for making common cause in the fight and for aiding their families while they were in jail. MARKET SYSTEM CAUSE OF WASTE TRENTON, N. J., Nov, 3.—A crop of 10,000,000 heads of lettuce is go:ng to waste on New Jersey farms because the public cannot get it at reasonable prices, says the New. Jersey depart ment ©f agriculture. Growers who are anxious to nell at a little more than the cost of pack ing and marketing, in order to recover some fraction of the cost of produc tion, find the big city markets blocked, with customers charged "war prices— plus" for this product. Comparisons of prices paid the far mer and prices paid by the house wife Show a maximum spread of from *00 to 600 per cent. Many growers are plowing under the crisp heads of let tuce for which the public is hungry. Luttuce growing is extensive in this state largely because of the educa tional campaigns of the use of greens containing minerals beneficial to health. The lettuce growers say tills campaign is futile because dealers have needlessly put lettuce beyond reach of the average family's pocket book. There are few members of the la bor movement who are still howling about the Russian Soviet government and preaching rev-v-volution for this country. Not very long ago many in the movement were deceived about the conditions in Russia through listen ing to "soap boxers" who were never nearer Russia than the corner of the street upon which they stood to preach their false doctorine. But some of our brothers "fell" for the dope hand ed out. At the last international conven tion of the Machinists the pfesidsnt, William H. Johnston, was instructed to go to Russia and there attempt to secure some trade agreements for his organization with the Bolshevik gov ernment. Mr. Johnston was denied admis sion to Bolshevik territory, but learn ed much of what was going on there. In a report issued by Mr. Johnston to the membership of his internation al he tells may things of interest to the American workers, and some startling truths concerning the Bol shevists' attitude toward the trade union and cooperative movement of Soviet Russia. Mr. Johnston states in part am follows "The attitude of the Bolshevik gov trial workers and their trade unions can be summed up as follows: THE LABOR —VOL. 20. NO. 10. DULUTH AND SUPERIOR, NOVEMBER 5,1921. COAL MINER? AN STRIKE AGF/.ST ANDERSOF/JIICT -fiS Fop Nearly 30.000 J'#* a Miners Walk Out Unio ids Oper ators to ulract. Press reports indicate that 30,000 coal miners in Indiana have quit work in that field although no strike order has been issued by the district of ficers. It is predicted that every mine in the state will be closed this week in protest against Federal Judge Anderson's injunction decree. The officers of the United Mine Workers' union, it is said, are in sisting that the provision of the con tract with the operators relating to the "check off of dues and assess ments shall be enforced. That con tract was made under government pressure, by government consent and with government approval. The of ficers will regard its discontinuance by the operators in spite of Judge Anderson's order, as a violation of their agreement. Union chiefs declined to amplify the telegram, sent Tuesday evening to the 17 district presidents, virtual ly instructing them to stand pat on the present agreement, which they pointed out was arrived at with the government's approval. In some quarters belief was ex pressed that the sending of the tele grams by John L. Lewis, internation al president of the union, and his col leagues might be construed as "open defiance" of Judge Anderson's de cree and lead to repetition of the contempt of court proceedings of two years ago. Frederick Van Nuys, United States district attorney, was silent on this phase of the situation. Gompcrs Warns "Autocrat." "Judge Anderson's injunction for bids men to organize," said Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor. "The bill of right gives them constitutional free dom and the Clayton act gives them the guarantee of statute law. Judge Anderson sweeps away both of these guarantees as if they were but the merest scraps of paper. He plays the part of autocrat well, but sooner or later every arutocrat hag his fall. "There is a great moral issue at stake, and the side of justice and free dom and humanity will not be aban doned, even at the behest of this mod ern Jeffries, Judge Anderson." SENATETAVORS BIG RAIL LOAN Committer Makes Favor Report on Bill Granting Roads Ad ditional Half Billion. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—The sen ate committee on interstate commerce has made a favorable report on the bill that would pay the railroads $500,000,000 and postpone their debts of an equal amount to the govern ment. It is claimed this legislation will permit the railroads to buy equip ment and give work to unemployed. At a recent unemployed conference, called by the president, President Carter of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Firemen, suggested that the bill be indorsed with the understand ing that the money be used for equip ment. Advocates of the bill refused to accept indorsement under these conditions. The brotherhood official said that if former practices of the railroads were followed, they would use this $500,000,000 to pay deferred dividends to stockholders. "1. The freedom of the trades unions was at first so limited that all unions were required to operate un der the control of and in the manner prescribed by the authorities. Later all trades unions were abolished by official decree. "2. A decree was Issued prohi biting all meetings except those held upon the consent of the Bloshevik authorities. "3. Freedom of speech was abol ished and it became a crime to utter a word against the communist. "4. Strikes were declared to be counter-revolutionary acts and work men who went on strike were depriv ed of rations and punished by Impris onment. "5. All branches of Industry were forcibly enlisted in the so-called "la bor armies," and were neither allowed to choose their employment nor to change from one factory to another. "6. The working of overtime be came compulsory and preminm and bonus system were universally intro duced to speed up production. Later a new kind of wage called "remun eration in kind" was added to the pre mium scheme. "By decree of August 1, 1920, the ernment towards the Russian indus Bolshevik government established a tariff which laid down a definite form of wage based on higher and lower AMERICAN LABOR WILL NOT BE OUTLAWED OR ENSLAVED LA FOLLETTE WINS OUT IN TILT WITH OLD GUARD Things have been going badly with the Old Guard In the Senate and there are sound reasons for the statement that it Is going to get a few more hard knocks before eon-' sldcratlon of the revenue bill is completed. Its first decisive de feat came with the approval of Senator La Follett's amendment striking out the tax exemption on foreign trade, drawn by the Finance committo in the interest of inter national bankers and industrial concerns that are planing a con quest of world trade backed by the American government and who had hoped to avoid paying anything for tho service to be rendered. Scarcely had the smoke of this struggle blown away when the Old Guard was compelled to accept the compromise amendment covering excess profits, the high surtax bracket being placed at 50 per cent on large incomes. The House bill set the tax at 32 per cent and the Finance committee incorpor ated that figure in the draft. Big Business had constructed the dom inant party's campaign pledge of reduced taxation as applying parti cularly and exclusively to its sclcct circle. 6RAFTERS WILL BE SAFE AFTER ARMISTICE DAY There Will be Joy Among War Looters When Nation Mourns Loss of Unknown. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3—There will be joy among war grafters when the nation mourns at the interment of the unknown American soldier boy on Armistice day, November 11. After that date the grafters will be immune from prosecution by the statute of limitation. A few weeks ago attention was called to the probability of the graft ers escaping, and much talk ijras. heard about rushing is- bill through congress extending the statute of lim itation from three years to six years. The plan was dropped, however, but Attorney General Daugherty was not so busy at that time that he could not Journey to Cincinnati and tell the American Bar association of the. need for compulsory investigation of in dustrial disputes that strikes may be stopped by law. A house committee headed by Con gressman Graham has been investi gating the war grafters. f?he com mittee made this report on the Stand ard Steel company: "tfhere were fraud and bribery ad mitted by the government agents, but all such accounts were allowed in full. The company stole a car load of small tools from this plant) and removed them clandestinely to their own plant." Reference was also made by the committee of the sale of the company for $300,000 of buildings and material which had cost $3,500,000, though there was a bid in for $700,000,000, which the negotiating army officer "concealed, from his associates." WORKERS RAISE WAGES. FORT WILLIAM, Ontario, Canada, Nov. 3.—Organized railway clerks and freight handlers employed by the Western Stevedore company have raised wages and retained old work ing conditions. Rates for truckers and checkers were advanced four cents an hour, and loaders and coop ers will be paid an addition five cents an hour. THEATER SIGNS. TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 3.—The Bi jou theater has signed an agreement with the Motion Picture Operators' union. JOHNSTON TELLS WHAT HAPPENED TO LABOR IN "FREE" SOVIET R1SSIA specialization. In accordance with this tariff laborers were to receive from 2,200 to 3,000 rubles per month skilled workers were to receive from 3,000 to 4,000 rubles per month and engineers were to receive from 6,000 to .7,000 rubles per month. "This scale of wages proved to be wholly inadequate, and the govern ment was obliged to introduce a pre or bonus system in an endeavor to stimulate production and give the workers more adequate compensation. "As a basis for the premium, 60 per cent of the production of an average workman for the yeaT 1916 was taken. If a workman produced more than this average he was paid an additional remuneration for the extra produc tion. A decree dated March 9, 1320, provided that under no circumstances should the prelum exceed 100 per cent of the workman's basic wage., "When the Bolshevik came Into power they abolished overtime work in all industries and declared that no man should work more than eight hours except in some specified em ployment, wherein the eight-hour day was not workable. When, however, the production in all industries began to fall away and skilled men deserted the factories for the villages where food was- more plentiful, the govern ment reintroduced overtime. ,.At first it was optional* but in the summer 4^* TJCV1, SURTAXERS AIM TO GET FURTHER TAX REDUCTIONS Congress Agrees to Less, But They Are Not Satisfied and Look for More. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—Both branches of congress have agreed to reduce the 65 per cent surtax—or ad ditional tax—on large incomes. The hpuse favors a reduction to 32 per cent, but this has caused such a pro test throughout the country that the senate has made the surtax 50 per cent. Under the senate amendment the surtax starts with a charge of 1 per cent on annual incomes from $6,000 to $10,000. Another 1 per cent is added for ever yadditionai $2,000 in come, until the $200,000 and over in come is reached, when the surtax will be the maximum 50 per cent, instead of 65 per cent, as provided under tho present law. The few thousand excessively rich individuals, who will gain by this re duction have not lost their fight for a still greater cut in their income tax ation, for when the revenue bill goes to conference amendments can be made and these must be accepted by the house and senate, or the entire revenue bill must be rejected and the long fight reopened. Advocates of the low surtax claim that persons with large incomes arc taking their money out of industry and placing it in tax-exempt bonds of all description, which are esti mated to total $30,000,000,000. The high surtaxers reply that the tax exempt bonds will be owned by some one, and if the present owners sell them the ownership will be merely transferred and no reduction of in come taxes can prevent the sale of these securities. The revenue bill also calls for the abolishment of excess profits. Linked up with these revenue losses to the government are whispers that the government's economy program has proven a "flash in the pan" and that deficits ag£r«s&Mar millions of dol lars are facing the treasury. ESCH-CUMMINS LAW IS SCORED Governors and Other State Offi cials in Middle West Con demn Railroad Law. DES MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 8.—The Cummins-Esch railroad law was con demmed at a conferance of governors and other state officials of middle western states in this city. "The Cummins-Esch law," said Governor Blaine of Wisconsin, "dis courages efficient and responsible management, for it garantees the carriers a fixed return. Railroad stocks are greatly inflated and the fixed guarantee is upon the inflated value, commonly known as 'watered stock." "A guarantee to a private enter prise is dangerous and vicious, yet there is no more justification for guaranteeing a return on railroad in vestment than guaranteeing the far mer, merchants, manufacturer, pro fessional man or woman a return. "Under the Cummins-Esch law the transportation companies have found an excuse for organizing subsidiary companies with over-capitalized as sets in connection with transporta tion, which results in further increas ing the burdens of rates." of 1920 a decree announced the com pulsory working of overtime with pay as for double time for the first two hours arnd time and a half there after. Instead of the 44-hour week the Russian industrial workers have been compelled to work 12 hours per day and 72 hours per week during the last 12 months. "Sunday work is frequently com pulsory and severe punishment is ad ministered upon those who fail to re port for work. When Sunday work is required the result is 80 hours work per week. "The remuneration of the Petra grad metal workers in 1920 was about 20 times below his remuneration in 1916. As a consequence of such con ditions the staple food of the skilled workers of Russia is nothing but black bread, and that often of an inferior quality. "A workman from the Pootiloff Works (in Petrograd) reported to the English labor delegates: 'In the full sense of the word we are starving, as we exist on bread and Soviet soup' alone. We are completely exhausted owing to excessive overtime and in sufficient nourishment.' "A workman from the Oboukhoff Works said: 'Whilst ip consequence of inadequate payment the workmen' were unable to buy during the lest, year eithermeat- for fata-and were -L. 'ik ••J UNION LABOR UNTIES TO DEFEND FEDERAL BUREAU Organized labor is making a de termined effort to prevent the United States Department of Labor from being emasculated by the Harding administration. A con ference of trade-union legislative representatives in Washington was held recently at American Federa tion of Labor headquarters* to map out a program.. .Forty-five legis lative agents, representing national and international organizations, were present. It was unanimously voted to strenuously oppose any at tempt to weaken, destroy, subordi nate or amalgamate the the Depart ment of Labor. President Samuel Gompers presi ded at the meoting. He was directed to bring the matter to the attention of the rank and file of labor in the United States and to the people generally. It was the expressed opinion that the proposed changes would, If carried out, op erate to prevent the normal activi ties of labor and would aid the de signs of those who seek to oppress the workers and to curtail their constitutional rights. PRINTERS HAVE FAT RANK ROLL I. T. U. Prints Page Advertise ment in Toronto Papers Show ing Financial Condition. TORONTO, Ontario, Nov. 3.—In a page advertisement printed in local papers for the benefit of delegates to the convention of the United Typo thetae of America, the Intermalional Typographical union presents statis tics to refute the claim by some dele gate among the employers that the union is financially embarrassed be cause of efforts to enforce a 4 4-hour agreement, made twei years ago. It is shown that the union's general fund has increased $287,222.50 since April 20, 1921. The balance in all funds on September 20, 1921, was $"!, 755,968.82. "All the union demands is the ful fillment of the contract made in good faith wUfr employers,' says the adver tisements 'The International ^Typographical union has always believed that a con tract is not 'crap of paper.' "It had a contract with employing printers for the eight-hour day with a Saturday half holiday. "If there is any odium connected with the unemployment conditions in the printing industry at this time, it is with the employer a«nd not with the Typographical union." 6UNMEN BLAMED FOR W. VA. WAR BECKLEY, W. Va., Nov. 3.—At the convention of district No. 29, United Mine Workers, It was declared that "the men working in and around the coal mines of West Virginia, for the past 30 years, have not been allowed to exercise their 6tate and constitl tional rights, and have been forced to work under the most brutal gun man, mine guards system. "For the past 12 months the miners of Mingo country, of this state, have been locked out from their work be cause they joined our union, and dur ing this time thousands of our women and children have suffered arod sacri ficed, and numbers of our men have given up their lives in this struggle, At the present moment 861 of our members, including the president and other officials of both districts in this state, are indicted by frameup evi dence, charged with conspiracy and murder." compelled to live on rye bread alone, the commissars were replete and lived in comfortable circumstances.' "A very good sidelight on food con dition in Moscow in June, 1921, can be found in our own experience. When it was though that we would be al lowed to proceed to Moscow we were frankly advised as to the question of food. We were told we could not purchase any food within Bolshevik Russia, but that we would be allowed the best ration as follows: For breakfast, teai and black bread, for lunch, cabbage soup j»nd black bread for dinner, baked millet. "The Russian Co-operatives were abolished May 20, 1920, and thus the last agency for the promotion of trade was done away with. The Co-opera tives were previously controlled by the Social Revolutionists and were never in sympathy with communism or the general Bolshevik program. April 29, 1921. the Co-operatives issued a state ment announcing that the again had the right to acquire stocks of goods and to engage in business. This per mission to resume activities was grant ed with certain restrictions which irp pear to be not entirely satisfactory, but it is a start in the right direction."

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.—At tlje conclusion of a two-day session in this city the national disarmament advi sory committee invited to convene by President Gompers formed a per manent organization to be known, a^ the general committee for limitation of armament. The organization will be directed by a board of governors of 21 mem bers and an executive committee Of five. ,There will be a chairman, hon orary chairman, secretary, treasurer and an executive secretary. Offices will be opened in Washington at once. Membership on the board of gov ernors will be so arranged as to make that body representative of all organ ized groups which favor limitation of armament. The two-day conference, presided over by President Gompers Was re markable for its uiiity of view point and for its expression of determina tion to give force to Mr. (Simpers' declaration for "the furthest ttmtt?*.?pf disarmament. No Definite Proposals. In its declaration of principles and purpose the conference said, in part: "It is not our purpose to attem.pt to suggest definite proposals to end war. The heavy responsibility rests on the appointed representatives of our own and other governments. "But we believe that a few general principles are accepted as self-evident, by a great majority of our fellow countrymen, and that it may be help ful to restate them at this time. "The United States alone and sin gle handed cannot best serve the great cause of peace by disarming. Even is such solitary disarmament were possible to a limited extent, it would not make for world peace. It would only lessen our power to stand for freedom and to protect democracy throughout the world. Disarmament can be made effective only by inter national agreement. There is pd other way. Chief Cause of War. "Great armies and navies are not the chief causes of war. Frightful fes is the burden they put upon the peo ples of the earth a great world war is infinitely worse. Great armaments are not the only means of destruc tion. Terrible as will be the devasta tion of the world by its armies and navies, the poison gases and deadly chemical compounds now being dis covered in the secret laboratories of many nations, even those which may have a peace-time use, may annihilate civilization in the next war.
