By RICHARD T- JONES, Director Fourth District, United States Employment Service, Kansas City, Mo. Members of organized labor gen erally are in favor of prohibition. They have observed its operation and have cbme to regard the Eighteenth Amendment as a blessing. Strikes and lockouts have not increased -as a result of its enactment, as was so freely predicted by the wet element in the unions. Widespread unem ployment did not result because some thousands 01 bartenders and birew ery workers were temporarily thrown out of work. On the other hand the '•benefits have been many- Labor temples have been erected in every part of the country as a direct result of the dry law. The writer campaigned in Michi gan in the fall of 1916 when that state voted dry. He found that or ganized labor in Detroit, had been trying for maoy years previous to that time to build a labor temple, a home of its own. Headway wals made slowly, when at all. During 13 years of agitation on the subject, prior to 1916, the group having the temple project in charge had been able to secure a building lot but little prog ress had been made toward building the temPle until the city was rid of its saloons and the local labor move ment was freed from sal6bn politics. Chief Patrons of Saloons* As in many other American cities the working classes of Detroit were the chief patrons of the saloon. Meet ing places of the unions in many cases were in saloorf buildings or else'very close by. The writet recalls a meeting of the iron molders' union when he was billed to speak on be half of the Trade Union Dry League of Detroit, representing a group of men and women who thought the labor movement should be rid of saloon domination. When the owner of the building, who also owned the saloon below, learned that a prohib itionist was holding forth upstairs, he notified the iron ^molders that they would have to stop the speeoh or get out of the hall. The speech came to an abrupt ehd.' The molders were getting free rent, or at least, thought' they were. Dozens of other organizations were the same predicament* Because of the "free" rent feature, or for a comparatively small monthly amount, it was difficult to interest these local unions in a proposal to build a tem ple owned and controlled by all the unions in the city. J' But with the ousting of the saloons from Detroit, things begait to take a turn. The temple advocates got busy and the following item takeh from a recent issue of the Detroit Labor News, official organ of union labor in that city, tells the story: "The present revenUe of the build-' ing amounts to $900 a month, which will meet c.11 operating' expensen, interest, Payment on mortgage, taxes insurance, etc., and leave a tHE XABOR WORLD monthly balance of $100." The above was not written" for the purpose of making out a cause for the Eighteenth Amendment, but it offers a striking argument, in favor of prohibition to those yrho know the labor situation in Detroit, and Detroit is only typical of the average American city in this respect. Valuable Property Purchased* St. Paul, Minn., is another exam ple. Since the adoption of the Eigh teenth Amendment the local labor temple committee asked one day's pay from every member of a trade union. Thete "was no compulsion a|bout it and a valuable property has been purchased which when remod eled will accommodate every union in the city. Here, then, is another instance, common throughout the country, where, with the removal of the saloon influence the labor movement is left to develop along legitimate lines- St. Paul, too had, many local unions receiving "free" tfent. Mention could be made of other cases. But the average city/ hereto fore without a labor temple owned by the local organizations, tells the same story. The liquor interests-had nothing to gain by the erection' of labor temples but, on the conti&ry, had a great deal to lose. They feared loss of patronage, and that was all they cared about."Tn^y did not Want^ to see the unions "bunched-" Ownership of labor temples by the unions in the dry southern states was the rule rather than the excep tion, and T. J. Greer, President, of the Louisiana Federation of Labor, is authority for the statement that these temples were influence from trade union politics. Take the case of Denver. Its 12£ local unions had been 'meeting in 30 different halls, most ofr them lo cated adjacent to saloons. This was during the wet days in Colorado, For 20 years the unions had £een trying to get together to build a iabor tem ple,' but the saloon influence' was always on hand to check the move. Whej) the state voted dry, however, the unions were able to gcit together with the jame result as In DetroMu. St. Paul, and other cities—a pnagrii? ficent home of their o^rn. I Local secretaries'invarihbly report prompter payment of union dues un der prohibition. The average sec retary of a local union Is a strong advocate of prohibition for this rea son. The union treasury itow gets much 6f the money that fornierly went to the saloon. Ask the next lo cal secretary you meet. He knows. WA6E WETWS By J. M. BAER, The Congressman-Cartoonist. The National "Industrial Confer enbe board'ls an organization of em ployers. It publishes a bulletin which presents things that employers value. Latest bulletin" says that on Jan 1, 1922, average hourly wages in 26 industries were 99 per cent above July, 1914, wages, while average weekly earnings were 80 'per cent higher. put don't let this frighten anyone don't let it make,anyone feel rich. The same bulletin figures it out that in terms of purchasing Power wages on Jan. It 1922, were only il per cent higher than in July, 1|44» There's a difference. between the face value of money and the real value of money in its purchasing power. Now to do some, figuring out on oqr own hook. The 'difference be tween the 11 per {sent added pur chasing power and the 98 per cent face value, which is 87, Was the per centage that went into the pockets of Profiteers, speculators, middle men and the whole crew of pirates that were behind the gameNp'f infla tion and deflation robbery. Of course these figures were made by men hired by employers. We can't gamble on their, accuracy, but taking them at their face value, they show that somebody got away with murder. The way to prevent more murder of-that kind is to resist wage reduc tions—to stick by your* guns and hold every inch of ground" that you've got. _• COLORADO STATE POLICE CAUSE STRIKE TROUBLE State cossacks are attempting to create turmoil in the coal fields of this state. Secretary Pogliano of dis trict No. 15, United Mine Workers, says cossacks were mobilized in Fre mont county, and began whispering: The rkdicais are going to dynamite the mines-" "The whole trouble," said the min ers' official, "is that the men are leaving the mines by the hundreds and the coal owners are desperate There has been no trouble up there and there will be none unless it is started by outsiders." ~f— MONOPOLY'S CREED Let us corner up the sunbeams, Lying all around our path Get a trust on wheat and roses, Give .the poor ihe thornsvand chaff. Let us find our chiefest pleasure Hoarding bounties ofc the day, So the poor will have scant measure And two prices have to Pay. Yes, we'll reservoir the rivers, And we'll levy on the lakes, And we'll lay a trifling poll-tax On each poor man tlv&t partakes. We'll brand his number on him, That he'll, carry .all through life. We'll apprentice. 411 his children, Get a mortgage on his wife- We will capture eyen the wind-god, And confirie him in a cave Then through our patent process, We the atmosphere will save. Thus we'll squeeze our. Poorer brother When he tries his lungs to fill, Put a meter on his wind-pipe, And present Our little bill. We will syndicate the starlight' And monopolize the moon. Claim royalty on rest days, A proprietary noon. For right of way through ocean's spray We'll drive our stakes around the lakes Ip short, we'll own the earth. —Harriet Hunt Cams- WRITTEN 32 YEARS A60 The Labor Call of Melbourne, Au stralia, reprints an historical defense of trade unionism written 32 years ago by the late Chief Justice Hig inbotham. Jn forwarding a donation to a woman to assist the wives and families of workers on strike, this jurist said: "I do not think thatv despondency should be allowed to damp the en ergy or, to divert the purpose at this juncture of any true unionist, wlio knows how much and how long la bor has suffered for want of union, and how much/ l&bor has .gained through union, though still imper* feet and far tbo limited in its. oper ations "I think It is clear that recent de feat/.has been' caused by the want of«more complete and extended, un ion amongst the classes, that labor, and' this lesson* if it be well under stood and remembered, will prove a greater benefit to labor than pres ent victory. Nor shoulti we forget that, strikes are, and must .continue for a time, to be the only weapon in the last resource, that labor can use in waging lawful war with capital. 'T share with you in the belief ^nd.hope that time will bring peace between those two factors of human industry, but that time will not come until labor shalr attain, by^means of union, equal Power with capital and shall .be able: to insist on terms of hojiorable and lasting peace. In the meantime there must be conflict, with all its'' consequences. In this conflict individuals,. for the most part, can do littl^. but I think that you aqd your fellow-workers in"Tthe matter of this bazaar are entitled to find satisfaction in the .thought .that you haye done what you could, and that What\you 'have done 'has been tg the right direction, and I dp nqt know of.any human effprt that rests ypon a more solid baala than this." ^PT.?9,1J9??, ^€W "We shall not abolish wars by passing pious resolutions or having processions against wars, or by sav ing ourselves from the torture of hard thinking, by subscribing liber ally for the relief of the distressed or even In the long run by international conferences at Washington or The Hague/' said Phillip Keyr, for five years confidential secretary of Lloyd George, in a speech before the insti tute of politics. The Britisher said resolutions and anti-war processions were g6od, pro vided they are recognized as a pro cess of getting up steam "for the real thing." "Lord Balfour dnce said to niie that he was almost more disturbed by peace movements than by talk about war. ^For,' he said, 'these demon strations do not defcl with the real causes of_'war. They just put up a paper screen, painted to. delude the people of good-will all over the world into thinking that something is really being done to prevent war. while in reality behind the, paper screen the forces of militarism are. sharpening ihelr knives all the time.*' "Today -the civilized world is standing in' relation to this. problem of war ''exactly where England and America stood in regard to the great War before 1914. It is talking about it. It made a feeble effort in the covenant of the league of nations. It has run away from this slender hope. It has now come back to passing resolutions 'against the use of poison STRUCK IN MAINE Drillers for Oil Find Anthracite at Great Depth. Renewed interest in the oil drill ing project at Dover Foxcroft, Me., has been awakened by the fact that the drillers, during the Past two days have gone through a-hine-ioot vein of hard coal and have encountered^ several pockets of gas at a great depth beneath the earth's surface/ The drillers, all men of experience ini the Pennsylvania coal and oil fields, say that the coal and gas closely resemble that located in their own state anl that conditions of earth surrounding the pockets arijt veins as shown by the drillaj are the same. The drilling for oil began at this place last year and. continued through the summer until winter conditions necessitated a suspension of wtfrk. The hole has now reached a depth of 1&P0 *eet. The prospect was Being made for oil, but the find ing of coal willje equally agreeable for the local men who are financing the experiment. The greater part of the coal samples have been carried off by souvenir hunters- It is: said that the 1900-foot hole is the deep est ever drilled %in. Many visitors are flocking to the oil well at the present time and it is expected that the interest will be come keener as the drill sinks tf the depth of from 2200 to 3200 feet, which is the, depth, where oil is struck in the New ^Brunswick oil regions.
