"There may be an age to ,come in which men will work at the bidding «f a judge while their demands re main unsatisfied, but that era has not arrived. Even more distant is the date, if the present attitude of capi tal is any indication, when employ ers will revise their pay rolls and run their business generally—no matter what penalties are provided—in ac cordance with judicial decisions. The laborer still works when and where lie pleases, subject only to the law of necessity, and money is invested when und where the investor likes. "New York is too well aware of these facts to support and attempt to repeat the farce which has made Kan sas ridiculous." te Ka aa RESIST FEDERAL PROBE Washington.—If the government can "meddle" with the steel industry it can control the public press, is the latest claim of 21 eastern steel cor porations in its two-year contest /with the federal trade commission. The federal board is attempting to ascertain production costs but the steel manufacturers oppose tfie plan The commission recently attempted to securedproduction costs from coal own ers, but were stopped by an injunc tion. When these business men are called upon to raise wages, however, an in vestigation of the cost of living for workers is taken as a matter of course I* 1* SIGN UNION AGREEMENT Joliet, 111.—The Commonwealth Mo tor Company has signed a union agreement. i v v & v i V i i ILJS AN UNEQUAL STRUGGLE Under the caption, "Playing for An other Strike,".the Oregon Journal of November 20, 1921, has this to say: "A new drive for lower wages is anned by the railroad heads." "Something like a dozen big eastern banks own the controlling interest in most of the roads. The men who operate those gigantic financial insti tutions have little knowlegq. and less concern about the great people Ait in the United States. "Their world is Manhattan Island and legislation down at Washington With them the railroad system of. America is not a thing for service to the people but a sideshow to their jreat financial institution^?. They were among the men to whom Theo dore Roosevelt referred in his many denunciations of 'swollen fortunes and 'crimes of cunning'. "Great wealth is not a crime. It is the matter of how some great fortunes were obtained and how they are used that is sometimes a crime. When owners of these fortunes reach out beyond their own field and seize a coun try's transportation system and oper ate it for their own profit instead of for the service of the country's enter prises and people, it is wrong. Yet fcha|j is exactly what has been done with the transportation /system of America. "It is J,rue that there are thousands of private stockholders. It is true that shares of railroad stock are widely distributed. But is is true that the owners and great directing force and the beneficiaries of the American rail transportation are'"a handful of big eastern financial ho^3est consisting principally of the great Morgan and Rockefeller groups. "The struggle that recently took place oyer the threatened strike of men was a struggle between these gi gantic banking houses and the men who operate the trainsvkeep a watch ful care over the lives of millions of passengers, keep up the tracks, x*e pair the rolling stock i\nd do the other work in the transportation system In truth and in fact, it was a strug gle between dividend takers and the men who do the world's work. The workers are at an extreme dis advantage. The great financial insti tutions haVe the money wrth which to buy propaganda and propagandists We had in the late struggle the spec tacle of editorials in American news papers written almost bodily from printed railroad propaganda. A long interview a few days ago by a rail road head announcing rate reductions on certain farm products was filled with propaganda for reduction of wages with which to catch,, the public and was widely carried by the news papers, in many cases on first pages "It is an unequal struggle. The workers have no money with which to meet this propaganda and have no means by which to hire skilled prop agandists. The public never got, for example, in the late struggle, a real ization of what the revision of rules meant to the employes, yet that revi sion cut as much, or more, from their earnings than did the actual reduction of wages. "Nor did the public, while giving so much of its sympathy to the great institutions that manipulate the roads remember that there is better business for all and more prosperity for all when the%lion's share of railroad earn ings goes not to a small group of financiers with men poorly paid, but when a reasonable shaVe goes to mil lions of well-paid men."

J.—In an address be* fore a cnference on women in in dustry, Miss Ethel M. Smith, of Washington, said that through their tragic experience with the courts wage workers have learned that there is a vast difference between actual equality and theoretical or judicially determined economic equality. Miss Smith is national legislative secretary of the women's trade union league. V' "Workers know the abuse of the term 'freedom of contract' by the courts," she said. "They know the courts are often influenced by priv leged interests. They know that every possible pretext has been seiz ed upon by unscrupulous employers to challenge the constitutionality of labor laws. 'At this moment, in the capital-of the United States, laundry owners are withholding from the women laundry 0 workers upward of $150,000 bac# pay on their legal minimum wage. The employers have withheld this ever since they challenged the law in court, where a decision is pending." The speaker opposed the proposed 'equal rights" amendment to the fed eral constitution, which is being urged by the national woman's party. This amendment provides that legislation that does not apply to both sexes is illegal. r 'The net result of 'all lawyers' opinions is their best guess as to how nine other lawyers,-the supreme court justices, will view- the matter—after the women affected by the laws have been deprived of their benefits during the process of determination." It was shown that the amendment would affect every law that applies to women, and that these laws would be set aside while the lawyers and courts discussed the constitution. to to to LABOR COLLEGE OPENS San Francisco:—The labor college has opened its second term in new arid larger quarters.
