New York Fur Workers
Add to Organized La
bor's Victories
New York.—The fur workers of this
city have won a complete victory in
their wage negotiations with the as
sociated fur manufacturers. The fur
riers are members of the International
Fur Workers' Union of the United
States and Canada. The controversy
over the wage agreement has spread
over several weeks and at times sev
eranee of friendly relations was
threated by the insistence of the
bosses upon new conditions, which in
volved an increase of five hours
week in #ie working time and,
heavy reduction of wages. In the
agreement, which has been signed for
two yeufs, the union holds the 44
hmjr Week, maintains the present
scale of wages and all previous work
M.t conditions. The joint board of the
furriers' unions carried on the duties
•1 the wage conference for the work
i, and its report was adopted at
overflow mass meetings, which were
i Mended by many prominent mem
tK-i's of organized labor of other crafts
lie victory of the furriers and of the
nciidle trades workers in this city has
given an impetus to the work of or
ganization. It is the opinion of ex
perienced organizers that the move
ment of the anti-union employers to
break the unions, upon which they en
tered foth such vigor a year ago,, has
been effectively checked. The losses
the employers have-sustained through
their anti-union experiments have had
a salutary effect upon their opinions
They have learned that the union con
tract guarantees that industrial sta
bility so essential to national pros
perity.

Frnftk Witte, of Cincinnati, repre
senting the Axton-Fisher Tobacco
Co., Louisville, Ky., appeared before
a number of local unions last week and
made a strong plea that union men
smoke and chew only union made
goods. He said, among other things,
As long as we continue to purchase
commodities that are made«,and pre
pared by scab labor we ought not con
demn the 'open shopper' because it is
we' who are purchasing their pro
duets and who are co-operating with
them to make their movement to
rush and disrupt organized labor a
incess."
lie passed out samples of Clown
-ii-arettes, a product of the Axton

rnt cigarette on the market to day.
Iv also distributed samples of Old
liiil Side smoking, Booster, Axton's
tural Leaf and White Mule Twist
for chewing, all products of his com
).uiy and which bear the union label.
Mr. Witte was well received wher
ever he appeared and was pledged the
support of the trades unionists
He told of Mr. Wotjrf F. Axton par
ticipating in the last Labor Day pa
rade in Lodisville. Shortly there
after Mr. Axton received th^ follow
ing communication:
W1IK URGES UNION MEN TO
SMOKE ONLY UNION MADE GOODS
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 7,1921.
"Dear Wood:
"I was much surprised at your iden
tifying yourself so wholly with the
unions yesterday—
"Did you mean it? or was it just
for advertising purposes? If the lat
ter do you think it was well to do
this in an avowedly 'open shop' town?
The" town that on account of its open
shop principles, is easily the best busi
ness town today (wholesale and re
tail) of any comparative city in the
world.

In reply Mr. Axtoh sent the follow
ing, which undoubtedly shows his
views:
AXTON-FISHER TOBACCO CO
Louisville, Ky., Sept. 8, 1921.
Mr.
Furniture Co., City.
Dear Sir:
"I have your letter of the 6th inst.,
and contents carefully noted,
thought you knew me too well to ask
me when I do a thing, if I really
"meant it and in reply to your inquiry
will say that I meant it.
"For over twenty-two years I have
been in the tobacco business and I
have employed union Jabor and in all
that time I have found union labor
absolutely fair and ready to listen to
reason. On the other l^and I have
been approached .nd reapproacTied by
many men who claimed the right to
conduct their business as they saw
fit, but who objected to my conducting
my business as I saw fit, and in sum
ming up these men, I find that they
are a parcel of men who have simply
gone to seed on the subject of labor
I sometimes'have a great deal of sym
pany for them, always afraid of trou
ble vvilh their employes, most of them
never hu\yng learned how to get along
with their employes, most of them in
competent of conducting their own
business, but willing to help other
men conduct their business continual
ly i^tirrmg up discontent between em
ployes and employer by sending out
such circulars as you sent me 'of a
man who fifteen years ago had so,me
carpenter tell him to slow up on the
job down in North Carolina,' and I
doubt very much if there was any car
penters' union at that time affiliated
with the American Federation of La
bor in North Carolina. This won
derful story that you sent out re
garding the Missouri and North Ar
kansas railroad now being closed down
on account of labor is a fair exam
pie of the propaganda I receive here
every day.
"When I go to buy a pair of shoes
and I am asked $16.00 to $18.00"for
them and leather is cheaper than it
has ever been and I am told it is on
account of labor, yet, did you know
that on the finest shoes made for m^i
the laborer gets less than $1.25
pair for making them
"It is very much like the textile
manufacturer who opposed the mini
mum wage bill for women last year
at Frankfort, who at that time was
getting over 100 per cent more for
converting cotton into cloth than they
received .before the war. They said
they were now paying their labor 86
per cent more than they did before
the war, and any further advances
would tykve to be added to the cost of
the cloth. Another one of them wrote
a letter in which he said that working
girls having a surplus after contrib
uting their share of the upkeep of the
home began to lead a larger life and
were imperiled thereby. I do not
know whether this man has daughters
or not, but I know he is as soulless
as a fish and if you would stick
knife into him when you pulled out
you would find frost on the blade.
"Yes, sir, I meant to be in the
parade when I was invited and I felt

The Kentucky State Federation of
Labor in convention'assembled gave
attention to the above correspondence
and commended Mr. Axton highly for
his fair attitude and instructed the
secretary to forward copies of the cor
respondency to every organization
affiliated with the American Federa
tion of Labor', with a request that
they give it the widest publicity.
Secretaries are requested to have
same published in the labor press of
their respective district.
The basis of labor measurement is
called "traffic units per man hour."
In 1915, before the eight-hour system
became effective, these units were
represented by 82 in 1917, under the
eight-hour system, the units jumped
to 96 in 1919 they rose to 100, and,
in 1920 to 101.
The former director general said
that the railroads were in a deplorable
state when they were taken over by
the government, and were greatly im
proved under federal control. Mr.
Hines pointed out that under federal
control the roads were operated by
the same practical men who operated
them before the government toOk
tliem over and who are operating
them at present. In a report of Carl
R. Gray, director of operations of the
railroad administration, which Mr.
Hines quoted, the statement was made
that "one of the prime reasons why
the government had to take possession
of the railroads was the generally bad
condition of the locomotives and cars."
The report set forth that the "condi
tions were so bad that repair tracks
and terminals were congested with bad
order cars and shops and roundhouses
were so crowded with locomotives that
proper facilities for maintaining the
equipment were no longer available."
"The notion that the railroads were
broken down by the government is
wholly contrary to the facts," observ
ed Mr. Hines.
Mr. Hines is a practical railroad
man, having had large directing ex
perience With the Louisville and Nash-,
ville and Santa Fe railroads.

X,
honored to be selected by the labor
leaders of Louisville to ride with the
national secretary. Up to now I have
never'listened to the dictation of any
man nor have I let anyone interfere
with what I felt was right and I
do
not think I will begin now. The un
derscored notice sent out by the Ejn-S
ployers' Association with a sort
of
veiled boycott for my products has no
more effect upon me than pouring
water on a duck's back. I will be do
ing business when the red flag is
hanging in front of many of their
doors. I think I am fairly well ac
quainted with the leaders of the open
shop movement here and I think I
know something about how they have
prospered mostly in times of war and
I also think that I am quite as able
to handle my own business as they are
to handle theirs.
"For many years I have made a
tudy of fcHe condition of the people
who toil and produce, and the leaders
of this open shop propaganda which
in the main without truth and is
detriment to any community, and
where did you ge that stuff that
Louisville, on account of the open
shop principles is easily the best busi
ness town both wholesale and retail
in the world, and whoever told you
the open shop propaganda had added
one iota to the business was just
simply spoofing you, and if you believ
ed it you neeH a ^aretaker.
"Thanking you for sending me a
copy of the vejled boyqott and with
kindest personal regards and sympa
thy, I am,
"Yours sincerely,
