OLD AGEPENSION
Campaign Planned By O. S.
F. of L. in Session Last
Week—Ogjf Pres
ent
Stanley Ogg, seventh vice-president
of the Ohio State Federation of La
bor, returned Sunday from Columbus
where he attended a session of the
executive board of the federation held
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Friday and Saturday's sessions were
devoted almost wholly to the discus
sion of plans for the old age pension
campaign. The reports from the com
mittees from all over the state indi
cate wide and enthusiastic interest in
the question. The educational cam
paign in which tons of literature will
be prepared and spread broadcast is
being carefully mapped out and looms
up big. The board decided to employ
Timothy Hogan, former state attor
ney-general, to assist Judge Okey, of
Columbus, in drafting an old age pen
sion initiative bill which will

Herbert S. liigelow, of Cincinnati,
and who has given the question of old
age pension as much thought and
earnest effort as has any man in tin
country, was present and took act
ive part in all discussions of the move
ment.
On Saturday the board prepared a
tentative questionnaire which will be
submitted to all candidates for the
United States senate, congress, mem
bers of the judiciary and the general
assembly. The questionnaire was
^idopted at Sunday's session, which
was given over entirely to the discus
sion of the non-partisan political cam

CIGAR MAKERS
3f Cincinnati Make Success
of Co-Operative Plan
As an example of what co-operation
will do all that is necessary is to point
to the cigar makers of Cincinnati and
what they have accomplished. Many
months ago the Cincinnati cigar man
ufacturers by their actions forced the
igar makers to go on strike in effort
to maintain decent living conditions.
After being out for some weeks the
workers woke up to ttyj fact that the
stand of the employers was really one
to smash the union. The men decided
to launch into business for themselves
in order to give employment for those
on strike.
The Cigar Makers' Co-Operative
Co. was formed, and its success has
been beyond all dreams. The Cigmaco
and CCC cigars are the brands turn
out by the company, and are not
only favorite brands in Cincinnati but
11 the surrounding territory and
throughout the country they
are
oming popular and meeting
be
a
big
lemand. During the year 1921 two
md one-half billion of these cigars
were turned out. That is going some.
The Cigmaco and CCC cigars are ex
ellent quality cigars at popular
prices, and are deserving of
the
tronage of every union man.

RAILROAD ACT
IGNORED
Cheap Wage Advocates
Would Overlook Law in
Defense of Demands
For Cut
New York.—In defending low-wage
demands of railroad managers the
New York Times joins with these
managers in ignoring the Cummins
Esch act which authorizes the railroad
labor board to establish "just and
reasonable" wage rates. The Times'|
editor says:
The (Cummins-Esch) statute sets!
seven standards for the fixing of a
fair wage. The first of them is: "The
scale of wages paid for similar kinds
of work in other industries.' There is
not a word in the statute about 'a
living wage,' or a standard wage or
union wages. The railway workers
have set up these and other extra
legal demands on scale beyond the|
capacity of the industry to support.'
The editor is incorrect when hel
says the Cummins-Esch act "sets
seven standards for the fixing of a
fair wage." Neither is mention made
of 'a fair wage.' The act calls for
wages and working conditions which]
are just and reasonable." Neither
does the law authorize the board tol
onsider as a standard "the scales of
wages paid for similar kinds of work
in other industries." This claim is
identical with other low-wage advo
ates who would create the impres
sion that the railroad labor board is
commanded by law to base wages on|
other industries. Even certain mem
bers of the railroad labor board are]
aiding this propaganda.
The board has a free hand in I
wage adjustments. The law sets no
tandard, although seven suggestions
are made to the board which shall be
onsidered, "so far as applicable."
This leaves it entirely in the judg-|
ment of the board, as shown by the|
following clear declaration 'of the
law (Sec. 307, paragraph D):
'All the decisions of the laborl
board in respect to wages or salaries
and of the labor board or an adjust
ment board in respect to working con
ditions of employes or subordinate!
officials of carriers shall establish
