|VmNNJPE6, Man.—The decision
I of the Vancouver City Council
[to broadcast notices on the prairies,
I warning harvesters that, they need
[expect no unemployment relief on
.'he Coast this winter, ls sending
■bold shivers down the spines- of
1 Winnipeg aldermen, who fear Van-
J-jouver's warning may result in the
Harvesters deciding to remain here
por the winter.
Acting Mayor McLean has informed Winnipeg's unemployment
Committee that they "would do
veil to have a statement published
thp press notifying ail persons
bf their policy against helping nonresidents," and that they "should
lose no time in getting the news
jtbroad". Alderman Kerchar adds
p.is voice to the general whine and
ays: "We should make haste, to
broadcast our Intention of giving

Thousands ot harvesters are
keeded every year to garner the
props, and when that job is competed the devil himself could not

/"VPTAWA, Ont—Should workers
arm to defend themselves
against hostile forces during industrial disputes? That question
was one of the most heatedly debated proposals that came before
the Canadian Trades Congress at
its recent sessiops here. The resolution, which was sponsored by
Luscar Local 356, U.M.W. of A.;
London Trades and Labor CouncU; Glace Bay Local 4718, UJM.W.
of A.; Halifax Trades and Labor
Council, and Machinists' Lodge
No, 235, Toronto, reads:
"Whereas, recent disturbances
ln Cape Breton, which culminated
in the killing of William Davis
and the wounding bf several of
his fellow workers, was directly
attributable to the provocation of
BESCO'S armed company police;
and whereas, but for their presence and their brutal efforts to
cow the workers, there is little
likelihood that any violence or
disorder would have ensued.
Therefore, be it resolved, that this
convention of the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada demand
Immediate and drastic legislation
prohibiting corporations trom
maintaining armed forces; and be
lt further resolved, that failure to
secure adequate legislation to thts
effect will compel the trades unions of Canada to take such steps
as may be necessary to protect
their own members during strikes,
lockouts and similar disturbances."
After a very heated discussion
on the merits and demerits of
strikers arming to protect themselves against company police,
thugs and state soldiery, the resolution was amended by striking
out the last clause, beginning with
the words, "and be it further resolved." The vote in favor of the
amendment was 95 for, 56 against.
A forecast by A. G. Walkden,
fraternal delegate from Qreat
Britain, that British labor may
one day stop the wheels of industry in order to prevent war,
elicited a round of applause. Mr.
Walkden said:" "We may have
some day to say to a reactionary
government: Tour policy may result in an armed conflict somewhere in Europe. If you are going to war, we are going to stop
the wheels of industry. There
shall be no more war." Mr.
Walkden also stated that the tide
was turning in favor of the British Labor Party, and that he expected labor to be in power as
well as in office after next election. He regarded the coal,miners' victory as the "crowning
triumph" of the British trade unioni movement.
A resolution calling for the
amendment of the Trades Congress constitution so that it would
admit to membership "any body
of workers in Canada who are
organized along trade or industrial lines, ln a functioning national or international union," was
voted ,down after some considerable discussion. This resolution,
if passed, would have permitted
Congress to affiliate national and
local unions.
Resolutions calling for a legal
holiday of two weeks' duration,
with pay, for all workers in all
industries; legal eight-hour day;
abolition of injunctions, ajnd prevention of troops being used in
industrial disputes, were passed.
A resolution favoring autonomy
for Canadian locals of International unions, wus voted down
after considerable debate.
A resolution favoring the prohibition of the sale or manufacture of narcotic'drugs was passed,
during the discussion of which
some caustic comment on Britain's policy ot forcing opium on
the world was made.
The number of members affiliated to congress was given as
106,912, as compared with 117,-
060 in 1924. and 81,68 in 1918.
Receipts for the year amounted
to $23,274.41, and total expenditures 120,938.34.

.abor Delegates Not
Distinguished Visitors
OTTAWA—That labor delegates,
I'hether they be "red" or "yellow",
ftould not be considered "distin-
uished visitors" is the opinion of
Ottawa's City Solicitor.
Ottawa's City Council voted $400
|. help defray expenses in connec-
lon with the Trades Congress con-
jntion, ln this city, but now an
(fort is being made to have this
rant rescinded. In evplainlng the
Ituatlon to the City Council, the
ity Solicitor explained that it was
prmissable to make small grants
entertain distinguished visitors,
hd that these grants had been
|ade to fete "Lord Haig and other
ninent visitors," but that in his
l.inioh existing legislation did not
ermit entertaining delegates to a
invention.
JThe question now ls: "What
lould be the position of the Ot-
Jtwa City Council had the Prince
If Wales (who some time ago was
]mde honorary member of a cer-
iln trade union) attended the
Ion vention as a delegate?"
TORONTO—It has been announced here that the United Farmer's Co-operative Co., Ltd. is* contemplating an arrangement whereby it will become the distributive
agency in Canada for the Co-operative Wholesale Society of Manchester, England.
The Co-operative Wholesale Society ls the largest wholesale cooperative Institution in the world,
and together with the Scottish Cooperative Wholesale Society embraces a membership of almost
5,000,000.
The United Farmer's Co-operative is asking local co-operatives
and farmer organizations throughout Ontario whether they are desirous that the proposal should be
carried into effect

Canadian Seamen Now
Cheaper Than Japanese
(By Federated Press).
MONTREAL—The British Empire Steel Corporation is returning
to China the coolies that have
manned its boats since the war.
The system proved a costly experiment. On one ship four murders
were committed ln one night.
Many Chinese outwitted the guards
employed to keep them on the
ships, and the company had to
pay heavy fines as well as head
taxes.
But the company, assisted by the
depression, appears to have achieved its purpose. Wage rates have
been smashed until Canadian sailors on thei Atlantic Coast are once
again preferable to coolies. So
for service rendered during the
war, the Canadian sailor ls coming
into his own again—long hours and
a meagre wage.
NEW TORK — (FP) — Every
trade union, religious and fraternal organization in New York City
will be visited ln the union label
campaign, the Central Union Label
Counoil of Greater New York is
conducting, says a statement by
that body. Large general committees have been apointed to handle the work ln each of the five
boroughs. The drive for label products in the metropolis is part of
the national campaign instituted
by the Union Label Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor.
Open air meetings will be held
and moving picture shows used,
where possible, for 5-minute talks.
Fire will be directed not merely
against non-label goods, as such',
but at cheap foreign goods and
the products of prison labor.
MONTREAL—The Spanish River Pulp and Paper Mills Ltd. has
a strong hatred of trade union organizers, the material basis for
which is revealed in the annual
report of the company, recently
made public here.
For the year ended June 30th,
1925, this company paid 17.7 per
cent, on the common stock, and
had a surplus of nearly a million'
dollars left over when the bondholders received their proportion
of dividends. In addition to this,
the working capital of the company was enhanced to the extent
of -1400,000, a,nd the funded debt
reduced by a further $676,386.
The owners of the Spanish River
Pulp and Paper Co. have very
good reasons for being class conscious.

Wales1 Man Friday
Enters Alberta
Politics
r-DMONTON, Alta.—British roy-
alty has entered Alberta poll-
tics with a bang, and the hopes
of the Conservative party are
soaring high. Mr. Carlyle, manager of the Prince of Wales'
ranch, has been nominated to contest the High River constituency
on the Conservative ticket at the
forthcoming federal election. Carlyle told the nominating oonvention that his "chiof" had o.k'd.
his candidature.
Already the Calgary Herald and
the Edmonton Journal have named
the prince's hired man as a probable member of the Conservative
cabinet.
Doubtless Canadian railroads,
and other employers of labor desirous of importing an even greater army of unemployed with
which to cut wages, will welcome
with delight this valuable acquisition to the ranks of the Conservatives. They can be assured that
the "smiling prince," and hence
his protege, will, do all he can to
relieve the labor congestion in the
old land and thus make his position as heir-apparent more secure.
Mr. Carlyle, if elected, will not
be troubled with financial worries. The pi-inco's ranch isn't
mortgaged.
No great wrong ever yet was
righted by the class deriving profit from it, but always by the revolt of the victims.—Lyman Abbott

(By Federated Press.)
OTTAWA. — Representation of
the great railway labor organizations on the board of the Canadian National Railways was advocated by Premier King before tho
Dominion legislative board or the
Brotherhood of Locomotvo Firemen & Enginemen. Labor, now

speaking before the same body,
said he believed in labor unions,
but did not know whether he fa-

not studied the international unions, he added.
Among the resolutions was one

City Voters' List To
Close On Sept. 14th
Is your name on the civic voter's
list? If not get busy. The list
closes on September 14th, and
those who do not take the precaution of registering before that
dale will be unable to vote at next
municipal elections.
This fact was brought to the
attention of the Vancouver Building Trades Council at their last
meeting, and all delegates were requested to bring the matter before
their respective unions and remind
them of the date—September 14th.
Labor must not be behind in this.
The conditions under which certain municipal work will be done
next year depends on the composition of the City Council. Get on
the list, and see that labor is fully
represented!
The Building trades committee
reported having interviewed the
City Council, and enquired whether a fair wage clause was being
inserted in the Isolation Hospital
contract. The Council replied in
the affirmative, and the committee then asked that instead of inserting a fair wage clause it be
made union scale of wages. This
proposal was refused.
Fraser Valley Dairy
The committee also interviewed
the, Fraser Valley Dairy contractor, and succeeded in having the
tinsmith work done by union labor.
As a result of this the Sheet Metal Workers have taken in some
new members This job is still employing a non-union engineer.
The Plasteres reported having
initiated three new members, and
had fined one man $50, for working on Saturday. The Plasterers
have a five day week.
The Lathers reported making
preparations for an organizing
drive, and hoped to be able to report 100 per cent, organization at
next meeting.
Mill Workers Progressing
The Mill Workers reported having initiated 28 new members at
their last meeting, and that one
shop in New Westminster had
signed up 100 per cept.
It was* reported that the builders
of the Vancouver Heights Theatre
had undertaken to make the job
fair to all building trade workers.
Don't forget that the municipal
voter's list closes on the 14th of
this month. See that your name
is on the list this time.
S. P. of C. Propaganda
Meetings
The Socialist Party of Canada
will hold a propaganda meeting in
the Columbia Theatre, Hastings
Street, on Sunday evening, Sept.
ibth, at 8. p.m.
Jack Harrington will be the
Speaker. Comrade Harrington is a
close student of history and of the
problems which are perplexing the
minds of the workers. This is the
first meeting of what is hoped to
be a series of meetings extending
through the fall and winter
months, and with which some of
the other political parties may cooperate.
F. L. P. Activities
Next business meeting of the
Vancouver branch of the Federated Labor Party will be held at
319 Pender Street west.
The holding of Sunday evening
propaganda meetings will be discussed. We have already a number of prospective speakers from
Eastern Canada and Great Britain.
The Federal election campaign
will be going full swing very shortly and the Labor candidates will
require all the assistance the workers can give.
All members and those wishing
to become members are asked to
attend and give a hand in the work.
C. L. P. Special Meeting
(By Federated.Press)
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—American capitalists no longer dare
operate their machinery at 100
per cent, capacity, said Frank Morrison, secretary of the "American
Federation of Labor, in a Labor
Day address to the union men and
women gathered here from eight
cities of northern Florida. He declared that the low wages which
these, capitalists insist on paying
are insufficient to enable the workers to buy back the things they
create, and that they have adopted
the regulation of output as a cure
for their folly in throwing the* market out of balance.
He quoted the Wall Street Journal as urging regulation of production because "the country today can turn out more Steel, more
coal, more copper, more automobiles, etc., than the demand calls
for. If all of these industries permitted capacity operation, prosperity would be short lived."
Company unions, employers'
'. schemes for giving group insurance to their employees, and
schemes for selling stock in the
employing company to the employees, were named by Morrison as
three of the chief methods adopted in recent years by ani-union
employers to break down existing
unionism and to prevent the advance of the labor movement into new territory. He recommended the plan of life insurance adopted by the recent conference of
executives of the A. F. of L. unions,
as being free from any danger of
tying men to their bosses and their
jobs regardless of wages and conditions given.
NEW YORK—(FP)—That the
boycott against British goods
which is one of the weapons of
the Chinese strikers, is hitting its
target, is admitted by British textile owpers,' quoted in -New York
textile journals. Before the trouble
started, British worsted and woolen manufacturers were finding an
Increasing market in <, China, and
this market is now badly shot.
The Importance of the ma ket
now crippled by the Chinese reslstence* is shown in an interview
with H. Sutcliffe Smith, member of
the executive committee of the directors of the Bradford Dyers' Association. For the year ending
December 31, 1924, he said, a total
of 9,8.2,163 Pounds Sterling of
wool'eri 'and worsted goods was
shippe'd to China. "The dislocation
of this business with China," he
continued, "will be all the more
keenly felt, as trade generally in
the British woolen and worsted industries is unsatisfactory."

"• wisdom and advice, of questionable value, to readers of the
Daily Province, takes umbrage at
Trades Congress delegates because
they cheered on hearing that British Labor might stop tbe wheels
of industry if war was declared.
Butterfleld's fighting will be done
mostly on the keyboard of a typewriter, and not very effectively
even with Aat. He states that the
workers are the first to catch the
"military fever". Probably our observation may be superficial, bnt
we have noticed that war is generally declared.by certain gentlemen who lack the physical stamina
of doing fifteen minutes bard graft
at the bottom of a sewer ditch, or
the dexterity of swinging a pick..
• • *
WORKERS do not "take" the
" military feyer. They have it
drilled into them, and pen-pushers
of the Butterfield stamp are chief
among the drillers, gome of them
are even Impervious to the drilling process, and then our journalistic columnists lend their aid in
having them forced into the fighting. It is well that Canadian Labor should cheer at such heartening news. It shows that there are
at least some workers waking up.
Doubtless that fact ls a serious matter to those who write for publications like the Dnily Province. It
presages that they may have to
perform useful work. Butterfield
has good reasons, to feel peeved.

TTAROLD DOLLAR, manager of

is now espousing the cause of nn-

wants a "strong man," meaning
one who will prevent the faotory
workers from striking against being treated like dogs, and working
for less than a living wage. He
is troubled because there are too
many soldiers in China, and that
they act like ordinary human mortals, by not aU fighting on the same
side. But what really troubles Dollar is trade, and the Chinese strike
nnd the boycott threatens to ruin
that. .Should a working class dictator arise, Dollar would be the
first to cry out against him.

Western capitalism has little to

they proved sufficiently modern to
beat the Japanese mill owners to

recognize their unton. They also
succeeded in making even the

LABORERS ON STRIKE
NIAGRA FALLS, N. T.—Building trades laborers at Niagara Falls
went on strike for uniform wages
and recognition of their union, including a signed agreement. Six
additional building trades crafts
went out ln sympathy. The Department's representative reports
that the strike was oalled off ln
a few days on the old terms.
rpHE FEDERAL ELECTION is drawing near, and the sham
battle of words has commenced. Mackenzie King is growling across the lists at Arthur Meighen, and the latter is grunting back the same hoary refrain that has served his party for
the past fifty years. Meighen charges King with everything
from malpractice to common imbecility, and King replies in
kind. This constitutes the- only truth the working class of
Canada will be told during the election. Neither have anything to offer, nor would they offer anything if they had it.
Elections are not held for that purpose. The chief object is
to delude the workers into the thought that they are the ones
who decide. True, both sides have policies aplenty. They
have tariff policies, railway policies, senate reform policies,
and a hundred and one other nostrums equally unrelated to
the needs of the working class, all of which are proffered as
the one elixir that can save the country and the population
from perdition, in much the same manner that a quack doctor
beguiles the unsuspecting into buying his cure-all medicine.
• • ■' • . • •
MACKENZIE KING has done his four-year shift, and asks
to be returned because of his good record. What this
good record consists of is difficult to discover. During his
regime the farmers have sunk further in debt to the mortgage
companies. Unemployment is, if anything, worse than when
he took office. Wages are somewhat lower. Youthful immigrants have been enticed into the country by the luring propaganda of his government, and have met conditions that
caused some of them to commit suicide. Under his benign
rule the British Empire Steel Corporation announced its intention of starving into submission some twelve thousand
workers and their families if they refused to work for less
than a living wage. When the miners attempted to defend
themselves against armed thugs who had murdered one of
their comrades, his government rushed troops into the strike
area to beat them back into the mines. While he held court
in Ottawa, Jim MacLachlan was sentenced to the penitentiary
for telling the truth. One thing Mackenzie King has succeeded admirably in doing, is making the poor poorer and the
rich richer. He has been a faithful servant to those who
own him.
• t • • ' •
ARTHUR MEIGHEN, auctioneer of "protection," has an
equally lovely record to offer the working class of Canada.
Jn the hectic days of the war he was one of those who assisted
in sending thousands of Canadian workers to Europe to shed
their life blood for the enrichment of Wall Street's financial
kings. He was an ardent advocate of conscription of human
life for war purposes, but unlimited protection for those who
reaped fortunes out of the carnage. He assisted in rushing
through the House of Commons legislation for the deportation without trial of those -who dared to fight for a living
wage. He was "Bob" Borden's right-hand man when under
that gentleman's august sway a number of workers were
arrested ami sent to jail for demanding collective bargaining,
and at the time when agents of the government—the Scarlet
Riders of the Plains—swooped down in the dead of night and
ransacked dozens of workers' homes in an effort to secure
evidence against those already arrested.
• " • • t •
T ABOR has nothing to expect from either of these two babbling mental pigmies, who would be more in line with their
natural bent if they were operating peanut roasters. They are
but pawns in the hands of the money lords and rich manufacturers, who own the country and its vaunted natural resources.
They are not" concerned about the working class, except to
fleece them as expeditiously as possible. Those who toil in
forest and factory, field and-mine, need expect nothing save
what they have received in the past—kicks. They have thrown
overboard the eight-hour day, old-age pensions, and everything else that might in any way have ameliorated the lot of
the working class. This fact is not mentioned in their election
speeches, and for very good reason. Whether or not Labor
members may be able to 'achieve anything beneficial to their
class by participating in the parliament of their masters, they,
at least, can do no worse, and offer the possibility of doing
better. Election day is drawing near. See that your name is
on the voters' list, and when the day comes support the representative of your class. You have nothing to lose by so doing,
and everything to gain.
Book Review
STEPS TO POWER
Tim Buck, Toronto
A I/THOUGH thousands of books
are published every year, yet
seldom does one appear dealing
with such -a vital topic as the trade
union movement; and when such a
volume fides make an apearamce,
it frequently proves to be either
an empty superficial prolusion to
the subject, or else the studied
poison propaganda of an agent of
the master class.
Treatises on trade unionism in
Canada are conspicuous by their
absence. Little if any effort1 has
been made to analyzse and put in
everyday language the true facts of
the many problems confronting
organized labor in this country. A
need existed for a clear exposition
of the fundamental problems with
which Canadian workers are grappling. .This requirement has been
met by Comrade Tim Buck, of Toronto, in his booklet "Steps to Pow-
er," a booklet which, although not
as bulky as many of the cenotaphs
to twisted intellects that decorate
the bookstalls, contains a wealth
of facts, relating to Canada's industrial life, carefully arranged
and analyzed from the Marxian
viewpoint.
Only those who have combed
through the uninviting pages of
government and company reports,
and records of various kinds can
appreciate the time and patience
the author must have expended
in collecting his material. Whether
it be facts of trade union history,
statements by labor officials, viewpoints and philosophies expounded by various organizations, oompany reports, or figures from government publications, if the writer required it to complete the picture he draws, or to prove the
point he wishes to make clear, he
pursued his quest until lt was secured.
These facts have been carefully
fitted into their proper plaoe by
tiie author, and on this firm rock
of realities he builds his arguments
and outlines his plan for the betterment of those who toll. Each
chapter deals comprehensively yet
compactly with the subject allotted to it.
No phase of the question ls omitted. Starting with a brief resume
of the beginnings of trade unionism, it t-pces the development of
this bulw/jfj^of the working class,
the ecoppffiic cause of certain
moves by, the- capitalists, and the
consequent defensive policies of the
workers, down to the problems
facing us today, and what we must
do to protect ourselves from those
who in thetr mad haste for plunder, would grind us in the dust.
Couched ln Clear cut language,
free from ostentatious oratory, and
flamboyant verbiage, this Uttle
book is a valuable contribution to
working elass thought. It is a
genuine Marxian product, not trom
the point of borrowed phrases so
common ln tills country, but in its
method of analysis. It is founded
on the rock of objective realities,
and from that firm foundation, by
inductive logic, the author points
to undeniable conclusions
Tbe price is only fifteen cents,
and no student of working class
problems can afford to go without

BRITAIN YIELDS IN SHANGHAI;
NATIVE BOSSES NOW UNDER FIRE
CHANGHAI, China—Isolated hy
the shrewdness of Chinese diplomacy which has played one Imperialist!, power against another,,
flrst separating America from Japan nnd British interests, then
forcing Japan to settle her end of
the Shanghai strike and leave
Great Britain to fight alone, the
British in Shanghai have finally
been forced to surrender, forego
their arrogance and yield at least
partially to the demands of the
Chinese.
At a mass meeting of the Shanghai British chamber of commerce
and the China Association (alien in
composition) the British voted unanimously to abandon their former
stiff-necked attitude, to favor the
full terms of the Washington conference (which is a wily trick of
American imperialism rather than
ahy help to China, it must be said)
yielding the mixed court to Chinese
control and Chinese representation
ln the Shanghai municipal counoll.
It is to be noted that the Chinese
unions are talcing up the strike
weapon they* have learned to use
against the Japanese and British,
and are now demanding and forcing the Chinese owned industries
and establishment to grant wage
increases similar, to those the foreign imperialists were compelled
to grant.
The strikers are-demanding: 1.
Recognition of th* existing trade
unions without waiting for the
promulgation of the necessary law
for this purpose. 2. Immediate
payment of $1.00,000 as payment
for the strike days. 3. Immediate
payment of $10,000 as compensation to the relatives of those killed
and wounded by Chinese soldiers
and police during the strike. At
the same time the trade union
council demands from the government that it pass a law embodying
the demands of the workers.
Three labor newspapers have
been prohibited from publishing,
and an order has been issued that
all papers must deposit a bail of
$1,000. This means the end of he
workers press.
The strike agalnBt the British
mills and shipping still continues,
and the capitulation of the British
has yet to be put into effect there,
but even this is over-shadowed ly
the ■ persistent effort of the unions
to force the nativo mill owners to
grant the wage raises the unions
have already forced out of the
alien owners.

OOBPOBATION OF POINT OBEY
Bosses' Plan Exposed
By Liberal Economist
"The deliberate intensification
of unemployment."
This is programme which the
British capitalist class has laid
out to be followed until parity
between British and American
money prices has been reached,
according to the pamphlet, "The
Economic Consequences of Mr.
Churchill," just issued by the Hogarth Press.
The author is no "bloody Bol-
shie," but the very respectable J.
M. Keynes of Bloomsbury, Liberal
party propagandist, part owner of
the Liberal weekly, The Nation,
and famed in West End parlors
as an economist,
Mr. Keynes's argument is, in
effect, that since Mr. Churchill,
British chancellor, has raised the
exchange price of sterling by lu
per cent., the Industrial magnates,
including tbe coal owners, who
now find themselves at a 10 per
ceflit. disadvantage in the foreign
markets, intend to take that 10
per cent, out of the hides of the
workers for the purpose of "evening up."
The pamphlet points out that
industry (industrial capital) is now
at the mercy of the bankers (finance capital), who, through their
control of credit, are resolved on
the deflation of the price of all
commodities, which includes, of
course, labor.
Mr. Keynes's economics are naturally liberal—that is, they tend
to favor the old-style individualist
manufacturers—but his exposure
is sufficiently cold-blooded to afford convincing proof that British
workers must not only unite to
hold their present ground, but to
abolish a system which has reached the limit in waste, chaos and
merciless brutality.

Painters' Convention
Shows Healthy Growth
(Special Correspondence)
MONTREAL — The thirteenth
general convention of the International Brotherhood of Painters,
Decorators, and Paperhangers
opened ..here on Labor day, with
about 700 delegates from the United States and Canada present.
Those attending the convention declared that in the 38 years of the
union's existence, no more optimistic spirit had been displayed than
that which marked the opening of
this convention.
The report of G. F. Hendrick
contained a message of progress
since the last convention, held in
1921. Mr. Hendrick stated that
approximately 30,000 members of
the Brotherhood were enjoying the
five day week, and emphasized
that wherever this condition obtained the results were most satisfactory to the members, because
this gave them a better opportunity
to protect themselves against the
inroads of occupational diseases,
such as affect the painter through
being forced to work in materials
which are injurious. He also pointed out that the Brotherhood was
now the fifth largest union in the
A. F. of L.
General Secretary C. J. Lammert
in his report stressed the fact that
not only had the Brotherhood
weathered the storms in recent
years, in the face of aggressive
and desperate efforts on the part
of the employers to again establish
the wages of serfs and mendicants,
but showed an actual gain in membership since 1921 of more than
25,000.

Open Shop Menaces
New York Unionism
NEW YORK—(FP)—That jobs
of organized craftsmen in New
York City are menaced by the
abundance of open shop work in
surrounding communities is again
emphasized by a full page advertisement of open shop plants in
Connecticut now appearing for the
second time in the Hartford Courant. It blares forth an array of
contracting and manufacturing
concerns under the 8-column caption "Firms Operated on the Open
Shop Plan." The list includes
building contractors, electrical,
plumbing, painting, printing, lithographing and photo-e,ngraving
contractors—all in lines that are
predominately union ln New York.
This policy of rubbing the open
shop stuff into the reading public
may provoke an unexpected result.
(By Federated Press.)
LONDON.—An unofficial strike
of seamen in London a,nd Hull
against the recent $5 a month cut
in wages protests the agreement
between the shipowners and the
National Sailors' and Firemen's
union. Some 2B00 seamen Jt>ave
demonstrated in Poplar, London,
against the action of the union
officials in accepting the cut
"without consulting the rank and
file."
Another incident which has
caused resentment is the holding
of an "industrial peace dinner"
by the shipowners and the National Sailors' and Firemen's union, shortly after the cut, "with a
view to marking excellent relations that exist between the shipowners and seamen."
American Federation
Acts On Immigration
WASHINGTON— (F P)—-Among
the conferences held very quietly
in Washington recently by Moto-
sada Zumoto, a Tokio editor who
has come to America to promote
better relations between the two
countries, was one with 20 officials
of the American Federation of Labor and affiliated labor bodies.
Zumoto urged that American labor help repeal the ban on Japanese immigration. Secy. Morrison
for the A. F. of L., replied that
American labor would never consent to lower the bars to any immigration from countries of a lower wage standard.
Decision that the workers of
Mexico and the United States are
entitled to freedom of locomotion
from one country to the other, but
that the labor movements of the
two nations must see that they do
not impair each other's trade union structures by cheap wage rates
or otherwise, was reached in the
conference between American Federation of Labor officials and the
representatives of the Mexican Regional Federation of Labor, in session in Washington. When a Mexican worker comes to the United
States he is to be called upon,
both by the A. F. of L„ and the
Mexican labor organizations to join
the A. F. of L. and maintain its
standards. When an American
worker goes to Mexico, he is to
join the Mexican union and abide
by its rules.
