>, Monday, Apri #4 1924 WESTERN RAIL WAGES ADVANGE FIVE PER CENT 80 Cents A Day More; S. P. Line Excluded By LELAND OLDS. (Federated Press Industrial Editor.) ‘What price were the western rail- roads ready to pay for the modifica- tion of certain rules in their agree- ments with the conductors’ and train- men’s brotherhoods. That was the question settled in the course of some 20 days of bargaining behind closed doors in Chicago which resulted in a ‘wage increase of approximately 5 per , @ent. The total wage increase with- out deducting the economies due to changed rules will absorb less than one per cent of railroad revenue. Still Below 1921, This new agreement restores about half what the U. S. rail labor board took away in its 1921 wage cut deci- sion bringing the wage rates to a level not far below the peak established by the board in 1920. In exchange the - brotherhoods concede a modification in the rules governing overtime pay- ments and the freedom of manage- ment to make certain service arrange- ments which it feels to be more eco- nomical. These changes in rules will reduce punitive payments made to a considerable number of employes and will somewhat reduce the number of employes needed to, carry on the ser- vice. 30 Cents a Day More. Under the new agreement the fol- Towing increases become effective as of April 1, 1924: Passenger conduc- tors and trainmen, 30 cents a day in- crease, or 2 mills a mile, or $9 a month; freight conductors and train- men, 36 cents a day, 3.6 mills a mile; foremen, helpers and switchtenders in yard service, 32 cents a day. The agreement establishes a guar- anteed minimum daily wage to pas- senger train service employes. Ef- fective -May 1, when their monthly earnings from guarantees, mileage, overtime, and other rules do not pro- duce the following amounts per day, they will be paid for each day’s ser- vice performed as follows: conductors $7 a day, assistant conductors or tick- et collectors $5.80 a day, baggage men handling both express and dynamo $5.84 a day, baggage men operating dynamo $5.50, baggage men handling express $5.50, baggage men $5.16, flag- men and brakemen $5. Average Monthly Earnings. ‘The following table shows the prob- able monthly earnings which will re- sult from this increase calculated on the basis of the average monthly earn- ings for 1923 reported to the inter- state commerce commission: 1923: New average wage Passenger conductors $284 $245 ‘Passenger trainmen .. . 156 167 ‘Freight conductors ........... 228 241 ‘Freight trainmen .. 169 182 Yard foremen 191 - 200 Yard helpers 163-172 Switch tenders 129 «139 This wage agreement is similar to those already negotiated with the N. Y. Central and other eastern and southern roads. If. it is finally made general thru the entire transportation system affecting all train and engine service employes in the country boost in payroll will be not more than $40,- 000,000. This amount could be sacri- ficed out of profits without reducing the return on investment by more than one-fifth of 1 per, cent. And this year’s profits appear to be running ahead of last year's Southern Pacific Not In It. The only roads west of the Missis- sippi not included in the agreements are the Southern Pacific lines, the Denver & Rio Grande, the Northwest- ern Pacific, the Chicago & Alton, the Chicago Great Western, and the Min- neapolis & St. Louis. ‘ Agreements along similar lines with the remaining carriers both east and west should follow shortly for many managements have been marking time awaiting the result of the Chicago conference. It was known that the western roads would put up the stif- fest resistance against a wage in- crease at this time. ‘The engine service men have also had their eyes on this conference gauging the attitude of the western managements by its progress, The next important move will probably come from the engineers and firemen in the western territory.

The Japanese govéfnment’s warn- ing, transmitted thru Ambassador Hanihara, that passage of the anti- Jap clause would “inevitably bring grave consequences,” was practical- ly ignored by the congressmen, many of whom would welcome war with Japan for the sake of the orgy of profiteering it would bring. The issue is now coming before the Senate which is excited ove the bristling language employed by the Japanese envoy. Senator Hiram Johnson of Cali- fornia, is eagerly exploiting this is- sue and announced that he will take the floor today to reply to the am- bassador and to rebuke Hughes for his mild. answer to Tokyo.

LABOR PRISONERS’ AD REJECTED BY Helps Capitalists Keep Workers In Jail Lest there be still a lingering doubt in the minds of any worker as to where the New York “Forward” be- longs, the management of that paper puts all doubt to rest by its action in refusing to accept for publication an advertisement of the Third Annual International Bazaar, for Defense of |Class War Prisoners, to be neld April 10 thru 13 at Centra? Opera House, 67th Street and Third Avenue. Copy for the advertisement which was sent accompanied by cash was accepted Monday forenoon at the offi- ce of the “Forward” and the bearer given a receipt for the money. On Tuesday when the advertisement did not appear in the columns of the “Forward” inquiry was made at its office by a representative of the Na- tional Defense Committee who was informed that all advertisements of the Defense Bazaar would be barred from the columns of the Jewish “So- cialist” daily. The money accepted the day before was thereupon refund- ed. For Deportees and Prisoners. The Third Annual International Ba- zaar is being staged for the purpose of raising funds for its defense work by the Naticnal Defense Commii:ee, an organization that has done yeo- man service in the defense and relief of class war prisoners and deportees and which has the indorsement of many union bodies thruout the coun- \try. In fact, a number of New York unions are now in active co-operation with the Nationel Defense Committee to make the bazaar a success. Many have donated money, material and fin- ished goods, while hundreds of trade unionists are daily giving of their time in the Millinery Group, the Dressmakers Group and other groups engaged in turning out finished goods out of the contributed material. Defense Integrity Not Issue. © . The “Forward” in’ refusing the ad- vertisement of the Bazaar does not question the integrity of the National Defense Committee. Nor has any one else ever expressed the slightest doubt as to the manner in which the work of the National Defense Com- mittee is conducted. No question has ever been raised as to the high char- acter of its officers. Its books are regularly audited and every cent rais- ed has been carefully accounted for.

(Eagle Oil—a Shell concern), was given ten days to clear out. Now it is discovered that Ra- mon Sierra Pando, a Spaniard, ac- tively aided the revolutionary forces. He will be deported. Thru a fairly well developed spy system the government had discov- ered that Eugene T. Bailey, a British subject, and John de Kay (the fa mous one who bought arms and am- munition for the bloody Victoriano Huerta) were implicated in a plot to furnish de la Huerta with arms to be bought from the British firm Hus- band Snelling Co. Documents found on Bailey prove unmistakably his aid to the rebel forces. He was ar- rested in Laredo and is now in a mili- tary prison. He will probably be de- ported. Russians Honor Lenin By Sending ' Food To Germans MOSCOW, April 13.~The workers of Moscow have given special proof of their proletarian solidarity with the workers of Germany in the manner in which they honored the memory of their beloved leader, Lenin. Instead of buying wreaths for his grave, the workers of Sokolniki and Samoskworetzky suburbs gave 365.83 gold roubles toward the purchase of bread and flour for the starving Ger- mans, In Gabrolet the workers labored extra on Sunday and used their pay, which amounted to 285.52 gold roubles for the same purpose. Numerous other workers in fact- ories made collections in memory of Lenin and then contributed the grand totals toward the purchase of food for the German workers. ‘The Russian workers felt that were Lenin alive, he himself would approve of the manifestation of international working-class solidarity expressed in this manner by his followers.

WOLFE, Federated Press Staff Correspondent. MEXICO CITY, April 13.—The Ob- regon government is taking energetic steps to prevent the large annual exo- dus of Mexican workers to the United | States. Unless the Mexican has a) good job assured him he will find it very difficult to cross the border in| the future. Too many have been fooled in the past. The regular mi- gration begins about April, when the agricultural fields, especially the beet helds, are ready to receive them. The labor contractors made fabu- course were never carried out. The Mexicans would come to the Ameri- | can job and find in place of the com-| fortable dwelling promised them: wretched huts with the most unsani- tary conditions, wages much lower than had been offered them, prices in the company stores much higher, so| that at the end of the season, when the Mexican was fired, he had not even enough money to go home with. Labor organizers have been sent to the border cities of Mexico, where many hundreds of Mexican workers are waiting to cross, to tell the workers what misery awaits them in the United States, to disillusion them be- fore it is too late. Ambassador Charles Warren, ap- pointed by President Coolidge to the Mexican post, is a big exploiter of Mexican labor on his’ Michigan sugar beet fields.

Armed March of 1921. The trouble occurred in August, 1921, when thoussands of miners and sympathizers, armed themselves and marched on McDowell, Logan and Mingo counties. This march was brot about after union miners had been killed by wholesale in these counties by the Baldwin-Felts detectives and other private gunmen that are still maintained there by the operators for that specific purpose. An industrial dispute was turning into civil war. The uprising was ended after several days’ fighting in the mountains. The nited States regular army disarmed the union men.. The coal barons’ pri- vate army remains. Bosses Financed Persecution. In 1922 a persecution almost pecu- liar to West Virginia was begun.

Recaber- ren and Luis Cruz spend precious little time in congress. Their prin- cipal job is to observe by turns the big strikes that are taking place in Chile against American enterprises. These powerful trusts, such as the Chile. Exploitation Co., are exert- ing pressure on the Chilean govern- ment to use troops against the strik- ers. : Everytime the troops take the offensive, one of the deputies rush- es back to congress to make the facts known from the public tri- bunal, while the other leaves con- gress to cover the strike.
