Some 300 peoples had gathered |around Mulick’s home, many,of them |shouting “Scab” and reminded Mulick that he was taking bread from their |children’s mouths.

A long dagger was also found in Mulick’s house, GREEN OPPOSES GENERAL STRIKE IN ROTARY MEET Says Class Difference Not Irreconciliable DENVER, Colorado, June 18, — (By Mail.)—Speaking before the conven- tion of the Rotary International, Wil- liam Green, president of the American Federation of Labor and an honorary member of the Coshocton (Qhio) Rota- ry Club, pledged his influence to the convention of open shop Rotarians in preventing any general strike by mem- bers of the A. F. of L. or other Ameri- can workers. “So far as I can influence the poli- cies of this great organization,” said Green, “no general strike will be expe- rimented with where stich strike would involve the violation and abro- gation of wage agreements. Prefers No Strike Rather Than Oppose Government. “A general strike means that the line of industrial conflict is immedi- ately changed, so that the conflict be- comes a contest between employes and government rather than between em- Dloyes and employers. “When our fellow workers in Great Britain recently experimented in the use of the general strike in an effort to redress grievous wrongs, Which the miners of Great Britain were suffering, the- working people of America, in common with those in other,countries, watched its progress with great appre- hension and anxiety.” Leave Us Out, Green! “Today,” added Green, the Rotarian, drawing heavily upon his imagination, “the workers. of America sare more convinced than ever of the wisdom of the policies pursued by the:American Federation of Labor.” Rotary, said Green, has for its aims | the same humanitarian purposes as the Americann Federation of Labor— “the advancement of human welfare,” he added, clearing up any doubt as to whether the aims of the A. F. of L. are the same as those of the Rotari- ans. Proud of Class Collaboration. ““We are striving to bring about a spirit of co-operation and right rela- | tionship between the employers and the employes. We are proud of our accomplishments and we solicit your enthusiastic support.” Green sketched the development of class relationship between capital and labor and said that “some people” regard the difference between the two as irreconcilale. “But is it irreconcilablé?” Green questioned, then answered himself by saying, “It is possible so to conduct the affairs of industry and labor as to bring about and maintain the co-opera- tive relationship between them.” How Does This Help the, Worker? “There are strong evidences of this fact in many of the outstanding busi- ness and manufacturing enterprises in the United States. Many.,prominent and far-seeing employers and manag- ers have adopted progressive plans of operation which permit the employe to develop his efficiency ta its highest point, and to increase his productivity in ratio to this efficiency, Industry is complex, said,Green, and possibility exists of wrongs and in- justice “without anybody being to blame.” Live in Borough or Resign Is Brooklyn Edison Co.

U. E. L. Booklet Gets Low Down on Gary Not only does Judge Gary of the United States Steel Corporation bit- terly oppose labor unions in his steel |, mills of Gary, but it has a system of oppression of its own that Gary thinks makes even company unions unneces- sary. This is brot out in the brand- new pamphlet entitled “Company Unions,” written by Robert Dunn and having a concluding chapter by Wil- liam Z. Foster, steel strike leader, This pamphlet, published by the Trade Union Educational League of Chicago, has the following to say about condi- tions in the mills of the steel trust: Cold-blooded Oppression. The United States Steel Corporation has no company union, It doesn’t need one. It has every other welfare wrin- kle at work, purely ,to use Judge Gary’s own words, as “a business prop- osition.” It is “old-fashioned” in some of its methods; up-to-date in others. Judge Gary and his Labor Department know other tricks that work as well as committeees and which preserve the “military discipline” on which the corporation takes such pride. The blacklist and the discharges for union activity from which there is no appeal, operate in the corporation’s mills. The U. §S,,Steel autocracy is also important to a study of company unions ‘because its wages determine the wages in every other steel mill, no matter how much “discussion” there may be of wages and conditions in those other mills, or how extensive their plans for giving the workers the illusion that they are negotiating. From Colorado to Bethlehem, steel mills wait for Gary to decide what wages he will give his men. The in- dependent steel companies follow suit no matter how elaborate their system of “representation.” “Helfare” Work. The Steel Corporation is satisfied that its “Helfare” work, as the work- ers call it, will keep the loyalty of the men without any “industrial represen- tation.” Still the personnel profes- sionalists and the liberal economists are yelping at the corporation’s heels with advice as to the timeliness of such a plan. They point out that the strike antagonisms of 19 have had six years to cool, that the union is down and out, and hence the introduc- tion of a plan would not be looked upon as a palliative in lieu of real union recognition. They also intimate that “public opinion” is not so heated about Garyism as it was before 1923 when the longer hours were cut. But Gary budgets his welfare outlay carefully and he sees no reason why there should ever e any organiza- tion to challenge his power in the steel industry. Hence, why bother about committees? With barely 10,000 steel worker “aristocrats” organized out of more than 260,000 steel workers in his plants he should worry about a union ever forcing his hand! It may be added that Mr. Gary's social panacea, according to a recent | interview, is “the general adoption and practice of the Golden Rule.” We may add to the above quotation from this excellent little book that apparently the horrible: deaths suf- fered by the Gary workers at the Gary mills recently is an expression of the beauties of ‘the “golden rule” of Judge Gary. PAPCUN FACES SEDITION TRIAL MONDAY, JUNE 28 PITTSBURGH, Pa. June 20.— George Papcun will go on trial in Uniontown) Pa, Monday, June 28, charged with violating the Flynn Anti- Sedition Act. Attorney C, L, Davidson of Union- town and Isaac Ferguson of Chicago will defend Papcun in court. Papcun was arrested January 24, while addressing a Lenin Memorial meeting in Republic, Pa., a little min- ing town in Fayette county. He was released on $2,000 bail. Charleroi and Brownsville Central Labor Unions adopted resolutions of protest against the arrest and Gov. Pinchot ordered an investigation. The case was then dismissed. He was rearrested’ when he appeared in Brownsville to address a meeting ar- ranged by the International Labor De- fense and the American Civil Liberties Union. The arrest took place before he entered the hall, He was charged with violating the anti-sedition act. At the preliminary hearing before Squire McCombs of New Salem, Pa., the policeman who arrested Papeun was compelled under cross examin- ation to testify that the only thing Papcun did was to call on the people to organize and “to tell the Negroes that they are just as good as the white, workers.” 1.

Peoria also “did it.” Although the record for last week shows Peoria with 93 percent of thelr quota, we have since seen a few more subs from this busy little town that jazz made famous, which puts them well over their quota and PERHAPS ahead of Miami in the scrap for the banner from Berlin.
