An indication of what newspaper publishers trying to conduct non union shops have to contend with is aptly illustrated by an advertisement in ' the Publisher^’ Auxiliary calling foT help by the Herald-Courier, of Bristol, Va. This paper wants an operator for an ad machine in a “clean, sanitary office; open shop; but union man preferred.” Nothing could be more illuminating. This paper has been struggling along with a non-union outfit for the past two years, and the quotation above is an abject confession that the best printers are the ones possessed of a union card. BOSSES RAISE WAGES. Portland, M., July 18.—Employing plumbers’voluntarily raised wages to $1 an hour when these unionists called attention to the low rate in this city.

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. The following resolution was adopted at our Regular meeting of M'ill men’s Local 1803, held Satur day evening, July f4: ! Whereas, our honored- brother, K.< II. King, has been called to that home prepared by the Great Builder-; and, - Whereas, our departed brother had spent a long and useful life working for the advancement of his fellow man, and was dependent v.pon his labor for his livelihood, and believed that every man should nave a just reward for his labor, and reasonable conditions under which he worses; and, Whereas, our Local keenly feels the loss of such a noble character and great mind; and, Whereas, while our brother is with us no longer in body, yet we have that priceless privilege of cherishing his memory, and have his example to lead us on all through our remain ing days and that we may carry on the work he begun. N,ow, it is resolved, that we spread these resolutions upon our minutes, to become a portion of the permanent records of our organization, further, that we send a copy of same to the family of our deceased brother, and another copy be furnished The Char lotte Herald for publication. Ti C. Honeycutt, Wi. T. House, > . .. S. "E. Ashcraft, Committee. G. P. O. A WRECK. In resigning his position in the government printing office at Wash ington, D. C., Frank H. Long, presi dent of Columbia Typographical Union No. 101, says the . big print shop has become virtually a wreck I since the appointment of George H. Carter, public printer. That official who was selected from from a num ber of applicants in the field for the position at the beginning of the Harding administration, was taken from the office of the joint committee on printing, in which capacity he was serving as clerk. In the selection of a public printer the law is very clear and specific. Here it is: “The president ’ of the United States shall nominate and, by and with the advice and consent of the senate,' appoint a suitable person, who must be a practical printer and versed in the art of bookbinding, to take charge of and manage the gov ernment printing office — Revised Statutes, volume 28, page 603, sec tion 17, act January 12, 1895. It^is said that it has never been conclusively proven that Carter is eihter. If that W true, the reader can at once draw his own conclusion as to the suitability of the present in sumbent. The wholesale reduction resignation, separation, etc.—of the force at the big printery has been so great in the past two years that union printers employed in the down town district of Washington—those employed on the city papers and in job offices—are so in excess of the number at the government printing office it necessitated a reapportion ment of the delegates to the .annual convention of the International Ty pographical Union. This condition j never before prevailed in the history j of the printing fraternity in the j nation’s capital. The statement by President Long, of the typographical union, further concludes: Inquiries among the workers of feeling of discontent that is beyond belief. Certainly nothing like it ever existed before. Resignations among printers on account of these condi tions have been so numerous and constant that the force is almost a wreck, compard to former days, from the standpoint of efficiency. INDUSTRIAL COURT PATTENS UP REPORT \ « :__ Topeka, Kan., July 14.—The free employment unit of the state indus trial ^ourt is fattening its weekly re ports in the hope that this will pro long its life. * Most of the jobs handed ,out by the bureau are for a few hours’ work, such as mowing lawns or washing automobiles. For other work, wages in many cases are ridiculously low, and workers are threatened' with ar- . MOORESVIILE SAYS All IN READINESS Mooresviile, July 18—The Moores ville Textile Union elected delegates to the State Federation of Labor at it* last meeting. Those named to attend the state meeting are as fol lows: J. Hi Cranford, F. E. Coone and James T. Robertson. With this dele gation goes C. V. Jones, vice-presi dent of the state body. This will give M.ooresviUe an unusulaly strong delegation, for all the men named ate active trades unionists, and deeply interested in all affairs relating to the workers of the nation. Mapresville is making big prepa rations for the meeting of the Joint Council'of Textile Wforkers, to be held here on Saturday afternoon, August 28. A large delegation is ex pected, and Mooresviile will be dis appointed with anything less than a big crowd. New members are being added to our local all the while. Sometimes' we meet at an officer's house, and take in a number of new members. Mooresviile is blessed with an active crowd of unionists. It matters not whether one is an officer or not, they’re unionists, and they work for the local just as hard as the officers do. , • Say, next time the organizers have a meeting at Hoskins, let us know. A crowd of Mooresviile people want to be there, and hear the music on the tin cans. LITTLE GIRL SICK; FAMILY FRED OUT Gaffney* S. C., July 18.—Because a 16-year-old girl could not work with a “rem-round” on her finger, G. W, Wheeler and his whole family were fired from one of the mills here, and have gone to another city to work. The Wheelers are good people, good workers and good neighbor's! The super was told about the little girl’s suffering, but it made no impression upon the hard-hearted devil. In addition to the sore finger, the little Wheeler girl! was also suffer ing from whooping cough. Am sending you this news so your readers will know just what is going on in this burg. The union is growing here, and just as soon as we are a little strong er, no man will be fired because’ he will not make his little sick and suf fering" children Wftjft. BAEKFACTS BY J. M. BAER, Congressman-Cartoonist. Two years ago, with a great flourish of trumpets, the industrial masters of the nation announced a new birth of freedom for the United States. They were going to fix it, by gad, so that no work man would have to ask anybody’s permision to go to work, except theirs. They were going to leave the workmen absolutely free in their t choice of occupations. No union was to dictate to the workman. All the workman had to do was to crawl on his belly into the presence of the boss, beg nicely, promise to be good, not to join any wicked union, and take what he .was of fered, if anything, with humble thanks. If he didn't want to work ' for what the industrial masters chose to pay, that was his misfor tune. If he starved it was his own fault. Such was the new birth of free dom. This child, christened “Open Shop Movement,” was pulmotored ifito lusty and lungful life by a corps of physicians amply supplied with funds. The child was going to be full-grown in an .amazingly short time, according to plans, and was simply to knock the unions for the well-known round trip. But something • went wrong. When the child grew up a bit It got in a fuss with one of those wicked union brats. It got walloped in the ear. Then it mixed with another union brat and got walloped in the eye. Moreover, it didn’t grow so infernally fast. So the industrial masters asked the politicians of the country to adopt it. General Dawes, that great hero of the Battle of the Budget, added his clamor to the demand, but the politicians were wobbly on the question. They wobbled and wob bled, until at last they wobbled right away r from there. Once started, they streaked it like blue lightning away from the yawlfng open-shop youngster. So now there is nobody to fondle it except that great military gen tleman, Field Marshal Dawes, and the rest of the gang that spon sored it originally. It’s useless to them — it won’t grow up — they can’t even get rid of it. What a position for proud par ents to be in! Workingmen of America, aren’t you sorry for them:. rest if they refuse to accept this em? ployment. Certain industries that are in favor with the court have little trouble in securing workers while 'farmers who need seasonal workers are having difficulty. Now, altogether—Blah! CONCORD HEN SAY HURRAH FOR FORK Concord, July 18.—Hiurrah for Ford! . Mangos Johnson' certainly wiped ibe old ring off the face of the earth. Now let us do the syne thing, nationally, in 1924, and ^us old country will rock back to the place made for it by* those wise old forefathers whose work has been so misrepresented by our misrepresents* tives of the past quarter of a century. Our local is growing. We’re not burning the woods up—but we’re ready to defend ourselves with large number of real trade unionists. Wlell be at the state federation of labor convention wjth a good delegation. We want to know something about the workmen’s compensation bill, and why we haven’t a law to that, effect in this state already. Wjsj’ll also be at Mooresville at tending the Joint Council meeting. These meetings have grown to bq the most useful and valuable gatherings we know anything about. Keep the good work up. ~ DENOUNCE 12-HOUR DAY.
