INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
There can be no permanent in
dustrial peace that is not based on
industrial justice, Secretary of La
bor Wilson declares in his annual
report to Congress, made public re
cently. Reviewing the present dis
turbed industrial situation, the sec-!
retary said the means had been1
found for regulating all the other |
relations of mankind and that hu-j
man intelligence could find the meth
od of adjusting the relationship be
tween employer and employe wilh'
justice to both. !
Declaring that just as interna- j
tiona! wrongs might reach a point j
making war a necessity, so indus- j
trial wrongs might accumulate until j
they provoke an industrial conflict. I
the secretary said the stability of,
industrial relations rested on mutual
counsel.
“Just as the peace of nations is
promoted by frank and friendly in-J
tercourse,” he said, “so may the j
peace of industry be maintained by i
the same methods. But this inter-1
course cannot come about unless j
there is first recognized the right
of collective bargaining. The public j
interest demands that it be univer-;
sally recognized, for the primary!
interest of the publie is in peace. ,
“The denial of organization is a \
denial of the only means of peace- :
able settlement that the wage earn-1
ers have."
Calling attention to the present
prominence of labor organizations
of a revolutionary or lawless type,
the secretary declared that the re
sponsibility for them must fall upon :
the employer who opposes the or- ;
ganization of lawless trade unions.
More and more do industrial dis- •
putes menace the public a? well as
employer and employe, the secre- ;
tarv said, adding that the right to
strike should be a means of de
fense and not a weapon of offense, j
“The right of any man to cease
working for another for any reason
that is sufficient to himself is the
basic element of human liberty,” he
said. “The right of any person to
refuse to operate his plant at any
time he desires to do so is the ex
ercise of a property right guaran
teed by the Constitution. It does
not follow that because these rights
exist it is necessary’ to exercise
them. They must nevertheless be
safeguarded.
Turning to the question of the
high cost of living, the secretary
said increased wages did not al
ways bring the desired relief. In
creased productivity, making more •
material available • for wages and
taking the means of increased com
pensation out of the profits of the
employer, was the only way in which
the standard of living of the wage
earner could be improved, he de- •
dared.
Reviewing the activities of the
various bureaus of the department, j
the report said 254,273 aliens came j
to American shores during the fiscal j
year ended June 30. and that 245,- J
047 of them were admitted and j
8,626 excluded. Use number ad-1
f
mitted the year before was 211,853. |
Aliens departing during the last j
fiscal year numbered 216,231, as,
against 193,268 the year before.
During the last seven years the
bureau of immigration estimated
that 36 aliens lefs the country for
every 100 admitted.
Aliens admitted during the past
year were in possession of sums of
money aggregating $15,831,247, an j
average of $112 per person.
Aliens expelled under department-!
a! process during the year num- |
bered 3,068, compared with 1,569 in •
1918. The total number of aliens |
deported, including those refused ad-!
mission and 34 Chinese deported!
under the exclusion laws, was 11,
728, as against 8,916 in 1918.
‘•The number of admissions to cit
izenship during the past year was
larger than any preceding year, i
amounting to 217,358,” the report i
said. “Leaving out of consideration j
the year 1918, this was a far great
er number than was admitted in any
two years during Federal super
vision. Military- statistics show 128,
336 aliens who acquired citizenship
after they assumed the uniform of
the United States.”
The United States employment;
service at the end of the war had j
350 offices with a personnel of
1,700 and an administrative force at,
Washington of 300. During the |
eleven war months of 1918 the!
service placed 2,698,887 persons in j
employment out of a registration of j
!.075,858.
Persons directly affected by labor i
disputes brought to the attention jf i
the department during the year \
numbered 1,011,968, while the num- •
her indirectly affected was 1.336,-|
073. During the year the depart- i
ment assigned commissioners of con
ciliation to 1.780 cases, including
587 strikes, 1,113 disputes and
threatened strikes, 63 lockouts, and
17 walkouts. Of these, 1,229 were
adjusted, exclusive of 219 referred
to the National War Labor board.
The commissioners failed to make
settlements in 111 cases.
Strong recommendations for the
reviving and continuing of the work
ing conditions service, which was in
stituted during the war to investi
gate working conditions and to rec
ommend standards for their im
provement, were made bv the secre
tary.
He also urged legislation for the!
continuation of the U. S. training I
service. “It is believed,” he said, j
“that increased skill on the part of |
the workers, and its consequent'
stimulus towards greater production,!
is even more important in peace'
than in war.
COST OF REVOLUTION.
Results of the first year of the j
revolution in Germany are sum- j
marized by the Socialist Monthly
(Berlin) as comprising a decline in
the value of the mark, increase in
the cost of living, decreased produc
tion of coal, and steadily mounting
public debts. The paper casts a
balance for the year in a bitter and
sarcastic vein.
It points out that the mark has
declined in value within the year
from 72 Swiss francs to 20.25
francs. It gives a long list of arti
cles of food showing increases rang
hng up to 100 percent for butter
and nearly 200 percent for eggs.
I The paper states that the cost of
I transportation has increased.
I The production of coal is asserted
to have declined from 190,000,000
tons a year before the war to 70,
000,000 tons in the first year of
the revolution. This is notwith
standing an increase in the number
of persons employed in the mining
industry, exclusive of war prisoners
who now have been sent back to
[France and Belgium.
Debts and taxes are declared to
be steadily growing into an un
bearable burden for the taxpayer.
The paper asserts that Germany’s
debts will aggregate on April 1,
1920, 212,000,000,000 marks, ex
clusive of the debt to the Entente.
The deficit of the Prussian railroads
for the first year of the revolution
is declared to total at least 3,963,
000,000 marks.
In conclusion, the paper warns
the people of Germany that they
must pay for these “achievements of
the revolution.”
MEXICAN CAPITAL
IS SILENT PLACE
MEXICO cm.—Mexico City is
a quiet place after dark. Business
of practically every sort stops
promptly at 7 o’clock at night, when
doors are bolted and heavy steel
curtains are drawn over the entire
front of the buildings. Avenida
Francisco Madero, the main thor
oughfare. dimly lighted at the best,
looks like a blind alley after 8
o’clock and is enlivened for a few
moments only when, shortly after
midnight, the theater crowds hurry
home. There is but little after
theater life here. Saturday night
offers an exception, for two cafes.
are open then for dancing and drink
ing, with foreigners for the most j
part the patrons.
The human owls of the United
States who turn night into day will '
find it difficult to believe that Mexico
City, which has a population ap
proximating 1.000,000, has no all
night restaurants, and that after
o’clock in the morning it is next to
impossible to buy so much as a cup
of coffee. The "open day and
night” cafe is unknown here, and
early risers or late retirers face the
alternative of carrying a pocket
lunch or of finding one of the two
outdoor iunch stands that cater to
that distinctive class of night work
men. the newspaper printers. These .
two “pueblitos,” as they are called,
consist merely of makeshift tents
which cover a few boards serving 1
a^ tables and chairs. They open •
for business at 3 o’clock a. m., and '
by 7 o’clock are hauled down. Here
one may buy coffee, tamales, tor- j
tillas and meat highly flavored with
chili.
Mexico City is not what might be
called a “good restaurant town."
Although the capital of the repub
lic, it is not as well supplied with,
places to eat as Vera Cruz, which;
has only one-twenty-fifth the popu
lation. The commercial lunch is al
most unknown here, for the reason I
