Hour Labor Law

Association Urges That the Enforce

Practically Cut OFF Trade of Farmers

Special to Times-Republican.
Ames.


Mason City. Jan. 222.-The Iowa
Brick and Tile Manufacturers took a
strong position on the open shop ques-
ton in their discussions yesterday I'M
this city. They are a unit on the ques
ton, stating that as much of the labor
was unskilied that with anything but
on open shop there would be the great
est impcssibility to get that labor when
most needed and prices for tile and
would be compelled to manufacture
less and thus curtail their own profits
as well as cut off the trade of the far
mers who are their best customers.
The theory in tile making is that the
large demand aud the larger pro-
duct, the cheaper the product, and
the greater incentive to buy and con-
sequently the more labor employed and
the greater profit at the factories in
the aggregate. The association also
took firm stand against the propos-
ed eight hour law before congress. be-
cause it will practically ruin the tile
business. where more hours are neces-
sary. They also took very strong
ground on the proposed an,i-injunction
bill before congress as tending to law
lessness and anarchy and demanded OF
the Iowa senators and representatives
to defeat the bill. 1t Mas shown that
there were millions of dollars lost last
year owing to Inefficient drainage, and
the legislature was memoralized TO en-
act more liberal drainage law, and
one that shall provide for practicable
and equitable method for obtaining
outlets for the individual land owner,
as well as the larger association OF land
owners, and committee Will help
draft such a bill. They also reiterated
their request for school of ceramics
at Ames, similar to the schools OF the
same kind in the agricultural colleges
in New Jersey and other states.
