CHEAP ECONOMY BRINGS
"CAN" TO MEN GROWN
GRAY IN U. s. SERVICE

WASHINGTON, D. c., June H.
Because his funds are exhausted,
Commissioner of Pensions Davenport
has informed thirty-five clerks that
their services will not be required af-
ter July 1. The estimates for the year
were insufficient. Davenport de-
clared he had spent sleepless nights
trying to- avoid the dismissafEof the
clerks. %E}S
He almost wept when he said:
Il have hoped and prayed that con-
gress would pass the retirement bill
have clerks over 70 years old, and
If they could be retired there would
be plenty of vacancies for these who
LOW must be dismissed"
While yielding readily to the de-
mand for higher salaries for, high Of
ficials in Washington, including Presi-
dent Taft, congress has refused at the
last three sessions to enact a bill to
retire old government employees on
part pay. The climax of this cruel in
difference to the welfare Of the men
who do the real department work
is now reached, when, in order to
satisfy the administrations desire for
cheap praise for economy, appropria-
tions are made so small that men
and women who have grown toid in
the service must be thrown into til.

DODDS' BILL, OK
BY HOUSE, MAY YET
DIE IN the SENATE

WASHINGTON, D. c., June H.
The powerful pressure brought to
bear on the members Of the house of
representatives by labor and fraternal
organizations has resulted in the un-
animous adoption by the lower house
of Representative Dodds' bill, which
permits journals owned by these or
ganizations, to carry general advertise
ing.
While this is considered a grand
victory by the legislative representa-
ives of the labor and fraternal organ
fzations, they hasten to point out this
fact that serious obstacle in the
course of this measure is the United
States senate, especially So since the
adjournment of congress is near.
1t Is the belief of the supporters Of
the Dodds' bill that too much credit
cannot be given: for the victory in the
house to the central labor bodies, in
ternational unions, fraternal organiza-
tions, and the labor and fraternal
press for the agitation carried on by
them in behalf of this measure. The
same activity must continue if this
bill is to pass the senate at this ses-
sion and become law.
. The Importance of immediate ac-
tion on this measure cannot be ex-
aggerated when it IS taken into ac-
count that the postoffice department
had already taken steps against many
labor and q fraternal publications,
threatening them with the denial Of
second-class mail privileges.
Failure to put the Dodds bill on the
? United States statutes, would be a
death blow to the labor press of the
country. The arbitrary ruling of the
postoffice department applies to th4
strongest and most influential labor
journals. Most of the ESQ labor pap
ers in the United States are partly or
wholly subscribed for by labor organ
izations for their memberships, and
all carry general advertising
That the postoffice department Is
opposed to admitting such labor jour
nails as second-class matter is shown
by the fact that the administration
postoffice measure, introduced by
Representative Weeks, of Mass, pro-
vides that such publications be not
permitted to carry general advertis-
ing.

FINDS IT PAYS TO WORK
EMPLOYEES 8-HOUR SHIFTS

SEATTLE, June II. - Chauncey
Wright 161 Washington street, has the
distinction of being the first restaur-
ant man in Seattle running eight
hour shifts. He says he finds he can
do so economically. The eight-hour
shifts have been going on now for
four months, and the same wages
paid as prior to the Inauguration Of
the eight-hour day. There are twen-
ty-three people in the employ Of this
popular caterer, all first-class in their
line of work. They are proud Of the
fact that they are the pioneers in the
eight-hour column Of culinary en-
ployes. .',~~..
Wright would not go back to the
twelve hour shift If the men wanted
to, it is said. The new agreement the
cooks and assistants are putting out
to the employers at the present time
asks for a reduction from twelve to
ten hours.

WILL CONGRESS QUIT
WITH CALENDAR. Full .
OF LABOR MEASURES?

WASHINGTON, D. c., June H.
Failure Of congress to enact laws that
would make unmistakable the ex-
emption of labor organizations from
the operations, Of the Sherman anti
trust law and otherwise relieve and
protect the toiling masses has brought
forth a ringing denunciation and pro-
test from the central labor union Of
the national capital. g..
Congress has paid no heed to our
requests" declares a resolution unani-
mously adopted by the central body,
''and we protest against the adjourn
ment of congress without the paassage
Of the measures introduced in behalf
Of organized labor" :. j.
That the charge of Washington's
central body is true is evidenced by
the number. of labor bills quietly re-
posing In the pigeonholes Of the COM
mfttee rooms Of the house and senate.
The Representatives of the people,
are not only unmindful Of the re-
quests Of the millions of wage earners
Of the country, but are even too cow
ardly to report these measures un-
favorably.

ant bills championcd by organized Ia
Dor and secretly opposed by the Can
non-Aldrich machine: ..- - ',.S7'
