To Abolish the sweatshop.

The Chicago Garment Manufactur-
ers' association is considering a plan
to centralize the business. One prom
ised advantage will be the abolition
of the sweatshop. Instead there will
be homes, clubhouses, libraries and
gymnasiums for $500 employees. Thu
plan as outlined is to buy land outside
the crowded part of the, city and erect
a great group Of buildings. The esti..
mated cost is 5000, 900. The concerns
interested do an annual business in
Chicago Of $4O,OO0,0O0 or more. Their
plants are scattered, and it is thought
that by grouping them large saving
In rent, insurance, building repairs
and other expenses would be effected.

voted to manufacturing be built of a

LABOR TURNED DOWN
Cincinnati Solicitor Says Traction
Company Need n lot Give
Each Rider a Seat

Cincinnati, June o. City Solicitor
Ballard today sent to the city coun-
Gil an opinion that the mo seat, no
fare" ordinance aimed at the traction
company would be invalid if enacted
BY the council
He states that under the proposed
law, the traction company would be
compelled to haul people who are
standing free of CHARGE and that such
cannot be done. The franchise allows
ahe company cents for each pas
senger. He holds that any regulation
of the traction company regarding
seats might come under police powers,
but that police powers did not con-
template any authority to reduce fares.
The movement in favor of no seat no
fare ordinance has been earnestly
backed. by labor organizations.

Clerks
Dunn ped.
His Own Salary Raised, Taft
Turns on Men Long in
Government Service

Washington, June 9.-Like old,
WORKOUT machinery thrown oa the
scrap heap, hundreds Of aged clerks
in the various federal departments are
being dismissed daily in policy with
President Taft's efforts to cut down
certain operating expenses of the gov
eminent.
After having spent the best part Of
their lives in the civil service of the
government their hair now whitened,
their fingers tremulous, their eva
sight dim, these workers are dazed
by the suddenness of the blow and
know not which way to turn.
Some of those recently discharged
have been in the service of the gov
eminent for over thirty years and yet
lot of them were told sto go' With
out the government making the slight
est provision for their care now THAI
the many years of toll have drained all
of their energy and strength.
While the calaries of the President,
members of Congress and the other
high officials have been increased, the
wages of the civil service employees
have not been raised for over fifty
years. With the cost of living ever
increasing, it has therefore been i'm
possible for these clerks to save any
thing for rainy day. Most of them
had a continuous struggle to mako
both ends meet
Now that the meager income af-
forded them through government en-
ployment is withdrawn, these hun
dreds of workers are face to face with
the grim specter Of naked want

Very much on the order ,of-the "be-
nevolent scenes of the union bust
ing employers Is the remedy by the
high department officials of the gov
eminent. Their pension scheme
amounts to compelling the under-pall
clerks to put a. percentage of their
earnings into a retirement fund.
In the meantime those that are now
being. discharged are without support.
The workers, who have given long and
faithful service to the richest govern
lment on earth, are destitute.
