RAPs TAYLOR SYSTEM.
President O'conneIi Of the International
Association of Machinists Exposes
deficiency" Plan.

In his argument before the labor com
of the Machinists barred the entire
scheme of the advocates of the Taylor
system, now being attempted to be in
stalled at various works of the govern
ment. He said:
1T is the unfair employer in conjunc-
ton with the lead pencil faddist, who is
attempting to introduce such schemes
and schisms with the view of making 1t
appear that labor is being benefited and
labor is going to get more money. That
is huge joke. The moment the laborer
gets more money he has to go out and
get it himself. No employer is going
around handing money to laborers on a
silver platter. Do not let anybody tell
you that. The factories and workshops
where the Taylor system and other sys-
tens aping it are in effect, there labor
is absolutely helpless. absolutely
shackled. They are dependent because
individuality has been driven out OF
them absolutely by that system. Mr..
Taylor says give us strong men, with
big physical bodies, but take their heads
off; we do not want men with heads /;
we want men with big hands, strong
arms and strong bodies, but without
heads. We will do the thinking for
them. We do not want anybody around
here who can think. We have a man
who will do the thinking and tell them
| when to stop and when to start, and
how much they must do, and IL they do
not do 1t then they go to the scrap pile.''

PLEA FOR MORALITY.

Arguments and efforts made and used
by the trade unionists of the country
found expression in the addresses made
recently before the Child Welfare Con-
gress in Washington. Among those who
addressed the congress was Mrs. B. F.
Carroll, wife of the governor of Iowa.
The concensus of opinion was that the
moral standards of this country were not
as high as they should be, and that much
could be done to improve them. These
discussions rarely fail to bring out the
fact that industrial conditions which
compel children to find employment at
an early age are followed by decreased
moral standards and physical deficiency.

EIeHT-HouR DAY.

Three bills have been introduced in
Congress since the commencement of the
present session, two in the house and
one in the senate. Senator Borah oi
Idaho is the author of the one in the
upper house and Congressman Hughes
and Buchanan the ones in the lower
house. These bills provide, in general
terms, that all work performed now by
the government shall be done in the
eight-hour day, with the further provi
sion that such work as can be executed
by the government and let by contract
to private contractors must also be con
fined to the eight-hour day in the fulfill
ment thereof.

REGULATE IMMIGRATION.

1T is time for the United States to
forsake the sentimental notion that this
is the home of the oppressed and begin
the regulation of its immigration laws
with some regard to the usefulnes of its
immigrants as producers rather than as
consumers" This expression was used
by Theodore Marburg of Baltimore, at a
recent meeting of the American Society
of International Law. I'VE owe much
to the world but a great deal to our
selves as we'll" he said. I'VE had a
political test of our form of government
in the Civil war. but the social test is
yet to come"

PRINTERS FIGHT.

In London the printing trades are now
fighting a winning battle for a shorter
workday. A new daily labor paper has
been put in the field by the London So
ciety of Compositors. The paper is in
tended not alone to voice the printing
trades side Of the present dispute. but
also to voice the wider sentiments of
trade unionism generally and become a
general workmens newspaper. The pa
per is called the Daily Herald, and its
price halfpenny daily.

Intense interest is evinced regarding
the plans now being worked out in Eng

state insurance against sickness, dis
ability and unemployment Mr.. George
has given much time and consideration
to this measure and it is now about
ready to present to the House of Com
