cucupa Indians Must Go
Yuma Sun: George Webb, chief of
immigration inspectors OF the Arizona
and California district with headQuar-
ters at CaleXico has been in Yuma
for two or three days getting a line
on the Cucupa Indians who have been
working in this vicinity. 1t seems
that large number of Cucupa lndi-
ans at CaleXico We're ordered across
the line into Mexico, it being charged
that they were Illegally in the United
States. These same Cucupas came
over to Yuma and secured work on
the reclamation service works and in
various other lines of trade. Mr.
Webb learning of their continual eva

them to Yuma, and has been busily
engaged in showing them across the
line All of those engaged on recla-
nation work have been laid off 1t is
very easy to get them back into Mex

airy to keep them there.

DENVER. COLORADO. APRIL
COMMENT ON TIMELY TOPICS

Illinois legislature which is now before the supreme
court of that state being appealed to that Judicial
body to determine its legality Golfers has this to
say about working hours for women:
An amendment to the Illinois act limiting the
work of women in certain industries to ten hours
day pending in the supreme court OF the state
The old law covers only mechanical establishments,
factories and laundries, these being chosen on the
theory that the industries operated by machln-
ery and machinery sets pace which causes lnJurl-
GUS strain. The amendment makes no material
change except to add mercantile establishments,
hotels restaurants, telegraph and telephone Offices
public utility businesses and public institutions IN
corporated and unineorporated. The constitution
aty of the amended act comes up now IN the prose
cuton of a hotel keeper. The work of American and
Irish girls in hotels is well known, but the general
travelling public is hardly aware of the small army
of Polish girls who do the scrubDng and dsh WASH,
ing the hardest perhaps the whole that classed
under woman s work They come largely from Cali
ca where they have much to make their lives seem
gay-thatched cottages, usually freshly whitewashed
each spring flowers in the queer little windows, and
crowds of people living and working together. As
there few schools in the country districts, most
of them terate. The land allotted the peasants
when serfdom was abolished about fifty years ago,
has been subdivided with each generation until the
narrow ribbon-like strips inadequate to their
support. The tradition also that the noble is en-
titled to large return from the land also keeps
wages low By these influences the poorest have
been driven to Germany and western Europe to work
a few months in the harvest fields, and those who
are better off the United States and South Amer
lea. Most of these who come to us are under twenty
five years of age strong, large, and somewhat SLOW
of movement Of course, the task of Chicago, or any
American city. is to that these new citizens be-
come industriay more skiful, keep their health,
main morally sound, acquire the English Language,
and successfully learn American habits. The lmml-
grants Protective League has endeavored toget them
into night schools, but little progress can be made
when work leaves them tired for anything except
bed The long hours allow no leisure for recreation
When Saturday night comes, the demand for some
sort of excitement almost too strong to resist and
physical and nervous exhaustion leads to demand
for acute stimulation of the senses The neighbor-
ing saloon keeper alert to attract the changeneed
ing girl to the dance halls Neither the admirable
provision of Chicago for public parks and play
grounds nor the institution of better dance halls will
entirely meet the situation 1t never be met
while the girls work twelve hours day, and In the
poorer restaurants fourteen. Only the community,
as represented in its legislatures and its courts can
adequately meet a situation in which the eommun-
ity itself is profoundly concerned
United labor bulletin., 1912-04-18
LEGISLATIVE BUNeL1Ne BY RUSH.

In Seattle. Wash, committee OF union men ap-
peared before the city council and asked that the
city grant wage and time concessions to the en-
ployes and the desired action was taken without
delay.
In Denver request that the present law be
lived mn to is ignored. and the Board OF Public
Works rests behind the failure of the city attorney
to give a written decision to the course of pro-
cedure under the charter This is another flaw to be
found in the bungled charter of the city and county
of Denver known as the Rush amendment There
is no provision whatever in the charter to protect
the thousands of men that employed yearly by
the city and these big contractors are allowed
through lack of provision to work the laborers at
any wage at which the condition of the and their
families force them to accept work Yet this same
John Rush is quoted having said before the Direct
Legislation league Monday night that the Trades
assembly was playing into the hands of the orpora-
tions by initiating public utilities bill which he HIM
self had never seen and of the provisions of which
he knew nothing. John has amendment to the
state constitution for public utilities bill which
does not allow an appeal to any court, and for that
reason the best lawyers say it is unconstitutional be-
cause it confiscates property without due of
law: and because the assembly committee did not
accept it and play into the hands of the corporations
John is not we'll pleased. What would please the
corporations more than to nave amendment
made imperative through the federal courts 1t
conceded by Rush himself that this could be done.
1t is as The Bulletin has said all along: You must
have the consent of certain few or you dare not
initiate legislation.
