ANTI 8:HOUR EMPLOYERS
LOBBY AGAINST BILLS

WASHINGTON, March 21.-A
number of firms and corporations
which furnish the government with
various kinds Of supplies: which
would eventually come: under the
operation of the eight-hour law, have
appeared before the Senate Labor
Committee, protesting against the
passage of the eight-hour law.
The bill. now before the senate
committee passed the house some
weeks ago. The gist Of, the orgu-
ment presented by these firms was
that it would be extremely. difficult
for the government to get bids If the
eight-hour' day was inaugurated.
This view has ALREADY. proven to be
fallaciohs. %.~. ;=.~.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-The
Consumers League recently held it's
second exhibition of sweatshop goods
in order that the people of Washing
ton may become familiar with the
conditions under which these articles
are manufactured
One of the conspicuous articles on
exhibition was a willow plume Of i'm

of milliner being about $25.
The knots in this plume numbered
3,07S and the tenement tot who tied
the knots was paid 7sc for It's labor.

they received just SO cents each for
their labor. Railroad fare, hospital
fee. and SO cents for blankets were
deducted.
There we're no other camps in the
vicinity and Moss set out on foot to
Virginia, 60 miles away, during pierre
ing cold with the mercury lowering
far below the zero mark.
Moss declares that he protested to
the foreman against the discharge and
he says the foreman answered him:
If you have a two dollar bill we
probably can keep you the rest of the
WINTER
Could Not Pay Fee.
Moss was broke. He had paid his
last dollar for the job to the National
Employment company, and there was
nothing left for him to do but to leave
the camp.
Moss further declares that he saw
a large crew of men at the head
quarters camp when he was leav-
ing, who were complaining because
there was no work for them.
When Moss arrived at Virginia he
managed to obtain sufficient railroad
fare from sympathetic people to take
him to Chisholm where he had several
friends. Here he found temporary
employment at a small wage at which
he managed to save enough to pay
his railroad fare back to Duluth.
No Criminal Liability.
Moss was advised when complain
ing to the factory inspector that there
was no criminal liability on the part
~of the local employment agent, but it
was thought he had good civil case
against both the local agent and the
lumber company.
However, it takes money to try civil
cases in our courts, and Moss has no
money. He is merely member Of
the down-and-up' group of which
there are so many these days.
To get his case into court it would
be necessary for him to employ an
attorney. After filing summons in
complaint he would probably be
obliged to wait thirty days or more
for the trial of his case.
Poor Mems Chance in Court.
He has no standing in the court
for the one reason that he has no
funds to get there with. And if he
did find a way to get his case into
court it would be necessary for him
to remain in Duluth and await the
trial.
In the meantime he must eat. A
job is necessary There are no jobs
lying about Duluth, and therefore he
| must leave the city.
When he discovers that there are
such barriers against obtaining re-
dress for a wrong done him, Moss
will probably do as hundreds Of others
who have had the same experience
have done, and while leaving the city
he will grit his teeth and declare that
there lis no justice in this world for
the workingman."
And who is there to say that he is
wrong in his conclusion?

a workingman it is different. He is

Many Things Not Considered.
In making a time study of the
operation of a workman, all of the
elements can not be taken into con-
sderation and consequently the COM
putatiOn can not be made mathema-
tically accurate. There is no work
that can be performed or that is per-
formed that is not preceded by men,
tai process on the part Of the work
man. The more skill needed in the
work, the greater the mental process
which precedes the expression Of it.
80 far as your committee has
been able to learn, there is no meth
Cd known to scientific management
by which time study can be made
of the mental process not being sus-
ceptible of determination by a stop
watch time study, the study of itself
must consequently be inaccurate and
the workmen are justified in objecting
to such time study being used as a
basis upon which to compute their
days work and compensation when
in their judgment injustice is done

TAFT INJUNCTION BILL
INTRODUCED IN HOUSE

WASHHINGTON, March 21.-The
period of introducing phony injunc-
tion bills has arrived.
Congressman Moon of Pennsylvan-
ia has just introduced an alleged in
junction limitation bill which repres-
entt the Taft idea. 1t makes legal
the present abuse of the courts in
arbitrarily issuing injunctions in labor
disputes, and only prescribes that
speedy hearings be given on restrain
ing orders issued on the spur of the
moment
The Moon bill can be classed as
simply a campaign scheme for con-
sumption by the Congressman's con-
stitutions at home.

Of these men have been members of
