WOULD AID WAR REFUGEES
Railroads Plan to Locate Them on
American Farms.


Chicago, Nov. 1o,--Oficials of rail-
roads operating 100000 miles of lines
IN the United States and Canada are
considering a plan to provide farms
FOR the immigrants of Europe who will
come to America at the close Of the
war.
The plan was suggested to dele
gates attending the convention of the
Railway Development association. 1t
provides for the sale of farms at
low figure and advancing immigrants
enough money to begin operations,
giving them as much time as they de-
sire to reimburse the railroad COM
panies.
"The railroads of the country are
among the largest owners of farm
land" said f. II. Labaume of the Nor
folk and Western railroad, land it
would be good business for the roads
to adopt the farming proposal for i'm
migrants

IS REDUCED ONE-FOURTH
Worlds Sea Trade Greatly Affected
by the War.

New York, Nov. 1".-Shipping men
estimate that the volume of the
worlds maritime commerce has been
decreased in the neighborhGod of Is
per cent by the war.
The heaviest part of the loss tails
on Germany and Austria, but hardly a
nation does not feel the restrictions
imposed on shipping by the hazards
Of war and the falling away of inter-
national trade.
Notwithstanding the lessened dan
ger to vessels of the allied and neu-
tal nations since most of the German
warships have been driven from the
high seas movements of merchant
men still are attended with more or
less secrecy.

Northwest Reserve Bank

New Law Permits Reduction of Cash

Minneapolis, Nov. 1'.--Next Monday
more than $4,000, 900 will be released
in the Northwest when the Ninth Re-
Goaal Reserve bank opens for bust
ness. United States Comptroller of
currency John S. Williams places the
amount at $43,OO0,0O0, but bankers say
alis is too high. Business is expected
to be given great momentum. = ~
The change is brought about by the
fact that national banks and banks
nat are members Of the federal re-
serve system will be allowed to re.
duce their legal reserve from Is to Is
Der cent. At the same time the banks
viii be compelled to send to the fed
eral reserve bank three-fifteenths of
The Is per cent. ... ~z ~. a ~.
At the end of eighteen months the
hanks will have to ship one-fifteenth
more of their reserve to the regional
reserve bank and one-fifteenth every
six months until six-fifteenths are in
ule vaults of the federal reserve bank.
After three years all of the reserve
must be held either in the regional re-
serve bank or the banks own vaults.
Under the federal reserve act coun-
try banks will be allowed to reduce
their legal reserve to IL per cent.

The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1914-05-29

we have had the most trouble be-
cause of non-enforcement of the law
have been the localities in which
either labor was not organized or, if
organized, was but poorly so. On the
contrary, the localities from which we
have had the least complaints of VIC
lation of this law, have been those
localities in which we had aggressive
organizations of labor which had the
backbone to make public officials I'M
derstand that that law was made to
be obeyed. l do not want to dispar-
age conscientious efforts of any indi-
vidual or set of individuals outside of
our ranks who helped us or are help
ing us now, but l do want to say that
enforcement of labor legislation de-
ponds absolutely upon the resoluteness
of organized labor, because that body
had the organized force necessary to
bring pressure upon public officials
and because it is essentially their bust
ness to see that labor legislation is
enforced.
We will ere long have a minimum
wage established for women, girls and
minors in industry. Who put that law
upon the statute books? Organized
labor was the compelling force at
Olympia that saw to its enactment.
Whom will it benefit the most? Not
ten per cent of the organized women
in the industries in this state will
need that law because it will be found
they are already receiving as much or
more than that minimum wage will
be- brought about through the power
of that organization. Yet again it will
be the forces of organized labor that
will be resounsible for the law being
brought into being and which will
have a largest hand in it's enforce
ment.
I do not decry labor legislation.
recognize it's imperative need. | will
I work for any law and with any force
that will help to bring about a law
that will tighten the burden of toll
But l want to express it as my sin
cere conviction, formed after years OF
close study and observation, that all
laws written into the statute books OF
this or any other state, having for the
purpose the improvement of working
conditions, are not worth the paper
they are written on without compact
aggressive organizations of labor tc
give them life and effectiveness. ISM

the shame of it, the perfidy of it, the
heartlessness of it, must be upon our
shoulders, the shoulders of organized
society which refused to bear its right
full burden. Organized society is wax
ing I'D to the consideration Of these
vital things. Not many years ago the
principle of the shorter workday for
women went up on appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States. The
usual defense of capital was the right
of individual contract" taking away
of property without due process of law
through an unfair competition in in
dustry." The threadbare defenses of
capital for years past against the new
social doctrine of human rights. The
attorney submitted his brief to the SUI
preme court in defense of the shorter
workday upon just one premise, lie,
that woman was the child-bearer of
the race and that for the good Of so
ciety she ought not to be compelled to
work longer hours than her physical
constitution would stand without i'm,
pairment. The supreme court upheld
the shorter workday for women uopr
those grounds and that decision is to

want to say few words to the
girl employees of our stores as well as
to the members of Label Leagues.
Possibly you cannot see the necessity
for organization of your industry be
cause the state has interceded in your
behalf and enacted legislation in your
benefit It is true this state has
passed some meritorious bills for the
the protection of women, both in in
dustry and out of it. You have the
eight-hour day by legislative enact
ment. You have a working minimum
wage for women which shall prohibit
the employer paying below a stated
sum- deemed necessary to decently
support you. How did you get those
laws? Because organized labor fought
for them. | know something of the
history of labor legislation in this
state. I know that it took session
after session of hard, unremtting toll
on the part of our labor people to get
the eight-hour law for women. l saw
the employers of labor in this state
send trainloads of employers and fool
|ish girl employees to Olympia to de-
| feat this measure I saw our people
stand the gaff Of insult, ridicule and
|innuendo. I saw that measure defeat

Igo to Olympia session after session,
and fight like the good little scrapper
she is for the enactment of that meas
lure Ask Johnnie Campbell what that
measure cost to get. Did it come easy?
| Not much. 1t was fought for and dear
lily won. Whom did it benefit most?
/ The unorganized women of this state.
{ Bear in mind that strongly organized
men and women are not nearly in such
desperate need of legislation as the
unorganiZed because they are able in
most instances to enforce conditions

Ipacity, Labor lgislation always works
more to the advantage of the morgan

labor fights for it just the same be-
cause it is for the common good, be-
cause IAN injury to one is the concern
! of all" To whom has been left the
enforcement of the eight-hour law for
women? The organized labor forces
of this state. l have travelled this
state this year up and down and across
and l make this statement after close
observation: The localities in which
