URGE ESTABLISHMENT OF
u. S. BOARD OF HEALTH

HOUSTON, Texas, May PA reso-
luton urging President Wilson and
congress to enact such legislation as
is necessary for the establishment of
a national department of health,
whose head shall be a member of the
presidents cabinet, was adopted by
the Southern Sociological congress in
session here.
The resolution cited that more than
100000 people die needlessly in the
United States annually, and that more
than 100000 are needlessly i'll each
year, a greater number than have
been killed and wounded in the pres
ent European war.
The economic loss annually to the
United States, the resolution declared,
is more than 100000, and the
government has done very little to-
ward aiding the state and local health
authorities in the campaign against
tuberculosis, typhoid malaria, pneu-
monia and other preventable diseases.

MOTHER JONES ON STAND
TELLS OF STRIKE WORK

| Observation-Disclosures" Jones,
the S1-year-old organizer and propa-
gandist of trades unionism in general
and mine workers in particular, gave
the commission on industrial relations
a graphic and picturesque story Of
her experiences in strikes and lock-
outs dating from the Pennsylvania
railroad strike in 1877 and including
the more recent troubles of the miners
in West Virginia and Colorado.
When she was asked her home adj
dress Mother Jones told the commit
tee: II live wherever there is fight;
wherever the capitalist robbers are
fighting the workers l go there"
mo governor owns a state" she
said few minutes later. mo presi-
dent owns the United States. ! hap

of stock in it that entities me to go
where I please. l belong to the class
that has been robbed and exploited
and oppressed for long years and it
is my privilege and my duty to do
what can toward ending these in
Justices"
In the course of the review Of her
experiences with strikers and with
civil and military authorities Mother
Jones declared that she had always
opposed violence, but admitted that on
one occasion she had advised West
Virginia miners to buy guns. She
also avowed a poor opinion of courts
and said she had always paid no at
tention to injunctions and advised
her boys" as she called them to fol-
low the same course.
At one time she drew vivid pic
ture of the wife of an imprisoned
striker who came to her bearing her
newborn babe in her arms and beg
ged her to tell her what she could
do or should do while her husband
was in Jail.
ut is on the quivering breasts and
blasted hopes Of these mothers that
the rich carry on their philanthro-
poes," declared Mother Jones, raising
her voice in a dramatic appeal to the
crowd that filled the room where the
gathering WAS being held

REFERENDUM" VICIOUS
LAW ~

lists in this state are circulating refer
endum petitions to repeal an especial.
ly vicious piece of legislation passed
by the recent legislature. This law
provides that in civil suits the losing
party to the complaint shall be assess
ed the costs Of the jury selected to
try the case. AS the lowest rate for
jurors is SO per day per juror the
workers show that it would be practi-
cally impossible for one without fin
ancial resources to recover damages
in case of injury or injustice of any
kind. 1t is claimed that injured EN-.
ployes of railroads, mining companies
and other large corporations would be
in position odictate terms of set
Element because workers would find
it impossible to test their case in the
courts.
Arizona unionists are arousing inter-
est against this act, which was slipped
through the legislature with as little
publicity as possible.

SIGNS CHILD. LABOR BILL

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 23-Gov-
ernor Brumbaugh has signed the Cox
child labor BILL which he supported
through its various legislative stages.
The governor issued a statement
when he signed the bill rebuking those
legislators who violated their party
platform and expressing regret that
all parties in interest did not agree
upon the measure. He said: "The
hours of this act are fair, 81 per week,
nine per day, and coupled with this
provision is feature, new in the
states, providing that eight hours per
week shall be devoted to attendance
upon vocational school. This school
is new to our American thought. 1t
is the most important feature of the
act. Children between IA and 16 years
Of age ought to be in school-at least
part Of each week. Unless they are
at work they must be in school under
present and proper laws. Those who
go to work at IA ought not to be
barred from further education"
The new law takes effect the first
OF next year. 1t has been the object
of much opposition by the Pennsyl-
vania Manufacturers association.

FOES ARE AT HOME

Josiah Wedgwood, parliamentary
radical, and Boer war veteran has
dropped his political differences with
the government and is leading a
regiment in France, mot that Eng
lishmen my take France, but in hope
that Englishmen may take England"
Wedgwood is a descendant of the
founder of the Wedgwood potteries
and has an interest in that enter
prise His whole soul is given up to
fight against English landlordism,
however and he has been one of the
chief advocates of breaking up the
large baronial estates by means Of
taxation.
"England's greatest menace is not
Germany" says Wedgwood, "but the
fact that we have been starving a
large part of our population in order
that another part may live in lux
ury. We have been breeding two
races of human animals, One race
averages five feet two inches in
height and works in factories. The
other averages six feet high and plays
cricket. 1t is on the first class that
the chief burden of the war falls and
the second class gets all Of the bene-
fit.
"A country is not free unless its
men can work for themselves and
get the product of their labor. So

of few, this will not be possible.

EFFECTS OF BONUS SYSTEM

Labor unionists interested in the
effects upon workers of the bonus sys-
tenn Of wage payment will find an in.
teresting study of actual results made
in the Topeka shops of the Santa Fe
railroad in a report on Industrial
Conditions in Topeka" by Zenas l..
Potter, Of the department of surveys
and exhibits of the Russell Sage foun-
dation. The bonus system has been
in operation for eleven years in these
shops, which are among the largest
car shops in America. At the time the
system was installed bonus payments
were made in addition to prevailing
wages. After ten years operation Of
the system Mr.. Potter, by comparing
Santa Fee wage rates exclusive Of
bonus earnings with wage rates in
other car shops in the Topeka district,
attempts to discover whether this is
still the case. The conclusion reached
after a detailed analysis Of the situa-
ton is that in many important trades
Santa Fee earnings exclusive Of bonus
earnings have been allowed to fall be-
low existing wage rates.
Regular and bonus earnings are
then compared with union rates in the
Topeka district and the conclusion is
reached that even counting bonus
earnings Santa Fee workers in several
important trades receive less than pre-
vailing rates in nearby union car
shops. The system, moreover. is term
ed inaccurate and unscientific" as a
bonus system, and 1t is shown that
the company has abandoned many Of
the bonus principles laid down by eff
ficiency engineers. The findings in
dictate that at least when the bonus
system is abused it is not advantage
GUS to the average employee.
The report also deals with labor
conditions of the unorganized street
railway employees and with the Kan
sas workingman's compensation law,
which Is criticised because under it's
optional provision most Of the indus
tries where compensation is most
needed do not come under the law

lation is pointed out and the state is
