GOVERNORS

Melbourne, Victoria, Sept. 15-ln an
attempt to check Australia's increas-
ing debt and to enlarge the peoples
rule, the Labor party has submitted
referendum to the various states
which would amend the federal con
stitution and empower the common
wealth parliment to abolish state gov
ernors and legislative councils.
The Labor party is in control OF the
federal government and five states
The financial question is vital prob
lem and is stated as follows by w.
Wallis, writing in the Labor Call OF
this city:
Australia, the youngest Of the ma
lions, has the greatest debt per CAPT
ia. Every child born in the common
wealth owes the state $500. Children
are thus handicapped from the start.
The national debt is becoming night

the right to appeal to the state board.
'"The state board made the demand
upon the appropriation COMMITTEE in
good faith, but was turned down, and
it's appropriation, instead Of being in
creased, was decreased. Also we had

SO the outlook for. any advance looked
a thousand miles away.
I'VE then asked the state board to

after a hearing that lasted nearly
six hours, the board ordered the estab-

PLEA FOR LAW
AND ORDER

San Francisco Sept. 15-The Even

for law and order:
Against the sonorous platitudes
about law and order constituted au-
thorities,' lawless agitators,' and so
forth, put, fer the sake of fairness
this extract fro mthe industrial com
mission'si major report:
"+Strong unions mean decent wages
and decent wages raise wage-earners
to a plane of thought and action
where all their acts and mental pro-
cesses must no longer be directed to-
ward a desperate struggle for the
very right of themselves and their
families to live. where or
ganization is lacking dangerous dis
content is found on every hand; low
wages and long hours prevail; \ ex-

no regard for law and government and

dangerous to society as are the vol

"This is much more helpful than
the bald assertion that "the labor
unions have no respect for law. Re-
spect for law is to lbe expected only
from those who know that they are
receiving their just share of benefit
and protection from the law.
"The corporation which denies its
employees the right to organize IS
setting fire to a powder magazine; it
is fostering anarchy and violence; it
is destroying respect for law On the

the burden of blame for turning in

of the situation is that the stockhold-

Unionjsn Makes Gains
Where Politicians Fail.

Washington, Sept. 15-'Here is an
exhibition Of making progress through
our trade union activity in spite Of
the legislature" says A. F. of L. or
ganizer Fitzpatrick, Of Chicago, in a
letter to Secretary Morrison on the
recent gains of hospital attendants
and nurses unions employed in lii
nois state institutions. m
The Chicago unionist writes:
About year and a half ago we
started to organize the employees in
the state institutions. At that time
the conditions Of employment remain
ed unchanged for thirty years. The
employees lived in the hope that the
politicians, the legislature and then
later on, the civil service law, would
protect their interests, but at last they
had to turn to the labor movement fol-
relief. These employees work d
twelve, fourteen and sixteen hours
per day. The minimum wage for wo.
men was $40 per month and $25 for
men. The maximum wage was $50
and ss5.
'Dne Of our first moves was to
change these conditions, and after
some effort We succeeded in inducing
the state board Of administration to
establish the eight=hour day in all in.
situations under their control. This
was accomplished without any reduc.
ton Of wages. Then we were told
that we could not get any further con-
sideration until the legislature would
increase the appropriation.
prior to the meeting Of the legisla-
ture we called q conference in Chi
cage Of Representatives and outlined
our future demands and presented
them to the state board so that the
state board could be guided in making
~ their budget for the appropriation

The pubic should provide for play grounds parks,
