WAGES ONE CENT AN HOUR

BELFAST, June 5.-Wages at the
rate of half penny, or one cent, an
hour are paid to many women work
ers in the Belfast linen factories, ac-
cording to statement made by Miss
NJ Galway, of the Textile Operatives
Society of Ireland.
One cent an hour, she says, is paid
to the women who clip the threads of
chinee-embroidered cushion covers.
The work, however, is not done by
time, but by the piece. A farthing a
dozen is paid for clipping the threads,
and a dozen require a full 80 minutes.
All of this underparing work is done
at practically the same rate of pay.
and it is a tedious task at that. The
firms paying these wages are among
the largest in Belfast.

rights This declaration now adorns
the walls of many school rooms in
Europe, and has even spread to ia

WHO IS LANSING?
(By United News Writers.)


WASHINGTON, June 15.-Who is
Lansing? Who is the man who is
taking Bryan's place? Do you know
Well, here are a few facts ABOUT
Lansing:
Robert Lansing began his educa-
ton in the office of his father-in-law,
Gen. John w. Foster Foster was sec
rotary of state in President Harrison's
cabinet and later ambassador to Mex
leo City. Naturally enough Lansing
is biased against the Mexican revolu-
tionists. 1t is said that Diaz learned
many things in the way of artistic
subjugation of the poems from Foster
while Foster was ambassador there.
At about the time that Woodrow
Wilson began to look to Lansing for
advice Duval West came back from
Mexico with his report. 1t now be-
comes clear that Lansing and West
agreed upon the new Mexican policy
and that Wilson agreed with them,
Duval West comes from Texas
where Mexican refugees have been
thrown into prison with wonderful
disregard for law or anything else
and where Mexicans have frequently
been held in prison year and half
without trial.
Lansings accession to the portfolio
of secretary of state makes things
look doubly black for Mexican liberty
And here are more facts that look
black for Mexico. The Phelps Dodge
company, heavily interested in Mexi
can copper, is mighty close to Wash,
ington. Cleveland Dodge is class.
mate of Wilson and was one of the
heaviest contributors to the Wilson
campaign fund. The Greene Cannea
Copper company also is heavily inter
ested in Mexican copper This com
pany has a bloody record in Mexico.
Col Bill Greene has the distinction
of having led a company of cowboys
armed with Winchesters, to shoot
down striking Mexican miners. Now
both of these companies have contri-
buted to the Red Cross fund-$5, 900
each. They seem to be eager to get
the bluff of humanity" across the
line-with the fixed bayonets and the
machine guns close behind!

LABOR LEADERS JAILED

NEW YORK, June 14.-Eight lead
ers in the garment trades unions in
this city are held behind good solid
steel bars in the Tombs and they can't
find out who is charging them with
what. OF course they know that they
are charged with murder, but they
don't know what is back of it all
they don't know who the witnesses
are that have put them there and if
the prosecutor can help it they won't
know until they come to trial.
Judge Mulquen is expected to rule
soon on whether the defense is to be
given the right to inspect the grand
jury minutes. The judge is acting
real decent about the matter and says
that if he thinks there isn't sufficient
evidence in the grand jury minutes to
warrant the indictments he will turn
the minutes over for inspection.
But the union men have been in
cells now for eight weeks-and that's
a long time. One of the strange
things about the whole case is that
almost all of the prisoners are Rus
SLAMS who came to this country in
search of a land of liberty. They find
liberty to get into prison for helping
labor in it's battle against oppression
