To Reduce Child Labor

Philadelphia, Pa.-The monthly bull
ietin of the Pennsylvania Manufar-
turers' association predicts that more
than 81 per cent of the child labor of
this state viii be eliminated because
of the new child labor law, passed by
the recent legislature. The paper cam
vassed 4,000 manufacturers. The main
reason for the dismissals is the clause
in the new law which requires eight
hours of EDUCATION each week. The
records Of the department of labor and
industry at Harrisburg show that 3d.
$50 minors are employed in Pennsyl-
vania and according to the association,
d 900 of them will be legislated out oi
employment on january | Including
stores and offices the bulletin pre-
diets that $4,000 children will be af-
fected.
These figures will be increased tc
5000 says the report. because of laws
regulating street trades. The manu-
facturers opposed the law and now
they make this mournful comment

Would Breake the Strike

Chicago-.A. F. of L. Organizer
Fitzpatrick and officials of the state
federation of labor continue their eff
forts on behalf of the locked out lace
makers at the Marshall Field & Co.
plant, Zion City. Secretary Treasurer
Olander of the state body discussed an
injunction issued against the strikers,
and showed it was clear violation OF
constitutional guarantees.
The locked out workers are ordered
to absolutely desist and refrain from
in any manner interfering with, him
dering, obstrncting or stopping the
business" of the company. Picketine
is included in the things prohibited
as is every other act the court could
imagine would aid the strikers. who
are even debarred from calling at the
homes of those employed for the pur-
pose of inducing them to leave theil
employment The strikers wer'
brought from England. They taugh
the lace makers of Zion City how te
do the work. Now they are lockec
out because they protested against th'
increasing number of young people
broungh in to learn the work and dC
it for lower wage while older met
were laid off.

UNIONS And WAGES
Organizations Maintain Rates For Labor In
Times Of Depression

Toronto, Ontario-The Industrial
Banner makes this case in favor of the
bona ade trade union movement:
"Never in any other period Of busi-
ness depression has the American Ia
Dor movement made such favoable
showing as during the last two years,
when unemployment has been so
much in evidence.
I'm past depressions as a rule. the
American Federation of Labor always
suffered serious decline in member
ship, and as rule reductions in wages
were of frequent occurrence.
During the last business strin-
gency, however, the A. F. of l.. boldly
pronounced that it would strenously
resist every attempt in this direction
on the part of employers who might
manifest disposition to take advan-
tage of existing adverse circumstances.
"The result was that the wage rates
of the different big international or
ganizations were hardly interfered
with at all. and during the present
strenuous times still more remark
able showing has been made.
Not only have the international
unions protected their wage scales,
working hours and conditions, but a
majority of them have increased in

Pittsburg, PA. F. of L. Organ
izer Tefelski was arrested by Glass
port authorities charged with dis
|tributing printed matter advertising a
mass meeting of strikers employed bv
the American Axe and Tool company.
The superintendent appeared to pros
ecute the unionist, who insisted that
he be released as the arrest was made
without a warrant. This was agreed
to.
Low wages and poor sanitary condi-
tons forced these workers to strike.
In the department where axes are
ground on emery wheels, the piece
work plan makes it impossible to earn
more than 81 day. The same is true
in other departments. The absence OF
sanitary arrangements in the grinding
shops make tuberculosis prevalent be-
cause of constant breathing of the
emery dust. In order to induce new
men to work under these conditions,
they are paid a premium of so cents
| per day for the first week, 40 cents
the second week, 80 cents the third
week and 20 cents the fourth week.
The premium is then removed and the
piece by piece work system prevail
About 100 young women are employ
ed in the packing plant. They receive
from so cents to 90 cents per day OF
ten hours. Many of the workers who
have families are earning, about SIS per
week, while there are individual in
/ I. A
and so cents day. Intense poverty
among the workers is the rule A. F.
of L. Organizer John L. Lewis states
that after inquiry with employees Of
the company no general increase oi
wages has been granted in period
covering forty years
The trades union representatives are
doing every thing possible to assisi
these workers in securing a living
wage.

Bridgeport, Conn.-Higher wages,

Lawyer Bitterly DenOupces Trial ludge-Ah-
daVts BY Jurors

Inouncernent regarding eating. Forbes
now swears the jury did dSnot take the
statement seriously-they laughed at
the courts orders. Canterbury, how
ever, is sure the Judge only wanted to
Suggest" that verdict be quickly
rendered.
c. S. Hearing swears that some OF
the Jurors were playing cards at the
time they were informed of the judges
orders. Everybody laughed, accord
ing to Herring. Shortly after, Juror
Hall voted to convict, is the Significant
ending Of the affidavit
Possibly William Orth is not a card
player, and fell aseep during the game.
He swears he did not hear the bailiff
announce Judge Hillyer's order which
he says, caused amusement among the
other Jurors. They explained to him
that they were to go without dinner
until they agreed upon verdict, and
that practically Immediately there
after the juror, Grover Hall. stated
his readiness to agree with the others
upon a verdict of guilty"
Juror Rosebrough also testihes to
the humorous mood the jury was in
when they heard the judges rule.
Bill Wilson furnishes the sixth af-
fda He was probably wide awake
and not amusing himself with card
playing. He says the bailiff opened
the door and announced they could
not eat until they agreed. Wilson
believes the Judges order was merely
Suggestion" to continue delibera-
tions. Card playing was not classed
as an "interruption' by Judge Hillyer
according TO Wilson.
The affidavit IS a weak attempt to
! ridicule the claim that the jury was
interfered with hv the court and the
bailiff. The alleged jokes and card
playing show that these jurors were
unconscious of the responsibilities
placed on them. The contrary afh-
davits by Forbes and Canterbury
indicate how lighXy they view an oath
The six af6davits bear striking
similarity. When one recalls the des.
perate efforts to convict Lawson
Judge Hilyer will not be charged with
"being funny" 1t was necessary, how
ever, for jurors to ridicule the couri
that former affidavits of damaging
character might be weakened. TIL.
affdavits show how quickly, to gair
a point, the coal operators will dis
credit even their judicial servants.

Washington--For educational pur-
poses and to give the widest publicity
to a defense of the trades union move
ment against another attack by the
Socialist party, President Gompers
again calls attention to the following
statement made by him in the Ameri-
can Federationist, July issue;
'The Socialist political party is at it
again. Again it has made an open at
tack upon American Federation of
Labor and this time upon a new tack.
but with the usual bitter antagonism
of the political Socialists to the policy
of the trades union movement in the
struggle for the attainment of better
life and a better day and withal to
maintain freedom and human liberty.
The Socialists party of Chicago has
issued pamphlet misrepresenting and
attacking the A. F. of L. and its offic-
ers which it declares it will publish
and distribute by the millions that a
copy of the pamphlet has reached the
A. +. of L. office and hence late
for consideration in this issue, but our
reply will appear in the August issue
of the American Federationist."

UniOnism Comes First

Seattle, Wash President Marsh, of
the state federation of labor, discusses
the relative importance of economic
and political action in a letter to the
state labor press.
He urges unionists to not overlook
the importance Of political action, but
to emphasize his belief in the power
of trades unionism says:
"Were / to have the choice to fight
labor's battles, I'd take the industrial.
Why? Because ! believe thoroughly in
organization at the very heart of
mans activities. and that heart is the
place where man by the sweat Of his
brow earns his bread. The funda-
mental part Of mans life is his
source of food. shelter and clothing
and It is there where his material IN
terest beats most strongly. How men
differ over politics. Divide and sub
divide into schools of political thought
and quarrel over the use Of political
means. But did you ever notice that
there are certain recognized laws un-
derlying trade unionism, certain weli-
ldefned courses Of action, upon which
conservatives radicals, and in-be'
isseens absolutely agreef"

membership, have even secured higher
wages, shorter hours and improved
working conditions, not in few iso-
lated instances, but in hundreds of
cases scattered over both the United
States and Canada.
These organizations have even
grown during this last season of de-
preston, have increased the amount
of their surplus funds as well as aug
menting their membership
This all goes to show that the
trades unions that are built on solid
foundation to encounter stormy as
well as fair weather have, during the
past few years, fully demonstrated
their ability to protect their member
ship.
The trades union movement IS
above all an evolutionary movement.
one that learns by experience and has
gained strength and stability through
the mistakes of the past that have
pointed out the rocks and shoals to be
avoided.
With the return of prosperity the
international movement will be in a
position to take advantage of its larger
opportunity and there is no doubt
whatever but that their future growth
will altogether surpass all previous
