TEE POWER or
tJNI0NISM SHOWN

/ .tE <
Chicago, Sept This proves that
where the politician, the cisil service
law and tie legislature fail to cen
serve our interests, our trade union
activities do not fail u.s.
The above is A. F. of L. Organizer
Ffzpatriek,s concluding sentence in
his rtport of organized lalbor's sue
eessful effort to secure the following
gains in state charitable institutions:
Equal pay LII men and women, one
day rest in seven, an automatic in
creasee in wages based on length of
service, change of shifts every seven
days instead OF every month as here
tofore.
Organizer Fitzpatrick shows that
from the time hospital attendants and
nurses in this state organized, less
than two years ago, their gains have
been continuous, despite Office hold
ers' opposition. The first gain was
changing the 10 and 14-hour day to an
eight-hour day. The legislature then
reduced appropriations for these in
and also defeated the bill
providing for one days rest in seven.
Regardless OF these handicaps, the
state board of administration, aided
by trade unionists, worked out a sys-
tenn of gains that places Illinois in
the van in it's treatment of workers
in state institutions and jlstifies Or
gauizer Fitzpatrick's opinion that the
trade union can be depended on, even
though office holders ignore just de-
mands.

Philadelphia, Sept. AT aconfer-
ence in this city organized labor, aid
societies and the state department of
labor and industry joined hands in
recomm ending state bureau of en-
ployment An official of the Fedara;
ton of italian Societies said such a

is nothin guncommon for contractor
to force aman to wait five days for
one days pay" he said. 81 have known
poor italians to make three or four
trips to Germantown from the italian
colony to collect wages for few
hours work"
Prof. Wits, of the University of
Pennsylvania, said:
'fBig business today is represented
by superintendent and foremen, who.
as a rule, are the most inhuman in
situations of our American life. As a
result, we have thousands of men
shifting from job to another,
twhich means economic loss and much
huan suffering"
President Maurer, of the state fede-
ration of labor, supported this lain,
declaring that employers vest too
much authority with sulbordinates.

URGE STATE
LABOR BUREAU

Charleston, S. C., Sept. AT the
first convention of the South Carolina
federation of labor it was voted to ask
the legislature to establish a state
Tabor bureau. The unionists favored
a state system of highways, a COM
pensation bill and a 50-car bill to ap-
ply to railroads. officers were in
structe dto urge the Farmers union
to act with the industrial workers in
matters of mutual interest. Governor
Manning was unable to be present,
but in a letter to the convention, he
said:
NBy uniting together, the men
whom you represent form powerful
factor in the conduct of the affairs OF
the state and the nation. The inf1u-
ence of labor is great. / recognize

/ Hartzel is a member of the board

that a little further advance by the
