MORE Immigration
OPPOSED By A. F.OF |.
Morrison Also Sees Grow
ing Opposition to Labor
InjunctionS
WORKERS GAIN
NEW INSPIRATION

WASHINGTON. Sept frank
Morrison, secretary Of the American
Federation Of Labor, made public last
night the following statement in re-,
view OF the labor situation.
at Is impossible TO record finda-
mental gains during the last year be-
cause Of organized labor's agitation or
to individualize probable gains during
the year to come. The best we can do
is to observe tendencies proniineni
among these is the workers seizure of
the cry for preparedness to empha-
size a danger in industry more deadly
than battlehelds Government statis-
tics show that 10000 men are annual
ly killed and 100000 are annually in
iured for a period Of four weeks or
over
1T has been stated that every year
there are more than 3.OoOOo0 cases Of
industrial illness, caused mainly by
long hours. low wages. dust. bad air.
fumes. smoke. poisonings and poor
ventilation. and that through typhoid
fever and malaria alone $500 100000 is
annually lost to this nation
! Another present day tendency is
the acceptance OF organized labor's
position on immigration restriction.
During the last year the acid test Of
experience has verified the claim OF
| trade unions that American institu-
tons cannot assimilate, nor American
living standards resist. the floodtides
Of induced immigration that has been
the policy Of captains of industry. In
formation and reports received by the
officers OF the American Federation OF
Labor clearly demonstrate the fact
that labor famine exists only where
employers still demand long hours al
low wages, and where they ignore the
living standards set by the workers.
), Another tendency is the CROWNS
opposition to labor injunctions, which
!, class labor power as property. Th'
Congress Of the United States hal
/ voiced this opposition in amendments
r TO the antitrust laws. Judicial inter
! pretations of the term property In TIL
Fourteenth Amendment H. the Fedora
] Constitution are losing their force
What was originally intended to en'
slavery has been used 10 thwart tn
= enactment of social legislation. bu
courts have failed 10 check the swell
I ing tide Of democracy.
The trade union movement Is con
scious OF the part II has played in Oh
tendencies referred TO-, and this con
seriousness will be an inspiration Z
greater effort during the coming year

.CANNERIES HARD HIT
BY TOMATO SHORTAGE
Seasons Product in Big
Growing CenterS Is Far
Below the Demand
PRICES AGAIN
GO BALLOONING

Canning house operators through
out South Jersey, who have been plan
ming for a long and busy season, are
much concerned over a shortage in
the late tomato crop. which will re-
duce the expected big supply and
probably send prices even higher than
they are at present.
Some Of the big cannery men have
contracts for the tomato crop from
several hundred acres in this region
these contracts having been made with
the farmers last spring at prices aver
aging. around $40 a ton. Farmers who
refused to accept contracts stand to
reap big profits before the season is
over. Competitive bidding by agents
for canneries in New Jersey and
Maryland has boosted the price of to-
matOes so that some of the independ-
ent growers have been getting about
double the usual contract price.
Good. firm tomatoes are selling at
the shipping wharves and stations
now at from s12 to SIS ton, or an
average price of 30 cents a basket.
Some Cumberland county growers
claim that they have been getting 40
cents a basket for some extra fine
stock right at the boat
An unusually large acreage was
planted in tomatoes in South Jersey
but heavy rains when the plants were
in blossom. followed by a long drought
during August, greatly injured the
crop and will materially reduce the
yield. Prices are such. however, that
most of the farmers. except those who
are bound up TO low-price contracts
will make a fair profit
Hundreds Of foreigners have been
imported during the last week 10
work in the canneries. and in some
places the tomatoes. have not beer
/ coming in fast enough to keep them
\ busy. The cannerv owners say that
( they have big orders TO fill. and they
must have tomatoes at almost any
price

GARBAGE AEIaNACES CFTYss
CHILDREN.

Now when New York City's child
rem are menaced with . contagious
disease, the close dependence Of
home life and city manaEemenet
comes into prominence. There Is no
doubt that the garbage pail and the
rubbish can are very dangerous
sources Of infantile paralysis" says
DR.. Mary Holton, medical inspector
OF the Department Of Health.
Recently in the infected districts
noticed many garbage cans which
contained moisture and food after
being emptied. These are often not
cleaned and never sterilized by the
janitors. Any one who will watch
the garbage or rubbish man knows
that he cannot help splitting some
refuse as the receptacle Is taken from
the house or yard. II such cans
become infected with the paralysi
germs, they could be dangerous
sources OF infection for eighteen
Flies are also germ car
riers and every house should be pro-
tected from them during the epidem-
ic, advdses DR.. Hoh0n.
