standardized to the last degree. The
men work the same in winter as in
summer, upon holidays and Sundays
the same as week days. Yet this is
hardly an occupation to be held up, as
an example Of our industrial achieve
ments. The motorman or conductor
may lay off day, it is true, but only
with the loss of time, and when he
is confronted with the necessity of
paying 80 or IS cents an hour for his
own time he is very apt to look upon
1t as a luxury to be indulged in by
those richer than himself.
Reducing Hours of Labor.
There has long been a tendency to
cut down the hours of labor. but
there seems to be no disposition to
cut down the number of days. IF It
IS good to have an eight-hour day.
why not a forty-week day? Whv
should it be looked upon as a. mis-
fortune when labor IS not EMPLOYED
throughout the year?
1t has been the boast of our politi-
clans and statesmen. our scientists
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1916-06-03
(By StoughtOn Cooley.)

Irregularity of employment in sea-
sonable occupations has been under
investigation by the United States
Department Of Labor, with a view to
finding some means of dovetailing
the occupations in way to furnish a
Isteadier demand for labor.
The current reports on the garment
industries shows that in one estab-
llishment four-fifths of those en-
Iployed during the year had less than
ten weeks employment. The pay rolls
in the dress and waist industry in the
Idullest week were only one-half Of
what they were on an average week
and barely one-third that of the bus
lest week.
! Others Complaining, Too.
A. similar complaint is heard in
other occupations. Though the pay
may be reasonably good, the workers
|cannot put in full time. This hard
shop has been overcome partly in
some occupations, notably in the
building trades, by advancing wages

during the construction season to a
point that will tide the men over the
slack season.
But is regularizing anc standardiz-
ing employment desirable end in it.
self? To people receiving less than
living wage it is quite important
that the income be continuous, but
the end sought is wages, not employ
ment, and if fewer hours or a less
number of days, can be made to yield
the same return, might not the sea-
sonable occupations be desirable?
Labor Goes to Florida (?)
In other words, may not the Chi

worked throughout the year for the
same pay? Work undoubtedly is a.
good thing. It hardens the muscles,
stimulates the circulation and
strengthens the will, but, like all
good things, it becomes an evil when
lndulged in immoderately.

than the sweeping by Of the few?
Science and invention, though they
have devised a multitude of machines
to save labor, have been unable to
save the laborer. In an, autocratic
state of society, where those in au-
thority think they have discharged
their duty by permitting the mass Of
the people to toll for them on their
land, the hours of labor may be
measured by human endurance, and
the wages limited to an amount that
will permit the laborer to reproduce
his kind. But such a condition will
not be tolerated long in a democracy.
Don't Think For Themselves.
The reason why, more has not al.

are so recently from autocratic lands
that they still think in the terms Of
their former masters. They are dazed
by their political freedom, and move
timidly. But this will not be for long.

DOUBLY: DEFENDED
Right of Employer to Garry Com
pensation Insurance Consid-
cred by Ohio Courts.
SUPPORT GIVEN BY
UNIONS AND EMPLOYERS
Manufacturers Attorney De-
clares Act Does Not Conflict
With State Constitution.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 1.-Sec
tlon 22 OF the Ohio workingmen's
compensation law permits an EN-.
ployer to carry his own compensation
insurance on proof that he possesses
sufficient financial resources to pro.
tect employees. Private insurance com.
panies are attacking this feature OF
the law, together with other provi.
sions of the enactment.
Considered BY Courts.
The question is now being consid.
cred by the state supreme court. and
attorneys for the state federation OF
labor are defending the law. Daniel
j. Ryan, general counsel for the Ohio
manufacturers association, appearins
before the court ais "a friend of the
court" called attention to what is
commonly known as the general
welfare" amendment to the state con.
stitution, which was adopted at the
same time the people voted in favor
OF the workmen's compensation
amendment.
The general welfare" amendment
empowers the legislature to "provide
for the comfort, health, safety and
general welfare of all employees" and
continues this amendment, mo othe,
provision Of the constitution shall
impair or limit this power.'''
Attorney Ryan told the court that
independent of the amendment to the
constitution which specifically auth.
orlzed compensation, the workmen's
compensation law, as passed by the
legislature, is still valid under the
general welfare'' constitutional
amendment. While Indicating hi.
disapproval Of the latter amendment
because of it's sweeping nature, he
said:
'"This section is extremely radical
and far-reaching, but it is in the con-
stltution and cannot be ignored. Its
purpose is to give the legislature
power to pass humane laws in con.
tormity with modern Industrial de.
velopment, and under it any law hav.
ing for it's object the general wei.
fare of all employees Is valid, proVid.
ing it is not against the federal con.
stitution."
Uniformity Of Law.
In answer to the claim that section
22 is not uniform in it's operation, the
attorney said:
Two men have committed a. bail
able offense; one is able to give bond
the other is not; one goes free until
his trial. the other is committed to
jail. This is not a discrimination, and
yet it requires financial ability to give
bond to secure liberty. Two men are
elected to office; one can give the
bond, the other cannot; the one who
gives the bond is inducted into office
the other. who cannot, forfeits his
right thereto.''

remain undeveloped. Were it not for
the needless burdens and restrictions
placed upon industry by law, produc-
ton would be enormously increased.
Then why this feverish desire to work
so long and so hard?
Whether or not the demand of the
trainmen for an eight-hour day is
presented in the best form, is not the
demand itself reasonable? If men
are always to work the same number
of hours a year, with an advance in
pay only as the cost of living ad-
vances-if, in short, their net earn
ings are not to increase and they are
to have no more wealth or leisure,
what is there in all our boasted pro-
gress for the laborers, the great mass
Of mankind?
Only As Beast of Burden?
Surely few will have the temerity
to claim that progress is only for the
handful of privileged persons. ~

a beast Of burden, to be driven to the

and moralists that this is the me-
chanical age. Man has subdued ma
ture and harnessed its forces. Steam,
electricity the internal combustion
engine and the myriads Of machines
and instruments devised to increase
the power Of the human hand, enable
the workers to turn out such stupen-
dous amounts of goods that mer-
chants are compelled to scour the
earth for markets-even to the point
of fighting for them.
: Why Any Unemployed?
Yet in free labor market, where
men may go from one occupation to
another, the street car motorman and
conductor find it necessary to report
for duty at the same hour 365 days in
the year!
But the search for foreign markets
Tor our surplus goods by no means
measures the full increase in our
power of production, for: there are
many would-be workers unemployed.
many more are laboring to poor ad-
vantage. and vast resources Of nature
