Why Miners Organize.

Pittston, Pa, Jan. 2S.-In an
address to the miners in this vicini-
ty, John Mitchell asked this quest.
ion:
after a lifetime spent in the
coal regions of the anthracite field,
did you ever hear of single case
where one man, individually, was
able to make an advantageous
agreement with the coal company"
The speaker referred to the claim
that the new Pennsylvania work
mems compensation law works
automatic. ct will not operate
itself" he said. "To enjoy It's
benefits workers must do something
to make 1t effective. This was only
possible through organization,
which secured established wage
rates that were later the basis of
compensation awards by the state
board.

Child Labor Bill Agreed To.

which was passed by the last house
of representatives The senate ad-
journed before reaching a vote on
this question.
In It's favorable report of the
present bill the committee states that
"the only opposition from manu-
facturers personally appearing be-
fore the committee has been from
the cettou manufacturing states of
North and South Carolina, Vir
ginia and Alabama, and the manu-
featuring association of those states
have been in the past opponents
before their own legislatures of the
raising of the age limit or shorten
ing of the hours of the working
children.
The bill has been continually
urged by the American Federation
of Labor and If passed it would be
unlawful to ship in interstate COM
merce goods produced Ly children

Plead For Women Warkers.

Columbia, S. c., Jan. 28. In
his message to the general assem-
bly, Gov Manning urged legislaa
tiJn in behalf of workers, especially
women In large industries and also
women employed in other lines of
work. He said.
/, Women are sometimes cruelty
oppressed, and have to work for a
greater number of hours than flesh
and blood can stand. Sometimes
they are required to work as many
as sixteen hours or more, without
opportunity for rest, and with scant
time for meals; and with their work
places at times in an unsanitary
condition.
These questions are of vital i'm
port to the future of our race, and
we must vitalize and put into ac-
tive effect TIE laws now on our
statute books, which apply to these
conditions. If the present laws are
insufficient, they should be so
amended az to give the power and
means to provide f II their enforce
ment, so that these conditions may
be improved without delay"
Governor Manning also recon-
mended law raising the age limit
of children working In factories,
mines and textile establishments.
He said that large number of
school districts have placed them
selves under the compulsory school
attendance law, but this was not
true in mill districts because the
minimum age limit of the child la
Dor law Is IL years and the school
law maximum is IA years.
The child labor law, declared the
chief executive, prevents school
districts in mill sections from tax

lation.

VIZ ARE of the opinien that the
reason for trying to keep the spe-
cal police from getting their pay is
because the M lnufacturers' Asso-
citation is afraid that it will be set
ting a bad precedent. We are In
clined to think that this Injunction
was asked for by that organization
through their attorney w. c.
Shepherd. 1t matters not whether
the police who did special strike
duty get paid or not, the precedent
has been set and if the occasion
presents itself the labor unicns can
again ask the Mayor to appoint
them. The time has come when
union men are educated enough to
know that the laws were not all
made to protect some people and
not others. 1t has always been the
custom OF manufacturers 10 have
specials appointed but in the recent
laber disputes the un on men found
that they have the same right, and
so they took advantage of 1t. Had
these same specials been appointed
by request OF the manufacturers
there is no doubt that they would
have been paid Immediately and an
injunction enjoining the Auditor
from paying them would have been
unheard of. The City Auditor re-
ceived an opinion from the state at
torney, and he said that he should
allow the special police their
money. Because Mayor Hinkle
ap ointed these police, that should
not be one of the reasons for try
ing to keep them from getting it.
If the Mayor appointed these men
legally they should have their
money and no one should OPP ose
it The men appointed by the
Mayor at that time were net So
cialists, but men whose names were
presented by officers of the machin-
lists union. If that is another
reason we can not see where it will
be the means of destroying social
ism, but to the contrary it will
breed more of them. Don't you
think 50 (?

In the annual report of the Uni

Striking boiler makers and ship
builders have won their strike

The thousands of organized en-
ployes In furniture factories In

been mere prosperous.
Professor Pierce, of the Iowa
State University, is not impressed
with the kind of welfare work that
provides spotless kitchens for work
ers to eat their lunches, while these
same employees are forced to labor
under dangerous conditions. "Wel-
fare work" he says, consists not
merely IN equipment and organiza.
ton; Its success or failure depends
upon the spirit which pervades it.
1t Is not substitute for wages, un-
ions or legislation"
Business Agent Jones of the CT
garmakers' Union told the Detroit

gates that non-union cigar plants in

potency" after one year work, In
stead of six months, as formerly.
"a child works in place of this
kind for 81 week" he said.
THAT is, she gets that dollar a
week if she first wsrks year. At
the ehd of her year she is given
back pay at the rate of dollar.
During her apprenticeship she re-
ceives a certificate each week which
entities her to dollar for each GER
tificate at the end of the year. Yet
some men smoke the product of
these places, though they could
get excellent cigars made under
union and humane conditions. /"

Sunday Closing Law Upheld.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 28.-Fed-
eral Judge Welverton has sustained
the Oregon Sunday closing law and
rules that q state has the right to
pass legislation of this character,
not for the purpose of enforcing
religious observances, but to pro
tect persons from the physical and
moral debasement that comes from
uninterrupted labor. .
The court said: That the law
is sometimes called a Sunday law
does not alter the question, and the
Interpretation must be had by a
consideration of this act Itself.
Laws setting aside Sunday as day
OF rest are usually upheld by the
courts. 1t is within the police
power of the state to suspend GER
tain activities on Sundays. Laws
relating to Sunday are enacted in
the legal exercises of the police
power of the state ),
The court held that the question
was state issue and not federal
one as the fourteenth amendment
to the federal constitution did not
apply to legislation intended to
promote health, peace and morals
unless the act was 80 unreasonable
as to amount to conhscation.
