CONGRESSMAN SAYS
THEIR UNCRATEFUL
Massachusetts, Member Feels It
Does Not Pay to Treat Men
Well.

BOSTON, March 30.-At the BAN
quet Of the Boston Paper Trade asso-
citation two sides Of the social uplift
question in industry was presented,
Some of the speakers urged music in
the factory and football and baseball
as amusements, with an occasional
banquet for foremen and workers.
which was declared to be a good in
Vestment.
Congressman Winslow of Worces-
ter, however, was not impressed with
the effectiveness Of social uplift. He
said workers do not appreciate the
measures adopted ''in their behalf"
and he wanted the efficiency experts
to tell him why it is that, with all
this uplift, the fellows who strike
first and stay out longest are working
in foctories that treat them best"
Congressman Winslow protested
against manufacturers who happened
to be enjoying temporary prosperity
paying a scale of wages above that
which the average manufacturer can
afford.

With standard OF living that
would guarantee physical efficiency
and health; costing $3.50 year, in
this town nine-tenths of the adult
male wage-workers fell below the
amount. That means that the chill
dren work, and the women work, and
you have the problem of poverty. It
means that the wage paid by Amer
ican industry in that town was less
than enough to enable a. man to SUD-
port a wife and three children.
Low Wages of Women.
The relation between the cost of
living for the lone woman in industry
and what they get in wages is even
less. Tn Baltimore, as a result. of an
Investigation, experts figured that the
minimum amount on which a single
woman could, live decently was $6.7o

Michigan Court Stretches a Point
to 1nvalidate Good Labor
Measure.

DETROIT, Mich, Mar. 30.-Judge
Frank Davis Of Ionia county has
ruled that the Detroit minimum wage
charter amendment is illegal. This
legislation was initiated by the local
federation of labor and was made a.
part of the municipal organic act last
spring by the largest vote ever given
a charter amendment. 1t provides
that city employees shall work only
eight hours; that common laborers
on public work shall not receive less
than $3.50, and that skilled me-
chanlcs shall receive the highest pre-
vailing rate in that particular work.
Despite the emphatic vote this leg
islation received, municipal authori-
ties have not looked upon it with
favor and now Judge Davis rules that
the amendment is illegal because it
did not lie on the table before the
common council for 80 days before
being voted on" and that the amend
ment was not placed before the gov
ernor before being submitted to the
voters.

WAGES SUFFICIENT TO SUPPLY FAMILY NEEDS AND OBLIGATIONS

day they live throws them deeper in
to the social debt. They are worth
zero, minus the amount of money
that has been spent to rear them.
What we really mean when we saw
that man is worth SO a week is
that he gets $40 week. So MANY
of us say he is getting all he's worth.
when he is only getting what he can.
We do not think of him in terms of
worth, but in terms of power gained
through property.
Measure of Wage Values.
Let us consider what he gets. We
must adopt some measure of wage
values, and then show how that
measure compares with the wares
that are actually paid. Three tests
must be borne in mind. The first is
that industry must pay a sufficient
wage to keep men efficient; second,
society must oppose any wage that
leads to poverty and dependence;
third, the wage must be enough to
enable the wage-worker to- keep his
family. on a. decent level.

income.
Workers Net Income.

dividends, because he has taken risks.

The wage order for most men is
established before the man enters in
dustry. The wage of the school
teacher is fixed just as the wage of
the railroad employe is.
Two-thirds Of all Of the male
adults in industry in the typical in
dustrial state of Massachusetts
(144.000) get between SO and SIS a
week. Three men in every hundred
gets more than $25 a week. That is
the established rate of wages in that
state,
Less Than $12 a Week.
Sixty-five adult males in every
hundred get less than $12 a week:
80 in every hundred get between $12
and $25 a week. Twelve dollars a.
week is 1924 year..
In American industry, as a whole.
three men in 100 get over $3.50 a.

0ASSWELLER ADVISES COMMISSIONERS
OF B0FCH LEGAL JOB in ARM0RY CASE

The attorneys for the city and the shriners are
having busy time of it trying explain their methods
in hurryng the armory referendum supreme
court.
Special counsel Crassweller has advised the COM
mssioners that the city attorney has not made suf
ficent defense of the cys position the case and he
mas asked the commissioners to authorize him
the dismissed in the supreme court to move re-
opening of the judgment already entered the district
court, allow the withdrawal the cty's answer and
serve new answer altogether
If this recommendations is agreed to it will put
the case just where it Immediately after Judge
Dancer rendered his decision.
1t is believed that If Mr.. Crassweer were per-
mtted to plead the city side of the Judge
Dancer decision favorable to the city would be
rendered. 1t is known that Mr.. Crassweller SYM
pathizes with the position by the armory referen
dunn petitioners and the majority members of the
charter commission whereas Mr.. Samuelson the city
attorney does not.
Mr. Crassweller it is said, does not admit that only
qualified registered electors permitted to sign
referendum petitions He believes the provision of the
charter should be literally Interpreted and that any
qualified elecor who could register vote at an
election should be held now would be entitled to
sign the petition This position is directly opposed to
that taken by the city attorney.
Mr. Crasweller it is also said holds to the opinion
that when referendum petition presented to the
city clerk containing the of supposed electors
equa or exceeding in number 10 per cent of the total
vote cast at the last general municipal election the
ordinance involved is then and there suspended pro-
vided said petition is filed within the thirtyday period
provided for in the charter This he is sufficient
OF good faith the part of the petitioners
1t is conceded that if such petition does not con-
tain the names Of supposed electors equal to
10 cent of the total number cast at the last
municipal election then the ordinance effective
at the expiration of the thirtyday period The armory
referendum petition contained the names of 1455 SUD-
posed electors at the time it filed while but 1922
names were required to petition to suspend the
armory ordinance.
Then it is held by Mr.. Crassweller that the city
clerk is given under the charter 10 days verify the
names on the petition to ascertain whether mott
sufficient number of sgners qualified electors The
presumption is that every signer to petition is a

AT TER BETTER LAW
Organized Labor In Campaign TO
Improve Workingmen's Com
pensation Aca.

LANC1NG, Mich, March sO.-The
executive committee Of the state fed
GRAFTON of labor has decided to SUBJ
init to the referendum II amend
ments to the workmen's compensa-
ton law. These include increasing
rates from SO to 66 2-3 per cent:
providing for earlier and longer med
cal attendance; providing for depend
ents; compensation for disfgurements
and injuries not specified in present
law, and for permanent disabilities.
The labor forward movement. now
on in this city, is proving successful.
Several unions have been organized,
and the prospects are good for unions
of retail clerks, teamsters, postoffice
clerks, undry workers, bakers, iron
molders and cement workers.

Should the city find the petition Insufficient
and he certifies thereto, he did with the armorv
referendum petition Mr. Grasswener holds that the
petitioners should be given further 10 days to make
up such lnsuffciency This too is provided for in the
charter although Mr. Jenswo1d the attorney for the
snriners is attempting to- have the court decide that
O-day provision does not apply the referendum
>ysAs None of the questions above mentioned are
sufficiently set forth by the city attorney in his
answer appeal to the supreme court and Mr. Grass
weller declares lit is useless to attempt to obtain
decision by the supreme court the merits. with
the record is stands: Mr.. Crassweer is honest
ABOUT 1t and practically advises the city drop the
peal unless the be returned the lower
The city attorney has offered no explanation to the
people why he used such undue haste rush.
Ing MS answer to the court when knew that
the petitioners had requested the commissioners to
n.me an attorney in sympathy with referendum to
nend1e the case The admissions in his to the
supreme court have practically put him on the
side OF the case with Mr.. Jenswod, and Mr.. Grass
weller plainly that the is hopeless unless the
answer is withdrawn
Mr. Jenswold attempts to answer for the city at
torney. He became very causc in his reply and men,
tions something about "the employment of special
for the purpose of harassing, annoying
laying the shriners in obtaining of the armory
property if this the most important issue
involved in the controversy. The question as to who
shall own the pales into nsgnificance as
WneLlef
we shall have workable referendum under commits
sion government.
Mr.. Jenswold knows that he has weak case in the
courts If the armory referendum matter heard
its merits and presented by attorney who is in
sympathy with the referendum. Mr. Crassweller very
fittingly replied to him when he said
II have desire to enter into a public controversy
over the legal points involved. If Mr.. Jenswold de-
sires to try his lawsuits in such manner that is his
privilege My purpose in filing my statement with the
city council Monday place facts before the
commissioners, and not to disparage anyone or enter
into q public controversy"
Professional ethics prevent high class lawyer like
Me- Crasswe4er from stating his real opinion about the
maAhAr in which the armory was handled for the
city, but observing citizens are lot lawyers have
