The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-05-06
(By Frank Morrison.)

Was MISUNDERSTANDING Frank NIorri
son, OF the American Federation of La
Dor, i'll a May Day review of the labor
situation throughout the country de-
clared that there was greater industrial
unrest than has prevailed for several
years and that it would be impossible
to intimate the number of workers who
would be on strike May /, most of them
for shorter work day.
There is a greater unrest on this
May l than has been manifest in many
previous years said he. ITO some this
condition is alarming To me it is en-
couraging, for | believe discomfort is a
sign of life-of progress. Workers are
demanding an eight-hour day, and |
venture the opinion that most of the
large strikes today. either now or pros
pective, are because of this shorter work
day demand
1T is impossible to estimate the num-
Der of workers that will be on strike
May ], for the reason that discomfort
can not be tabulated or placed in sta
tistical form.
"A factor in developing present condi-
tions is the decreased number of aliens
who have come to our shores since the
European war. This has weakened the
policy of many employers in trustifed

the Textile Manufacturers association
that it will test the new law relating to
docking employees in cotton mills.
millions of dollars have been stolen
from the cotton mills operatives through
graft and robbery of docking continues
the Home Circle, which again gives this
advice to workers.

WATCH THE CHILD LABOR BILL

hington.-Although the senate
committee has made a favorable report
on the Heating Owen child labor bill,
which has been passed by the house, the
foes Of this legislation will take ad-
vantage of every parliamentary situa-
ton to block final consideration.
If this bill becomes law the products
of child labor will be barred from inter
state commerce, and trade unionists and
other opponents of child labor are urged
to write their senators and insist on an
early vote on the Keatng-Owen bill.

Of the bones and later turned them
over TO S. Beck for burial.

learned as to how the man came to
his death. Some of the clothing
and bones had been scattered
about by dogs or coyotes. The
bones were slightly bleached. The
teeth, which were sound, indicated
that the remains were of a young
man.

Getting Deep
Into Mexico
United States Chase After Villa Is Be-
coming Campaign.

On March Io, the most reliable
information obtainable by the
Associated Press correspondence
at FL Paso, Texas, was to the
effect that the American cavalry
force under General Pershing
which started south into Mexico
last week on a punitive expedition
to run down Pancho Villa. had
driven the bandit chief into a trap
and was closing upon him on one
side while strong BODIES of Mexi.
can constitutionalists, Carranza's
troops, blocked all other avenues
OF escape. Wireless reports from
the front told of Villa being then
on Mrs. Phoebe Hearst's ranch in
the region of Babricora lake, which
is 200 miles south of the border.
His capture, it was declared, de-
pended on Carranza forces holding
their side~of the trap.
March 2oth reliable information
was received at El Paso that Villa
had escaped to his mountain
haunts about Guerrero, that this
was due to failure of the Mexicans
to cooperate, and that in one in
stance Carranza troops had refused
to fight Villas men. News also
came that Carranza men had quit
helping in the pursuit of Villa and
were withdrawing from the field of
operation. The strong Carranza
garrison that had been at Casas
Grandes was now said to have
been brought north and placed in
and around Juares, just across the
border from the Texas city of El
Paso. Reports also came that the
bandit was roaming freely in
large section of country supposed
to be held by Carranza troops.
Carranza did not grant request
from General Funston to allow the
Americans the use of the Mexican
for the shipment of sup
plies for the troops hunting down
Villa. Pershing's force is being
supplied by wagons and motor
trucks, means of transportation
fraught with increasing difficulty
as the expeditionary force gets
farther from the border. The evil
dent inhospitality and lack of
friendly cooperation by the Car
ranza government began to arouse
among Americans on
the border.

Safety First
Exposition
Train of Exhibits Proposed to be Sent
Out by Secretary Lane.
(From Interior Department J

The Safety First exposition, whicl
was held in Washington. D. G.
recently and which depicted what th
federal government is doing In tn
saving OF life and property, may soor
be brought to the doorsteps of ever
citizen in the United States.
Secretary Of the Interior Franklir
K. Lane conceived the idea that tn,
rest Of the country ought, If possible
to be given the opportunity of seelnt
the exposition. He is arranging with
the railroads to carry the exhibits by
special train throughout the country.
In this way he hopes that everyone
10 the country sufficiently interested
will be able to see the exhibits.
The exposition held in Washing ton
originated with the bureau of mines
and through the encouragement of
Secretary Lane spread to all the
other departments until twenty seven
federal bureaus were represented, as
well as the American Red Cross and
the police department of the District
of Columbia.
II am of the opinion that such a
moving exposition will be of great
educational advantage to the coun-
try" said Secretary Lane. BEST Of
all, this moving exposition will give
the people OF the interior towns and
cities an opportunity to see and under
stand what the federal government is
doing 10 places remote. For instance,
