MANY CLAIMS JUMPED
 IN TOLOVANA COUNTRY

Recent arrivals at Fairbanks from the Tolovana state that on January lst .lere was much ground jumping in the new camp. Some of the ground was restaked because sufficient work had not been done on 1t; but there were many who jumped claims that they have small likelihood in holding, if the eases ever rome into court.
 There was ole claim on Bear creek that wus jumped on mid night on the first of the year. Be tore i6.a. o'clock in the morning it had ben s-alsed again by a man who cla-ed 'aat the first jumper had Pu. ID uis stakes before mid night, aGI that such a location was therefore invalid.

PORTO RICO WRETCHEDNESs.

San Juan, Porto Rico.-Justca, official
trade union newspaper prints the fol-
lowing. report from the Porto Rico bu-
reau OF labor
The strike among the cannery work
ers in Mayaguez last week was on ac-
count OF the miserably low wage being
paid. The men were receiving . cents
an hour, the women 21a cents per hour.
about 400 people were involved in the
strike. After several conferences with
the chief of the bureau OF labor the en-
ployers offered to increase the wages l
cent per hour for both men and women
At first this proposition was refused by
the strikers, but many women who were
not on strike offered to work for the ole
wage, and consequently the Porto Rice
Canning, company started up again witt
practically new force
"An inspection made during the week
of the number of small tobacco stripping
shops in Manati disclosed that in nearly
all the factories very little attention was
being paid to the laws governing the en-
ployment of women and minors. The
sanitary conditions were particularly

WORKERS LAND PLAN
UP TO OREGON VOTERS

Salem, Ore.-Secretary Stack, OF the
State federation of labor, has filed with
the secretary of State petitions OF over
$4,000 voters that the proposed peoples
land and loan law be submitted to the
next referendum As the law requires
II, 1876 names, organized labor is now
preparing to conduct an active educa-
tional campaign in behalf Of this meas
urc.
The law was first proposed by the
Portland Central Labor Council on
recommendation OF a committee ap-
pointed to investigate unemployment. 1T
was later indorsed by the State fedora
ton OF labor and the executive council
OF the A. f. OF L., to which it was re-
ferred by the San Francisco convention
of the A. +. Of /.
The law is based on the theory that as
the State has never been able to limit
taxation State land tax will be levied
per year that will equal land rent, wheth-
er the land is used or not. A third OF
this rental will be placed in a homeseek-
ers' loan fund, from which men and
women in the city and country can bor-
row from the State sum equal to 1,50O
for 90 years. For the first five years nc
interest will be charged except for adj
ministration purposes. No tax can be
levied except by vote of the people. Ii
property is sold for delinquent taxes the
State will pay the taxes and the value
of the. Improvements that have beer
made. When the State acquires proper.
ty under these conditions it can bc
leased but not sold.
The purpose OF the bill is to pry lane
loose from spectators who hold it a

COMMITTEE URGES
A WRITER'S UNION

New 4ork.-Ihe committee on affilia-
ton to the American Federation of La
Dor OF the Authors League of America
has issued statement setting forth the
advantages writer's would get from be
ing unionized. The question will be sub
mitted to a referendum vote of the lea
gue's members.
The claim that affiliation with indus
trial workers would 'lower the dignity"
of authors is answered as follows by the
committee:
"The signcrs of this report believe
that if they, as individuals, have dig
nifty, it comes from their work and per-
sonal characters. If they do not have
it they have forfeited it because of their
work or their personal character; and
being affiliated with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor will not harm or help
their dignity. Your committee feels that
dignity in any true meaning of the word
depends upon ones sense of self ire
spect and that self-respect, in turn de-
pends very largely upon whether one is
working under fair conditions for fair
payment. Since your committee believes
that affiiation will help improve con
ditions Of authorship, your committee
believes that it will help increase dig
nifty of the truest sort"
With practically the entire motion
picture industry unionized, with the en-
tire dramatic field except the authors
organized, the committee asserts that
should the Authors League also affiliate
to the American Federation of Labor
these other organizations would join the
authors in correcting evils in the mo-
tion-picture and dramatic fields. Further
more, the committee says, the league
would have the moral support of 2,50O,-
COO trade unionists.
Affilation to the A. F. of L., accord
ing to the committees statement, would
help the league in four of its most i'm
portant purposes and problems. 1t
would give the league more power to
correct abuses prevalent in the motion
picture field; it would aid the league in
its negotiations for standard contracts
in the publishing, magazine and the
atrical business would help, the league
in its endeavor to secure universal copy
right and to put the United States III
the International Copyright League
thereby automatically securing world
wide protection for any matter copy
righted in America; and it would ait
the league in procuring other Legislation
which may be desirable to secure thu
rights of authors.

mo STRIKE" SCHEME FAILS

Denver, Colo.-Over 200 cracker bak-
ers, employed by two large companies,
are on strike for higher wages and i'm
proved working conditions, as result
of the state industrial commissions re-
fusal to support their demands
Under the law it is illegal for work
erS i'll this state to strike prior to 30
days notice to the commission, on the
theory that both sides will cool off"
The bakers complied with the law and
the commission investigated. The COM
panies told them competition with cast
ern concerns made the request impos-
slblc. Despite high freight rates to the
west and the increased cost of living in
Colorado, the commission favored the
employers. The workers declined to
cool off" They suspended work
Shortly afterwards the companies for
got their claims regarding eastern com
petition and offered to increase wages
if the strikers would abandon their un-
ion. AS an. extra induccmcnt the com
panies offered to install welfare plans, y
similar to the Rockefeller union" Both
offers were unanimously rejected by the
workers, two-thirds of whom are WON
Ell and girls.
The companies are advertising for
help" without including the statement
that strikes exist in their plants This
is in violation of the state law
Cne of the struck concerns attempted
last summer, to deduct from the pay OF
its employees the cost of insurance under
the worlmen's compensation law. The
workers organized as result and since
then have been affiliated to the lnterna
tional Union of Bakery and Confection
cry Workers.

"PROTECTING" THE POOR.

New York.-The New York Associa-
ton for Improving the Condition of the
Poor is rather well-rounded title, but
it justiies its existence by the discovery
that a man-or, rather a poor man
need spend only 5000 year for cloth
ing. The list includes one suit, valued
at so, and one pair of trousers that
costs ~. If the unexpected happens to
these necessary garments, the associa-
ton saith not One necktie at % cents,
one pair of suspenders at % cents, and
four collars at 80 cents is included in
the years raiment.
The association figures that woman's
needs can be supplied at cost of As
cents less than the mans. An even half
dollar difference would probably be
classed as extravaganza.
Fl, After =, announcing it's discovery, the
association gives this somewhat needless
advice; "Clothes should be bought for
use and not for display"

TO HELP FARMERS SELL CROPS

Harrisburg, Pa.-The state commits
sion of agriculture has approved plans
for community associations of farmers,
who will pool their products and market
them under the supervision of state ex-
pertS.
The purpose is to cut down the va
rious charges between producer and
consumer and to increase the profits OF
the agricuturist by enabling him to sell
produce that now goes to waste upon
many farms.
The state agents will take charge in
localities in which these farmers have
a small surplus of various sorts of pro-
duce without any one of them having
enough to branch out as a shipper
When the local organization among the
farmers is completed arrangements will
be made to provide for a selling end of
the venture in the city that appears to
offer the best market inducements,

SHAMEFUL CONDITIONS In
SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

Chicago.-C. Nj. Brown, state deputy
inspector of factories, reports on the
shameful conditions under which strik-
ing metal miners at Rosiclare, Hardin
County, 1ve. The state official says that
the houses are built about four feet
from the ground on posts or rocks piled
on top of one another with no cement
or mortar between them
he cisterns," he continues, "are To-
Gated between each two houses, the gut
tiers on the houses are wood, the down
Spouts are wood and are rotted off Just
above the ground which leaves dirt,
bugs and filth go into the cistern. They
strain all the water through cloth before
using it and then it is not fit to wash in,
let alone drink The furnishings in these
homes are awful, no screens or Win
dows, and | never saw more flies around
the stock yards than | saw there No
carpets, no pictures, nothing but beds,
a few chairs table and stove is about
all they have, all except the men folks
barefooted. The water closets are about
so feet back of the houses no walk
leading to same, no fences around place
1t would make ones heart sick to see
how they have to live and to think that
they would have to strike in order to
get small raise in order to live"
The Illinois trade union movement is
assisting these workers, who were fore
ed on strike because of poor working
conditions, low wages and a 12-hour
day. The Farmers Union of this state
is also rendering valuable assistance.
In a letter to the organized farmers of
Hardin County officers of the state
branch say: with the eyes of the
whole state upon you, we feel that you
will aid these striking brothers of toll
by every means i'll your power"
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-07-29

The strike, together with a lockout in
volving i'll all 10000 workers, has tied
up the garment working industry in this
city longer than three months
The action refusing to ratify the
agreement reached by their leaders was
taken by the members of the union to-
day at a mass meeting attended by
scenes of disorder Schlesinger and
other leaders were denounced by the
workers for 'betraying" them by con-
senting to the agreement Police re-
serves had to be called out to quiet the
disorder. More than 10000 of the work
ers jammed the hall or the streets ad-
joining.
The agreement had been described by
leaders as offering many concessions to
the workers. After its rejection by the
workers President Schlesinger said that
there was nothing to do but continue the
strike.

LABOR is NOT A COMMODITY.

Washington. = In, speech in the
House of Representatives on the labor
sections of the Clayton law, Congress
man Lewis, a member of the labor
group, said:
Everybody understands that Section
would have been written into the
Sherman Act in 1890 had there been
any thought of the Interpretation since
made of that great act. Everybody
knows that Congress at that time had
no thought of legiSlating with regard
to the relations of employers and en-
ploye.
"While a barrel of oil is not only a
commodity in the market, it is COM
modify before the courts it is com
modify before the Legislature. The
legal attribute of a commodity is prop
erty, but the legal attribute OF the
workingman is citizenship"

Refusal of Garment Workers

New York, July 26.-Garment workers

facturers' Association and were ordered
back on strike today by Benjamin
Schlesinger president of the workers

Refusal of the striking garment work.
ers to ratify the agreement was due to
failure to provide for arbitration of diff
terences by a disinterested board, it was
learned tonight.
Robert w. Bruere former city cham
berlain, who has acted in an advisory
capacity for the workers, said the re-
volt clearly demonstrated that it is i'm
possible to arrive at an agreement that
will be fair alike to employers and to
workers, and that will secure durable
peace, without the intervention of a
board of arbitration in which the pub
lie is adequately represented"

WANT RIGHT OF PUBLICITY.

Olympia, Wash.-Trade unionists in
this state are endeavoring to secure,
through the referendum, the repeal Of
a so-called "anti-picketing" law, passed
by the last Legislature.
Legislative Agent Hughes of the state
federation of labor, says the law pro-
hibits the use of newspapers by strikers,
and that "the very things that this bill
says working men can not do, the ma
tional law says the workers may do
under the labor sections of the Clayton
law.
