LOW WAGES OVERLOOKED.

New York.-The Russell Sage Foun
dation has published the results of a
survey OF Springfield, ILL.,, charities. 1t
is shown that as many as 1,764 families
received some kind OF charitable aid in
1913, the year studied.
In press review, the Foundation
says:
"The chief factors in making these
families dependent or abnormal were
found to be tuberculosis, sickness other
than tuberculosis, widowhood, irregular
school attendance, desertion and intem
perance Unemployment. non-support,
mental deficiency. crippled condition and
blindness were also factors OF impor-
tance in producing abnormal conditions"
No reference to the evils OF low wages
is made in the press review, which is
furnished editors with this significant
statement by +. g. Routzahm OF the
Foundation:
The following is submitted in the
hope that, if acceptable, it may prove a
slight contribution towards securing
more general appreciation of the spirit
and purpose OF modern organized
charity

SECTIONS OF WORKMEN'S BILL
PUT BACK by HOUSE WHEN
MEASURE IS PASSED.
Provisions Rcinstatcd i'm Compcnsa-
ton Act After Being Stricken
Out by Kentucky Senate.

Frankfort, Ky.-Without a dissenting
vote the House OF Representatives to-
day passed the workmen's compensation
act
The House reinstated Sections - and
"a of the original bill, which were strick-
en- out by the Senate. These sections 20
back into the bill as Subsections 7Ga
and 76b
Subsection 76a provides if any en-
ployer fails to elect to come under the
provisions OF the act he shall not be
permitted in any damage case to plead
the common-law defenses, known as the
tellow-servant rule, contributory negli-
gence and assumption OF risk.
Subsection 1Gb provides that an en-
ployer who does come under the bill
shall have the right to plead these de-
fenses.
Representatives William Duffy and
William Hobbs made the fight for the
bill, and made speeches in explanation
of the sections relating to common-law
defenses. Duffy declared the bill would
be valueless unless these sections were
reinstated.
Hobbs insisted the sections are fair
to both employer and employe and that
the bill would be "a farce and a fraud"
without them.

of the standard to be trusted with such
a responsible duty The report goes on
to say the grand jury was unable to find
the influence of any foreign Government
being responsible for the riot.
Why Gary Is Indicted.
Judge Gary has been indicted indi-
vidually,' said County Prosecutor A. M.
Henderson, because the evidence laid
before the grand jury tends to show he
is the dictator of the iron and steel in
dustry in the United States"
In naming Judge Gary as the die
tator of Steel" Henderson declared he
was the sole individual indicted because
it was necessary for the grand jury to
rely on information furnished by officials
of other companies. He refused, how
ever, to make public the names of steel
men who had testified during the inves-
tigation.
They were witnesses in the grand
jury's inquiry" Henderson said "and
they will be compelled to tell their share
and that of Gary and the corporations
involved in the conspiracy the indict-
ment charges existed
To Call Trial Soon.
prosecutor Henderson tonight de-
clared the trial of Gary and the six in
dicted corporations would be held
within month. He said an effort
would be made to prove that the al
legged combination to fix the price OF
labor brought about the unrest among
laborers, which resulted in the East
Youngstown strike riots.
'lf Judge Gary does not come to
Youngstown voluntarily for trial we will
bring him here" the Prosecutor said.
Should the defendants be convicted
the Court could not order a dissolution
of the alleged unlawful combination
and, according to Prosecutor Hender-
son, he is planning to commence civil
suit seeking to dissolve it.
Prosecutor Henderson today engaged
Attorney H. H. Wickham, OF Youngs-
town, as special counsel to aid him in
the prosecution of the cases. He de-
clared that the Federal Government had
had no part in the investigation, and he
does not know whether the Department
of Justice would offer its cooperation
in trying the cases.
James A. Campbell, president of the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company,
tonight denied that his company had any
part in wageixing agreement
The labor advocate. [volume] (Cincinnati, Ohio) 1912-1937, 1916-03-11

Tube police force, who was an officer in
the local National Guard, without au-
thority of the commanding officers, took
ten members of the guard to the armory
in this city and had them remove uuan-
titles of Government ammunition for
the defense of the sheet and tube plant.
While there was no intent to rob the
Government or to leave the city without
the National Guard defense, this section,
the grand jury said, was censurable.
County Prosecutor A. M. Henderson,
who conducted the inquiry, announced
today that the trials of the steel cor
porations will start in thirty days and
will be pushed without delay. 1t is likely
the case against the United States Steel
Corporation will be the first to be tried.
Witnesses Are Spared.
indictments were not returned against
any of the officials of the local steel
companies" said Mr.. Henderson, be
cause most of the officers were summon
ed to testify before the grand Jury
When the various companies are
brought to trial the heads will act as de-
PENDANTS
James A. Campbell, president of the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company,
denied the charges. THE United States
Steel Corporation fixed its own wage
scale and announced it before the
Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company
knew anything about it," he stated. I'VE
never had any understanding on these
questions with other local manufac-
turerS."
w. A. Thomas, president of the Brier
Hill Steel Company and John o. Pew,
president of the Youngstown Iron and
Steel Company, refused to comment on
the indictments.
Conspiracy Is Alleged.
The specific offense charged against
the six steel concerns is that they con-
spired to keep the wages of common
labor at the same figure at the time of
the strike at the Republic Iron and Steel
Company and at the Youngstown Sheet
and Tube Company in January.
Announcement was made by all these
companies within two days time of a
ten per cent increase in wages. This ac-
ton is held to be due to an agreement.
Guards on the sheet and tube company

EDUCATION MOST IMPORTANT.

San Education is the
most important industry in the United
States. The most American thing is our
school. The most democratic thing in
America is our system of education,
which gives equal opportunity to every
child, regardless of race, creed or eco
nomic conditions of the parents, to ac-
quire an education that fits the child to
enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness" declared DIR. p. p. Claxton,
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton. ar.
THE public schools must be the
foundation of our institutions of liberty"
continued DR.. Claxton. I'VE are spend
ing now three times as much money on
our common schools as we did years
ago; five times the amount on colleges
and six times the amount on normal
schools.
During the last Is years the number
of children in the high schools has in
creased 200 per cent.
1T is most difficult to judge in mat
ters of education whether you are get
ting results. You cannot judge what
your children carry away with them at
the end of a term or at the end of the
school year
Education is the fitting for life The
demands of life are constantly chang
ing. What is good today will be out of
date tomorrow. Education can never be
perfect in any continuing way"

months ago. The seven parties named
were indicted in one true bill, which con-
tanned 62 counts. one for each day be-

The penalty on conviction is fine of
$50 to $4,000, or imprisonment of six

The grand jury also returned indct-
ments against Mayor w. H. Cunning

A. r. Birch and A. F. Birk, East
Youngstown The councilmen are
charged with having been financially in
terested in property purchased for vii
lage purposes. Mayor Cunningham is
charged with having aided and abetted
in the purchase of the property in ques-
ton.
The grand jury report, submitted with
the indictments, sets forth that the grand
jurors were unable to fix any particular
cause for the recent East Youngstown
reign of anarchy.
The report flays Mayor Cunningham,
of East Youngstown, and the police force
for failing to make any honest effort to
disperse the crowds or to control the
situation" and calls attention to the fact
that labor troubles in Youngstown at the
same time were handled successfully
by no greater force than could have been
gathered by the East Youngstown Of

ward campaign. International and ma
tlonal unions will be asked to assign
representatives to assist.
Rochester. n. Y.-Trade unionists
have formed an organization to conduct
a vigorous labor forward campaign.
Charles c. Gorham, chairman of this
committee, says:
I'VE intend to inaugurate a definite
organization campaign that every worker
may understand the principles of trade
unionism. This new movement has not
for its purpose the starting of strikes
or the stirring up of trouble; nothing is
further from our minds. We wish to
eliminate trouble, as far as possible. and
prevent possible breaks between en-
ployer and employed"
Dayton, Ohio.-The labor forward
movement in this city was far more sue
cessful than anticipated. As Dayton is
the home of a former president of the
National Association of Manufacturers,
this influence has made possible the
backlisting of many active trade union
lists. AS result of union agitation, over
a score of unions have reported sub
stantial gains and five new locals have
been organized Representatives of
twenty-three national and international
unions were here and new vigor has been

KENYON MADE THEM HUNGRY

Senator Kenyon stirred the SEN
ate to high pitch of hunger the other
day. He was talking about child la
Dor. In the course of his talk he
drew a picture of a farmers boy sit
ting down to an old-fashioned coun-
try dinner.
The senator was contrasting the
life of the factory boy and the farm
boy. He said that while the farm boy
worked in the fields, rested at noon by
turning the grindstone, MIXED the
COWS and so on, still he went swim
ming and fishing, saw the circus, and
had pretty good time.
