SCHEME TO BEAT DOWN WAGES.
Employers Advertise for Help and
Then Tell EN- to Wait.

At recent meeting of the New
York Central Borough Board of Pub
lie improvements, Frank A. Byrne,
who is a member of the council of
national defense, spoke of the coal
situation and stated it was not due
to a shortage of lobar. Mr.. Byrne
explained the cry of no labor was used
to beat down wage standards.
"Only a few Sundays ago one of
the New York daily newspapers con-
tanned 700 Help Wanted" advertise
ments, not counting the employment
agencies" he said. "a Rochester firm
pretended to need about 5000 work
ers, and when the director of the
New York state employment bureau
made inquiry at the company's office,
was informed eve want 5000 people" !"
The director said "Give me an order
and / will get them quickly" The
answer was eve don't want them now,
but very soon"
Mr. Byrne stated something should
be done and advised that a committee
of delegates representing all the civic
associations of the city should have
an interview with President Wilson, as
Mayor Hylan has done everything he
could, but the trouble is national and
adjustments have to be made in Wash
ington.

racies, the House of Representatives
has just voted to compel the 5000
clerks in the department of agricul-
ture to work an additional hour a
day. The clerks work seven hours
now in all government offices in
Washington. If this scheme is not
blocked, Congress will compel them to
work eight hours.
1t is a scheme directed by Repre-
sentative Borland of Kansas City, a
reactionary who pretends that he is
trying to save money for the public.
Organized labor has had to fight him
on almost every measure brought be-
fore the House in years. The Fedora
ton of Federal Employees is fighting
him now, but the country politicians
have taken chance, this time, in vot-
ing with him and against the clerks,
under cover of the claim of "war emer-
Rency."
In the meantime, Congress is trying
to evade the demands of the clerks in
all departments for big increase in
pay, to meet the big increase in cost
of food, fuel, clothing and rent.

Defense Society Commends Plan for

Congratulations on "the splendid

MUSSER NAMED
TO MEDIATE IN
WAGE DEMANDS
CON T RACT MACHINISTS
AFTER MORE MONEY.
Four Hundred Employees of Denver
Shops Involved, to Meet the High
Cost of Living; Conferences Being
Held; Agreement Expected.

Negotiations are pending between
representatives of Denver Machinists
Union No. AZ and the contract shop
employers over demands of the union
for raise in wages from 80 cents to
65 cents per hour About 400 employees
of the foundry and machine shops,
many of them engaged in filling war
orders, are involved. Several meet
ings between committees of the en-
ployers and employees have been held
without reaching an agreement. This
proposition does not affect machinlsts
employed in railroad shops.
Secretary of Labor Wilson has ap-
pointed Judge George W. Musser, for
mer justice of the Colorado supreme
court, as a federal mediator in the
matter. Monday evening he held a
conference with the union committee
and later met the employers, after
which he gave out a statement that
in his opinion the wage difficulty
would be amicably adjusted.
Both sides have exhibited the
friendliest feeling in the matter" said
he, "and while it is impossible to pre-
dict what the terms to be agreed upon
will be, it is certain there is going to
be no strike"
The shops involved are engaged in
the manufacture of machinery and ma
chine parts for steam engines, ship
screws, castings and similar equip
ment. A number of these machine
shops have recently formed a coop
erative organization thru which war
contracts are to be handled, each COM
ponent company getting its share of
the work according to its capacity for
handling the same,
Continued ascendency of the cost Of
living is the reason given by the Ma
chinists Union for demanding another
wage increase at this time, and the
committee has presented statistics to
support this claim.

HOME GUARDS
IN K. {. STRIKE
SEEK TO PREVENT FURTHER
RIOTING AND WRECK
ING OF PLANTS.

Kansas City, Mo-, March %. 49,
Dawn today found the downtown
district Of Kansas City patrolled by
members of the Seventh regiment
Missouri National Guard (home
guards, to prevent a repetition Of
the rioting and wrecking of bust
ness establishments which marked
the first day and night OF the gen
eral strike of all union workmen in
the city. Guards also were sta
toned in the outlying districts
where it was thought probably an
attempt to resume the disorders
might be made.
Martial law had not been de-
clared and the guardsmen were said
to have been called to arms under
authority vested in Colonel Bryson
Jones, commanding the Seventh
regiment, to use his discretion in
case of extreme necessity. Mobi-
lization OF the regiment followed ap-
peals by Mayor George H. Edwards
to Colonel Jones, Harvey c. Clark,
state adjutant general, and Gov. f.
d. Gardner. General Clark tele
phoned from Jefferson City that he
would come to Kansas City early
today to take command Of the Sew
enth regiment.
Following a day of disorder in
which crowds estimated at times at
several thousand attacked, and with
stones and other missiles seriously
damaged nine large laundry plants,
to aid the striking employees OF
which the general strike was called.
The rioters made a night raid on
the downtown district.
Many restaurants that had not
closed in accordance with the strike
committees edict were visited and
the employees driven out, and one
of the places was partly wrecked
Mayor Edwards, who had been act
i've throughout the day and night
in attempting to restore order, was
in the big restaurant when the
strikers visited it.
Three alleged strikers were shot
and seriously wounded, one prob
ably fatally, during attacks on
laundry plants yesterday. One po-
liceman was struck on the head by

NEW CRUSADE
ON SPEEDING
WAVE OF PROTEST OVER
CITY AS RESULT OF CON-
SLANT DANGER.

The multiplicity of accidents and
narrow escapes of pedestrians, par
ticularly children on their way to
school, from speeding automobiles,
has caused wave of protest to
Mayor Roberts and he said to-
day that speeding on the streets OF
Ardmore is going to stop, il it is in
his power to bring it about.
A great deal of complaint comes
from residents along d street north
west. This is one OF the finest paved
streets in the city and is daily con-
verted into speedway for many
automobile drivers. Parents have
been compelled to so to that street
with their children to see them
safely across it on their way to
school.
The traffic ordinance now in ef-
feet was passed during the admins
tration of Mayor Mullen and was, at
the time Of its passage, printed in
small pamphlet form and well circu-
: lated. The substance of the meas
ure is, that it prohibits driving at a
greater speed than eight miles an
hour when crossing a street or turn
ing a corner, not to exceed twelve
miles on Main street and not more
than fifteen miles an hour on the
! residence streets.
Speed of 80 miles an hour in any
portion OF the city is not an unusual
occurrence. Residents of ID street
northwest claim that many cars ira
verse that thoroughfare going 6C
miles an hour.

who was crippled some years ago

who did not give her name, but who
