Equal Pay For
w omen Ordered.
Labor Policies Board Declares
Differences In Pay Should
be Based on Productivity.

Washington, D. C.-"Women doing
the same work as men shall receive the
same wages with such proportionate
increases as the men are receiving
in the same industry" declares the
Department of Labor in a statement
just made public through the War
Labor Policies Board.
The proclamation is a decided vic
tory for the organized workers, who
have made persistent fight against
the determination of the organized
employers to substitute women work
ers for men workers because the wom-
en- could be compelled to take lower
wages. The Governments statement
continues:
"Slight changes made in the process
or in the arrangements of work should
not be regarded as justifying lower
wage for woman than for man un-
less statistics of production show that
the labor cost of job in question is
higher when women are employed
than when men are employed. If a
difference in cost is demonstrated, the
difference in wage rate should be based
upon the difference in production for
the job as a whole and not determined
arbitrarily"
The War Labor Policies Board also
rules that the basis of determining the
minimum wage for women shall be
as with men workers, not the cost OF
buying a living for the individual
worker, but the cost of buying a living
for the family. The Board says:
'The minimum wage rate should
cover the cost of living for a family
and not merely for the individual

DAY NIGHT.

Despite the fact that Wednesday
night was a holiday eve and many en-
tertainments and amusements were
being held, the machinists union meet
ing drew a packed house. The meet
ings of local No. 241, are of such i'm
portance to the members these days
that nothing can keep them away
The regular routine business was tran
sacted and many special matters were
taken up. A large class of applicants
were initiated and a large number of
new applications were read.
Several communications from other
cities were read wherein requests were
made for large numbers of skilled
machinists and toolmakers. Offers of
splendid conditions and good wages
accompany these requests. Several
communications were received last
week also for machinists. Quite a
number of the local machinists have

Cause Awful Tragedy Wherein 100 are
Killed And Wounded

New York-The worst traffic trag
edy in local history is the price this
community pays for the Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company's persecution
of trades union employees and its re
fusal to accept a decision by the ma
tional war labor board, which ordered
the company to reinstate 20 members
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers Instead of obeying the
order company officials questioned the
boards jurisdiction on the ground that
"the discharged complainants were
admittedly not in the company's en-
ploy," and referred the matter to the
trustees of the B. R. T. Employees
association, a company controlled or
ganization.
To maintain their rights and to
check victimization the employees sus-
pended work and the company order
ed train dispatcher to take out a
train of five cars crowded with GOO
passengers. On rounding a curve at a
high rate of speed the operator lost
control of the train and it jumped the
track killing 100 and injuring ap-
proximately the same number. The
wooden cars-operated by the com
pany in defiance of orders by the
public service commission-burs into
flames, adding to the number kill,
ed and injured.
The guilt of the company for this
holocaust was so evident that its de-
tenders and apologists remained silent
against a city-wide indignation anc
the management quickly complied with
the national war labor boards order
by reinstating the discharged employ
es with full seniority rights and the
strike was declared off.
The company also agrees to enter
into an agreement with the cammit
tee representing these workers

Public Employees
Should Have Unions
DECLARES MUNICIPAL
RESEARCH DIRECTOR.
DIR. BEARD.

Rochester, N. Y.-All public en-
ployees should have the right to or
ganize unions, to affiliate with ordin-
airy existing labor unions and to strike
if necessary" declared DR.. Charles A.
Beard, director of the New York
Bureau of Municipal Research, speak
inging at the session of the National
Municipal League conference on re-
construction.
Dr. Beard predicted that govern
ments, national, State and local would
greatly extend their functions and
predicted great increase in the num-
Der of public employees. Speaking of
public utilities in connection with his
topic he said:
Whenever the public is dealing
with public utility in the future il
must think Of wages in fixing rates
Speaking at this mornings session
DIR. Howard Lee McBain, associate
professor of municipal science and ad
ministration at Columbia University
predicted a continued expansion Of
federal powers. He believed that {
certain degree of war power shoulc
continue to be vested in the centra
government during the transition per.
iod from war to peace and thought
that some of the war powers of the
central government would be lasting
He opposed price fixing by the cen
] trail government because of the enor
mons practical difficulties"

Eight Hours
Enough.
Declares Henry Ford Umpire For War
Labor Board.

Washington, Henry Ford, automo-
bile manufactures, and one of Americas
large employers of labor, declares
that eight hours is enough to work
and that his experience and his rea-
son teaches him "that very few en-
ergencies ever exist in manufacture
ing business justifying the practice
of exceeding eight working hours per
day."
MIR. Ford made this statement in
connection with his decision as um-
pre- fer the national war labor board
in the case of the Machinists' union
versus the Wheeling fW Va.) Mold
and Foundry company.
The question submitted to Umpire
Ford was:
Should the national war labor
board render a decision granting the
demand of the machinists for a basic
eight-hour day with time an one
half for overtime and double time for
holidays"
To this question Umpire Ford an
swered "Yes."
Apart from his official decision, the
labor umpire said:
"But cannot refrain from express
ing my very deep conviction that the
straight eight-hour day is much better
practice than the socalled 'eight-hour
basic day. where the latter is con-
tinually and almost uniformly being
practically exceeded in the number of
working hours.
MY experience, and also my reason
teaches me that very few emergen-
cies ever exist in a manufacturing
business justifying the practice of ex-
ceeding eight working hours per day
The strain of eight hours is enough
and the hours should never be increas-
ed except under the most extraor.
dinary circumstances. | cannot dwell
too much on this. For the good of the
men, for the good of the employer
and for the general results. l would
admonish those interested to adhere
to the straight eight-hour day."

as a sprinter last Monday morning.
1t seems that as a lady stepped from
the car on which Dalton was collect
ing the change with which to buy
Kesley Schoef's Thanksgiving turkey
and by the way Johns car seems
always to be popular with the ladies'
young lad grabbed the purse of the
lady and started off with it like a
shot from a cannon. Here is where
John comes in. Of course to keep
himself in the good graces of the
ladies it was up to him to bring back
the purse and the thief. The word
went out and the city's street car
system was tied up to give John a
chance to make good. The race was
on. Up one alley and down another,
around corners and through lots it
went John begin to use his "Sher-
lock Guck" noodle and by a quick
back-track pounced upon the thief
whom he turned over to the police and
returned to the lady her purse who
was effusive in the thanks for its re-
turn.
Since pulling this hero stunt, to say
that John is heavy with the ladies is
putting it mild. His popularity
couldn't be increased because it has
always been 100 per cent with pat
rons of the road but now his car is
always so crowded that the company
is contemplating attaching trailor to
accommodate the overflow of hero wor-
shippers. Brother Dalton is one of the
real live members of the local Street
Railway Employees Union.

MOONEY
Says Disclosure VIII
Speak For Itself.
In Reg ard To California
Charges. Grand Iury
Action Predicted.

San Francisco-Thomas j. Mooney,
a San Francisco labor leader, convict
ed of murder, to-day issued state
ment, through his wife, discussing the
report of John B. Densmore, Federal
Director of Employment, who made
an investigation of the Moonex case.
The report, made public yesterday,
revealed alleged criminalties in other
cases which tend to involve many of
the officials who were connected with
the bomb explosion trial.
Moneys statement follows:
''The Densmore disclosure speaks
for itself. Just think what a similar
investigation whould have disclosed if
it was inaugurated in the early stages
of the frame-up!
"These forces cover the state of
California and labor can expect no
justice from these men, operating un-
der the guise of officialdom, unless the
Federal Government strips them of
every vestige of authority and power.
Otherwise our Government is mock
cry.
"The United States Government
should take complete control of the
prosecution of the individuals exposed
by Mr.. Densmore.
"But / am still under sentence of
death and the date of my murder is
Friday, December 13. Tom Mooney"
Grand jury action is expected to re-
suit from the Densmore report.
Frederick w. Henshaw, former JUS
tice of the California Supreme Court,
issued a signed statement to the AS
sociated Press to-day denying charges
against him, as set forth in report
to William B. Wilson, Secretary of La
Dor, published here over the sigma

Mr.. WHIT PALMER CALLED

If there is one young man in Ocala
more popular than another we know
that great many would unhesitating-
ly name Mr.. Whitfield Palmer.
He grew to manhood before our
very eyes and we have watched his
coming and his going almost with pa.
rental solicitude, and when we can
point to such splendid young men we
can, indeed, say that the American
army is made up of the very flower OF
our young manhood.
Mr. Palmer is a fine type of physi-
cal development, as we'll as in point
of culture. His business attainments
may be illustrated by mentioning the
fact that he has been Mr.. r. S. Halls
confidential clerk for a number OF
years and has given eminent satisfac-
ton. He has acquitted himself well
Mr.. Palmer has been called to the
colors, and will start for Camp John
ston about next Tuesday. He will
carry with him the best wishes of a
host of friends.
