MAKE CHILD LABOR COSTLY.

The Wisconsin industrial commits
sion has warned employers of child
labor that the workmen's compensa-
tion law makes the employment of
children under age a costly PROPOSE
tion when the child is injured. The
commission is forwarding employers
copies of decisions made by it wherein
one employer was fined 81 1,S41.2 ad-
ditional compensation because n boy
was injured while working without
permit. In another case an employer
was fined S1,041.31 because the in
jured employe was a minor engaged
in an occupation forbidden TO children
of that age. The commission gives
notice that under the law it has no
discretion, but must award triple COM
pensation to minors of permit age who
are injured while employed without
permit or at unlawful employment"
Should a minor thus employed con-
trary to law sustain an accident caus-
ing permanent total disability he may
recover S22,Sl5 as compensation, of
which the employer would be liable
for S15,210. "Do not be satisfied with
the mere statemenet of the minor or
his parent that he is above the permit
age" says the commission. 1.-The
minor and the parent may have lied,
but this fact will not protect you.
Take no chances. Be sure that you
have permits on file for all children
employed by you who are of permit
age and that you employ no minor at
an employment prohibited by law

WHY MEN LEAVE JOBS.

Workers leave their jobs because of
unfair treatment is the discovery,
after eight months investigation, by
Russell Waldo, connected with the en-
ployment department of the Stereotype
Company, indianapolis. Mr.. Waldo's
discovery contains nothing new to the
workers, but it is considered of such
Importance that it is published in the
United States Employment Service
Bulletin just prior to the close of
the war Mr.. Waldo says, in part:
at has been my privilege in the
last eight months to study in detail
the employment propositions offered
by several of the largest manufactur-
ing industries of one of the largest
inland cities. In this study l have
carefully analyzed the reason why men
left their jobs. A principal reason
l have found to be that they were re-
ceiving a wage far too small for their
immediate requirements. The work
ers could not supply themselves with
the things which would make them en-
joy their surroundings better. All
they could have were the bare essen
tials of life, some times not even that.
The employer made no provision for
the employees advancement either at
the shop or outside of working hours.
at is in this way that the wage
earners of this great nation have been
held down. 1t has been impossible for
them to educate themselves in way
that would make them better citizens.
"One of the great injustices in
fiicted upon labor today and one which
seriously handicaps war production is
the absence of fair deal to the en-
ploye"

SEAMEN AND SAILORS INTERESTS TO
BE GUARDED AT PEACE CONFERENCE

There was dangerous CLINT in the
eye of the soldier after he heard that
offer. He began to tell the boss what
he thought of il, and without mincing
words. Then he told the boss that
unless he gave him at once better
job than the one he left when he
marched out to war. everyone in that
factory and everyone in the commu-
nifty would hear the story without de-
lay.
The boss, very much frightened.
him to keep still. The incident was
reported to the war department, and
caused certain old gentlemen in high
positions there to exclaim something
about "Bolshevism."
Despite the fact that the President
and his cabinet have agreed that the
war labor boards work must go on,
during the whole period of national
rehabilitation and reconstruction,
Chairman Frank p. Walsh has re-
signed. He states that he is com
PEELED to return to the practice OF law.
He has made a big financial sacrifice
in holding the job and doing the work
he has done on the war labor board,
and he needs chance to earn some
thing to maintain his family for the
coming year. Probably he will repre-
sent some of the biggest Of the trade
unions in their legal troubles in the
future. In any case, Walsh will not
for a moment lose touch with the la
Dor movement in which he has come
to command influence.
II we may judge from the fact
that the five employer members and
Mr.. Taft voted against Walsh and the
five labor members, the other day, on
motion by Walsh to cut the red tape
that holds back awards in several hun
dred industrial disputes, then Walsh
has a very good excuse for resigning
the employers in the board are sab
otaging. They have prevented the
board from settling disputes. Walsh
has never discussed the internal trou-
bles of the board, but the hundreds
of complainants coming to the board
for justice know that somebody is
holding back. 1t has not been the
labor end of the board.
The board will go on, but 1t is likely
that its personnel will be changed II
a big crop Of strikes is not to be
raised this winter.
One of the last decisions rendered
is the taking of Jurisdiction in the
Minneapolis Steel and Machinery
Company case. The joint chairmen
decided yesterday that the board will
not permit the Minneapolis public
safety commission to interfere. Ex-
aminers are going to Minneapolis to

TO OPPOSE
WAGE REDUCTION
STANDARD OF LIVING TO
BE MAINTAINED.
Frank ]. Hayes, President of United
Mine Workers, Expresses the SEN
timent of Organized Labor on
After-War Wages.

In defeating autocracy, labor will
not accept wage reductions as its re-
ward, declared Frank ]. Hayes, presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers, in
discussing the suggestion that wages
must be cut.
"Wages have gone up during the
war;" he said, "but they have not ad-
vanced proportionately to the in
creased cost of living. All authorities
agree that there is no likelihood of
prices declining for at least year.
But despite this prophecy, councils of
employers are now devising programs
to batter wages down. 1t is this
scheming that organized labor must
combat. We cannot parley, linger,
wait. Our forces must be up and do
ing, not only to thwart attempted re-
duction but to win additional gains
to meet living costs which present-day
wages are so inadequate to cope with.
1--WE have talked billions during the
war, and as a result commercial lead
ers who used to think in millions are
now planning billion-dollar enter
prises. Corners for domestic trade,
corners for foreign trade, are the
dreams of leaders of proposed gigan-
TIC COulDlHeS W TediiZe lIlclI aiHuiIiolio.
And, of course, these leaders point
with assurance to their ability to de-
crease wages to price their produc-
ton beyond competition.
Labor must accept no reductions.
Having patriotically mined the coal,
manufactured the munitions, built the
ships and offered their sons, that made
possible the defeat of autocracy, labor
will not accept as its reward reduc-
ton in wages"

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR PREPARING
FOR COMING RECONSTRUCTION WORK
Secretary of Labor William Wilson Sends Instructions
the Different Community Labor Boards to the New
Requirements Caused by the Ending of
the World War.
To the Members of the Community

To the Members of the Community
Labor Boards:
I trust sincerely that no member
of community labor board will fail
to appreciate that the cessation of
hostilities brings new opportunities for
service and imposes new and impor-
tant duties. The country now faces
the obligation to return to suitable
employment those whom under the
stress of war it has induced to enter
its service in the field or in the fac
tory. Upon the manner in which that
obligation will be fulfilled depends in
very large measure the well-being of
the people for many years to come,
as well as the vindication of those
principles of justice which animated
US in the pursuits of war.
There is no instrumentality at the
governments command so well equip
ped to help in the process of transi-
tion from war to peace as the COM
munity labor boards, and at no time

the mischief. The alerte had sounded
for an air raid and consequently even
the few lights which are usually per-
mitted in the streets were doused. All
the windows were carefully curtained;
none of the people moved about and
our own men had long since gone to
bed in their barracks and billets.
Well, I started from the chief-of-
staffs office to my billet along a de-

to tackle the invader was signaling to
the others.
Suddenly somebody emerged from a

DETAILS RISKS Of
ENGLAND To SECURE
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Republican A. p. Leased WIre1

LONDON, Dec. 7.-Regarding Brit
1sh aid in the transports Of American
troops, the shipping controller today
made the following statement to the
Associated Press:
The real effort to accelerate the
movement of American troops began
at the end of March, when we realized
that it was necessary to do what we
could with British bottoms to supple
ment the American effort. We sent
"a mission to the United States with
the object of securing the fitting out
facilities there. So far as they were
mot required for American troop ships,
they were utilized to the maximum in
fitting out British troop ships.
ships were gathered from every
source. with the result that in six
months. between April and September
$50. 900 troops, or 60 per cent Of the
total number carried within that
period, were transported in British
bottoms. In all OF the 100000 odd
American troops transported TO France
well over million were carried in
British ships. The whole of this mill
lion were escorted to the united king
dom danger zone by ships of the royal
tnavy British shipping at that time
was in perilous situation, but in or
der to further the movement of Ameri-
Pcan troops. we were prepared to make
every sacrifice.
Outlines Steps Taken.
The following steps were taken:
From South Africa we removed every
passenger steamer and for the time
being practically killed trade with that
country From India and Australia We
removed all the fast steamers plying
TO and between those two countries
and we made very dangerous sacri-
fees OF meat supplies endangered
even those Of the British army. by
transferring these ships to the Nortf
Atlantic thus wasting refrigerator
space, as meat was not available fol
export from North American ports.
Our loss of essential imports. owing
TO the fitting out Of ships for the car
riaSo Of American troops, amounted tC
we'll over 100000 tons. That sacrifice
of imports was made at a time whor
our total imports had been reduced tC
100000 tons a year, Of which $4,000,
600 were munitions and 100000 es-
sential foods, as compared with the
peace figure of 100000 tons.
"One hundred and seventy five Brit
ish vessels, of more than 100000 ton!
deadweight, were put specially in tn,
service of carrying American troops
and we even fitted up fighting ship
for that purpose While the sacrific
TO Great Britain was heavy, the prac
teal isolation, for the time being o
the overseas dominions, involved YER
serious hardships to those dominions-
hardships which We're borne withou
complaint, recognizing. as the domin
ions did. the vital necessity of tn
measures taken"

SPRING REPAIRS

d. W. writes: I have broken one
OF the front springs of my car. Is
it possible to have 1t repaired, or
must l get q new one?
Answer: Springs can be repaired
by welding the broken leaves, but
unless the job is done by someone
who not only understands welding,
but also the heat treatment of the
particular steel used. the result Is
not likely 20 be satisfactory. AS an
emergency measure. especially when
but one or two of the leaves are
broken, and these the less important
ones, 1t is all right. When a spring
is completely broken, particularly
near Its center, we recommend a
\ complete replacement The working
Of modern spring steels is 8 decided
/ ly "fussy" matter.

Australia has refused to put conscrip-
ton into effect.
New Zealand's contribution in men
alone has been enough to attract at
tention. Of a population of 100000
the Dominion has sent to the war co.,
600 men. If the United States raised
troops in the same proportion to the
total population of the states and ter
ritories, it would have 100 times that
number under arms, or total of g.
600, 900 men.
Finally, New Zealand has set an
other sample. Last year the govern
ment asked the people to subscribe a
war loan Of s40,00O,Oo0. Instead, they
subscribed s55, 900, 900. This year, s140,-
000,0 is to be raised in loans, and the
first installment of this, s60,O00000 was
recently floated. Again, New Zealand
Arizona republican., 1918-12-08

surpassed expectations by subscribing
$50 600 900. The Dominion thus has
raised more than s122 a head in two
war loans. In addition, it has sub
scribed nearly s2O,OoO,OOO in voluntary
subscriptions. For Belgian relief alone
it has sent more than $2,500,000, or over
81 a head, abroad.
We sympathize quickly and easily
with suffering that we can see, but
New Zealand, in common with other
nations far removed from the scene of
conflict, responded to the appeal of the
destitute Belgians after judging of
their need through the eyes of a quick
imagination. In its contribution of
men and money it has shown how the
war has made the greater part of the
world, outside of the central powers,
one big family.
