BILL FORFEDERAL
EIGHT'-H0UR DAY

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2s.-rhe, A..
F. of L. aiding the National Fedora
ton Of Federal Employees in it's fight
against Congressman Borland's al
legged "eight-hour'' day. Government
employees now work minimum Of
seven and one-half hours, with half
an hour lunch time included. This
irritates Congressman Borland, whose
home is in Kansas City, Mo. The
lawmaker can see nothing more i'm
portant in these war times than to
increase hours. He talks Of union
hours,' but his amendment to the
agricultural appropriation bill makes
no reference to overtime or extra
pay, which are features Of union con-
ditions. He talks Of government en-
ployes being in favored GLASS;" be-
cause they have. a 30-days' leave every
year, but he fails to state that this
leave is optional with department Of
ficials.
The objectional amendment was put
in the house agricultural appropria-
ton bill when few members were in
attendance and the bill is now in the
hands Of the senate agricultural COM
mittee This fight is most important,
for if a precedent can be created it
will be applied to all pther depart
>ments. Txade unionists are urged to
write their senators to vote against
the Borland ''eight-hour" amendment.

The annual migration of Richard

hearts of loyal local theatergoers
again just as it has for the several
years when that delightful Hawaiian
romance comes to the Lyceum thea

This il the. play that made the
;ukulele famous. 1t gives promise of
retaining Its popularity for many years
TO come. This is due, perhaps, to the
fact that: Oliver Morosco has never
allowed the high standard of the cast
and production to be lowered.
This year 1.-THE Bird" is rounded out

Washington Official.

WASHINGTON, Feb, 28.-Coming
generations Of Americans are endanE-
cred by the indiscriminate rush Of
women into industry. Women should
enter only those lines Of work not in
furious to their health and morals.
There are plenty of men to take care
Of the manual labor jobs-and when
the supply fails men in office and
light work" positions should be re-
placed by women.
This is the warning Of Mrs. Hilda
Mulhausen Richards, chief of the
women's division of the labor depart
ment.
Don't try to be conductoresses or
munitions workers because you think
it romantic" Mrs. Richards said.
There are plenty of floor walker and
ribbon counter and office jobs which
can be handed over by their patent
leathered masculine possessors.
II have just returned from New
York, where I saw women running
street cars. I found the picturesque
conductoresses working from IL to IA
hours a day, undergoing heavy strain
and under very unfavorable moral
conditions.
''There is no pressing need for
women rushing into such Jobs now

Employers of this city are making: no

The Citizen, official paper of the trade

1.-THE unions call attention that In

with the government, whereas in many
cases, employers ignore the govern
ment If owners Of ship yards can
refuse to pay wages agreed upon by
the federal wage adjustment boards
If mill owners and contractors can
ignore the recommendation Of federal
mediators for an eight-hour workday
and living wages, and If master BUTCH
ers can violate their agreement with
representatives of the government and
open and close their shops when they
see fit, the union men of. Los Angeles
will demand that federal representa-

ity to compel employers to be as loyal
to the government as the wage earn

the greedy employers to cooperate
with the government, the working
men will ask that they be relieved Of
any agreements they may have en-
tered into, in order that they may act
in such manner as will best protect
their interests. Trade unionists be-
lieve that once an agreement is
reached, it should be lived up to and
that when it is broken by one party
