MANY GET WAGE INCREASE
Advance Granted Textile Operatives
viii Affect One Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Workers.

Wage increases affecting upward of
10000 textile operatives in New Eng
land and in other northern states have
been made public. In most instances
the advance was announced as APP
proximately Is per cent Both cotton
and wooden mills are affected. The in
creases, effective June 2, bring mill
wages to the highest level on record
and in some instances represent an adj
vance of more than 100 per cent since
1915. Many Of the mills In New Eng
land have been operating on 4S-hour-
a-week schedule since early in the
year, a reduction of six hours a week
from the former schedules. This re-
duction in the working week was ac-
companied by corresponding cut in
wages. Several strikes. notably that
in Lawrence, which has been in effect
since February 8, have been ordered to
end with the allowance of higher
wages, which are made possible. ac-i
cording to the manufacturers, by Inn
provement in market conditions.

with some attempt at military cohe-
sion. The truck work, however, was
more or less of a problem Of every
man to drive his own machine.
New System Developed.
When the American army reached
France, with the greatly restricted
area of operation, the shorter dis
tances for ordinary hauls, and the in
tense congestion of the roads, it was
necessary to develop a military pre-
cision in handling Of trucks, before
that unheard of. The French trans.
port was first to develop this pre-
cision, and it's vital need was shown
in the British offensive on the Aisne
in 1917, when the enormous number
of over $500 trucks moved an entire
British corps in military formation
into the fighting line. Such column
meant nearly 100 miles of length for
the train. And to have this body of
trucks operating properly the strict
est discipline was required.
This truck discipline was first sys-
tematized on the French lines by work
and experiments at Camp Johnson,
Fla, near Jacksonville, the mother
school of the motor transport corps,
and was soon developed into book
form and standardized for the army.
Thorough Training Given.
To the commercial truck operator,
however, the work done to train the
drivers in the handling of their vehi-
cles was far more important, Every
man who went into the corps was
given a thorough training in the opera
ton of the motor vehicles, and while
the Camp Johnston school was work
ing out truck discipline enormous re
pair and Shop units were in full op.
Grafton in other parts of the country
Such, for instance at Camp Holabird
near Baltimore, and at Atlanta, while
over in the West there were such
units as at San Antonio. These were
mechanical organizations for repair
work and for shop training.

tension on these springs will hold the
rods rigid and prevent vibration and

WOMEN DENIED
LIVING WAGE
Official Of the Federal Depart
ment Of Labor Makes
the Assertion.
URGES FORMATION OF BUREAU
Mary Van kIeeck, Director of the
Women-in-Industry Service, Points
Out What She Considers
Legislative Needs.

'In spite of their record during the
war millions of women in the United
States receive less than living wage
and thousands of families are below
the poverty line for no reason except
that their bread-winners happen to
be women earning women's wages"
declared Miss Mary Van Kleeck, di-
rector of the women-in-industry serv-
ice of the United States department
of labor, at a meeting of the Woman
Voters league before conference Of
labor held at the headquarters of the
National American Woman Suffrage
association at Washington.
Miss Van Kleeck further said:
millions of women are working too
long hours for health and efficiency,
and many men and women are work
ing under conditions which are I'M
wholesome and unsafe. In many we'll
managed establishments, however,
standards have greatly improved DUR
ing the war and the time is ripe to
extend these improvements through
out industry. Continuous, careful in
vestigation by a central bureau of in
formation and government policy
formulated by women are of the ut
most importance for reconstruction in
America. Therefore, next to the suf-
frage amendment, the measure Of
greatest Importance to women before
the new congress will be to establish
on q permanent basis, with an ade-
Quate appropriation, the women's bu-
reau in the United States department
of labor"

MINOR LABOR NOTES

A seamen's strike, affecting the Aus
tralian coastal trade and the Common
wealth ship line, has been declared in
Brisbane, and there are indications
that it will spread to Sydney and Mel
bourne. The only danger from the
strike is possible shortage of coal in
all centers outside of New South
Wales, thus shutting down industries.
The coal supply has been at low ebb
for some time because of the influenza
epidemic and war conditions.
A notice was posted in the half
dozen textile manufacturing plants of
jamestown, N. Y, announcing an in
crease of Is per cent in wages and
the establishment of a 48-h0ur week.
There are 5000 textile workers in the
city who will be affected by the new
schedule of hours and wages. The in
crease was granted without any de-
mand by the employees.
Notices were placed in the Winooski
(Vt) plant of the American Wooden
company, the Queen City Cotton mill
and the Chase Cotton mills of Bur-
lington that on June a substantial
increase in wages would go into eff
feet for all employees. The American
Wooden plant employs about $500, the
Queen City plant about 500 and the
Chase mills about $50.
Union painters, decorators and pa
perhangers Of Montgomery, Ala, will
receive 621a cents an hour until May

hours constitutes day, with time and
a half for overtime and double pay for
Sundays and holidays A conference
| board was formed to settle amicably
all matters not covered by the agree
| ment.
Notices posted in the Pepperill and
York mills, Biddeford, Me-, announced
an increase of Is per cent for the 81
500 employees. The advance is un-
derstood to be the forerunner of sim
liar action by manufacturers in other
cotton mill centers.
More than 1000 employees of the
American Car and Foundry company,
Chicago, went on strike. They de-
manded more money, shorter hours
and recognition of their unions, while
some of the trades went out in sym
! pathy.
On the suggestion of the upholster-
ers' union the Chicago Federation of
Labor has favored the organization OF
furniture trades council which will
include over 10000 workers.

When Uncle Sans armies finished
the war the motor transport corps
comprised force of roughly 10000
trained drivers of motortrucks, cars
and motorcycles.
Of this great force, only about half
were trained drivers when they en-
listed for the service, so it was neces-
sary in order to have this force of
men to train $4,000 men to drive auto
motive vehicles.
y The ammunition trains, supply
trains, sanitary trains and casual mo-
torized units which first went over
seas were composed of trained driv-
ers, as a rule. Those who came after
were the men who did not know cars,
engines, or any of the problems of
driving, particularly such problems as
driving over roads under shell fire or
with the great congestion of the roads
to the fighting zone in France. The
men who came in the second great
rush of men for the army had there
fore to be trained from the very be-
ginning to know the machine, and
then to know the problems of driving
In formation on military roads.
Big Problems Presented.
The two big phases were the teach
ing of the mechanism of the truck
engineI say truck because this was
by far the more vital part of the
training of driving in military forma-
4tions of huge fleets of trucks.
Now that the war is over the prob
lem Of teaching the mechanism of the
machine is by far the more important
ia the. commercial truck operator. As
~ military formation required in
the army, this can be disposed OF
quickly.
