BARRIERS AT BUFFALO.

Anthony Merlino, one of the dele
gates from the New Haven BARRIERS
Union to the international convention,
the 18th, to begin at Buffalo at 9 o'clock
on Tuesday morning, September g,
1919, A. D. admiral Dewey, is study
ing some of the subjects that will arise
at the convention. One concerns the
problem of "once member always a
member This rule is in force in
Typographical unions. Among the
BARRIERS, a journeyman ceases to be a
member of a union when he becomes a
boss. This rule is supposed to have
originated in an association composed
mostly of theatrical employees and
which was called the Raspberries. Their
slogan was "Once a. Raspberry, always
a Raspberry" According to the official
organ of the Journeymen BARRIERS IN
ternational Union of America, there is
to be quite discussion on the project
to admit women to membership in the
union. The question of a sick benefit
fund for lady BARRIERS will have to be
considered for if they become members
they will be eligible for all the bene-
started in training for the convention
fits There are not any statistics at
hand to show how much sickness there
is among lady BARRIERS. Mr.. Merlino

SMALL PAY FOR
CANDY MAKERS
Less Than Living Wage for
Women Candy Makers Says
Government Report.

Washington, May 16.-Earnings of
$500 per week by women candy makers
i'll the busy season and $5.62 in the dull
season, representing an increase of 40
per cent. since 1915 for these women,
with S18.35 per week for men in the
busy season and $1O.41 in the dull sea-
son. representing an increase of Is per
cent. for the men since 1915, are some of
the figures given by Miss Mary Van
kleeck. director Of the Woman-In-
Industry Service of the y. S. Depart
nent of Labor, in a report made public
in Washington today as the result Of
an investigation by this branch of the
candy trade in Philadelphia, which is
one of the large Centers of the candy
industry In the United States.
The investigation was undertaken by
the WOman-In-InduStry Service, with
the cooperation of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in response to a request from
the Women's Trade Union League of
Philadelphia. The report will be Sub
Ject of discussion at the biennial con-
vention of the National Women's Trade
Union League in Philadelphia the first
week of June.
The irregu1arity OF employment, as
we'll as the low wages of the workers,
are the particular conditions in the in
dustry for which the working women
assembled at the convention will seek
some remedy. Nearly half the women
candy-makers, ASS per cent, are laid off
in summer. Of the men, only "a per
cent are laid off in the dull season. Not
only are so many of these women work
ers laid off, but their earnings, because
of short time, are cut in half. 1t is
expected that the National Women's
Trade Union League convention will
urge a REORGANIZATION of the industry
to regularize the market, in addition to
the campaign already under way TO or
ganize the workers..
Meantime a special meeting has been
called by the local league to give pub
licity to the facts concerning the indus
try and arouse public sentiment to cor
rection of the situation. .--~el
The report shows only ore woman in
so in the candy trade of Philadelphia
receiving as much as $14 per, week,
while the most recent finding Of official
minimum wage conferences, that Of the
District of Columbia, has reported
$3.50 ~er week as the minimum wage
upon which a woman without depend
ents can maintain herself at a proper
standard of living in, that locality.
Candy-naking, Miss Van K1eeck's
report points out, was one of the war
industries, its products being on the list
of essential supplies for the army in
France. In normal times, according to
the last official figures Census Bureau,
1910, its output was worth $170.000.h00
per year. and it employed some $1,000
workers, in more than $500 factories,
located chiefly in New York, Massachu-
sets, Pennsylvania, and Baltimore. Six
ty per cent. of the workers are women.
and ~ per cent. of them are under 20
years of age.

ARTHUR HENDERSON
TO VISIT AMERICA
Famous British Labor Leader
Expected to Tour Country for
American Labor Party.

New York, May 16.-Arthur Hender-
son, the British labor leader, probably
will visit America early in the fall on
the invitation of labor organizations in
New York City to confer with all per-
sons and unions desiring to form an
American labor party,
Henderson is in Paris to meet men,
bers of the Berne executive committee
for discussion of the peace treaty.
Judging from the Labor manifesto.
British labor disowns the treaty Never
theless, conversation with leaders of
various sections of the party leads to
the belief that the hostility will not go
as far as might be supposed. Extren-
ist Laborites such as Ramsay MacDon-
aid, antagonistie to the moderate e1e-
ments, console themselves with the
thought that the peace is not as bad as
might have been expected. They de-
part in no wise from their former opin-
ions, but declare that the treaty is cap
able of generous Interpretation if Ger
many shows a change of heart.
According to one prominent Laborite,
the peace is much better than would
have been obtained if President Wilson
had not overcome the chief Labor crit
icism directed to the territorial sec
tons, wherein was seen unfair applica-
ton OF the principle of selt-determ1na-
ton.
Extreme labor leaders consider pen
sion payments to the Allie soldiers by
Germany an unfair application of the
IA points, but look to the League of Ma
lions to right such questions if time
shows that they involve injustice to
Germany
President E. L. Hanna, of the Cen
tra1 Federated Union, of this city, said
that if the report of the acceptance by
Arthur Henderson of the invitation TO
come to America is true, he probably
will come under the auspices of the
new American Labor Party. Mr.. Hanna
said that Mr.. Henderson will probably
tour the country in behalf of the new
party, and will preach the necessity of
independent political action by labor.
Mr.. Henderson is secretary of the
British Labor Party and one of the fore
most figures in the British labor move
ment He was for time member of
the British War Cabinet, but resigned
in, 1917 as result of disagreement
with Premier Lloyd George on the
question of the international Socialist
conference at Stockholm.
