FIGHT AGAINST
NIGHT WORKERS
Bakers Reinforced By News
From Other Countries That
. Have Abolished Night Work.

CHICAGO, May 80. - While en-
ploying bakers throughout the coun-
try are resisting the effort of their
ORGANIZED bakery workers to abolish
night work these employees show the
United States is behind other coun-
tries in this matter.
France has passed a law, effective
in one year, which prohibits work in
bakeries between 10 p. m. and a.
m. This applies to all workers who,
either directly or indirectly, are con-
cerned in the making of bread or
pastry. An exception can be made
on the occasion of fairs or holidays
or because of the temporary in
crease in population, but in all such
cases the application for an excep-
,tion must be agreed to by the work
ers.
In Spain, a royal decree. dated
April 3, this year, prohibits work in
bakeries for a period of six corlsecu-
tive hours in each "a hours, which
period must be between p. IN. and
a. m. The work day shall be fixed
by agreement between employer and
employed but in no case shall it COM
prise the six hours specified.

USURPA1|0h Of power
RESENTED BY PEOPLE

The Madison Capital Times dis
SCENTS from the decision Of the federal
court on the child labor law as fol-
lows:
"Once more word COMES from North
Carolina that child labor legislation
has been declared unconstitutional.
AFTER federal judge there has
held that the section Of the war reve-
nue. bill placing a prohibitive tax on
the interstate commerce is unconsti-
tutional. He is the same federal
judge who held the former law on
the same subject unconstitutional and
whose decision was sustained by the
United States supreme court by a
vote of S to A.
If there is one subject on which
sentiment in this country has become
settled and set it is on. the PROPOSE
ton of child labor. This country has
in no uncertain way time and again
expressed it's disapproval Of the ex-
ploitation of children in the cotton
mills of the south.
And yet in the. fact OF the sent
ment of the country federal judge
sets up barriers of unconstitutionality
and supreme court sustains him.
considerable preaching is being
done in this country about law and
order. What, however. is to be ex-
pected when the instruments of law
and order are used to subvert the in
terests and demands Of the people
through the usurpation of power
that has never been granted by the
American people-the power to de-
clare a law unconstitutional.
The American people, in our opin-
ion, are becoming more Ind more I'M
patient of this practice of permitting
few individuals, bearing no direct
responsibility to the people, to riddle
and smash laws that have been
,, passed by command OIL rAe people,"

I know boy whose name is Fat"
When we play ball he's got to bat.
When we play Injun Fat" will whine
Unless he's big chief all the time;
When we play tag he won't be it.
BY gosh! I don't like "Fat' bit!
He's got to have things all his way
And be the boss. or he won't play.
BY golly! Fiat" is like TRUST
crust!
A trust is a MONOPOLY
Which corners everything and gee!
They get control Of food and meat,
And all the things folks use and eat.
And then they can control the price
They roll up profits fat and nice.
They want to boss tho earth you see
Just like Fat" bosses boys like me!
These bossy fellers make me sore.
I'm glad the sun is far away
They might get hold of it some day.
They'd steal the AIR if they knew
how
Then things would be worse off than
now.
To pay to breathe would make US
broke,
Gee whiz! Poor folks would have to
croak!
What makes trusts selfish and all
that?
I guess they've got what's ailing
"Fat!'
Now my solution may be bum
But say, it's better far than none
I think that selfish pigs should DIE
And you all know the reasons why.
The lightning ought to strike down

And kill him as he lays there flat.
And what I think about q trust
Is that such things had ought to bust!

PUTS AMERICAN BABIES
IN AR|SI0CRAT|C CLASS

The children's bureau of the United
States department of labor has Gre
ated an "aristocratic" class for babies,
and is battling to put every babe in
this exclusive set.
To be a member of the "aristocra-
Cyl a baby must meet these require
ments: The father must earn a fair
wage; the mother must not have
been gainfully employed either dur
ing the year before or the year after
at least have fair medical care when
the baby is born; both father and
mother must be able to read and
write; the house the baby lives in
must be we'll ventilated, clean sani-
tary and not Overcrowded.
After a study of $4,000 cases the
childrens bureau reports that these
five conditions are absolutely neces-
sary for baby to secure entrance
into the "aristocracy" class.
In a study of Brockton (Mass.) ba-
bies, the bureau says that only 206
Of the 1910 babies born alive In that
city during the year could meet the
"aristocratic" requirements. Fifty
five per cent of these babies were
barred from the "aristocracy' be-
cause their fathers earnings were
less; than the standard established.
A number of, babies were unable to
qualify because their mothers could
not read and write. The report points
out that invaluable sources of in
formation on the care of her baby are
closed to the illiterate mother. The
greatest mortality was found among
the babies who live in the most con-
gested homes, although 'Brockton, it
is stated, has no acute housing prob
lem. The report recommends the pas
sage of laws that will make over
crowding impossible.

NEW YORK, May 80. - In New

Much money. time and effort Is

WON THEIR STRIKE.

HAMILTON, Canada, May 30.-Af-
ter nine days idleness the painters
and decorators won their strike for
increased wages and an eight-hour
day. The increase is ~ cents per
hour, making the new scale 52H
cents. The men have been endeavor-
ing for years to attain the shorter

modities and the cost of living "fol-
plate" processes. This little, soft
lowed by a moderation OF the wages
of labor"
This at the outset seems con-
cession. Heretofore the demand has
been for a reduction of wages first
and a promise of reduction in
prices. This latest seems new
slant.
1t is notable, however, in this pro-
posal that steel and building materi-
ais are the first things mentioned as
slated for reductions. Nothing about
foods or rents,
Labor may we'll be on guard. The
relative wage is the workers safe
guard
Lowering of prices of the neces-
stiles of life are desirable, but labor
! must see to it that the old order is
reversed.
A relative wage must be preserved
and extended. Conditions must be
! better not worse. There must be
no lowering OF the standards of life
of American workers.

THE ..WOBBLIES' IN OUR MIDST

There is great excitement among
newspapers over the I. w. w. conven-
ton in Chicago. The newspapers
discover that the I. w. w. plans a
campaign of agitation to "foment
labor troubles" and that it's goal is
nothing short of revolution
These suspicious are we'll founded.
The strange thing is that number
of persons are just beginning to dis
cover what the I. w. w. is trying
for. Newspapers-and persons
who are just finding out that the I.
w. W., one of whose slogans is
"strike at the ballot box with an
axe" has revolution as it's goal have
only their own blindness to thank for
their tardy discovery.
The only source of satisfaction is
that the l. W. w. is small in mum
bers and is not likely to grow larger

War Orphans of France Dying
 From Malnutrition and Shock

The children of France have not yet emerged from the shadow of the war. With peace assured, and a happier future opening before them, it becom- es increasingly evident that the child life of France has suffered a shock from which it is difficult to rally; while the birth rate has dropped to 8 to each 1000 population.
 The Fatherless Children of France, ar American organization co-operat- ing with a similar one in Paris of which Marshall Joffre is the head, re- ports that of the children receiving American aid to the extent of 10 cents a day under it's plan of securing American godmothers for the little French war waifs, it's records show an average of 700 children's deaths per month since the armistice.

BOXING EXHIBITION
 HERE LAST SATURDAY

Boxing fans who witnessed the bouts at the Pavilion last Saturday night were treated to an exceptionally good exhibition. The crowd over flowed the available seats and late corners could find standing room only.
 In the "battle royal" the three Kingman boys, ages about ten years insisted on considering the two Need- les boys their objective in spite of numerous words of caution from the referee. The Needles youngsters seemed quite able to defend them selves and the bout furnished as much entertainment as any of the contests that followed.
 The Lacey brothers, who look to be about years old, boxed four rounds, with their dad as referees and their exhibition of boxing was one of the prettiest things of the evening. They showed knowledge of boxing thas would do credit to many professionals.
 Goodwin won over Schuck in their six round bout. Schuck showed rare exhibition of gameness and ,nan- aged to stay the full six rounds. Goodwin had the better of the affair from the start and was always the aggressor but too much credit cannot be given Schuck for his performance. Boxing, as he was, with fully train ed man he managed to make the bout uncertain until the end. He seemed to be able to strike a good solid blow at will although wobbling on his feet from exhaustion.
 The ten round main event proved to be the least attractive of the even- ing. Gardner was in no condition for a four round bout, much less ten and in consequence fell an easy victim to Young Cook. Cooks superior reach won the bout for him in the second round and saved him from Gardners punches in the early part of the first round when Gardner showed some knowledge of boxing and his old time form. The local boy slipped to the mat in the first round and in the second was floored on two occasions. The exhibition was stopped when it became apparent that Gardner had no chance to win.
 The promoters are making prepar- ations for another exhibition to be held August 9th in Kingman.
 Goodwin and Cook will meet in ten round event. This is the logical match evolving from last Saturdays matches, and without doubt will cause some little stir of interest. While Goodwin looks to have slightly the best of it in weight and experience his, opponent will no doubt be able to make up for the difference with his straight left and long reach. This is the hardest kind of match to figure, the men are so radically different in style of action.
 Bobby Ross who claims the Welter and Middle Weight Championship of San Bernardino and Mohave Counties will meet Smiling Bill' Almond of Oatman in ten round mix-up Almond is the pride of the Hard Rock Miners" and will bring a big following of fans.

WILL GIVE SOLDIERS TRAINING AND PAY
 WHILE LEARNING

Authorized by Colonel Arthur Woods,
 Assistant to the Secretary of War.
 A distinct step forward in the work of securing employment for discharg- ed soldiers and sailors has been taken. Colonel Arthur Woods, Assistant to the Secretary of War, has made pub lie the first list of great manufact- uring concerns throughout the country willing to take discharged soldiers who heretofore have been unskilled men, and train them in special trades, paying them good wages while at work learning something better
 The Merchant Shipbuilding Corpor- ation, at Hartman, Pa., has written the following letter to Colepel Woods as a sample of what is now offered the returned fighting men, in which 300 ambitious young eX-serVice men are called for, who are willing to be- gin work at 46 to 58c an hour;
 T have your letter of July End, ad- dressed to the Merchant Shipbuilding Corporation, regarding our taking soldiers and sailors who are in need of special training, to fit themselves for skilled. work. In reply I wish to say that we have men doing this very thing on an extensive scale since early in the winter, and have taken on in addition to our own employees hun dreds of ex-service men. who are rap idly being trained and promoted to higher positions. We can use large number in addition to these which we now have, and would be very glad to have you direct to us two or three hundred husky, ambitious ex-service men who weigh at least 14O pounds, and who are willing to'start work at from 46 to 58c an hour"
 "We have found," said Colonel Woods, "that skilled men are compar-, atively easy to place, but that the diff ficult problem has been to secure sat- isfactory positions for unskilled men. This large class of ex-service men, be- cause of their army experience and CralnluS, are IIluCI HlOIc duniSlOuo than they were before they entered the war, but lack in many cases the skill in order to hold places as ex- pert and skilled workers. A large number of Americas leading indus trial plants have already established industrial training classes and 'vesti- bule schools through which it is pos sible for men of this type to become skilled worker on the job, while re- ceiving wages that will support him. A considerable amount of work was done by the United States Training Service under the Department of Labor during the war to aid in the establishment of such training classes in plants, but on July 1st this service was discontinued. A great many plants, however, realizing the impor- tant value of such training classes, are continuing the work, and many are ready to do so."
 Colonel Woods office has made the first list of concerns yhicn have work for discharged service men, and will give vocational training along em-
