SERVICE BY UNIONS TO
WOMEN AND CHILDREN

Writing in the American Teacher,
Florence G. Mortomer, vice president
of the Grade Teachers union, Wash
ington, D. c., declares that il trade
unionism had rendered no other sery-
ice to humanity, it would have justi-
fled its existence by its efforts in be-
half of women and children.
THE chief effort of the trade
unions in anelierating the hardships
of women's work has been in: the
direction OF excluding them from Ger
tain kinds of employment, in inaprev-
ing the sanitary conditions in which
they work, and in reducing, the
length Of their working day, Thus
women are ne longer employed in
mines. nor are they allowed to be
employed in trades which injure their
health or seriously jeopardize their
moral safety. The women themselves
are rapidly joining unions alreaIy
formed and are also organizing into
separate bodies i. -: =

be 80 or 40 workers in the United
States sepate--they would add to
the moral and Intelligent power Of
that body; but one would expect to
find miner IN the United States
senate about as soon as to find Pluto
tending gate In Peters place.
All this must be changed, if our
government is to function. Three
hundred lawyers--the majority of
the house-do not, can not represent
the great industrial forces of our
country.
IT our land is to have sfficient
government, at least half Of the
members of all our city, state and ma
tional legislative bodies, must be
drawn from the workers. This is
not step toward class-rule; it is d
break from the bondage of class
rule and a step toward democracy.

WASHINGTON; Jan. Is. - Many
Ameriean=born children are growing
up illiterate, according to the annual
report Of the chief of the children's
bureau, United States department of
labor.
In q survey Of five states in which
the employment OF children was gen.
eral it is shown that Of 1866 children
between II and 16 years old to whom
certificates were issued, more than
one=four'h could NOT write their names
legibly. Nearly 10 per cent had never
gone beyond the first grade, and cons
siderably more than one-half were in
the fourth grade or lower when they
left school: Only about per cent
were in eighth grade and about one
Of every 100 had reached high school.
These children were native Americans

Au10CRA1IC IDEA Of
HOW STRIKES ARE CALLED.

, The belief--or alleged belief-of
industrial autoerats that trade union
lists are "controlled by labor leaders,"
Just as the autocrat controls the lives
of his employees, was expressed by
Judge Gary in a speech in New York.
"These strikes" said the steel trust
head, did not represent antagonisnl
between capital and labor, so-called.
In most, il not all. instances, they
were precipitated by union labor
leaders acting on their own initiative.
The differences. disputes and contests
have been between union leaders and
tho managers of business"
The recent nationwide miners
strike and the vote of Cleveland steel
strikers are denials of the industrial
autecrat's theory that organized labor
10 "controlled." In the miners case
these workers refused to return to
work, despite the command of 4 fed
,eral judge that the miners officials
withdraw a strike order passed by a
convention of miners,
Ia the case of the Cleveland steel
strikers. they were advised by off,
Gals to call off the strike. The strik-
ers threw the officials cut Of office
and voted to continue the strike.

GREATER UNION ACTIVITY

In urging greater solidarity and &C.
t'Vity among the members of the
Amalgamated Association of Iron,
Steel and Tin Workers, President
Tighe made this statement in the last
issue Of the Amalgamated journal:
I'VE have seen the attitude OF the
corporate powers backed by the
financial and commercial Interests in
qpposition to the principle OF coHee-
tive bargaining,: the right to bargain
for our labor power, We have seen
the powers Of government assisted
by judicial exercises curtailing the
rights OF men to cease work. we see
attempts made by proposed legisla-
tive enactments to take away from
organized labor the only effectual
means by:which they can obtain re-
dress for. wrong imposed on them,
"All these things are living issues
before< our eyes, and unless We de-
monstrate by our activity and genuine
earnestness our determination to pre-
serve not only for ourselves but for
those ewho come after us those in
ailenable rights of American freemen
we will not have measured up to
that standard or true manhood that
is expected in the ranks or organized
labor.",
