Unions May Build Houses.

Unless the building contractors Of
New Jersey begin to construct dwell
ings and other necessary buildings
soon, the Building Trades unions, rep
resented at a convention of the New
Jersey Building Trades association,
viii undertake a cooperative move
ment and build dwellings themselves.
"The contractors must cease maxi
ing demands for 9 lower wage SCALE"
said one of the delegates at the CON
vention headquarters at Atlantic City.
"The time is not yet ripe for wage
parings. Rent and other factors that
enter into the cost Of living must show
more substantial reduction. While it
is true some things have come down
In prices, the decrease is slight, and
rents, generally speaking, are still at
the peak. Nevertheless, many en-
ployers want to cut wages 10, 20, 25
and even 40 per cent"

New Scale for Pottery Workers.

The new schedules of piecework,
making prices in the china, general
earthenware and jet and rockingham
branches of the British pottery indus
try, have been given out. They have
been signed by the English China
Manufacturers association and the
British Pottery Manufacturers feder-
alton for the employers, and by the
National Society of Pottery Workers
for the operatives. In the china sec
tion the principle Of the 47-hour week
is conceded with the elimination of
the break in the working day hereto
fore allowed for breakfast. However,
where the recognized working week is
less than AZ hours, no change is to be
made. The new rates are retroactive,
same being effective as from February
IL, 1919. In the general earthenware
section the settlement is to date back
for jiggers, jug jolliers and cover
makers to July 16, 1920, and in the
case Of hollow ware pressers to the
week commencing November 5, 1920;
the remaining clauses are to become
operative as from December 8, 1920.

Important Court Decision.

An unusual court decision, given by
Judge George o. Driscoll of the WAYNE
county (Mich.) Circuit court, ended
a strike of about 300 men and women
employed by a large cigar manufac-
turing company here at Detroit.
The decision is unusual in that the
company that brought court action to
restrain picketing was ordered by
Judge Driscol to fulfill a verbal con-
tract said to have been made with the
Cigar-makers International union, to
rehire the persons on strike, and held
that the concern was liable for dam
ages amounting to the wages that
would have been earned by the en-
ployees during the period of the strike.

.ElGHT-HOUR DAY TEMPORARY
President Of Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company Explains Reasons
Leading to Its Adoption.

Explaining the Introduction Of the
universal eight-hour day into the
plants of the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube company, President James A.
Campbell says:
"When we reduced wages early in
February we expected that by this
time business would have improved
SO that we could operate our plant
without any change of hours. When
we found during the month of April
that business didn't improve, but If
anything grew worse, we decided that
we could not be paying part of our
men overtime while the others were
walking the streets without employ
ment.
Therefore we decided to put all de-
partments on an eight-hour basis
First, because it would more evenly
divide up the work among our en-
ployees; and, second, because it would
reduce our labor costs to some extent
by making it unnecessary to pay time
and half for all over eight hours.
We lost money in March and April,
and for this reason it was necessary
Tor us to operate as economically as
possible. This is only a temporary
arrangement, and as soon as business
VIII justify it, or we have business
enough to operate our plant on the
ola basis of hours, we expect to go
back to that arrangement.

REPORT CHILD
LABOR NORMAL
figures Given Out by United
States Department Of
Agriculture.
KEEP PACE With POPULATION
From 1915 70 1918 Juvenile Employ
ment Was at Its Height, Because Of
Foreign Orders for War Goods-
Laws Are Being Enforced.

In 1920, according to figures made
public by the United States Depart
ment Of Labor, through its children's
bureau, 1914 children took out per-
mits to go to work in II representa-
tive American cities. In 1913 the
number Of children receiving permits
in the same cities was only 67,16O
indicating an increase of over 13 per
cent between 1913 and 1920, while the
increase in population of these cities
was estimated to be IA per cent.
These cities are Baltimore, Bridge
port, Buffalo, Manchester, Minneapo-
lis, New Haven, New Orleans, New
York, Rochester, ST. Louis, Toledo
and Waterbury. More children re-
ceived permits in 1920 than in any 9TH
er year since 1913, except 1918, when
war production was at its height.
The year 1918 saw the "peak" in
the steady rise of child employment,
which began in 1914 as soon as the
effect of foreign orders for war goods
made itself felt in this country. OF
% cities for which figures are avail
able for both years, all except one
showed an increase in 1916 over 1916,
ranging from IA per cent in the case
Of Baltimore to 1877 per cent in the
case Of Toledo. In 1917 nineteen, and
In 1918 twenty-four, out of twenty
eight cities furnishing information re-
ported increases over the preceding
year in the number Of children taking
out employment certificates. In 1918
a decrease occurred in twenty-five out
OF tWenty-nine cities. In 1920, how
ever, increases were again recorded
In eighteen out Of twenty-nine cities.
The increase In 1920, said to be due
to the increased cost Of living and to
labor shortage, was confined to the
hrst half or three-quarters Of the
year. During the last half of the
year only nine cities out Of the twen-
ty-six for which figures could be Sc
cured showed an increase In the num-
Der Of children receiving work per-
mits.
The children's bureau calls atten-
ton to the fact that in some cities
better enforcement of the law reouir-
ing employment certificates accounts
for increases in the number of per
mits issued, and states that, while In
the II cities for which figures are
available for the period 1913-192O "the
number Of children taking out certi-
ncates has increased in proportion to
the increase in population, it cannot
be stated positively, any more than
1t can be denied, that the number of
children actually going to work in
1870 increased in like proportion over
the number going to work in 1913"

that he is quite human, like themselves.
The judge will be benefited by his
friendship with the ball players prob
ably as much as are the players. He
wants the boys to regard him as their
friend and confidant to whom they can
go with suggestions, complaints or
troubles at any time, SO that any mis-
understandings can be ironed out be-
fore they become serious.
Magnates Hold AIoof.
1t is the theory of Judge Landis that
If all the magnates associated more
with the players instead of standing
on their dignity and remaining apart
from the men there would not be as
much trouble. The aloofness main
tanned by many magnates, he thinks,
gives the players the impression that
the employer is not only not in sym
pathy with them, but that he is against
them.
Vernon Parish Democrat., 1921-06-23

Judge Lands shows the right idea
In wanting to make the personal ac-
quaintance Of every ball player in the
major leagues If he is to be the high
priest of baseball he ought to know
the men whose destinies he is to rule
and he shows his wisdom by getting
acquainted with them. He goes to
either the Cubs or White Sox park in
Chicago every day and visits the bench
OF both the home team and the visitors
and chats with the players. In this
way he gets to know what manner of
men he has to deal with, writes Il. @.
Walker in the Detroit Times.
Popular With Players.
1t is likely that Judge Landis will
become popular with the players and
he has already won their respect, He
doesn't want his presence to awe any
OF the players and so he gets ac-
quainted with them to prove to them

the same reason, Dodson's Liver Tone
is taking its place.
"CalOmel is dangerous and people
know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone is
perfectly safe and gives better results"
said a prominent local druggist. Dod-
sons Liver Tone is personally guaran-
teed by every druggist. A large bottle
costs but a few cents, and if it fails to
give easy relief in every case Of liver
sluggishness and constipation, you
have only to ask for your money back.
Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasant

harmless to both children and adults.
Take a spoonful at night and wake up
feeling fine; no biliousness, sick head
ache, acid stomach or constipated
bowels. 1t doesn't grippe or cause incon-
venience all the next day like violent
