ROAD CONTRACTS
Better Let i'm Fall Than
Spring

Washington.-Em Employment can be
promoted and waste eliminated if road
and highway contracts are let in the
fall instead of in the winter and
spring, is the belief of a group of
engineers who were asked to study
this question by Secretary of Com
merce Hoover.
President Gompers has forwarded
copies of the report to A. F. of L.
affiliates who are urging their various
state, county and municipal govern
ments to make effective this declara-
ton by the last A. F. of L. convention.
"To make immediate provision to
carry on such public works as they
may now have under consideration"
In urging the awarding of road con-
tracts in the fall, the engineers say
that the practice of spring contracts
is an avoidable waste,
SIN the middle west in the spring
letting" it is stated, "there are 142
working days for grading and 104
working days for concreting, compar-
ed with the longer time in the fall
letting of 207 working days for grad
ing and JAP days for concreting.
"The difference in production cited
discloses three principal advantages
which may be obtained through a
longer working season. These advan
tages are: Better car service, less
fluctuations In construction, compile
tion Of highway programs.
"a late start in the spring has been
found to make the greatest demand
for transportation in that industry
coincide with the peak demand for
transportation in numerous other in
dustries, and some action is needed
to make the demand more uniform"

PATERNALISM VS..
TRADE UNIONISM

Indianapolis - The Pennsylvania
railroad is circularizing the country
with a pamphlet which eulogizes the
paternal pension system of that cor
poration.
In opposition to this system is the
pension plan of organized labor, illus
trated by the International Typo
graphical Unions pension system.
The difference between the two plans
are:
Railroad employees and officials
from 65 to So years of age, inclusive,
who, after 30 years or more in the
service become disqualified from sac
tive duty" are eligible" for pension.
The union printer automatically
draws pension if he is so years of
age, has been in good standing in the
union for 20 years, and fails to secure
sustaining employment.
Railroads pension is based on / per
cent of the employees or officials reg
ular monthly pay for the 10 years
Immediately preceding retirement,
multiplied by the years he has been
in the service of the Pennsylvania
railroad, but no pension must be less
than SIS month. Under this system
if worker was employed SO years
and his average monthly pay for the
last 10 years was $50, his pension
would be 80 times 80 cents, or $24
a month.
The printer pensioner receives a
fiat So week without running the
risk of having his wages cut in his
declining years, and have these rates
the basis for his pension. Wages
earned by the pensioner are not con-
sidered under the union system.
Pennsylvania railroad officials ad-
minister that pension. The printers
administer theirs, with every men,
Der of the union-pensioner included
having a voice and vote in it's
affairs.
The railroad maintains it's pension
entirely by funds taken from it's
treasury. This generosity" is always
made public when the railroad wants
to lower working conditions or check
| wage movement.

OFFICIALS ARE GEARS

Madisonville, Ky.-The sedition or
syndicalist law was condemned by the
annual convention of the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. This bill was pass
ed when the people were led to be-
lieve that our national institutions
were endangered several months ago.
One feature of the law provides that
any town marshal or constable may
stop public speaker for statements
that the town marshal believes may
lead to unrest,
Under this law trade unionist can
not speak on the evils Of child labor

hor is employed.
When Governor Morrow signed the
bill he questioned its legality. Since
then he has publicly and privately
favored its repeal.

nearing completion and the work is
at least so days ahead of the sched-

wages saved under this plan Offset
all argument for reduction in pay.
Under our agreement with the own
err plan the contractors saved more
than double the amount in wages

they would have saved with the 20

are about to sign one to cover an
eight-story hospital building. It will
not be a great while until all build

names and they select the one they

"The owner holds these general
contractors responsible for the acts

told the work must be done on q

'The trades take care Of the eree-
