first of October.
'"The Chicago college, as we'll as
similar ones throughout the country, is
one Of the experiments in workers ed

Agnes Nestor of the Woman's Trade
Union league. There is a general
trend toward greater degree of edu-

they have not had the educational ad-
vantages they desire, and have not the
entrance requirements for a regular
college. The Trade Union college Of

A pretty young Swede and an Ameri,
can girl were crossing the Ellipse, re-
CARELESS Of a lettered warning to keep
of the grass. A bicycle policeman
wheeled up to ask If they couldn't see
the sign, whereupon the American
whispered to the other to answer him
in Swedish. The little foreigner burst
forth in excited mystlfying language
and the other girl Clipped in with the
few words Of her own acquired stock.
Realizing the impOssibility of enforc-
ing the law on two young and attrac-
tive aliens, the officer not only per-
mitted them the right Of way but
took the trouble to point out the monu-
ment, government buildings and like
public views.
When she got the chance the Ameri-
can girl asked her friend what she had
said to the pOllceman-and that up-
holder Of the law may be interested
In the answer.

think Of was the Lords Prayer. And
I gave him that from start to finish."-

OTHER LABOR NOTES.

AS a sequel to the long continued
suspension of work in the textile in
dustry Of the Baden district, the
textile manufacturers decided to shut
down all the factories. This measure
affects $4,000 workers.
Cleveland members of six railroad
crafts affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor at mass meet
ings pledged themselves to obey the
orders of the railroad department Of
the federation. MachinIsts, boiler
makers, car repairmen, blacksmiths,
sheet-metal workers and electrical
workers attended the meeting. They
agreed not to engage in any sporadic
or local strikes and to follow implicitly
the strike program as arranged by the
union chiefs.
One Of the notable things in Ger
many is the growth of the trades
unions. The General Federation of
Labor which includes nearly all trade
uniOnists, numbers something more
than 100000 members. The control
Of this organization is centralized in
Berlin. The methods of the organiza-
ton in general have been conserva-
tive and 1t has been one of the great
est forces, If not the greatest force in
all Germany in bringing about orderly
conditions in critical times
A loss of $267 ,469.2O was borne by
miners of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company in Colorado during the first
seven months of 1921, according to
testimony given before the state In
dustrial commission by E. H. Weitzel,
general manager of the company Mr..
Weitzel gave testimony tending 10
show that the high cost of coal has
caused a shutdown in the allied indus
tries of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
company, throwing seven thousand
men out of work Mr.. Weitzel de-
clared that proposed wage reductions
for employees Of the mines would per-
NIT the cOmpany's steel mill at Pueblo
to reopen; that they would make the
cost of coal lower for the public, and
would make more earnings for. coal
miners, who, he said, would be able
under the reductions to work more
regularly, as coal production would be
stimulated

rendered to Governor Morgan Of West
Virginia at Charleston. They are
charged with murder In connection
with the killing Of three men in the
Tug River battle in May, 1920. They
are also under indictment for murder
in Hogan county.
Average weekly earnings for all In
dustries In Wisconsin at this time are
$3.50 per week, which is about 1851
less than the peak, which was reached
last August.

sAFEeUARDINe THE cHlLp
Unique Methods Developed In Wilson,
elm for the Protection Of the
Young Wage Farmers.


How one state has developed UNIQUE
methods Of protecting her youngest
wage earners is shown in a reporr is
sued by the United States Department
OF Labor through the chiAdren's bu-
reau, describing the employment-cer-
tificate system in Wisconsin. This
report is the fourth of a series deal
ing with the administration Of child
labor laws, previous reports having
summarized methods Of administration
in Connecticut, Maryland and New
York.
In Wisconsin the state Industrial
commission has control over both the
Issuance of employment certificates
and the inspection of industrial estab-
Hshments. It has general supervi-
sion over the officers granting work
Ing permits and also has sole author
lty to appoint these officers. This
centralized authority is strengthened
by the commissions power to interpret
legislation through its own rules and
regulations, which are legally binding.
Moreover the commissions work of
protecting children from Illegal en-
plOyment is made more strict by it's
power to bring civil action, instead of
only criminal, for nearly all child
labor violations; the employer may
thus be made to testify and to produce
his records.
Children between fourteen and sew
enteen years of age must secure per-
mits before they can enter industrial
employment, and are afforded special
protection in their work. This is a
higher age than that prevailing in
most states. All important cities and
towns in the state maintain voca-
donal schools at which part-time at
tendance of all employed children be-
tween fourteen and seventeen years
Of age is compulsory. The Industrial
commission is represented on the
board of vocational education. The
apprentice laws, requiring in connec-
tiOn with shop experience a certain
amount of formal instruction, together
with the vocational school system,
give Wisconsin unique opportunity
for leadership in the vocational train
ing movement.
In spite of its many advantages,
the Wisconsin law has several weak
points, the most serious being that
physical examinations of children en-
tering industry are not required; how
ever, such examinations are now made
in the largest city, Milwau-
kee, by order of the Industrial COM
The possibility Of a child's work
ing without a permit Is reduced to a
minimum by an exceptional provision |
Of the wOrkmen's compensation law.
If a child of permit age is injured |
while working without a permit or
in a prohibited occupation, his en-
ployer must pay three times the COM
pensatiOn ordinarily required, and he |
cannot protect himself from his addi- |
tiOnal risk through insurance.

GENERAL LABOR NEWS.

Twenty-fOur states pay wages to

Eighty-five per cent of single mills

against q reduction in wages. One
half of the strikers are said to be
Chinese.
The United Association of Plumbers
and Allied Trades unanimously adopted
resolutions for an international eight
hour day, with half holiday on Sat
urday. A proposal to elect officers by
a referendum vote was defeated.
With the acceptance by the en-
plOyees of a cut in their present wage
scale amounting to approximately %
per cent, the long standing differences
between the International Longshore-
mems Association on the one hand
and the United States Shipping Board
and the American Steamship Owners
Association on the other, have been
adjusted.
On Sept. l, 1921. private American
ship yards were building or under
contract to build for private ship
owners 1853 steel vessels of 581, 6S1
gross tons. compared with 179 steel
vessels of 645,224 gross tons on May
2, 1921. These figures do not include
government ships or ships building or

The new South Wales Textile Work
ers' union proposes converting the old
Parramatta Jail buildings into wooden
mills and to establish company to be
known as the Cooperative Wooden
Mills, with a capital of $972, 1000. It is
intended to manufacture the whole of
the wooden goods required by the
government, to be ultimately con-
verted into clothing for the police
force and other government employees.
Arbitration Of differences with en-
plOyerS and resort to strike only where
the latter refuse to settle questions
through arbitration was recommended
by W. D. Mahon, president of the
National Association of Street and
Electric Railway Employees of
America. In making his biennial re-
port to the convention, President
MahOn declared a strike "creates
public opinion which usually compels
arbitration in the end, so tlAht the
part of wisdom and good public policy
is to arbitrate in the beginning"
