PROTECTIVE lEGISLLTION FOR WOMEN

Since the minimum wage law of the District of Co
umbia has been declared uncensttuona by the supreme
court, the employed - gainful occupations have
been advised that organization is their only
protection both by organized labor and welfare bodies
The protection that the minimum wage law gives them
in states that have acted favorable this legislation is
also in jeopardy Of the supreme court decision
Even where the minimum wage law is in force that mini
is much lower than that agreed upon between
the employers and organized employees such Laundry
Workers. Culinary Workers and needle trades Protective
legislation is great help but strong organization the
economic field necessity, by which lawmakers may be
elected to pass protective measures
The weekly bulletin Of the Federal Council of Churches
just issued makes the following statement:
"BOth and women need protective legislation. The
reason why ask for additional legislation hours
and wages is that they have found it impossible so fas
to get decent standards of work without decent standards
matter of law The employers too strong for them
to get decent wages and reasonable days work without
government help Therefore, they ask for minimum wage
laws and laws limiting the number of hours they to
work during day week Menshave asked thus far
for minimum wage laws because those who have been
ganzed have either been able to get decent wages thru
their organizations they expect to do Those who
have failed to decent family living wage have
trusted in the example set by other unions which have
ceeded and they have been content to abide in the hope
that they will be strongly organized enough at time
in the not too far distant future to get decent wages by
collective bargaining. g.
Generally the women have not been organized solid
y the and it is true that they have been in greater
need of legislative protection When they strong
y organized the opposite SEX their demands will be
sidered favorably."

MINER TRIAL JUDGE
MAKES STATEMENT

MARION, ILL.,, April 1S.-Following
a verdict Of mot guilty" in the Sec
ond trial Of the alleged Heron rioters,
the "a other cases have been quashed
at the request Of the prosecution. The
accused proved alibis and discredited
witnesses for the state.
State Attorney. General Brundage
took an especial interest in these
cases and his assistant, Middlekauff,
who aided the county attorney in the
prosecution. snarled that there is no
justice in Williamson county.
To Middlekauffs slur on the court
and his bid for sympathy from anti
union sources. Presiding Judge Hart
well replied:
"The prosecution was loud in its
praise of the court until now. l ad-
NIT Mr.. Middlekauff's superiority In
being able to make use of the news
papers. He tries HIS cases there bet
ter than in the court house. What
he says will be accepted away from
here and by very few in this vicin-
ity. The cases were nollied and he is
going away. and he doesn't care much
what he says or who he hurts, just so
he. can lay the blame on somebody
for his failure to convict in the cases
just tried. Nobody knows better than
do of the prejudice that exists all
over the country growing out OF these
killings. have not condoned, justi-
fled or excused these killings. | do
not do so now. tried my best to give
both sides fair trial. The prosecu-
tiOn was loud in its praise Of the
court until now"
The trials was the result Of the kill
ing of a score Of strikebreakers and
gunner by a mob of 5000 persons at
Herrin. this county. on the morning Of
June %, 1922. The imported men
were armed with machine guns and
high power rifles. They assaulted
citizens, became involved in hold-ups
and closed one public highway. When
they killed three unarmed miners the
mob Of citizens, with its defiance Of
law, followed.

JUDGE GARY CLAIMS
SHORTAGE OF LABOR
IN STEEL INDUSTRY
Judge Gary AowIs.

Judge Gary OF the United States
Steel corporation is again bowling for
the immigration bars to be lowered,
or, better still, throw the gates wide
open. Without doubt Gary may be
experiencing a shortage OF labor, and
why shouldn't he? Men will only
work under the miserable conditions
and 12-hour day when no other work
Is to be had. Consequently at this
time Of the year when new jobs are
to be had at work under American
conditions and hours OF labor men will
leave the steel industry where they
are nothing more than slaves. Let the
steel corporation adopt the shorter
work day and grant the employees
better conditions on the job and he
will be assured all the labor needed
without admitting more than the
quota of immigrants.
Secretary Of Labor Davis practical
ly admits that the steel industry is
about the only industry suffering
from shortage OF labor at this time.
1t is the only industry that claims a
shortage Of common labor, but a few
others claim a shortage of highly
skilled labor.
Johnson Defends Law.
Chairman Johnson of the House
immigration Commission, in a state
ment defining the law, and declaring
large corporations who had attacked
it wanted cheaper, labor. said:
IF the immigration laws are re-
laxed," stated Mr.. Johnson, for ev-
cry one immigrant who will come as
a possible employe Of the steel and
other corporations, nine will drag
down the living standards of Ameri-
can labor. These corporations want
cheap labor. Cheap labor makes a
cheap country.
Most appeals these days for more
liberal immigration laws are based on
the idea of selection" Mr.. johnson
continued. Selection for what? From
Gary's standpoint, the answer is for
work in the steel mills. In spite of
restricted immigration the United
States Steel Corporation seems TO
have done very we'll with a net earn
ing Of $4,000, 900 in 1922, in spite of

GOMPERS ASSA|LS
COURT DECISION

WASHINGTON, April 19.["The
court again ranges itself on the side
of property" is the comment made
by President Gompers on the Su-
preme Courts invalidating the Dis
trict of Columbia minimum wage law
for women.
Presumably the court followed
what, in its mind, is a certain con-
struction OF the constitution" said
President Gompers. at is notable,
however, that in practically every
case of importance involving employ
ment relations and the protection OF
humanity, the court ranges itself on
the side OF property and against hu-
manity.
The women wage earners OF the
District OF Columbia are less favor
ably situated than women wage earn
ers elsewhere. Not only are they less
able to defend themselves on the eco
nomic field, but they are absolutely
without means Of defense on the po-
litical field. This is a situation pecul-
lar to this voteless oasis.
THE Supreme Court has declared
the child labor law unconstitutional,
and this new decision, taking a prop
er and needed protection from wOm-
en-, is a logical next step in perfect
ing the doctrine that those who can
not help themselves shall not be
helped"

BRITISH WORKERS
FLOCK TO AMERICA

All steamship companies, including
the United States lines, are notifying
wOuld-be British immigrants to Amer
lea that reservations already made
from now until June 30, the end of the
fiscal year, have absorbed the remain
ing British. quota, says a London dis
patch to the New York World.
Between April 1 and June 30 about
10000 more British immigrants can
be admitted to the United States un-
der the quota law, and they already
have reserved passage. This Is the
first time since the present American
immigration law was passed that a
British quota has been filled, and is
the result Of the long continued un-
employment period in England, Scot
land. Wales and Ireland.
The total number of British-born
immigrants who can be admitted to
the United States this year is 77,342,
and up to March q passage vises had
been granted to 56,781 immigrants to
this country.
The greater bulk OF these immi.
grants are skilled mechanics from the
big Industrial cities, particularly in
Scotland. Last week 2,734 British
Immigrants sailed to America, while
IN the same week last year there
were only 826.

.LONGSHOREMEN GET
IMMEDIATE RESULT
SAD FederatIon euIIetIn.l


The State Federation OF Labor Of
Washington sent out a circular letter
last week and published 1t in the la
Dor press of the state. askig for the
cooperation of Washington labor
against the purchase of the products
Of the unfair Balfour-G Guthrie COM
pany of Portland, Ore, which is one
Of the largest firms fighting the Long
shoremen's Union of that city. The
following letter, received from the
secretary of the Longshoremens I'm
ion at Portland, shows the immediate
results obtained from this co-opera-
tion:
Portland, Ore, April IL, 1923.
Mr.. w. W. Short,
President Washington State Fedora
tion of Labor,
Seattle, Wash.
Dear Sir and Brother:
After reading the report of our del
egates to the Pacific Coast District
Convention of the International Long
shoremen's Association held In your
city April 81 last, l feel l want to
write you and express my sincere
thanks for the true union spirit you so
readily proved in the issuing of the
letter calling for the extension Of the
boycott on the firm Of Balfour-Guth
rie company and all their products,
as well as the appeal for financial as
sistance included in the letter.
can assure you that the boycott is
being felt, as the price OF flour, a
product of the Balfour-Guthrie COM
pany. has dropped SO cents in the last
two days. That speaks for itself what
organized labor can do when united
action is invoked.
The Morning Oregonian OF this
date carries a short statement from
the Waterfront Employers announc-
ing an increase In the pay Of dock
trucking. | may say that has been
the criterion in all the negotiations
with the employers. Although we are
on strike and will not benefit by this,
we feel it is a victory. We know 1t is
sign of weakening on the employ
ers' part.
And next to go will be the damna-
BILE Fink hall and all it stand for.
Again l want to thank you for the
splendid cooperation you so cheer
fully have given.
Yours fraternaly,

REASONS WHY OUR STAEE. LEGISLATURES

BY w. NJ. Short, President Washing

Sooner or later the people Of the
state must face the issue of-reorgan-
izing the State Legislature on more
practical and up-to-date basis If we
ever hope to escape its continued
control by the big special interests.
The whole system Of enacting state
legislation is antiquated and has long
outlived its usefulness.
In the early stages of the territory
and our statehood, when only a few
measures commanded the attention of
the Legislature the constitutional
provision for holding a session of the
Legislature once every two years for
period Of sixty days was fully ade-
quate. The compensation of $5 per
day then provided, when the dollar
possessed a purchasing value at
least three times as great as 1t does

URGE BUILDING BAN
ON ANTI-UNION WAR

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April 19.-The
Chamber OF Commerce committee on
labor recommends building boycott
to destroy the building trade unions.
The committee says ''the price is
not too high" to establish anti-union-
ism In this industry. Business men
are urged to develop a public opinion
hostile to unions.
The committees action recalls the
recent controversy between President
Gompers and Newton d. Baker, for
mer secretary Of war, and now Presf-
dent Of the Chamber Of Commerce.
President Gompers defended the I'm
ion shop against the individual bar
gaining theory.
The question Of costs arose in the
controversy, and President Gompers
made this comment on the charge
that organized labor is responsible
for high costs in building:
Il say to you, and think you know,
that the building contractors Of
Cleveland are incapable Of ascertain
ing, upon the basis of present records,
anything even roughly approximating
any change in per man production or
In per man cost of operations. am
sure that the building contractors Of
Cleyelan dare, upon the average, no
more advanced in methods than are
employers throughout the country.
After an exhaustive investigation the
Federal Trade Commission finds that
no more than 10 per cent Of the man
ufacturing and commercial institn-
tions Of the country know what are
their costs Of operation"
