OLD-AGE Pensions
FOR LABOR UNIONS
BY EE Roach.

There Is much agitation and we'll
directed discussion among labor lead
ers and members OF subordinate un-
ions Of different crafts in regard to
the necessity OF caring for their mem
bers who are no longer able to stand
the mad industrial pace at present IN
vogue In the workrOoms Of factory,
office and shop. There is a humane
demand that something must be done
for those who are caught empty
handed in the last lap Of life after
they have given their sinew and
strength to pushing ahead the indus
trial wheels Of progress.
The International typographical
Union was the Nestor in supplying
old-age pensions for its members who
had reached the age OF so years, but
the organization is emphasizing the
fact that the limit must be reduced 1t
least five years, perhaps ten, and
some action win no doubt be taken at
the Atlanta convention next August.
The old-age pension roll Of the print.
ers amounts to approximately $4,000
per month. and in addition home Is
supported at Colorado Springs, Colo,
for INDECENT and tubercuiar patients,
which was the first of It's kind to be
erected by labor union.
The American Federation OF Labor
could add prestige to its leadership
in trades unionism by launching a ma
tion-wide campaign for governmental
pensions to all workers who have
reached the age Of so years.
War Loans for Pension Fund.
While trades unions perhaps would
eventually fathom satisfactorily the
difficult problem of this needed re-
form, the easiest way to the end
would be through governmental legis-
hation, and the only way to attain
what you want is through favorable
laws-the only way to get them is to
send men to Washington whose views
coincide with your own in this re-
spect.
An officer of the American Legion
graciously stated that he was sure the
members Of that Organization would
willingly relinquish their plan to have
the government convert foreign war
loans into bonus for soldiers, pro-
vided 1t should go into an old-age
pension fund for the WORKOUT work
ers OF the country, for in due course
Of time, probably at a period OF life
when they would appreciate the boon
more than now, the soldiers them
selves would become beneficiaries
He also states that as there is likely
a less number Of workers in the
country who have attained the age
OF so years than the 100000 Ameri-
can soldiers who participated in the
World War. the interest on the debt
would be sufficient to pay a small
pension to every 6O-year-old citizen
in need Of It. and would not deplete
our national treasury.

LONG TRAINS SLOW
CLAIM employees


The effort Of railroad workers to
limit freight trains to so cars is be-
ing resisted by railroad companies.
Advocates Of this measure show that
costs are very materially increased
BY the excessive overtime required of
crews to operate long freight trains.
The railroad workers point out that
when the Adamson eight-hOur law
was before Congress the railroads
law so it would increase their over
charged that the workers wanted the
time Now the employees are asking
for law that win materially reduce
overtime and the railroads change
from their position on the Adamson
law.
It Is stated that the railroads in
their efforts to obtain maximum train
and tonnage loading have brought
about a slower loading movement Of
trains which they have admitted is
less than an average speed of two
miles per hour per car per day.

Private Employment
Agencies Exposed

SACRAMENTO. Cal, April 1s.-At-
torneys for private labor agencies are
in this city to aid the fight Of these
agencies against state regulation.
Three bills on this subject are pend
ing in the State Legislature. Some
are surprised at the OPP
position the labor agencies can mass
against regulation in any form,
though 1t has been shown that more
than $1,000,O00 is annually taken
from the pockets Of workers who are
least able to bear it. The fees
charged range from 10 per cent to
one-half Of the first months pay.
Teachers agencies charge from to

ADMIT DEFIANCE OF
LAW IN MOB ACTION

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. April a.
Defiance Of law BY business men and
other leading citizens marked the leg
islative cOmmittee's investigation Of
the rioting along the Missouri &
North Arkansas railroad.
The committee was frankly told
that the strike interfered with their
business; and that law would not de-
ter them from smashing the strike.
This sentiment was behind the lynch
ing Of e. J. Gregor. and sustains ey-
cry other mob demonstration. State
officials are silent in the face Of this
