R. R. Company 'UniOn" Fails to
 Impress Labor

Altoona, Pa, Nov. 24.-Propaganda by the Pennsylvania railroad has failed to convince it's shop employees that this corporations union" is a substitute for trade unionism..
 The tinsel of this alleged democra- cy has long since worn off and the workers now see that the purpose and intent of the company union" is to keep workers out of genuine labor or ganizations
 The Labor News, .puylished in this city, declares that if the shop men were given an opportunity to express themselves they would unhesitatingly vote for the shop mems federation to represent them Instead of a make believe committed which was brought about by a group of executives to whom justice is an unknown word and democracy is a mockery."

Compulsory Labor
 Is Again Revived

Philadelphia, Nov 24.-The cen turies-old scheme of making man work against his will is revived by Dr. William Draper Lewis, professor of law at the University of Pennsy1- vania It is Dr. Lewis solution of the coal situation. His plan provides for the appointment of the usual com mission, which will have power to er- force it's decisions "in respect to any thing connected with the industry, including prices, wages, methods of production and distribution, and also to recommend legislation"
 If the commissions recommenda- ton is not observed, it may swing 'the big stick" at it's discretion and issue an order directing compliance with the recommendation, which will be subject to review by specified court. $E
 Dr. Lewis, a professor of law, ad- vocates this procedure, through the United States supreme court, in set ting aside the wage-fxing section of the aKnsas compulsory labor law, said:
 "It has never been supposed, since the adoption of the constitution, that the business of the butcher, or the baker, or the tailor, the wood chop per, the mining operator or the miner was clothed with such a public inter est that the price of his product or his wages could be fixed by state regulation"

Oregon Workers Urge
 State Compensation

Portland, Ore, Nov 24.-The or ganized workers in this state have de- clared for state-contro1led compensa- ton insurance. This action was taken by the convention of the State Fed eration of Labor, which indorsed the proposal to place on the ballot by in itiative petition a constitutional amendment authorizing such a step It is intended to have the people vote on the question next November. Off, to give every assistance to this cain paign.
 The convention asked Governor Pierce to appoint commission of nine citizens, composed equally of representatives of organized labor, farmers and business men, to investi- gate the whole subject of compensa- ton insurance and report to him.
 The unionists charge that we'll organized campaign has been under way for several years to induce em- ployers to withdraw from the state fund and carry their own insurance or place 1t with private companies. In surance companies it is stated, have been making rates that are entirely inadequate until they destroy compe- tition.
 The unionists' action means that the private insurance companies will throw every power at their command to continue the exploitation of in jured workers. The A. F. of L. has roundly condemned this policy and favors the Ohio plan of state-con- trolled compensation insurance.

Losses From
 Strikes Unknown

Boston, Nov. 24.-The Industrial Review, issued by the Massachusetts department of labor and industries, is the latest to dispute the claim that strike losses can be computed. The United States bureau of labor statis- tics and other recognized authorities have shown the futility of this pro- posal, but every so often amateur economists set out to prove what wise men declare is impossible. The anna teurs can not understand, for instance, that a Io-days' strike in seasonal industry does not mean 10 days pro- duction loss. The state publication says:
 With reference to the wages lost, it should be stated that such losses are difficult to ascertain, particularly when the strikes or ~lockouts are of long duration. Frequently employees affected find temporary employment elsewhere, and, when they again se- cure regular employment, take .ad- vantage of any overtime necessary in order to partially, at least, overcome their losses"

Springfield Unions For Child Law
Ratify Action of Federation In De-
 manding Constitution Amended,

Springfield, Nov. 24.-The Central Labor Union, at it's next meeting, will take up and without doubt, rati- fly the vote of the Federation of La Dor for an amendment to the Consti- tuition to prohibit labor of children below a certain age. The amendment would be passed by the next Con- gress and submitted to the states for ratification.
 The Supreme Court has twice de- clared Congress powerless to act on child labor under the present consti- tutional limitations. In the last Con gress the judiciary committee of both branches reported child labor amendment which failed to pass. The only course now open, the Federation of Labor maintains, is to amend the Constitution by removing these linn itations.
 The federation states that after the first law ceased to operate nearly thre times as many violations of the Federal child labor laws were found in 10 states as had been found in 25 states when the law was in force

The present facilities are inadequate, expensive to operate, and not suitable for the purpose intended.
 Your present program includes a school building on Miller street. As a suggestion, we ask your consideration of the establishment of a trade school i'll connection with it. As an alternative proposition, we suggest the East Gram mar school the old High school
 We feel that the youths of our city should be given every privilege and ad- vantage to learn a trade, if desired, and that is an obligation upon the city to provide proper facilities for this pur- pose. The youth of today is the man of tomorrow, and with improved oppor- tunities at his disposal is our sincere belief that the attendance will increase very materially, more interest will be shown by the students, and greater bene- fits obtained.
 We respectfully ask your favorable consideration of these suggestions.

CAPITAL MASSES HOWLERS TO HEAD
 OFF BONUS BILL
"It's Uneconomic" and Labor's Well Paid, Say Henchmen to Impress
 Congress and Public.

The strong likelihood that the Bonus bill will pass at the next Congress, has got capita on its ear again and its agents are now running up and down the land bowling what an awful thing it will be if 1t does. They're bowling just as loud as they did to get the boys into the trenches to protect their dollars back i'll 1o16-on different.
 "Such a strong case has been made out against the soldiers bonus that Con- gress can only pass it on sympathetic grounds" Leslie Vickers,, member of the National Industrial Conference Board, New York, told more than 100 members of the Western Massachus- etts Association of Credit Men in Springfield.
 The bonuse could not be justified on economic grounds, MT. Vickers said, although he made it plain that he was not expressing his personal preference or that of the industrial conference board. 'It will put severe financial strain on the country" he continued ''but of course the country will come back. This vii set the country back f. nancially. Like all measures of this kind no one knows what 1t will cost, but it Es sure to be between $1, ,0OO, 100000 and $40OOOOOO,OOO"
 We have passed the tune when man ufacturers, wholesalers, jobbers and other employers looked upon labor as commodity" MT. Vickers asserted We now look upon labor in a more human light; we ook at labor and have to weigh with more care the minimum which should be. paid to human beings.
 "No figure of certainty could be quo ted for years before 1914, but judging as between that year and 1923, I could safely assert that the wage scale hourly and weekly is g per cent. higher today t hanit was in 1914"
 F. H. Rich of the Commercial Body Company presided.
