PERCENTAGE LARGE


The National Child Health Council
states that at least 20 and, according
to some statistics. possibly 80 per
cent Of the nations children are suf-
fering from malnutrition. This term
is generally understood to mean gem
eral physical acknowledgment. and
is not confined to any one class or
race. In some cities it is apparently
as prevalent in the homes Of the we'll
to-do as in those Of persons of more
limited means. The condition is evil
denced not only BY weight and
growth records, but also by hstless-
ness, lack of color, dullness and some
times by restlessness and irritability.
Physical defects, faulty environ
ments, faulty food and faulty health
habits are causes of malnutrition.
They include too little food, the
wrong kind of food, and bad habits,
whether due to ignorance, poverty or
lack Of home discipline, and also
faulty posture in standing. sitting or
walking, all Of which interfere with
the normal functioning of important
organs of the body.

GARMENT WORKERS
WIN 4O-HOUR WEEK

NEW YOORK, March S.-After a
two-weeks' strike 10000 dress and
waist makers have put this industry
on the 4o-hour week basis. The agree
ment is for two years and dates back
to January /. Overtime, at double
pay, shall not exceed four hours a
week. Piece work wages will be in
creased 10 per cent, and week work
rates will remain the same as under
the 44-hour system.
These workers are members Of the
International Ladies' Garment Work
ers' Union.
They will continue opposition to
piece work that so demoralizes this
highly seasonal industry and sweeps
works into the streets by the thou
sands during dull periods. To com.
bat the piece work evil an aggressive
organizing campaign will be started
against. anttunion shops.
The garment workers victory is an.
other page in the trade union history
made by this organization, which es.
tablished the 54-hour week IA years
ago after a strike that involved prac-
tically every worker In this industry.
Four years later, in 1913. the first col
lective agreement was secured. The
49-hour week was established in 1916
and in 1913 the 44-hour week was
won. In 1871 the employers attempt
ed to break a contract they signed,
but we're defeated.

INSURANCE FIGHT
IN LEGISLATURE IS

been won at Olympia. A compromise
agreement was reached last week be-
tween Speaker Mark Reed of the

OF labor and industries and the leg.
islative agent OF the State Federation
Of Labor, by which substantially pro-
visions Of the Clifford bin would be
incorporated by amendments IN the
substitute bill introduced ten days
ago. The bill win pass the Senate
without any question. and 1t went
through the House with only one dis
senting vote last week.
The bill in substance provides a 20
per cent increase in permanent par
tial disability awards. approximately
so per cent increase for the married
man and his dependents during the
period Of his incapacity. and approx
mately so per cent increase in awards
for widows and children. and an In
crease Of from $40 to SIS for orphans,
which is $50 per cent increase.
The bill represents . substantial
victory when the character OF the
Legislature IL taken into considera-
tion and far exceeds what was
thought possible by most people ia.
miliar with the situation. Although
still far from satisfactory to the labor
forces, it represents 3 substantial vic.
tory when all Of the circumstances
are considered.

this will be practically all OF the rene
dial labor legislatiOn at this session

ALIEN FLOW OPPOSED
BY UNIVERSITY MEN

NEW YORK, March THE immi-
grafton percentage law principle was
indorsed by Prof. Rufus D. Smith of
New York university at the annual
meeting Of the National Institute Of
Social Sciences. The speaker urged
restriction as a permanent immigra-
tion policy for the United States.
He did not agree. he said, with per-
sons who want to let down the bars
so as to admit a host of unskilled
workers. While temporary shortage
might prove embarrassing, he said,
"such embarrassments had always
forced improvements on an unwilling
world, and, in the long run, had
proved beneficial"
DR.. Charles s. Davenport said that
the intelligence test recently applied
to immigrants from Southern Europe
indicate that we are mot taking
pains to hand over to our country Of
the next century a population that is
capable Of preserving the ideals and
maintaining the standard inspired by
our f0refathers."

FARM TENANCY GAIN

WASHINGTON, March s.-MOrt-
gagged homes and increased tenantcy
among farmers Is q characteristic Of
this country. according to Senator
Ladd Of North Dakota, who declared
that e'the most omlnous fact in our
agricultural conditions Is the rapid
growth of farm tenantcy.'
''In 1920" he said, 1887 tenants op-
Grated farms IN every Zoe, as COM
pared with 2e in 1910. an increase Of
Ss per cent in 10 years. Wherever
this notoriously inefficient and out
rageously unjust system is establish
ed, human slavery in its worst and
most degrading form follows as q nat
ural and necessary result.
But this distressing condition is
not confined 70 the farm industry.
Over so per cent Of those who work
In the manufacturing and mining in.
dustries and auxiliary business activ-
tiles are living In rented houses. Sew
enty-five per cent Of the homes Of
America are mortgaged. Out Of a pop
ulation Of approximately 10000, 900,
only 4.131,S7S own homes free from
encumbrance.
THAT there is a combination of
causes no one who has given careful
consideration to existing conditions
cen doubt. And yet when we consid-
er the course of legislation in this
\ country for the past so years there is
nothing unnatural in the abnormal
situation that confronts us.
HE who In the midst of abundance
suffers the pangs Of hunger; who in
the presence Of inexhausable natural
resources stands in enforced idle
ness; who, clothed with political DOW
er, is political nonenity; to whose
unremitting drudgery Iabor-saving in
ventions have brought no relief, but
rather seem to make his condition
worse, instinctively realizes that
there is something wrong with our
system Of distributing the wealth
which his labor produces.
"It is the direct and necessary re-
suit Of granting to a corrupt and IA
vored few predatory privileges which
involve supreme functions Of govern
ment."

Rigid Enforcement.

Naturally the oriental crews which
furnish the bulk of the drug SNUG
Cling fraternity are non-union and
are employed because they can be
employed at lower wage rate than
white or union crews.
Conditions under which drug SNUG
Cling exists are possible only because
the LaFollette seamen's act Is not
properly enforced. 1t is o'Brien's
contention, backed by thorough inves-
tigation into the subject on the part
of the Seamen's Union, that rigid en-
forcement Of the seamen's act would
do more than any other single thing
to stop the Illicit importation of habit
forming drugs into the United States.
Steamship companies which employ
oriental crews and which by the same
token are the ardent opponents OF
the seamen's act, and who are large.
ly responsible for It's non-enforee-
ment, are in reality the main factors
in the tremendous and menacing drug
business which has ruined the lives of
