BRITISH GIRL WORKERS
ASK FOR PAY INCREASE
Government Clerks Are Paid Only
Equivalent Of $40 Per Week
in IT 6 Money

LONDON. September 3.-Girl clerks
in American Offices who bemoan the
slimness of fifteen and twenty dollar
a week salaries are considered lucky
by their poorer paid counterparts in
England.
There are 5000 woman clerks in
government offices. some of them with
eight years experience, who receive
less than the equivalent of $40 a week.
They don't like it. but they don't
know what to do about 1t, for there
are still more than 100000 unem-
ployed in England who stand ready to
pounce upon positions the minute they
are vacated. Most of these govern
ment clerks are in the late twenties.
some have passed thirty, and among
them there are widows with children
to support.
The clerks have asked the govern
ment to increase their pay by 81 or
$3.50 week. Some of the newspapers
are supporting their requests. The
government hasn't said anything yet,
one way or the other. Meanwhile, it
is said. the girls who cannot make
both ends meet on their salaries are
making up the difference after hours
by sewing. doing laundry work and
teaching dancing.

LABOR VICTORIOUS,
LEWIS DECLARES
Says Past Year Has Been
Triumph Over Contin-
uaI Attacks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
INDIANAPOLIS, September 2.-En-
emies of organized labor have learned
In the last year that organized labor
cannot be destroyed, John L. Lewis,
president OF the United Mine Workers
of America, declared in a Labor day
message.
Mr.. Lewis asserted that the last year
had been filed with trials and vicissi-
tudes for organized labor. due to a
constant and steady attack "by power
full interests and Influences" but they
have learned that the trade union is a
legitimate American institution and
that the American public has given it's
full approval to the idea"
Stands for Peace.
"Organized labor stands in favor Of
peace in industry" he continued. Labor
and through the application of the prin-
ciples of fairness and justice. Labor
will do its part to establish and main
tain that kind of peace. Let us all eX-
press here and now the hope that this
wish may be fulfilled and that next
year may see the most cordial rela-
tions established and maintained be-
tween employer and employe, SO that
next Labor day may come with a cloud
less industrial sky.
Let us remember that without or
Eanization labor would be helpless to
express itself or to take it's own part
In the struggle against the forces that
would destroy labor's liberty.
Year of Trials.
The past year has been filled with
trials and vicissitudes for organized
labor A constant and steady attack
has been in progress, commanded by
powerful interests and influences, for
the weakening or the destruction Of the
labor movement. Every conceivable
weapon and means of industrial war
forces, but the flag Of trade unionism
still floats at the top of the mast, un-
sullied and unafraid. Labor has lost
skirmishes in the past year, but it has
won the great battle for the mainte-
nance of labors rights, until, today, it
is stronger and more efficient than ever
before in the history OF the labor move
ment."
