Trades Union Activities

sisted Of the presentation of view
points and argument of needs by the
representatives of various classes OF
employees at the different navy yards
In nearly every case 4 union official
or union delegates We're the spokcS-
men for the fellow workmen. The
dispatch with which the data pre-
scented at the hearing was handled IS
evident on its face. when it is realized
that 10000 employees were repre-
scented. The majority by far of that
number are union men.
Bakers union officials have come
out with figures tending to show that
the full responsibility of the increased
cost of bread cannot be laid on the
shoulders of the workers, who re-
ceived a 10-Cent per hour advance a
few months ago, at the making of a
new contract.
Exact figures are cited as fellows:
There are ago bakers and about 200
helpers IN the union. If each of the
| bakers received a Decent per hour
increase the total would be an in
crease of $42 per hour for the bak
ing industry of the whole city. If
the 200 helpers received the full bene-
, tiet of the 50-cent per day increase
allowed. the total. it is pointed out,
for the whole list Of helpers would
amount to only 500 per day For
the eight-hour day for bakers the
amount at $42 per hour would be
1885 per day, according to the bakers
computations. This added to the 800
per day would amount to only S4f6
per day as the total amount of the
increase for the entire city'S baking
! business. 1t is pointed out in addi-
ton that an increase of l cent per
pound loaf on bread, when one
| bakery puts out about 100000 pounds
per day, alone would return $1,000
per day clear. If the bakery sales
mems guarantee of an additional SO
a week is added the total amount per
week for this increase would amount
to about $500 for the $50 who
union of1cIalS say received the bene-
i fit of the additional guarantee. The
daily average increase for the bakery
statesmen on this basis being about
s42O per day. the grand total of all
increases would amount to approxi-
mately 1855 per day which is con-
siderably less than the raise in price
! OF one bakery's output.
A talk on the result OF the Supreme
j Courts notification of the Kansas
industrial court act is scheduled for

declared that labor is glad to see
