CHILD LABOR GAINING

Statistics made public by the Chill
dren's bureau of the United States
department of labor, Washington, D.
c., covering the first months of 1923
in thirty selected cities, indicate an
increase of 1856 per cent in child la
Dor over the same period last year.
The survey was based on the num-
Der of minors between the ages of
fourteen and sixteen years who re-
ceived first working permits. The fig
ures, of course, do not give the number
working in violation of law.
The figures, in most instances al
though showing big increases over last
year, were below those of 1920. Child
labor reached its peak in the war years
and began to slump in 1920 at the
beginning of the business depression.
With better times in 1922 the number
of child workers began to mount

SHOP MEMS COUNSEL
ASSAILS RAIL HEAD

Chicago" Statements inexcusably
false" were charged against James
G. Davis, federal director general of
railroads, by Donald R. Richberg,
counsel for the shop men in the
Daugherty injunction case.
In a recent speech Davis attacked
the movement to revalue the railroads
as dangerous to the foundations of
American law and institutions.
In an open letter to the federal di-
rector of railroads, Attorney Rich
berg says his speech is "a good ex-
ample of the poisonous and dishonest
propaganda which the railroads are
engaged in spreading through news
paper articles and public speeches"
''The amount of money eXtorted
from the public in the form of exces-
sive rates and invested in railroad
property as surplus earnings, runs
into several billion dollars" said the
attorney.

WAGE CUTS FOR KINGS

Wage cuts for kings and queens
is one kind of wage reduction that
meets with the hearty approval of
organized labor.
So it's not likely that labor will
oppose the recent offer of Queen Will
helnina and Dowager Queen Emma
of Holland to accept lower wages"
if necessary.
1t seems that Holland is planning
reductions in the salaries of state Off
GERS for 1924, and the two queens have
signifed their willingness to share in
the cut. Both wrote to the minister
of finance saying that in the event
of the reduction they will relinquish
part of their revenue from the
state in proportion to the other de-
creases.
This news from Holland gives rise
to the thought that other wage cuts
might be in order. For instance, why
not wage cuts for politicians who pro
claim their love for labor, while at
the same time secretly doing every
thing in their power to defeat the
aspirations of the workers?
Why not wage cuts for editorial
writer's who rack their alleged brains
for arguments" to prove that labor
is always in the wrong? And why not
cuts in the profits of newpaper own
ers who employ the reactionary edi-
torial writer's?
Why not wage cuts for the fellows
who attempt to show that the "open
shop" is the only salvation for Amer
lea? Why-but there's no use of
naming the others deserving of wage
cuts. It's sufficient to say labor ap-
proves wage cuts of, say 100 per cent,
for all who are not doing useful labor.

PERPINCON BUSY
AT CONVENTIONS
Visited Cleveland and Finds
Carpenters Conditions
There Ideal

Herman Perpingon, business agent
of the Carpenters Local Union, has
been a busy man with conventions
at Mansfield during the past two
weeks. He reports that the Ohio
State Council of Carpenters convened
on Monday morning of last week with
rs delegates present. All the past
year officers were reelected by ac-
clamation, showing the affairs of the
council are in good hands and that
the membership is we'll satisfied with
their administration. Very few reso-
lutions on conditions were presented
showing also that the membership is
satisfied with present conditions.
The State Building Trades Council
started it's session on Thursday morn
ing of last week and adjourned at
$3.50 Friday afternoon. Here the Off
GERS of last year were also reelected
by acclamation. This certainly speaks
well for the state officers of the build
ing trades. Quite a number of resolu-
tions were presented, and business of
vital Importance to all the building
crafts of the state were transacted at
this session. At both the above ses-
sions interesting addresses were made
by Arnold Bill, secretary of the Ohio
State Council of Carpenters; Presi-
dent Robertson, of Ohio State Build
ing Trades Council Chas. ]. Case,
secretary; T. j. Duffy, chairman of the
Ohio State Industrial Commission,
and others.
Perpingon accompanied Arnold Bill
to Cleveland to learn, he says, if con-
ditions of carpenters were really as
good there as the Cleveland delegates
claimed they were, and he says that
he can't say too much for Cleveland
carpenters conditions. That they are
ideal.
Perpingon is at the Ohio State Fed
Grafton of Labor convention this week
He represents the local carpenters as
delegate at all three of the big state
sessions.
In another column will be found {
detailed report by Perpingon on the
proceedings of the Carpenters State
Council session, which will no doubt
prove of much interest to every car.

NOW IT COMES OUT

"Now it comes out" as the German
would say when he sees the light.
And "Now it comes out" why that
bunch up in Middletown was so in
terested in fighting the proposed new
bridge at Coke Otto, not fighting to
prevent its construction, so much mind
you, but just fighting it for what
would be in it to fight it.
The other day the bunch's attor-
neys, in the court of appeals in Gin
cinnati, asked that they be allowed
from the county the sum of $4,000
fees for their work in the case. They
ask this for the Taxpayers Associa-
ton of Middletown."
It further comes out" that these
attorneys had a contract with the

town" for $4,000 and $4,000 more of
they won the case. And the contract
also called for the attorneys paying
back to the Taxpayers Association of
Middletown" one-half of all they
might be able to hold the county up
for and collect.
If they collect the twelve thou
sand the Taxpayers Association of
Middletown" will be about $4,000 to
the good. Not so bad, is it? The
LAWYERS didn't say that the Middle
town Signal, Louie Nein and
Frank Compton are the whole Tax
PAYERS Association of Middletown, y
but no doubt they should be allowed
fat salaries as they have done splen-
did service for the Association" In
the meantime it is to be wondered
what the rest of the Middltowners are
thinking about these days-those who
allowed themselves to be run up to
about 110 by the propaganda by the
association" against the bridge. AS
Potash and Perlmutter would say,

against any improvements the county
wants to make and fight it-on the
