has come out unscathed in many an
encounter in the courts and other
wise, added another legal victory to
his list yesterday and departed from

The peculiar feature of the case
was that Ryan objected to Gompers
and the other defendants saying
things about him that he had said
about them. He claimed that Presi-
dent Gompers tried to take away
from him the right of free speech
and then demanded $4,000 damages
because President Gompers wanted
to speak and had spoken freely about
him.

DEFEAT COSSACK BILL

Springfield, Ill.-The state senate
has rejected state police bill by a
narrow margin of two votes. Organ
lied labor waged continuous war
against this measure, which was also
urged in the previous session Of the
state legislature. Advocates of the
bill affected deep concern for farm
ers, but trade unionists showed why
large industrial interests favor the
cossacks.

RAILROADS LACK
SPEED

Springfield, Ill.-Railroad employees
gave railroad management valuable
suggestions for economy at hearing
on the bill to limit freight trains to
so cars.
The employees showed that if freight
trains are speeded up only one mile a
day this would give the railroads 100,-
600 cars for handling their commodi-
ties.
"If the railroads speed up freight
trains they will avoid buying new
equipment and allow about a 25 per
cent further use of the equipment
they now have" the workers stated.

WHY BABIES DIE IN GARY,
THE STEEL TRUST TOWN, is REVEALED IN RE
PORT OF CHILDRENS BUREAU OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Low Wage Means Increased Death Rate-Reduction of
Pay is Execution Order for Helpless Infants,
Government Findings Show

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-Cause and eff
feet in the death of babies is reveal
ed in report on infant mortality in
Gary, Ind, steel town par excellence,
just made by the children's bureau of
the department of labor.
This report shows in terms of ba-
bies' lives how funerals increase when
wages go down and how rising wages
make life safer for the little ones.
Gary has an infant mortality rate
running far above the average rate
of the registration area, condition
for which the steel trust appears di-
rectly responsible Two factors clinch
this responsibility:
THE steel trust wage policy.
2-The steel trust immigration
and employment policy, under
which an effort is made always
to operate with foreign-born
workers.
"a decline in the infant mortality
rate with a rise in the earnings of
the chief breadwinner in the family
was again demonstrated lin this
study" says the report. "When the
chief breadwinner's earnings were
under $1,000 a year, the infant NOR
tality rate was 1878; when chief
breadwinner's earnings reached or
exceeded $3.50 per annum, the in
FAINT mortality rate fell to 89.4;
among babies to native white mothers
when earnings were in the highest
group, the mortality rate sank to 60.
Over one-third of the babies of for.
eign-born mothers, and only one-
tenth of those of native white moth
ers, had chief breadwinners in the
lowest earnings group; somewhat
more than one-fourth of those of ma
tive white, and somewhat less than
one-twelfth of those of foreign-b born
mothers, had chief breadwinners
whose annual earnings at least equal
ed $1,850. From the point of view
Of infant welfare, low family income
is important because of other unfavor-
able factors-ignorance, poor housing,
and inability to purchase medical and
nursing service-with which it tends
to no acconiatad -
AS to the death rate among babies
in Gary, the report says:
Among 1858 babies born alive 169
deaths under l year of age occurred
and the resulting infant mortality
rate was 124.9. Four-tenths Of the
deaths were attributed to gastric and
intestinal diseases; one-fifth to causes
connected with early infancy; and one
sixth to respiratory diseases. Gary's
infant mortality rate from gastric
and intestinal diseases, 50.3, was al
most double the corresponding rate
for the birth-registration area.
Loss from causes connected with
early infancy gave Gary specific in
FAINT mortality rate (25) half as large
as the one from gastric and intestinal
diseases, and somewhat less than the
rate in the birth-registration area.
''The infant mortality rate from
respiratory diseases in Gary was
1919; from the group of other com
municable diseases it was Ill. These
