Ohio Defeats Pension

Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 24-At the recent election Ohio voters rejected a state constitutional amendment which would legalize old age pensions. The proposal was urged by the Ohio State Federation of Labor and affili- ateS.
 The new constitutional amendment to the workmen's compensation act. which was favored by the State Fed eration of Labor and organized em- .ployers, was approved by the voters. Under this amendment the ambul- ance chasing attorney is put out of business, as the act gives increased awards to injured workers and the dependents of those who~are killed, but they will be prevented from se- curing additional damages through the courts

TRICKY COMMUNISTS EXPOSED IN CANANDA

Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Nov. 24.-Editor Roper of the Alberta La bor News IS waging an aggressive campaign against communists who would control the trade unions The trade union editor charged that the revolutionists attempted to control the recent meeting of the Canadian Trades and Labor Congress. The ac- cused,. of course, assumed virtuous pose, and the editor of communist sheet in Toronto was incautious enough to apply the short and ugly word to Roper. The labor editors re- ply was a letter written by the To ronto communist to comrade in Re how the revolutionists secretly work inside the unions. A portion of the letter is as follows:

Canal Employees Lose

Washington, Nov. 24.-The United States supreme court has decided against Panama canal employees who would prevent Governor Morrow of the canal zone from charging them house rent ,and for fuel, water, cleo tricity and services i'll connection with quarters. These charges were author ized by ain executive order signed by President Harding in December, 1921. The supreme court held that the order is valid. Attorneys for the workers took the position that the order set aside a portion of the law creating the canal commission, which built the canal, and that congress alone has the power to change the law in any respect The house rent for employees and other features of the law were inserted because of eli matic conditions in Panama.
 There are about 5000 American employees on the canal zone and de- ductions from their salaries and wages for rent and other items are estimated at $soo,ooo year.

UNEMPL OYMENT DISASTROUS TO WELFARE OF CHILDREN FEDERAL REPORT DECLARES

 s"When the father lost his job a year ago and mother said that the only thing left to cut down on was food, and this has been done to the limit The family used to take two or three quarts of milk day, but now they get one quart of whole milk and one of skim milk. This has to suffice for four children
 "The mother has cut down ex- penses as much as possible. She takes one quart of milk day instead of two, though the children beg for milk on their oatmeal She gets no meat except the three pounds week with tn commissary orders. They live chiefly on bread, coffee, potatoes and cereal"
 Summing up the report states:
 Unemployment, then, because it means lowered family standards, anxiety and dread, the loss of savings, and the mortgaging of the future, has direct and disastrous effect upon the welfare of children. While commu- mites are usually able to organize their resources so that children are not removed from their own homes because of poverty by an industrial crisis, these resources have not been sufficient to prevent very real suffer ing in family groups stricken with the of loss of work by the father" eL

 Washington, D. C., Nov. 23.-Un- employment, because it means lower ed family standards, the loss of saw direct and disastrous effect upon the welfare of children.
 This is the conclusion of a report on child welfare during the industrial depression of Io2I-22, made by the Federal Childrens Bureau.
 In transmitting the report to Secre- tary of Labor Davis, Grace Abbott head of the Children's Bureau, said:
 Large groups of children suffer not temporary but permanent losses as a result of a period of industrial dpression. Those who are interested in raising the standard of our citizen ship through better care of the chil- dren of the country can not regard as outside the field of their concern, proposals for preventing unemploy- ment and, failing in program of pre- vention, measures which are neces- sary for safeguarding tue children during a period of unemployment"
 Two cities, Racine, Wis.,. and Springfield, Mass, were chosen by the bureau for intensive investigation as to the effects of unemployment on
  resentative of different sections of the country with different industrial backgrounds, both having serious unemployment problem, and both making generous expenditures for re- lief work.
 Ths investigators found that un- employment, even though the fathers made some money by emergency work and short-time jobs, cut the family income so much that many mothers were forced to go to work, with the result that their children were neglected. In many cases, fam lily savings were wiped out and it was necessary to go into debt for food, clothing rent, medical attend ance and many other items. In other cases, families went without medical care and proper food as result of the failure of the father or mother to get work.
 Serious retrenchment in food was reported by a large number of the families interviewed Some typical comments were:

Forced Compensation
 Favored By Governor

Astoria, Ore, Nov 24-The state constitution must be amended that a compulsory compensation act may be enforced in this state, declared Gov ernor Walter Pierce in his address to the convention of the State Fedora ton of Labor. He said such an amendment is necessary, as the Ore gon compensation act is in grave danger.
 The speaker called for a more equal distribution of the rewards of labor, and declared that a check must be placed on the combinations which are reaping enormous and unwarranted profits at the expense of the producer and consumer. It was stated that prices of the products of the farm have been cut until there is no profit to the producer, while the cost of those products to the consumer ha. not been reduced materially
