Vides that practically everything the

proval to the police projects. All
membership lists, with complete ad-
dresses, must be furnished to the po.
lice, thus giving them easy means of
surveillance of every organized la
borer. Strict accounting must be fur
nished as to the purpose for which ev.

DESIRE RETURN Of
AMERICAN SEAMEN

When the wage cutting decision
was reached and carried out by the
shipping board and private ship own
ers they we're told that low stand
ard Of wages and conditions aboard
ship would drive Americans from the
seas. No attention was paid to this
warning.
After two years Of low wages on
the American ships, the warning is
sued by the Seamen's union unheed-
ed, they are manned to a large ex-
tent by unsatisfactory crews Of Chi
nese and other nationalities with a
low living standard with whom Amer
leans connot compete.
In order to induce the highly effl-
cient American to return to the sea,
the shipping board announces an in
crease Of from Is to 20 per cent, eff
fective last Monday. Working condi-
tions which were broken down at the
same time that wage reductions were
enforced have also been improved.
The three-watch system and observa
tion of the eight-hour day while in
port have been restored.
Many OF the private owned lines
have raised wages previously because
they could not induce sailors to sign
up otherwise. It is claimed on the
Great Lakes high school boys were
shanghaied by the ore carriers of the
steel corporation when they were un-
able to sign able seamen. This car
ries out the contention OF organized
labor that some Of these companies
will stop at nothing to coin blood into
dollars.

LABOR POWER LOST
ALIEN NOT WANTED

NEW YORK, May 17-"What is
needed in this country is not more la
Dor, but better direction of what
we have" says the editor of Power a
publication devoted to the power
problems of all industries"
Although this country leads the
world in applying machinery to mans
service, we are one Of the most waste
full nations of the world" says the
editor.
Much has been done toward reme-
dying this condition, but there still
remains an appalling waste, not only
in materials, but in human endeavor.
Yet some Of our industrialists would
have the bars against immigration
lowered to flood the country with
cheap labor SO that the old order of
waste may continue.
Working Days Lost.
I'm some industries our wasteful
methods make it necessary to use
twice as many workers as would be
required If properly employed. AL
though the coal industry is one Of the
worst offenders in this respect, It is
by no means the only guilty one. Fur
thermore, in some cases conditions
are getting worse instead of better"
Power estimates that 100000, 900
working days . year are lost through
accidents, 80 Of which are prevent
able. This means an annual idleness
of 100000 working people.
Owing to illness and non-industrial
accidents another million are contin-
ually kept from their employment" 1t
is stated. Estimates of this condi.
tion indicate that over so per cent Is
preventable."
