Sugar Plant Workers Charge
Mexican Laborers Are Used
To Lower Wage Standards

By international Labor News Service.
Green Bay, Charges that
officials Of the Menominee River
Sugar Beet Company at Green Bay
are endeavoring to lower wage stand
ards, lengthen working hours, and
eliminate competition by the employ
ment of large bodies of Mexican
laborers were lodged with the Peo-
pies Voice by sugar factory workers
this week
Laborers at the sugar plant are
working in 12-hour shifts, and are re-
ceiving a maximum average of from
35 to 3712 cents an hour, an investi-
cation conducted by the Peoples
Voice diseloses.
Three years ago, it is recalled,
scores of Mexican men and women
together with their families were
brought to Green Bay and put to work
in the sugar factory. Public senti-
ment at that time however, was
chiefly instrumental in causing the
temporary a. ~ rment of che pro-
ticc of employing foreign w5r g

These employers, however, were
told that they must face the same

anti-labor injunction legislation The
latter is referred TO by the employers

SOVIET UNIONS
AUTHORIZE FEW
RUSSIAN STRIKES

BY international Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-The Interna-
tional Federation of Trade Unions,
with headquarters at Amsterdam,
Holland, reports that the bulletin Of
the social democratic party of Russia
gives the following information con-
corning strikes in Russia in 1922 and
1923, the facts having been originally
published by the National Council of
the Russian Trade Unions:
In 1922 there were 466 strikes, at
fecting 10000 persons; and in 1923
384 strikes affecting 1885, 900 persons.
Only II Of these strikes were sane
toned by the unions; the rest were
either without the knowledge or
against the viii of the unions, which
are of course government organiza-
tions
The most frequent cause of strikes
was unpunctuality in the payment of
wages; this led to 60 per cent of all
the strikes in 1923. Although in most
cases the strikers had no other pros
pect Of getting their wages but by
striking, even these strikes were not
sanctioned by the unions.

and that the insecurity that it causes,
as well as the actual loss of time
incurred annually, have become very
burdensome to large numbers, actu-

the extra distress attendant upon un-

looms up in true proportions as one

Toilers Lose Many Days Pay
The national industrial conference
board found that the average number
of days lost per year by each indus

about 42-that is, about Ia per cent
ed his working time.
In England this loss of time is
about 5 per cent in ordinary times,
not considering the recent unemploy-
ment in that country
The Russell Sage report on unem-
ployment is the result of a five-year
study. The investigation, which ex-
tended into more than 70 cities in 81
states and Canada, has just been COM

than 600 pages.

had been the greatest development of
organized public employment work.

New York City-The United States,
most prosperous nation on the face Of
the earth, constantly tolerates one of
of the greatest of human wastes
unemployment In times of prosper
ity, as well as in periods of depres-
sion, millions of men and women are
out of work
This is the conclusion of the Rus
sell Sage Foundation, which estimates
that, averaging good and bad years,
10 to IL per cent of all workers in
the nation are idle all of the time
The estimate was made in connection
with an investigation of employment
agencies which occupied representa-
tives of the foundation for five years
The report states that from l,000,0 900
to 100000 persons are out of work
for weeks and sometimes for months
at time.
Many Workers Found Idle
The report says:
That, averaging good and bad
years, 10 to IL per cent of all the
workers in the United States are out
of work all the time.
That widespread unemployment is
now constant phenomenon with far
reaching economic, social, psycholog-
ical and moral bearings.
That in seeking work through GER
tain types of commercial or fee
charging employment bureaus-par-
ticularly those dealing with unskilled
and casual labor-thousands of men
and women are being exploited.
That public employment bureaus
and exchanges can make material
contribution toward the solution of
this and other phases of the ever
recurring problem of unemployment
Resentment Follows Idleness
Then the report says:
"There is something which we are
just beginning to recognize: A re-
sentiment on the part of the workers
against an industrial situation in
which such insecurity and uncertainty
of employment are possible
at is not only unemployment but
the fear Of unemployment; the knowl-
edge that any job is uncertain and in
secure, subject to the fluctuations Of
economic change which is responsible
for much of our present industrial un-
rest"
Big Per Cent Out of Work
The report continues:
"A conservative estimate as to the
amount of this continuous unemploy-
ment, taking it year in and year out
over long period of time and ex.
cluding extraordinary disturbances
like war and depressions caused by
war, put the amount at 5 per cent il
good years to upward of 20 per cent
in bad years. To conclude that
averaging good and bad years, from
10 to II per cent of all workers arc
idle all of the time is probably an un
derestimate of the situation. Ever
though no exact figures can be named
enough is known to show that the
aggregate of such unemployment
