MILLION DRUG
ADDICTS in u. s

| ington.-There are 100000
hereoin addicts in this country, the
house ways and means committee was
told by representatives of the medi,
cal profession.
| DR.. Charles w. Richardson, of the
American Medical Association, ex-
pressed the opinion that the growing
use of heroin CONSTITUTES one of the
most important moral questions be-
fore the nation" He said that most
addicts are between the ages Of II
and %.
DR.. Amos Squire, chief physician at
Sing Sing penitentiary, testified that
one out Of every II convicts received
at the big New York prison last year
was drug victim-a 900 per cent in
crease in six years-and that 96 per
cent of these use heroin. He said
the average age Of prisoner addicts
| is %.
"Half the heroin users" he said,
"come back to prison second time.' .
DR.. Blue, former surgeon general of
the United States health service, said
hereoin is the most harmful of all
habit-forming drugs and that it's use
has spread at an alarming rate espe-
cially among younger persons in large
cities.

FAVOR OLD SCHEME
"MUCCINC" ALIENS

Washington. = Federal registration
of aliens is proposed in bill by Con-
gressman Vestal, Of Indiana. 1t is the
well known police plan, so popular in
certain European countries. Each inn
migrant will be photographed and
measured--and taxed $5 for being
'mugged" in approved style. The de-
partment of labor will prepare rules
to make the plan effective, and may
admit additional workers whenever
there is scarcity" Congressman
Vestal rrefaced this attempt tn
Europeanize free country by a
harmless denunciation Of certain en-
ployers who want immigrants for
cheap labor purposes.
Possibilities Of the system are un-
limited. The rules and regulations
could provide that no alien shall leave
his present location without permis-
sion of the proper authorities. This
would hold these aliens to their task
in industrial centers. In strike times,
the more active could be deported
after the public was impressed that
the strike is ian attempt to over
throw government" Later, if the
registration plan did not arouse too
much opposition it could be cautious
ly applied to other sections of labor
preparatory to making it universal.

lists show that there are five COM
panies in this state that are manufac-
turing the same kind of work shirt.
Their labor cost averages $1.85A per
dozen, with additional. costs for build
ing, heat, light ard power. The aver
age cost for making an apron similar
to the convict brand is 1928 per
dozen.
The unionists point out that last
year the Reliance Company paid the
state $$45, ,9S49s OF it's contract, at the
Fort Madison prison. In the same
period the state appropriated 1885,
1928 for supporting that prison.
This did not include appropriations
for building, or for salaries Of officers
and employees.

Postal Workers In Need OF
Higher Wage; Parcel Post
Is Subsidy For Shippers

ures by Thomas F. Flaherty, secre-
|tary-treasurer Of the National Fedora
tion of Post Office Clerks, who show
ed that large shippers and mail order
houses are responsible for the in
creased post office business. The
trade unionist declared that the par
eel post is not bringing the city and
country together.
"The government has gradually
taken over practically all of the short
haul express business and some Of the
lightweight business through the
parcel-post development during the
past 10 years." said Secretary Flaher-
fly. at is the opinion of all familiar
with the subject that this business,
which now comprises 70 per cent Of
all mail handled, is carried at great
loss. The principal beneficiaries are
the large shippers and mail-order
concerns. Statistics show there are
eight parcels mailed from the large
cities for every one mailed to the
cities from the country. Thus it is
a myth to suppose that the govern
ment's parcel post is putting the city
consumers in direct touch with the
country producer.
"There is no justification for refus-
! ing postal employees adequate COM
pensation and then virtually pay a
subsidy to few large shippers and
mail order concerns. The general
public gets no benefit from this policy
of hauling express matter and freight
at loss. The volume Of mail has
increased 500 per cent since 1907, and
70 per cent Of this great mass Of mail
matter is parcel post"

Progressives, Warned By
Foster Intrigue, Resent
Reds Claim Of Capture

nesota. Ladd has never shown any
pronounced inclination to take issue
with the reds, Frazier is practically
an unknown quantity on the issue,
while Johnson has held out against
some particularly insiduous red in
fluences. Shipsted has been firmest
of the four. None of them, however,
warns to the prospect Of seeing his
state organization machinery captured
by an organization subordinate to
Moscow and hostile to the announced
farmer-labor principles.
Progressives in Washington de-
nounce the st. Paul communist plans
as an effort to sabotage the whole
farmer-labor movement and warn
both farmers and trade unionists to
keep out of the ENHANCEMENT.
Others see IN the development but
one of the dangers Of partisan politi-
cal action, to which the American
Federation of Labor always has been
opposed. They paint out that definite
affiliation to party leads those SO
affiliated into whatever road the
bosses of the party select and leads
to subordination to whatever group Of
bosses may secure control.
F. In any event, the exposure of the
communist intrigue, first made public
by the international Labor News
Service, has aroused sound progress
sives to the menace.

LABOR BILL JOKER
AROUSES UNIONISTS

Albany, N. Y--Organized labor and
other advocates of compensation to
injured workers have raised state
wide alarm over a joker in an amend
ment to this act.
The amendment is favored by en-
ployers, who propose that compensa-
ton be paid workers who are victims
of silicosis. This is a deadly lung
disease, prevalent in certain dusty
trades and often leading to tubercu-
losis. 1t is distinctly occupational in
origin and annually destroys large
numbers of wage workers. An amend
ment to the compensation bill pro
vides compensation for silicosis ac-
squired in any occupation exposed to
silicosis dust.
The employers amendment would
refer these cases to board of physi-
clans whose decision shall be. final. TIC
secure compensation a worker would
have to be continuously employed for
five years in an industry exposed tc
silicosis.
In arousing organized labor to the
danger of this proposal, trade union
lists declare that the medical board
provision "is obviously joker intend
ed to tie up the administration of the
law"
AS an alternative labor suggests
the state compensation commission
appoint referee who is a lung spe.
cialist to act on silicosis claims. This
is the practice at present.

Washington.-In urging a wage in
crease for post office employees, Con-
gresham Casey said that when con-
gress approved the 81 ,40O-$1, 800 rates
in 1920, it was in the belief that
the high cost Of living would recede.
"The sEpposition was not well
founded; the cost of living has ad-
vanced," said Mr.. Casey, who is a
leading member of the house labor
group. "While the cost of food and
clothing has been reduced somewhat,
and fuctuated considerably, the fixed
and unacceptable cost Of the necessities
Of life, such as house rent, the purr
chase and upkeep of property, taxes,
transportation, fuel and light, has
steadily advanced out of all proper
tion to postal employees salary.
about 70 per cent of the postal
clerks are compelled to work at night
because the large business firms and
mail-order houses do not deposit their
mail until after the close of the busi-
ness day." said Congressman Casey.
"For arduous duties these faithful
employees are paid salaries ranging
from $1,400 to $500 a year, with a
reduction of $35 and $45 a year, re-
tspectively, for pensions. This leaves
an average weekly salary of $2s.25 to
s33.75."
The speaker showed that postal
service receipts increased 9.89 per
cent last year over the previous year,
while the clerical force was increased
but 2.06 per cent, with no wage in
crease.

tractors, foremen, storekeeps and

Alaskan Gamers, Now Worried By
Unpleasant Publicity Urge Reform
In Handling OF Salmon Workers

datlons are carried out most of the
unpleasant newspaper publicity will
be eliminated, and this employment
will be made attractive to better
class Ct workers"
How far the Gamers plan to 90
with their program of reform is omen
to question. Persons in Washington
familiar with the Alaskan canning in
s@-c. s~4.-4 ~. .4..s lur twenty !
years tie Gamers have been prom
lslng to change conditions but that
they have consistently broken their
promises. Whether they really mean
to make beginning at making the
canneries decent places for human
beings to work in remains to be seen.
Packers Committee Urges MANY
Reforms
The latest recommendations of the
Gamers are made by a committee on
Oriental labor conditions appointed
by the Association of Pacific Fisher
les. The program was drawn up by
George Warren, Of the Alaska-Port-
land Packers Associations. David
Branch, of Libby, Mcneil & Libby,
and A. K. Tichenor, of the Alaska
Packers Association. Their report
was approved by Daniel Campbell,
president Of the Association of Pacific
Fisheries, and also by the associa-
tion's executive committee. Copies of
the recommendations have been sent
to the labor commissioners of Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and
Alaska.
AFTER thorough discussion says
the report, "the committee decided to
recommend to salmon Gamers operat-
ing under the Oriental contract sys-
tenn, the following suggestions, with
the earnest request that they be in
augurated in their system of handling
this particular branch of the salmon
canning industry.
"We believe that if these recon-
mendations are carried out most of
the unpleasant newspaper publicity
will be eliminated, and this employ
ment will be made attractive to a
better class of workers"
Committee Makes Thirteen Sugges-
tiOns
Following are the committees sug-
gestions;
81. Sub-contraetors to be elimi-
mated.
"2. Medical inspection of all en-
ployes.
SO. Refuse employment to anyone
afflicted with venereal or other COM
municable disease, or to those show
ing indications that they are subject
to the use of narcotics.
"a. Search and remove from all
employees firearms or other weapons
and drugs.
50. Ascertain before the expedition
departs that contractor has sufficient

 Both deaths were due to con- spiracy entered into by Flight and Mrs. sweetin," said the prosecutor. "The law recognizes no distinction between man and a woman in such a case. There is no other course for the state to pursue. ex- cept to ask for joint indictment for murder in each killing"
 If joint indictments are returned, he said, he expected Attorney R. E. Smith of Benton, retained to rep resent Mrs. Sweetin, would seek a separate trial for her. The states attorney said he would insist on a joint trial.
 flight has taken no steps to pre- pare, his defense. He has told off, cials he planned to ask the court to appoint a lawyer for him, and has intimated several times he expected to enter a plea of guilty and throw himself upon the mercy of the court.
