WARSHIP EXPLOSION
KILLS 48 SAILORS

San Pedro, Cal-Lack of sufficient
air pressure to clean out the great
14-inch gun barrels of turret No. of
the battleship Mississippi was the first
evidential elew offered to the board Of
inquiry investigating the cause OF
disaster which cost IS lives.
So low was the air pressure in the
apparatus that blows out the rifle bar

the latter had to be showed home by
hand after the second salvo, accord
ing to the testimony of Francis Males
ski, plugman, whose duty 1t was to
close the breech. He was one Of the
three sailors who escaped uninjured
from the turret that became the tomb
Of his mates.

for stabilized employment and should
establish a system of unemployment
insurance. Unemployment insurance
is already in effect in the Cleveland
garment industry.
Demands are also made for a re-
duction of hours of labor from A per
week to 40 and an increase in the
minimum rates of pay.
Demands Called "Undebatable'
The Cloak, Suit and Skirt Man
ufacturers Protective Association,
which is the name of the manufac-
turer's organization, declared that
five of the IL proposals of the I'M
ion were unbeatable" and would
not be discussed. The Merchants
Ladies Garment Association, COM
posed of jobbers, failed to reach an
agreement on any of the proposals
and showed it's attitude by announc-
ment that it would abolish its labor
department and cease collective rela-
tionship with the union.
Following the failure of the ne
gotlatlons, the union was reluctantly
forced to the conclusion that the in
dustry was incapable of cooperative
action to reform itself and that moth
ing would move it except the eco
nomic power Of the workers. The
workers have entered the struggle
with full hope of victory and conf
dence that salvation for the industry
lies in their program. They believe
that the rapid fall of quality is Civ
ing the industry deadly blow and
that the real interest of the jobber,
manufacturer and retailer is on the
side of reform in the trade, though
he may mistakenly believe that his
interest is in preserving the status
quo.

quality of work and irresponsible
dealings on part of contractors or
sub-contractors.
Buying PublicrRapidly deteriorat-
ing quality of garments so that coats
and suits are worthless after. short
wear.
Too Many Contractors
The causes of evils outlined in the
foregoing are as follows:
There has been a rapid growth in
the last five years of the jobbers or
stock-houses, who do not manufacture
on their premises. They supply their
own designs to some extent, and
their own materials, to small con-
tractors, who directly employ the la
Dor.
To become a contractor or sub
manufacturer almost no capital is
required. Machines may be rented
or bought on the installment plan.
Since the shop is small, little work
ing capital is required, as the sub
manufacturer is furnished with the
material and does not have to hold
finished garments ON the market.
There is, therefore, an excess in con-
tractors, stimulated by hopes of large
profits which in most cases do not
materialize. The result is that the
big jobbers and manufacturers who
control the markets and the capital
have a great bargaining advantage
over the contractor, and constantly
depress his prices through forcing
competitive bidding.
Huge Economic Waste
The net result is huge economic
waste. There is the waste of labor
power due to unemployment for a
large part of the year. There is the
waste of excessive equipment in ma
chinery. There is the waste of in
efficient operation in the small units.
The union estimates that the industry
is at least so per cent over-equipped.
AS the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union is the only ele-
ment in touch with all the factors in
the industry and is the only element
which can exercise a cohesive power,
if the others will not take steps of
their own accord, it has drafted
comprehensive program to meet the
situation just summarized The. de-
mands of the union include the fol-
lowing:
That each jobber and manufacture
er employ only such number of con-
tractors as he can provide with work
to their full capacity.
In slow seasons all available work
shall be divided by the jobber and
manufacturer as equally as possible
among all his contractors, and by
each contractor equally among his
workers.
Other Vital Reforms Demanded
The payment of wages and observ-
ance of union conditions of work on
the part of the contractor shall be
guaranteed by the jobber in the same
way as if such workers were en-
ployed by him directly.
An appropriate sanitary white la
bel shall be adopted by the union to
designate that the garments carrying
the same have been manufactured
under proper and sanitary working
conditions, and such labels shall be
attached to each garment produced
by union employees.
The demands also provide that once
control over the industry is establish

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION

Birmingham will be glad to welcome the delegates to the twenty-fifth an- nual convention of the Southern As sociation of Agricultural Workers, which will be held here beginning January 10. The South's leaders in farm education will be in attendance at this meeting. The membership of the association is composed of in- structors in practically all agricultural schools of the Southern states, farm demonstration agents and other au- thorities in this important branch of scientific research.
 The importance of the work accom- plished by these men during the past twenty years in the South can hardly be overestimated. They are teaching the boys, and even the men, of the South how to apply modern and scien- tific methods to cultivation of the soil. The agricultural future of the South will owe much to their efforts.

HUERTA IS DENIED ARMS

In placing an embargo upon sale and exportation of arms to the Mexi- can insurgents, President Coolidge was but taking the logical course called for by the government sale of arms to Obregon. Many Latin American rev. olutions have been fostered in this country to the great injury of the cause of stable government in our sister republics. Our government has followed wrong policy in permitting such plotting, and is only at this late day assuming its proper moral respon- sibility in the matter. We were not obliged to sell arms to Obregon, but we are certainly obliged to prohibit and prevent the extension of material supplies and aid from this country to leaders of rebellions against recog- nized governments, whether we extend direct aid to established government or not. Therefore, the arms embargo will doubtless find wide approval in this country.
 In this situation also the oil com panies exporting oil from Mexico find themselves in a predicament. De la Huerta, leader of the rebels, has called upon the companies for payment of imposts to his representatives. The taxes already due amount to about two mil.;ur dollars. If the companies refuse payment, then the rebels may stop their exports and perhaps wreck their plants and equipment. If the companies pay the money to De la Huerta, then Obregon may later de- clare that since the taxes were not paid to authorized collectors they would be still due. In such case, it would be a question of whether the Mexican government, having failed temporarily to maintain it's authority, had not forfeited tho revenue exacted by inc insurrectos. The companies are reported as trying to delay the pay ments as long as possible, in the hope that Obregon's victory may remove their problem.
 If Obresnn is victorious, and re- establishes his authority in time to

WHERE TAx-EATERS SWARM

(R. c. Forbes in Forbes Magazine)
 Don't go to Washington. It takes your breath away to ride through that city and see the scores of gigantic buildings hous- ing tax-eaters. You learn, too, that even those staggering build ings usually are not sufficient to house all the employees, and that "overflow'' buildings are occupied here: there and everywhere all over the city. I had never hap pened to see the interstate eom- merce commission building until the. other day, and confess 1t sent a cold shiver down my spine. The feeling one gets is that even a financials genius iike Secretary Mellon will not be able to get very far in reducing taxes so~long as the army of tax-eaters keeps on multiplying at a frightful rate. Surely. government in this country Is being grossly overdone. We must be 8 bad lot to need so much regulating. so much government, so much watching oyer and prob ing by governmental officials.
 Yet, it is not just possible that if we had needed less regulating, if we had been able to run our affairs more agreeEbly to the pub lie at large, there would not have been set up all this inordinate and inordinately costly machinery to pry into our affairs and make us act decently towards one another and towards the public?
