STEEL PROPHETS
FAIL; PRODUC-
TION GAINED

New York.-Steel trust production
made decided advance the past two
years, though the long workday was
abandoned II months ago. With in
creased efficiency through shorter
hours, trust mills have discarded
ancient methods and installed up-to-
date machinery and labor-saving de-
vices.
None of the predictions of disaster
by shorter workday foes has been
verified. These prophets of woe now
say Production and earnings will not
be as severely affected by the change
as had been feared when it was put
into effect

By International Labor News Service
Washington, ID. C.-Women work
ers, who are largely unorganized, are
penalized for their failure to form
powerful trade unions, by being fore
ed to work for lower wages than do
men, who are strongly organized.
This fact is emphasized by study
of women's wages in Massachusetts
made by the state department of
labor and industries. According to
returns made to the department,
women's wages average about 60 per
cent of those of men, The depart
ment is securing monthly payroll
data for men and women employees
from selected group of manufac-
turing establishments in the state.
The report for March from 386 es-
adjustments employing 58,192 men
and 22,197 women gives the average
weekly earnings of men as $28.06,
and the average weekly earnings of
women, S16.12. Average earnings
of women in specific occupations in
clude boot and shoe cut stocks and
findings, $14.00; bread and bakery
products, $12.26; dyeing and finish
ing textiles, $13.99; manufacture of
rubber goods, $13.83; and woolen
and worsted goods, $18.44.
The figures secured from the
monthly returns give a somewhat
more favorable picture of the rela-
ton of women's wages to those of
men than the annual statistics of
manufactures which includes all
women employed in manufacturing
industries in the state. According to
the annual statistics womens wages
average approximately one-half the
wages of men. This is practically

MUST OPEN BOOKS

Chicago.-Federal Judge Chffe has
ruled that meat packers must open
their books to the department of agri-
culture. The district attorney was
sustained in his point that the pack
ers' federal law of 1913 and the sub
sequent act of 1921 confers power on
the department of agriculture to in
spect the books at packing plants at
any time and give them such publicity
as is deemed necessary. The packers
will appeal. Contrary decisions have
been made by higher courts.

NO REVOLUTIONARY
PARTY IN AMERICA

New York-An Associated Press
cable from Berlin states that at an
executive session of the communist
internationale William Dunn, of Mon
tana, said there is no revolutionary
mass party in America. This will not
be fact until the Gompers organi-
zation is captured and the 100000
negroes in America are stirred up,''
he said.
The multiplicity of nationalities and
the high development Of American
capitalists also obstruct the formation
Of an American revolutionary party

woolens and worsteds, declared Pre-
sident Mcmahon of the United Tex

causes for the slump in this industry.
The labor cost is not responsible, as
the trade unionist shows that the cost
for weaving enough cloth for a S45
suit of clothes is $1.44.
AS a result of an investigation in
various cities, President Mcmahon
said he was amazed to find $50 many

The unionist was told that 'the

Mahon, "why our woolen and worsted
mills are not running their usual sc

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET
WITH HIGHWAY COMMISSION

The county commissioners returned
Wednesday = morning from Denver
where they were called to consult with
the State Highway commission, con-
cerning the taking over of the high
ways of the county by the state COM
mission for maintenance purposes. The
question involved the REIMBURSEMENT
by the county board of the gasoline
tax derived from sales from this coun.
ty, which sales are increasing every
year.
Our commissioners declined the sug-
gestion of the state board because
they feel that it would necessitate a
delay in repairs and emergency work,
prevent the employment of taxpayers
and home people, direct the employ
ment from Denver, and build up
machine, under civil service, of men
who, no matter how incompetent and
unsatisfactory, could not easily be
gotten rid of. The commissioners are
to go down again on December 8 to
meet with the Highway commission,
for a discussion of the budget for
highway work for the coming, fiscal
year.
After returning home the commits
sioners went into session and finished
allowing bills for election expenses and
for other purposes.
