HIGHER WAGES
Paid New Jersey Women
Workers Under Short
Hour Day

Washington.-In survey of wom-
en- in New Jersey industries, just
published in pamphlet form by the
United States women's bureau, it is
stated that higher wage rates is the
tendency where shorter hours prevail
In 1920, it is stated, there were
295, $3.50 women engaged in gainful oc-
equations in that state This is nearly
one-quarter, or 23.9 per cent, of all
the women in the state. Of the total
number, III 1926 were engaged in man
ufacturing and mechanical industries.
In several industries four-ffths or
more of the workers were women and
in five others women constituted at
least one-half of the force.
1T is clear that the standards es-
tablished by these industries for their
women employees represents the dom
mating conditions in number of i'm
portant industries of the state" it is
said
The report combats the too-preva-
lent idea that women work for wages
to earn pin money"
"This makes a strong appeal to
those not thoroughly acquainted with
the true situation and justify in the
eyes of many people the low wages
of women workers. The fallacy of
this position can not be too much en-
phasized. The average woman in in
dustry, whether married or single
living at home or Independently
really needs her earnings, frequently
not only for her own support, but fol
that of others as well. 1t is not usual
for her to be the sole support OF
others, although many instances Of
such responsibility are to be found
but the average woman shares the
burden of family support with 9th

CAN'T SUE UNIONS

ST. Louis, Mo.-If the higher courts
sustain Circuit Judge Killoren's rul-
ing in damage suit against the
United Garment Workers, it will be
impossible to secure injunctions
against unions in this state, accord
ing to John P. Leahy, attorney for
the union.
A woman sued the garment workers
for damages, alleging that she was
wrongfully expelled. Judge Killoren
dismissed the suit on the ground that
the act under which it was filed is
unconstitutional.
This act, Attorney Leahy declares,
was put through the legislature at the
instance of the Manufacturers Asso-
citation, principally to permit the FL
ing of injunction suits against Off
cials of unions involved in suit.

New York's Winning Fight
On Gary System Presages
Death of Plan in Chicago

By international Labor News Service.
Chicago go.-International Labor News
Services account of the fight being
conducted by the Chicago Federation
of Labor and the Chicago Teachers
Federation against the "Garyizing'
of the Chicago public schools has at
tracted countrywide attention.
The account was read by Peter j.
Brady, chairman of the committee on
education and banking of the New
York State Federation Of Labor and
president of the Federation Bank of
New York city, who has come to the
assistance of the organized labor
forces of Chicago in an interesting
and Illuminating letter that he has
written to Victor A. Olander, secre-
tary-treasurer of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Olander is leading Chicago la
bor's fight against the plan of the
board of education to adopt the pla-
toon system, junior highs and intelli-
gence tests for pupils in the Chicago
public schools. The executive board
of the Chicago Federation of Labor
has denounced the plan as an attempt
to introduce the Hindu caste system
into the local public schools, and the
Chicago Teachers Federation has
characterized the plan as "the factory
system of education"
New York Unions Beat Same
Scheme
Mr. Brady in his letter to Mr.
Olander refers to the new departure
as the "get-educated-quick" system,
and tells of the methods employed
by organized labor to defeat efforts
to put over a similar plan in the New
York city public schools several years
ago

Organized Labor Begins
Big Campaign to Boom
Union Label Products

By International Labor News Service.
Atlantic City, N. IA campaign
designed to bring into action approx
mately 10000 committees of from
three to five men each in line for
promotion of the purchase of union
made goods bearing the union label
was approved by the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor as one of the last acts before
final adjournment.
The campaign will be under the
guidance of the label trades depart
ment of the American Federation of
Labor, with John j. Manning, secre-
tary of that department, in active
charge
The officers of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor were directed by the
executive council to request all in
ternational unions to secure the CO.
operation of their local organizations
and to put behind the campaign the
full strength of the organization.
All in Readiness for Drive
Mr.. Manning, who presented the
plans for the campaign to the council
here, said that an immense quantity
of literature, including posters and
distribution throughout the country.
The placing of this literature, as well
as the placing of advertising, will be
in the hands of the affiliated interna-
tional unions and their local organ-
cations.
In formal communication to the
affiliated unions, announcing it's en-
dorsement of the project, the execu-
tive council says:
"At the meetings of the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor, held at Atlantic City, it
was decided to cooperate with the
officials of the union label trades de-
partment, American Federation of
Labor, in the nation wide campaign
for the union label, shop card and
working button, which will be inaug-
urated August 25th and continue for
one month.
Full Cooperation Urged
with this end in view the officials
of all affiliated international and ma
tional unions are urged to give pub
licity to this campaign through their
official publications and in such other
manner as may seem best to them.
"All state federations of labor and
city central bodies are requested to
notify affiliated unions of the great
need of active participation in this
campaign by appointment of COM
mittees to conduct local campaigns
and to advise the secretary of the

HELD ILLEGAL
keystone State Pension Act
Is Against Constitution,
Says Court

Harrisburg, Pa-Attorney General
Woodruff announces that he will ap-
peal to the state supreme court from
Judge Hargest's decision that the
Pennsylvania old age pension law of
1923 is unconstitutional. Judge
largest ruled that the law violates
this section of the constitution:
"No appropriations, except for
pensions or gratuities for military
services, shall be made for charitable,
educational or benevolent purposes to
any person or community nor to any
denominational or sectarian institu-
ton, corporation or association"
The pension law created commits
sion of three persons for the paying
of ST day to those who do not have
an estate of $4,000 or more and who
are 70 years of age or over.
In setting the law aside, Judge
largest said:
whether or not this legislation is
beneficial or whether it is paternal-
ism and a vicious usurpation by the
government of quasi-fatherly rela-
tion to the citizen and his family can
not concern US. Our single inquiry
must be whether it is prohibited by
the constitution itself.
IF we are right in our conclusion
that the prohibition for benevolence
to any person is as broad as the Ian
guage plainly indicates, then we say
there is not syllable in the constitu-
tion which authorizes a system of
benevolence through state depart
ment or agency for the care and
maintenance of aged ilnigent resi-
dents of the state.
"If appropriations can be made to
a commission the purpose of which is
to distribute benevolence to aged in
digent persons, it is accomplishing
exactly what the constitution says can
not be done, namely, making an ap-
preparation for benevolent purposes
to certain persons.
"Nor can this act be sustained as
a poor law. Fundamentally, a state
should take care of its paupers. "A
pauper is one so poor as to be unable
to provide for him or herself and
having no one of sufficient pecuniary
ability to care for them This act
