his banking entirely through ex-

Modern banking, with its maze OF

CARBON-MONOXIDE GAS MASK
FOUND USEFUL In MINE RESCUES

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.
That the carbon-monoxide gas
mask is useful as an accessory to
crews engaged in fighting mine fires
and in rescue work in recovery op-
erations covering mine fires and
explosions is the conclusion drawn
from an investigation made by the
Carnegie Institute of Technology and
the Department Of the Interior, in
cooperation.
Owing to it's restricted limitations
in irrepressible gases following fires
and explosions, the carbon monoxide
gas mask is, however, not a substi-
tute for oxygen breathing appara-
tus. In all mines where gas masks
are worn there may be danger of
entering an atmosphere depleted of
its oxygen, against which the gas
mask cannot protect, and as a safe
guard against such a condition a
miners flame safety lamp should be
carried. AS long as the flame burns
there is no danger of insufficient
oxygen to the wearers of gas masks,
but when the flames go out they
should Immediately retreat.
5ntil comparatively recently there
has been a lack of knowledge among
mining men as to the efficiency and
limitations of gas masks when worn
in mines during fires and after ex-
ploslons. The Bureau of Mines of the
Interior department hasa for years
experimented with various types Of
masks and has published its results
in available technical papers. The
tnreau has also issued numerous
arnings against wearing certain
pes Of masks and the limitations
others.
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-03-27

Meanwhile the use of masks at
mines as accessory to oxygen-breath-
ing apparatus has become Increasing
ly general, until at the present time
there are about 1000 masks available
for immediate use at mines, and their
employment during times of disaster
is becoming more common, with re-
ported satisfactory results. AS doubt
has existed as to what extent, where,
and how gas masks should be used,
the Advisory Board of Coal Mine OPP
orators and Engineers of Western
Pennsylvania arranged a cooperative
fellowship under joint direction of the
Bureau of Mines and Carnegie Insti-
tute of Technology at Pittsburgh to
determine whether carbon-monoxide
gas masks may be considered safe by
the bureau under the hazards always
involved in such work, and supple
mentary to the use Of self-contained
oxygen-breathing apparatus.
The fellow appointed, working un-
der direction of two engineers of the
Bureau of Mines, visited eight mine
fires of some magnitude, four mine
explosions, and several minor fires.
He took part in fire-fighting and
recovery operations, obtained and
analyzed samples Of the mine atmos-
pheres in which work was done, and
observed the use made of masks and
rescue apparatus.
The laboratory tests of gas masks,
details of mine fires and explosions
where they were worn, and the results
of their use on such occasions are
given in Bulletin IA Of the Carnegie
Institute Of Technology, written by
S. H. Katz, G. S. MeCaa, and A. L.
Barth.

DAWES PRACTICES WHAT

OWNER OF SCAB PAPER

By International Labor News Service
CHICAGO, March 26.-It no doubt
viii be of interest to trade unionists
throughout the United States to learn
that Vice President Charles G. He'll
an'-Maria Dawes is one of the con-
trolling owners Of a non-union daily
newspaper. The newspaper is the
ws-Index, published at Evanston,
Ill, suburban town on the northern
boundary of Chicago where Dawes
has his home,
The newspaper was formerly com
trolled by A. H. Bowman, but Dawes
and other Chicago. financiers have
kicked Bowman out into the street
after having receiver appointed.
Paper Fights Union
The Evanston News-Index and the
Bowman Publishing Company were
concerns of respectable proportions
and successfully operated under union
conditions up to 1921, when the In
ternational Typographical Union in
augurated it's nationwide strike to
put the 44-hour week into effect in
the job printing industry.
Bowman decided to fight rather
than to accede to the demands of the
printers. His plants were struck and
it was not long before he found him
self in financial difficulties. To ex-
tricate himself he started a stock
selling campaign among the citizens
of Evanston, endeavoring to sell stock
in blocks of 500 to 5000.

tion over Evanston, knocked Bow

GARMENT MAKERS
BEGIN CAMPAIGN ON
PRISON MADE GOODS

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 20.
Charles L. Buschmann, of the Lew
is Meir & Co. Of this city and a MEM
ber Of the executive board Of the I'm
ion Made Garment Manufacturing
Association of America, has started
a campaign in Indiana against pris-
on-made work garments. The drive
is part of q general campaign by the
manufacturers of union-made gar
ments urging union labor to demand
the label of the Union Garment Max
ers Of America on all garments pur-
chased.
Attention is called to the assertion
of one manufacturer of shirts, who
says that his firm made over 10000
900 work shirts last year, and who
operates and controls the output of
15 penal institutions where prison
labor is employed in making these
garments.
The union garment makers are de-
handing that union men support this
campaign by refusing to buy work
clothes from merchants who do not
handle union-made garments. Trade
unions are urged to appoint a COM
mittee to call on merchants and in
form them of this decision.
The campaign has the Endorsement
of the United Garment Workers Of
America.
The recent Indiana legislature kill
ed an anti-prison-made bill which
trade unionists had brought before
the Legislators. It is expected that
the present union label campaign will
have the same effect as would be OBJ
tanned by the passage of the desired
legislation.

Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-03-27

Two of the most noted lawyers in
Ohio, George B. Okey and Timothy S.
Hogan, have assured President Frey
and Secretary Thomas j. Donnelly of
the Ohio State Federation of Labor
that the bill is constitutional. Section
is as follows:
"Every undertaking or promise
hereafter made, whether written or
oral, expressed or implied, constitut-
ing, or contained in, any contract or
agreement of hiring or employment
between any individual, firm, COM
pany, association, or corporation, and
any employee or prospective employe
of the same, whereby (a) either par
ty to such contract or agreement un-
dertakes or promises not to join, be-
come, or remain, a member of any
labor organization or of any organ
ization of employers, or (b) either
party to such contract or agreement
undertakes or promises that he will
withdraw from the employment re-
lation in the event that he joins, be-
comes, remains, member of any la
Dor organization or of any orRaniza-
tion of employers, is hereby declared
to be contrary to public policy and
wholly void"
Attorneys Obey and Hogan have
pointed out that the 'yellow-dog"
contracts are an "unwarrantad inva-
sion of liberty" guaranteed by Sec
tion Of the bin OF rights Of the
Ohio State constitution, which pro-
videa; ~. .>.a. sezS. -,
s~All men are, by nature, fres and
independent, and have certain inalienA
able rights, among which are those
of enjoying and defending life and
labor, acquiring, possessing and pro-
tecting property and seeking and OBJ
tanning happiness and safety"
They also quote the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution Of the
United States in which it sets forth
that no state shall make or deprive
any person of life, liberty or property
without due process of law"
Workers Back Measure
After the bill was presented in the
Legislature, the reference committee,
to which all measures are referred
for distribution among the various
committees, refused to refer the bill
to the appropriate committee. How
ever, pressure was brought to bear
by President Frey and Secretary Dom
nelly and the bill was submitted to
the committees on judiciary of the
House and labor of the Senate.

lgN YORK DRESS
'1OBBERS YIELD TO
GARMENT WORKERS

NEW YORK CITY, March 2e.-
The stoppage Of work by $4,000 dress
makers it at an end. They resumed
work after a triumphant march into
the garment district Of 1000 shop
-chairmen who had heard the terms
of settlement read at Webster Hall
by Israel Feinberg, general manager
of the Joint Board of Cloak and
Dress Unions.
The triumph Of the international
Ladies' Garment Workers Union in
this instance is another case in which
this union has outmanoeuvred the EN-
ployers and then managed to defeat
them by remarkable demonstration
of strength.
Many Conferences Held
Since last January conferences
have been held by the three factors
in the industry jobbers, virtual
ly the capitalists; the contractors, and
union representatives. Two contracts
were drawn between the union and
jobbers and between the union and
contractors. These covered many adj
vanced ideas including unemployment
insurance, union label on garments,
wage increases, 40-hour week, etc.
They also provided for q schedule of
prices to regulate the rates for piece
work.
When the agreements were to be-
come effective a left wing" element
among the jobbers refused to pay the
contractors the agreed upon labor
costs. They said they were not parties
to a schedule of prices and balked.
The first pay day passed and there
was no extra money in the envelopes
of the workers. The contractors were
indignant and voted to close their
shops. The union beat the contract
ors to it and called stoppage.
Workers Take Vacation
BY telegram 1000 shop chairmen
got word not to let the workers, 80
per cent Of whom ara girls, to operate
until the agreement had been made
effective in fnlls They did 50 with
the result that one hour later the
hum and elatter Of the busy dress
shops was stilled. Instead Of working
the girls danceds ehatted or joked.
They went out TO luncheon and came
back but did not work, went home at
5 o'clock and came back next morning
on time, again doing no work. 1t twas
not strike for there was no picket
ing, no mass meeting, no excitement
except that emanating from the con-
ference room.
With a delay Of full week, with
heavy demands for orders from stores
to supply the Easter and spring trade,
with growing evidence that the dress
makers were not to be trifed with, q
force was exerted on the jobbers that
made them yield. They then agreed
to live up to the contract they sought
to repudiate.
