NON-UNION PRINTERS
TURN OUT EXTENSION
UNIVERSITY TEXTBOOKS

By International Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-Oficers of
Chicago Typographical Union No. 16
have been unable to persuade the La
Sale Extension University to have all
of It's printing done under union con-
ditions. This is particularly true with
reference to the text books, which
make up the heaviest item Of the uni
versity's printing bill.
The LaSalle Extension University
conducts correspondence courses with
thousands Of students in all parts of
the United States and Canada, many
of them union men and women, a
large number of whom are employed
on railroads and who are taking ae-
eountancy courses.
These men and women should un-
derstand that the text books sent
them by the university are being
printed under non-union conditions
and that a little pressure on the part
Of the students no doubt would rectify
matters. A part of the printing of
the LaSalle Extension University has
been done in union printing Offices for
some time past.

UNION BOMB OUTRAGE
STORY EXPLODED; PLOT
BY FACTORY owner

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.--Another per-
fectly good "union labor bomb out
rage" has been completely ruined.
Irving Shraiberg, owner of the nom
union dress factory at 115 South
Market Street, this city, has been for
mally charged with becnbing his fac
tory in order to collect the insurance.
A charge Of malicious mischief also
has been placed against Samuel AL
bin, a friend of Shraiberg, who is
accused Of planting the bombs.
Deputy State Fire Marshal McNally
discovered that Schraiberg and his
brother Norman carried $4,000 in
bomb, sprinkler and fire insurance on
their place, although the stock, he
said, is worth no more than $4,000.
The Shraibergs recently cut the
wages Of their employees 10 per cent
and began hiring colored girls to re-
place their dissatisfied white girl en-
ployes. This action was quickly fol-
lowed by the explosion Of two bombs
at the factory late on q Saturday
afternoon while several of the girls
were still at work. The place was
wrecked and nnnher Of the en-
ployes injured.
The Chicago daily newspapers
blazoned the story of their front
pages as "union labor outrage" and
published pictures of the wrecked
plant and of the injured employees.
The "sob sisters" had a perfectly
lovely time for a couple of days pic
turing this added proof that organ
lied labor is composed of criminals
of the deepest dye. The State fire
marshal's exposure of the fake, how
ever, was boiled down to the briefest
details and hidden away in obscure
corners of the news columns.

Miners Do Better Work
J When Ventilation Is Good

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. L.
Good mine ventilation enables miner
to work well in hot places, declares
DIR. R. R. Sayers, chief surgeon of the
Bureau Of Mines, Department of the
Interior, in Miners Circular %, just
issued. Many mining companies have
installed specially designed ventiIating
systems for the purpose Of lowering
temperatures. One large mining COM
pany spent more than $4,000 to sink
a ventiIating shaft and to buy venti-
lating equipment. 1t has been report
ed that this installation pays for it.
self once every six months in savings
and in better work for the miners.
Even though the composition Of the
air is normal, if the temperature and
humidity are abnormally high the
miner can not work as well and his
health probably suffers, observes DR..
Sayers. Men who have heart disease
and disease of the blood vessels can
not stand high temperatures well.
The Bureau Of Mines found that
where the temperature of the air is
above 70 degrees F. and the relative
humidity, or moisture content, is high,
the miner is more comfortable and
can work better If the air is moving.
If the air moves at the rate of 100
feet per minute, miner is comfort
able and can work as long as the
temperature shown BY q wet-bulb
Thermometer is not above S5 degrees

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MOURN FOR GOMPERS

By international Labor News Service
CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The death of
Samuel Gompers, president of the
Amefican Federation of Labor, while
not unexpected. came as a shock to
the Chicago labor movement. Mr..
Gompers had made many visits to
Chicago during his moro than 40 years
Of leadership and had formed strong
friendships here. Many prominent
men and women outside Of the labor
movement knew him well and have
publicly expressed their sorrow at the
passing of the great chieftain.
The front of the Federation Build
ing, 166 West Washington Street,
headquarters of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor and Of the Chica-
go Federation Of Labor, is draped in
mourning and both bodies provided
floral pieces at New York. A delega-
tion Of Union labor officers Of Chicago
and Illinois attended the funeral serv-
ices in New York City, among them

the statement that the brotherhood
leaders" were compelling the men
to vote, that they might have a club
to force the Howell -Barkley bill
through congress. When the strike
vote was announced, railroad officials
began to talk sense.
Simultaneous with the wage in
crease announcement, the Southern
Pacific stated that in the last ten
months all records have been smashed

200 to 800 feet per minute. Still air
at temperature of 80 to 95 degrees
is very oppressive, but air of the
same temperature is much less SO
when it is moving 400 to 800 feet per
minute.
Recent studies of the Bureau of
Mines have shown that miners can be
more comfortable and do much better
work in air of high temperatures and
humidities if small portable fan is
used to make air movement. This
method, however, should be used only
in emergencies or temporarily until a
permanent ventilating system can be
put in to replace hot humid air with
cooler pure air, and thus keep the
harmful gases from collecting abnor-
mally. It can not be said too strong
IL that working ability, comfort, and
good health depend largely on pure
air.
Air low in oxygen causes the lungs
to breathe deeper and faster and the
heart to beat faster Too little oxy-
gen may cause Inconsistencies and
even death. The flame Of a safety
lamp may be used to detect air con-
tanning too little oxygen. Too much
carbon dioxide in air causes deeper
and more rapid breathing, headache,
dimness Of sight, and trembling. The
presence Of carbon dioxide and the
amount may be learned by a special
portable apparatus made for this pur-
pose. Nitrogen, hydrogen, and me-
thane do not poison the body but may
lessen the amount Of oxygen and thus
Indirectly cause trouble.
