SANITARY LABEL
To Be Used in Three Larg-
est Centers in Women's
Garment Industy

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago.-The second most impor-
tant women's clothing market in the
United States will sew the sanitary
union label on all coats and suits
manufactured in this city as a result
of the agreement signed recently be-
tween the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union and the Chicago
ciation
Baltimore has already acted favor
ably SO that three big manufacturing
centers-New York, Chicago and Bal
timore-are committed to turning out
garments that bear a guarantee of
sanitary shops and good workmanship
by union members. Nearly $4,000
cloak and suit makers are covered by
the arrangements An additional 30,-
900 dressmakers are under the same
provision Thus a total of $4,000
women's garment makers will get the
benefit of the agreement.
Under the agreement provision is
made for an unemployment insurance
fund, similar to that in existence in
the New York cloak industry. In
Chicago, however, the employer will
contribute one and one-half per cent
of the weekly pay roll to the fund
and the workers three-quarters of one
per cent Of their weekly pay The sum
thus raised will be distributed to
those who fail to make an average
seasons work in the coming year.
Provision is made to introduce
standards in the local factories that
may result from the investigation of
the industry going on in New York.
The new agreement provides some
increases in wages, the cutters min
imum being increased from $45 to
$55 week, that of button sewers
from $2050 to $24, and of edge bas-
ters and fur sewers from $31 to $35.

Of course the real big feature,
stunt, event, Barnum's greatest and
only one of the kind, not dead but
living, or whatever you might call it,
will be the big parade to be held on
Friday, May /, in which it is ex-
pected that fully 10000 boys and
girls will take part. Anyone missing
this feature of the Boys and Girls
Week celebration will always be justi-
fed in claiming that the world owes
them something.

1t is said that no woman wants her
children to grow up crippled, blind
or charge upon society. She would
like to see them even as the wild
flowers in the good old springtime-
drinking in and enjoying Gods sun

Mia Allen, who administered the fed
eral child labor laws at Washington,
who firmly opposed the recent amend
ment. Miss Grace Abbott, new chief
of that bureau, favored the federal
amendment. One believes in an end
less. charity workers organization,
while the other believes in the final
elimination of such things. And then
we wonder why our divorce courts

around that shortage, they had work

FOREST DAMAGE.
DREsIDENT COOLIDGE has pro

DRESIDENT COOLIDGE has pro-
claimed American Forest Week
beginning yesterday and extending
to May 8. The purpose in pro-
claiming this week was to call
particular attention to the rapid
depletion of our forests by fire,
wasteful utilization and other
causes and thereby to stimulate in
terest in future forest protection.
There has been a change in name
from Forest Protection week to
American Forest week. This
change was made to enlarge it's
scope of observance and to secure
a greater cooperation from public
and private organizations through
out the country Under it's present
designation, it is no longer limited
to fire protection, but will apply
equally to reforestation problems,
such as reclaiming idle timberlands
which have been destroyed through
fire in the past.
1t has been estimated by compe-
tent sforesters that the original
forests of this country covered
about S22 million acres. Today
there is estimated to be only 1873
million acres of virgin forest re-
manning and 250 million acres Of
second growth timber or young
trees which, of course, are now of
no commercial value. Thus it will
be seen that only about AZ per cent
of the original timber resources OF
the nation remain. Furthermore,
there is conservatively estimated
to be eighty-one million acres of
land suitable for no other purpose
than forest growth which is now
idle, and all of it needs protection
against recurring fires in order to
re-establish the forests which once
grew upon this vast domain
The principal enemy of forests
has always been fire. 1t has been
estimated that more than 100000
acres of virgin and second growth
timberland is being burned over
annually, causing loss of approx
mately $17,OOO,O00 each year. On a
countrywide basis it is estimated
The Winslow mail., 1925-04-28

that 80 per cent of this loss is due
entirely to preventable fires of hu-
man origin. The federal govern
ment has enacted a national for
estry law which is intended to stim-
ulate the action of the states in the
conservation of public and private
forests and by this act has launched
the federal policy Of forest rehabili-
tation.
In Arizona and New Mexico there
is estimated to be approximately
100000 acres of land containing
saw timber, or about per cent of
the total area of the states. If the
saw timber type and woodland
forests are included, about 27 per
cent of the total area of the two
states is timbered The saw tim
Der type of the two states, includ-
ing national forests, Indian reser-
vations, state and public domain
and private lands, contains approx
mately 35,000,000,OO0 feet of timber.
With this vast storehouse of virgin
timber within the two states, the
Importance of protecting it from
fire is paramount.
1t has been the policy of the for
estry service in handling the tim
Der stands to dispose of the timber
as crop, marketing only the ripe
timber, and so arranging the cut
ting cycle, that there will be a new
stand ready to replace the present
stand at the end of the cutting
period.
Although the people of Arizona,
as rule, have been quite careful
in preventing fire, which in this
region also is the greatest enemy
of the forest, there still is much
room for improvement. In 1924
33 per cent of the $40 fires occur
ring in the national forests of Ari-
zona were due to human careless
ness. Although this record was a
marked improvement over the pre-
vious year, which was SO per cent,
it is believed that with the further
cooperation of the press and other
public agencies, it will be possible
to reduce this number very greatly.
The total area burned over in
Arizona was $4,000 acres, and the
total estimated damage $4,000. In
addition to the above it cost the
federal government $4,000 to sup
press the fires occurring on nation
al forest lands of the state.-

SEE ARIZONA FIRST.

PRACTICALLY every civic and
commercial organization in Ari-
zona will join in the "See Arizona
First" movement this summer, it
is shown by a compilation Of an
nouncements from all sections of
the state. See Arizona First" has
become statewide popular slogan
comparable to use Arizona Prod
ucts," and has been taken up every
where to advertise the states
scenic and climatic vacation at
fractions not only to Arizonians
but to residents of other states.
Reports received at the end of
the 1924 vacation season by the Ari
zona Industrial congress showed
that more Arizonians spent their
vacations in the state last year
than ever before, commercial re-
sorts reporting the best business in
their history. Indications thus far
point to even better results from
the campaign this year.
In urging that Arizona citizens
spend their vacations in the state,
and that families usually spending
the summer in California or the
east spend it instead in Arizona
summer-reSort' cities and towns,
the organizations sponsoring the
movement point out that the prac-
tice of going away for the summer
takes $2,000,00O out of Arizona
every year. Spending summers in
the state not only will keep that
huge amount at home, but will re-
suit in the steady development of
new resorts and better accommo-
dations throughout the resort sec
tions of Arizona, and will in time
create a national summer play
ground ITO attract visitors from
other parts OF the country.
In connection with this years
"See Arizona First" movement, the
Industrial congress is preparing to
issue within the next few weeks
another ARIZONA Vacation Direc
tory" to be placed with all organ
izations, firms and other agencies
receiving requests for information
about vacationing in the state.
This directory also will be supplied
to any individuals requesting it.
All commercial summer resorts
of the state have been urged to
send complete information regard
ing their attractions to the Indus
trial congress in Phoenix, so that
they may be included in the di
rectory.

Had never known the yoke of
mills.
Transfixed he Stood. and gazed
upon

His untaught soul in perfect tune
With Natures hymn, her silent
verse.
