INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 1e.--
Despite early assurances that there
would be no wage controversies in
the building trades here, union as
bestos workers and the bridge and
structural iron workers have failed
to reach an agreement and are on
strike.
The contract with the two unions
expired ct midnight April l, as did
contracts between employers and EN-

several days negotiations prior to the
expiration Of the scale, Harrison Wal

reached. Eleven other building trade
crafts completed their negotiations
with the contractors. The scale pro-

ILLINOIS LABOR DEMANDS REPUBLICANS
KEEP PROMISE TO CURB COURT POWER

By International Labor News Service .
CHICAGO, April 16.--Organized
labor of Illinois resents the singing
slap in the face administered by the
lower house of the General Assembly
when 1t voted down the injunction
limitation bill introduced by R. G.
Soderstrom, union printer, repre-
senting the Streator district.
Representative Soderstrom, by a
quick and timely parliamentary move
saved the bill for future action in the
present session. Having kept tab as
the roll call proceeded, he saw that
his bill had lost by a small margin.
He made a motion before the vote
could be announced that further con-
sideration of the bill be postponed.
The motion carried.
The Republican Party of Illinois is
in a bad fix as the hesult of the de-
feat of the injunction limitation bill,
and no excuses that may be offered
in the future can palliate the offense
committed, which was a downright
and inexcusable betrayal of the
working people of Illinois.
The Republican Party of Illinois is
unequivocally pledged to pass a law
curbing the power of the courts of
this State in reference to the issu-
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-04-17

ance of injunctions in labor disputes.
The action of the Legislature, which
is controlled by the Republicans, indi-
Gates that the platform pledges of
the Republican Party are meaning
less and of no value. ~
Injunction Evil Issue
One of the principal planks upon
which Gov. Len Small made his cam
paign for denomination and reelection
covered the injunction evil.
Governor Small promulgated his
declaration of principles at a huge
mass meeting held in his home town
of Kankakee when he launched his
boom for second term.
Following the Governors success
full fight for denomination, in which
organized labor took a conspicuous
and whole-hearted part, the Repub-
lican State Convention, held at
Springfield, Incorporated the Exam
kakee PLATFORM" as it had become
known, as a part of the party plat
form.
Platform Stirred Great Enthusiasm
The "Kankakee platform" was
greeted with great enthusiasm in the
State convention and it went over
with a whoop and bang as a good
thing with which to catch votes. Now,
when it is time to deliver on the
pledges made, the enthusiasm has
vanished and labor gets a punch in
the eye.
Organized labor supported the Re-
publican State ticket in the election
last fall largely because of the decla-
rations contained in the "Kankakee"
and regular Republican State plat
forms.
Many sorts of efforts were made to
induce the labor forces to favor the
placing of full La Toilette Wheeler
State ticket in the field in Illinois,
but all such efforts were resisted be-
cause it was deemed the better plan
to go down the line with La Toilette
and Wheeler on national issues and
with Governor Small ON State issues.
Employers Hand Seen in Vote
The fine Italian hand of the Illinois
Manufacturers Association and the
Machiavellian Vaccinations of the
Illinois Chamber of Commerce are
seen in the result of the vote in the
House of Representatives on this bill.
1t is suspected that these two big
business aggregations have been put
ting out something more substantial
than convincing arguments and emp
ty promises to induce Republican leg
islators to betray their party and the
working people of Illinois.
The big manufacturing, banking
and commercial Interests of Illinois
have made arrangements to put on a
huge meeting and demonstration at
Springfield April 21. The press
agents of this three-ring circus an
nounce that the business interests
want to show the people of the State
and the members of the Legislature
in particular that the busy business
man takes healthy, wholesome, pat
riotic and wholly altruistic interest in
Legislative matters.
Stampede for COnstabulary Bill
Several of these meetings already
have been held at Springfield, but Il
there was anything altruistic about
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-04-17

them it was not discernible The OBJ
ject of the promoters of the meetings
already held was to stampede the
Legislature into passing the bill to
create State constabulary force to
be used for strike-breaking purposes.
Former Gov. Charles S. Deneen has
been billed as the headliner on the
speaking program for the meeting to
be held at Springfield April 81. He is
now one of the two United States,
Senators from Illinois, having sue
ceeded Medill Mccormick March 4
last.
Trade unionists of Illinois, who
have known Charley Deneen for many
years as perhaps the foxiest politician
ever produced in the State, are won
dering how the "union busters" ever
tagged him for the questionable job
that they have fixed up for him at
the Springfield gabfest and wire-pull-
ing stunt.
Think Deneen Was Misled
Some of Deneen's trade union
friends say that the big business boys
slipped up on Charley when he had
his mind on weighty affairs of state
and wasn't looking. These friends
predict that he will suddenly find that
he has a sore toe or sumpen and can't
play when he learns the true state of
affairs.
One member of the Legislature who
put himself in particularly bad fix
by voting against the injunction limi-
tation bill is Representative Jim Ash
by of Springfield.
Ashby is a member of organized
labor and was very resentful over the
fact that the Illinois State Federation
of Labor did not indorse him when
he was up for election. The officers
of the State body had no knowledge
of the fact that Ashby was a union
man and did not make recommends
ton either for or against him.
Labor Disguised With Ashby
Ashby voiced his woesA to the Chi
cago correspondent of International
Labor News Service at Springfield
shortly after the Legislature conven-
ed. Ashby told the correspondent
that he was intellectually for la
boris program. The correspondent
acted as a messenger boy between
Ashby and the officers of the State
Federation of Labor to get matters
Strengthened out.
The officers of the Federation were
delighted to learn that there was one
more vote that they could add to their
list. The officers and the correspon-
dent are Disguised and disappointed
at the dismal failure Of their efforts
to put "card man" right.

CHILDREN ARE SLAVES
IN PEKING RUG SHOPS

By international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 10.
Exploitation to the limit Of child
workers in the rug factories Of Pek-
ing, China, is described BY the United
States Department Of Labor, in a re-
port which says that the rug indus
try, like many other industries in
China, is in the midst of transition
from the small shop basis to factory
conditions.
The report says that most Of the
rug shops are owned by individual
proprietors with small capital, and
neither employers nor workers have
any form Of protective or cooperative
organization. The shops are dark
and overcrowded, with no attempt at
sanitation. The worlrooms also
serve as dormitories for employees.
The working hours approximate the
hours of daylight; only three shops in
Picking are working less than II
hours day.
Almost three-fourths of the en-
ployes in this industry are apprenti-
ces, who as a rule receive their food
and clothing and very little money
but no regular wages. The boys are
brought in from the country at the
age of IL or IL, and sometimes
younger, to serve under contract for
three years. During this time they
are entirely under the control of the
shop owner, living in the shops in
which they work and receiving no
moral or educational training, and
no physical care.
The system is practically one Of in
dentured child labor. Moreover, the
apprenticeship is practically a Eblind
alley; for most of the boys there is
no future in the industry because
when the apprenticeship period is
completed other boys are brought in
to take their places.

ORIGIN OF APRIL FOOL
JOKING VERY ANCIENT

The custom of playing tricks on

the record of its origin has been lost,
but we do know that India, as far

the spring festival of Hull which ends
March 81, with tricks and pranks
playing a large part in the merri-
ment.
In France such customs were IN
force back in the 18th century. The

is an "April gowk." Our own small

cending scale, was less than for the
corresponding months in 1928. This
is reflected in the gradual dip of farm
wages to the present point after two
years of ascent.
The farmers labor problem thus
differs from the factory owner. When
production is high and factories are
running at capacity, the factory wage
scale is almost sure to be q rising
one. Apparently farm wages are not
SO controlled. Farmers now are in
a better position financially than
since 1920 but nevertheless wages go
down. In the year 1928, farm pros
perity did not keep pace with indus
trial prosperity, but the level of farm
wages rose despite that.
At present industrial employment
is on rising scale, which may have
an effect on farm wages during the
next few months.
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-03-27

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 26.
Farm wages are now well under
the average for 1924. They are
slightly less than the average for
1928 but greater than in 1922. The
average monthly wages of farm lab
or without board is computed by the
Department of Agriculture from in
formation obtained from farms
throughout the country.
In general, farm wages follow the
ups and downs of factory employment.
When industrial employment is high
farmers have to pay more to hold
their help. When industrial employ
ment recedes, the farmer finds it cas-
Ter to hold his labor.

1924, employment, while on an as

made entirely of straw. The clock does not
contain a particle of metal of any kind.
Even glue was not used in its construction.
That the work Of the shoemaker was well

has been runding for II years. In all
that time it has never stopped and has
required no repairing. The mechanism
Of he clock is rather simple. It consists
of a weight and an arrangement of

RESTORING PHAROAH'S GATE.

EgyptOlogists believe that Merenptah
was the Pharoah of Exodus, the Egypt
ian king who set taSkmaSters over the
children of Abraham and made their
lives bitter with heavy burdens. In 1922
DR.. Clarence Fisher, of the University Of
PENNSYLVANIA. discovered a huge gateway
of the palace of Merenptah at Memphis.
The original palace covered five acres
and was an elaborate structure. 1t was
situated in Memphis ear the temple of
Ptah, who was the patron god of the ca
pitaI OF Egypt. The palace contained a
large throne, apartments of state, recep-
ton lo0ms, courts, coionnades and bed
rooms to accommodate the large house
hold of the king.
In uncovering the palace DR.. Fisher
found what he thought was the bathroom
of Merenptah. He also found chambers
which had been used as kitchens. The
large gate of the palace is being restored
at the University museum IN Phlladel-
phia. Very likely Moses and Aaron pas
sed through this very gate when they
went IN to plead the cause of the children
of Israel before the pharoah' The gate
