Cement Making In

Show Decline

By International Labor News Service
Albany. n y. Aug. s5.--lndusiual
Commission Hamilton In his current
report on employment asserts there Is
slight downward movement IN the
building supply industries Most IN
teNsling Is that cement and plaster
factories took ON mote workers aud

steady gain In the last four years
On the other hand, he says, small
increases in the brick industry Went
along with decreases, This industry
is way below the high period Of last
year Cut stone and marble remained
fairly even
Speculation on the cause Of thi.
difference Is ripe. The main factor
is the vast increase in the use oi
concrete in foad building and IN fac.

also is that other stones are becom

Canadian Farmers
Fight immigration

Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Aug. 20
Canadian farmers in this province
are not deluded by the cry for lmmi-
grants, raised by captains OF industry
and the Canadian Pacific railroad. In
opposing these interests, the conyen-
ton of Farmers union of Canada,
held here, pointed out that no attempt
Is being made to stop emigration OF
thousands of Canadians to the United
States. In the last 20 years this emil
grafton has been larger than the
natural growth of Canada's popula-
ton.
The farmers declare that they rec
ognize the folly "of bringing into tins
conutry, under the present economic
conditions, immigrants who from then
1ormer environment, training and edu-
cation can not, for many years to
come, equal the present farming popui-
lalon which is forced to emigrate.
The convention protested against
all immigration until the farmers
financial position is assured. Opposl-
ton to propaganda of special interests
was recorded, and a demand was made
that prospective immigrants be giver
reliable information about the present
situation.

Labor Law Smashed;
Injured Denied Pay

Olympia. Wash, Aug. 2b.-The su-
pfome court has wrought havoc among
dock workers Ia this state by iis rule
that they are outside the Washington
conversation law.
The decision will force the industrial
insurance fund TO stop payment on all
claims previously admitted and still
active. This includes time-loss pay
menls. medical and hospital bills, pay
ments on total permanent disabilities
that are now pensioners and the pay
ments to widows and dependents of
tho fatal cases.
In some OF these cases, extending
back more than three years. the
statutory limitation has run and
claimants or dependents have lost
their rights TO recover through the
courts.
The decision affects all classes Of
longshoro work, ship repairing and
mills that are located at tide water,
The latter either load or lighter lum-
bor as part of their operations.
