Labor Blocks
Laws Dilution

Washington Organized labor's

the new compulsory school attendance

gress.
Under this act work permits issued
to. children under 16 years of age, and
who had not completed the eighth
grade of elementary school, were au-
tomatically invalidated.
The law intends that these children
shall attend school, but the superin-
tendent of schools of the District of
Columbia suggested that these chill
dren remain at their employment, and
that the law be complied with by COM
pelling them to take an intensive
course of night schooling.
At meeting of citizens called to
discuss the question, the first objectol
to the proposal was Edgar Wallace

F. of L.

Western Railway
Should Explain

Westinghouse joint committee of
demand that the Northern Pacific
railroad explain why it has failed to
recompense the government for mil
lions of acres of land it has wrong
fully secured.
The controversy dates back to the
time when railroads secured huge
tracts of land in the undeveloped west
to aid in railroad construction. The
Northern Pacific received more than
$136,000,000 for portions of this land
while the construction of the road cost
only $70,000,000
1t is claimed that the road failed to
build 1900 miles of it's line within the
stipulated time, thereby forfeiting the
granted lands. 1t is charged by the
government that at least 100000
acres of forest land are involved. 1t
is also claimed that the road was
granted lands enormously listed as
mineral, and other lands which were
not good, and that the railroad ex-
changed these and was permitted to
pick out thousands of acres of the best
lands in Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota,
and Washington. The road, it is
stated, was given 100000 acres of
land in the state of Washington it was
not entitled to, and that 100000 acres
conflict with another grant.
In another case, it is claimed, the
road was given 640,000 acres at one
time and 100000 at another time. In
both of these cases the transfer was
illegal.

Contract Signed With the Gar

New York City-Through one
of the most unique strikes in
history, 10000 union girls com
PEELED jobbers in the dress-mak-
ing trade to live up to a contract
they signed with the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
union.
The agreement was made last
month, and provides that specified
price be placed upon every piece OF
work given out. This places each
manufacturer upon the same labor
cost basis and eliminates haggling
over piecework prices.
"The agreement would stabilize lab
or costs and end the curse of hag-
Cling over piecework," said Interna-
tional President Sigman. The jobbers
accepted the agreement for a few
weeks and then began ignoring the
pledge. With the industry again
threatened with turmoil, the strike
was called.
The response to the strike call was
unanimous. The workers reported at
the shops, waiting for the employers
to agree to the contract. The usual
injunctions and police intimidations
could not be resorted to by the en-
ployers as they did not dare to make
public their position. With a 100 per
cent solidarity of workers, and Eas-
ter trade slipping from their grasp
the jobbers surrendered and the
agreement is again in force.

ing trade unionism to their free and

Strikers were evicted from these

bers in local union No. 404 there have

The largest percentage of these
Mexicans are employed by the South
ern Pacific railroad, the street car
company, the gas company and three
industrial corporations. Wages range
from 1925 to 1925 for an eight hour
day.
The trade union committee made
this reference to living conditions:
"The municipal building and state
housing ordinances, in almost every
instance, are treated as a joke. There
are many families living in shacks 10
or IL feet square, built of rough lum-
ber, in some cases merely with joists
and rafters covered with secondhand
corrugated iron. In these shacks live
families Of four and five members, in
some cases sleeping on the floor, while
bed space is rented to boarder. Of
course, no plumbing is provided in
these shacks and the neighborhood
plumbing is almost worse than use
less. Rents, even for such quarters,
are out of proportion to the earnings
of the tenants"
The shacks are declared to be Gun
fit for human habitation and barrier
to the progress of life and character
of those living in them.
The unionists' report includes a
synopsis of views by County Health
Officer Pomeroy, who has publicly de-
clared that "there can be no final set
tlement of the Mexican housing prob
lem without a settlement of the un-
employment problem"
Business men," DR.. Pomeroy
said, "are all crying for cheap
labor, and this labor is brought
in from Mexico. When it is once
here the employing groups do not
know how to use it. The agricul-
turists, in particular, have no
program.
"This labor migrates to the I'm
perial valley and Bakersfield and then
back. 1t drifts from handling the
walnuts and oranges in the San Fer
nando valley to the Compton beet in
dustry. And between these seasonal
employments it is drawn back to cer-

Governor Smith transmitted the
findings to the legislature, which
has now before it amendments to
the constitution which would per-
nit the state and counties to ad-.
vance funds for the construction
of dwellings.
The housing commission stated that
$4,000 new apartments have become
available in New York City the past
II months, but this renting space is
made up largely of suites ranging
from a monthly rental of SIS up per
room. These apartments are beyond
the means of most wage earners, the
class suffering most intensely from
the stringency that exists.
"Houses wholly financed at 6
per cent can be built on land cost
ing 500 per front foot to rent at
about SO room per month";" the
commission said.
eff tax exemption were grant
ed on the building, and money
made available at 6 per cent, it
would be possible to reduce this
rent to $3.50 room per month, if
all savings were conserved to the
tenant.
The commission has reached the
conclusion that approximately Sd per
cent of each months rent goes for
investment charges, 16 per cent for
amortization of mortgages, 10 per
cent for taxes, and 10 per cent for
maintenance.
The report quotes Tenement House
Commissioner Frank Mann of New
York city as saying:
"For the average wage Garner
the supply of low and moderate
rental apartments has not as yet
been met. To my mind the future
holds no promise for any relief
in this respect"
