TRADE UNION MOVEMENT
IS BETTER UNDERSTOOD

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Jan. 15.-
General understanding and apprecia-
ton of the trade union movement
are growing as the necessity for such
progress is borne in upon an increas-
ing number of minds, says a state
ment issued from the office of James
M. Lynch, president of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union.
In Washington, D. c., physicians
and surgeons have formed a society
adhering closely to the trade union
idea. The Washington doctors do
not attempt to disguise the fact that
the prime aim of their society is
economic.
In Japan, where western ideas of
social organization are still compar-
atively new. fifteen new labor unions
of national scoops were organized in
the first five months of this year. The
Japs have been quick to perceive the
unionism is not merely an ideal or
working policy but an absolute
necessity in modern society.

The light is interrupted every fiftieth

Eye movements are shown on q
film as a series of dots, each represt-
ing one-fifteith of a second.
"By means of this ingenious and
highly technical device, it is possible
to state some of the serious causes

Congressional laws is to utter a pal
pable and fragrant untruth.
A National Problem
"Child labor regulation is not mere
ly local question:" says DIR. Ryan,
cit is a national matter because it
cannot be performed by one state
without affecting the people of many
states. When the products of child
labor are shipped out of the state
in which they are made, they neces-
sarily interfere with the welfare of
other communities. Anyone who as
serts that the Amendment is Socialis-
tic in origin and design is giving ut
terance to a lie."
Federal Labor Supervision Simple
Discussing the limit Of Federal ca
pacity to administer, DIR. Ryan says:
"Much depends upon the nature of
the law, the particular type of adj
ministration and the attitude of local
public opinion" Admitting the fail
ure of the Federal administration of
the Volstead Act, DR.. Ryan says:
with regard to a federal labor law
the problem is comparatively simple.
In this field we have the guidance Of
experience. The two Federal Child
Labor Laws had been in operation
several years before they were de-
clared unconstitutional. Everywhere
the State officials cooperated with the
Federal agents in the enforcement of
the Congressional statute. Federal
machinery was put in operation only
in so far as State machinery was
lacking, or to test the effectiveness
Of State machinery; and the cost of
Federal administration was not ex-
cessive with equally effective State
administration"

VALUE OF PRODUCTS
VS.. COST OF WAGES
By International Labor News serrice

BY international Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 49,
Some indication of the value of the
participation of labor in manufactur-
ing is shown by study of data just
collected by the U. S. Census Bureau
which deals with costs and value of
product in some principal lines of in
dustry.
For each one dollar that the manu-
facturer of paints pays in wages, he
obtains product that has a value at
the factory shipping platform of
1920. The product of the furniture
manufacturer brings him $3.50 for
each one dollar expended for labor.
The difference between the dollar paid
for wages and the factory value of
the product explains the relative i'm
portance of other items of production
cost like overhead, sales expense, in
terest and depreciation.
The study of the Census Bureaus
data thus indicates the relative i'm
portance of labor cost as compared
with other costs. In furniture manu-
featuring, it will be seen that the
labor cost is higher in proportion to
other costs than it is in the making
of paints.
The influence of mass production in
reducing the Importance of labor is
seen in the data for automobile manu-
featuring. In that line the product
sells for $7.7O for each one dollar
spent on the payroll.

RYAN CALLS OPPOSITION UN-
DEMOCRATIC, REFUTES STAND

Insisting that the opposition to the
passage of the twentieth amendment
is largely undemocratic and due to
misrepresentation, DIR. John A. Ryan,
noted author, has issued refutation
of the seven objections to the Child
Labor Amendment. His statement,
entitled "The Proposed Amendment"
is published by the National Child
Labor Committee.
These who are endeavoring to de-
feat the proposed Amendment" DIR.
Ryan says, "are seeking tyrannical
and undemocratic use of the power
which the states possess over Consti-
tutional Amendments. They should
wait until child labor bill is actually
before Congress and strive to defeat
it in that open forum. In striving to
foreclose legislative discussion of
Federal regulations, they justly in
cur the imputation of being opposed
to the principal of majority rule in
matter of legislative expediency."
Family Control Unaffected
at is gross perversion of fact"
DIR. Ryan states, Ito assert that the
proposed amendment would enable
Congress to take the control of child
rem out of the home. Family control
and authority would remain essential
ly what they are at present" DIR.
Ryan denounced as astonishing in
its recklessness" the assertion which
appeared in a widely read Weekly
that Congress would be empowered to
require children to be raised in Fed
eral institutions. He cited the fact
that no state had attempted to reg
ulate education under its child labor
laws as proof that Congress could
not possibly control education under
the twentieth Amendment. To assert
that Congress could specify the kind
of schools and other institutions in
which the child must obtain the re-
quired amount of training, it to talk
nonsense. Congress would be even
less able to do this than the states"
Challenging those who fear that
Congress would attempt to pervert a
child labor law so as to usurp par
entail rights and any other fundamen-
tai rights Of the citizen, DR.. Ryan
asked them to show a single Federal
law enacted in time of peace which
violated and endangered such rights.
The statement of the general coun-
sci of the National Association of
Manufacturers that "the proposed
Amendment gives Congress exclusive
power over child labor" he character
lied as "an amazing assertion" in di-
rect contradiction of the language of
the amendment. "In the future as
in the past, the pioneers among the
States viii have full liberty to blaze
new trails in the field Of child pro-
lection. This has been the way of
all progress. To assert that the
Amendment would have the effect of
taking away the power to better the
