Age Pensions Is
Urged By Labor

Harrisburg, Pa.-The state fedora
ton of labor has circularized Penn
sylvania trade unionists in behalf OF
the old age assistance law, which has
been declared unconstitutional by the
state supreme court.
The court upheld a decision by the
Dauphin county court that old age
pensions is charity In their state.
ment to affiliates, officers of the state
federation of labor says:
"The judges who have declar-
ed that the old-age assistance law
is in violation of the constitution
Of our state, because the payment
of pensions to aged workers
would be charitable purpose, do
not consider it a charitable pur-
pose when they accept so per cent
of their salaries upon retirement,
after having been paid from $10,-
900 to $17,500 yearly To them it
is compensation for the hazard
for ong-continued public service.
During the two years the old
age assistance commission has
been organized, it has received
nearly 5000 applications from
persons over 70 years of age, who
are partially, or totally, depend
ent on charity for their exist
ence. The decision of the courts
robbed them of the meager assist
ance of $50 a month, which was
provided for in the law"

Getting After
The Scab Bakers

New York-Ward Baking Company
giant non-union bread and cake COM
pany, leads an unfair list put out by
the New York Bakers Council of the
Amalgamated Food Workers Union in
an appeal to the public to avoid non
label bakery products.
United Bakeries company, former
ly Shuts, makers of Certified Bread
and Gottfreed company, bakers OF
bread, cake, and fancy pastries, two
more companies on the list are both
part of the $6O0,OOO,OOO Continental
Bread aggregation, the rising trust
in the bakery industry.
General Baking company Bond
Bread), Cushman and Sons, Inc.
(Bambee Bread, Cake, etc.), Franco
American Bakery and the Howard
Bakery are other great machine bak-
ing concerns the public is warned
against because of their opposition to
organized labor.
"The great wholesale bread COM
panies now supply 70 per cent of the
bread consumed by the American
people," says Secretary-Treasurer
Burkhardt of the union. The way the
industry is consolidating and elimin-
ating the small producer is shown by
government statistics which tell of
20,173 plants in 1921, falling to 49,
739 in 1923, though the number of
workers rose from 148,500 to 162,615.
The problem before organized labor
is the problem of organizing the big
companies which are absorbing the
little concerns that dealt with the
unions. Labor generally, must refuse
to buy scab bread.

Friday, Mich. 18th
Was Surely Unlucky

New York-Friday, March thir-
teenth was an unlucky day for gang
of thirteen workmen who were in
volved in combination of thirteen.
This was revealed when three of them
were taken to hospital with injuries
from an accident which imperiled the
lives of all.
A 13-foot wall of 13-year-old
building they were razing collapsed on
them after 13 days on the job, but
all escaped with very slight injuries
except one who lives in Thirteenth
street, another who has a 13 in the
street number of his home, and third
who apparently had no excuse for his
Ill luck other than working on Fri
day the thirteenth.
The IL men were at work beside the
wall when suddenly it toppled on
them, apparently weakened by snow
and Ice as well as the demolition work
which had left it standing alone.

land monopoly and human exploita-
tion," said Senator Iglesias.
"Two-thirds of the profits from ag-
riculture, commerce and industry have
been sent out of Porto Rico as rents,
dividends, commissions and interest on
borrowed money. The wealth of the
island is flowing into the Golfers of a
few in the United States, Canada,
Spain and France. Porto Rico is be-
ing drained of its resources, while it's
working population is slowly starving.
To correct these wrongs, we are ask
ing that a congressional commission
investigate the island. Porto Rican
trade unionists are confident that if
this is done, congress will pass prop
er legislation.
"For years we have been opposed
by every power the land monopolizers
and exploiters could muster The lat
est proposal-to flood the southern
states with Porto Ricans to compete
with American labor-indicates how
closely the Porto Rican situation is
related to the material interests of
the American worker"

Is Billion in 1924

Cleevland-Electric railways gener-
ally throughout the United States
held their own during 1924.
J. N. Shannahan, president of the
American Electric Railway Associa-
ton, is authority for this statement.
"In the face of severe industrial de-
preston early in the year, which in
some communities decreased traffic
ten per cent, and an increase of $2,-
065, 500 pleasure automobiles, the rec
ord is remarkable" President Shan
nahan says.
"Final figures for the year indicate
total passengers carried will be with
in two per cent of the 16,000,000,000
total for 1923, which set an all time
record.
Perhaps the most encouraging fea-
ture of the electric railway business
today is the gradual but definite CO.
ordination of electric lines and Buses
Very gradually electric railway man.
agements throughout the country are
assuming control of all local transpor-
tation, including both rail and motor
lines. At the beginning of 1924, only
100 electric railway companies were
operating a total of 1000 buses in
conjunction with their rail lines, but
today there are $500 buses, owned by
ITO different electric railway COM
panies."
There was an increase of more than
5000 miles of service added by cleo
trio railway companies during the
year. A survey by the Electrical Rail-
way Journal indicates that $342, 2,000,-
900 will be spent in 1925 by electric
railways for new plant and equip
ment, maintenance, material and sup
plies.

trolls the job. | have no power what

"The Rockefeller plan carries no
assurance to the Colorado workers
that they will earn an adequate
wage" continues Mr.. Selekman. "Un-
der it the company undertakes simply
to accept the standards of its COM
petitors for determining it's own
wages. In practice this means, in
the company's coal mines, the accept
ance of the wage rates adopted period
ically bv the operators of the central
competitive coal field after negotia-
ton with the United Mine Workers of
America. The miners are keenly
aware that their wage standard is

Santiago Iglesias, senator in the
Porto Rican legislature and president
of the Free Federation of Working
men of Porto Rico, refers to the new
solution" in memorandum to Pres
ident Green of the A. F. of L. The
Porto Rican trade unionist states that
Secretary of War Weeks is opposed
to any investigation of the charges
by Porto Rican organized workers
that labor in the island is treated
shamefully; that the island is a VIC
tim of the most vicious brand OF alb
sentee landlordism, and that these ex-
ploiters practiced fraud and violence
at the last island elections.
"For the solution of the Porto Rlcan
problem" Senator Iglesias said, "Gen.

Store Burglarized

Harry Miller;s grocery, 20 North
Vine street, was robbed last Friday
night by thieves who literally helped
themselves to candy, cigars and cigar
cites; they also copped an extra fine
revolver and all the postage stamps
in sight. Entrance was gained by
jimmying a basement window and
forcing a trap door leading to the
storeroom. No clue was discovered,
but it is believed that the job was
pulled off by local talent.
