Every Work Day
Reduction Brings En-
ployers' Old Cry

Washington, June 22.-Every re-
duction in the work day mas caused
employers to cry out that industry
is being ruined, says the United
States women's bureau, ia "a study on
women's hours in industry.
The employers have talked Of the
proportionate cuiiailment Of output
which would bankrupt the industry
and in so doing would react TO the
injury of the worker himself.
There were economists in England
in the nineteenth century who went
even so far as to PROFOUND the theory
thai the profits Of all industry were
derived entirely from the last hours
work." the report states. While no
one attempts to argue from such ten
ants at present, there are still those
fortunately only a minonty-who
insist that industry can not stand the
introduction of the eight-hour day OF
five and-a-half-day week"
"Monotony of work has increased
with subdivision in industry and the
loss of craftsmanship. Its develop
ment has been more or less inevitable.
Scientific study has indicated that
what could be classed as light work
may become, where continuously re-
peated, more damaging physiologicaily
than heavier work which affords some
opportunity for variety.
THE noise Of machinery Is a con
slant accomplishment to the work OF
the factory day, and adds to its strain.
Constant noise definitely increases the
III. = .tt,r,ft,I Tins add. To
fatigue.
Speed, completely, monotony and
noise seem to be necessarily assoclat-
ell with our modern industrial lie.
Since these causes of strain are with
US to stay. the problem becomes one
of planning hour schedules and other
conditions of work 50 as to reduce the
amount Of fatigue and to allow more
time for renewing strength between
periods of work.
The worker is not merely a unit In
production-he is an individual in So
ciety, with a many-sded life to live.
The worker needs time not only for
rest and the replacing of the energy
used during the days work, but he
needs time for recreation and self
improvement as well.
"Home responsibilities also often
make heavy demands upon the work
er's time after hours. All these sides
of the hour problem must be consid-
cred by the person who aims to form
an unbiased and sound judgment on
the length of the working day best
suited to modern needs.
Even if home responsibilities are
not heavy, it is not desirable that un-
and monotonous work
should fill all the waking hours of an
individual. If a person is to develop
normally, to have sane and whole
some outlook on life, he should have
some opportunity for recreation as
well as for education and self-im-

what the trade union has done and
can do in promoting social welfare and
lifting the practices and customs Of
common life.
IN a very PRACTICAL and real sense
We who work as organizers for the
American trade union movement are
crusaders for a better organization Of
industry and for higher standards OF
social welfare. The hazards and
adventures We must overcome today
are essentially the same as those with
which pioneer labor officials had to
cope.
"Organizers of the past decades
could rely upon emotional appeals for
human justice. Because they were
successful to a very definite extent,
the organizers of today must be more
specific in their proposals and in their
presentation of the work and the
functions of the American trade union
movement"

TaX-Reducing Camps
Line Up For Contest

Washington, June 22.-This torrid
June weather has not abated the tax
reduction contest between two camps
that are headed by Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon and Senator Couzens.
The feeling has been intensified since
the former charged the Michigan law
maker with evading $l0,000,00O in
come taxes. This charge was made
when the senate investigating com.
mittee, headed by Senator Couzens,
struck pay dirt" in its probe, and
is now compiling evidence for presen-
tatlon TO the senate next winter 1t Is
claimed that the evidence will show
that the government has lost millions
of dollars through inefficiency.
Secretary Mellon insists that a re-
duction OF the tax on high incomes
is the first revenue change that con-
greSs should make.
Senator Couzens holds that the first
change should affect small taxpayers,
and that So-called nuisance taxes
should be abolished. He says all in
comes under $4,000 should be exempt,
as the cost of collecting is greater
than the amount received
Replying TO the well-known claim
that Everybody should contribute to
the support of the federal govern
ment," Senator CouzenS points out
that there are more than 30,000,000
wage earners who paw no income tax,
Large corporations are especially
interested in the Mellon plan, as a
SurtaN reduction will permit division
Of huge surpluSes in corporation treas
uIieS without being compelled to hand
over large proportion of these
profits to Uncle Sam, as the present
law provides.

Notorious Injunction Judge
Issues Writ Against
Union Cigar Makers
By International Labor News Service.

By International Labor News Service.
Chicago, June 22.-The union cigar
makers OF Chicago are combating 4
temporary restraining order lssued
by Denis T.. Sullivan, Chicago's most
notorious injunction judge. The order
was issued on application Of Raiph
h. Graham, assistant secretary oil
Wengler d Mandell, cigar manufae-
turers, and Is a drastic and sweeping
injunction against the officers and
members of Cigar Makers Local
Union No. 10.
The firm Of Wengler & Mandell was
the leading Chicago manufacturer Of
union-made cigars for more than 4V
years. The firm was always placed
before the public a. a shining eX-
ample of fairness and honest dealing.
Mr.. Mandell died about Two years ago,
however, and Matthew Wengler, sen
Tor member of the firm, sold his IN
terest six or seven months ago. The
business then fell into the hands oil
Eddie" Mandell, who became pfesl-
dent Of the firm, and Ralph L. Graham
The assistant secretary. Following
that trouble started.
Men Ordered From Factory
One day Eddie" Mandell called the
shop committe into the Office and SAID |:
81 am appointed a. a committee oil
one from the stockholders of the firm
of Wengler a. Mandell to inform you
that from today on they will cease TO
manufacture cigars in Chicago and
inform the men to have their tools out
OF the factory not later than Saturday,
May End, at II o'clock
Many men who had been employed
by the firm for 30 and 10 years were
thus summarily thrown into the street
on a moments notice, and the factory
was moved to the open shop city OF
Tampa, Fla.
The local union applied for strike
sanction, which was granted by the
Cigar Makers international Union.
Factory and Store Picketed
Pickets were stationed outside the
factory and members of the union
carried banners and passed out hand
bills in front of the cigar store at
Madison and Dearborn Streets, in the
heart Of the loop district, and which
is owned by Wengler q Mandell. The
injunction granted by Superior Judge
Sullivan followed.
The most popular brand Of cigars
manufactured by this firm and a
favorte among union men for many
years, is the Tom Palmer cigar. An
other brand is called Tropics.

Painters Poisoned
BY Spray Machine

Cleveland, June 22.-In a spirited
statement to the public, organized
painters defend their opposition to
paint-spraying machines. These work
ers are charged with opposing labor
saving machinery, and the claim Is
made that the machine does the Labor
Of four men.
The painters reply that when clean
work is demanded they can success
fully compete with these AIR guns"
The fact that our members use
this spraying machine in water colors
or other materials of a non-poisonous
nature is sufficient proof that we are
not attempting to block progress"
the painters say.
"In a study of the spray gun in
operation conducted by DR.. Sharpe OF
the University of Toronto, ii was
found that when the gun was in oper-
alton a mist could easily be seen 10
feet or more to the side of the oper-
ator. Plates exposed for half an hour
during the operation showed that lead
was deposited IL feet to the right OF
the OPERATOR and three feet behind
him. Shoes and clothing of the oper-
ator showed a fine coating of paint
and the edges of the nostrils were
coated with paint"
The numerous poiSons painter
works with can be taken into the sys-
tenn either by inhalation or absorption
and require very little TO cause serious
illness. Experiments have shown that
tn breathing of l-30th of a grain Of
lead per day is the limit which a nor
NAL person can inhale without symp-
toms of poisoning. Benzole is very
poisonous, it requiring a very small
amount to kill a man. Two to three
parts of benzole to 100000 parts of
air, bleathed- for few hours, is suf-
ficient to cause loss of consciousness.
The other poisons used in the trade
ale just as deadly. Turpentine causes
paralysis and disease of the heart and
kidneys. Lead affects eve ""rt OF
the body, causing in many instances,
complete paralysis and insanity.

AlchOl-Ether Fluid May
Replace Gasoline AS
Fuel For Motor Cars

New York City, June 22.-Chem-
lists are making motor fuel from mo-
lasses once thrown away by sugar
manufacturers. An alcohol-ether pro-
duct to replace gasoline has been de-
veoped to the stage of an infant In
dustry. Rapid strides toward ITS
sterilization have been made, it IS
said, though numerous problems re-
main unsolved.
present growth of the alcohol mo-
tor fuel industry indicates that It
will expand greatly in the near
future says L. c. Freeland, chemical
engineer, in "A summary of progress
in this field made public by the
American Chemical Society.
"ln the United States, where there
are greater supplies of refined petro-
leum than in any other part of the
world, the sale of fuel mixtures, con-
tanning alcohol, benzene, and ether
substances. has already been started
and probably large Quantities of these
mixtures will be used if the price OF
gasoline goes very much higher than
the present level"
Ether manufacture is assuming new
Importance, declares Mr.. Freeland.
"To obvate difficulties in the use OF
dentured alcohol as a motor fuel and
to produce a fuel with greater COM
mercial possibilities" he points out,
Substances have been added to IN
crease the volatility, vapor pressure,
and explosive mge of the mixture,
thereby enabling existing engines to
be used with only slight notifications.
Gasoline, benzene, acetone, ether,
etc, have been very successfully used,
The use of ether in alcohol motor
spirit mixtures has expanded, not only
on account of its favorable physical
and chemical properties, but also be
cause it can be easily and cheapy
produced from alcohol"
The raw material for alcohol manu-
facture, the summary stated, is annu-
ally reproduced by nature in nearly
every country; hence there is an mex
haustible supply capable Of great eX-
pansion without encroachment on food
supplies.
The daily yield of molaSses on
sugar plantation is comparatively
large, factory crushing 1000 tons Of
cane per day producing 5000 to 5000
gallons of molasseS. Formerly this
molasses was used as a cattle food,
and sometimes firms have been paid to
take il away from the factories.

SCHOOL BOARD
MAY give Site
Aid Proposed for Printing
Classes.

Possibility that the Indianapolis
school board may offer a site to the
United Typothetae of America for its
school Of printing on the grounds
of Arsenal Technical High School
was indicated today by William II.
Book, business director.
The matter will be presented to
the board Tuesday night. Book said.
He said about 115 Technical High
School students are taking work in
printing in the Typothetae school.
The school now occupies part of
the Arsenal Bldg. but needs more
room and may leave the city.
While the board could aid but
little toward erecting a building, ii
might grant a site with the provision
that only the school proper be
located on the Tech grounds. Busi
ness offices Of the Typothetae would
have to be located elsewhere, it is
thought.
Carl Gibbs, chairman Chamber of
Commerce manufacturers commit
tee, saiG committee from the Cham
ber probably will bees Thursday or
Friday to consider means for assist
ing in the selection of a new site for
the school.

WASHINGTON. May 25.--Publi-
cation Of income tax returns by
newspapers was upheld as legal by
the United States Supreme Court to-
day.
Newspapers can publish lists of
names of tax payers and the amount
OF tax paid. the court held.
The final decision was rendered on
the publicity clause of the 1924
revenue act which permitted pub
licity of the returns but failed to
specify whether or not they might
be published by periodicals.
In it's decision quashed the indict-
ment returned against the Baltimore
Post, a Scripps-HOward newspaper,
and Walter S. Dickey and Ralph
Ellis. owner and editor. respectively
of the Kansas City Journal-Post.
The decision affirmed the verdict
of the lower court.
Justice Sutherland read the de-
cision.
The income tax law made "a list
of the taxpayers and the amount of
tax paid" open to inspection, but
an old clause forbidding the publica.
ton Of any part Of income tax re-
turns" was left in the statute. The
internal revenue bureau issued or
ders that newspapers were not to be
allowed to publish the lists and
these two newspapers and many
others We're indicted at once under
the revenue act.
In the decision Justice Sutherland
stated:
This information cannot be re-
garded otherwise than as public
property under the congressional en-
actment."
Senator James A. Reed. Missouri,
arguing the case for the Kansas
City paper and Newton ID. Baker,

tional question lof freedom of the
