A WORKERS ART EXHIBITION

nm unusual experiment is repre-
n scented. in the art exhibition just
opened by Painters Local Union No.
1874 of Chicago. 1t promises to be sue
cessful indeed. The exhibitors are all
plain workers, members Of the local
union men--whose skill has become
art. This exhibition compares favor
ably with any other to which the name
art is being attached, even those which
enjoy the backing Of the well-to-do
benefactors who exploit such events
to prove their own philanthropy and
incidentally satisfy their highly cult
waited desires for luxury. Such affairs
are generally limited to the exclusive
SETTLE "better class" In society and
what is lacking in art is made up thru
generous and high priced commend
able advertisement in the press.
That the workers produce every.
thing worth while in present day so
citey is being wildly demonstrated by
this exhibition by Local 1914. A fact
that received. as little recognition as

Many Amendments to
Moses Postal Pay
Bill Up in Senate
Especial 70 The Daily Worker,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2S-The
Moses bill increasing the pay Of post
office employees, and increasing postal
rates on parcel post and other classes
of mail, was further amended when
the senate by a vote OF 81 to 20 voted
to retain the present postal rate on
religious publications.
Further amendments were to be in
troduced today cutting the rates pro.
posed by the Moses bill to be charged
to newspapers and magazines. Sens.
tor George introduced such an amend.
ment, in spite Of the fact that Cool.
idge has declared he will veto the bill
increasing the wages OF postal en-.
ployes, unless that part OF the Mosef
bill increasing postal rates is also
passed by the senate.
It seems certain that Coolidge will
again prevent the postal workers from
securing rise in their exceedingly
small wages.

EXPERTS ADVISE
SCHOOL BOARD ON
CUTTING WAGES
Finance Committee Acts
on Recommendation

The finance committee of the board
of education heard a recommendation
by the Griffenhagen Accountants com.
pany for the adjustment OF wages of
board of education employees for the
1926 budget.
The recommendation showed how
nearly 100000 could be saved by
eliminating jobs and that $4,000 could
be saved in reducing the staff Of
senior clerks. One senior clerk could
direct large number Of junior clerks
(unskilled labor. They estimated
that the board could in this way drop
S9S civil service employees from the
school board.
Wherever the Griffenhagen Ac-
countants walk in it consistently fol-
lows that hundreds Of employees get a
blue slip in their envelopes. They are
called efficiency engineers. Their job
is to teach bosses how to reduce the
cost Of management. Their game is
showing how to get more work out
of unskilled labor by reducing the
process Of production into small move
ments mechanically performed under
the supervision of driving and direct
ing force. They name this little game
'reclassifying of employees" They
claim to safeguard the firm against
the creation Of positions for the pur-
pose of raising salaries Of favorites.
What they do is eliminate higher paid
employees, introduce team work and
reduce wages.
The recommendation submitted to
the finance committee was that two
committees be appointed, one for
the teaching positions and one for tAe
|non-teaching positions.
The finance committee took action
upon the recommendation by appoint
ment Of classification officer to work
with the committee for the instalment
of the system beginning with the 1925
budget.
Mrs. Lillian Hefferan. one Of the
trustees of the board and member
Of the finance committee, said that
this recommendation would not affect
the teachers as the superintendent
had full control Of their positions, but
committee for the teaching stan will
be appointed to sit in on this COM
mittee with view to suggestions.

LOvEJOY MAKES
weak ANTI-CKILD
LABOR SPEECH
And Compliments Ill.
Manufacturers

Owen r. Lovejoy, one time socialist
list and now secretary of the national
child labor committee, made an apol'
ogy for the proposed child labor am.
endment which is soon to be taken
up for ratification by the Illinois leg
islature, at luncheon given yester.
day by the city club of Chicago.
Lovejoy did not make a direct at
tack on the manufacturers Of Illinois,
who admit that they are employing
thousands of children. He assumed
in his speech that the Illinois child
labor laws are adequate. Lovejoy
pleaded for ratification OF the amend
ment not on the ground that child la
Dor should be abolished, but that the
proposed child labor amendment is so
mild it will not harm the manufacture
ers.
Many business men and manufac.
turers in the audience have been &C.
lively fighting against abolition o.
child labor in Illinois, and yet Love
/ joy assured them that he did not wish
Ito go against their interests. Love
10y assumed that the manufacturers
are against child labor, and claimed
that mo profit can be made by the
manufacturers from child labor"
The states which have rejected rati-
flcation of the federal child labor am
endment are also opposed to state
child labor laws, Lovejoy said, and
states rights" does not enter into the
problem. He said that in Massachu-
sets the referendum defeated the
child labor amendment because all
sorts of lies were spread about what
the amendment would mean. Rumors
were spread, he declared, that even
bed-making would be prohibited chill
dren under Is years Of age If the am
endment were to pass.
But Lovejoy failed to point out that
it was the textile mill owners who
spread the propaganda which defeated
the amendment in Massachusetts, and
lit was because they were afraid Of
losing their cheap labor supply that
they opposed child labor Lovejoy
did not bring out the fact that child
labor is natural and inevitable &C
compartment Of the profit system, and
that as long as the industries are run
for profit, adult and child labor will
be exploited by the employers.
Lovejoy apologized for Victor Berg
er's vote in congress for the child Ia
Dor amendment, and told the manu-
facturers and business men present
that congress is safe" enough to be
trusted, and will not go too far"
Loveioy said that "all the child la
Dor committee wishes to do is to pro
hibit factory work for children under
IA years Of age, and the limiting Of
the work of those 16 to IS years OF
age to eight hours per day."
