quarrelling little unions only divide
the workers and prevent a united

TRADE UNIONS
OF CHINA FORM
BIG FEDERATION

SHANGHAI, China, March 3
After long preliminary work, which
was very difficult owing to the lack of
cooperation between the various un,
IONS. a National Federation of Trade
Unions has been founded in China.
The new federation comprises 76 or.
CARNATIONS, with total membership
of nearly. 100000.
The speeches at the opening cere.
monies show that the federation has
a working class basis, its chief tasks
being declared to the fight against
capitalism, against the militarists OF
Northern China, and against the for.
eign inlperialistic powers.
The meeting declared strongly in
favor Of Sun Vat Sen, who is very
popular in labor circles, and a champ
ion of the above program. 1t may be
assumed that the defeat Of Wu-Pei.
Flu in Northern China will make its
influence felt in Southern China.
When the fight between the military
dynasties is over, the class conflict
will begin.

OMAHA, Neb., March 3.-Altho the

the chamber of commerce continues

Some Of these gentlemen seem to

The crux of the situation lies in the
fact that the general economic de-

In Omaha there is undoubtedly as

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Unity be-

Rivalry between these two main d.

mittedly limited solidarity.
Strikers of both organizations, how.

Report Shows Low
Pay Makes School
Janitors Careless

NEW YORK, March New York
public schools "are dirty because they
are not properly cleaned. Help is in
sufficient because of low remuneration
due to the uncontrolled contract sys-
tenn" Thus reports the Teachers
Union auxiliary and recommends a
plan for correcting these abuses to the
board of education.
Children's and teachers toilets are
reported unclean and foul-smelling
even to the extent of spreading an
odor thru halls and class rooms in
some cases. Plumbing is frequently
old-fashioned and in no case is quickly
enough repaired. Windows are seldom
cleaned despite well-made rules.
Corners of rooms, stairs, banisters,
desks, etc, show dust accumulations.
But since most of the schools are
cleaned by helpers employed under
a contract system in which the Gus
todian of each school employs his as
sistants for as little as he can in or
der to have the most possible for him
self out of the lump allotment given
him for the work, the investigators
conclude that little more can be ex-
pected. Even mentally deficient work
ers are reported from certain schools
because no others can be gotten for
the meager wage.
Men janitors average sS2S5 per
month for nearly ~ hours work per
day Women workers get $61.66 aver
age per month for an average 8, to 10
hours per day. Custodians oppose
unionization of workers under them

ers' association for themselves.

CHICAGO.-Hutcheson's expulsion
policy is not running as smoothly as
he thought it would. Los Angeles,

the centers he has concentrated upon
and he has run into snag in all of
them. For the first time, his arbit-

czaristic rule is being met by the
resentment of the rank and file and
a well-defined, ideologically organized
