BETTER ILLUMINATION
PREVENTS EYE STRAIN
By international Labor News Service

NEW YORK CITY, April 16.-In-
difference to lighting and failure to
recognize conditions which are harm
full to the eye are in a'large measure
responsible for eye troubles.
Poor illumination in home, school
and workshop has multiplied the evils
of defective vision SO rapidly that
well tested measures to combat them
must be taken in home and school
by the householders and teachers Of
the nation, according to the Eyesight
Conservation Council of America.
Simple rules do not appear to be
effective, it is declared, though the
lighting problems of the home are
not difficult to solve, and sound plans
for every room are readily available.

The ground occupied by this build
ing originally cost the Carpenters
District Council $4,000, or 81 900 a
front foot. The lot was recently ap-
praised at $4,000. The total cost of
the ground and building will be $780,
900 in round figures.
When the carpenters move into
their new home they can feel that
they actually own the property, as
it win be fully paid for with the ex-
ception of a probable outstanding
debt of from $4,000 to 10000. Each
of the $1,000 union carpenters in the
Chicago district assessed himself $40
for the building fund.
The building will have three stor-
les and basement and an auditorium
with seating capacity of 600. A
part Of the space on the ground floor
viii be rented for business purposes.
There also has been seane talk Of
the carpenters opening a labor bank
in their new building, but any plans
looking to this end are only of ten
tative character at this time.

Columbus. 1t is called an American
Plan City by employers who are hos
tile toward trade unions.
Briefly, the employers Of that city
have practically a 100 per cent or
ganization. The merchants, the
banks, the newspapers, are all mem
bers of this same organization. They
did not want to have those frightful
conditions develop in their city which
follow where organized wage earn
ers receive higher wages than the
unorganized, and therefore spend so
much more money over the mer-
chants counters in the town. Their
plan was to have a card index of
every male and female employe, with
their wage rate, type, of worker, and
many other personal items. The erA-
plOyers have 2 secretary7in that city,
and as soon as an employer puts on q
new hand, his record is sent to the
central Office.
Under this benefcient system, in
which the wage earners are being
protected from this awful condition

SEAMEN CELEBRATE
40TH ANNIVERSARY


SAN FRANCISCO, April 1e.-on
a lumber pile in Folsom street, 40
years ago, 3 handful Of workers or
ganized the Sailors union Of the Pa
cihe.
This union has Just celebrated its
fortieth birthday in magnificent Mari
time hall, which It erected in Clay
street.
Among the speakers at the anni-
versary celebration was James H.
Barry, San Francisco pioneer and first
citizen, who is as staunch for the
right today as when he urged the lit
tie crowd on the Folsom street lum-
ber pile to stand together.
Only seamen can appreciate the
changed conditions that this union
wrought. The list includes:
Higher wages.
Shorter workday.
Better food.
Larger forecastles.
Respectful treatment.
Right to quit vessels in port.
Abolition of allotment and advance.
Freedom from attachment Of wages
and clothing.
Abolition of crimping system
<boarding house labor agents).
Abolition of "buckoism."
Establishment of independence and
self-respect.
Elevation of seamen's status in law
and public opinion to place of equal
ity with that of land workers.
In a message from Washington,
read at the anniversary meeting, An
drew Furuseth, president of the In
ternational Seamen's union, and one
of the founders of the Pacific branch,
urged these unionists to have faith in
themselves.
When our enemies scoffed and
sneered, we gritted our teeth and or
ganized," President Furuseth said.
-"Two or three union men going on
board Of vessel and bringing back
whole union crew. We did those
things in '87 and '8S. We did them
again in '94, '95 and '96 when our
status under the law was by no means
as good as it is now. When man
could De compelled to work 0lha Sase
sci against his will, when he could fbe
and was pursued even through the
forest, captured and brought back to
work against his will; we could do it
then-we certainly can do it now.
II have the same faith that had
before, with the addition that comes
from better legal status.
'Let US go from this Pentecostal
meeting fully determined that we will
never cease in our efforts to bring
back those who are travelling in the
wilderness, and who are worthy of
our comradeship, and to. bring into
our fold all those who are willing to
share in the struggle for the sake of
the ideals which we can hold aloft, as
no other organization can.
"As compared with what the con-
dition was in the beginning of '87,
compared to what it was in '94 and
'95, our present position is full of
promise and full of hope. We shall
not need the stupendous amount of
effort that was put forth then to be-
come victorious now.
There is not one of you but knows
that this can be done. All that it
needs is faith in ourselves and faith
in our shipmates-faith in our fellow
seamen to translate that faith into
will and to joint effort.
"Thus you win win, because it is
written: Where two or three are
together in my name (freedom) there
will be among them

Asks for Investigation

Mr.. Bittner said he was not sur
prised at tho reports being made by
non-union operators inasmuch as it
was imperative on them to bolster up
their cause by propaganda belittling
the effect of the strike. He issued an
invitation to the non-union operators
to appoint a representative of the
Northern West Virginia Coal Oper-
ators' Association, representatives
from the two Fairmont newspapers,
the labor commissioner of West Vir-
Southwest Washington labor press. [volume] (Hoquiam, Wash.) 19??-19??, 1925-04-17

Owing to the fact that April l was
a miners holiday-the universal cele-
bration of the requirement of the
eight-hour day--the actual effect of
the strike could not be estimated for
few days. A survey of the situa-
tion by organizers of the United Mine
Workers Indicate that the great ma
jority of the men are out.
Several of the leading non-union
operators, however, declare that the
strike has made no appreciable diff
ference in their coal output, owing to
the fact that they have succeeded in
getting men to take the place of the
striking non-unionists. However, coal
production figures from the northern
field belle the claims of the operators.
Union Is Satisfied
In statement issued by Mr.. Bitt-
ner he declared the union was well
satisfied with the situation. "The
number of men coming out was be-
yond our expectations" he said. He
pointed out that the loadings at the
mines of the New England Fuel &
Transportation Company had been
sharply reduced; whereas the average
loading is 30 cars day, only 13 were
loaded the second day of the strike.
The Dakota mine at Barrackville
loaded only IL cars with all the force
the mine could muster. 1t has a pro-
duction of so cars day. The Anna
May mine and the Fort Grand mine
are closed down. The Brady mine
loaded three cars, while virtually
every mine in the Scott Run district
is closed down, Mr.. Bittner said. The
Rosedale mine which has been oper-
atihg non-union since 1922, was clos
ed down. The Usage mine Of the
Brady Warner Company, the Hunt
mine. Harmar mine, Chaplin and
New Shaft and the Continental mines
are all closed down, the survey shows.
In the Clarksburg field where the
union has had much difficulty in MAX
ing inroads on non-union workings
the men have responded unusually
strong, Van Bittner said. At the
Lewis mine which has been operating
non-union since 1922 there was 100
per cent strike. Mines in the Mont
Clare field have closed as are the Wolf
Summit and Kelley mines. The
mines of the Dawson company which
recently repudiated it's contract with
the union is completely closed, Mr..
Bittner said.
