Question of Wage
Means Human Life

Chicago, Oct. 5.-"The question of
wages is the question of human life"
said John Fitzpatrick, president of the
Chicago federation of labor, speaking
before the convention of the CONNER
cial Telegrpahers' union
The trade unionist quoted govern
ment statistics to prove that high
wages mean longer life, and that or
ganized labor is justified in putting
every ounce of energy it possesses to
secure higher wages.
The United States government it
self tells u.s." said Mr.. Fitzpatrick,
that if you take group of wage
workers, say 1000 families, and 1000
babies are born into the 1000 families,
and the wages of the 1000 families
are 81, 500 year, $50 of these babies
die.
IF you take another 1000 families
and another 1000 babies are born, and
the wages are $4,000, how many
babies in the second thousand do you
suppose die? Sixty-four.
Does that mean anything to US
Does ii mean anything that we should
put into this struggle all that is in us
so that our own flesh and blood may
be saved to us? That is the problem
That is what is in this movement OF
organized labor. 1t is the question as
to whether men and women Will fight
for their offspring, whether they will
give them a chance to live.
when we come to the eight-houl
day, We find that if man works eight
hours day his average life is in
creased to Al and az years. Statistics
of the United States and England
prove these figures.
Does it mean anything in the home
that the breadwinnner be saved to his
family, to his wife and the children
for period of seven years and during
that period of childhood when they
should have the providing and pro
tecting arm of the parent? Does il
mean anything that the father b,
saved to his family for a period of II
years ?"

Bermuda FavOrs Street
Cars, But Bars Buses

Hamilton, Bermuda.-"No motor
cars, no railways, no street cars, no
smoke and soot," for long time has
been the slogan of Bermuda in cater
ing to tourists.
However, during the next two
months the street car part of the slo-
gan may be eliminated, for permission
to build an electric railway from one
end of the island to the other has been
granted Robert W. Cummins of Pitts
burgh.
Recently there has been agitation in
favor of motor buses and some have
advocated the general use of automo-
biles, but the general opinion seems to
be that only electric railways will be
permitted by the government as being
consistent with the islands policy of
cleanliness and quiet.

A. f. of L. Officials Greet
German Union Leaders
Here to Study Labor

By International Labor News Service.
Brooklyn, N. Y, Oct. 5-The largest
delegation of labor leaders from any
European country to reach TINS eouh-
try was welcomed by representatives
Of the American Federation OF LABOR
when ID German trade union officials
were greeted at the Brooklyn dock OF
the North German Lloyd a. the liner
Columbus was made fast. They m
clude members of the Reichstag ana
the heads of the big German indus
trial unions representing nearly bVOV'-
600 men and women. They are mere
to study the American labor move
ment, economic conditions and the
furtherance of fraternal relations be-
tween the workers Of both nations.
Some will attend sessions OF the In
terparliamentary Union, others VIII De
present at the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in Atlantic
City, and some will go directly to the
headquarters of the particular unions
here they are interested in studying.
They were welcomed by Hugh Frayne,
general organizer of the A. r. of L.;
John =. Coughlin and John Sullivan,
Central Trades and Labor Council, and
delegation of local union officials.
1t was learned that owing 10 the
still impoverished conditions of the
German labor organizations the dele
gates were allowed but $500 for their
expenses including transportation.
This hardly takes into account the cost
of travel in this country which the
German delegates must meet If they
are to cover much ground.
Among the officials in the party are
President Brockeft, Beverage Work
ers' Union; President Munter, Munich
pal and State Employees; President
Flettel, Clothing Workers Federation;
Secretary Kurt Heinig of the Master
Mechanics Federation, DIR. Benno
Meier, director German Labor Bank;

ians' Federation; DR.. George Berger,

ters' Union; Oswald Schurman, Ger

Oil Case Appealed

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 5.-The govern
ment has filed an appeal n the federal
circuit court against Judge Kennedy's
decision in the Teapot Dome lease.
The government claims that Judge
Kennedy erred in refusing it time to
secure witnesses; that the court erred
in ruling that the validity of President
Harding's order transferring the con-
troll of the oil lands to Secretary of
the Interior Fall was immaterial. The
government claims that the lease was
not possible without that order.
Exception is also made to Judge
kennedy's claim that the agreement
between Fall and Sinclair was not at
tended by undue and unlawful secrecy.

Northwestern to Train
Workers for Utilities

Evanston, Ill.-The rigid growth of
public utilities has brought such a de-
mand for trained workers that the
Northwestern University School of
Commerce has established a full cur
riculum in Public Utilities, according

h. Heilman, Dean of the School.
The courses are designed to cover
the various phases of public utility
economics, government regulation and
control, and problems of operation and
management-both from the stand
point of public policy and private man
agement-Dean Heilman states. In
struction includes both undergradu-
ates and pOst-graduat courses.

Leather Workers Win

Chicago, Oct. 5.-When the Leather
Workers union asked the Universal
Leather Goods company to grant Al
hour week and higher wages, the man
agement was aStonished. Everything
would happen to these workers, ac-
,cording to the boss.
The employees suspended work, and
after half days idleness the manage
ment became less hostile. A union
shop agreement was signed and this
concern is now on the same competi-
tive basis as its rivals.

Judge Rejects Party Label

New York, Oct. 5.-Supreme Court
Justice Benedict has notified Republi-
can leaders that he will decline re-
nomination under orty label. He
takes this position on the ground that
the judiciary should be above party
platforms and conventions. While
other jurists have declared for a non
partisan judiciary it is believed that
Judge Benedict is the first to adhere
to that principle.
