PLENTY Of WORK
At HOME FOR
LABOR
Thousands Will Be EN-.
ployed on New Highway
From Lare do.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Coon.
struction of the 9oO-mile highway from
Laredo to the City of Mexico, which
will begin in the immediate future,
has solved Mexico's labor problem and
heralds new industrial understand
ing between that country and the
United States, in the opinion of Louis
n. Morones, Mexican minister of in
dustry who. with committee OF
American and Mexican labor leaders,
has been drafting a report on indus
trial problems.
At the same time Mr.. Morones an
nounced that the Mexican government
is now ready 10 cooperate 10 the full
est extent in the enforcement OF the
immigration regulations.
STOPS IMMIGRATION.
The effect Of this, as seen by the
Americans at the conference, will be
an almost complete stop of the flow
of Mexicans and other foreigners
across the Mexican border into this
country.
With the Mexican government plan
ming an expenditure of at least S5O,-
100000 in highway construction alone
as a part of its public works pro-
gram, Mr.. Morones said, his country
will need all of the available labor.
In connection with his announce
ment Of the plans OF the Mexican gov
eminent as regards immigration, Mr..
Morones branded as false report that
he and President Gales are planning
10 establish n communistic govern
ment. Communists are few, he said,
and are outlawed from the Mexican
federation of labor.
RESULTS WITHHELD.
Although the results Of the confer
ence are being withheld until its com
pletion. it is generally concluded that
the legislative suggestions that will
be made to the American and Mexican
governments will propose an inter
federation plan for the curbing of the
movement of Mexican laborers 10 this
country.

HAVE POLICE RECORDS.

Learning that a reward of 500 was
Offered, officers said, he called police
and advised Detective Captain Sam
Street that be suspected the two boys
now under arrest.
Both of the boys are said to have
former police records. One is %
years old and the other 20.
The younger of the youths, Miss
Peters identified, was arrested at his
home by Detective Captain Street, De-
tective Fox and Deputy Sheriff
Flores.
The other was arrested several
hours later by Detectives Golf and
Hice.
SURPRISED BY GIRL.
The robbery was committed at noon
Friday. Evidently having planned the
robbery carefully, the bandit entered
the store while members of the fam
lily were in the rear Of the build
ing.
He was deliberately stuffing money
in his pockets, Miss Peters said, when
she heard a slight noise and glanced
into the shop.
She screamed for help and tried to
hold the robber. As she clutched his
shirt, he knocked her down and made
his escape through an adjoining build
ing occupied by a grocery and crowded
at the time.

WHIP SLAYER is
FREED OF DEATH
OF CONVICT BOY

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July I'll
John Higginbottom whipping boss"
for one of the biggest lumber COM
panies in this state has at last been
freed Of the charge Of having muir
dered Martin Tabert. Higginbottom
was once found guilty of murder but
the lumber company for which he
worked and who might have been
forced to pay the family of the dead
boy damages If the case were permit
ted to rest with an employee of their
guilty Of the murder fought the case
thru the supreme court Of the state
and got new trial and Higginbottom
was acquitted.
Tabert was arrested for stealing"
a ride on a freight train here anu was
sentenced to sixty days in Jail. He
was leased to a lumber company and
while working in their camp was
beaten so badly by Higginbottom that
he died. The defense committee of
the |. W. w. hearing of his case and
with the5 aid of his family in North
Dakota had his death Investigated.
The state legislature of North Da-
kota asked that the guilty parties be
punished. Their resolution was sent
to the state legislature of Florida
and an Investigating committee after
taking testimony reported that the use
of the lash should be abolished. Moth
ing was said of the real evil--the
leasing of convicts to private lumber
and turpentine firms.
A special grand jury was called and
indicted Higginbottom. He and 9TH
ers were tried and he was found
guiltyaa The lumber company for
whom he had acted in beating Tabert
to death was not even reprimanded.
They fought his case and secured a
retrial and he was freed.
In the meanwhile there is a law
against the use of the lash on leased
conyicts but no way to enforce it since
the fellows charged with the enforce
ment of the law are the same ones
who still a"beat hell out of the con.
victs to get the last ounce of work
from them. The evil will continue
till some other poor devil is beaten
to death. If he has friends who can
fight for him there will be more in
designations. But, If he is a friend
less hobo or a niger" he will be
buried in quick lime as Tabert was
and that will be that.

CARNEGIE STEEL
DRIVES WORKERS
MAD WITH SPEED
Old Slaves Strapped
After Life of Toll
BY THOMAS
Worker Correspondent

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 21.-Per-
haps 1t is the growing unemployment
situation which makes the usual ter
rible conditions in the Carnegie Steel
mills worse today than evec before.
The bosses ale getting more brutal
anG arrogant than has been known in
the history of these mills. Men are
forced and driven like dogs. XXI.
The bosses do not need a stick. or
whip as they have good whip, in that
If man does not do what he is told
he is Immediately fred. They are glad
of the chance to fire worker as they
do not have to lay so many on; the
more they fire the better their records
look.
Old slaves Dumped On Scraps Heap
At the present time they are laying
off men who have been working for
twenty years without break but now
they are too old they are not needed
anymore, and besides in a few years
they would have to be pensioned. !.
One case in particular is that of an
old worker who worked for twenty-five
years. During the first fifteen years
he claims that he never lost a days
work, but was there every day, Sun
day included He Is now laid off and
young fellow hired instead.
In the molding section over three
fourths of the force have been laid
of. The brunt has fallen on the older
men, as the only men who have been
kept on are the young men who are
strong and able to keep UP the terrific
pace set in this section. 1t is all
piece work and there is a time set on
every Job. ~
Having some friends in there
walked in to speak to them for a few
minutes but they had no time, they
could not take minute to speak to
one another.
Unemployment Rife W
Unemployment and short time arc
the main features here at the present
time. Most of the mills are shut down,
only the repair sections are working
full time. But the worst part of It is
they still keep the pen in subsection
even tho there is no work.
In the splice bar section the workers
have had to report every day for the
last three weeks in the hope Of getting
a Job, but have been sent home every
day. The same applies to every other
section Those that work are forced
to do triple the york they used to do.
A few of the young men quit, as
they claimed they would sooner starve
than be worked to death. Young work
ers are forced so much that they see
no Joy In living, they almost all take
TO strong drink to ease their minds
from the terrible strain that is i'm
posed on them.

in addition showed surplus Of So
225,507, equal to more than so per
cent of its capital. The $2,4OO,000 paid
in dividends is 2-S again as large as
the entire average profit of pre-war
years.
Oahu Sugar Co. paid IS per cent
dividends on its S6,OOO.O0O capital
stock and closed the. year with sur
plus OF s6,6s5,O0O. This surplus ex-
ceeds the whole value of the capital
stock. The s1,0S0, 600 distributed to
the owners in cash is STA per cent
more than the entire profit average
of pre-war years. se1
Get Away With the swag.
Eva Plantation Co, paid 2S per
cent on 100000 capital stock, a
cash distribution of s1,12O,OOO, ap-
proximately 21s times the average
pre-war profit. The surplus was sS,-
O73,O0O.
Hawaiian Sugar paid "a per cent
dividends on 100000 capital and
finished the year with a surplus of
s1.S76,SS2.,
These are typical results for 1924
shown by members OF the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters Association. Any
one reading the Coolidge apology for
refusing to reduce the sugar tariff
would expect similar prosperity
among the protected" wage earners.
Japanese Struck.
The plantation work is being done
by Filipinos whom the association is
importing by thousands. Tens of
thousands Of Japanese workers were
imported prior to 1920 for plantation
work but they finally struck against
the peon conditions and the owners
had to look elsewhere for strikebreak-
ers.
A request to congress for permits
sion to import Chinese for this pur-
pose was refused on the ground tina;
an adequate supply existed in the
Philippine Islands under the Amer.
can flag.
FiIipinos Won't seab, Either.
Recently the Filipinos also struck
but the planters association, accord
ing to the Wall Street Journal, can
still import plenty for 81 a day and
keep. The policy is to lessen the like
.ihood of strikes by drawing these
workers from different tribes. It is
easy for the corporations to break a
strike because the workers live in
company houses, on company prop
crty and are dependent on the com
rany for their subsistence.
Previously imported Japanese and
Chinese and their children predomin-
ated in the sugar mills.
War "Welfare" Expensive.
An amusing sidelight on this ex.
ploitation is found in the govern.
ment reports on cost of sugar produc-
ton during the war. Government in
vestigators found that one Hawaiian
company raised its expenditure for
welfare work from about 30 cents to
over 81 per employee to escape the
excess profits tax. Probably the in.
terest In welfare has taken a slump
since the repeal of the tax.

Mathews, Lathers, was killed. Several
members suffered injuries. No build.

This is the essence Of an article
in the Southern California Labor
Press, the carpenters organ, July 3,
1920
No Raise in Wages in Santa Barbara
During Rebuilding.
Santa Barbara, July by un-
animous vote at special meeting Of
the Santa Barbara county building
trades council last night a resolution
was adopted declaring that no in
crease in wages will be inaugurated
by any union affiliated with the coun-
Gil during the reconstruction period,
regardless of the length of time it
takes to rebuild the city. The council
also declared that every affiliated
union in the city will cooperate in
speedily restoring Santa Barbara -
Building trades mechanics are

fore actual building proceeds. All

treasurer Of the State Building Trades
Council of California, attended this
meeting and congratulated said coun-
Gil upon its attitude" Labor Press,
July 8, 1920
These two extracts from the local
organ, of the carpenters shows FIVE
things: First, yellow submission to po-
lice authority; second, collaboration
with bosses; third, agreement in ad-
vance not to ask for higher wages;
fourth, that both the Los Angeles
county organization and the state
body of the building trades are in
complete accord with the level
headedness" Of Santa Barbara union
lists; fifth, that all these bodies are
