WORKERS MUST SAVE
10 PER CENT OF WAGES
Thrift Made Compulsory for En-
ployes Of Kansas Utilities
Company.
Ry the Associated Press.


ABILENE, Kans., January 3.-To
save at least 10 per cent of his pay
is one of the duties of every employe
Of the Brown utilities interests, whose
headquarters is here. c. /. Brown,
president of the United Power &
Light Corporation and the United
Telephone Co, requires every one of
the 1,400 employees, from office boy to
manager, to be thrifty, and, there
fore, contented."
Give me a man with a family and
cut of a hundred, we have a con-
tented worker" said Mr.. Brown. "On
the other hand, although by no means
always, the man who does not have
something tangible to show for his
job is usually ready to seek another
with the slightest excuse for the
shift"
The compulso savings system was
Established two years ago, and today
virtually every employe is praising
the plan, according to Mr. Brown.
Total savings of the workers exceed
S156,000 a year. The labor turnover
has become negligible. ..'....
The lowest paid man or woman
saves the most proportionately, sur
,vey by the committee shows. Most
sof the higher Salaried officials scarce
.ly succeeded in putting aside the
minimum 10 per cent, while some of
those receiving the least wage put
away as much as a fourth of their
earnings.

Marguerite Tucker, Belle Robbins,

among whom are newspaper men.
The purpose Of this publicity bu-
reau is to advertize our party and
its purpose more extensively, so
that our propaganda may reach
workers who are not yet awakened
politically. With that in view, it
is concentrating on getting into the
capitalist press effective announce

interviews with our leading candi-
dates on the salient features Of our
party platform, and feature stories
Of all kinds about the campaign
and candidates.
Publicity for our party press will
be the most important phase Of the
work, therefore, every comrade who
can contribute articles of interest
should do so. Every outdoor meet
ing should be written up either by

ers. Write briefly, mention names

$3.50 ILLINOIS
MINERS JOBLESS
DURING The YEAR
Average Tonnage Rises
with Speed-up

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Oct 13-There-
were S1,6O5 men employed by Illinois
coal mines during the year ended
June 30, 1925, according to director
A. d. Lewis, Of the state department
Of mines This means a decrease of
1880 from the previous year when
there we're 99,765 miners on the pay
rolls The total output this year was
66,144,361 tons or 81 tons per men
employed. In the year ended June
30, 1924, the total was 72,40S,6 tons
or 725 tons per man.
His report contains figures on the
fatality rate in Illinois mines which
should silence operator propaganda
against the Illinois law permitting
only those to be hired as miners who
have qualified for state certificates.
The operators claim that this keeps
the state in the union column by pre-
venting them from hiring nonunion
strikebreakers when they want to
break away from union conditions.
INC AAASAS - hOMOfCAf NbuLcuu that
such law, by keeping inexperienced
men from dangerous work for which
they are not qualified, renders mining
more safe. The figures support this
contention. They show 1T fatalities
in Illinois mines in the year ended
June 30, or less than 2 per million
tons Of coal mined, while the average
proximately four fatalities per mil
lion tons. During the year only one
Illinois. miner was killed by a gas
explosion which is a record both for
state and nation.

experienced since early 1923"
Compares Badly With Last Year.
But comparison with figures for the
preceding years does not support such
optimism. 1t shows that factory en-
ployment in Illinois in September was
less than 1-3 Of per cent above Sep
TENDER, 1924, which was the worst
September on record even If the de-
preston year 1921 is included Only
about 1000 more workers were on
the payrolls than a year ago in fac
tories normally employing more than
three-quarters of million.
Employment in September, 1925,
according to Gains figures, was 101s
per cent below September, 1928, and
nearly per cent below September,
1922. 1t was actually per cent be-
low September, 1921, the year Of
deepest depression.
These figures show that we cannot
look to factory employment for the
drop in the ratio Of applicants to jobs
available at the free employment Of
fees thruout the state. In September
there were 100 such applicants for
every 100 positions compared with
1879 in August and 143 year ago. The
workers who did not find jobs in fac
tories must have drifted away from
Illinois or haye found temporary work
in building, road construction, out
door railway work or the mines which
show more workers on their payrolls
than year ago.
Employment increased in SS of the
IS industries but these gains were
largely seasonal. The report notes
especially gains in the steel plants,
farm implements, car building, furni-
ture factories and canneries. AS
whole 1t shows that the small gain
does not represent any progress out
Of the slump which followed 1928, but
rather some Repatriation of employ
ment in Illinois factories at a lower

cause the British imperialists refuse

ings.

unions are the basis of the movement
