Wage increases Of 81 to SO, about
10 per cent over those recommended

sion which spent two years investi-
eating the industry, have been grant

mission has been changed to 42-hour

Discharge Terms.
The most important concession of
the union is granting the manufac-
turers the right to discharge 10 per
cent of their working forces annually,
provided that the employer has IS or
more working and that he dismisses
no worker who has not been given
80 weeks pay for the year. Inside
manufacturers employing less than IS
may only exercise the discharge right
If they do not let out any work, en-
ploy no contractors. What the union
will gain from the jobbers in the way
of recognition of responsibility for
conditions in contractors shops de-
ponds on the settlement made. Also
the question OF limitation of contrac-
tors depends on this. The guarantee
OF SO weeks work year is sacrificed,
altho inside manufacturers in the as

work a year. Contractors shops get
an average of only 1928 weeks work
year.

The spring sample season begins
in a week or two so that there will
be employment for the most skilled
workers fairly quickly. But the bulk
of the cloakmakers are not expected
TO be at work until January when the

Suppression in New England.
That action is needed in New Eng

conference, which says;
"The suppression of the civil rights
Of the workers has assumed such
alarming proportions in New England,
particularly in Massachusetts, that it
demands the immediate consideration
of every progressive workers organi-
cation and Of every forward looking in
dividual interested in the progress and
development Of the labor movement.
Facts show that labor speakers have
been barred from using public meet
ing places by specific orders from To-
cal officials. Cities and towns have
shut atheir. doors tight to these who
seek to speak in the interests of la
Dor.
"The constitutional right of workers
to freedom of speech and assembly has
been boldly violated by police and city
officials in Boston, Lawrence, Fall
River, Lynn, and other places where
labor meetings have been interfered
with or prohibited. Government de-
rartments are being used, not to serve
the ends of justice, but rather as a
means of establishing a widespread
system of espionage over those who
are active in the labor movement.
Workers active in the struggle against
the employers are prosecuted on
trumped-up charges and given long
jail sentences. Foreign-born workers
are deported to certain death in the
lands Of the white terror. The funda-
mental rights of the workers to free
dom of speech and assembly, to or
ganize to better their conditions
these rights are being ruthlessly as
sailed and trampled under foot"

An automobile age" education is
suggested by the Hoosier Motor Club
as the only sure way Of protecting
human lives and now that school
has started safety lessons should
form an important part in the work
Of every pupil, according to Todd
Stops, secretary manager of the
club.
IAN Automobile age education
seems to have been acquired by
some of the younger generation"
says Stops. "for strange to say,
here in indianapolis adult deaths
from automobile accidents has out
numbered deaths among children.
1t is hoped that this is not a mere
coincidence, for the accident pre-
vention bureau of the police depart
ment has been doing some wonder
full work with the school children in
conjunction with the Hoosier Motor
Club, and police boys from every
school have assisted nobly and un.
selfishly in an effort to save the
lives of school children.
More laws and restrictions will
not benefit the community to any
extent until the present laws have
been sincerely tried and tested
