Our readers will see that the articles are the
same in substance.
Mr. Gibson further states that the article in the
News is misleading and that the figures given
represented the scattering of gravel for depth
of only two or three inches, which according to
our information is not accurate.
Mr.. Gibson suggested in the advertisement that
the people of Carbon County examine the county
records for the past two years. We have acted
upon Mr. Gibson's suggestion and have examined
the records but our examination goes back far
Their than two years. We examined the records
back to 1920 when Mr.. Gibson was acting as sup
ervisor Of the Red Lodge Roberts and Fromberg
Bridger road projects We herewith publish one
of the claims we found on record Space will not
permit our publishing them all in this issue.

to compare the cost Of this road to the cost of the

This completed the stretch of two

yards of gravel. It was put on dur
ing October, November and Deem
Der and under adverse weather condi-

KUSBAS COLONY
INCREASES ITS
COAL OUTPUT
American Colony Is
Good Producer

WASHINGTON, March 10.-Reports
reaching the Russian Information Blu
reau in Washington show that Kusbas
colony, to which a large number of
migratory workers from the United
States went some years ago, is max
ing good as a producer.
The colony, located in the Kuznets
Basin, in southwestern Siberia, had
an output of 426,2OO metric tons of
coal last year, and shipped 1862, 800 me-
trio tons of coal and 1880 metric
tons of coke. 1t built a great deal
of new housing, produced chemicals
for the dye, military and medical in
dustries, and developed further plans
which will approximately double the
output. of all products this year. The
plans contemplate bringing the an
nual coal output to 100000 tons
within ten years. A yearly output of
100000 tons of pig iron is another
item in the program.
Wages were increased 35 per cent
last year, the selling price of coal was
reduced 33 per cent, and labor pro-
ductively increased one and one-half
times.

Working-cIass Wife and Mother.
The double burden that the work

pointed out by Matilda Kalousek. Not
only do the working-class women
work in the shops and in the factory
after marriage; but they must main
tain their homes and care as best they
can for their children in addition
There is no freedom thru marriage
for the working girl. There is no
normal family life under the capital
list system. And while the mothers
of the workingfclass children are toll

dren are learning from others the cat
echisms of the capitalists-the lingo
patriotism which is to prepare them
for entering the next war. 1t is up
to us workers to organize so that the

capitalists. 1t lis up to all working

Speakers in Lithuanian and in Rus

sentiment that the organization of
working-class women was a thing
necessary and desired.

Low WAGES and

UNION CAMP AIGN
Millinery Girls Seek
Better Conditions
BY CARL HAESSLER,
Federated Press)

Four thousand women millinery
workers are on the road to better
wages and tolerable conditions with
the launching of Local So, Cloth Hat
Cap and Millinery Workers Interna-
tional Union, last week. A strong
charter roll includes several hundred
girls and women who want to see the
better times they once enjoyed in the
industry restored.
Wages Of IL to $1S a week for the
ordinary worker in mass production
is the rule, especially in the small
contract shops. High skilled en-
ployes, who shape and trim the model
hats used in taking orders from the
wholesalers and retailers, may get $50
to $50. The season lasts less than
four months during which all statutes
protecting women workers in industry
are disregarded and the girls and mar
ried women put in 10 to IA hours a
day, seven days week. Then sud
denly everything stops and there is
unemployment of operation at 10 to
20 per cent of plant capacity for the
rest of the time.

Research Class Shows Textile Profits

1T tells how workers in the wool
securing process and in the dyeing
and wet-fnishing processes are ex-
posed to fumes from benzine, benzol
and other chemicals. Then 1t adds
the cheerful news: Two to three
parts of benzol in a hundred parts of
fresh air breathed for a few hours
may cause loss of consciousness.
(This means that two-thousandths Of
1 per cent OF sbenzol fumes in the air
are enough to cause unconsciousness.)
Mortality Statistics.
A study ofistatistics as to the death
rate among wool workers as COM
pared to the general average death
rate of the population of the United
States reveals that the death rate is
much higher among wool workers in
many diseases. For example, in tu-
berculosis AZ per cent of wool work
ers between the ages of % and "a die
from this disease, as against 81 per
cent of the gaheral population. Deaths
from pneumonia and Bright's disease
also show a. higher percentage than
that Of the general population.
The result of these Investigations
by the Workers School Research De-
partment have made the textile wor x
ers Of Passaic more determined than
ever to fight for the restoration of the
10 per cent that was robbed from
them, for 10 per cent increase, and
to demand general cleaning up of
the sanitary conditions in their shops.

BOSSES SEEK TO
CURB WORKMEN'S
COMP ENSATION
N. Y. Legislature Favors
Employers

NE YORK, March 10-Workers in
New York State are urged by the
Workers Health Bureau to take ac-
ton against the attempts of employ
ers to sidetrack labor's compensation
amendments while pushing thru bills
which would destroy the present ben
ehts of the compensation act"
Seek to Rob Blind Workers.
One OF the employers bills (senate
bill Introductory number 184) would
cut compensation for eye injuries by
30 per cent.
The present law provides compensa-
ton for industrial eye injuries, but
contains no schedule grading various
losses of vision. Heretofore the law
has been interpreted so that the sole
question involved was whether the
worker was industrially blind. If he
was unable to perform his particular
Job because of injured eyeslght he was
entitled to compensation.
A recent decision Of the state courts
reversed this practice. In the Stru-
Dol case the courts held that all kinds
of technical eye tests be given equal
consideration with tests for industrial
blindness. Complicated eyesight
schedules were admitted in evidence.
which had nothing to do with whether
a worker could see we'll enough to
perform his regular job. Under these
schedules a worker may be declared
thaa~1k{aoll~v 81 - l.
industrially blind, and is thus deprived
of the full compensation to which he
is entitled under the present compen-
sation act.
The employers are attempting to
write these schedules into the COM
pensation act by means of Senate
Bill Introductory 1874.
Workers representatives who ar
gued against the bill maintained that
Industrial blindness be the only con-
sideration in awarding compensation
for eye injuries. They pointed out
that watchmakers, railway trainmen,
mechanics, sign painters, needle
trades workers and others whose jobs
depend on their eyesight are indus
trially blind and should receive full
compensation. Any attempt to de.
pEive them of compensation by intro
duoing tests which have no bearing
on q mans ability to continue at work
must be kept out of the law.
Bosses Seek Compensation Control.
The second bill opposed by labor
SENATE Bill Introductory Number 35)
provides for the creation Of a state
medical advisory council, with final
powers over all disputed compensa-
ton cases.
The bill was introduced at the re-
quest of the employing interests, who
claim that the present compensation
law 1s too liberal to workers. The
bill would set up a self-perpetrating
advisory council Of 80 physicians,
headed by state medical director
and a deputy director.
At hearing before the Labor and
Industries Committee, workers repre-
sentatives pointed out that company
doctors, working for the bosses,
would be the ones to be appointed to
the proposed medical Jobs. In all dis
puted compensation cases the pro-
posed council has the right to choose
an arbiter, whose decision is final,
thus robbing the worker OF his pres
emit right to appeal first to the State
Industrial Commission and later to
the courts. 1t would turn over the
administration Of the entire compen-
sation act to the employers, thru their
doctors in the council.
