MONEY AND RELIGION
mans town.

A Michigan clergyman recently estimated
that the people in one county in that state spend
$4,000 each for maintenance of automobiles. but
only $3.50 for the maintenance of religion That
perhaps explains to some extent why religion does
not accomplish more.
This does not reflect on the many who do give
generously to religious enterprises. But the great
majority never give scarcely anything to churches
and affiliated societies. and yet they may complain
that the churches never accomplish anything. I'M
fortunately no kind Of enterprise, matter how
noble, can accomplish great deal in this world.

Carpenters Will Maintain
Union Shop In Los Angeles
Where Battle Is Looked For

By international Labor News Service.
Los Angeles, Cal.-On and after
May II union carpenters in Los An
geles county will work only with union
carpenters. In other words, they will
maintain the union shop. In telling
of the decision of the carpenters, the
Southern California Labor Press says:
For years union carpenters in Los
Angeles county have worked side by
side with non-union carpenters-with
men who formerly were members of
the union, and with men who never
were members. The result is the low
est wage scale of any city in the
United States comparable in popula-
ton with that of Los Angeles, and
in addition to this there has been a
constant battle to maintain the Sat
urday half-holiday, rigidly observed
everywhere except here.
Face Hard Fight
THE union carpenters. of Los An
geles county are not taking this step
with their eyes closed. They know
exactly the opposition their action
will arouse. They know that every
contractor who is opposed to paying
decent wages and is against the Sat
urday half-holiday will do everything
within his power to defeat the union
shop. He will have the backing of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Asso-
citation, the Chamber Of Commerce
and practically every bank in the city
except the Peoples National Bank,
which will bring their combined pres
sure upon prospective builders as
we'll as dealers in building material
But with all the support he can get,
he will find, within very short time,
that he can not carry on his business
with all non-union carpenters, for the
ficient number of skilled unorganized
carpenters to do the work that is to
be done in Los Angeles. Time will
prove this statement to be true
To Work Only With Unionists

TRIAL RIGHTS
Are Immune, Says New
York Court

New York.-Judge Mcintyre, in
general sessions court, challenged the
constitutionality of the Baumes crimes
bills, recently passed by the legisla-
ture, which would compel counsel for
the defendant to make his opening ad-
dress to the jury following the pre-
sentation of the states case by the
prosecution.
This law does not take effect until
July l, but Judge McIntypre express
ed the belief that it was unconstitu-
tional.
"The constitutions of the United
States and the state of New York do
not presume that man is guilty or
that he will have to offer any defense
until the state has produced suffi-
cient evidence to have jury pass
upon the merits of the case" said
Judge Mcintyre.
an fact" continued the court, "a
defendant is never required to make
an opening address at all, even if,
in the opinion of the presiding judge,
a sufficient case has been presented
to warrant conviction unless defense
is offered"
| The court let it be understood that
the legislature can not take these
rights from accused persons.
"The act is clearly unconstitution-
al" he said.

LUDLOW MASSACRE"
RECALLED BY MINERS

Denver.-The twelfth anniversary
of the Ludlow Massacre" on April
20, 1914, was observed by members
of District Is, United Mine Workers,
who placed a wreath on the monument
to mark the death of IL children, two
women and five men.
The miners were on strike against
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company,
one of the Rockefeller properties.
Gun men wearing the uniform of the
state militia opened fire on the tent

union when the strikers were evicted
from company houses.

CHILD AND WOMEN
Night Workers Cause Sur.
vey in North Carolina

Charlotte, N. C.-"The employment
of women and children in night work
in southern cotton mills is more than
a social mistake, it is an economic
crime and should be prevented by the
state" said Robert Lassiter, cotton
mill operator and member of the
directorate of the Richmond Federal
Reserve Bank.
Mr.. Lassiter said he has congratu-
lated Governor Mclean upon his de-
cision to have an investigation made
of plants employing women and chill
dren.
1.-THE result of night work by wom-
EN- and children, even though the chill
dren be of legal age, can not be justi-
fled by morals or common sense" said
Mr.. Lassiter.
"The fixed policy of running the
mills at night, and using women and
children in them for such work can
have but one result, and that will be
harmful, vitiating and destructive to
the industry itself
''It is the economic blunder and
crime of the thing, the anti-business
phase of it, that has impressed me.
/ am opposed to it and will be delight
ed to have the cover torn off the situ-
alton as now exists in the state and
throughout the south. 1t will be the
salvation Of the cotton manufacture
ing industry itself, if the elimination
of this primal cause of all it's evils
can be brought about"
The governors decision to order a
probe followed long agitation by vari-
Gus women's organizations and trade
unions of this state.
The agitation was renewed when
cotton mill owners. refused to permit
the University of North Carolina to
survey conditions in mill villages OF
the state.

Profits Of Exploited Toll
Used to Fight Health Laws
Urged by Organized Labor

Labor must organize to meet these
concerted attacks of the employing
interests. Labor must have its own
machinery of scientific research as a
weapon in defending its right to the
maximum health protection. Labor
must strengthen to the utmost the
workers health bureau, which is it's
only national scientific trade union
health agency. established for and
supported by organized workers. AL
ready 100 trade unions groups in 22
states and British Columbia are affil-

BY International Labor News Service.
New York City.-Profits from the
toll of exploited workers are being
used by employers in fighting health
measures put forward by organized
labor. This fact is cited by the work
ers' health bureau Of America in an
effort to arouse workers throughout
the country to demand safeguards
now denied them in the form of laws,
ordinances and health agreements.
The forces Of the financial inter-
ests are national," declares the health
bureau. AT every state legislative
session their representatives appear
to lobby against all bills offered in
labor's behalf. Their lineup is es.
sentially the same in every state
whether it be in Wisconsin fighting q
spray machine prohibitory bill, in
New York or Rhode island opposing
a compensation measure, in New Jer-
sey attacking a proposed health code,
or in Massachusetts assailing set
of safety standards.
Employers Use Threats
Their principal argument is a
threat that if this or that bill goes
through it will result in wholesale
exodus Of industry from the state,
that the bin under consideration will
mean so much loss to employers that
they can no longer employ workers
and that restrictive legislation inter-
fering with business must cease.
"We have just met with heavy de-
feats which clearly show what tactics
are invariably to be expected from
employers. In New York state one
of the employers bill would cut COM
pensation- for eye injuries so per cent.
That bill was supported by the official
medical societies against the interests
of the workers.
False Stories Spread
'In Rhode Island employers opposed
labor's amendments to increase COM
pensation awards, falsely spreading
the idea that workers were ready to
cut off their hands or put out their
eyes to get the pittance now paid in
that state. Although Rhode Island
provides no compensation for any oc-
cupational disease, the employers de-
liberately used such misrepresenta.
ton of facts in an effort to defeat an
amendment to provide compensation
for the thousands of workers in haz-
ardous trades who become victims OF
occupational diseases.

UNION PRINTERS
Gain in Earnings and Mem
bership

BY international Labor News Service.
Indianapolis, Ind. A statement
just issued from the office of the In
ternational Typographical Union here
shows that the earnings of union
printers of the United States and Can
ada increased 1916 per cent in the II
months beginning November 1, 1924,
as compared with earnings for the II
months preceding that date.
The total earnings of union men,
bers in the period mentioned amount
ed to 1921 ,454,789, an increase Of
S25, ,920,953 over the period of the pre-
vious II months, which totaled $685.
533,386.
Wage increases for 525 local unions
were negotiated since the present
council took office, the statement said.
The gain in membership has been
1862. The statement directs atten-
tion to the fact that the ground lost
in membership between 1920 and 1924
was not fully regained. The loss is
partly accounted for by the struggle
to establish the 44-hour week in the
commercial printing branch.
The union has carried on a strenu-
Gus union label campaign and the in
crease in membership has been large

macrine and covered the second job
with asphalt. Inasmuch as there is
no evidence available in support of
either contention, the one is just as
sound as the other.
In Chicago certain beauty shop
owners have just been resorting to
machine and covered the second job
of business. 1t is by no means al
ways workers who resort to violence.
AS matter of fact it is quite safe to
assume that in the past year there has
been more desperate violence in riv-
airy between show owners and en-
ployers that has been resorted to by
all the workers in the land for all
reasons.
1t used to be safe for anyone to as
sumo that every case of assault and
battery and every bomb explosion was
the act Of some enraged union man.
That assumption doesn't go any more.
Rival businesses and rival business
organizations are the first to be sus-
pected today when a bomb goes off.
Chicago and New York are familiar
with these business outrages and the
newspapers no longer conceal the
facts. Organized gangs find emplyo-
ment in business and trade wars.
AS to the paint-spraying machines
the union has found and medical au-
thorities have supported the finding
that paint spraying by machine is q
menace to health. That is the only
ground on which the machine has
been opposed.
The average person who is moi
painting contractor is likely to con.
clude that health is fairly goot
ground for opposition Of that kind.
