BUILDING BOSS
ASSN OPPOSES
FIvE-DAY week
Also Resolves Against
Wage Increases

PITTSBURGH, Dec. 19.-The FIVE
day work week for building trades
workers and wage increases are en-
phatically opposed by the National
Building Trades Employers Associa-
ton, meeting in Pittsburgh. Resolu-
tions against both were adopted by the
$50 delegates from all parts Of the
country.
The five-day week resolution of the
American Federation of Labor is
stated to be Of profound economic sig
nifcance to the building industry. The
resolution against it cites various rea-
sons: that the building industry is sea-
sonal and needs to have work done
every fine day; that the shorter work
week would increase costs, especially
since overtime rates would commence
more quickly; that the amount of
available labor would be that much
reduced that the workers might be
extravagant spenders in their In
creased idle time and want more pay.
The meeting endorsed the PROPOSE
ton Of each locality establishing a
permanent apprenticeship system for
building trades work. The builders
contend that there is shortage Of
skilled workers and the immigration
restrictions heighten this, so that
some Offset must be made.

IN. DIS ATTEMPT
TO SLASH WAGES
OF NURSES HERE
Doctors Society Sets Up
Scab Registry

The Chicago Medical Society has
launched drive to slash the wages
Of the graduate nurses Of the city and
have set up what amounts to ''scab"
nurses registry to force the nurses
to submit to what the doctors say are
fair working conditions and wages.
This is revealed by the meeting of the
society this week, when the organiza-
TONS council decreed that ut was the
duty of the medical profession to in
terfere in behalf OF the sick against
prices charged by the nurses"
Want Them to Work "a Hours.
That the nurses should be on duty
"a hours day and that they be forced
to care for more than one patient at
time is demanded by the doctors.
The nurses now receive 81 day, and
the majority work IL hours a day.
The medics seized upon an extreme
case, where a patient demanded two
graduate nurses to be in attendance
at all times for "a hours, which, In
Guiding board, brought the total cost
to $119 weekly. The doctors point
to this case as showing that the
poorer" persons cannot afford such
expenditures for nursing. But the
doctors admitted that such special
nursing was in most cases unneces-
sary in Chicago hospitals.
Have Own Registry.
The nurses now have q registry Of
their own, which serves as an employ
ment exchange. But the doctors have
set up another registry in competi-
ton with the nurses, which will rec
ognize only graduate nurses from
recognized schools" and those who
will abide by the wages and working
conditions approved by the medical So
ciety.
The conditions that the doctors APP
prove include that the nurses should
work "a hours day with the same
pay sleeping when they get a
chance), accept half-time Jobs at half
pay, and accept group assignments.
Group assignments are those in which
the nurse will accept more than one
patient at time and work for the
pay Of one patient.
The Chicago nurses are expected to
fight this attempt of the doctors to
control their wages and working con-
ditions, especially the competition Of
the doctors registry.

children's bureau of the department
of labor. The letter, written to Sen.
Sheppard was introduced on the floor
of the senate and ordered published
in the Congressional Record.
e Mention KoIIantaI.
1t is interesting that the name Of
Nine. Kollantai, Soviet envoy to
Mexico, recently barred from the u.
S. by Sec. Kellogg, was brought into
the controversy between the maya
zine and Mrs. Abbott The children's
bureau recently published a bulletin
in which It stated: THE most COM
prehensive study on maternity bene-
fts and insurance which has yet ap-
peared in any language is the volume
by Nine. A. Kollantai." The Woman
Patriot seized upon this statement as
showing that the children's bureau
was "communistic and supported the
Bolsheyik government" The maya
zine calls Kollantai the worst com
munist In the Soviet Union-too radi-
cal even for Lenin and Trotzky."
Wanted Attack on Prussia.
Mrs. Abbott then points out tina
the magazine launched an attack or
the bureau for not denouncing the
"Bolshevik corruption and national
ization OF children - the Creates
crime against CHILDHOOD and mother
hood in history Mrs. Abbott an
swers this ridiculous statement by
saying" A reply to this is unneces-
sary. The children's bureau was not
established to expose political corrup-
ton in other countries"
1.-THE Woman Patriot brands every.
thing that IL opposes communistic or
socialistic, using these terms inter
changeably," states the bureau
director.

Violates Union Rights.
Only on appeal to q second Judge
did the Interborough Subway Co. Sc
cure its injunction against the strike
leaders. Edward LAWN, one of the
men enjoined, asserts that the court
order is in fragrant violation of the
rights of men to organize and bargain
collectively, as established by 100
years of experience in the labor move
ment.
Work to Go On.
'Injunctions will not provide the
workers with better standards of liv.
ing, NOR will they prevent them from
organizing to secure better standards
thru their union" LAWN declared.
THE traction trust organizes as it
sees fit to squeeze profits out of the
workers and the public, and no injunc-
ton is issued against them" The
unions organization work has been
going on and will continue" LAWN
emphasized, with Harry Bark, also
named in the injunction.
Sues Leaders.
Counsel Nathan P. Perlman may ap.
peal the Injunction in behalf of the
subway workers. The damage suit
brought by the Interborough for $780,
300 against the strike leaders is still
