Peoria, ILL.,, Safety, leisure, edu-

trade union movement in addition to
higher standards of life in other re-
spects," declared Secretary Treasurer
Victor A. Olander of the Illinois State
Federation of Labor, in an address
at the dedication ceremonies of the
Peoria Labor Temple.
Safety means life. Leisure gives
opportunity for abundant life, and
education results in more abundant
life.

great dangers to be eliminated from
industry and even some child labor

paid by policy holders, it is estimated
that members Of organized labor con-
tributed about $15O,0O0,OO0. These
funds go into the Golfers of Wall

to be added to the resources with
which the banking interests dominate
the economic life of the country.
"That life insurance company con-
trolled by workers and operated in the
interests of the workers can materi-
ally reduce workers insurance costs
is not doubted. The successful oper-
alton of such companies in Europe
furnish ample evidence
"The Union Labor Life Insurance
Company will not have to pay hum
dreds of thousands of dollars annually
in salaries. It will not have to spend
millions yearly for an army of solici-
tors and collectors, as it plans to
carry on it's work through labor or
ganizations affiliated with it by MAX

word, it plans to sell life insurance

Federal Judge Issues Injunction to Bar
Organizing Of Indianapolis Street Car Men

molesting the union organizers Arm
strong and Parker and a few local
organizers have been arrested more
than forty times within the last six
weeks on various trumped-up charges
The street car company has used
every effort to prevent the organiza
tion of the men. Indianapolis car men
are said to be the poorst paid of any
similar employees in the county, al
though the company gets 7-cent fare
and an extra cent for transfer.
The following demands have been
presented to the company:
That thirty men who have been dis
charged from their jobs as employees
of the company be reinstated; that
all disputes be settled between en-
ployes and the company by arbitra-
tion: that the following wage scale
go into effect: For the first three
months, 55 cents an hour; next nine
months, 60 cents an hour; and after
the first year 65 cents an hour, with
men operating one-man cars and
busses to receive an additional cents
on each grade of the scale.
Wage Scale Is Low
The present wage scale is 81 cents
an hour for the first year, with l.
cent an hour raise for every year
thereafter up to five years. After
that the wages are stationary.
For several years efforts have beer
made to organize the indianapolis
street car men, but the company anc
allied union busters have successfully
fought off the efforts through injunc-
tive processes.

but he feared that some of them
might be discharged after his dismis-
sal.
Seeks to Aid Employees Only
"He asked me to assist in the in
terest of these employees only and not
in his own behalf. He had no thought
of himself, which is characteristic of
the man John told me that if Gov
ernor Small wanted him to go he
would do SO without protest, although
he had devoted practically all of his
life to prison work.
81 think that it is very commend
able on the part of you union labor
men that you are taking up the cud-
gels for Mr.. Whitman" said Mr.. Dar-
row. 1T shows that you appreciate
true friendship and that you really do
stand by your friends, in accordance
with your long established and we'll
known policy. 1t is only in some such
manner that justice can be served in
thes matter. John Whitman will not
make a fight for himself, so his
friends will have to fight for him.
Think Governor Erred in Judgment
I'VE must not do or say anything
which may seem unfair to Governor
Small. The Governor, | am certain
has simply made an error Of judg-
ment in this matter, and we must try
to convince him of that fact.
Il believe that Governor Small will
listen to you union labor men," said
Mr. Darrow 'He knows that you are
his real friends and would not inten-
tionally give him bad advice. 1t is
true that he has done many favors
for you--in fact, he has gone farther
for you at times than | believe
would have gone were | in his posi-
ton, but / feel certain that he will
do this one more favor for you, and
in doing so he will but serve the
whole people of the State of Illinois.
Ready to Aid In ANY Capacity
You may call on me for coopera-
tion of any kind in this matter" con-
cluded Mr. Darrow. 81 am ready to
serve in any capacity in connection
with your efforts to bring abbout the
reinstatement of John Whitman"

DOUBLE PENALTIES
Does Much to Protect n. Y.
Child Labor

New York.-Imposing on the en-
ployer penalty Of double compen-
sation for children injured while il
legally employed has brought about
striking results in New York, accord
ing to Miss Frances Perkins, of the
state industrial board.
The law, which has been in opera
ton over two years, applies when the
illegality relates to age, working pa
pers, long hours and prohibited occu-
pations.
One large employer was assessed
double compensation four times in
one week. Whereupon he changed his
employment policy SO that now work
ing papers are demanded and children
barred from work on dangerous ma
chinery.
Inspectors of the state child labor
department are convinced that the
pocketbook is an effective place to
strike child labor employers who per-
NIT their zeal for profits to blind
their sense of justice for children.

HIT AS FRAUD
On Textile Workers Is Pro

Washington.-The protective tariff
is sham and fraud SO far as main
tanning American standards of living
in the cotton textile industry is con-
cerned, according to Thomas F. Nc
Mahon, president of the United Tex
tile Workers of America, in a state
ment made before the senate com
mittee on labor in support of the reso-
luton for an investigation of the
wages paid in tariff protected indus
tries.
Referring to report by Secretary
of Commerce Hoover that the average
wage paid 10000 workers in the cot
ton industry is $17O3, President Nc.
Mahon said:
"We must take from this amount
the 10 per cent reduction in 1925, anC
then we have an approximate wage
of $3.50 per week.
"This average is not sufficient te
meet present living costs and main
tain the standards of American work
ing men and women which the tariff
proponents claimed would be brough
about"
President Mcmahon also charged
that enormous profits have been made
by certain textile concerns and de
clared that few employers in the tex

famous Chicago lawyer, regards it as
highly praiseworthy and commendable
that officers of organized labor in Ill

right thing" said Mr.. Darrow in an
interview with International Labor
News Service. Il have known John
Whitmen for 35 years, and | would be
likely to lose faith in all men if any
one We're able to convince me that he
is guilty of Intentional wrong doing.
II have known him as jailer of the
Bridewell here in Chicago, and later
as warden of the prison at Joliet, and
| can truthfully say that l know OF
no man better qualified for the line of
work he has been engaged in than is
Whitman.
Warm Praise For Whitman
A kindlier, more considerate, more
humane, more just, more honest OF
efficient man could not be found than
is John Whitman" said the famous
lawyer. John was always thinking
of ways and means to make useful
citizens out of the human wreckage
turned over to his care. He knew, of
course, that many of these convicts re-
quired close watching and careful
supervision, but he gave each one a
square deal and chance for refor.

ut is true that he consulted me in
reference to his removal from office
but his only thought was for his ole
employees at the penitentiary. He tolc
me that they were under civil service
