tempted to break the grip of the steel
trust on the Erectors' League, but has
failed. Nevertheless, these contractors
who put up the framework of many
of the big skyscrapers under nomi-
nally "open shop" conditions employ

TEXTILE TRADE
Wrecked Through Tariff
and Initiation

New York-"We believe in tariff
to protect industry against foreign
cheap labor, but the American tariff
as it now stands only protects en-
ployers," says Thomas F. Mcmahon,
president of the American Textile
Workers of America.
"We have the highest tariff in the
history of our country" the trade
unionist declared eve have the low
est labor costs per pound or per yard
on the great bulk of our products. We
have increased individual productive
ness of the worker through improved
machinery, and yet wages and work
ing conditions are insufficient to give
them living existence.
"The workers, North, South, East
and West, with few exceptions, in
comparison to the great total working
in the mills Of our country, are slowly
but surely being driven into con-
dition Of peonage.
"When we consider the capitaliza-
ton of many mill corporations, and
compare them with the capitalization
of 10 years ago, we find increases of
from 100 to 1000 per cent without
the addition, in most cases, of a sin
gle new piece of machinery or dollar
from the pockets of the stockholders
during that time. This initiation is
responsible, to a large degree, for the
financial condition of our mills"

United Mine Workers Fight

NO WAGE RECORDS
SMASHED HERE

New York.-The steel trusts an
nual report shows high earners for
1926, but the trusts boasted "high"
wages cannot be sustained by anal
ysis.
The corporation employed 253, ,199
persons last year. They received
wages and salaries totaling $467 ,409,-
446. This is an average of $1,910 for
each person, and includes salaries for
executives. With these salaries elimi-
mated, the rate for wage earners
would not average $1,910.
The year was a successful one for
stockholders. Aside from usual divi-
dends, a 40 per cent stock dividend
was issued. This means that for
every 100 shares of stock, the holder
now has 140 shares.

Fund Big Forward Step
The fund was one of the great steps
forward for union labor. 1t was start
ed August A, 1924, payments being
made at the rate of per cent of pay
roll by employers and / per cent of
the weekly wage of workers. Since
its inception $2,700,000 was contrib
uted into the fund, of which $2,000,000
was expended for unemployment re-
lief. Under the tentative suspension
all funds collected since January / will
be turned back to the contributors
by the trustees.
The Prosanis label now remains the
best weapon of the union to curb the
sweatshop. Renewed emphasis has
been made to have the sanitary union
label sewn in all garments. Julius

the cloakmakers' joint board, has adj
vised "half-hour" strikes in all shops
where the labels are not Forthcoming.

LOSE HOMES

Washington.-Th farmers distress
is shown by statement issued by the
bureau of farm economics of the de-
partment of agriculture on the num-
Der of farmers who lose their proper
ties.
During the year ending March Is
1926, 400 farmers lost their homes
each day. These bankruptcies do not
tell the whole story, as many holders
of mortgages know they will lose
more by foreclosure and are taking a
chance that they will receive at least
part of their interest. The bureau
finds that conditions are worst in the
Rocky Mountain states.

AUTO PRODUCTION
BEHIND LAST YEAR

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. c. Automobile
factories in the United States pro-
duced 260,330 passenger cars and 49,
029 trucks in February, a total of
298,359 vehicles of both kinds, accord
ing to the United States department
of commerce.
February output was about 83 per
cent of that of the same month last
year, according to the official figures,
but was greater than the production
of February, 1925.
The reports of the commerce de-
partment are based on advices from
100 manufacturing plants.
January output of motor vehicles
was below that of the same month
of 1926 so that thus far this year the
industry has run completely behind

Iron League Changes Guise
After 3 Years of War on
Labor in New York District

BY International Labor News Service
New York City-The Iron League
of New York, the one remaining open

it's guise. On April l it went out of
business, but will continue it's anti

Constitutional provisions have been
made that the Steel Board of Trade
"shall take over the handling of the

work for its members and depart

Employers will set aside per cent

tendents interviewed are in favor of
such a system, it is said.

ing conditions the poor are forced to
seek shelter in county homes, where
husbands and wives are separated and
oftentimes compelled to associate

NIGHT

You go to bed dog-tired but still no
sleep, no real rest. Morning finds
you a rag. One Of the first effects
of a poisoned system is nerve" -
restless, sleepless nights. The whole
thing is traceable to our modern
habits of life which put too great
burden on Our vital organs, especi-
ally the liver.
The liver becoming dead" or
sluggish fails to remove the toxic
poisons from the blood, which then
posons the system, weakening stom-
ach, kidneys and heart, causing high
blood pressure and undermining
health in general.
1t is universally recognized that
occasionally the liver needs little
help. Nothing is better for this, say
medical men, than OK gall. Ok gall
is a great natural stimulant for the
human liver. promoting its normal
active functioning so essential to
real health. Dioxol tablets are gen.
uine OK gall in dainty and tasteless
form, each tablet representing 10
drops of pure OK gall. To be sure
of getting the genuine OK gall, be
sure of getting Dioxol. They cost
less than &c each at good druggists,
and a few bring new days.

PRESS WANT AID SECTION
CIRCULAR GIVES
STATISTICS ON
DAIRY INDUSTRY

A circular which has just been
distributed in several parts Of the
valley and which was published by
the research department of the
California Development Association
is highly commendatory to the
dairy industry in this state. 1t
points out that this industry has
achieved position of major i'm
portance at an earlier date than any
other of the states outstanding
agricultural industries and declares
that there is still room for steady
growth.
One point which the circular lays
particular stress is on the fact that
the milk given by cows pastured in
this state is of much higher grade
than in others. 1t also shows that
while this state had but 90 per cent
of the dairy cows in the country in
1924, California was credited with
81 of the total production. In
terms of actual production per cow,
$50 gallons were reported for Cali
fornia as against 440 for the other
states as a whole.
The state department of agricul
ture reports that the farm value of
milk fat sold in 1926 was $72,3S3,-
900 and the wholesale value of all
dairy products $l30,130,7S2.
These do not include small amounts
of butter and cheese made on the
various farms. 1t is pointed out
that if the value of the animals
sold for slaughter and other by
products were added the dairy in
dustry would appear to be one of
the most important in the state
from the standpoint of aggregate
value of its products.
The circular urges a steady in
crease in tthe number of cattle but
alse' urges that measures be adher-
ed to in advancing the quality of
the product as well.
A table shows that in 1850 there
were 1000 head of dairy cattle in
this state as against $4,000 head
today.
The circular contains numerous
tables, and information which should
prove Of value to dairymen in the
valley. The dairy industry here is
gradually forging ahead as one of
the Valleys big assets and the in
formation should prove interesting
to those engaged in dairying.
