'<HICH" WAGES HIT
MINNESOTA WOMEN

St. Paul, Minn.-The loudly ac-
claimed high wages which it is al
legged exist throughout the United
States are not prevalent among women
and boy wage earners in Minnesota.
This is revealed by the wage statis-
tics presented in the 1925-1926 bien-
nial report of the industrial commits
sion of Minnesota.
Of the 33,784 women and boys COW
cred by the report, 3,457 received less
than S12 per week; $,440 received So
and under $15; ,638 received $15
and under $40, while only 9,249 re-
ceived $40 week and over.
The average weekly wage for Min
nesota as whole was S17.37.
The report does not state to what
extent the 33,784 wage earners in.
vested their savings in stocks anC
bonds.

Chicago. Judge James H.
Wilkerson, buddy of the malodorous
Harry M. Daugherty, with whom Will
kerson worked to wreck the railroad
shopmen's unions during the great
strike five years ago, is at it again.
This time Judge Wilkerson has lent
helping hand to the "open shoppers"
by issuing drastic injunction against
five of the printing trades unions of
Chicago.
The temporary restraining order,
which prohibits almost everything ex-
cept breathing, was issued on the ap-
plication of the attorneys for the
White Printing House of Chicago,
which broke its contract by locking
out the 200 union employees in its me-
chanical departments April 16 and
served notice that the plant would be
operated on 48-hour weekly "open
shop" basis in the future.
Federal Writ Complete Surprise
1t had been anticipated that per-
haps an injunction writ would be re-
sorted to as a weapon in the fight,
but it came as a complete surprise
that the federal courts were asked
to issue writ.
The "union busters" have some
warm friends among the Cook county
judges, but it is presumed that none
Of these was applied to because the
judicial elections occur in June. Be-
sides that, the legislature is in ses-
sion and there might be bad reac-
tion at Springfield, the state capital,
if any fthe superior or circuit judges
should get gay with the injunction
limitation act passed by the general
assembly two years ago.
The White Prining House, owned
by Chicago men but Incorporated in
Delaware, therefore went to the old
and reliable injunction mill operated
by Judge Wilkerson and set up the
plea that it was entitled to writ be-
cause it was foreign" corporation
and resident" of Delaware.
Fight May Begin Nationwide
Assault
This assault on the printing trades
unions of Chicago is regarded as pos
sibly the opening of nationwide at
tack on the 44-hour work weekk estab-
lished by the international Typograph-
ical Union after long and bitter
fight in which nearly $16,000,000 was
expended by the union.

Local Union No. 753, Milk Wagon
Drivers of Chicago, was organized in
1901. For the first year they did not
average more than one hu9 Ired to
two hundred members At the pres
ent time their membership is $500.
This does not include $500 daily en-
ployes who have a separate charter
from the international union and
whose interests are closely linked
with drivers, as the dairy employees
do the bottling, washing, packing and
other work around the dairy, getting
the milk and cream ready for the
drivers whose wagons are loaded every
morning when they arrive for work.
While it is not compulsory for the
employers of the dairy employees to
grant the same increase to the latter
as that given the drivers, usually when
the drivers obtain an increase sim
liar increase is also granted the dairy
employees at the expiration of their
wage contract.
At the time the milk wagon driv-
ers began bargaining, the best paid
men were receiving $40 a week. To
day the minimum wage is $50 week
and the average wage for the entire
membership is about $50 a week, as
in addition to their wages the men
receive a bonus as well as commissions
in accordance with the amount OF
milk, cream and butter they distrib-
ute.

IMMIGRANTS DUMPED

that immigrants are being sent to AL

sion is made for their arrival, and
with a considerable unemployment
among unskilled labor they are thrown

PROPOSED LEGISLATION
TO BENEFIT ALIENS.

Legislation to permit aliens who
are in the United States without le-
gal status to apply for examination
with view of legalizing their resi-
dence is advocated by the commits
sioner of immigration, according to
information received by naturaliza-
ton officers in this section.
According to the local officials, the
commissioner of immigration re-
quests legislation to take care OF
resident aliens who have established
connections in the United States and
who, after a trip abroad, are unable
to re-enter because they were not
lawfully admitted at the time of
their original entry.
The commissioner says there
should be a bond of sympathy TO the
people who find themselves in sit
uation when they have formed con-
nections in this country from which
they cannot be separated without
great hardships.
