the distinction that a we'll dressed

pleased to hear Edith Groves of

able news matter to the labor press,
but, as important as that may be, it
fulfills still higher function, which
is to put across the news and views
OF the labor movement in such a man.
ner that they will be read and acted
on. The consolidated power of the
American labor press thus handled is
of incalculable value and has possi-
bilities that only few have dreamed
of thus far.
Having correspondent on the
spot who is an experienced writer and
who understands the labor movement
makes matters easy for the busy trade
union officer. The correspondent calls
on the union officer, converses briefly,
goes about his business, and in few
days a good newspaper story has been
printed in labor papers scattered over
the entire continent, all the way from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from
Canada to Mexico Such big results
from so little time and effort are ex-
tremely worth while to any trade
union or trade union officer.
Urges Union Cooperation
"The efforts of yourself and col
leagues of International Labor News
Service should receive the cooperation
of all trade unions, trade union Off
GERS and friends and sympathizers.
My intimate knowledge of the situa-
ton leads me to believe that better
financial support is the prime neces-
sity. With more funds the news serv-
ice can employ more men and cover
more territory, and, incidentally, ade-
quately compensate those already en-
gagged in this laudable undertaking,
which latter obligation is not properly
cared for now

INDIANA LECISLA-
TURE
Increases Payments For
Compensation

By International Labor News Service
Indianapolis, Ind-An amendment
to the workmen's compensation law,
increasing weekly indemnities from
$500 to $1650, has been passed by
the Indiana assembly. The bill was
sponsored by the Indiana Federation
of Labor, and while the original form
of the bill was changed considerably,
labor is satisfied with the provisions
as now written. The minimum allow
able was changed from $3.50 week
to $3.50.
Senator Nejdl, who represents the
steel district of Indiana, worked for
the bill, and in reply to critics of or
ganized labor said "labor should be
complimented instead of criticized for
making this country of hope" for
the laboring man.
Senators representing farmers
constituency were against the bill.
Farmers who opposed the measure
were advised to take notice of organ
lied labor "and follow in its footsteps
if they expected to get anywhere.

Among the evidence submitted was
the testimony of communists that
they gave carte blanche to an attor-

industrial squad, and even all the Off

so that the authorities would be on
the side of the strikers"
Among the activities of these com

their rule of violence. Their alliance
with the police was not suspected un-

Combination of Incalculable
Value, Orlander Points Out

Chicago.-The consolidated power
of the American labor press, as han
died through such an agency as Inter
national Labor News Service. is of
lncalculable value and should be made
greater use of, according to Victor
A. Olander, secretary treasurer of the
international Seamen's Union of
America, and ecretary-treasurer of
the Illinois State Federation of Labor.
Mr.. Olander gave expression to his
views in letter written to Joseph A.
Wise, staff correspondent, on the third
anniversary of the opening of regular
correspondence between Chicago and
publications affiliated with the News
Service.
Urges Better Financial Support
Mr.. Olander also says that the News
Service has possibilities that only a
few have dreamed of thus far and
that better financial support should
be given in order that more men may
be employed and more territory COW

The letter in full is as follows:

TRICKED
Porto Ricans Want to Re-
turn Home

Phoenix, Aria delegation of rs
Porto Ricans who were tricked to
come to this country by Arizona cot
ton growers, made personal appeal
to Governor Hunt to send them home.
The governor said this was the fifth
group of these people who have asked
him for aid.
Spokesman for the Porto Ricans ex-
planned that they have been unable to
obtain work in the valley and that
they are without food and shelter. The
state has no funds to care for them,
and in a letter to the Cotton Grow
ers' Association, the governor said:
GAS | understand it the cotton asso-
citation brought these people into the
valley through some sort of an ar
rangement with the federal immigra-
ton department. Please try to con-
ciliate the situation in some manner
that will assure that these people are
not allowed to go hungry. AS you
know, the public will not stand for
the complaints of any considerable
number of people who are asking for
food"

BELOW LIVING COSTS
Is Real Workers Wage, De-
clares Church Confer
ence

Washington.-Basing it's claim on
reports issued by the interstate com
merce commission, the National Cath
olic Welfare Conference denies that
railroad employees, as whole, enjoy
prosperity through high wages.
The Weekly Bulletin of the N. C.
w. c. states that 435,O00 employees of
the Class l roads are paid less than
500 a month. This is equal to $3.50
a month before the war. The $1OO
rate does not include messenger boys
paid $50 month and apprentices and
telephone girls who average $50 a
month.
The 435,O00 workers comprise one-
fourth of all Class l employees and
include "a very few thousand" women
and comparatively few boys in their
late teens.
The interstate commerce commits
sion's report further reveals that
215,000 men are paid an average un-
der $75 month; 100000 employees, an
average of under $50 month, and
385, 900 under $85 month.
"Over 40 per cent of the railroad
employees make under $125 month.
Making $50 month now is the same
as making $46 before the war. Max
ing $85 month now is the same as
making about $40 before the war;" the
Bulletin states.
