JA| ALA| NEW
 CHICAGO SPORT

CHICAGO, Oct 3i-Mayor Will liam Hale Thompson. who brought Chicago it's first heavy weight championship boxing match, is the unofficial sponsor for the introduction here of a brand new sport, jai alai, pro nounced "hi-li"
 Jai alai is the national sport of Spain and several other Spanish speaking countries, notably Cuba and some of the South American republics.
 It follows somewhat the lines of tennis and handball, or rac- quets, except that the players wear costa, or basket, on their throwing hand, and it partakes of the speed of those games. A jai alai stadium is being built close by one of the most popular north side cabarets, whose proprietors are the financial packers of the project.
 It is planned to bring forty players, recruited in the Basque provinces of Spain, here for the games. Bonds will be filed with the immigration authorities to cover their proposed stay of six months. They will arrive about December 1.
 The mayor saw games on a Mississippi river trip to New Or leans and became an enthusiast of the sport. !. s. Markstein and F. V. Serafin, who manager jai alai games in New Orleans, will conduct their exhibitions here.

FAKE WAGE BOOST
Rejected By San Francisco
Building UniOnists

San Francisco.-Organiz build
ing craftsmen reject wage award of
a so-called impartial wage board
The increase is "sop," say the
unionists, who point to it's approval
by the anti-union Industrial Associa-
ton.
Organized Labor, official paper of
the building craftsmen, refers to it's
prediction that the board lacked the
courage to raise wages to the stand
ards of other cities.
There is no substitute for the
union." says the labor paper. "That
is emphasized by the decision. In all
other cities of the country wages Of
building mechanics are from 81 to So
per day more than in San Francisco
"The high wages in other cities
were established by the unions
through collective bargaining with
employers. in San Francisco the
right Of collective bargaining is de-
MED the workers through the impair
tial wage board and the Industrial
Association.
I'm other large cities merchants
are enjoying great prosperity as the
result of high wages secured through
collective bargaining. In San Fran
cisco merchants say business is 'bad."

TEN-HOUR LAW
For Women Is Ignored In
South

Washington.-The Mississippi law
that limits the work day for women
to 10 hours is 33 per cent ineffective,
according to study of working con-
ditions in that state by the bureau of
labor statistics.
"Over one-third of the women en-
ployed in the plants surveyed were
expected to put in a regular working
day longer than 10 hours" the report
states.
The weekly wage for white women
in the plants visited averaged $3.50
and negro women averaged $5.75 and
$3.50.
'In resepct to plant conditions, also,
there was much to be desired. Too
many plants were reported with no
washing facilities, or with equipment
that was inadequate, with no towels.
In not far from one-fourth of the
establishments common drinking cups
were found, while in others no cups
were provided. Toilet room conditions
were frequently most unsatisfactory
and in number of cases the equip
ment was Inadequate"
