DIVISION
OF Average Industrial Re-
ceipts Shown

By International Labor News Service
Washington, d. C.-Twenty-six per
cent is the margin on which the manu-
featuring plants of the United States
operation the average.
That is the average amount which
the manufacturer has left after pay
ing for his materials and his wage
bill, according to data collected by the
United States census bureau. From
26 cents out of each one dollar re-
ceived for his product, the manufac-
turer must pay his overhead, taxes.
sales expense and interest on borrow
ed money before collecting his profit
Wages take about II cents out of
each dollar received by the manufac-
turer, while 81 cents is expended for
materials.
The census bureau data from which
these proportions were derived were
collected in an investigation that COW
cred the entire United States and
which was so comprehensive that il
required many months work on the
part of the official agents. Every line
of manufacturing was covered and re.
ports were received from every manu-
featuring plant in the United States
with an output of $4,000 year ol
more

HUGE GAINS
In Industrial Output Since
Period Prior to
World War
By RALPH F. COUCH


Washington, D. C.-Gains in the
quantity of industrial output in the
United States since the period just
prior to the opening of the World
War are revealed in a study of the
newest census of manufactures made
by the United States government.
The chemical industry has virtually
doubled the quantity of it's total out
put. The iron and steel industry ranks
next with a gain of Sc per cent. Then
come the products of tobacco factories
which are being produced in volume
approximately 63 per cent greater
than in 1914.
The United States is producing 43
per cent more of manufactured food
products and % per cent more tex
tile products despite the present
backwardness of that industry.
In the leather industry, output vol
ume shows an advance of z per cent
while the lumber industry is produc-
ing approximately per cent addi-
tional. These represent the gains in
lines that were we'll established as
principal industries in 1914.
The automobile industry in that
year was just beginning to show its
head among the important lines OF
manufacturing It's increase in output
since 1914 shows a gain of 428 pei
cent. The allied industry, rubber, ha:
increased output 397 per cent.

PRINTING TRADES
Plan New Dress for Union
Label
By international Labor News Service.

By international Labor News Service.
New York City.-The union print
ers' label is going to get new dress.
For many years the printing trades
have been aware that the union label
which distinguishes many books, PAM
phlets, and other printed material as
being made in accordance with fair
work standards is not satisfactory
either in design or usefulness. The
label showing where the article was
printed quickly becomes undecipher-
able.
The label committee of "Big 6" and
the Allied Printing Trades Council
have launched movement for label
that will be a work of art, fit for the
best printing.
"The label in its present shape is a
relic of antiquity" says the commit
tee in its report. after being in use
for a short time it is hardly readable.
AS members of the art preservative
of all arts we should at least have
a respectable trademark instead of
one that we are continually apologize
ing for.
GAS means for rectifying this
state of affairs orders have been given
to encourage the use of new labels in
the future. AS to the design, after
placing our complaint before the Off
GERS of the Allied Trades Council, we
were informed that complaints have
been coming in from all the printing
trades union and that the Interna-
tional Printing Trades Council was go
ing to seriously consider the question
at its next convention in June"

STRIP Mine
Operators Make Agreement
With Union

By international Labor News Service.
indianapolis, Ind. - An agreement
has been reached between the United
Mine Workers of America, District
IL, Indiana, and the Indiana Coal
Producers Association, representing
the stripping mine operators of the
state, on the basis of the Jacksonville
scale. The agreement is for a period
of two years. The tonnage produced
by strip pit workings is about 20 per
cent of the states coal production.
Fred S. Mcconnell, president of the
operators, and Harvey Cartwright
and William Mitch, president and sec
retary of the district union, were the
chiefs in the negotiations, assisted by
a subcommittee of miners and opera
tors. The contract was renewed with
only slight changes in the wording in
respect to working conditions.
Conditions in the bituminous mine
fields, following suspension of work
April 1, are unchanged. Negotiations
of separate agreements in many of
the districts with operators who de-
sire to keep their mines running dur
ing the final adjustment of the wage
proposition in the central competitive
field are being announced from day to
day.
Ohio miners and operators have
thus far failed to get together. There
! are perhaps 5000 men working in
Ohio and about $4,000 idle.
! The big fight against the union is
being conducted in the Pittsburgh
district where the Pittsburgh Coal
i Company, the largest organization of
its kind in the country, is battling to
break the union. The miners, how
ever, have made serious inroads on
the company's production, despite the
importation of scab labor and gun
men.

CUNMEN CAN'T
CHECK MINERS

Charleston, w. Va.-Hordes of gun
men that are flooding northern West
Virginia fields is proof that the union
miners are gaining ground in that
section.
Production has been curtailed in
practically every mine and mass meet
ings are largely attended by non
unionists who are awake to the pur-
poses of the company union"
The unionists maintain close check
on loaded cars, and find that the oper-
ators are attempting to weaken en-
thusiasm for the union by counting
cars twice, and then announcing "in.
creased production"

TRADES COUNCIL

The COOPERATIVE Trades and Labor
Council met Tuesday night in regular
session. President Ed. Sims presided
and thirty delegates were present
A communication from the Anal
gamated Lithographers' Union No.
18, Of Baltimore, Md, in which they
state that movement is on in that
city to disrupt the union. The firms
who are guilty of locking out their
employees manufacture bottle crowns.
They request that we write them.
Received and ordered complied with.
The report of the Ohio State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor on House Bill No. 80
was read, received and filed.
Frank Vaughn, representing the
Community Chest drive, was allowed
the floor and gave the delegates a
brief outline of the chest drive. On
motion the Community Chest drive
was endorsed.
Murry, Huffman and Schwab, newly
elected delegates from the Building
Laborers' Union, were admitted to
the meeting as visitors. They will be
installed at the next meeting.
The financial secretary again re-
ported that four Of the affiliated
unions still owe for bazaar tickets.
On motion the president of coun-
Gil was ordered to appoint the Labor

the same at the next meeting of
Trades Council.

Economy has become the watchword
not only of industry but every other
activity in life. Every possible effort
is being made to eliminate duplication
of action and endeavor and the de-
votion of time and energy to the ac-
complishment of some fixed purpose
without a continuous duplication in
reaching the end desired.
And so in the organization of the
Hamilton Community Chest, one of
the things mostly sought is economy
economy of action, economy of
effort, economy of results attained.
The result has been that twelve
campaigns have been united in one,
SO that the needless effort expended
in twelve different endeavors might
be united in one effort that all might
be served
AS result of this plan the people
of Hamilton and vicinity are asked
to make, twelve donations to worthy
causes, but to make them at one time
and through buts one agency-the
Community Chest.
Many who had been in the habit
of giving to every worthy cause that
presented itself, have failed to real
ize that in the Community Chest they
are still giving to these various causes
and purposes, but still are asked to
give but once.
Another praiseworthy feature of
the Community Chest, in it's united
effort, is that the subscriber to it's
fund can designate to what particu-
lar agency his contribution should
go. If he has some one or two agen-
cies who benefit through the Com

SACCO-VANZETTI
Inquiry Asked By Rabbi
Wise

BY International Labor News Service.
New York City.-Declaring that to
execute Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti without a review of their
conviction would be judicial murder,
DR.. Stephen S. Wise, noted rabbi of
the Free Synagogue, asked members
of the synagogue to join with him in
petitioning Governor Fuller, of Mas
sachusetts, for the appointment of an
impartial commission to investigate
the case. He said:
81 do not claim Sacco and Vanzetti
are innocent. | merely maintain they
have not been proved guilty, and that
steps be taken before it is too late to
pass upon their guilt or innocence. ]
do not ask that Sacco and Vanzetti
be pardoned. ask that their case be
reviewed. 1t has never been reviewed
save in a technical sense. Let their
fate be determined upon the basis of
fair judicial impartial review"
Touching on the question of having
Governor Fuller review the proceed
ings in the case, Rabbi Wise said:
care the courts so weak that there
may be no lawful review of their acts
without weakening their authority
The lawless thing in this hour is to
set up a doctrine of judicial infalli-
bility and to maintain that because OF
it there shall be no resort to the legal
means of review which the law pro.
vides.
"There has been such things in the
past as judicial murder. Despite the
seeming paradox of this term a judi
cial murder is committed when in q
court room the forms of law are OBJ
served and the substance of justice OF
equity is ignored. Such things have
happened, and they happen when pas.
sion and prejudices are so aroused as
to enter the sanctity of the court
room which is peopled by humans ane
not divinities."

UNIONISTS MAY SPEAK

New York.-Trade unionists may

the substance of an order by Supreme
Court Justice Ford in vacating a con-

vogel to jewelry firm in this city.
The head of the firm admitted that
he discharged members of the Jewelry
Workers Union, and his attorney
pleaded that if the unionists were not
guilty of an overt act, "the injunction
would not hurt them" Judge Ford
said the temporary injunction was
based upon perjured affdavits, and

BABIES GALORE
Born at Mercy Hospital
During April

The maternity department of Mercy
Hospital feels quite proud of its
record for April-the books showing
record of 88 babies born during the
thirty days of last month. This num-
ber shows an increase of 10 over last
December, the month holding the rec
ord banner.
Though so very busy the service
rendered by the supervisors and stu
dent body was excellent. Many pa
tients asked to stay several days
longer than usual because they felt
they were having real rest, and
baby was getting such excellent care.
