RIGHT TO MARKET
SITE IS QUESTIONED
Roberts Holds Transfer to
Treasury Must Have Ap-
provaI of Congress.

Holding that the District would not
be authorized to turn the Farmers
Market property over to the Federal
Government for any other purpose
without congre ssional legislation,
George NJ. Roberts, superintendent of
weights and measures, recommended
to the Commissioners today that the
Treasury Department be informed it
is impossible to state definitely when
the property can be vacated.
The superintendent suggested that
the Commissioners explain to the
Treasury Department, however, that
they expect to submit to Congress in
December a recommendation for a
new Farmers Market, together with
application for authority to vacate the
present space, which the Federal Gov
eminent is anxious to get possession
of in order to begin work on the new
Internal Revenue Building.
The Commissioners probably will
take up the recommendations of Mr..
Roberts at a board meeting Friday
before answering the letter received
last week from James A. Wetmore,
supervising architect. in which he in
quired how soon the farmers market
could be vacated.
Report to Commissioners.
In his report to the Commissioners
today, Supt. Roberts points out that
"the ground upon which the market
ia located was turned over to the
District by an act of Congress APP
proved May 20, 1870. to hold and use
as a market" tThe superintendent
says that from the statutes and the
opinions rendered last year by the
corporation counsel 1T appears i'm.
possible to reach any conclusion
other than that the ground in ques-
ton cannot be lawfully taken and
devoted to other than market pur-
poses without future legislation by
Congress granting authority so to do.
This market proposition affects
a large number of people both in and
out of the District, and has, as is we'll
known, aroused much public interest.
II is of greater Importance than might
be readily suspected and, in my opin.
ion, should be handled carefully. An,
agreement for demolition of the mar
ket at this time without awaiting ac.
ton by Congress might result in un-
favorable reaction.
II realize that from one viewpoint
it might be desirable to vacate the
ground, but the Commissioners under
took at last session of Congress to OBJ
Gin legislative authority to relieve
the situation in an orderly way and,
as stated, Congress refused to grant it
at that time.
Would Cause Inconvenience.
SHOULD they now go ahead and
do that which Congress refused them
permission to do, especially at a time
when it would create much dis
turbance?"
Mr.. Roberts tells the Commissioners
that if the Farmers Ma sket is vacated
soon, before another location is ac-
quired, much inconvenience and
probably much loss to farmers would
result. He said he knew of no place
in the vicinity where the business can
be taken care of temporarily and in
his opinion the market would be prac-
tically destroyed by any attempt to
move it temporarily TO distant
location.

DEMAND THE UNION LABEL

Many merchants throughout the
state are commenting upon the fact
that there is a greater demand than
ever for merchandise bearing the I'm
ion Label. This is encouraging and
the demand should be augmented un-
til every union man and woman and
their families call for products that
are made under sanitary conditions,
by union men and women who receive
a reasonable wage for their work.
Sweatshop garments are a menace
to the wearer. The same applies to
tobacco made in unsanitary surround
ings. In fact, every article that does
not bear the Union Label spells dis
tress to some worker. He is in the rut
and must take any sum the employer
cares to give him. These same fel-
lows are helped by the organized la
Dor movement. The moment a union
worker receives a raise in wages the
non-union employe profits to a small
degree But the non-unionist stands in
his own shadow, afraid to demand a
decent wage.
Let us demand the Union Label on
everything we buy and by that means
receive a better made product at no
higher price. We can load the shelves
of the merchants of the state with
Union Made goods if we but call for
them. He receives the same profit or

WHY THE INJUNCTION?

A handful of federal injunctions
have been issued against the striking
coal miners. The miners are ordered
mot to interfere" with interstate
commerce.
If they threaten or intimidate ''free
and Independents" everyone knows
they violate statutory law and can be
arrested. But they can't be convict
ed on the word of the coal owners
or ponsible thugs or manufactur-
ed evidence. The guilt must be proven
and the miners are assumed to be
innocent until the contrary is proven.
This process is too slow for the
coal owners. They want quick action,
even at the cost of constitutional
rights. So they ask for an injunction
from federal judge, who can not
be reached by the people. Then they
tell the court that the miners have
'interfered" with employees, and the
miners are ordered before the Judge
who commands them to prove their
innocence.
If the Judge happens to have his
ideas of strikes or if he is a graduated
corporation counsel, the miners are
fined or jailed.
The burden of proof is always on
the worker If no strike exists the
burden of proof is on the accuser
and conviction takes time.

TROLLEY TRAFFIC
SHOWS GAIN


BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. C.--Principal cleo
trio street railways of the U. S. this
year are carrying an average of 1885,
$4,000 passengers monthly, which is
larger traffic than was recorded
last year. In 1926 traffic averaged
792,790,000 passengers, monthly, or
6,146,00 less than this year.
The electric railways are beginning
to recover from the competition of the
motor car, it is indicated. During the
last 10 years, the increasing use of
the automobile by persons travelling
from the residential to the business
districts of all large cities has cut
deeply into the business of the street
car companies.
The situation is now, however, tax
ing on an aspect more favorable to
the companies.

Heavy Losses Through
Failure to Make viii

Only third of the people who
died last year in the United States
left wills, points out Hugh Fuller
ton in an article in Liberty. "About
1,425,000 persons died in the United
States last year." says the article.
"Fewer than So per cent of them
made wills, although they left bill
lions of dollars in savings and in
surance. And if the great estates,
protected by lawyers and established
trusts, be eliminated from the COM
putation, it is calculated that not
more than 40 per cent of the prop
erty left reached those dependents
for whom the deceased wished to
make provision.
"Iess than five years from now,
according to insurance Statistics"
the writer continues, 'the great bulk
OF these estates will have been en-
tirely dissipated. These statistics
have shown that the average estate
disappears within four and a half
years after the death of the pos
SCISSOR.
"Of the wills left by the 35 per
cent who leave them, not half are
made properly; and a great percent
age of those properly made cannot
be carried out successfully, due to
unexpected changes of condition"

OHIO COMPENSATION LAW

Organized labor of Ohio had long
and hard struggle before it was able
to have a workmen's compensation
law written upon the statute books.
1t required consistent efforts of the
labor forces until it finally secured
its passage, but not without the al
most united opposition of the em
ployers of labor, and the solid oppo-
sition of the private insurance COM
panies It's enemy had not ceased It's
attack on the law, and at every ses
sion of the legislature made an efforr
to weaken it, but without success.
The compensation law was not long
in operation until the benefits Of its
worth was proven.
The law was faithfully administer
ed by the industrial commission which
recognized the humanitarian aspect,
as well as recognized that safety IS
better than compensation. The com
mission faithfully put forth efforts
to protect workmen by compelling
employers to use every possible safe
ty device, which has, in itself, re
duced accidents to minimum.
The Ohio workmen's compensation
fund has grown, and is in healthy
condition, as a result of the safe
guards installed, protecting life and
limb of the wage earners.
The law has taken industrial acci-
dents out of the courts, and has paid
compensation to injured workmen
and their families.
The recent announcement of the
industrial commission, of reduction
in the premium rate, has met the
hearty approval of every citizen
Former hostile employers would to-
day resist any attempt to re-establish
the private insurance system.
Labor has again proven its judg-
ment as sound economically.
With the successful operation OF
workmen's compensation labor can de-
vote its time to another humanitar-
ian movement, namely, the establish
ment of an old age pension. Let US
hope that the time is not far distant
when we can remove the fear of
every tojler, and give assurance that
he will be secure in his declining
years, when he is no longer able to
produce-Ex.
