Illinois Organized Labor
Alert to Block Fifth Drive
For State Constabulary Bill

The guards seize their weapons and
rush to the attacked bank upon sig
nal. AS result of the establishment
of this system bank robbers are giving
Illinois wide berth.
Some officers of organized labor
were rather skeptical when the town
guard system was first put forward,
but opposition was abandoned when
the officers of the Illinois Bankers
Association assured the officers of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor
that the town guards were for the
purpose of protecting the banks from
attack only and would not be used for
purposes.
In the last analysis, the sheriff of
each county controls the situation and
can be held accountable for the ac-
tions Of the town guards, who are
deputy sheriffs for a special duty
which is specified in their commits
sions.

UNIONISTS
OPPOSE u. S. TREATY

Washington.-Th Labor Fedora
tion of the Republic of Panama has
forwarded a protest against the
United State Panama treaty to Will
liam Green, president of the A. F.
of l.. and the Pan-American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The treaty has been signed by rep
resentatives of both countries and will
be passed upon by the two govern
ments.
According to the statement by Pan
anna trade unionists ''it is very aston
ishing" that a powerful nation like the
United States, with immense terri
tory and so many millions of inhab-
itants, desires to maintain in econom-
ic servitude and subjugation the peo-
pie of Panama" which is one of the
most generous nations of America and
which made possible the building of
the Panama Canal by the United
States for the benefit of the world"

FILM SHOWS BENEFIT
To Women From Good
Working Conditions

By International Labor News Service
Washington, d. Good conditions
of employment for women workers
mean good health and good business
according to a slide film just released
and ready for circulation by the wom-
ans bureau, of the United States de-
partment of labor.
The film, designed for use in a stere-
opticon machine, is a popular presen-
tation of standard working conditions
for women. The pictures illustrating
these standards were taken in pro-
gressive factories during working
hours and depict actual women oper-
atives. The scenes, which are pre-
ceded by brief and catchy explanatory
titles, portray such good workroom
features as modern and scientific
methods of lighting; ventilating sys-
TENS for the regulation of heat and
humidity; comfortable seats adjusted
to the work and the worker; and safe
ty devices for the prevention of acci-
dents.
The good service facilities advocat-
ed for women workers, as shown in
the film, include sanitary bubble foun-
tains; wash room supplying hot
water, soap, and individual towels;
lunch room where hot, nourishing
food can be secured at noon; a clean
toilet room equipped with installa-
tions on the basis of one for every Is

MERCHANTS ARE
PAWNS FOR Co.'S
SACK FRIENDS

ST. Paul, Minn.-Country merchants
are used as stalking horses to jam a
Cossack bill through the state legis-
lature. These small business men de-
mand protection from robbers.
Cossack opponents make the point
that robbing stores in cities is not
unknown, despite trained detectives.
SIN the face of this fact" says the
Minnesota Union Advocate, "what
could. few scattered military police
do to diminish crime against prop
erty?
"At the very lowest estimate it will
cost $250,000 to form the nucleus of
a state constabulary This would be
only sprinkling. The presence of
the Cossacks would not be felt in
ordinary cases. They would only be
used for special purposes, such as put
ting across some lawless enterprise
when the peoples rights art to be
suppressed"

Advocates Of Cooper Bill
Fight to Obtain Vote on
Measure in Present House

By International Labor News Service
Washington, ID. CA last-minute
fight is under way by advocates of
the Cooper bill, under which state laws
providing for the branding of prison
made goods would become operative,
in an attempt to bring the measure
to vote in the house before the end
of this session of congress.
A canvass indicates that the bill
will be passed if it can be brought up
on the floor of the house.
The only obstacle standing in the
way of the measure coming up for a
vote is the house rules committee,
where opposition to the bill has cen
tered it's obstructionist tactics. An
effort is under way to obtain an i'm
mediate hearing before the rules COM
mittee on the proposal to move it be-
for the house.

Trade Union Representatives Refute Assertions
Made By Secretary Of Massachusetts Legisla-
ture Special Committee, Following Alleged
Investigation.

labor and worked against the best in
terests of the injured workers.
This criticism of the Ohio state
fund was apparently accepted without
any further investigation as all of
the commissions joined in that por-
ton of the report.
However, when the representatives
of labor under the leadership of John
Van Vaerenewyck, president of the
State Federation of Labor, Vice Presi-
dents Gatelee and Murphy, and Presi-
dent Frey, of the Ohio Federation of
Labor, had presented their evidence
and had concluded their arguments
the members of the judiciary commit
tee frankly admitted that the investi-
cation supposedly made by McCaffrey
consisted of someone handing McCaf-
frey some facts" which he was only
too willing to believe irrespective of
their accuracy.
McCaffrey's Report Refused
Vice President Gatelee, who is also
business agent of the Springfield Mo-
tion Picture Operators Union, proved
to the satisfaction of the members of
the committee that during the time
McCaffrey was supposedly making an
investigation of the Ohio State fund
for the Massachusetts commission he
was actually employed by the Nation
al Municipal League in New York
city. 1t was shown that while it may
be true that McCaffrey imposed upon
the special commission and got it to
accept and to sponsor a report which
was false and misleading, the mem
bers of the special commission were
aware of the fact that at no time had
they authorized or expended one dol
lar for McCaffrey's expenses in or to
any part of the state of Ohio. This
should have been enough to have had
some member of the commission
question the accuracy of the supposed
facts submitted by McCaffrey, but ap-
John P. Frey, president of the Ohio
Federation of Labor, represented
President William Green at the hear
ings. President Frey, who is recog-
nized as one of the leading experts in
the country on workmen's compensa-
ton, presented very telling argu-
ment to the committee. He also di-
rected attention to the many false and
misleading statements contained in
the report in so far as it related to
the workings of the Ohio state fund.
Figures False, Says Frey
Quoting from the recent audit of
the Ohio state fund, President Frey
showed that the figures contained in
the report submitted by the special
commission to the legislature were
false and misleading. In fact, as one
member of the judiciary committee
remarked, "it looked very much as
though the report were prepared by
some insurance lobbyist and handed
to Secretary McCaffrey who in turn
handed it to the members of the spe-
cial commission as the findings Of an
investigation which he personally
made"
Representatives of labor held the
floor for some four hours, each speak
er discussing points not touched upon
by the others.
The opposition consisted of but one

Chicago. in the last four
sessions of the Illinois general assem-
bly,, the Illinois Manufacturers Asso-
citation will make fifth attempt to
put across a state constabulary bill
at the present session. Indications
are, however, that the measure has
less chance of becoming a law now
than ever before, but the officers of
the Illinois State Federation of La
Dor, John H. Walker, president, and
Victor A. Olander, secretary-treas-
urer, are taking no chances and are
prepared to fight the bill vigorously.
Proponents of the measure never
have been able thus far to convince
the Illinois legislature that state
constabulary force would be worth its
cost. The legislators base this con-
clusion upon facts and figures obtain
ed from other states which have tried
the experiment, as in Colorado, where
it seems certain that the state ranger
law will be repealed by the time this
story reaches the readers of the labor
press, according to letter received
by John H. Walker from Earl H.
Hoage, president of the Colorado
State Federation of Labor
Doubts Value of Constabulary
Il am afraid that the system, in
stalled in Illinois, would not make the
cities safe for banking, nor the coun-
try safe for Chickens" said Andrew
S. Cuthbertson, member of the Illinois
Legislature, in letter to Walker,
Cuthbertson further said:
If one-half the effort were exerted
by the interests which favor the state
police bill to revise the criminal code
so that violators of the law would be
speedily sent to prison and kept there,
it would be much greater contribu-
tion to law and order"
Town Guard System is Proving
Effective
Advocates of a state constabulary
system were deprived of one of their
most telling arguments when the Hi
nois Bankers Association established
a town guard system throughout the
state for the purpose of combating
bank robbers. These town guards,
three to a half dozen or more in the
small communities, are deputized by
the sheriffs and armed by the bankers
for duty against bank robbers only.
The homes and places of business of
the town guards are connected by
buzzer system with the local banks.

Filibuster is threatened on the
house floor by opponents of the meas
use, including representatives Of the
"Prison Trust" if the effort is carried
through to force it to a vote. The
rules committee is anxious to avoid
any such contingency in the last days
of congress.
While this attitude of the rules
committee may have the effect of bar
ring action on the bill, advocates of
the measure have not by any means
lost hope. They will push the fight
until congress adjourns.
The situation, in any event, is en-
couraging to organized labor, presag-
ing, as it does, almost certain passage
Of the measure at the next session of
congress. Sentiment for the bill in
congress and throughout the country
is reported stronger than ever before.
