dog" contract.
President Hedley's notice to Green
was to the effect that the INTERIOR
ough company union had the contract
for two more years and any organi-
zing would result in an injunction to
forbid interference with an agree
ment.
1t is this contract that the Anal
gamated will test in the highest court.
Som interesting testimony is likely
to come out if the men can be induced
to relate how they have been made to
sign the documents, as many as 100
in an hour, although it takes nearly
that long for one man to read it's pro-
WILSON'S.
Those discharged for union activity
will be called to testify on the ''spot-
ter system" and the other activities
that have blocked every attempt to
organize the $4,000 workers of the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company.

WORK FOR WOMEN
SCARCE IN CHICAGO
BY International Labor News Service

BY International Labor News Service.
Chicago employment con-
ditions in Chicago are worse today
than at any time during the last ten
years, according to social workers
who specialize in finding positions for
girls and women who are strangers
in the city.
There is a constant stream of un-
skilled female workers pouring in
from neighboring cities and states
who find it practically impossible to
find employment here.
The supply of female workers for
domestic service and factory work
greatly exceed the demand. 1t is said
that a considerable number of expert
enced school teachers and trained
nurses are turning to domestic work
and maid service in order to meet
their living expenses.
There is said to be no shortage of
jobs for girls who are trained to fill
highgrade secretarial positions.

For the average town dweller the
summer seasons bring vacation
periods of varying lengths, ranging,
as rule, from week to a month.
The purpose OF any vacation is re-
creation-the re-making OF man
by giving him a change of scene, a
change Of activity. The best vaca-
ton is one which not only does
that, but is a combination of enter
tainment and education. In fact
we speak offhand Of well-educated
man and well-traveled person as
practically synonymous.

ways to really know Ohio is to visit

vailing in other parts of the country
In the Central group of states, ap-
plications of workers have averaged
167 for each 100 jobs. 1t is in this
section that the surplus Of labor seems
largest.
In the Eastern states applications
number 141 for each 100 jobs, while
in the South the proportion is reported
as 131 to 100. Taking the country as
whole the proportion is 1873 applica-
cants for each 100 jobs.
These data indicate the trend of
conditions and are not exact, it must
be remembered. 1t is certain that in
some localities of the East labor is
plentiful. But the data cited are be-
lieved to be representative of condi-
tions in large groups Of states. They
cannot be applied exactly to any
smaller territory.

FEWER JOBS
Now Than Last Year, Study
Indicates
By RALPH F.. COUCH

Washington, D. C.-Employment is
not quite as easily obtained this year
in most sections of the country as in
1926. Jobs are less plentiful than
workers except in the West. These are
the conclusions to be drawn from a
study of the data of the United States
Employment Bureau stations.
In the Western States there have
been approximately 68 applications by
workers for each 100 jobs thus far
this year. In this section, however
conditions Of employment seem to be
just the reverse of the situation pre-.

Illinois Mines Reopening

International officials have been ad-
vised that the New National Mine
at Belleville, H., has signed the old
scale and resumed work. The Illinois
district is gradually working its way
to a normal coal production
In Ohio the situation is regarded by
district and international officials as
very satisfactory. No mines have re-
sumed work on the "open shop" plan,
Notwithstanding a few injunctions
against local union and district of
ficials, and the efforts of certain oper-
ators to overthrow the United Mine
Workers by so-called company unions.
Southern Ohio operators were vocifer-
Gus in telling the world" that unless
the miners took reduction to "$5
a day" basis (Which on analysis
proved to be $2.75 to $4 day wage)
that the mines would reopen non
union July Is. This talk proved to be
a bluff, as not a mine has reduced a
pound of coal on the basis of wage
reduction.

wind is blowing in the matter of set
