ed against acceptance of a wage cut
of 10 cents an hour.
The scale had expired May l and
the men had voted to demand an in

The bosses made a counter-proposal
of $1.10 an hour. This the men re-
jected by vote Of 1897 to 1872. Own

MENACE
Of Child Labor is National
Problem, Declares Green

Washington.-Child labor is men
ace to the future of our country,
said William Green, president of the
A. F. of L., in an address to the Child
Welfare Association.
The nation can not possess healthy
children in a full and complete de-
gree and at the same time permit
industry to employ children" he said.
I'VE cannot have child health and
child labor simultaneously. Child la
Dor is a national problem, and re-
quires the application of a national
solution. 1t should be dealt with
through the enactment of uniform
legislation and this can only be done
through the exercise of constitutional
authority conferred upon congress-"
Mr.. Green stated that more than
100000 children between 10 and Is
years old are working for wages and
between the ages of 10 and 18 at least
100000 are wage earners. These
estimated figures have increased, he
said, since the United States supreme
court declared the last federal child
labor law unconstitutional.
General debility, loss of weight and
an increase of sickness among chill
dren follow employment" he said.
I'VE must find a way to regularize
employment for adult wage earners
so they may obtain an interrupted
income sufficient to supply adequate
and wholesome food for their chill
dren."

CHILD LABOR IN
SOUTH OPPOSED

Memphis, Tenn.-In an address to
the Tennessee State Federation of
Labor convention, Secretary Thackery
of the Arkansas State Federation of
Labor, thrilled the delegates with his
appeal to protect child and women
labor
"The chivalry of the South" he said,
faces severe test the next 10 years
in protecting women and child workers
from exploitation by textile mills that
are lured to the cotton states by cheap
power and cheap labor.
"Two textile mills recently have To-
Gated in Arkansas. Deplorable condi-
tions are the result. Women and chill
dren work 101a hours a day for a
weekly wage of from So to 81. More
northern mills are moving to the
South. Southern women and children
can only look to organized labor to
protect them from conditions that
have always characterized the mill
toilers of New England"

WOMEN'S WAGE
is LOW; PAUPER
LINE REACHED

st. Paul.-The average weekly wage
for women and boys in this state was
$17.37 during 1925-26, according to
the Industrial commission of Mime
sofa.
Of the 33,784 women and boys COW
cred by the report, 3,457 received less
than $12 week; 9,440 received $12
and under SIS; 1858 received SIS
and under $40, while only 9,249 re-
ceived 500 week and over.
The Minneapolis Labor Review re-
minds its readers that the report does
not state to what extent the 33,784
wage earners invested their savings
in stocks and bonds"

LOCKOUTS NOT
NECESSARY

The British government amended
its anti-strike bill by making it un-
lawful for employers to lock out en-
ployes.
The amendment is meaningless. The
purpose of lockout is to make col
lective action impossible. If it is il
legal to cease work, the employer has
no need for the lockout.
Mussolini has made the same ges-
ture in Italy. He outlaws strikes and
sets wages by compulsory arbitration
Then he tells employers they can not
resort to the lockout.
This appeals to the unthingink, but
employers understand.

WILL UNION LABEL
BE FOUGHT NEXT?

New York.-The Electrical World
hints that the next attack on organ
lied labor will attempt to outlaw the
union label. This spokesman for en-
ploying interests says: Recent su-
preme court decisions under the Sher-
man antitrust law offer a precedent
for not. recognizing the efforts to la
Dor to put the union label on all
products"
Counsel for electrical manufacturers
it is stated, hold that any union label
agreement that applies to electrical
appliances "would constitute viola
ton of the antitrust laws by both
the unions and the contractors par
ticipating therein, and that contrac-
tors who connive or acquiesce would
be equally responsible under the law
Notwithstanding the fact that they
might not be the moving parties. The
belief has been expressed by several
men in the industry that should it
become established that electrical fix
lures must bear union label, there
would be no limit to the number of
commodities which will fall under the
same ban."
The significance of the above state
ment lies in the fact that the use of
the union label by organized cleo
trical workers affects the General
Electric Company. This powerful
trust is notoriously anti-union and
may be laying a groundwork for call
ing on the courts to protect its auto
cratic control of employees.

about revenge in certain cases, but it
is impossible to find it in the cold
and calculated killing of man by the
state. There is infinitely more of the
chilling cynicism and heartlessness of
a Borgia about it than anything else.
Sacco and Vanzetti, as two human
beings, are not very important. As
the possessors of two human lives
they are not very important, for echo
it as we will, human life is in reality
not very valuable, except in a some
what poetic and more or less abstract
sort of fashion.
But valueless as human life seems
to be, the machinery of justice can not
afford to admit the fact. 1t must
preserve the true values or suffer. 1t
must deal purely in justice or be
swept away, with fearful conse-
quences.
The Sacco-V -Vanzetti case has come
to be something in the way of test,
involving more than the lives of
these two men.

OREGON POPULAR LAW
SET ASIDE BY JUDGE

Portland, Ore.-A law, approved
by majority vote of 10000 in a
statewide referendum, means nothing
to Federal Judge McNary.
The law abolished fish wheels and
traps, and is intended to stop the fish
trust from destroying that industry.
The fish barons opposed the refer
endum, and when defeated found a
friend in the federal judge He has
temporarily set aside the act.

The Cherry
" Where with our
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fIippantl-.
sometimes rccklessly.

The case of Sacco and Vanzetti
brings the whole question of capital
punishment once more to the fore in
a most dramatic manner. Of course
it brings other questions, such as the
fallibility of the courts, to the fore,
but these are related intimately to the
question of capital punishment.
If the processes of the Massachu-
setts courts had gone their way with
out advantage having been taken of
every means for delay, Sacco and Van
zetti would have been dead long ago
slain by the old Bay State, in accord
with "due process of law"
Even now, the courts having passed
their final sentence, there is nothing
left for Sacco and Vanzetti except
to sit as calmly as they may in the
electric chair until they are lunged
forward by more electricity than any
human body can withstand Nothing
is left as far as the courts are con-
cerned. If the governor stops the
execution that is another matter.
Judicially speaking, it is not proven
that these two men are innocent. The
skirts of the court will be judicially
clear, because the forms of law have
been carried through
But society can not always afford
to rest it's case on mere legal forms
Morally there is another and much
more important aspect to the case.
The judge who tried the case has
been accused of having been bitterly
biased. That, if proven, destroys the
basis of fair trial In addition to
that, there is the gravest doubt, found
in the evidence itself, that the defend
ants are guilty. Thousands of Ameri-
cans believe they ara innocent. Thou
sands believe their trial was a farce in
which the two men were railroaded tc
conviction.
Thousands will never believe other
wise. If it is granted that this is
true and that the men are innocent
then the grim electric chair of Massa-
chusetts is rather serious mockery
in the business of melting out punish.
ment for crime.
There are two aspects to the capi-
tai punishment question. One has tc
do with the execution of innocent mer
Improperly convicted. The other has
to do with the question of whether
capital punishment is a really effective
deterrent for crime, even if no limo
cent men are ever executed.
In the light of modern knowledge
capital punishment seems to lose OF
both counts. Humanity has recog
nized this by steadily decreasing the
use of capital punishment.
In western frontier days cattle steal
ing was punished by death. In baron
ial days in England and Europe there
were thirty or more crimes punish
able by death.
Generally speaking only murder is
now punishable by death and in many
states and nations even. this limited
use of the law of "an eye for an eye
has been abolished
1t is the experience of society that
punishment in kind does not stol
crime and does not even decrease it.
If that is the case, then the only re
naming justification for legal execu
ton is ngeance-revenge.
There can be something majestic
