ROBERT DONNELLY

Robert Donnelly, Columbus, young
est son of Thomas j. Donnelly, sec
retary of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor, was killed at Chillicothe
Monday, when the automobile in
which he was riding collided with
another car. Burial took place at
Columbus, Wednesday afternoon. The
large attendance at the funeral, the
great profusion of floral offerings and
the hundreds of expressions of sym
pathy in kilograms from all over the
state and country attest the popular
ity of this young man and the esteem
in which his parents are held.
1t was with much regret and deep
sorrow that the news of young Don
nelly's death was received in local
labor circles Monday evening and
Tuesday. The heartfelt sympathy of
all Hamilton organized labor is ex-
tended Mr.. and Mrs. Donnelly in this,
their hour of deepest sorrow.

LAW, CRIME AND JUDGES

Judges are getting lot of criticism
Crime and criminals are getting lot
of attention.
All of this is deserved. But it is
not all intelligent. Some is hard
boiled and reactionary. Some is blith-
ering idiocy. Some is just innocent
maudlin moonshine.
New York's Baumes laws, which
give life terms to repeaters, are hailed
as the cure for crime. This, that ard
the other are hailed as cures. The
cure is yet to come.
Baumes laws drive criminals into
other States. Crooked judges let lots
of crimes get by, particularly crimes
committed by and for big money.
Few are seeking a way to get at
the causes of crime. Meanwhile iails
get fuller and lawmakers go on put
ting more laws on the books for more
people to break.
We are many years from anything
like solution of the bigger and bet
ter crime problem. - International

AVERAGE WAGES PAID


Statistics show what we have known
they would show and must show
American wages lead the world.
American production leads the
world; that's why our wages are high
est.
Samuel Gompers said years ago that
American workers Sin the aggregate
and per individual produce more than
the workers in any other country"
Gompers knew what he was talk
ing about-he saw it years before the
plodding census department suspected
the truth and long before most trade
unionists thought about it.
But here is another side of the pic
ture. Gompers saw this, too. Wages
are paid for work done, which means
they are paid for products created
American production leads the
world in volume. American wages can
and must keep going up. There is no
other way to national industrial safe
ty. If wages do not keep going UP
something pretty sad will happen to
our factories.
American wages are called high;
wait ten years more and see what
goes into the envelope then.

WORKERS SHOULD SAVE?

Orrin C. Lester, vice president o.
the Bowery Savings Bank, New Yorl
City, is alarmed at the number o.
economic illiterates" in this coun
try.
We are a great people, to boast ir
aggregates" he said, "yet of the S89,.
O6O,0O0,000 annual income of the
American public we find that only
$1,000 per family is the saving. The
biggest economic problem is to have
the average American family get
enough together to provide for COM
mon needs when age and other causes
halt steady income production.
The banker assumes every producer
has an income that will permit him
to get together" an amount neces-
sary to protect him in old age.

HUMAN WASTE INCREASES

Industrial accidents are increasing
because employers consider their re-
sponsibility has been met when they
carry compensation insurance.
This is one of the findings of the
Committee on Safety and Production
of the American Engineering Coun-
Gil, following study of the relation
ship between industrial safety and
production. Data was secured in 1925
from more than $4,000 companies,
employing 100000 workers or ap-
proximately one-fourth of the coun-
try's industrial employees.
The engineers state that many in
dustrial executives have not given to
accident prevention that degree of
attention and direction that its eco
nomic and humanitarian significance
warrants"
The rate of accident severity per
man hour was 2.5 per cent higher in
1925 than in 1922 and minor accidents
account for a larger amount of pro-
ductiye time and value lost than is
generally recognized.

old-time faces of union men on Labor

BREAD TRUST DENTED, BUT
The Bakery and Confectionery
Workers International Union is the
only labor organization that ever made
a real dent in an anti-union trust
Two years ago William B. Ward, the
Bread King" announced the forma-
tion of colossal two-billion dollar
Bread Trust to control the baking in
dustry throughout the country. 1t was
the biggest industrial combination
ever attempted-twice as big as the
Steel Trust and five times as big as
the Beef Trust.
1t was bitterly anti-union. So the
Bakery Workers Union opened fire.
Backed by the American Federation
of Labor and with the expert assist
ance of the Peoples Legislative
League, it exposed the enormous men,
ace of this monster consolidation to
all the American people. Congress
was aroused. The Department of Jus
tice was finally forced into action.
Through the courts this Trust was
forced to split up into three parts
and the danger both to consumers and
the workers was thus reduced two
thirds. The Bread Trust stocks were
smashed down two hundred fifty mil
lion dollars.
though the Bread Trust was
broken into three parts, each of these
fragments is a huge corporation,
large enough to dominate the industry
and crush the Bakery Workers Union.
So the fight must go on until it is
settled right
Every union man and woman can
help in this fight. Refuse to buy Ward

NEED FOR ORGANIZATION

The U. S. department of labor re-
ports that textile workers are work
ing more hours per day and getting
lower wages than before.
The survey producing, this conclu-
sion covered 10000 employees in 112
wooden mills in eight states and
$4,000 employees in 151 cotton mills
in II states.
This shows what employers, even
in 1927, will do to workers if workers
do not organize and put themselves
on basis of equality in bargaining
with employers.
Cotton mill workers, the labor de-
partment says, in 1926 worked an
average of 533 hours per week at
1928 cents per hour, or $17.48 per
week, on the average. In woolen
mills they worked 493 hours per week
for 49 cents an hour, or an average
of $24.31 per week.
These are good figures to think
about when you inspect your shirts
and suits.
Southern cotton mill workers got
somewhat lower pay than workers in
Northern mills, the survey shows.
The South, as a whole, will regret
this, though the South can't help
what its mill bosses do.
The United Textile Workers of
America, fighting the battles of some
of the lowest paid workers in Amer
lea, has done its level best to improve
the sad lot of the mill workers.
However, nobody can compel man
or woman to join a union. Unions
are voluntary associations.
Eventually the men and women of
the mills will learn that the union is
their only salvation and then there
will be new day in the mills of both
North and South.
