ject, "What Woodrow Wilson Means
to Me-"
II would be very happy, indeed, if
some young man or woman connected
with our labor movement might be
encouraged to enter the contest and
win one of the prizes," said President
Green. For that reason / suggested
that a set Of three volumes entitled
Literary and Political Papers and
Addresses Of Woodrow Wilson be sent
to you. am of the opinion that you
would be rendering a great service if
through the columns of your publica-
tion you call attention to this contest,
to the availability Of these three vol
umes at public libraries, and urge our
working people to enter the contest
with the hope of winning one of the
prizes.
"There is nothing political in this
contest. 1t is divested of any political
consideration. This is very pleasing
in that it removes any possibility of
a charge of political advancement or
the support of any political party.
Those who enter the contest will be
benefited because, by so doing, they
will engage in study of liberal,
American ideals and popular govern
ment. The educational value of such
study is very great"

FAIL TO LENCTHEN
WOmen's Work Week In
Massachusetts

Boston.-Textile manufacturers of
this state were dealt smashing blow
when the lower house of the Massa-
chusetts legislature refused to in
crease women's work week. The vote
was 159 to 5.
The Awkwright Club, leading tex
tile organization, conducted a state
wide campaign in favor of the long
work-week system.
Organized textile workers pointed
out that the employers complaint of
Southern competition" can be remov-
ed if they discard old machinery and
install modern methods in their
plants. Vast profits have been taken
out of this industry since America
entered the World War and divided
among stockholders. No thought has
been given to replacement Of worn-out
machinery.

CRIME and VICE
Flourish in Coal Mine
Strike Camps
Mine

Pittsburgh, Pa.-Officers of tn
United Mine Workers protested to the
executive board of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ against i'm
moral conditions of mining camps
maintained by the Pittsburgh Coal
Company.
The company violated its contract
with the union two years ago and has
been operating on the non-union ba-
sis. In the two years the company
lost $3,381, GIG.
In letter to the churchmen, Philip
Murray, international vice president
of the union, urged the council to
take such corrective action as lies
within its power" He asserted that
the company imported inexperienced
men from the slums of great cities
and negroes from the South, men with
no knowledge of mining. Between
10000 and $4,000 men were imported,
and out of this number working
force of only 5000 had been built up,
he said.
These imported men menace the
peace of the community. Moral and
sanitary conditions in some of these

and women, the accounting and book
keeping section had the highest pro-
portion of what is regarded as fairly
well paid workers, 70.1 per cent of the
men and 14.3 per cent of the women
being in the groups receiving $50 or
more per week.
The departmental study covered
LOTS establishments and an estimated
one-eighth of all Massachusetts office
workers. The data refers to salaries
of May l, 1926. The following sum-
mary shows the percentages of en-
ployes who were in the various wage
groups:
Less than SIG week, Ii per cent;

Industrial Board

BY international Labor News Service.
Albany, N. Y.-E. w. Edwards, for
many years representative of the In
, ternational Printing Pressmen's and
Assistants Union and now president
of the New York State Allied Print
ing Trades Council, has been confirm
ed as a member of the state industrial
board, the key to the states labor pol

Mr.. Edwards is web pressman and

York State Federation of Labor, es-
pecially in educational matters, and
was one of the driving forces behind

camps are viciously deplorable. White
men and women, and negro men and
women mingle. Men and women boot
leggers carry liquor into the camps
in suitcases and hat boxes. Dope ped
dlers do thriving business among the
negroes. We charge that the Pitts

these conditions and that the COM
pany makes no effort to stop them"
In some places, Mr.. Murray said,
the company took guns and other
weapons into the camps to arm the
imported men.

RETAIL STORES
Set Up By Ford Alarm
Business Men

Detroit, Mich.-Henry Ford is COM
peting with small retail business men
and these merchants are panic
stricken. The retailers are organiz-
ing against the new venture, and they
threaten to boycott wholesalers who
sell to Ford. The wholesalers are
fearful that if they join the boycott,
they, too, will be attacked.
The stores are located at the Lin
coin motor plant, at Highland Park,
an extension of Detroit, and at River
Rouge, several miles from this city.
The stores are operated on the "grab"
plan and are as standardized as the
manufacture of fiivvers. They are pa
tronized by the public and are the
outgrowth of huge commissaries
which served Ford workers when the
retailers raised prices to secure part
of wage increase. The public can
buy anything that is for sale at the
corner grocery or meat shop, or at
shoe, clothing or haberdashery
stores.
Every effort is made in the stores
to eliminate lost motion. Clerks move
as in the Ford factory, and customers
do likewise. They help themselves
and pay the cashier on going out.
Prices are lower than in other stores
and the possibilities of mass buying
and selling, with quick turnover,
alarms business men.
st. Louis, Mo.-Henry Ford's three
retail stores in and near Detroit wor-
ries business men of this state, ac-
cording to letter to Ford by L. F.
Padberg, secretary of the Missouri
Retail Grocers and Merchants Asso-
ciation. The letter is circulated
among retailers and suggests to the
flivver manufacturer that chain stores
buy no Fords because they make no
deliveries.
