| May DIE OF
CAR INJURIES
Men Pinned Beneath
Overturned Truck;
Taken to Harlingen
For Treatment

RIO HONDO, March 3-Three men
were hurt, one so seriously that he
may die. when an automobile truck
in which they were riding became
unmanageable near here Friday af-
ternoon, plunged off the road and
overturned.
All Of che victims were rushed to
San Benito, where they were given
first aid treatment in the San Be-
nito clinic, and two of them, Des-
derio Gonzales, 81, and Jose Jove,
were taken to the Valley Baptist
hospital at Harlingen.
Gonzales was said to have sus-
tanned a crushed chest and other in
juries, and his condition is regard
ed as critical. Jove suffered q
broken collar bone and possible in
ternal injuries. An ambulance Of
the Thompson mortuary took the
two men to the hospital.
The third man, G.. Valli. was re-
moved to his home after he had
been given treatment for numerous
cuts and bruises about the head and
body.
All three Of the men were pinned
beneath the overturned truck. They
were extricated by passing motor
lists, who took them to San Benito
The accident is believed to have
been caused by a break in the steer
ing gear Of the automobile. The
fact that they were Aot driving at
a rapid rate, the men say, prob
ably prevented the accident from be-
ing even more serious than 1t was.
The truck was the property of the

Mcneil, 23-year-old daughter Of
Mrs. Ambrose Mcneil, reputed one
of the wenlthiest society leaders Of

CHAIN STORES
Hit By Child Labor Law In
u. S. Capital

Washington, D. c. G. L. n. 81
Chain stores, representing some of
the largest national chains, have been
hit by the new federal child labor
law and are making readjustments to
meet the new statute.
Large numbers of young boys, un-
der the age set in the new law, have
been employed by these stores, work
ing 10 and 12-hour days. Wages, at
best, have been low.
The new law provides:
Children under IA shall not work
outside their homes except newsboys,
who may, under certain restrictions,
work at the age of 10.
No minor under Is shall work
longer than six consecutive days or
48 hours week.
No girl under IS, or boy under II,
shall work before z a. m. or after z
p. M, nor shall any boy between 16
and 18 work before a. m. or after
10 p. m.

Council to Appraise Results
In July 81 Meeting; Request
For Clarification May Be Made

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, D. C.-When the ex-
ecutive council of the American
Federation of Labor meets July 81
Federation of Labor meets July 81
it will have before it the report of
the delegation that represented or
ganized labor at the republican and
democratic national conventions, and
it will face the task of measuring and
evaluating those platforms as they
apply to labor.
1t can be said that organized labor
regards the injunction planks as top
ping all others in mportance-and
in this vital respect neither platform
is satisfactory.
President William Green returned
to Washington Immediately after the
close of the democratic convention at
Houston, but he has not yet reached
any conclusions that he cares to offer
for publication. 1t is known, how
ever, that he is giving deep study and
thought to the two platforms and that
his study centers aruond the injunc-
tion planks.
Unofficially, it is known that the
view of labor is that the injunction
planks are both sadly lacking and that
clarifcation by the candidates is
hoped for and may be asked for,
though this may not be done until
after the notification ceremonies have
given the candidates opportunity to
make an expression on their own ac-
count.

20.1 per cent fifteen years and over.
The last division is very high pro-

Washington, D. c. U. L. N. ST.
Women who worked as much rs 55
hours week in cotton mills in 1922
lost from their work in the year 13
days more than did women who work
ed only 48 hours week, according
to new charts prepared by the wom-
ems bureau and made public by the
department Of labor. The scheduled
weekly hours of work for 4,338 women
were taken in 18 mills located in
both northern and southern states.
An explanatory statement by the
director of the bureau, Mary Ander-
son, made public simultaneously with
the chart, says:
"The study is of particular signifi
canoe because it points out SO plainly
that shorter hours are an advantage
to the employees as we'll q sthe en-
ployer. Time lost by the working
force in an organization is always a
bugbear, and when it runs as high as
35h days per year per worker it is
no small thing.
Causes of Lost Time
"The causes given for this time lost
varied through many personal rea-
sons. Among 2,214 Women workers
these personal reasons reached 1873
per cent of the total, illness of self
making 1872 per cent; home duties,
1873 per cent; rest, recreation and va
cation, 12.5 per cent; illness Of others,
SO per cent, and from there on down.
"Mill reasons were headed by 1914
per cent for shutdown, and let out,
and 2.7 per cent for no work. De-
spite the general feeling that strikes
and labor disputes are at the head of
lost time causes, our findings in these
mills showed, among the women, only
OIL per cent for strikes, and 0.3 per
cent for disputes.
From the standpoint of the sex of
the workers, the women show higher
per cent Of lost time, as would be
expected where the great majority of
them are responsible for home duties
rs we'll as wage earning ones. The
men showed 1872 per cent loss in
their total of possible working days,
and the women 21.9 per cent.
Turnover is Smaller
However, the women proved to be
stable more in the length Of time
spent in a given mill, leaving their
jobs less frequently than the men did
for change to other jobs or for other
reasons. According to the length Of
time worked in the trade, rs per cent

satisfactory plank had been expected
at Houston. AS matters stand, while
the democratic plank is much longer
than the republican plank, it is doubt
full if it is considered as at all supe-
rior to the republican plank; if, in
deed, some do not consider it much
worse.
The republican plank, for the first
time, admits abuses of the writ of in
junction. The democratic plank de-
clares that "no injunctions should be
granted except-and in the "excep-
tions" it is believed it kills the vir-
tue the plank might otherwise have
had.
This is the single sentence on in
functions as written into the repub-
lican platform:
eve believe that injunctions in la
Dor disputes have in some instances
been abused and have given rise to a
serious question calling for legisla-
ton"
Democratic Plank Longer
The democratic platform said:
"We recognize that legislative and
other Investigations have shown the
existence of grave abuse in the issu-
ance of injunctions in labor disputes.
No ;p;,po+;opc should Lo uro,o+od -,
labor disputes except upon proof of
threatened irreparable injury and af-
ter notice and hearing, and the in
junction should be confined to those
acts which do directly threaten ire
parable injury. The expressed pur-
pose of representative of capital, la
Dor and the bar to devise a plan for
the elimination of the present evils
with respect to injunctions must be
supported and legislation designed to
accomplish these ends formulated and
passed"
If labor looks with deep disfavor on
the exceptions" in this plank, it evi-
dently looks with equal disappoint-
ment on the section which discusses
efforts of "captal, labor and the bar
| to devise an anti-injunction law
There is a strong disposition to re-
gard this as 'lamb lie down with
the lion" proposal.
| c.
There is frank admission that the
| democratic platform contains mum.
Der of planks which are entirely sat
isfactory. These include the retire
ment and mining planks, the plank or
collective bargaining and two or three
others. But the unsatisfactory char
acter of the injunction plank is be-
lieved to have killed whatever feel
ing of satisfaction those relatively
minor planks may have been calculat
ed to generate.
1t is possible there may be no off
cial pronouncement from labor unit
after the council has begun its ses
sions. Whether there will be deci
sion in the matter of approaching th'
presidential candidates for a clarifi
cation of platform declarations prio
to that time is a matter not yet de
termined. But it is evident, on tn
basis of unofficial expressions, tina
unless there is from one or both can
didates a strong expression, in tn
form Of a guarantee of policy, so ia
as the injunction is concerned, ther
is not going to be much genuine en-
, thusiasm in either direction.
