The men would have to work six full

cut four feet of stone in a day he was
not paid So, and we are informed
that many of them could not cut the
'our feet. What this means is clear
when it is understood that from 10
to IA feet of exactly the same kind of
work was the average days work of
the average union man when employed
by contractors at West Point, and it
was not hard task at that. 1t is
evident that the cheap policy of the
quartermaster in wage rates has not
saved money for the people of the
United States. The prevailing wage
in the locality now is $11 day, and
it doesn't require much Of mathe-
matician to figure the difference be-
tween four feet Of stone for SO and
IL feet of stone at $11.

knew him and regarded him as one of
the great figures in carving out or
derly, peaceful, democratic develop
ment in Mexico. Every person who
cares for the welfare Of the Mexican
people must deplore this crime and
hope for the most energetic measures
in it's punishment. Our sympathy
must go out to the masses Of the peo-
pie of Mexico and to the trade union
movement of their country in this
great hour of suspense and trial for
them. 1t must be regarded as FORUM
ate that man of the strength of
President Gales is at the helm in
this crucial hour"
| On all sides it was remarked that
the murder of Gen. Obregon, coming
close on the heels of the death of
Capt Carranza, Mexico's heroic good
will aviator, was a blow of double
severity.
/ There was general satisfaction, too
over the proclamation issued by the
Mexican Federation of Labor and over
the general agreement of dispatches
from Mexico City to the effect that
the leadership and declarations of the
Mexican Federation were having an
| important effect in the calming of
popular feeling.
"The central committee of the Mex
ican Federation Of Labor is deeply in
dignant at the savage outrage
against the president elect" said the
federation statement, issued at head
quarters in Mexico City. "Interpre-
ting the sentiment of the national Ia
Dor movment, it protests most ener-
getically against this disgraceful act,
which it condemns on behalf of the
laDoT movement. ue MeAlSaii L GU
Grafton of Labor hopes the authorities
may clear up the crime and punish
the author accordingly"
i Jose Lopez Cortes, lineal descendant
of Cortez, the conquistador, tele-
graphed an emphatic statement to
President Gales. Luis N. Morones,
secretary of commerce, industry and
labor, declared emphatic condemna-
ton of the crime and the Mexican
labor party proclaimed the murder a
"hateful outrage"

with the closest interest in all labor
circles.

TWELVE-HOUR DAY
1883 Per Week, Is Life Of
COttOnseed Mill Worker

Washington, D. C. U. L. N. So
The average wage of employees in
cottonseed oil mills was 1883 per
week, according to figures compiled
for sample weeks in 1927 by the bu-
reau of labor statistics, department
of labor. The figures were part
of study of wages and hours of labor
and working conditions in cotton gins,
congresses and oil mills.
The summary of the study made
public by the bureau says in part:
"The data for cottonseed oil mills
were collected by agents of the bu-
reau from the payrolls and other rec
ords of 81 representative establish
ments for pay period of one week in
September, October or November,
1927. The data are for 652 white, 1873
Mexican and 1878 colored workers
(of whom 3,S01 were males and IL
were females).
"The 1856 males for whom aver
ages are shown worked on an aver
age of 81 days in one week; their
average full.time hours being 70.9
They actually worked 64.6 hours in
one week, or 6.3 hours per week less
than their average full-time hours,
and earned an average Of "a cents
per hour and 1883 in one week.
''The industry, like cotton gins and
cotton congresses, is seasonal. Dur
ing the cotton picking and ginning
season the mills are in operation full
time or nearly so and generally close
down entirely part of each year.
"In 1927 the 81 mills covered in the
study were in operation an average
of 33 weeks, the operating time rang.
ing from 20 to So weeks in the year
"The regular or customary full
time hours per week on day worl
or shifts based on the regular time
of beginning and quitting work or
each day Of the week, when the mills
are working under normal cnoditions
was II per day or II per week in 81
of the 81 included in the study, u
per week in three mills, and SO, 81
and 60 per week, respectively, IL
three mills. The regular hours OF
night shifts were 60 per week.
Overtime was paid for at the reg
ular rate of pay in Ga mills. On

Argument" for State Police
Force in Illinois Is Based
On Weakest Kind of Data
By JOSEPH A. WISE

international Labor News Service)
Chicago.-Last week it was related
in these columns how, after several
men and women prominent in the la
Dor movement here had assisted in
launching the Illinois Association for
Criminal Justice, about two years ago,
the insiders of the association recently
had put the association on record as
favoring the establishment of state
constabulary system in Illinois not
withstanding the fact that bills de-
signed to authorize such system
have been defeated in each of the last
five sessions of the Illinois general
assembly.
The "holier-t -than-thou" crowd in
control of the Illinois Association for
Criminal Justice accepted the report
and recommendation of Bruce Smith.

SALES TAX
Aids the Rich, Operates Unequal
ly, Says Ralston

Patio Alto, Cal:f.,-"A sales tax is
of necessity tax upon consumption"
said Jackson H. Ralston of this city,
writing to the state tax commission.
Mr.. Ralston, who was formerly
counsel for the American Federation
of Labor, declared sales tax tends
to restrict consumption and interferes
directly with production.
"No merchant can himself under
take to pay sales tax and continue
in business" said Mr.. Ralston. "He
must charge the amount of the tax
into the selling price of his goods or
otherwise cease to operate.
Being tax upon the consumer of
necessities, it operates harshly and un-
equally upon the poorer classes of the
community As something more than
an abstract proposition, man of
wealth requires for his existence no
greater amount of food, clothing and
shelter than the poorest man in his
community, and as practical propo-
sition, apart from the theoretical or
abstract side, the amount he spends
for these several items is an infinitely
smaller proportion of his surplus in
come than in the case of his poorer
fellow citizens.
"a sales tax, therefore, becomes
merely an attempt on the part of
those who are the owners of privilege
to escape from the payment of their
just dues to the community.
at is scarcely to be conceived that,
once looked at as it is, the citizens of
California will submit to the general
imposition of sales tax, no matter
with what circumlocution it may be
enwrapped."
