Labor Not Consulted

Smith never at any time approached
organized labor for data, although he
acknowledged in his report that the
policy of the labor movement is ad-
verse to the establishment and main
tenance of state constabulary forces.
Smith did not give the real reasons
why organized labor is in opposition
to such a departure in Illinois or else
where.
Smith and his employers and
co-workers carefully refrained from
calling at the headquarters of the Hi
nois State Federation of Labor, where
wealth of data is easily accessible
to anyone seeking information on this
subject
The ground was prepared for
Smiths report and recommendation
by Prof. Andrew A. Bruce, head of
the American Institute of Criminal
Law and Criminology at Northwest
ern University, assisted by Hugh Mil
Ter, former Associated Press edi.
tor, who recently has been practicing
law and economy in Chicago and piec.
ing out his income by work similar tc
that which he performed for the al
legged professor of criminology a
NORTHWESTERN University and for th'
"leading citizens" and pillars of so
ciety" in control of the Illinois AS
sociation for Criminal Justice.

dent of American and Pan American Labor Move
ments Wol Expresses Sympathy for Mexican
Workers-Al Watch Developments Closely.

By international Labor News Service
Washington, D. C.-American la
Dor has joined with all other forces in
American life in deploring and con-
demning as a dastardly act the as
sassination of Alvaro Obregon, presi-
dent-elect of Mexico, former presi-
dent, revolutionary hero, school
teacher, union machinist, farmer and
one Of the great intellectual leaders
of the republic to the south.
In statement to international La
Dor News Service, President William
Green expressed the feeling of labor,
saying:
"The assassination OF President-elect
Obregon of Mexico creates a feeling
of profound regret and apprehension
for the immediate future of Mexico.
1t is difficult to estimate the effect
which this tragedy will have upon the
political life of the Mexican republic
The crime was most dastardly one
calling for the swift and certain pun
ishment of the guilty party"
Because of its interest in Mexico
dating back to the days of the initia-
ton of the revolution against Porfric
Diaz, the old dictator who ruled un-
der iron domination a nation the
mass of whose population was in vir.
tual serfdom, American labor feels
deep interest in whatever makes fol
the democratic development of that
country-or for the retarding of that
development.

Labor to Strike Back

There is a lot more to this story,
and so it will have to be continued
next week. The "open shoppers" have
had wonderful time hurling all sorts
of unsubstantiated charges against
organized labor hereabouts during
many months. Organized labor is
getting rather tired of this sort of
attack and will strike back in no un-
certain manner.

Quincy, Mass. U. l.. N. S.)-Army
officers in charge of building opera
tions at West Point have refused to
pay the prevailing wage rate, have
heightened the prevailing working
week, and in every particular their
efforts have been toward pulling
down established standards, Sam
Squib, president of the Granite Cut
ters international Association of
America, charges in an editorial in
the Granite Cutters Journal for July.
Declaring that as far as granite
cutters have been concerned, the fed
eral government has been the very
opposite of a good employer, Mr..
Squib says:
"Union granite cutters working un-
der union conditions have cut the
granite for every building erected on
the West Point reservation by con-
tractors In 1921 the government de-
cided to eliminate contractors and to
do the work direct, the quartermaster
to be in charge. He had authority
over the hiring and firing of men and
the setting of wage rates. Nine dol
lars per day had been paid granite
cutters by a contractor who finished
a building six months previous to the
government beginning to build, and
nine dollars a day of $1.12R an hour,
was the wage rate prevailing in the
locality at that time on the same kind
of work.
Fixes Wages at Sc
"When ready to begin operations
the quartermaster announced that rs
cents an hour or Sc day would be
the wages paid by the war depart
ment. 1t was explained to him that
SO a day was the prevailing rate, and
that legally granite cutters should be
paid the prevailing rate of &c. but he
insisted that he was going to do as
he saw fit to do, and that Sc day
was all that would be paid. AS local
men understanding the situation
would not accept his terms, he used
the United States post office as ad-
vertising mediums through which tc
get men.
"Protests were made to Genera
Macarthur, then in command at West
Point and to John Weeks, who was
secretary of war. These protests
were turned over to the quartermastel
for investigation. AS might be ex
pected when the quartermaster inves
tigated charges against the quarter
master, the quartermaster found thai
the ouartermaster was right in pay
ing Sc day.
Forced to Raise Pay
"The quartermaster finished thu
first building, and some time ag'
started another, which has been com
pleted recently. When starting on thi'
second building, he again announced
his intention to pay Sc day, but a.
few men showed up to go to work, HI

H. 6. WELLS REVEALS OWN
 LOVE STORY


 LONDON, Ju,y 16-The romance of a little schoolgirl and young tutor is that of one of England's most famous novelists and gifted writer of poems and short stories.
 In the 'Book of Catherine Wells" recently published, H. c. Wells reveals the love story Of his late wife, Amy Catherine Robbins Wells, and himself
 Thirty-fve years ago, H. C.. Wells was an unknown young in tellectual, short of funds and health, who conducted "cramming' classes in practical biology for candidates for the London bachelor of science examinations. He had been injured at football and his prospects for long and success full life were not very bright.
 Into his class one day walked a frail young girl, Amy Catherine Robbons. Her father had recent ly died and she was struggling to earn living for herself and her mother as a schoolmistress.
 T though her then a very sweet and valiant little figure indeed, with her schoolgirl satchel of books and very old-fashloned, unwieldly microscope some one had lent her, and soon came to think her the most wonderful thing in my life," Wells relates.
