No Union Clause in
Federal Contracts

WASHINGTON, July 80 (FP).-
Contractors bidding for post office
or other federal building construc-
ton jobs do not have to agree to
employ union labor, the treasury
department informed the Fall River
(Mass.) Central Labor Council
through Sen. David l. Walsh. July
26. The Fall River labor movement
asked Walsh to try to have the
union labor clause written into any
contract for post office construc-
ton in that city.
Federal laws provide that all such
contracts must be let to the lowest
bidder who is responsible and can
be held to perform the work accord
ing to the specifications But these
specifications take no account of
the interests of the workers; they
are directed solely to getting the
biggest value for the government
dollar, and hence they tend to en-
courage the employment of the
cheapest efficient workers, whether
these be union or non-union.

is going into debt to these two
countries; and that these two cred
itors have enormous claims falling

of interest and repayment of debt.

Wages Often Cut BY
Western Union
By MESSENGER.

The company I am working for is
the Western Union Telegraph. I
have been employed in this company
for over six months as a messenger
boy and during this period have
learned quite a few things about this
firm.
The owner of the Western Union
is Newcomb Carlton who makes
about fifteen million dollars per year
While he makes so much money the
messengers doing all the hard work
get very small wages, and about
months ago the company cut the
rates again. We work here on a COM
mission basis and go according to
zones. We used to get &c for the A
zone, 7c for the B zone, lac for the
C zone, zoe for the D zone and 26c
for the E zone. Now that they have
cut the rates we get the following
3.6c for the A zone, Csc for the B
zone, lie for the c zone, 18c for the
D zone and 24c for the E zone. This
actually means that we lost about
S. per week. Besides, we have to
work hours overtime every day.

The first half of 1928 saw the
armies of American investment dol

extend the domination of the Ameri-
can capitalist empire throughout the
world. In the 6-month period, ac-
cording to the U. S. department of
commerce, $1,053, 164,650 of foreign
securities were publicly sold in this
country while privately arranged in
vestments in foreign countries raised
the total to at least $1,325, 1854, $50.
This is more in 6 months than the
annual total of any year prior to
1924.
Since 1914, the department shows,
foreign securities have been publicly
offered in this country to a total of
$12,712,51S,179. If private invest

would undoubtedly top $4,000, 000,-
