MILLION
And A Quarter Fewer Fac
tory Jobs I'm u. S.

Washington, d. C. U. L. N. 81
About million and quarter jobs
have disappeared from the factories
in the last five years. Some who for
merly held these positions have un-
doubtedly sought and gotten work
elsewhere. Others are still hanging
around the factory cities and towns
getting little work now and then,
clamoring for more and dividing with
others and fewer jobs left. Thirteen
OF fourteen factory jobs have disap-
peared in every hundred of five years
ago. These facts emerge from census
reports and current reports of the
United States Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, according to the Social Action
Department of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference.
Back in the summer of 1923 close
to nine million persons were at work.
By the winter three hundred thousand
jobs had ended. Month by month
through the winter, spring and sum-
mer of 1924, one, two and three hun
dred thousand jobs disappeared at a
| clip until in August over million and
a quarter had lost out. In the early
winter few were called back. In 1926
half of them got back. Early in 1926
things were still better; there were
only about three hundred and fifty
thousand fewer jobs. But the rest of
| the year the number grew and by the
end of the year it was up to around
seven hundred and fifty thousand.
That many fewer persons were being
hired in the factories.
| By the summer of 1927 million
fewer jobs were open. Last winter it
got still worse and it stayed around
a million and quarter ever since, one
month little more and another month
little less.
This slump of jobs is not alone in
the extremely hard-hit cotton and
woolen mills where there are about
rs jobs now to every hundred
of five years ago. 1t runs all up and
down the line.
In the food products factories there
are eighty-seven jobs to every hun
dred of 1923. In textiles generally
there are eighty jobs now to every
hundred then and even in the silk mills
there has been slump of six or seven
to the hundred. In the iron and steel
industry fifteen jobs out of every hun
dred have stopped. In lumber. TWEEN
| ty. In leather and shoes, fifteen. In
chemicals, thirteen. In stone and clay
products, seven, and this is due to the
revival of the pottery and glass in
dustries.

DISPLACED
Workers Forced To Low
Wage Labor For A
Living

Washington.-Wo Workers displaced by
machinery are selling life insurance,
teaching school, attending to electric
refrigerators and oil heaters and driv-
ing and ministering to automobiles,
sadi DR.. Julius Klein, of the Depart
ment of Commerce, in radio talk.
In explaining how the machine has
swept workers into the streets, DR..
Klein said an automatic machine just
introduced fills one great factory
building and takes in strips of steel
at one end and turns out enameled and
finished automobile frames at the
other. Four-fifths of the. men former
ly employed are displaced.
productivity per man in the auto
mobile industry increased 172 per cent
in II years." said DR.. Klein.
Rubber manufacturing has in
creased 83 per cent and cement MAX
ing 61 per cent.
"Our factories have decreased their
employees by more than 100000 since
1920; efficiency methods on railroads
have released 100000 men in the same
time"
DR.. Klein indicated that non-pro-
ductive activities would take up the
slack. Most of these, as in radio, low
wages are the rule.

FOREIGN NATIONS
Copy Our Mass Production
System, Says Begg

Memphis, Tenn Foreign nations
are copying our mass production sys-
tenn and we must extend our home
markets by greater purchasing power
of workers through high wages" said
Congressman Begg of Ohio in a speech
before the local Chamber of Commerce
The speaker called on business men
to support the high wage theory.
1--WE have mastered mass produc-
tion," he said "Our production has
increased beyond the widest dreams
of 10 years ago. We now have ma
chimes that do the work 10 men for
merly did. We produce at least 25
per cent more than we can consume.
Because of mass production we are
able to pay good wages and still keep
our markets in competition with for
eign goods made with cheap labor.
But other nations are not idle. They
are learning our secret of mass pro-
duction."

FREE ENTRY
To u. S. For Work Allowed
Canadians

Washington.-Th Supreme Court
refused to pass the right of British
subjects residing in Canada and work
ing in the United States to cross the
border without immigration papers.
The government took the position
that Canadian citizen, residing in
Canada, but who crosses the boundary
daily to work in the United States,
should present an immigration visa to
enter this country. The lower Federal
courts held that the Jay treaty of
1894 gave them free passage over the
border and that under the law they
were non-immigrants, who are aliens
visiting the United States temporarily
for business and are not required o
have immigration visas.
The courts sustaining of Canadians
crossing the border for daily employ
ment was contested in Detroit, Buffa-
10 and other northern border cities.

OLD-WORLD
Diplomacy Deceitful AS Of
Yore, Says Lawmaker

Washington.-"E European diplomacy
is just as deceitful today as it was in
1913, before the outbreak of the World
War;" said Congressman Britten of
Illinois, who has just returned from
Europe.
Mr.. Britten said that Europe gem
orally has not the slightest confidence
that anything worth while will result
from the preparatory disarmament
conference, held under the League of
Nations.
The purpose of the conference is to
agree on a program that will be ac-
ceptable to the world powers when
they assemble in a disarmament CON
ference that is planned for next spring.
In support of his pessimism, the IL
linois lawmaker pointed to the recent
secret naval treaty between England
and France that has been repudiated
by Secretary of State Kellogg.
This treaty opposes battle cruisers
over 10000 tons and submarines
equipped for long cruising.
England does not need large cruisers
because of her many coaling stations
throughout the world, and France does
not need long-ruising subs because
her interests are around the Mediter-
ranean Sea.
The United States needs larger
cruisers and subs because she has few
fueling stations throughout the world

we tell the truth
about many things. sometimes pro-
fOundly, sometimes fiippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Great to-do is being made by cer-
tain psuedo liberals and radicals about
the fight of Madame Rosika Schwim-
mer for American citizenship, which
the government opposes.
Perhaps there is certain light on
this whole matter of American citizen
ship that is not as we'll understood as
it might be.
There seems to be a general i'm
preston in the clustered crannies
that citizenship is something to which
any person resident in the United
States has right.
Regardless of the merits of the case

which is at present enlisting the sym
pathies of the up-and-coming intelec-

something to which any resident per

Madame Schwimmer may or may
not be good material for citizenship
That is not the bone of contention in
this dissertation. The thing that il
will be good for the protesting minor
ity to bear in mind is that American
citizenship is something that is con-
ferred; not something that is taken
when, as and if the would-be taker
wants it. 1t is something that is ex-
tended, not something to be had by
merely grabbing.

UNION CONTRACT
Is Upheld BY Court In
Two Cases

Pottsville, Pain decision against
a local union of miners in McAdoo, this
cuonty, Judge R. H. Kock of the
Schuylkill county court, affirmed nu-
merous decisions that when a group
of men voluntarily join an organiza-
ton they must abide by laws they
pledge to observe or suffer the conse-
quences.
The decision was made in the case
of Miners Union No. 5516, whose
charter was revoked by President
Lewis of the United Mine Workers be-
cause of failure to observe the un-
ion laws, including failure to pay as
sessments.
The objectors claimed the union had
no right to collect assessments, but
Judge Kock ruled that this is the
"very life blood" of the international.
The objectors should have recourse
to the remedies provided in the United
Mine Workers constitution, said the
court.

Young said it "would be imprudent as

Madame Rosika Schwimmer does
not have a right per Sc to become a
citizen Of the United States. She has
right to apply for that benefit, but
the government of the United States
has right, as the agent of the Amer
ican people, to deny that application.
The American government may
make a decision that does not to
everyone seem wise, but that does not
establish a right on the part of the
applicant.
There is a lot of twaddle being
talked here and there about various
phases of American governmental ac-
tivity. Naturally enough the protest
ing minority kicks up all possible dust.
Naturally enough the dear brethren
of Communist persuasion join in every
dust-kicking enterprise.
But that is not a justification for
the blather of otherwise sane and
sensible persons who get caught in the
net of false reasoning and become
tangled on the sticky paper of blooey
sentimentalism and who, thus induced
into a state of loco mentality join in
the blitherings of the minority.
Why not understand definitely that
American citizenship is something to
be conferred at will, or withheld at
will, by America, as nation, and that
the nation may pursue either course
without being charged with miscon-
duct?

oes make mistakes. That is neither

does make mistakes. That is neither
here nor there. The point of it all is
that the government is the agency
through which the American people
confer membership, as it were, in the
organized society which has been es-
tablished within the confines of the
nation.
To be sure, friends of a rejected ap-
plicant have right to assist in an
appeal from the authorities of first
instance. They have right to see
that the applicant gets full benefit OF
all lawful recourse so that wrongful
rejection may be righted by subse-
quent acceptance.
But in SO doing they do not have
authority to set up the contention that
the applicant has a right to American
citizenship by mere virtue of having
applied for that citizenship.
