WILSON-VARE
Ballot COrruptOrs Can Not
Be Reached

Pittsburgh.-Ward leaders and 9th
er politicians who were responsible
for ballot-box stuffng in the Wilson
Ware senatorial election of 1926, can
not be jailed. The law provides for
fines rather than prison terms.
This escape of higher-ups developed
when four women in Homestead, near
here, were paroled after they ex-
planned to Judge James N. Gray how
the ward leaders marked ballots and
placed them in the box.
One woman told Judge Gray that
more than one-half of the ballots cast
during the day were illegal. A ward
leader advised her to plead no defense
to the election fraud charges because
"it has been fixed with the Judge"
In the second election district of the
Second Ward, Homestead, election of
ficials certified that Ware received 2O9
votes and Wilson none.

THREATENS UNION
TEXTILE LABOR

Marion, N. C.,-Textile workers or
ganized a union at this place and de-
mand relief from poor work cond-
tions.
The sweep of unionism alarms E.
M. Baldwin, president Marion Manu-
featuring company, who closed down
the plant for an hour to lecture en-
ployes on the risk they take if they
affiliate with United Textile Workers.
Mr.. Baldwin admitted he is power
less to stop unionization Of employees
decided to make that move, but
trouble is liable to happen" and all
union members will then be evicted
from company houses, he said.
The entire Piedmont section is
aflame with trade union sentiment.
Many Textile Workers locals have
been organized since March 81. In
these sections the wage for card room
workers is often SO week, while ex-
ceptional skilled are paid $11.

Equity's Drive to Unionize
Movie Actors to Get Strong
Support Of Organized Labor

Washington, D. C. ILNS).-Presi
dent William Green Of the American
Federation of Labor, has reiterated
the pledge of the Federation to sup
port the campaign of the Actors
Equity Association to organize mo.
tion picture actors. In a telegram tc
President Frank Gilmore of Equity
Mr.. Green said that Equity would have
the earnest and aggressive" support
of the A. F. of L.
Modern industrial and economic
life have wrought such changes in
human relationships as to make the
individual inarticulate and helpless Sc
far as protection Of living standards
is concerned" Mr.. Green's telegram
said. "This is an age of mass produc
ton, mass action and organization
Cooperation, coordination and collec-
tive action are the primary require
ments in all human enterprises and
undertakings.
Cites Lawyers Organization
More and more it becomes evident
that the individual is dependent upon
other individuals for success. There
is manifest interdependence among
all groups, social, professional and
economic. Nowhere is this fact more
clearly demonstrated than in the le-
gal profession of California. All at
torneys must be members of the Bar
Association before they can practice
law in that state. The lawyers of
California know that an organization
of this kind is essential to individual
and collective success. You and those
for whom you speak, representing as
you do an old and honorable profes-
sion restrictive of Individual liberty,
require and need an organization as
perfect and practical as it can be
made IN order to maintain high eth
ical and artistic standards.

Proposed Agreement, Jointly Drafted, Laid Be-
fore Special Convention Of Union and to En-
ployers- Arbitration and Employment Bureau
Provided, Jointly Maintained.

Philadelphia, Pa, (ILNS). = With
simultaneous presentation to the man
| ufacturers, the special convention of
| Full Fashioned Hosiery Workers last
week had before it here a proposed,
| tentative agreement drawn by a Joint
employer-union committee, designated
to stabilize the industry and place its
employment relations on basis as
nearly scientific as can be devised.
Arbitration machinery is set up by
the proposed agreement. Also, an en-
ployment office is established Expen-
ses of both these operations will be
shared, ffty-ffty, by union and en-
, ployers.
| Reports from Kenosha that the
agreement, as drawn, gives in" to the
| Allen-A system, as it has been called
are emphatically denied here, though
the proposed national agreement reg
| isterng advance all along the line,
may offer Allen-A chance to come
in under its terms without seeming to
"lose face"
A basis has been agreed upon for
carrying out a study which will en-
able the trade to scientifically deter
mine overtime rates for all help, both
knitters and auxiliary, it is explained.
A general understanding has been
reached for the application of time
study methods in determining extras.
Basic rates have been laid down with
view to providing certain minimum
earnings to the competent knitter.
The manufacturers and union rep
resentatives are attempting, in this
agreement, to develop technique
which will eliminate friction and need
less contention as far as humanity pos
sible, from all questions involving the
fixation of wage payments on partic-
ular items or changing styles as these
apply to all the various operations in
the manufacture of full fashioned
hosiery
President Rieve said "the unions
fundamental objection to the two-ma-
chine system has always been that it
would automatically create serious
over-supply of help in the industry
Under the terms of the proposed
contract with the manufacturers we
remove the difficulty of providing that
all apprentices who make good will be
given jobs. We have worked out a def
mite mathematical formula which,
| applied in practice, will enable the
employers to have machines open for
all helpers TO graduate onto when they
have served their apprenticeship
period
ut is agreed with the manufactur-
ers that modern long section machines
shall not be run as double jobs. The
employers with whom we are dealing
are of the opinion that doubling ma
chimes or more than 20 sections will
not be economical nor practical from
any standpoint. The type of machin-
cry which we are allowing to be gen.
orally doubled, over space Of years,
is type which has now become more
or less universally obsolescent in our
industry.
'The manufacture of this type of
knitting machine has practically ceas-
ed and will no doubt disappear from
the industry in very few years. The
type of machines that will be doubled
constitute even now minority of the
total full fashioned machines in the
