KEEPING THEM DOWN

The eternal cry of the employers
who are underpaying women and girls
in industry is that, no matter how
low the wage, they are paying all
such employees are worth ito me-" be-
cause the workers in question are
mot very bright" they are
mentally deficient and ought to be
glad to get job at any wage.
1t is a terrible task and bother to
learn them to do their work. they will
tell you, and then they can do only
the one thing, and are not useful like
the brighter employees" who can be
shifted, as occasion requires, to diff
ferent tasks.
"You know" said one of them the
other day, that if a girl is very
bright she won't work-for S12 a
week"
That is true, of course, in many
instances, but economic pressure often
drives capable working women and
girls to the lowest wage level, at
least temporarily, and the unprinci-
pied employer goes to the 1imit to
keep them there as long as he can,
and then hides behind the shameful
claim that the girl or woman is mot
smart enough to earn more"
And there are those who are always
seeking these kind, and who use every
unfair means to keep the level of
their earnings at the lowest point.
1t is to protect femalesa workers

PENSION BILL
Is Passed But Trickery Is
Charged

Washington. - The Dale-L -Lehlbach
retirement bill passed the house by
a vote of 219 to 0. The bill would
increase the maximum retirement paw
to $1,000 year, and would raise the
average allowance to $500 year. The
present maximum is $1,000, with an
average of around $500, but many
receive less than $100 yearly.
The bill passed the senate last May
and has been held up by Chairman
Smell, of the house rules committee,
and other house leaders. 1t is hoped
that President Coolidge will sign the
measure, although he has indicated
opposition.
Congressman Woodrum charged
house leaders with trickery in per-
hitting the bill to come on the floor
of the house at this late date. He
said the bill could now be vetoed by
the president in the closing hours of
congress, and there would be- no op-
portunity to act on the veto.
at is nothing but gesture to bring
this bill up now" Woodrum shouted.

MOONEY AND BILLINGS

Two men have served IL years in
prison in California for crime, their
innocence of which has been acknow-
lodged for the greater part of that
time.
1t is time for hard hitting in their
behalf by all Americans who believe
in justice.
Tom Mooney and Warren Billings,
labor "agitators," were found guilty
of having exploded bomb which kill
ed 10 people during preparedness
parade in San Francisco, July %,
1916.
Mooney was sentenced to be hang
ed and Billings to life Imprisonment.
Only the request of Woodrow Wilson
procured a communication from death
to life Imprisonment for Mooney,
after grave doubt had been thrown
on his guilt.
Perjury has been completely prov
ed against the principal prosecution
witnesses, and there is no doubt in
the world that neither Mooney OF
Billings had anything to do with the
explosion. The judge who presided,
the prosecuting officer, and the fore
man of the jury which convicted
them, all asked Governor Young al
a recent meeting to pardon these
men.
Why Young should hesitate we
don't know. But Fremont Older, OF
San Francisco, in recent review
of the case, said:
at was Moneys radical activi
ties in labor strikes that inspired the
frame-up. He had offended the power.
full corporations and they were de-
temined to get him. They were
willing to hang man who annoyed
them, using the courts for the pur.
pose"
Whether this charge is true or not
again we don't know. But it would
seem to us that employers of all peo.
pie, unless they are willing to staHc
mute before an accusation of this ter
rible sort, should be the first to urge
Young toward the justice that has al
ready been II years delayed.-Nev

NARCOTIC
Inquiry Is Voted By Senate
Menace Grows

Washington. - Alarmed at the
growing menace of narcotics in this
country, the senate unanimously voted
an appropriation of $4,000 to inves-
tigate this traffic.
A report must be submitted to con-
gress by next December with recon-
mendations for more drastic legisla-
tion to suppress this evil.
The extent of this traffic is indicat-
ed by opium seizures in 20 trans
Pacific passenger ships that entered
San Francisco port from January 10,
1923, to August. 80, 1923. Vast guam
titles of opium were confiscated by
customs officials and fines that totaled
$608,210 were levied. The extent of
the influence of the opium ring is in
dicated by the fact that adjustments"
were made in these cases and the fines
reduced to $15,183.
Fourteen of the ships were owned
by the United States shipping board.
The others were Japanese vessels.
Cinnamon were engaged in this
smuggling, but shipping men are
aware that the Chinese have powerful
connections. This is shown by the re-
ductions of fines. The Chinese are
employed in the stewards department
which constitute nearly one-half of a
ships crew, exclusive of licensed Off
GERS. The Chinese will not only work
for low wages, but they will pay sub
stantial sums to secure employment
that they may have an opportunity
to smuggle opium and Cinnamon
When they are arrested they enc
sabe," while officials of the ships ex
pressed amazement at the discovery

A TALE OF TWO INCREASES

Labor" has an interesting letter
from a subscriber who works on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western,
which fosters a variety of company
unions"
On one side of the paper our friend
quotes from the Buffalo Times the
account of the wage increases gain
ed by 5000 union shopmen on the
New York Central.
On the other side is recorded
another sort of increase. The D. L..
& w has group insurance" for it's
workers. The management has just
sent them notice that their assess
ment will be increased SO per cent,
and deductions from wages will be
made effective on and after February
l, 1929, at the new rates"
The contrast is instructive.
The real unions get their members
a 625 per cent increase in wages.
The company union" sits silent and
helpless while the management hands
its members a SO per cent increase
in one of the most important items
of their expenses.
Young Mr.. Loree said on the wit
ness stand recently that group insur-
ance and other paternal schemes are
good business"-for the company
In a narrow, short-sighted sense,
they are-but in every sense they are
bad business for the worker. They
leave him at the mercy of the boss.
What the company gives, the COM
pany can take away; and when the
workers have been weaned away from
unionism, or cowed by long years of
helpfulness, the company revokes its
gifts-or raises the price of them
Liberty has many trials; but servi-
tude has no blessings; and the only
road to industrial liberty hes through
trade unionism.-Labor.

Society must be protected against

NON-UNION WORKINGMEN

They have no political protest
against social or industrial wrongs.
They never faced their management
with demand backed by the power
to persuade.
They never helped raise rates of
pay, or fix a wage scale.
They never put man back to work
who was unjustly discharged.
They never signed working
agreement providing for overtime,

"ALL FOR EACH"

& Some union men think at times
that others devote too much time in
making war on communist plottings.
Communists are busy everywhere, but
they are tremendously busy in some
important centers. 1t is the doctrine
Of unionism to protect whatever unit
is attacked. No communist attack
on unionism anywhere can be ignored.
To attack portion is to attack the
movement-and the movement must
protect its units. Moreover, it does.

Court dgdin Denies Radio
 Vested Right''
By ALEXANDER GEORGE CAP. Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. H. A high court again has denied the contention of broadcasting stations that they can acquire property rights in the use of wavelength, in full time operation or the use of certain transmission power.
 This ruling is regarded by radio men and lawyers here as the most important part Of the decision made by the court of appeals of the Dis trict of Columbia upholding the au- thority of the rederal radio com mission to order WNYC, New York, to divide time with WMCA of the same city.
 WNYC, in it's appeal, contended that it had obtained property right to operate it's station full time and that the commissioners order had amounted to taking of property without due process of law in vio- lation of the United States consti- tuition.
 We do not agree with this con- tention," the court said. Tn our opinion the interstate broadcasting of radio communications is a species of interstate commerce and as such is subject of federal regulation"

 Herman's statement to the Dis trict Attorney was that he went to his home Friday night and planned the murders. The plans were well fixed in his mind. He waited awhile because my daddy was still awake. After his father went to sleep, Her man lit a match so he could see the sleeping man and shot him from within few feet of his mother. The mother ran out of the house. She then returned and he shot her as she entered the room. The confes- sion was obtained after bloody cloth- ing belonging to the young slayer was found in seed bin.

STATUS OF BOYS IS
 ROWE-PARIS PUZZLE

VINTIMILLE, Franco-Italian Bor- der, Dec. 11-Many years ago Ed ward Everett Hale showed the di- lemma of Tho Man Without Coun- try in one short volume. However, he had but one man and one country to deal with.
 Mussolini and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs are faced with a more difficult problem They have 53 children with two countries each to deal with. Undougtedly many vol- umes will be written efore the children are classified.
 This city is in Italian territory. and the puzzle started shortly after the armistice when a French family, the husband being employed in the local French customs office, wei comed an heir. Fifty-seven similar incidents took place in other French families.
 Now MusSolini has announced that the heirs are Italian since they were born in Italy and have lived here for ten years. The children are not complaining, but the parental means have reached Paris. The re- suit is problematical, but the 58 children have eight years before they have to serve apprenticeship in any army.
