cations in the South on behalf Of the

him as anything but generous sm-
ployer.
Rosenwald proved an unwilling and
embarrassed witness. He contended
he was paying living wage, but the
committee proved to the satisfaction
of the people of Illinois that the
wages paid by Rosenwald were so
low that no girl could decently main
tain herself on them. 1t is not of
record that this condition has been
greatly improved since 1915.
The management of Sears, Roebuck
&Co. is still stubborn in reference
to its purpose of turning over its
huge printing contract to the Don
nelley firm, bitter and uncompro.
missing foe of organized labor.
Heads of Firm Worried
Notwithstanding this stubborn atti-
tude, the responsible heads at the
main office here Of Sears, Roebuck
& Co. are greatly worried over the
unfavorable publicity that the cor
poration is receiving at the hands of
International Labor News Service and
its affiliated labor papers, of which
this newspaper is one.
General Robert E. Wood, former
quartermastel general of the United
States Army, who now is the nominal
head of Sears, Roebuck & Co. as its
president, has complained to the Chi
cago bureau of international Labor
News Service that it is wrong to hold
Rosenwald responsible for the letting

Unemployment Growing

Unemployment is a growing prob
lem. We do not believe it is possible
to solve it by artificial methods but
we do believe it is possible to assimi

dition being generally applied in
other industries-the five-day week
the one solution that will give a great
body of men and women the oppor-
tunity to do the work for which they
are equipped.
A resolution seen by some as look
ing to the formation of labor party
was rejected bya decisive vote. The
resolution urged members of the or
ganization to "sever all affiliations
with all political parties of the ex-
plotting class, which are constantly
encroaching on the rights of the
working people"
Justice for Mooney Demanded
The delegates asked that commit
tee be appointed to consider the ad-
visibility of moving the international
offices from Indianapolis to Washing
ton, D. c., and called upon Gov C. C.
Young, of California, to see that "jus-
tice is done" in the case of Thomas
j. Mooney, who is serving a sentence
in San Quentin prison as the result
of his conviction on a charge of
bombing preparedness parade in
San Francisco in 1916.
Houston, Tex, was chosen as the
convention city for next year.

What the basis for this amazing

Howard Books Plan

Speaking In support of the five-day
week and adequate wages President
Charles P. Howard told the conven-
ton:
THE great army of men and women
who are engaged in the printing and
publishing business are engaged in a
work highly necessary to the preser-
vation of civilization. There is no
more important mechanical work.
Our members are above the average
In intelligence, and the demands of
the trade demand the application of
intelligent effort. A great deal of
nervous energy is required. This en-
titles them to a high standard of liv-
ing, including short hours and health
full working conditions.
Because the standard of living is
so flexible, we feel we are justified in
insisting on adequate wage to sup
port the proper standard to which our
members are entitled. We demand of
our members an equally high stand
ard as to quality and quantity Of pro-
duction. We are opposed to syndical-
ism in its every phase or any other
method proposed which would require
the restriction of production.

By JOSEPH A. WISE

Chicago (ILNS)-It is stated by a
trustworthy union printer who had
opportunity to visit and thoroughly
inspect the mechanical departments
of the notoriously unfair printing
firm Of R. R. Donnelley & Sons Com
pany of this city that from sixty to
seventy boys have been employed
there for some time on sample pages
of the Sears, Roebuck & Co. mail
order catalogue, in preparation for
the taking over of a S30,000,000
printing contract next Mrach.
This reveals julius Rosenwald,
self advertised philanthropist, as an
exploiter of child labor. It means that
he intends to turn heads of families
into the street-men who have been
in his employ for many years-and
turn his catalogue work over to mere
children.
The Illinois state senate appointed
committee to investigate vice con-
ditions throughout the state in 1915
The committee held many sessions in
Chicago and went into the often
repeated charge that low wages paid
in department stores were largely re-
sponsible for forcing girls into pros
titution.
Rosenwald Quizzed
The senate vice committee, of
which Lieutenant Governor Barrat
O'Hara was the chairman, had julius
Rosenwald on the stand and treated
him to an unmerciful grilling in ref
erence to his thousands of women
employees, some of whom had preced-
ed him on the stand and pictured

Before Newspaper Publishers

Seattle, Wash. (ILNS)-After de-
claring in favor Of the fve-day week
for union printers, the international
Typographical Union, in convention
here, took immediate steps to bring
about the shorter work week.
The convention voted to lay before
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association a proposal for a fve-day
week and also a communication set
ting forth that "journeymen and APP
prentices have just claim upon the
management with respect to the in
PRODUCTION of policies that will tighten
the burden of those employed in our
industry"
Recommendation that all typo
graphical unions throughout the
United States and Canada appoint
five-day- week committees for an in
tensive campaign of education on the
proposal was adopted by the dele
gates.
