Welfare Schemes at
LaborTemple Monday

When Frances Perkins, New York
industrial commissioner, admitted in
a speech at Hotel Pennsylvania that
thousands of New York working
girls exist below the poverty line
and quoted wage scales of leading
Manhattan employers to prove her
point, she said; "There is some.
thing defective in our civilization,
something wrong with the economic
machine, else the worker, out of
what she produces, could buy back
at least enough to feed and house
herself.
The Something wrong" will be
analysed by some of the victims of
"the economic machine" at an edu
cational meeting of the Office Work,
ere Union at Labor Temple, 14tf
st. and Second Ave-, at $50 p. m
Monday. Benice Michaelson will be
chief speaker.
Clubs, office councils, profit shar-
ing sehemes-whole systems Of well
fare work-are organized by en-
ployers to divert the energies of the
workers they exploit away from or
ganization, she will explain.
Not by free lunches or dental
treatment, but only through militant
organization will office workers be
able to abolish the $12-$18 wage
