WAR PROFITEERNG
STUDY APPROVED

Washington.--The president signed
a resolution that creates commits
sion to make study of the question
of taking profits out Of war" Mem
bers of the senate, house and cabinet
will compose the commission.
Sponsors of the resolution declare
that there should be equal service
and equal sacrifices for all in war and
special profits to none"
Advocates of the resolution former
ly urged law that was supposed to
"conscript capital and labor" Under
that plan the president could con-
script labor and regulate war profits.
Organized labor showed that capi-
talists and laborers would not be
placed on the same basis, despite con-
trary claims. The present resolution
was then introduced.
Senator Dill introduced a resolu-
tion calling for an amendment to the
constitution which would permit the
government to seize property in war
times, without payment, just as hu-
man beings are conscripted The

equal sacrifice" in the next war ig-

Low Wage Employers Lead
In Giving to Charity Funds

Washington.-"T public does not
realize how often low wages are the
cause of appeals for charity" says
American Federationist, current issue.
How many corporations which
make gifts to community chests see
to it that their wage earners are re-
ceiving living wage? Low wages
can not be compensated by contribu-
tions to charity"
The Federationist shows that char
ity organizations and public funds in
79 cities gave out $16,859,800 the first
four months of this year to assist
those who had not even the barest
requirements of food and shelter.
Some 275,000 families were relieved.
Unemployment was the immediate
cause which brought many of these
families to charity.
I'm other cases it was sickness or
other emergency. But underlying
these emergencies was the fact that
income had not been enough to lay
aside savings, and in many cases not
even enough to meet daily needs.

wages and unemployment The fnan-

FLEECED
Coal Miners Are Short
Weight Victims

Johnstown, Pa.-Non-union miners
in this section are being gyped by
coal owners who short weight their
coal
The miners are helpless to check
this swindle because they permit
themselves to be intimidated by coal
owners who oppose unionization.
The Johnstown Democrat, in re-
cent editorial, called attention to the
coal owners contemplate practice.
Operators busily engaged in cut
ting each others throats, and by
running the industry, are compelling
the men who dig coal to shoulder the
burdens imposed upon the coal trade
by reason of managerial incompe-
tence," says the Democrat.
"Short weight is becoming recog-
nized tradition in the industry. Oper
ators are competing with one another
for the purpose of determining which
one can rob the miner of the most
coal. The biggest robber is able to
quote the lowest price.
"Unorganized miners can not make
any complaint about short weight
without imperiling their jobs. The
man who complains is fired.
Ever since the operators smashed
the union, the coal industry has been
going to the dogs. The union stabil-
lied purchasing power by stabilizing
wages. The day the union was beaten
the operators began their raid upon
purchasing mower"

CENSUS STATISTICS
ARE CHALLENGED

New York.-The 100000 un-
employed, announced by Secre-
tary of Commerce Lamont, is not
"a true picture" of the unemploy-
ed situation, according to Miss
Frances Perkins, state indus
trial commissioner.
Only 40 per cent of the popu-
lation works for wages, Miss
Perkins asserted, while the per-
centage of unemployed in the
statement issued by the bureau
Of census was based upon the en-
tire population.
AS an Illustration, Miss Per-
kins pointed out that seven cities
in New York, having an aggre-
gate population of 2,043,078,
were reported as having 61,350
unemployed not including those
laid Off, or 8 per cent. How
ever, she said, as only DO per
cent of this population, or about
100000, are employable, there
are actually about 13 per cent
unemployed in those cities.

Census Idle Figures Mislead;
Unemployed Areas Omitted

Students of the un-
employment problem protest against
the department of commerce claim
that there are but 2 per cent of the
population unemployed.
This estimate follows a statistical
release by the census bureau, that has
asked certain questions to 29,264, ,480
of the population, of which 20,634,375
are in agricultural sections and
8,620,105 are in industrial centers.
This means that approximately two
and one-half less persons were ques-
toned in the cities-where unemploy-
ment is prevalent-than in agricul-
tural areas.
The figures apply to persons who
are seeking work." and does not
apply to persons who have been laid
off, who are prevented from work by
bad weather." and other causes.
A man who is laid off, or who is
ION leave without pay" is not includ-
ed in this list. He is supposed to have
a job, even though he has not worked
for several months. He is not in the
same class with the man who has no
job and who is seeking employment.
Under this system, and by ques-
tioning two mad one-half more per-
sons in agriculture than in industry,
we are told that there are "only g.
100000 unemployed"
The estimate that but per cent of
the population are unemployed is
based on the entire population, rather
than on the 45,00o,000 employables
throughout the country.
Later figures will be issued by the
census bureau. These figures will be
based on the following queries:
"If this person has a job, is he on
lay-off or on leave without pay? Is
he on vacation or on leave with pay?
Is this his regular rest day or day
off? Is he prevented from working
by bad weather? Other reasons not
being at work"

gether with the statement already is

RADIO TRUST
Busting Is Not Water Tight,
Ayers Lawmaker
Has Farmer-LabOr Support

Washington.-The suit against the
radio trust, started by Attorney Gen
eral Mitchell, does not include all
units of that monopoly, according tc
Congressman Davis, of Tennessee.
Two members of this combine-the
United Fruit Company and the Inter
national Telephone and Telegraph
Company-ar not included.
These corporations have been spe-
cifcally charged by the federal trade
commission with being members of
the monopoly.
"This aspect of the case" said Mr.
Davis, "is accentuated by the boasts
of the radio trust that it has used and
will continue to use its monopolistic
control of radio patents to Keep COM
petitors out of the wireless communi-
cation field.
"This combination also asserts that
it has the right to complete control
over the talking mOtion-picture field.
They are fast tying up the motion
picture theatres with as diabolical a
contract as has ever been written.
Under this lease the motion picture
exhibitors or theatre owners can not
buy any part, or accessories or re-
placements from any one except the
Electric Research Products, subsi-
diary of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company.
"These tying clauses as effectively
shut out manufacturers of competing
talking motion-picture apparatus as
did the famous and nefarious United
Shoe Machinery lease. Any exhibitor
who does not wish to sign such lease
must face patent attacks of this ma
ture. The manufacture of broadcast
ing apparatus used by the broad
casting stations is produced almost
entirely by this combination. They
have frightened away by their COM
bined power and terrorizing tactics
any competition in the manufacture
of this type of apparatus"
