indianapolis, $14 in New York city
and Milwaukee, and $18 in Chicago.
The bureau says that the low wage
figures shown in the report to be typ
ical of the industry seem out of har-
mony with such sound economic poll
cies as overhead savings due to cen
tralized purchasing and quantity buy
ing, rapid sales turnover, small prof
its on articles sold in big volume,
buying and selling on the cash basis,
abolishing delivery cost and advertis-
ing expense-features of these stores
also stressed in the bulletin.
The phenomenal increase in sales
one chain reporting a $50 per cent in
crease from 1912 to 1927, is not par
alleled by any striking advance in
wages in the past few years, accord
ing to the report.
Limited-price stores suffer by COM
parison with most other industries in
the matter of wage standards, the
bulletin shows, the claim being sup
ported by statistics available for Is
states. Attention is directed to the
fact that while the limited-price de-
partment store has to contend with
and shifting labor and
that some chains endeavor to miti-
gate in a small degree the low wage
by some form of bonus or vacation
system, nevertheless the standards of
are very low indeed in COM
parison with hose in many other in
dustries in whatever state or year

SEES HELP
For Unemployed in Child
Labor Adjustment

New York City IILNS)-In a
statement issued here, Wiley H.
Swift, of the national child labor COM
mittee, said that the observance of
Child Labor Day recently promoted
thoughtful inquiry as to whether
child labor, where it exists, is harm
full to the child, the family and to
society, and also as to whether con-
ditions of child labor are improving.
"There is no need for child labor
in this country" Mr. Swift said. at
would do no great economic harm to
withdraw from the wage-earning
class every child under 16 years of
age, and, considering the large num-
Der of adults out of work and seeking
it, it might do great deal of good.
Ceases of necessity are exceptions
and must be met as emergencies. 1t
is the established economic practice
of getting no small part of the work
done by children, the habit of con-
sidering children as a regular seq
ment of the working force of the
country, that we condemn as well as
deplore."

Backed By Drastic Decision
Hosiery Mill Forces All Help
To Sign ''Slave" Contract

Nazareth, Pa. (ILNS)-Two weeks
ago the yellow dog" contract impos-
ed on Kraemer hosiery workers was
upheld by the president Judge of this
county in an amazing decision which
goes farther than any other yet hand
ed down in this country. The Naza-
reth strike committee has now OBJ
tained copy of the new employment
contract which the Kraemer mill is
forcing on all its green" help, large
~ recruited from the rural districts
Most Of these workers are adults and
many IF them heads of families This
contract, which IS used in addition to
the yellow dog" document, covers a
four-year term and provides that
wages shall start at $40 week, to
be increased each six months until the
worker is getting $40 a week
The employe agrees that if he quits
the Kraemer Company, he will not
take any kind of a job in the full
fashioned industry or for firm MAX
ing full fashioned hosiery within a
radius of hundred miles from Naza-
reth. More than 70 per cent of all
the hosiery made in this country is
probably made within these geo
graphical limits and consequently the
poor sucker without knowing it prac-
tically agrees to lose anything he
might learn in the Kraemer mill if
he should get fired or have to leave
the job.
In the Kraemer contract, it is ex-
rressly stated that every wage raise
over $40 a week is purely voluntary
and such additional remuneration on

salary may be reduced, modified or
taken away at the leisure and will of
the employer without any right there
in or thereto in the employe to re-
ceive continuance of same" Sell
dom has the absolute power of the
employer to dictate terms been more
frankly or brutally stated.
No stipulation is made in the con-
tract about the hours the employe is
to work for the sum of $40, but it is
provided that the knitter must run
two machines for the same wages if
ordered to do so. Farther than all
this the signator actually agrees that
the courts have the right to issue an
injunction against him, in addition to
other legal action that may be en-
tered into, restraining the employe
from violating or attempting to vio-
late this contract.
The Kraemer strike committee is
having thousands of copies of this
contract printed and circulated in
Eastern Pennsylvania in the hope of
educating the people of this state as
to what employers are really seeking
to accomplish when they impose "yel-
low dogs" and injunctions on their
workers.

the company. 1t is the same old gag
employed for years in West Vir-
ginia until the United Mine Workers
finally did away with the surveillance.
1t is this un-American action that
the American Federation of Labor
seeks to abolish among all industrial
workers of the South" Mr.. Smith
said. Such conditions not only pre-
vail in many Of the coal districts but
among other unorganized workers
who are helpless in combating such
outrageous conditions"
Observers who have been watching
the Southern situation in organiza-
ton work say that President Green's
addresses as to the aims and prin-
ciples of the A. F. of L. has had a
beneficent effect and will bear fruit.

idle GROUP
Grows in January; Building
Trades Hit Hardest

Washington. - Unemployment in
creased in January, according to re-
ports from trade unions to the A. F.
of L." said President Green in
statement concerning unemployment
during the first two weeks in Jan
uary.
Our figures show 10 per cent of
union members unemployed during
the first two weeks" said Mr. Green.
This is a substantial increase over
December, when 16 per cent were idle.
The January figures is the highest
percentage of unemployment since
A. F. of l.. began collecting statis-
tics in 1927. In January, 1928, when
unemployment reached serious pro-
portions and caused public concern in
many cities, our figures showed Is
per cent of the membership out of
work, as compared with 19 per cent
this year.
''This report covers $4,000 mem
bers in "a cities. A large variety of
trades is included.
"The highest percentage of unem-
ployed is in the building trades,
where 38 per cent were idle This is
higher figure than in January, 1928,
when Sc per cent were unemployed
and substantially higher than Janu-
ary, 1929, when 80 per cent were out
of work In metal trades IA per cent
were out of work, compared to per
cent in January, 1929, and II per cent
in December.
Unemployment is especially high
among musicians because of radio
and the vitaphone. Unemployment is
increased by seasonal industries
which in some cases are in worse
condition than usual"
