STRICTER LAWS
On Child Labor Urged By
Green

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-
Strengthening of child labor and COM
pulsory school attendance laws was
advocated by President Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, in
letter to the White House Conference
on Child Health and Protection. Mr..
Green is member of the planning
committee of the White House Con-
ference.
"The returns from the 1880 CEN
sus, even though not yet complete,
Indicate that there is great deal of
child labor even during this period of
widespread unemployment" Mr..
Green said in his letter.
"That boys and girls under sixteen
years of age should be gainfully en-
ployed in industry while adults are
unable to find employment is so mani
festly at variance with the best in
terests of our nation, feel that every
effort should be made at the present
time especially to carry out that part
of the conference program which
deals with child labor. hope the va
rious state organizations responsible
for carrying out our program locally
can have their attention called to the
Importance of strengthening child la
Dor and compulsory school attendance
laws at the present time"

ANTI-INJUNCTION
Bill is Reported FavOrably
to Senate

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-La-
boris anti-injunction bill has been ia
vorably reported by the senate judi
ciary committee and IS now on the
senate calendar. Early consideration
of the bill is expected.
The committee approval of the bill,
which was) introduced by Senator
George w. Norris, of Nebraska,
chairman of the committee, marks a
big step forward in labor's long fight
for federal anti-injunction legisla-
ton. On one pretext or another, ac-
tion on anti-injunction legislation has
been delayed for years Now it ap-
pears certain that congress must put
itself on record on the issue.
The vote to approve the Norris bill
was IL to 5, the vote being as fol-

Green Assails Low Wages
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, ad-
dressed the convention in support of
acceptance of the United Mine Work
ers as stabilizing force for economic
well being.
He advocated wage scale that
would raise the standard of living and
provide profit for coal operators.
mo group representing labor can
meet without considering the present
economic conditions now aggravated
by the widespread unemployment
he said. During this period of stress
no group has suffered as much as the
United Mine Workers.
"If wage reductions are remedy
for unemployment, then the mining
industry ought to be the most pros
porous in the world" Mr.. Green
added. "It is an object lession of an
unsound economic policy which brings
a lower standard Of living"

LIVING COST DROP
SINCE JUNE

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-Cost of
living in the United States was 80
per cent lower in December, 1881,
than in the preceding June, and 9.3
per cent lower than in December,
1880, as determined by the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics, United States De-
partment of Labor, in it's semi-annual
survey in 80 cities.

December, 1881, food declined 3.4 per
cent; clothing, 7,2 per cent; rents, Al
per cent; house-furnishing goods, Sc
per cent; and miscellaneous items, 0.6
per cent.
The fuel and light group showed an

mainly by seasonal changes in coal
prices.
In this six-month period food prices
declined in 80 cities the decreases
ranging from 1.5 to 80 per cent.
However, there was an increase of 25
per cent reported for one city, and

Electricians Work Plan
Continues to Make Jobs

Washington, d. G. (ILNS)-The
cooperative work plan, program to
relieve local unemployment by multi
plying small repair jobs, continues to
make records, the Journal of the
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers
reports. The Journal adds: Where
cooperation is secured between con-
tractors, unionists, utilities and other
groups, the plan is success. Detroit
has made remarkable showing dur
ing the last month. Ann Arbor, a
smaller city, has had similar success,
showing that the plan is not depend
ent on size.
Cumberland, Md, has used the
plan to advantage. Dubuque has.
Wichita, Kans., has. Rochester and
Hornell, N. Y, also have. Many other
cities and towns report progress.
"About 800 cities have made the
plan a settled part of the local un-
ions program. Notable campaigns
have been put on in Philadelphia, Buff
falo, Pittsburgh and Youngstown"

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Reduc-

MINERS ADVOCATE
THIRTY-H0UR WEEK
FOR COAL INDUSTRY
Indianapolis Convention Al
so Urges Federal Regula-
ton as Cure for Economic
Evils of BituminOus Trade

indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS)--In a
report submitted by international
officers to the 32nd biennial conven-
ton of the United Mine Workers of
America, in session here, the five
day week with six hours of work per
day, is proposed as remedy for the
bad conditions existing in the btu
minous coal industry. The report also
proposed federal regulation of btu
minous coal mining. The report was
approved by the convention.
Bituminous coal mining is "horri.
BILE example" of the results of wage
cutting, cutthroat competition, de-
struction of employees purchasing
power and other evils of the soft coal
industry, the report declares.
The report was signed by President
John L. Lewis, Vice President Philip
Murray and Secretary Treasurer
Thomas Kennedy.
Coal Most Depressed
Gwen taking into consideration the
ruthless wage cuts that have taken
place in American industry in the last
two years." the report said, "bitu-
minous coal, from the standpoint of
comparison of low-wage rate, profit
less operation, as well as diminished
consumption and reduced working
time, stands out as the most depress-
ed of all American industries"
Discussing federal regulation of
bituminous coal mining, the report
endorsed the bill introduced by Sena-
tor Jones j. Davis, of Pennsylvania,
providing for a federal coal commits
sion.
The report declared that during
the past ten years the per man day
production of bituminous coal miners
has increased 20 per cent. This in
creased production has resulted in de-
creased earnings for coal miners and
created competitive situation that
has eliminated all profits for the coal
companies, and in addition has

By STAFF CORRESPONDENT

Spartanburg, S. C. (ILNS)-Even
while David Clerk, editor of the
Southern Textile Bulletin, loudly as
sures the world that Dixie's textile
manufacturers have voluntarily cast
aside the curse Of night work for
women and children, South Carolina
abounds in cotton mills where amaze
mic women and frail children toll
through the long night hours Some
plants are replacing women workers
with boys of around Ia years of age.
Valley Falls mill, near here, has
been running day and night. Many
of the night shift are women. The
Lyman mill, at Greenville, one Of the
Pacific chain, has been constantly
running day and night for months.
The Poe mill at Greenville worked
day and night shifts with many
women employed at night up to the
Christmas holidays. Over at Greer,
the Victor Monaghan mill finds a
24-hour schedule to it's liking. But
these plants are not by themselves by
any means.
Fat Profits Expected
1t is learned that profits compar-
able only to the war boom days are
confidently anticipated by many tex
tile mills, not only in this state, but
all through the South. Throughout
the cotton states, there has been no.
ticed of hate much building activity as
mill barons have set about building
huge warehouses to store five-cent
cotton until the price rises again. The
huge Cannon mills at Kannapolis,
N. c., are understood to have invested
$1,OOO,OO in fve-cent cotton, secure
in the knowledge that rise in the
market price of even few cents will
mean an enormous profit. The giant

process of completion. The Lyman
plant of the Pacific chain and the
Ware Shoals plants might be cited
as excellent examples of the expan-
sion going on in mill communities of
South Carolina just now. With few
exceptions, these plants showed prof
its in the past year.
Unrest in Big Centers
As a startling contrast to these
evidences of wealth already possess
ed or in process of accumulation, are
the homes of the humble men and
women of the looms and spindles of
this state.
Conditions in some of the homes
are frightful, and there is much un-
rest in the large textile centers," de-
clares Charles M Gaskill, organizer
for the American Federation Of La
Dor. He has spent much time recent
ly in this locality.
"In some of the mills" he con-
tinues, ga worker is required to oper-
ate as high as 104 looms. Job fear is
so intense that one man who had
operated 104 looms all day ran to his
boss at quitting time and said, i am
not bit tired Wages have been cut
80 to 40 per cent generally.
Contrary to the statement of mill
managements, the mills are not TAX
ing care of their unemployed"
State Laws Violated
Gaskill tells of receiving constant
reports from workers of violations of
the state laws governing dockage, the
selling of coal without it's being
weighed on scales. The state has
55-hour law, but it is flagrantly vio-
lated. Workers who send complaints
of violations to the state department
of agriculture, which has charge of
this phase of the governmental ma
chinery, are reported to have their
names forwarded to their bosses with
the inevitable discharge. Labor lead
ers declare that this practice is bring
ing about widespread dissatisfaction
and lack of confidence in the state
laws.

WAGE SLASHERS
Rebuffed in Congress; Sen
ate to Study Six-HOur
Day for Railmen

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Con-
gress has rebuffed wage cutters and
given encouragement to the principle
of the shorter work day.
Following refusal of house leaders
to approve demands for a general cut
in the wages of government employees,
the house civil service committee
voted to make thorough study of the
six-hour day and fve-day week and
the senate adopted, by unanimous
vote, a concurrent resolution provid-
ing for an investigation of the six
hour day for railroad workers.
Demand for general governmental
wage reductions were made by Repre-
sentatives Will R. Wood, of Indiana.
and Harold McGugin, of Kansas
Wood for weeks has been vociferous
in his demand that salaries of all
government employees be slashed.
House leaders declined to back Wood,
McGugin and others and the congress
sional wage cutting campaign receiv-
ed decided setback, at least for the
present, though proposal of SEN
ator oBrah for reduction of federal
salaries of $4,000 or more is still un-
der consideration.
Thorough Inquiry Planned
The house civil service committee
decided to make thorough and ex-
haustive investigation of the shorter
day and week with the idea of putting
them into effect for at least some of
the federal governments 100000 en-
ployes. The inquiry will be extended
to take in private industry as we'll in
the expectation that industry will
follow government action reducing
working periods.
The senate resolution on the six
hour day, introduced by Senator
James Couzens, of Michigan, au-
thorizes the interstate commerce
commission to make a thorough study
of the feasibility of the shorter
workday for railroad employees. The
investigation would be made with the
help of committee representing both
management and labor in the rail
road industry.
The resolution must be passed by
the house before it becomes effective.
The resolution was approved by the
house interstate commerce committee
on January %.
Seeks Only Facts
In presenting the resolution, SEN
ator Couzens explained that there
was no attempt to commit anybody
to policy and that he proposed only
to have the facts assembled for the
guidance of congress. He said that
the resolution had been the subject of
discussion at a meeting of the COM
mitee on interstate commerce, of
which he is chairman, and that its
adoption was recommended unani-
mously by those in attendance.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, Unemployment in the
railroad industry has reached the
point where it presents a grave prob
lem for both employees of railroads
and for the transportation system;
and
Whereas, 1t has been proposed
that the railroads should provide for
the adoption of the principle of a
'six-hour day; and
Whereas, There is no adequate in
formation had by the government as
to the effects of the adoption of such
a principle; therefore, be it
Resolved, BY the senate (the
house of representatives concurring)
that the interstate commerce COM
mission is hereby authorized and in
