AS THE WORKER
SEES HIS WORLD
Summary and Digest Of
Important Events Of the
Week, Mere and Abrsad

Unemployment in Germany de-
creased in the first half of April
about 100000 as the result of sea-
sonal activity, the government re-
ports.
At conference on unemployment
relief, called by Gov. Case, of Rhode
Island, Henry T. Samson, chairman,
said that the $2,500,O0O relief loan
law was inadequate, that $4,000 per-
sons are depending on public aid in
Rhode Island, and that the number
would be largely increased before
December.
Because the treasury was unable to
pay unemployment doles, jobless at
Zyradow, Poland, stormed the city
hall on April 26 and demolished sew
eral offices before the disturbance
was quelled by the police.
With banners proclaiming that re-
duction of dole payments has "re-
duced 100000 workless to sordid,
beastlike existence" more than 10000
unemployed men and women marched
through Manchester and Stafford,
England, in protest against dole cuts.

Cleveland Employers Refuse
6-HOur Day for Idle Relief

Cleveland, Ohio.-The executive
board of the Building Trades Employ.
ers' Association of Cleveland declined
to inaugurate the six-hour workday
which the Building Trades Council
urged the association to adopt to re.
lieve the tragic unemployment under
which many building workers have
been jobless for two years.
The board was reported as stating
that "the six-hour day would not give
more men employment, but would pro-
long the job and thus place an addi-
tional tax on the contractor and
owner. 1t was the consensus that the
shorter day would tend to curtail
building operations and would impede
rather than stimulate work"
The executive board made no alter
native suggestion as to methods to
spread employment among the thou
sands Of building mechanics and la
borers who need work to support
themselves and their dependents.

Labor Editor Advocates
Old Age Pensions for Iowa

Dubuque, Iowa.. NJ. Conley, edi-
tor of the Dubuque Leader, says it is
time to find out where legislators lin
ing up for the June primary stand
on the question of old age pensions.
After pointing out that seventeen
states already have old age pension
laws, Mr.. Conley continued:
"The American Federation of La
Dor at it's last convention went on
record as in hearty accord with an
old age security bill. A pension
granted to people of advanced age is
respectable and commendable way
of enabling such persons to support
themselves and not be dependent upon
the charity of others.
"Iowa needs such protection for
its aged. Opinion in favor of such
law is gradually gaining ground, and
mature consideration of it's good quail
tiles should eventually crystallize
public thought into the passage Of
such bill when the state legislature
convenes."

Loss to Countryside
In Passing Of Ox-Team

sAA sSoSAAAO - -
Where there are no big draft horses.
the mule Is the only real rival Of the
OK In farm work. Mule breeding In
the South and the importation OF the
ave big breeds of horses from north
western Europe into the United States,
rather than the invention Of the trac-
tor, finally displaced the OK as a source
of power on our farms and in our lum-
ber camps.
The passing Of the OK is one OF the
penalties of progress. It Is one OF
those cases where our esthetic feelings
are sacrificed to productive efficiency.
Oxen at work are more decorative
than horses, mules or tractors. They
give one the impression Of irresistible
power. There Is something primitive
about the way they are yoked and
their power applied. Their very slow
ness-the way they lean against the
yoke, and the way the yoke creaks
under the strain-an heighten the ef-
feet. The countryside has lost one OF
its charms since oxen went out OF
fashion, Besides, skill In driving oxen
is becoming one Of the lost arts.
But they are altogether too slew for
this fast age. While we like to look
at oxen, we are certain that we should
not like to ride behind them. We pre-
fer to 60 whizzing in an automobile, 80
there seems to be nothing to be done
about 1t. But we can't help feeling
that we lose something by being 30 ter
ribly progressive. Progress, like every
other good thing, costs something

Texas Boy IA Years of Age
Hurt in NOnuniOn Bakery

Dallas, Tex.-A nonunion baker in
Dallas employed boy Ia years old
to operate one of the most dangerous
machines in the bakery. The boys
right arm was caught in the machine
and mangled so that he will be Grip
pied for life. The employer worked
him about ten hours a day and paid
him ST a week.
"If there ever was a time" de-
clares the Dallas Craftsman, in com
menting on the case, "for the public
to rise against employers using our
babies and children for machine fod-
der, it is now. If this shop had been
a union bakery, the accident would
never have happened. Why? Because
when shop is operated in accord
ance with the rules of the Bakers
Union of Dallas, child labor cannot
be used. We prohibit it. In bakeries

California Court Validates
Wage Rate and Alien Law

Sacramento, Calf.-The supreme
court of Califoria gave unanimous
decision confirming the constitution
atty of the prevailing wage rate law
enacted by the last legislature, with
exemptions accorded to certain cities
like Los Angeles, San Francisco and
San Diego which have "home rule"
provisions in their city charters. 8
The court also upheld the constitu-
tionality of the law providing that
none but American citizens be en-
ployed on public projects paid for by
taxpayers money by either state,
county or other political subdivision
of California.
Both of these measures were sup
ported by the organized labor move
ment of California. The State Feder-
alton of Labor had attorneys prepare
briefs and participate in the argu-
ments before the supreme court in
support Of their constitutionality.

II said to be proud. National pride
shows itself In diverse ways, and the
divergence may be very great, ranging
from the stolid, self-assured, inarticu-

the one is evenly balanced by the in.
