II, 1922
Youngstown:
Steel companies intend to increase
the stagger system to a much greater
degree than it exists at present. A
dispatch to the New York World
Telegram outlines the new plan being
worked out by the steel companies;
"a policy Of work distribution has
been adopted by the Republic Steel
Corporation, whereby each employee
on its payroll will receive at least
500 a month, which is the minimum
wage for any Of its workers, the COM
pany announced today" The item fur
ther states, "Other large steel man
uf%acturers in northeastern Ohio are
said to be contemplating the policy Of
work distribution oyer the greatest
number of employees in line with eff
ficient operation"
1t is evident from this new policy of
spreading starvation that those work
ers who up until now were working
two and three days a week, with
slightly higher wages, will have their
working days cut until they cannot
earn over the stipulated 500 a month.
A worker will now have the huge sum
Of five dollars a week to meet the cost
Of maintaining a family with food,
clothing and shelter, medical bills, chill
drens' school expenses, insurance, etc.
These workers will also be cut off
from city, county, state or private re-
lief, as the dispatch says, "The COM
pany believes, by establishing the $40
minimum pay a month, its personnel
will be kept intact pending recovery
in business and will reduce the strain
on public charity organizations in the
various cities in which it operates"
Detroit:
Average earnings are down to $10.82
a week in Detroit, and the standard
Of living of the workers is sinking to
a level of insecurity and want re-
ports the Mayors Committee on I'm
employment. The Committee made a
careful survey Of 1,400 families in a
district which the municipal welfare
department deemed typical of the
whole city.
Wages have fallen from an average
Of $33.05 in 1929 to $1O.82 in 1882.
Hours Of work have dropped from
46.14 to 23.4 a week. The number of
unemployed has risen from 8 out of
8f2 in 1929 to 1853 out of $40 in 1882.
AT the same time the number of T.
day workers has dropped only % per
cent.
Only 326 or 20 per cent of the fam
lilies owned their homes and of these
las were mortgaged and SO wer delin-
quent in tax payments. Of the 1923
who did not own their homes, 269
were in arrears in rent and % had
been excited for non-payment of rent.
The average rent paid was down one
third.
Of the 1874 who reported present
earnings, 295 made less than SIS a
week and 534 less han 500. In 1929
of 1886 reporting, II had been earning
less than SIS and 115 less than 500.
Of the $50 heads Of families from
whom a report was obtained, 40 per
cent were totally unemployed and an
other "a per cent worked three days
or less. Despite the blows suffered
to their income during these years, AZ
per cent of the families have helped
others since January, 1880, the aver
age amount being SCI.
"The lapsing of insurance, the cur
tailment of commercial amusements,
the increase of the use of free elm
les, the inability to buy license plates

of the girls working for the Filbert
Coat Company had received no wages.
Average weekly pay for the others
was less than SO. The forelady who
worked Sc IA hours received only So.
One girl took home S1.50 in her pay
envelope after AZ IL hours work. In
most instances the girls were mex
perienced. In a few they were ID
and 16 years old working without re-
quired employment and age certifi-
Gates. No records of payrolls could
be found.
Cleveland Ohio:
Women and girls are reported as
working a 10 and 12-hour day cut
ting knit dresses at one cent a dozen
in order to earn 60 cents. Wages in
millinery and other needle trades were
reported equally bad; 70 cents is the
wage of many millinery workers for
a days labor. In the ladies garment
trade wages, it was stated have drop
ped from a S32 weekly minimum to a
weekly wage of SO to SIS. The con-
ditions in this trade, it seems, are ac-
tually worse than a mere comparison
of wages would indicate, for accord
ing to delegates representing the gar
ment workers, the work-week in most
shops has increased from AZ to SO
and 60 hours. Cases were also re-
ported of girls doing heavy domestic
work at the rate of rs cents for two
days, and of others working a twelve
hour day in stores at Sc a week pay.

TERRITORY MAY BE REIMBURSED
 FOR EDUCATION
Chances for Tuition for In dians Tn Schools Said
 to Be Bright

{ The chance for the Territory to get reimbursed by the Federal Government for expenditures made in the education of Indians in the local public system is apparently good, in the opinion of Anthony E. Karnes, Commissioner of Educa- tion, who returned yesterday from Washington where he conferred with Interior Department officers on that subject.
 Tt was freely acknowledged that the Territory ought to be reim- bursed for these expenditures and we were assured that the Depart ment would support a measure to that end" MT Karnes said.
 Holds Conference
 The whole subject was discussed at some length in conference at tended by Asst. Secretary of h. terior O. L. Chapman, John Collier, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, w. Carson Ryan, Director of Educa- tion, and Samuel H. Thompson, Public School relations agent for the same bureau, Delegate Dimond and MT. Karnes The Commission CT was in Washington four days and held several meetings with the Tn erior Department representa- tives.
 He showed in detail the number of Indian pupils that are enrolled in the Territorial public schools, the entire cost of whose education is borne by the Territory. He con- trasted this with the tuition paid by the Federal Government for h. dians who are enrolled in the State public schools. As the result of. his representations and those by Delegate Dimond, both Asst. Secretary Chapman and Commis- sioner Collier promised to endeavor to obtain funds and Congressional sanction to reimburse the Territory in the future.
 Suggests One System
 MT. Collier suggested to the Dele gate and Commissioner Karnes the idea of consolidating the Federal and Territorial school systems. He said under such plan, if approved by Congress, the Federal Govern rpant una,1I Iof,ou 4tritin, coc+e for all Indian pupils but would withdraw from school administra- tion activity, here and turn it en- tirely over to the Territory.
 This system is now being tried out in the States with some suc- cess, it was pointed out. It would lessen overhead costs and unify the educational policies in the Terri tory, it was argued. Further con-

 Tn the latter part of the admins tration of President Coolidge farm relief became one of the paramount issuess before Congress and while it was regarded as necessity by all factions the form which the proposed relief should take became the controversial point.

ELECTION WAS EXPECTED

Locally, the election of Mir. Brad ley to head the Alaska Juneau and its allied companies was not un- expected. He has been actively connected with their development and operation for a great many years. He is personally familiar with all their operations from actual contact as Consulting En- gineer for several years and before that was associated in the manage ment in both the Treadwell and Alaska Juneau properties.
 MT. Bradley resided at Treadweli for sometime and later lived here He and his family moved to San Francisco after he was made Con- sulting Engineer but he has paid visits here and to other northern properties annually since that time. His elevation to the Presidency is generally regarded locally with the highest degree of satisfaction.
