MORE FACTORY INSPECTORS
NEEDED

That despite the present unem-
ployment, thousands of workers with
jobs are putting in long hours com
parable to those of the sweatshop
days of the early 19O0's, is emphasized
in recent report from the Pennsyl-
vania department of labor. Stress is
laid on the inability of a limited staff
of 65 general factory inspectors to
prveent such conditions in Pennsyl-
vania through the enforcement of ex-
isting laws. The officials are required
to investigate facilities for accident
prevention, hours of women and chill
dren and general sanitation of $4,000
factories and $4,000 retail stores.

WOMEN'S EARNINGS

Mary Anderson, director of the
United States Women's Bureau, says
that the average factory woman in
the country today earns considerably
less than a living wage, and backs
up her statement with figures on
women's wages in various industries
and localities
This breakdown in women's earnings
is particularly disturbing, as it is
common knowledge that wage stand
ards for them have always been be-
low those for men. Ample evidence
of this difference is found in the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistic reports, over
the 11-year period, 1922 to 1882, which
show that in various important wom-
an-employing industries women's av-
erage earnings were from As to "a
per cent of mems. Women's earn
ings were less than 70 per cent of
mems in more than three-quarters of
the cases.
In view of the depths to which
women's wages have fallen, it is en-
couraging to see the quickened inter
est in many states today, as one
means of preventing the general
breakdown in pay and working stand
ards built up over decades and of
counteracting the increased cut throat
competition with its tendency to sub
titute cheap women labor for men
wherever possible.

COMMUNISTS
Seem Likely to Gain In
Socialist Split

New York City (ILNS)-America' s
world of radicalism is going through
another spasm of readiustment, with
the probabilities favoring a strength
ening of the communist movement
The communist organization has been
playing to bring about a split in the
socialist party and seems about to
reap the reward.
The communist proposal was that
the socialist organization join with it
on specific issues, such as the Mooney
case and the Scottsboro case. The
communist proposal was made as the
result of orders from the Third Inter
rationale at Moscow, which likewise
ordered the communists in the United
States to follow similar tactics with
all other organizations, including the

MISS PERKINS
Urges Wagner's Job Agency
Bill

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Ap-
pearing before the senate committee
on education and labor, Secretary of
Labor Frances Perkins urged pas
sage of the Wagner bill oestablish
national employment system.
Miss Perkins told the committee
that only "a states have employment
bureaus, and that federal Offices
should be opened in states where no
public employment systems existed
The Wagner bill is designed to CO.
ordinate state and federal employment
systems, with the states operating the
actual job agencies and the federal
government matching their appropria-
tions for the services. Under the bill,
the government would establish a CO.
ordinating office in Washington which
would provide employment informa-
tion to the states.

LABOR WINS ON MUSCLE
SHOALS

The revised text on the Muscle
Shoals bill as it passed the United
States senate includes the wage pro-
vision incorporated in the house bill
at the request of the officials of the
American Federation of Labor.
The provision stipulates that all
contracts made by the Tennessee Val
ley Authority, which is set up to ad-
minister the vast project coming un-
der the Muscle Shoals scheme, shall
contain provision that laborers and
mechanics employed on the work shall
be paid mot less than the prevailing
rate of wages of similar nature
prevailing in the vicinity" The same
stipulation is applied to work done
directly by the Tennessee Valley Au-
thority.
The bill also contains the provi-
sion that if disputes arise as to what
are the prevailing rates, the matter
shall be adjusted by the secretary of
labor, who in determining the matter
is required ''to give due regard to
those rates which have been secured
through collective agreement by rep
resentatives of employers and en-
ployes."
The provision means that the union
wage rate will be held to be the pre-
vailing wage rate.
The wage-rate stipulation had al
ready been adopted by the house of
representatives.. It's approval by the
senate assures its retention in the
final text by the senate and house
conferees who will adjust the differ
ences in the two bills.

to Congressman Connery, chairman OF
the house labor committee.
In Mr.. Green's statement IN favor
of the bill before the labor committee
he urged the inclusion of this amend
ment:
provided, that the workers in any
mine, quarry, mill, cannery, workshop,
or manufacturing establishment with
in the provisions of Section l of this
act shall not be denied by their en-
ployer the free exercise of the right
to belong to bona fide labor organi-
cation and to collectively bargain for
their wages through their own chosen
representatives.
In his letter to Representative Con-
merry emphasizing the tremendous I'M
portance of his proposal, Mr.. Green
said:
81 cannot believe that there will be
any serious objection to this amend
ment. 1t is nothing more than re-
iteration in a very condensed way of
the public policy declaration of the
United States which is included in the
anti-injunction bill passed by congress
a short time ago
Surely working people have right
to organize and to engage in collec-
tive bargaining. Congress can very
well endorse the exercise of such a
right and make it clear in this legis-
lation that no employe shall be denied
the right to join a bona fide labor
if he desires to do So"
There are twenty-one members of
the labor committee Of the house of
When the committee
roll is called on Mr.. Green's amend
ment, the vote should be unanimous
in its favor.

THE THIRTY HOUR WEEK
ADVANCES

Inexorably the 3O-hour work week
advances. Today we are nearer its
realization than a week ago, whether
the portents seem that way or not
Necessity knows no tradition and
mighty little law.
Humanity, fighting for bread, will
find it's way.
Employers who have long fought
progress will be swept aside if they
do not voluntarily accept change.
Political leaders do not seem to
clearly know where they are going.
Rival brain trusts" seem to cross
wires.
But a clear direction will emerge.
The thirty hour week is coming.
Organized labor has led the way
and though the nation has been and
is slow in following, the arrival is
certain.
The 30-hour week is coming!

DOES ORGANIZATION PAY?

The reduction in the basic wages of
organized newspaper workers has
been negligible, the Editor and Pub
Usher says, pointing out that when

mits the employment of more men on

crafts will be in measurably bet
ter economic condition than the un-
organized groups whose nominal ba-
sic wages have been drastically writ

THE CHEST CAMPAIGN

The fourteenth annual drive for
funds for the Hamilton Community
Chest begins next Friday, May 19.
Though the drive, officially, begins
next Friday, work of preparation has
been going on for weeks by bunch
of patriotic citizens. Plans have been
shaped up, organization formed, ETC.,
so that with the opening gun next
Friday an army of solicitors, workers,
"beggars" or whateveryou may call
them, will be up on their toes and
away in an effort to secure relief and
aid for the unfortunate, the poor and
needy of the city.
These workers should be encouraged
in every way possible. They are do
ing this work unselhshly, only to help
the other fellow 1t is true, many for
whom the Press speaks are in poor
financial circumstances, in fact are in
need, but just this, speaking directly,
there are many others poorer than
you, and it is they you must help
they are the ones you must divide
with Do the best you can and give
to the limit.
But if nothing else, give the chest
solicitor a smile, best wishes, and en-
courage him. And above all, don't
argue with him and tell him show
the chest should be conducted"

HITLERIsM GONE MANIAC

Hitler's so-called storm troops have
put German trade unionism out OF
business.
Today there is no such thing as
trade unionism in Germany.
In the matter of labor regimenta-
tion Germany is on par with
Russia.
The whole procedure is maniacal.
So much of the world as still clings
to freedom and democracy must con-
demn Hitler's crazy move.
Better failure than success under
such tyrannies as those Of Stain,
Mussolini and Hitler.
Our question is: Where will the
tide of regimentation stop? Or will
it stop?
Today's impossibility is tomorrow's
actual fact.

The Cherry
" Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes flippantly,
sometimes recklessly.

Today's mad political pace has
most people dizzy.
The pull toward possible early bet
terment draws men and women into
eager embrace with action, whatever
it is.
Long range philosophy stands poor
chance of competing with action.
Moreover, a great many are unable
to make up their minds one way or
the other as to whether the action
which they observe does or does not
clash or jibe with their long range
philosophy.
Perhaps there never was quite such
time. And in the uncertainty of
mems minds they swing along-per-
haps for the common good. Every
one hopes so, very few know.
Reason tells us we are heading to-
ward vast RECOMMENDATION, Of a sort.
Toward, perhaps, vast united, or
ganized system of national operation.
This holds promise and it holds
possible menace
There is evidence that in this reg
imentation, if it can be called that,
the workers will HAVE to organize,
just as employers will have to organ
ize
If there is organization there CAN
BE democracy.
Whether there WILL BE is another
matter.
Many employers, still fighting la
Dor, still cutting wages like tyrants
responsible to no one, may soon find
themselves bargaining at the COM
mand of Uncle Sam.
Maybe this will be good, maybe
not. That uncertainty is the reason
for lack of effective opposition.
Millions, tired and worn by long
hunger, desperate for long want of
work, hold out arms to whatever
holds the promise of regular food sup
plies.
