Is Per Cent Pay Slash
Extended BY Roosevelt

Washington.-President Roosevelt
announced that the Is per cent pay
cut for federal employees would be
continued for the six months ending
December 81, 1888.
Congress gave the president the au-
thority to lessen the percentage of the
reduction at the end of six-months
periods if and when the cost of living
increased based on living costs for the
last six months of 1923. 1t was an
nounced that the findings of the de-
partment of labor revealed that the
cost of living figures for the six
months period ending June 80 did not
warrant any change in the Is per cent
slash.

CHILD LABOR KNOCKED AGAIN

The adoption of the child labor
amendment to the federal constitution
by Illinois and Oklahoma brings the
number of states which have approved
it up to fifteen.
With the prohibition of children un-
der 16 from employment in the cotton
textile industry included in that in
dustry's fair competition core and
scheduled to go into other industrial
codes, plus the continuing adoption
by states of the child labor amend
ment, the outlook for the entire elm
ination of child labor in the near fu-
ture is encouraging.

ACCIDENTS WASTE

Under the national industrial re.
covery act, the nation is bending every
energy to eliminate overproduction
cutthroat competition, unemployment
and other industrial wastes. But one
great waste seems to be largely neg
lected in the recovery program. That
is the tremendous waste caused by
industrial accidents, which last year
took some $1,000 lives.
Surely the United States has the
wealth, the intelligence and the will
to virtually eliminste accidents, at

HERE LIES PROBABLE WOE

If the national industrial recover.
act is to function with fairness to al
and malice toward none, then some
thing needs to be done and done
quickly about the method of code
making.
AS the matter stands, there is moth.
ing labor can do about a code until
it is drafted, docketed and called for
hearing. Then labor can appear and
register its kicks in open hearing.
But by the time code gets to the
hearing stage a great deal of what
may be called congealing has been
done. And the administration itself
has, in a sense, become a partisan of
the code as offered.
Perhaps the nation does not realize
to what extent the administration be-
comes party TO code BEFOh
THERE is ANY HEARING. Here is
the way of it, as it is working in
practice:
An industry begins to work out its
code. If it is big industry it goes
to Washington to see what about
many things. 1t finds the deputy ad-
ministrator assigned to that industry.
And the deputy administrator sits
in with the industry and helps work
out the code He must be either more
or less than human if he comes out
of that cooperative effort without
being partisan to the code he has
helped to draw.
The deputy MAY take advice from
labor in that field, and he may for
get all about labor. Or he may take
labor's advice and then discount it
KILL IT IN ADVANCE.
Labor's advice was had in the max
ing of the cotton textile code, but
labor had to go in and fight for modi-
fication of that code. Labor's advice
was not taken in advance, yet when
labor offered its views in open hear
ings, the deputy administrator said,
why, but you were my advisor"
At this hour deputy is sitting with
the leaders of tbs garment industry.
viii he emerge partisan to the code
there prepared? We shall see, but
there is an inescapable presumption.
These codes deal with labor. They
fix its hours and its wages, a pair
of fields in which labor has been
mighty jealous.
The result may be happy, all around,
but the method thus far indicates that
very shortly vredict will have to be
passed in language blunt enough for
even a cavalry officer to understand

And it is indeed high time that the
ban on child labor be extended to
every state and territory. Children
are worth too much to our future cit

and dwarfed for the benefit of en-

god regardless of the price paid by

Hundreds of workers and their
families growing more desperate ev-

Of the Unemployed Councils and are
massing inside and outside the bu-

and food allowances.

A torchlight parade tomorrow night
around the college was announced

and after the adjournment Of the

Philosophy Hall to plan the parade.
The sentiments Of the students in
the Henderson case was shown when
Donald Henderson himself unexpect
edly appeared to address the students
He was loudly cheered.
Henderson said he approached his
case not only from the point Of view
of what is happening in the colleges
but also from the point of view OF the
revolutionary movement. He exposed
the hypocricy of liberalism in Col
umbia by showing that the moment
a student or teacher attempted to
put liberal ideas into action he was
barred.

RYAN OF IL. A.
STATE RELIEF
BOARD MEMBER
Plan to Send Union
Men to Work for
Dollar A Day

NEW RK.-Joseph P Ryan,
president of the International Long
shoremen's Association, president OF
the Central Labor and Trades Coun-
Gil of greater New York and vicinity
and member Of the Supreme War
Board; has been appointed by Gov
ernor Lehman on the state emergency
relief board.
This is promotion in recognition
of his services in holding down the
starving longshoreinen of New York
and the rest of the country from
struggle. He modified the Home
Relief Buro in Brooklyn to refuse
longshoremen relief Applicants for
relief are asked if they are longshore-
men and whether or not they belong
to the I. L. A. They are asked their
opinion of Ryan and if they say any
thing against him, out they go.
Hopkins, state relief head and I'M
mediate superior Of Ryan, told a
committee of unemployed longshore-
men that in order to get relief they
would have to go out to the reforests-
ton camps. He said he would lift
the age limits and they would re-
ceive the full payment themselves.
This offer of Hopkins is really q
move by Ryan, head of the union, to
put union men on dollar day wages,
helping the wage-cutting campaign
of the shipowners and steyedore bos-
ses. Scale wages are supposed TO be
rs cents an hour straight time and
s110 overtime.
Ryan, as q member OF the var
board. is thus trying to get longshore
men into these camps to build mil
itsry trained force among them. Thus
the relief and war plans go hand in
hand. Unemployed longshoremen
should elect committees to demand
relief directly from Ryan, This makes
the fifth Job he holds, drawing pay
on all of them.
