MR.. GOODMAN DOESN'T
OWN REAL SILK
BY Stakeholder.

BY Stakeholder.
AS a subscriber and reader of The
Times I have noticed many state
ments and limitations in letters
appearing in the Message Center to
the effect that j. A. Goodman owns
the Real Silk Hosiery Mills.
Entirely aside from the issue ex-
listing there at the present time, I
believe the public is entitled to
know the facts about this. The
Real Silk Hosiery Mills is public
corporation and is owned by about
two thousand scattered all over the
United States. J. A. Goodman is
just one Of the 1000, and is not
the owner.
also would like to inform the
public that not a single one Of those
stockholders has received any diW-
dends on their stock or any income
Of any kind on their investment
for the last three years.

EMPLOYER CASTS
DECIDING VOTE

BY Timi Reader.
Does the public understand the
inside of some company unions?
Here is an example of one in a
major oil company in Indianapolis
Four men represent the employees
and four represent the employers.
If these can not come to decision,
the management has the deciding
vote. Just like the good old game
heads I win, tails you lose"

WORRY AND MISERY

1 wonder how many men now
walking the streets are eligible to
become union knitters. If my UNDER
standing OF the requirements Of the
American Federation of Labor of
Full-Fashioned Hosiery Workers
Union is correct, there are very few,

tive Of a manufacturing concern for
several years and have had access
to all of the books If J. A. Good
man made an enormous profit dur
ing the past four years, I will say he
is a wonderful business man.
1t hardly seems reasonable to me
that one company could have made
such a big profit when all other
firms, with few exceptions, were los
ing money.
There are two sides to every con-
troversy. IF any one of the strikers
had as much money invested as J.
A. Goodman and the other Real
Silk stockholders, would he permit
some outsider to come in and tell
him how to run his business? He

deserving Of a great deal of credit
to have been able to provide a liv-
ing for 5000 persons during the So
called depression. When 1 say liv-
ing, do not mean merely keeping
the wolf from the door.
He has paid the highest average
wages in this city. If this is not
true, how could his employees drive
good cars, have nice homes, and be
well dressed?
The knitters may have felt iusti-
fed in walking out but how can
they feel justified in damaging
property and endangering lives.
In my opinion, nothing ever has
been accomplished by a strike but
worry and misery.

Liberal Viewpoint
-Br DE-. HARRY ELMER BARNEs

IN most parts of the civilized world women
now have won the right to vote But this
does not get them very far if it does not also
insure them the capacity to eat. The undeniable
facts about the inadequate financial reward Of
women workers makes it perfectly clear that
there is a bigger job ahead for our feminists
than the crusade for the right to vote.
| One of the major contributions of the indus
trial revolution was that it took tens of millions
of women out of the home and put them into
| industrial occupations. The census Of 1880 re-
vealed the fact that out of 48,820,000 persons
gainfully employed in the United States, no less
| than 10 752 900 were women. We not ignore
the question of the purchasing power OF so large
a block of wage earners. I/their income is
seriously restricted, American prosperity is bound
| to be impaired
Those interested in the industrial status and
well-being of women workers in America may be
earnestly urged to read the thorough recent
work of Miss Grace Hutchins C'Women Who
| Work. International Publishers. 81. Miss
Hutchins gives us thorough and up-to-date in
| formation relative TO every phase Of womans
part in contemporary economic life. Her figures
on womens wages Chapter VID are challeng
ing and disconcerting.
CHE shows that even under the new deal the
| - average wage of women workers in the
United States is not in excess of $12 a week
| lnOeed, IN Lne HrSt three months OF 1883, the
average was $1062 a week. Womens wages in
the United States today average from 20 per
cent to 10 per cent below the wages paid to
men for comparable types of work.
| Here is a phase of "women's rights" which
should engage the attention and enlist the activ-
! ity of our women'S clubs and all others inter-
eSted in lettering the condition of the female
population of our country. In some cases the
discrepancy between mems wages and women'S
wages is truly scandalous. In the New Ken
sngton Pa) plants of the Aluminium Company
Of America women were paid $145 a day in
| 1888 for work for which men formerly received
! SIS day.
These figures are not only significant with
respect to justice for women. They also in
| dicate how the purchasing power of the Amer
lean public a whole is being depleted Every
| time man is supplanted by woman who re-
ceives wages purchasing power is reduced to
| just this degree.
IN some industries since the depression par
l. ticularly in restaurants and in sweatshops
! in the clothing and dress industries, wage pay
ments to women and girls have been crminaly
| low
Even under the new deal there is no assur-
ance that women will be paid adequately. The
minimum wages run in the codes from $1050
| to S14 week. In many cases. men who earned
more have been turned out and replaced by
women paid according to the code minimum
Just how far we are from social justice for
women workers in American economic society
| today may be seen from two budgets The first
is the weekly budget of a woman worker. re-
ceiving S1720 week-better paid by far than
the average woman:

DIFFICULT DEED DONE

A IR NAIL is being carried by civilian con-
n Germs once more over some of the coun-
trys main air routes, and the eventful chap
ter of army air corps service on the mail
lanes is just about over.
A glance backward shows that the army,
all things considered. took difficult job and
acquitted itself pretty well.
Nearly all the deaths of army fiers took
place right at the beginning when the men
were new to the job. when proper equipment
was in many cases utterly lacking and when
some of the most atrocious flying weather
imaginable was prevalent.
Most of these deaths, too occurred not
while the men involved were actually flying
the mail. but while they we're en- route to
their stations.
The army air corps has unquestionably had
an experience of great value to it, even
though 1t was costly. And that the cost was
high was not the fault of the pilots who did
the flying.

SO tired felt some like disposing of

A joy and a treasure in my heart.

SEATTLE, April TO- Nine young men and one young woman, two of the men and the young wo- man being University of Washing ton students, were given jail sen- tence by Police Judge William R.

International Conference Is Called for May B
 at Geneva

GENEVA, April 10.-The Steer ing Committee of the Disarma- ment Conference has decided to call an International Conference on May B. The Committee then adjourned until April 30.
 Previously the spectre of another World War was conjured up by Ar thur Henderson, President of the Conference, as he warned the dele gates here for a reconvened ses- sion of the Steering Committee, that they must do their utmost to prevent an international catastro- phe.
 Henderson said there must be a universal treaty of disarmament, describing it as world problem. He flayed verbally that section of public opinion which declares the military situation as hopeless and the Conference useless.

MINIMUM PRICE FOR FISH MAY
 BE FIXED SOON
Salmon Code Authority Required to Recommend
 Minimum in Six Weeks

In the final draft of the propos- ed code for the salmon packing in dustry copies of which were re- ceived today by Hugh J. Wade, Deputy MIRA Administrator for AL aska, provision is made that is designed to establish minimum compensation for employee fisher men. The code is expected to be presented to President Roosevelt on his return to Washington for approval
 The provision relative to the fish ermen is in lieu of minimum price fixing requirement. for fish, but it requires that such a mini mum be fixed during the coming season.
 Act in Six Weeks
 To this end, subsection CD of section of Article VI, relative to Administration of the code, de- clares: It shall be the duty of the Code Authority ito investigate and submit to the Administrator with in six weeks after the effective date of this code, recommenda- tions for the minimum compensa- tion of employee fishermen.

BilIboards Scream Charges
 Ouer Fatal Stauisky Roting

PARIS, April 10.-Now that the shooting has died down, Paris is staging one of the most hectic battles of billboard posters" that it has even known.
 Since the night of February 6 when 18 persons were killed in the worst disorders in the history of the Third Republic, the Bill Post CTS Union has been having a field day.
 "Assassins!" shouts the right at the left on the billboards Dem ocracy in Danger!" shouts tht left at the right.
 Stavisky, of course. is the hero or villain-in the piece, but back of him lies a hot political fight that may pet upset Papa" Dou- mergue's cabinet of political truce and peace.
 Down With the Thievesp and Down With the Assassins" shriek the billboards while knots of Par isians gather around the posters solemnly reading the cries for jus tice and relating their personal experiences on the night that ap- parently is destined to become his- toric, perhaps to end up with it's name attached to some street as "the Street of the Sixth Febru- ary."
 Escaped German Bullets"
 "He escaped German bullets but the bullets of the Cartel didn't miss him." says one poster pictur- ing a wounded and dying veteran on the ground with his wife and children in the background. They were veterans, without arms, who simply cried, Down with thieves Tive la France that the Carte. killed on February G."
