Who Opposed Labor in Parker Case
Employment Percentages

The 1881 level of employment was
reached during September, but is now
on the upgrade, according to the U. S.
Department of Labor, in the latest
percentage figures on employment
now available.
The September reduction was due in
part to the nationwide textile strike,
according to Labor Secretary Frances
Perkins.
Employment in manufacturing de-
clined by At per cent in September
and payrolls fell 6.8 per cent.
Some of the September decreases
were seasonal.
Large declines in employment occur
red in the iron and steel, hardware,
automobile and boot and shoe indus
tries. 1t was pointed out, that de-
creases in the last three were sea-
sonal.
The retail trade industry showed an
upturn in employment.

Social Workers Are Asked
To Fight parasitic" Wage
Underpaid Work Increases Rather Than Solves Relief
Problems New York State Labor Department Official
Points Out, in Strong Appeal for Firm Opposition To
Inadequate Wage Scales

Albany, NY. (ILNS)-Social work
ers and relief administrators were
asked to take firm stand against
underpaid work, particularly when
it is offered to persons on public or
private relief rolls, the appeal being
made by Frieda S. Miller, director Of
the division of women in industry and
minimum wage, state department OF
labor, on behalf Of Industrial Com
missioner Elmer F. Andrews.
Miss Miller declared that many
homework contractors and some oper-
ators of laundries, shops and factories
have taken advantage of the dire
need of the unemployed, particularly
women and minors, and are paying
wages which are parasitic in the sense
that relief money must still be used
to piece out living expenses of the
workers and their dependents. Such
wages, instead of solving relief prob
lens, complicate and increase them by
throwing out Of employment workers
who formerly received reasonable
wages.
Miss Miller, speaking at the State
Conference of Social Workers here,
said in part:
"We of the labor department and
you who have supervision over the
social problems of hundreds of thou
sands of citizens of the state must
come to some sort of an understand
ing and agreement as to what we are
after. We cannot accept the philos-
ophy that any kind Of underpaid work
which lessons the amount OF relief
you must give to this or that individ-
ual or family is solution to the indi-
vidual problem or the whole problem
of relief.
"If persons on relief are to accept
work at coolie wages Of as low as ten
to two cents an hour for skilled
homework, for instance, then the prob
lem of relief is not being solved but
'smeared' over more and more work
ing people in the state. Followed to
it's logical conclusion, the time would

POORHOUSE
To Pass Out of Existence,
Copeland Predicts

New York.-"Over the Hills to the
Poorhouse," heart throbbing song
with bitter facts, may soon become
just memory.
United States Senator Royal S.
Copeland predicted that there would
be legislation in the next congress
that soon would put out of existence
the old county almshouse, better
known as "the poorhouse."
"The poorhouse is one of the great
est blots in the history of our coun-
try" he said. s'It is utterly wrong
that such an institution should exist.
l don't mean to say that it has not
had an important place in the care of
old people in the past But, as I view
it, the time has come when the fear of
poverty in old age shall disappear
"There are more than 10000, 900
persons in the United States over the
age of 60 years. If we could find a
way TO permit these men and women,
now without means or earning ca
pacity, to remain in their homes, it
would mean much lower cost to
society and preserve the self-respect
of a group we should love and seek
to aid"

moneys would be used to piece out the
inadequate wages being paid by thou
sands Of employers who had come to
count upon this assistance.
can attitude which tacitly or
openly approves Of work at any
wage, however low, undercuts and
negates the philosophy and intent
of the state government which
has written into the law the dec
laration that it is against public
policy for any employer to pay a
woman or minor oppressive or un-
reasonable wages This attitude
also undercuts and negates the
NRA codes which say that all
workers must receive at least
reasonable minimum wage.
"The economic and social grounds
on which the state and federal gov
ernments have based this policy of
minimum fair wages are clear and
unassailable. Industries must pay
their own way. If they are to con-
tinue to operate, their workers must
receive enough wages to live on. The
large majority of employers who are
operating on this basis must not be
subjected to the competition of the
few employers who can cut prices be-
cause they are paying lower and
lower wages"

Five More Up This Year For Reelection, Fess Among
Them, Who Betrayed Labor's Confidence in Voting To
Confirm "Yellow Dog" Judge Parker to u. S. Supreme
Court; Defeat Of These Expected.
By A. F. of L. News Service.

By A. F. of l.. News Service.
Washington.-In keeping with the
declaration long ago to the country
covering the political policy of the
American Federation of Labor, that it
will "stand faithfully by our friends
and elect them; oppose our enemies
and defeat them," regardless Of polit-
ical party, an unceasing fight has been
wages against reelection of the U. S.
senatohs who, in 1880, betrayed the
wishes and interests of labor by ia
voring the confirmation Of Judge John
J. Parker to the U. S. Supreme Court.
The potent power of organized labor
aroused is we'll reflected in the result.
yellow Dog" Judge
1t will be readily recalled that Judge
John j. Parker was nominated for the
U. S. Supreme Court by President
Hoover, in 1880. It appeared that the
judges chief claim to fame was that he
rendered a number Of decisions in
lower courts directly opposed to the
best interests of wage earners and not
in the interest of the country as a
whole.
Chief of his decisions in this re-
spect was one upholding the in
famous "yellow dog" labor con
tract, by which greedy employers
have in the past been enabled to
exploit workers and hold them in
virtual industrial slavery.
Due to the wide use of the term
"yellow dog" in connection with the
Parker case, he has been referred to
as yellow Dog Judge Parker.
His confirmation was defeated, and
the yellow dog contract has since
been outlawed by congress.
! Thirty Already "Out''
A survey made by the American
Federation Of Labor, and now released
for publication, shows that, since tn.
defeat of the appointment of Judg,
Parker in 1880, 26 members of tn,

not now members Of congress, or ar,
not nominees for reelection. In ad
dition to these, four who were paired
in favor Of confirmation are not now il

thirty who are "out," nearly all O.
them actually defeated.

Five Up This Year

Five other u. s. senator's who voted
for confirmation of Judge Parker are
nominees of their respective parties
for reelection to the senate this year,
and they are all strongly opposed by
labor.
These include: Fess (Ohio),
Hatfield wv. Va.), Herbert (R.
~, Reed (Penna.), and Walcott
Comm.
The decisive defeat of these five cur
rent candidates is freely predicted by
officials of organized labor, and their
defeat will make 35 senators "out"
who favored the confirmation of Judge
Parker, and who by that vote tacitly
favored the "yellow dog" labor con-
tract.
Vital Issue
The Parker case, of course, was not
the only matter in which organized la
Dor was vitally concerned, although it
is held to be an outstanding issue.
This is particularly emphasized by a
perusal of the complete records of vot-
ing in the senate, as study discloses
the fact that nearly all who betrayed
the wishes and interests of labor in the
Parker case followed a similar policy
in other matters in which organized
labor was concerned; while those sem
ators who voted against Judge Par
ker's confirmation have usually fol-
lowed the policy Of voting favorably
on measures in which organized la
Dor has been chiefly affected.
Anti-Labor Campaign
According to President William
Green, if the American Federation of
Labor, "It is thoroughly established
that campaign for anti-labor legis-
lation is in progress, and when the
74th congress meets it will be flooded
with bills detrimental to the inter-
! ests Of labor"
Organized labor is therefore very
much concerned about the election Of
u. S. senators and members of con-
gress who have shown a disposition to
cooperate with labor in protecting
and advancing the interests Of wage
earners and Of the country as whole

The permanent waving season, as any beauty shop will tell you. begins along about the middle of April and lasts until the latter part of June. It's the time of year to get a wave that will withstand hot, humid weather, bathing and other summer sports. And women who are coiffure- conscious begin thinking right now about the type of permanent to get.
 However, everyone should allow at least a month-six weeks is bet ter-to get the scalp and hair in the proper condition to receive the new wave. If your hair is too dry, the permanent is likely to split the ends and then your curly locks will resemble a heap of straw. So avoid a dry condition before mak- ing that semi-annual appointment.
 First, you can give yourself hot oil shampoos at practically no ex- pense. Dip a clean cotton pad in bit of warm olive oil and, part ing the hair Into small sections, rub the oil on the scalp. When you have finished, wrap a towel around the hair and go to bed, giving the scalp chance to absorb the oil while you slope. Then, the next morning wash your hair i'll the usual way. If the hair gets unusually dry before time for tho next shampoo, dip your finger tips in pomade and massage it into the roots.
 And don't forget to use the hair brush. No other treatment is more beneficial than ten minutes of brushing, upward and outward. each night before you retire.

What The Doctor Says BY DR. s. J. CRUMBINE, GENERAL EXECUTIVE AMERICAN CHILD HEALTH ASSOCIATION

Mrs Johnson settled herself against his cushion and some of the tired ness went out of her face and voice. Its all very well to say that" she replied, but she must lear to do as she's told. mustn't me.
 "Yes-and mo-" l replied. Why. what do you mean, doctor?" asked Mrs Johnson. "Well,H said I. you wouldn't want Claire to grow up doing everything she's told without ever thinking for herself, would you? She'd be the victim of every plausible or strong minded rogue she met"
 Mrs Johnson was silent for mo- ment. Then. You're right, doc- tor" she said; "but what are we to do when she argues as she did just now?" That argument only happened because you were too tired to forestall it," I replied. You know Claire's natural im- patience but you also know that she's exceptionally intelligent for an eight year old. and reasonabl enough about anything she under stands. By the way" I said, "why did you want her to wear her rub- bers today? It isRt raining" "Be- cause it looks threatening" replied Mrs Johnson, "and because the ground is soaked underfoot, and because Claire has had slight cold -" Exactly" I inter- rupted; "Claire would have under stood all of those reasons-only she didn't happen to think of them and you didn't mention them. Be- sides, Claire's mind wasn't on rub bers, it was on her little friends who were waiting for her at. the gate. She was afraid they'd go on without her-only you didn't hap pen to think of that"
 Mrs Johnson smiled rather rue fully. "I guess I'm as impatient as Claire" she said. MT Johnson and I both laughed. Its pretty hard . to be 'sweetly reasonable when you're tired, isn't it. Nary" he exclaimed, and agreed with him.

 Are you going north?" she asked"
 No" He sat looking down at her steadily and worshipingly. In few short hours miles would lie between them. Suddenly she leaned toward him and he felt her hand on his. He turned quickly to grip her fingers ard remembered the fact that her hand was small and soft and that he must not hurt her.

II have lived one life and looked on at another and it has taught me a lot I would have missed if I had been walled inside the one or the other. But I'm going to work for the right to come back and pound on the front gate. I'm going to work for nothing else but that. Will you remember that?" He had to stop to get his breath. Will you remember" he went on, that I am coming back and that shall never forget it and that I'll live on my dreams about it?"

 But it's not going to rain -

 through the skin. But if the phy- siology instructor in high school says we do some of the pupils will probably believe it is so. They will go out in the world to become wiseacres. They will make the meanest cutomers for honest doc- tors to deal with, but won't they be meat for sthe quacks and nos- trums mongers?
 So far as I know or believe, no antiseptic, germicide or disinfect- ant as yet discovered is worth a hoot in the treatment of any ill., ness. Antiseptics perhaps have some value in surgical dressings, in gargles, mouthwashes, sprays, douches or lotions, the chief pur- pose being to precent the spread of the childish faith of the wiseacre laity in antiseptic gargles and the like in the treatment of sore throat and putative "colds"; un- conscious and ironic, or moronic if you prefer.
 Wiseacre laymen cherish the mo- ton that if you use strong enough antiseptic remedies often enough you can "heap' anything quickly, Of course they have never been appraised that the antiseptic pow erful enough to kill or seriously cripple the delicate young new tis- sue cells which are essential in any healing process.
 Many laymen harbor a fond fancy that the regular daily ap- plication of an antiseptic gargle, nasal spray or similar remedy will prevent nutat1ve "colds", flu, infan- tile paralysis, diphtheria, lethargic encephalitis or whatever the com munity happens to be excited about. It is questionable whether any such "precaution" is ever ef- fective, and there is some reason to believe that the constant or fre- quent removal of the normal mu-
