JObIess Won't Be Absorbed
The daily newspaper code sets up,
as a maximum, the 40-hour week,
In principle. In practice, 48-hours
and more are permitted. In view
of the fact that in large centers of
the country, such as New York,
Chicago and San Francisco, the 40
hour week had already been operat-
ing during 1888 and there existed,
nevertheless, a vast number Of un-
employed, it can be seen that the
4O-hour maximum is not going to
absorb any of the large number OF
unemployed.
The Daily Newspaper Code gives
the publishers the opportunity to
manipulate starting times of shift
hours (stagger system), thus ration
alizing production for the publish
ers, and throwing more workers
Dnto the streets.
40 Cents Per Hour Minimum
The minimum wage in the news
paper Code is set at 40 cents per
hour. This is even below unskilled
workers In the industry, while in
the Code itself, no distinction is
made between skilled and mskilled
workers.
The tremendous wage-cuts pro-
posed in the Code can readily be
seen from the following table, com
piled by the United States Bureau
Of Labor Statistics. Average wage
rates per hour, were paid as fol-
lows:
Skilled workers received, during

BOSSES are NDut AuStiOIAby
The publishers organizations are
set up as the Code Authority (the
principal role being played by the
leading publishers organization,
the American Newspaper Publishers
Association, having full charge
over the working out of the codes.
In the settlement of labor dis
putes. complicated machinery (the
Newspaper Industrial Board) is set
up which makes arbitration COM
pulsory. The right to strike is abro-
gated.
The publishers thus obtain from
this Code all conditions they want.
They use their enormous power, the
control of public opinion, for the
purpose of permanently establish
ing starvation wages and slave con-
ditions for the workers engaged in
the newspaper industry.
Bosses Dictated Codes
The graphic arts code, too. was
dictated by the bosses and their
organizations. The 40-hour week
is set up as maximum in prin-
clple, but in practice, the 48-hour
week is permitted (six shifts of
eight hours per day after which
time overtime shall be paid) The
Code provides for $40 hours within
thirteen weeks which, in effect,
means that during busy seasons
workers will put in 48 hours and
overtime and then when things slow
down they will be laid off In this
manner they will avoid technical
violation of the law.
In the matter of wages, differen-
tiation is here made between skilled
and unskilled workers. Also, the
graphic arts field is divided into two
)lasses: towns under $4,000 popu-
btion and those over that figure.
eparate wage schedules are set up
br each class.

The stage was set today for what

Duke Ruppenthal, clever Milwau-

will have to abandon his usual
straight graphing tactics to cope
with the customary illicit tricks of
Jack Domar, Of Austin. Both men
are familiar to local fans, having
appeared here several times in the

TRADITION to the contrary,
i three maidens-Apollo, 1882;
Sir Barton, 1919; and Brokers Tip,
1888 - have won the Kentucky
Derby. And if you listen to the
predictions of railbids, you'll hear
that Sir Thomas will again turn
the trick.
Sir Thomas already has been
named the poor mans horse" be-
cause he is owned by Alex Gordon,
a man who has come up from the
ranks. AS a matter of record, the
poor mans horse" seldom reaches
prominence. j. A. BeSt's Reveille
Boy was the last to gain fame.
Plenty of the bunch players have
laid wagers on the chances of Sir
Thomas. That Sir" in front of
his name, as it was in front of Sir
Barton'S, makes a lot of difference
to them. Both were second in the
Futurity.
Another of the nobility" Reign
Count, was second in the Futurity.
and then went on to win the Derby.
CIR THOMAS prominence in the
~ Derby rests on two things-his
Futurity race, and his present we'll
advanced condition. Old timers who
have watched him train consider
him just as good a prospect, if not
better, than Head Play was last
year.
Alex Gordon paid $1,000 for the
son of Sir Galahad Ill Breathing
Spell at the Saratoga sales. He
did not win race in eleven starts,
was second only twice, third three
times, and out of the money six
times His second in the Futuritv
earned $4,000.
LIE started at 40 to l odds in the
l. Il Futurity, and began like a
platter. Though he was second from
the rail in 16-horse field, he broke
eleventh and dropped back another
notch. But at that point Pascuma
got the colt into stride. He took Sir
Thomas to the inside rail, where the
mud was deepest, but Y e the
going was clear of interfe ICE, and
brought him past the pack.
Sir Thomas would have beaten
Singing Wood in one more lump
and was clearly going the fastest at
the end. After that race Gordon
retired the colt, and has bent every
effort since to prepare his horse for
the Kentucky Derby.
