Employers Pay Back Wages;
Beet Sugar Workers Gain
By Efforts Of AAA Agents

Obviously, no man can support
a family on such an income for
the year, and the chance to get
odd jobs in the intervals, never
good, vanished with the depres-
sion. In Colorado, most Of the
beet workers are unskilled Mex
lean laborers; and it has come to
be taken for granted that they
shall go on relief almost as soon
as the season is finished. The
ideal labor force, from the own
er's point of view, is large fam
lily, all those members work in
the fields. Even with this family
labor, the annual wages are be-
low the subsistence level.
Several agents from the Children
Bureau in the department of labo
ire in the field, watching to see tina
he anti-child labor provisions of tn
contracts are observed.

MRS. ROOSEVELT
Urges Women to Do Utmost
To Prevent War

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-No
ocean is wide enough and no arma-
ments strong enough to keep modern
warfare from nations door, Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt said at her first
press conference of the fall. She
dwelt at length on the dangers of
war, and urged women to put the full
force of their influence on the side of
peace
Eve have always been accustomed
to thinking that wars are fought
chiefly by young men, in isolated ter
ritories, on fronts, somewhere Mrs.
Roosevelt said
THAT has come to an end, If you
had seen, as friend of mine has
seen, children in England being taught
to use gas masks, you would know
that fighting is no longer confined to
| any front.
I'VE think we are isolated by two
large oceans, but these oceans would
MT be a barrier for FIVE minutes. We
are still little more protected than
other nations, but we are drawing
closer every day.
i quite agree with women who be-
lieve we shouldn't disarm as long as
other nations are armed. But what we
call defenses would be of little value
in the next war.
Therefore, | think we should be-
gin thinking whether we want to save
our civilization or are willing to see
il destroyed by war
"War destroys and destroys until
the final point is reached where there
is nothing left to destroy, and we have
to begin trying to build up again.
/ cannot see why women, who are the
real eonservers of the race, don't see
this and expert pressure for peace"

Holds Business
Fayors New Era

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-Com-
menting on the August employment
report Of the Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics, Secretary of Labor Perkins said
that substantial body of business
opinion favors resuscitation of the
NRA."
Miss Perkins said August employ
ment, according to the Bureau Of
Labor Statistics, gained $4,000 work
ers. She refused to attribute the gian,
however, to any industrial momentum
resulting from the NRA.
"Of course, important effects of a
program of business cooperation are
cumulative. However, you cannot un-
scramble all the factors contributing
to employment gains" she said.
Practically all the industrialists |
meet, regret the passing of the NRA.
They say we've got to have something
to replace it.
Miss Perkins said that naturally
there were many exceptions to this
view.

PAYROLLS UP
155,0O0 More Workers
Found Jobs in August

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)--Manu-
featuring industries of the United
States added 10000 persons to their
payrolls between the middle Of July
and the middle of August, Secretary
OF Labor Perkins told the press rep
resentatives. The increase in manu-
featuring wages in the same time was
| SIS, 100000 a week Unfortunately, non
manufacturing industries in the same
time lost $4,000 workers and about
100000 in weekly wages; leaving the
net gain 155, 600 more workers and
$8,000,000 extra in the joint and sew
/ eral pay envelopes.
J Out of 90 manufacturing industries
examined, 68 showed gains in employ
ment and 72 in payrolls.
I Among the industries which showed
gains are blast furnaces; steel works,
rolling mills, electrical machinery,
foundries and machine shops, and
saw mills. So far, the list is calcu-
lated to cheer those economists who
think prosperity depends solely on
durable goods. But Secretary Per
kins Immediately went on to the list
Of industries which have gained in
jobs and pay envelopes; knit goods,
silk goods, woolen and worsted goods,
mems clothing, women's clothing,
boots and shoes, book printing and
canning.
/ The Federal Advisory Council made
an encouraging report from differ
ent point Of view. While the Bureau
of Labor Statistics gives detailed
facts, the business men of the Ad-
visory Council content themselves
with generalities. A member of the
Reserve Board who also belongs to
/ the council said the report is the
most optimistic summary Of business
conditions since the depressiin be-
gan"

sales, and in retail trade. The stock

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-Agents
of the AAA are now circulating
through the sugar beet regions, ad
justing disputes between those who
own the lands on which sugar beets
are raised and those who do the rails
ing. Mostly, the matter is one Of
getting the beet workers the back
pay which is still owing them from
the season of 1884.
The Costigan-Jone sugar act
championed through congress by
Senator E. P. Costigan, Of Colorado,
pays certain benefits to beet growers,
but makes it a condition of these
benefits that child labor shall not be
employed, and that reasonable rates
shall be paid the workers. Workers
and owners had to make their con-
tracts before the law was passed,
although it was intended to sover the
season of 1884. The upshot was that
the owners paid smaller sum than
was contemplated, and are being
asked to make up the deficit Consid
cradle progress is being made in this
direction; but the total absence of
labor unions is a handicap, as always.
Two Working Periods
The sugar beet season is something
like that of corn. There is a very
busy time beginning in the spring,
and lasting until July. After the
last hoeing, some time that month,
beet field work ceases until around
the first of October. Only about 120
days are actually spent in the beet
fields, on an average; but these days
are divided into two periods, sepa-
rated by two months or more of idle
ness.
Beet workers are paid by the acre,
not by the day or hour. The minimum
wage agreed upon, which is consider
ably higher than the wage paid be-
fore the AAA lntervened, ranges
from $3.50 an acre in southern
Colorado to S2150 in northern Wy
cming and southern Montana.
A grown worker, with some ex-
perience, can care for about 10 acres
Of beets. For the seasons main work,
therefore, he gets a minimum OF from
SITS to $215. As said before, it used
to be even less. This is supposed to
be compensation for four months of
actual work, spread over seven
months of time. In addition, the
worker is supposed to get "habitable
house" and suitable garden plot"
He seldom gets housing that the
owner would think at all habitable
for himself.

Check on Lawyers Who Denounced Measure As

set aside the law for a client is pre-
