11S,O00 Factory Workers
Lost Their Jobs in June

Washington, D. c. Employers who
operate American industries contrib
uted to industrial recovery negatively
during June by discharging $4,000
persons as compared with May en-
plyoment, and decreasing weekly pay
rolls by S4,100,O00, according to fig
ures made public by Secretary of La
Dor Frances Perkins.
A survey made by the department
of labor including so per cent Of all
business and industry showed that
employers covered had 10000 fewer
persons on their payrolls in June tnan
in May, with reduction of 100000
in pay envelope contents. Assuming
that the same percentage of dismissals
took place in the remaining so per
cent of business and industry, en-
ployers as whole threw 10000 work
ers into the unemployed army during

LABOR MAYOR
Provides Work For AleXan-
dria Striking Shirt
Makers

Alexandria, Mayor Davidson,
Of Alexandria, who is also secretary
treasurer Of the international Asso-
citation of Machinists with headquar-
tiers in Washington, d. G., developed a
temporary self-help plan for the needy
among one hundred women employed
by the Century Manufacturing Com
pany here who struck against low
wages. The concern manufactures
shirts.
The city council gave the mayor the
use Of an unocupied building where the
strikers were put to work making
shirts for the Virginia emergency re-
lief administration under the direc-
tion of Rebe Donald, strike leader.
In discussing the conditions which
caused the strike, Mayor Dawson
stressed the case of widow with
three children to support whose pay
envelope for one week prior to the
strike contained $2.61. OF this she
had to pay 81 for rent. which left but
G1 cents for food for herself and
children.
Mr.. Dawson said the company paid
no employe more than 81 week, al
though they had been promised be-
tween $40 and S14 when hired.

An Object Lesson
In Auto Employment

The Packard Motor Car Company
cleared $15oo,O00 net profits last year.
Packard profits are fiat contradic-
tion Of one favored plea of the auto
industry. Employment in the auto
industry is more irregular than in
any other important business. In
some years, 80 per cent or more of
the workers employed in one month
were idle in other months Auto en-
ployers claim that this up and down
is unavoidable, and that it would
break them to give steady work.
Packard is the one important ex-
ception. It is anti-union, like the rest
of the auto plants, but it does recog-
nize the obligation to give it's men
steady work. Ninety per cent Of
Packard workers have 48 weeks or
more employment per year and the
plant is prospering.

new YORK CITY
Becomes Strikebreaking
Agency

New York, N Y.-John Mulholland,
director of recreational facilities of
the New York city park department,
sent over so strikebreakers in depart
ment trucks from all parts of Brook
lyn to the municipality owned Dyker
Heights golf course in an effffort to
defeat 200 striking caddies who walk
ed out of the links demanding ST in
stead of IS cents for an eighteen-hole
round
The caddies claimed that in a good
week under the 75-cent rate they only
earned from $3.50 to $40, and insisted
the ST rate was necessary to provide
decent living.
In defending the use of the strike
breaking boys, Mr.. Mulholland de-
clared the city had spent about $780,
900 to get the golf course in good
shape. 1T cannot well afford" he
said TO allow strike to render the
links virtually useless to the public :
Joseph P. Ryan, president of the
Central Trades and Labor Council,
condemned Mr.. Mulholland's action.
"The striking caddies have the
whole-hearted support Of all union
men in the city," he said. IF Mr..
Mulholland is not careful he may dis
cover that none Of the strikers may
go back to work until he has been
removed from his posrt for brazenly
reactionary attitude toward labor"

air to Wall Streets laboring Spir-

Tor q change, as the 1. C. C. freight

Temporarily, and that there are
too many bears around.
Bond dealers are marveling at
the changed status of State and
municipal issues in the last year.
It wasn't so long ago that many
of these bonds were selling on a
yield basis of 6 per cent and more,
with few takers now they are
well above par, and the demand
rising because of the Treasury S
calling of the Liberties. AS a gen.
eral rule, bond houses have been
doing comparatively we'll while
their stock and commodity breth'

had been harboring a Sizeable
short interest.

wondered whether this country
