5000 Silk Workers
Strike For More Pay

Paterson, N. j. (ILNS)-More than
5000 broad silk workers here went on
strike October 81.

Of the United Textile Workers of
America, are asking a raise in piece
rates which would enable the workers
to earn a minimum of about $40 a
week Their present income is from
So to S13, or even less in times of
slack work
Mayor John Y Hinchcliff of Pater-
son, has been working for weeks to
bring about settlement. The may
ors negotiators recently proposed a
joint committee of works and manu-
facturers. The manufacturers killed
this hope for peace by failing to name
their men for the committee, claim
ing that the questions raised by the
union must be settled on a national
scale.

disbandment of the United Anthra-
cite Miners Of Pennsylvania, the in
surgent union movement in District
No of the United Mine Workers

ARTHUR HENDERSON
DIES
Labor Man; Foe of War
By A. F. Of L. News Service.

By A. r. Of L. News Service.
The death of Arthur Henderson,
president of the World Disarmament
Conference and former British For
eign secretary, in London, at the age
of 72 takes from the labor and peace
movements of the world a person who
was universally loved by all Of his
associates.
He became member of parliament
in 1919 and took an active part in
the leadership of the labor party
whose forces assumed the response
bility of government on two occa-
sions. During both of these periods
Mr.. Henderson was foreign secretary.
In the last period he filled this office
from 1929 till 1881, when the labor
party was defeated.
In 1882 he became president of the
international Disarmament Confer
ence at Geneva.
Although greatly disappointed at
the failure Of the disarmament pro-
gram his friends believe he really died
happy man, for when he won the
Nobel peace prize last year he said
he regarded it as the greatest honor
any man could achieve.

PRESIDENT
OF Job and Pay Increases To
Balance Gain in Output

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-In a
series of conferences with industrial
magnates last week, President Roose-
velt told these gentlemen some facts
which organized labor has been re-
citing for two years. Briefly, the
president declared:
That industrial output is about 80
per cent of what it was five years
ago.
That employment in producing this
output is only 80 per cent of what
it was five years ago.
That the payrolls of the workers
now employed in industry tare barely
"a per cent of their size five years
ago.
In other words, while production in
industry is only 10 per cent behind
that of 1880, employment has dropped
18 per cent and wages 26 per cent.
Organized labor has been saying sub
stantially the same thing since re-
covery began.
The great need, President Roose-
velt indicated to his visitors, is to
have private industry step up un-
employment and wages to the levels
already reached by production. If this
were done, he intimated, the federal
relief problem would be well on the
road to solve itself.

A' CARRIES o.
DOUGHBOYS FIND HELP At
RED CROSS CHAPTERS
First Charter Obligation Remains
One of Chief Duties
BY David S. ingalls,
Chairman, Ohio Roll Call Committee

Red Cross Chapters they told their
story and the Red Cross officials be-
came their sponsors from that day
on. Never stopping until compensa-
tion had been allotted to the veteran,
the Red Cross would carry his case
to Washington and stay with it until
it had hearing.
In many cases veterans are desti-
tute when they make this last appeal
to the Red Gross. Then the "Great-
est Mother" takes care of them as
she did in France. Direct relief in
food, clothing and shelter is given
to the man and his family until such
a time as he can receive compensa-
ton from the Government
Many a sad conversation is hidden
behind the closed doors Of a Red
Cross conference room, and yolum-
nous are the praises Of these ex-
service men, who, when they were
nearly ready to give up the unequal
struggle, found the Red Cross and
peace and happiness.

R. C. CAMP PAIGNS TO
PREVENT ACCIDENTS
Program Inaugurated in Local
Chapters to Cut Down Farm
and Home Accidents

The American Red Cross has launched
nationwide campaign to eliminate
hazards In the home and on the farm
that now take an annual toll of nearly
$4,000 lives. according to recent state
ment by James l.. Fieser, vice chairman
in charge of domestic operations.

Mr.. Fieser said Hazards In the vari-
GUS communities will be pointed out.

the home hazards and asked to enroll
parents or relatives In the fight against
them"
Nearly five million men. women, and
children were temporarily disabled In
the homes Of America last year by ac-
cidents, officials OF the National Safety
Council have revealed. Most of the &C.
cidents in which persons were killed
and injured could have been prevented,
according to this safety agency, this
fact alone largely motivating the Red
Cross drive for accident elimination.
Active cooperation of social. civic,
educational, veterans and other groups
has been secured Red Cross inspection

tributed to homes where there are no

When the American Expedition
ary Forces were dernobilized in 1919
and 1920 many of the men seemed to
be in normal health, but the rigors
of that awful war were such that
few men could brave them without
feeling some i'll effects sooner or
later. So it was that as the months
stretched into years many ex-seryice
men began TO develop organic dis
orders of one kind and another.
Many were partially or wholely dis
abled for any active business pur-
suits.
Having been discharged from the
army in supposed good health these
men could not, without the greatest
extra effort receive compensation
from the Government that was their
due. 1t was in this instance that the
Red Cross stepped in. These poor
men were totally unable to present
their petitions to the Veterans Ad-
n1inistration, but on appearing at
