Tough For Eosterners

The West is much too good for the
East and this fact was once more dem
onstrated on the hardwood in Atlantic
City this year.
Some rs potters spent their last
night at the shore watching the East
go down to defeat in both the two
man and fiveman matches. Both
proved easy for the victors.
President Duffy and Fifth Vice
President Turner rolling for the West
defeated First Vice President Wheat
ley and Delegate Newell by 40 pins,
while the five-man match ended up
with the fasteners some n pins to the
bad. Duffy and Turner had previously
outrelled their opponents twice.
The five-men teams were composed
of Duffy, Turner, Shook, Dickey and
Shinn for the West and Wheatley,
Newell, Carolin, Cook and Newell for
the East.

Tips for Hit Dog Stand Attendants
"For instance, we have at the pres
ent time large industry, gigantic
industry, that has come to the fore in
the last few years, particularly since
the automobile has been used so ex-
tensively.
"Mr. Flore (president of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Interna-
tional League of America) would
know all about that, industry. That is
what we call the wayside industry.
That is what we used to call the hot
dog industry but we call it now the
wayside industry.
"They carry on in the cities as we'll
as in the country. They sell very cheap
food; it is curb service, and the women
employed to great extent in that in
dustry are receiving practically no
wages at all. They have to depend
upon the tips they are able to get.
"Those tips, as you can readily see,
are very small, because if person
buys 10 cents, Is cents, or rs cents
worth of food at the curb, surely the
tip would not be more than S cents,
if they received a tip at all. They have
to furnish uniforms and keep the uni
forms in order. They have to be good
looking girls. In winter they cannot
put on their coats to serve at the curb
because they must show their fine uni
forms.
Wages in Laundries and Homework
"Then we have the laundry indus
try, where women are being paid very
small wages for very hard days
work. Then we have the industrial
home work. am mentioning these
few because they are the drags of So
ciety, and in them are employed the So,
called marginal workers, and it is for
them it is so necessary to have mini
mum wage legislation and to have
hour legislation for women and
minors.
Minimum Wage Standard Desired
ut is not for those who can take
care of themselves through the trade
union movement, but for those who
need floor under their wages and a
ceiling over their hours. 1t is for that
reason some of us are very concerned
about getting certain legislation for
women only. We would like to see it
extended for men; but if the men don't
want it, it is not necessary for us to
ask for it.
Trade Union Education Emphasized
81 am glad to be here today. You
have large convention and it shows
a great deal of growth. l know the
trade union movement is very in
structive movement and movement
that stands for education, tolerance
and understanding. l recognize the
necessity of academic education, but
think for the workers there is no
education like the one that is received
in the trade union movement. l feel
that very strongly. 1t has been my
educator, if I have any education at
all. So l feel very strongly that the
women must be part of the trade
union movement, as they are part of
the workers today.
