RESEARCH FOR THE WORKERS

The international Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers started seven
years ago to gather facts and figures
that might be of use in negotiating
with employers. 1t required local un-
ions to keep data on wages and hours,
types of work performed, employment
and unemployment.
Marion Hedges, research director Of
the IBEW, reports that this work is
still somewhat sketchy with mary
locals, but with many others has
proved its value beyond question.
They found" he says, they" be-
ing the unions that kept records clos
est, that during the vexing days Of
the depression, they had at last dis
covered a way equitably to rotate
work. Their research books docketed
every member as to his prior employ
ment and made it possible to route
him to jobs on the basis Of that en-
ployment. Locals found that they
had basis even for predicting trends
Of wrok in types Of construction, and
could take better care Of their mem
bers."

u. S. Coal Miners Lead
Europe in Daily Output

Geneva (ILNS) American coal
miners, who have the shortest work
day of any miners in the world, pro-
duce more coal than the miners of
any European country. says a report
on the world coal industry now un-
der preparation by the international
Labor Office.
The report shows that in 1885 BIZ
luminous coal miners of the United
States obtained more than five times
as much daily production as Belgian
miners; more than four times as much
as French miners and more than three
times as much as British miners.
The report will be submitted to
the world coal conference to open at
Geneva, May 2.

.ese are accustomed to a standard of
living that would be slow starvation
for Americans. They can work in
mass production industries as eff
ciently as our own workers and are
doing it, especially in textiles. What
lis commonly called the most effective
loom in the world is a japanese de
velopment Of western looms; and a
trained japanese worker can tend so
Of them. Probably they could do as
well as we on the assembly lines of
an auto plant. And the raw materials,
produced virtually in slavery if Japan
wins this war, would be surprising
cheap.
No one who has watched American
capital at home, in Cuba and II Mex
leo would expect our high fnanciers
to refuse to make money out Of the
cheapest and hardest driven labor;
mot even il his profits We're built on
the ruin Of the industries at home.
But there are several reasons why this
bonanza is not likely to be realized;
and the first Of them is that the Jap
anese conquest Of China seems to be
running into great difficulties.

Under a tyranny, or under an oil
garchy, the individual usually finds
it expedient to point out how lovely
everything is.
In democracy he can say what
he thinks about high and mighty in
stitutions, and if enough say things
they can get action. AS long as polit-
ical government remains democratic
there is chance for freedom in every
direction.
Political governments determine
where the shooting is to be done.
That's why criticism is unhealthy
in Italy, Germany and Russia.
We may have grievous industrial
evils and also grievous political evils,
but as long as the people have enough
grip on their political governments
to maintain freedom to speak, write
and organize, they can get where they
want to go.
It's when tyrants replace congresses
that the shooting starts. One man has
no trouble ordering out the firing
squad. It's a different matter when
there are elected representatives to

Masses under dictatorship will COM
prehend that some day, though the

A visit of an ILNS reporter to the
u. S. Public Health Service in Wash
ington brings the good as far
as it goes-that there is no serious
epidemic of disease in the war zone
of China to kill those whom the Japs
may spare, and spread abroad over
the world. The consular reports from
Chinese cities shown no such threat.
Sickness there is; but smallpox ap-
pears to be declining; cholera is pres
ent only in its perennial homes and
not rampant there; no plague is re-
ported at all; and the only typhus
fever that worries the health authori-
ties is in Spain, not in China.
There is terrific suffering in the
war zone of China; but most of it is
due to homelessness and starvation
both of which deserve the label:

N. Y. Factory Employment
Shows Little Net Change


Albany, N. Y. (ILNS)-There was
little net change in employment and
payrolls in New York factories from
the middle of February to the middle
of March, Industrial Commissioner
Elmer F. Andrews reports. This
statement followed a preliminary tab
ulation covering 2,051 representative
factories throughout the state which
report each month to the New York
state department of labor. The
March period over the last % years
has shown an average increase of
about 1.10 per cent in employment and
a gain of about 80 per cent in pay
rolls.

MAYO LEARNING WHAT PROBLEM
 OF TRAFFIC IS
Livingston WerneckeF Flying South = Says New
 Roads Going In

Small and remote Mayo, Y. T.. is experiencing growing pains and for the first time is beginning to feel a throbbing pulse of metropolitanism brought about by increasing traffic problems.
 Livingston Wernecke, G en CT a l Manager of the Treadwell- Yukon mines at Keno Hill, near Mayo, stopping over in Juneau to make a routine inspection of the Alaska Juneau workings, for which he is Consulting Geologist, arrived in Ju- neau Sunday from Mayo and laugh ingly remarked that everyone seems to be getting automobiles
 Build 36 Miles
 This summer, 36 miles of good highway were completed from Mayo to the mine, taking the place of a rough truck and caterpillar trail.
 Even our Japanese cook bought a car Wernecke said. and I be- lieve. there are a lot more cars coming in next summer
 Still another road is under con struction from Minto on the Yukon River to connect with the mine and make it possible for ore to be trucked 80 miles to the Yukon in- stead of the Stewart at Mayo.
 Outlet Provided
 Twenty-six miles of this road were completed this summer, Wer- necke said, and it is hoped the remainder of the road will be built next season, giving the rich Mayo mines an outlet to the two rivers and permit of larger ore shipments, now limited because of the small tonnage it is possible to carry on the small Stewart River.
 Wernecke flew in to Juneau from Mayo with his pilot, Slim" Crops tis, and expected to fly south today, weather permitting"

 Other diplomatic posts followed. He was assigned as advisor to Ad- miral George Dewey in the Philip pines, served as commercial com- missioner in Japan, China, Korea and Australia, and in 1901 was a United States delegate to the Pan- American conference in Mexico. He was minister to Argentina two years and then, in 1904. was given his most delicate assignment, that of minister to Panama.

Colombia in a bloodless revolution. The United States was putting through its agreement for construc- ton of the Panama Canal. Rela- tions of the three countries were difficult and complex.
 The suave Barrett kept the dis putes on an amicable plane. And he so won the confidence of Co., lombian officials that he was chos- en a year later to go to Bogota as minister and negotiate settle ment of Colombias claims arising from secession of Panama and es- tablishment of the Canal zone.
 Triumph in B0gOta
 Barrett's Bogota tenure was at tended by great success. He put through the first protocol for set tlement of the claims and did much to establish cordial relations be- tween Colombia and the United States. It was a personal triumph, for only short months before the women of Bogota had been shear ing their tresses to make a rope "to hang the first Yankee who comes here."
 From Bogota, Barrett went to the dictatorship of the Pan-American Union. He retired in 1920 and in his latter years devoted much of his time to writing.

man, left the print.
Police Chemist Ray Pinker found
the print. He made enlarged photo
graphs of it which police will COM
pare with shoes of any suspects
that may be questioned.
THE print is clear" said Pinker
"And it obviously was left in the
car approximately at the time OF
Gray's death. The shoe that made
the print can easily be identified
and the man wearing the shoe
either is the killer or has vital in

King was killed during the early
hours of Thursday morning while
he sat in the parked car reading
Dear Daddy" letter from Miss
Frances Bleakley. The camerman,
AZ married, father of two children,
had posed as single man while he
dated her. He had come from a gay
party with two women and another
man few hours before. A partly
emptied bottle was in the car.
Miss Bleakley is 20, tall and at
tractive brunette who formerly at
tended the University of Southern
California here. Police believed at
first that Gray may have been shot
by some man or woman jealous OF
his association with Miss Bleakley
The mans footprint eliminated the
possibility of jealous woman, how
ever, the police said.
