Quarterly Report Due

Columbus (OLNS) reports
to be required of employers on the
quarterly earnings of individual work
ers, with a quarterly summary report
to each employer covering all work
ers and their total wages payable in
the first quarter of 1888, were sent
out this week by the Ohio unemploy-
ment compensation commission.
Information contained in these re-
ports will be used by the commission
in calculating benefits to the unem-
ployed in 1889. The quarterly earn
ings report required for each worker
includes all wages payable in that
quarter in addition to all other re-
muneration, such as bonuses, gifts,
room and board, tips and gratuities.

NLRB Takes Jurisdiction
Over Cooperative

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-The
NLRB has extended it's jurisdiction to
agricultural co-operatives, issuing
cease and desist order against the
North Whittier Heights Citrus AssoS
citation, Puente, Calf.
1t directed the North Whittier
group, a cooperative association OF
200 citrus fruit growers, to reinstate
with back pay 27 packing house work
ers; to refrain from spying on union
meetings, and to cease interfering
with the rights of employees to organ
ize for collective bargaining.
Board action was based upon evil
dence that the association had at
tempted to discourage membership OF
its employees in the Citrus Packing
House Workers Union, an American
Federation of Labor affiliate.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

give work to the unemployed, the re-
suit of paying higher prices for ma
terials means fewer men put to work.
"To the degree that in our PWA
program we have had to pay higher
rather than lower prices for mate
rials, have we failed to employ as
many men as could have been en-
ployed. The more money paid out for
materials, the fewer projects for the
money, and the fewer persons given
work"
Gov. Elmer A. Benson and the Uni
versity of Minnesota are receiving
high praise from leading educators
in all parts of the country for the
board of regents action in reinstat-
ing Prof. William A. Schaper, who
was discharged without hearing
twenty years ago, in the heat and
fever of World War days, after he
had made speeches opposing the
United States entrance in the war.
Prof. Schaper was an instructor in
political science at the university un.
til his expulsion, and is now mem
Der of the faculty of the University
of Oklahoma.
Action on his case was instigated
by Gov. Benson, who recommended
his reinstatement.
The executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers, meeting
last December, made Prof. Schaper's
case a paramount issue at its session
and urged that the discharged profes-
sor be given an opportunity to return
to his post at the Minnesota Uni
versity.

Contractors Plead Guilty

Brooklyn, N. Y. S)-Charged
with defrauding the state insurance
fund, and two insurance companies of
approximately $4,000 in compensa-
tion insurance premiums, eight Brook
lyn lathing contractors pleaded guilty
in the court of special sessions, and
were continued under bail for SEN
tence.
Explaining that duplicate or false
books containing payroll figures much
smalled than those acually paid to
employees had been submitted to in
surance carriers by these men, Elmer
F. Andrews, state industrial commits
sioner, said the cases represented the
first successful prosecutions for vio-
lations of this kind.

FRIDAY, APRIL /, 1888
TAXES AND THE SUPREME
COURT

How many people know that JUS
tice Black is the only member Of the
supreme court who has paid or is pay
ing income taxes this year on his
salary of last year?
Such is the case. The income tax
amendment gave congress power to
tax incomes "from whatever source
derived; and naturally most folks
supposed that this included judicial
salaries. But in the case Of Evans
vs.. Gore, the supreme court decided
that no federal judge who was on the
bench when the first income tax law
was passed need pay any tax on his
salary. Justices Holmes and Brand
els dissented.
Senator La Toilette is planning to
amend the taxing bill when it comes
before the senate so as to bring this
matter before the supreme court
again. He wants, also, to collect
taxes on the salaries of state,
county and city officials, just as if
those salaries were paid by a corpora
ton.
As a matter Of fact, the supreme
court has already reversed itself on
one of the most important of taxing
matters. In two cases, the supreme
court held that the federal govern
ment could not tax incomes derived
oil lands held on a lease from a state.
The liberals on the court dissented
both times; Mr.. Justice Brandeis
wrote a scorching dissent in Burnet
VS.. Colorado. Congressman Lewis, Of
Maryland, one of the closest students
of taxation on the hill, estimates that
these decisions cost the government
$4,000, 100000 OF revenue
But few weeks ago, Chief Justice
Hughes wrote the opinion Of the court
deliberately mentioning and revers-
ing Burnet VS.. Coronado. Senator La
Toilette may give the court the chance
TO do the same again.

THE ETHICS OF BIG BUSINESS

If you want to know the full meas
ure of the high minded patriotism
with which big business comes to
Washington, here is your chance. On
September II, 1884, Judge R. "
Fletcher, counsel for the Association
Of American Railroads, wrote letter
from which the following is taken
Il am seeking to assemble a very
complete record Of each member Of
congress, with particular reference to
the influences which control him and
the persons upon whom he relies for
support.
Il should be glad, therefore, if you
could send me with reference to each
member of congress and each sena-
tor, dealing with each one separately,
for fling purposes, a statement as to
who he IS; where he lives, what pro-
fession he follows, what is his local
and political background, and partic-
ularly who are his friends, advisors
and sponsors in each of the counties
of his congressional district 1t is
a stupendous job, but it is not impos-
sible, / think, for US to establish con-
tact with influential persons who are
The real moulders of public opinion.
Note this letter carefully. Not a
word to show that the writer realizes
that a congressman has duty to
his people. Not word about con-
vincing the people or the congress
men that the demands Of the railroads
are just Nothing Of the sort. The
whole effort is to "get something" on
congressman; to make them dc
through pressure something that they
plainly would not do as a matter Of
public service.

GREAT PART OF
INCOME
Goes For Bare Necessities

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Two
surveys of what American families
consume have been finished at the
same time. The department of labor
made an exhaustive study of 1,217
native white families in Providence,
Rhode Island. The public affairs COM
mittee gathered up facts from the
| department of agriculture, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and took the
WPA study of consumer purchases
| And the extent to which these two
surveys supplement and confirm each
other is nothing less than remarkable
Food Cost Rises With Income
Only few samples of each can be
given. The department of labor found:
That with families whose income
is around $3.50 year, 80 per cent
Of that income goes for food, clothing
That food per meal for an adult
and shelter.
male costs II cents in the poorest
families, IL cents where the family
has about $1,250 per year, and 81
cents where the family has $500 a
year or more.
That families with income of less
than $1,250 a year usually have net
deficits.
That with families of less thar
$4,000 year, life insurance pre-.
miums are the chief saving.
Best Record in Pacific Northwest
The best sample of the findings Of
the public affairs committee is giver
below:
'In study made in two cities o.
industrial New England, it wa:
found that the typical annual income
for families not on relief was 81 ,347-
half the families getting more ant
half less. In seven cities of the Cen
tral West, it was S1,147-just undel
500 month; while four cities of th
) Pacific Northwest bad the best rec
ord $1,555 a year, or just over $12
month.
"In two small cities of the South
the typical annual income was S1,25
for white families, and $419 for Ne
gro families. In New Orleans, whit
families received an average incom
of $1,310 and Negro families an aver
age Of $841"

ACCIDENTS SLUMP
WITH EMPLOYMENT
Industrial Hurts, Fatalities
Declined in February
(By Ohio Labor News Service)

(By Ohio Labor News Service)
Columbus. - Industrial fatalities
and accident frequency continued to
show a sharp decline in February,
indicating the slump in employment
prevalent throughout the state and
the effectiveness of the safety cam
paign conducted by the division of
safety and hygiene of the industrial
commission.
There were 2,877 fewer injury and
occupational disease claims filed
with the industrial commission last
month than in January, and the 94
fatal claims filed were 19 less than
in the previous month.
"While the accident records of the
state are usually a good indication
of the trend of employment, it is GER
tain that the reduction in accident
frequency has been greater than the
reduction in employment, and may
be taken as evidence of intensified
safety work of the division" Super
intendent Thomas p Kearns, of the
division Of safety and hygiene re-
ported.
Public employees headed the list of
fatalities with 16; metal goods had

For labor's sake and for the coun-

President Roosevelt told recent

it would be we'll nigh impossible to
make them pay their way. This is
due, not at all to wages, but to the
high figures on materials and "over-
