Doyle
Must Testify
Bridges Case
Former Portland Attorney
Given Orders by
Federal Judge

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. IS.
Federal Judge Louderback has or
dered Larry Doyle to testify in the
Harry Bridges deportation case. The
former Portland attorney and spec
ial investigator refused to testify
Wednesday unless ordered to do so
by a Federal District Court. Doyle
insisted that he be given a public
hearing for the testimony.
Judge Louderback ruled that Doyle
had no right to demand a public
hearing and he must testify or face
contempt of court citation.
Doyle arrived in San Francisco
from Minnesota a day after exam
liner James Lands had left for Cam
bridge, Mass. Before he left Lands
asked John Clarkson of the Federal
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion to act as a special examiner in
taking Doyle's testimony at a closed
hearing.
The Bridges defense charged that
Doyle assembled most of the evil
dence the government presented in
its effort to show that the labor
leader is a Communist and plotter
of violence. Several defense Witness
es testified that Doyle offered
them money or other inducements
to furnish evidence against Bridges

CONVENTION HITS
ANTI-LABOR LAWS

Cincinnati, Ohio.-The delegates to
the American Federation of Labor
adopted with enthusiasm the recon-
mendation of the committee on state
organizations that all affiliated units
cooperate to prevent the enactment
of reactionary state laws affecting
labor.
The subject was brought to the at
tention of the convention by the re-
port of the executive council that 'a
repetition of the landslide of good
labor laws enacted in 1887 was per-
haps not to be expected in every long
legislative year, but the output of the
"A legislatures that met this year
was meager if not downright reac-
tionary"
To meet this emergency the con-
vention urged "that all organizations
cooperate with the State Federations
Of Labor in their continued effort to
combat all reactionary legislation
having for it's object the restriction
of the normal functions of trade
unions, and press for the enactment
of remedial and protective legislation
for all wage earners."

sets October "a, 1915, as the statutory

be paid to all workers engaged in
interstate commerce or in the produc-

Over 12,6OO,OOO Benefit
Revised estimates of all workers
covered by the act, Wage-Hour Divi-
sion officials said, indicate that with
increased employment over last year,
total of more than 12,600,000 are
entitled to it's benefits.
One-third of the 100000 who have
received increases in wages live in
the southern states and are employed
in sawmills, textiles, cotton seed oil,
and fertilizers.
Nine out of ten employees who are
receiving increased wages, or re-
duction in hours, are employed in
sawmills, millwork, furniture, tex
tiles, knit goods, mems clothing, wom-
EMS clothing, shirts and collars, boots
and shoes, cotton seed oil, and fer
tilizers. These twelve industries en-

Went Into Effect Midnight of Oct. %

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Wage
increases for 100000 American work
ers went into effect at midnight of
October 23, according to estimates
made by the Wage and Hour Divi-
sion, u. S. Department of Labor.
At the same time, an estimated to-
tai of 2,382,5O0 workers, employed in
every state of the Union, had their
hours reduced from A to AZ per week,
or will receive overtime pay at the
rate Of time and one-half the regular
wage rate for hours worked in excess
of that number,
These changes are statutory provi-
sions of the Fair Labor Standards
Act which automatically increase the
minimum wage from 25 to 80 cents
an hour, and reduce the regular work
week from "A to az hours. Higher
increases in wages have been estab-
lished after recommendation of in
dustry committees, for the hosiery
and textile industries.
Two Wage Orders Issued

lS, set the minimum Of 321a cents per
hour for all employees in the seamless
branch of the hosiery industry, and
minimum Of 40 cents per hour for
all employees Of the full-fashioned
branch of the industry. A second
wage order, effective October "a, es-
tablished a minimum wage of S21a
cents for all employees in the textile
industry. These wage orders increase
the minimum wage of 221,000 workers

mittees must, as rapidly as possible
without causing curtailment of EN-
