Labor Queries Questions and Answers on La bor What It Has Done Where It Stands on Problems of the Day Ita Aim and Program Who's Who in the Ranks of the Organized Toilers, etc., etc. Q.—What American trade first used a union label? —TOT union A.—The Union Label Trades De partment of the American Federation of Labor says: "While the cigar mak ers are generally allowed to be the inventors and sponsors of the earliest trade union label, a similar device was used six years earlier, in 1869, by the carpenters' eight-hour league of San Francisco. This league furnished a stamp to all planing mills, operating on the eight-hour plan in order that they might be able to identify the work of the ten-hour mills." —Who is A. Philip Randolph? A.—General organizer of the Broth erhood of Sleeping Car Porters. Q.—Where is a governor being sued for damages for the death of a strik er? A.—In Colorado, where Gov. Adams is defendant in a suit for damages brought on behalf of the widow and six children of John B. Eastenes, one of eight strikers shot and killed by Colorado State police a^ the Columbus mine last November. The winner of the mine, its superintendent and others are also named in the suit. Q.—What Is a short definition of a trade .union? A.—An organized association of workmen formed for the protection and promotion of their cmmon inter ests. A longer definition is: An organ ization, voluntarily constituted, for the beterment of wages, hours and working conditions, of people engaged on similar materials, using similar tools and producing similar results. -ANVMMNFWMMMMWM The Ralston Paint Co. 1 K ^iiNVTm Al V-' V.J VJA A AS THE WORKER SEES HIS_W0RLD Sell Pure Paint Summary and Digest of Important Events of the Week, Here and Abroad The American Federation of Labor's Executive Council on August 7 re iterated its non-partisan political pol icy and declined to endorse either Governor Smith or Secretary Hoover for president. By completion of automatic train controls between Poughkeepsie and Croton, the New York Central Rail road became on August 9, the first railroad with a lino between- New York and Chicago protected by electric de vices to stop trains in emergencies without human aid. Accidents in the textile industry are both too frequent and too severe, the Committee on Safety and Production of the American Engineering Council reported August 6. Senator Kenneth D. McKellar, backed by organized labor, over whelmingly defeated^ Representative Finis J. Garrett for the senatorial nomination 'in the Democratic pri maries in Tennessee on August 2. Representative Thomas L. Blanton and Eugene Black of Texas, both out standing enemies of organized -labor, were beaten in the recent Texas pri mary election, Blanton running fourth in the race for the senatorial nomi nation and piack being defeated for renomination. Meeting in Washington, the execu tives of the' railroad labor organiza tions decided not to endorse any can didate for' the presidency but to refer the subject to the various organiza tions for any action they might see fit to take. Living costs in American cities now average from 16 to 25 per cent lower than in 1920, according to a report of the United States Department of Labor. The immediate reestablishment of relations with* Russia would be one of the first actions of the Labor Party were it to return to power, declared Ramsay McDonald, former Labor Prime Minister of England, in a re cent interview in Montreal. The Paris police on August 5 broke up a big meeting of Communists and arrested 1,500. «, 3rd and Market Sts.

Arthur Henderson, British labor lead er, described the development of post war Socialism as "encouraging." A presidential warrant for the ar rest of Henry M. Blackmer, millionaire oil man and missing witness in the Teapot Dome oil scandal, has been is sued, it was announced on August 4 The next meeting of the A. F. of L. Executive Council will be held Oct«» ber 18 in Washington, D. C. The Massachusetts State Board of Conciliation and Arbitration opened an investigation of the New.Bedford textile strike on August 8, as the strike spread to Fall River mills. WAGE PARLEY FAILS WANT PAUPER SCALE Columbus, Ohio.—Miners and coial owners failed to reach a wage agree ment, following announcement by tht Policy Committee of the international union that the Jacksonville agreement would be replaced by district agree ments. Some Ohio coal owners insist on a "continued competitive feature, whereby successive drops of wages in the anti-union fields of Kentucky and West Virginia will be met by similar reductions by the Ohio Miners' Union. This is the position that the coal owners have taken during the 16 strike^ s r. V' BOY BOOTBLACKS Still Ply Trade on City Streets Washington, D. C. (I. L. N. S.).— Shoe-shining parlors and indoor stands have not yet driven the boy bootblack from the city streets. In all but one of seven cities in which the Children's Bureau of the United States Depart ment of Labor made a survey of all kinds'of juvenile street workers, some boys reported that they were boot blacks. Although some cities had only a few, Newark had 387 and Wilkes-' Barre 75. "Bootblacking by children, like ped dling, should be prohibited by street trades regulations," the bureau says, in reporting the results of the survey. "The work has many of the disadvan tages of newspaper selling without such advantages in~ the way of train ing as selling papers may have." In Newark 43 per cent and in Wilkes-Barre 47 pr cent of the boys were under 12 years of age. In each of the cities the bootblack was more, retarded in school than any other group of street workers and the pro portion of bootblacks with juvenile court records was almost twice that for newspaper sellers in Wilkes-Barre, the only city for which this informa tion was obtained. The bureau's survey indicated that certain legal provisions are essential to even moderately successful control of the street trades problem. The first of these, the report says, is a specific law or regulation applying to the street worker. School authorities and labor officials have found that most street work can not be regulated by a general child labor law, the word "em ploy" in the latter type of law being almost invariably construed to mean the purchasing of the services of one person by another, a technicality which deprives the "little street mer chant" of the protection afforded oth er working children. Satisfactory regulations included a badgesystem the placing of responsi bility for enforcement definitely upon a single official .and the control of the issuance of badges and of street in spections by the same agency. 2 DREAM-HEARER By MARY CAROLYN DAVIES Where weary folk toil, black with And hear but whistles scream, I went, all fresh from dawn and dew, To carry them a dream.
