Questions und Answers on La
bor: What It Has Done Where
It Stands on Problems of the
Day Its Aim snd Progrsm
Who's Who in the Ranks of
the Organized Toilers, etc., ete.
Q.—What prominent Catholic cler
gyman said: "Labor unions are un
doubtedly one of the most powerful
factors, if not the most powerful, in
securing high levels of wages. This
result is due not only to their specific
action on behalf of their members, but
also to their insistent preaching that
industrial prosperity depends pri
marily upon the possession of high
purchasing power by the workers"?
A.—Rev. John. A. Ryan, director,
department of social action, National
Catholic Welfare Conference.
Q»—When did the American Fed
eration of Labor first urge the gath
ering of accurate information on un
employment?
A.—In 1889, when the convention
held that year declared it of vast im
portance to ascertain in the census
the number of unemployed and the
duration of such lack of employment
and instructed the executive council
to urge congress to remedy the omis
sion.
SCHOOL ATTEND
ANCE WOULD OPEN
JOBS FOR ADULTS
Washington.—Extension of compul
ory school attendance laws through
out the United States to the ages of
14 and 15 years would automatically
release 260,000 children from work
and make available a large number
of jobs for adults, according to Miss
Grace Abbott, chief of the United
States Children's Bureau.
If the age limit were placed at 16
instead of 15, three times as many
children would be liberated from pre
mature employment, she said.

Summary and Digest of
Important Events of the
Week, Here snd Abroad
Foreign harbors are so filled with
idle ships that anchorages are scarce
and docking hazardous, according to
Captain John L. Beebe, master of the
United States liner President Hard
ing, which arrived at New York re
cently from Hamburg.
Communist demonstrations were
held February 9 in Washington, Bos
ton, New York, St Paul and Okla
homa City.
Three men were killed irr the ex
plosion jof gasoline fumes at a refin
ery in Butte, Mont., on February 9.
Deaths from automobile accidents
during the four-week period ending
January 24, 1931, as reported to the
census bureau by 81 large cities in
the United States, increased by ap
proximately 10 per cent over the cor
responding period of 1930, according
to a report -just issued by the bureau.
Industrial production and employ
ment in the third federal reserve dis
trict declined more extensively in De
cember than usual, and early January
saw little change for the better, ac
cording to the business review of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Philadel
phia.
The Buenos Aires, Argentine, press
carried recent noticcr that the presi
dent of the National Labor Board has
issued a resolution providing for
strict compliance with the labor laws,
particularly those referring to Sunday
rest and the legal span of working
hours per day.
WHAT NEXT?
A newspaper in Prague, Czecho
slovakia, reports that Hans Griltz,
Czechoslovakian academic painter, has
perfected a process for reproduction
of colored designs by purely thermic
means (heat process) to fabrics at an
extremely low price. The paper ex
pressed the opinion that the invention
would entirely revolutionize the
printed textile industry.
Third Peonage Charge
Is Filed at Shreveport
Shreveport, Lvte (ILNS) Ardis
Waller, Bossier Parish farmer, is un
der $2,000 bail on a charge of violat
ing the federal peonage act. This is
the third peonage complaint filed here
recently by federal authorities. Wal
ler is accused of holding four negro
tenants in a state of peonage, for
bidding them to leave his farm, which
is a few miles from Shreveport.
FEAR RATIONALIZA
TION
Manchester, England.—The lockout
of 200,000 weavers has extended.
Mill managements would establish a
speed-up system which they call "ra
tionalization."
"We are enti&ed to consider the
probable effect of the proposed
changes," trade union officials de
clare. Rationalization, it was stated,
would eliminate large numbers of in
dividual employers.
$15,000,000 RELIEF
VOTED BY ARKANSAS
Little Rock, Ark.—The house of
representatives passed a $15,000,000
bond bill for relief of drought suffer
ers. Proceeds of the bond issue will
be loaned to farmers for this year's
crop and to purchase food for their
families.
The vote followed spirited debate in
which charges were made that the
federal government wants to feed
mules and horses, but will make no
provision for starving farfhers.
URGE OLD AGE PENSIONS
Columbus, Ohio.—Tradfc unionists
of this state, the Ohio Council of
Churches and the Fraternal Order of
Eagles are supporting an old age pen
sion bill before the legislature.
Persons who are 65 years of age
are eligible unless possessing an in
come of $1 a day.

JOBLESS FIGURES
ARE NOT COMPLETE
New York.—The 1930 federal un
employment census was criticized at
the Religious Educational Association
conference in this city.
Dean Elinor Pencoast, of Goucher
College, Baltimore, "said the complete
census has not been published. Its
classification, she said, did not in
clude those only working part time
and its figures on the number of un
employed were contrasted with the en
tire population instead of with tho
number of persons gainfully em
ployed.
ALIEN RESTRICTION
OPPOSED IiY BUSINESS
Washington. Emergency legisla
tion curtailing immigration is oppos
ed by a special committee of the
United States Chamber of Commerce.
Reports from every section of the
country tell the same story of idle
ness and an excess of labor, but the
business meiT are not sure that an
"emergency" exists. They suggest
further study of the question.
AUSTRALIAN UNIONS
UNITE TO GUARD PAY
New York.—-Associated Press ca
bles from Australia state that the
Miners' Federation and the Aus
tralian Workers' Union agree to
amalgamate.
The latter organization has assets
valued at more than $2,000,000. As
sets of the Miners' Union, which has
just gone through an 18 months'
strike, include a daily newspaper. The
objective of the alliance is to prevent
lower wages and longer hours.

Waiters' Lockout
Cincinnati, O. (ILNS)—-The follow
ing letter, signed by Edward Flore,
general president, and Robert B.
Hesketh, general secretary-treasurer,
has been sent to all -local unions of
the Hotel and Restaurant Employes
and Beverage Dispensers' Interna
tional Alliance:
"To Officers and Membe& of Our
Local Unions:
"You are all familiar with the
Cleveland lockout. The six largest
hotels there are battling collectivo
bargaining, our members are on the
streets—locked out. Many thousands
of our members belong to the 'Eagles'
and 'Moose' fraternal organizations.
"The Eagles' national convention is
scheduled for Cleveland in July and
the Moose convention in August.
"Will you please take the matter
up with your local aerie and lodges
at once."
The workers involved in the Cleve
land lockout are standing firm and
are receiving fine support from other
local unions of their organization..
The international organization has,
spent $100,000 for food and housing
the Cleveland workers and will spend
another $100,000 if necessary to win
the fight for the principle of *collec
tive bargaining. .. ..
