UNEMPLOYMENT DISASTROUS TO WELFARE
OF CHILDREN FEDERAL REPORT DECLARES
87 International Labor News eSrvice
Washington, D. C, Nov. 23. Un
employment, because it means lower
ed family standards, the loss of sav
ings and anxiety and deard, has a
direct and disastrous effect upon the
welfare of children.
This is the conclusion of a report
on child welfare during the industrial
depression of 1921-22, made by the
Federal Childrens Bureau.
In transmitting the report to Secre
tary of Labor Davis, Grace Abbott,
head of the Children's Bureau,' said:
"Large groups of children suffer
not temporary but permanent losses
as a result of a period of industrial
dpression. Those who are interestea
tn' raising the standard 01 our citizen
ship through better care of the chil
dren of the country can not regard
as outside the field of their concern,
proposals for preventing unemploy
ment and, failing ifi a program of pre
vention, measures which are neces
sary for safeguarding the . children
during a period of unemployment."
Two cities, Racine, Wis., and
Springfield, Mass., were chosen by the
bureau for intensive investigation as
to the effects of unemployment on
child welfare, these cities being rep-
resentative of different sections of
thev country with different industrial
backgrounds, both having a serious
making generous expenditures for re-!
lief work.
Th investigators found that un
employment, even though the fathers
maue some mui.y uy ci.ic.8c,.,
work and short-time jobs, cut the
family income so .much that
mothers were forced to go to workj
with the "result that their children
were neglected. In many cases, fam
ily savings were wiped out and it
was necessary to go into debt for
food, clothing,' rent, medical attend
ance and many other items. In other
cases, families went without medical
care and proper food as a result 'of
the failure of the father or mother to
get work..
Serious retrenchment in food was
reported by a large number of the
families interviewed. v Some typical
comments were:

"When the father lost his job a
year ago and mother said that the
only thing left to cut down on was
food, and this has been done to the
limit. The family used to take two
or three quarts of milk a day, but
now they get one quart of whole
.milk and one of skim milk. This has
to suffice for four children.'
"The mother has cut down ex
oenses as much as possible. She takes
one quart of milk a day instead of
two, though the children beg tor milk
on their oatmeal. She gets no meat
except the three pounds a week with
th commissary orders. They live
chiefly on bread, coffee, potatoes and
cereal.
Summing up the report states:
"Unemployment, then, because it
means lowered family standards,
anxiety and dread, the loss of savings,
and the mortgaging of the future, has
a direct and disastrous effect upon the
welfare of children. While commu
nities are usually able to organize
their resources so that children are
not removed from their own homes
because of poverty by an industrial
crisis, these resources have not been
sufficient to prevent very real suffer
ing in family groups stricken with the
misfortune of- loss of work by the

Canal Employes Lose
Washington, Nov. 24. The United
r . axapa
"'Ki emoyes who
would prevent Governor Morrow of
the canal zone from charging them
house rent ,and for fuel, water, elec
tricity and services in connection with
quarters. These charges were author
ized by an executive -order signed by
President Harding in December, 1921.
The supreme court held that the
order is valid. Attorneys for the
workers took the position that the
order set aside a portion of the law
creating the canal commission, which
built the canal, and that congress
alone has the power to change the
law in any respect. The house rent
for employes and other features of
the law were inserted because of cli
matic conditions in Panama.
There are about 3,000 American
employes on the canal zone and de
ductions from their r salaries and
wages for rent and other items are
estimated at $500,000 a year.

Comment and Criticism About
Things Doing in the World.
Col. Forbes says Doc. Sawyer has
been lying : Doc Sawyer said Col. For
bes was a bad actor ; Gen. O'Ryan says
Col. Forbes was a member of conspiring
gang; everybody says somebody else was
either a liar or crook, or both.
It has been a pleasant party this in
vestigation into the conduct of the Vet
erans Bureau.
Apparently there has been a good deal
of playing ducks and drakes with this
bureau charged with caring for the dis
abled veterans of the war. Nothing
could be more revolting than to debauch
such a bureau.
The truth about the whole thing be
longs to the people and let it come.
The National Founders' Association
has prepared an exhibit to show the "re
markable development of open shop an
proval among all' classes in America."
The first thought in this connection is
that there has been no such growing ap
proval, but that approval has diminished.
Fropogandists are trying: hard to -keep
tne so-cauea open snop anve, but it s a
hard job. The whole thing was a fraud
from the begming and even a payrooll
can t keep a fraud alive forever.
The tenacity of the propagandists
would be more admirable if it were dis
played in a better cause.
Trotsky recently wrote an article, oub-
lised in Russia, pointing to a '"United
States of Europe" establised on a soviet
or bolshevik basis, as a result of the
triomph of bolshevism in Enrone.
I The bolsheviks continue unabated their
efforts to undermine and destroy other
governments, particularly the more dem
ocratic governments.
Those'who think the bolshevik orooa
ganda is dead and that the bolsheviks
have abandoned their effort to foster re
volution in other countries are looking
wun unseeing eyes upon a lot of things
tnat are doing- throughout the world.
While bolshevism lives it must be
judged by what it does, and not by its
protessions 01 piety.
W m . -
JLaws laws in a never-ceasing stream
are coming trom our legislative hall
and yet there is general complaint of the
disregard of law in the United States
The more laws, the more lawlessness and
still our legislators go on passing more
laws in an apparen attempt to regulate
everything from the wagging of a dog's
iau to tne movements of- the stars in
their courses. Perhaps, as the National
industrial Council suereests :
"Those who view with alarm the pres
ent widespread disrespect and disregard
for law may find the real key to the sit
n, : tu : r
uauuii . in liic cvci-uuucasmg volume 01
new legislation which has completely
overwhelmed courts, lawyers and the
people of the country."
How low wages in one section hurt the
workers in other sections is well illustra
ted by the bituminous mining situation
in the state of Washington. There the
mining industry is -suffering from the
competition of coal mined by Oriental
iaoor in Vancouver island at a wage
scale of an average of at least $2 a day
under Washington wages. The coal min
ed by non-unionized Oriental workmen
is hauled 10 miles by water transporta
tion into Washington at the same freight
rate operators in ' the state pay for a
30-mile haul by rail into Seattle. As a
result, soft coal mining in Washingtor
is depressed and the miners suffer.
The only sure safeguard of the work
ers from ' low wages is organization in
every part of the world. To paraphrase
a famous slogan : "Workers of the
world, unite! Xou have a world of good
wages to gain and nothing to lose but
low pay."
- Friends of minimum wage legislation
will rejoice in the news from Wisconsin
that a sweeping investigation of the em
ployment of women and minors show?
that the o.ft-repeated statement that the
"minimum wage" becomes the maximum
wage" has proved to be a false econom-
I ic conclusion m as far as Wisconsin 1?
concerned. The investigation, which wac
made by the State Industrial' Commis
sion disclosed that 43.6 per cent, of the
establishments work employes less than
eight and one-half hours and that durine.
the past year the trend of wages has
been upward.
Forced Compensation '
-Favored By Governor
Astoria, Ore., Nov. 24. The state
constitution must be amended that a
compulsory compensation act may be
enforced in this state, declared Gov
ernor Walter Pierce in his address to
the convention of the State Federa
tion of Labor. He said such, an
amendment is necessary, as the Ore
gon compensation act is in grave
danger.
The speaker called for a more equal
distribution of the rewards of labor,
and declared that a-check must be
placed on the combinations which are
reaping enormous and unwarranted
profits at .the expense of the producer
and consumer. It was', stated- that
prices of the products of the farm
have been cut until there is no profit
to the producer, while the cost of
those products to the consumer has
not been reduced materially.

UNUSED COAL LANDS
ARE TAXON PUBLIC
Washington, Nov. 24.-yThe prac
tice of. many coal companies carrying
large reserves 01 coal lanas neia ior
future use adds to cost through taxa
tion and conceals profits, says the
United States coal commission in a
report on investments and profits in
anthracite' mining.
The commission shows that while
these coal lands will not be used for
generations and generations, their
value is added to the cost of coal that
the present generation must use.
"The largest of the railroad coal
companies the Philadelphia & Read
ing a high-cost operating company
is overburdened with - reserves
sufficient to last more than 200 years,"
says the report.
"On this total investment it has
shown an inadequate return, the loss
having been made up by the large
earnings of the affiliated railroad.
"Freed from the carrying charge of
this excess reserve, it could make an
adequate return." -
The coal commission- declared that
if the value in coal lands, both an
thracite and bituminous, "is to con
tinue indefinitely piling up carrying
charges to be added to current prices,
an intolerable burden will be laid on
the consumer."
The report recommends that the
public be permitted, through a proc
ess of taxation, to share ii. the good
fortune of the low-cost, high-profit
coal owner. It is stated that sweep
ing horizontal cuts can not be made
in present mine prices and margins
without serious injury to many high-
cost coal owners, whose output is
needed.
The commission points out that, in
vestments, producing costs and profits
vary so widely in this industry that
any average figures are misleading-
It is impossible, the report states, to
strike an average because of the dif
ferent conditions under which coal "is
mined, vand the wide curve between
the high-cost and the low-cost mines.
American Labor Depends On Itself ;
Workers' Statesmanship Is Praised
Chicago,- Nov. 24. Writing in the
Congregationalist, on the recent conven
tion of the A F. of L. at Portland, Dr.
Arthur E. Holt, secretary of the social
service department of the Congregation
al education society, discussess the ab
sence of the "intellectual" in the Ameri
can trade . union movement and their
large numbers in the British trade union
movement.
"It is safe to assume," said Dr. Holt,
that although American labor will pro
bably invite to its aid the man with spe
cial training in political economy and in
law, we will never have an intellectual
appendix to the American abor move
ment. Those who look, for this fail to
recognize that the British custom roots
in a class movement "where education
was supposed to belong to a special class.
This does not mean that American labor
will not make use of the best trained
men, but it will do this in another way.
It will employ research bureaus and
other experts, and this, on the whole,
seems the more self-respecting plan."
Dr. Holt calls attention to labor s
warning, of state invasion in the indus
trial life of the people. The. churchman
compares this to the political activity of
British trade unionsts, and hesays that
in this comparison 'American labor does
not appear unfavorably."
lhe trend in British labor has been
overwhelming in the direction of gov
ernment ownership and toward an alli
ance of economics and politics," said Dr.
Holt. American labor has set its face
against all this and has declared that in
dustry should be free from interferences
on the part of the state. It believes:
TRICKY COMMUNISTS
EXPOSED IN CANANDA
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, Nov.
24. Editor Roper of the Alberta La
bor News is waging an aggressive
campaign against communists who
would control the trade unions. The
trade union editor charged that the
revolutionists attempted to control
the recent meeting of the Canadian
Trades and Labor Congress. The ac
cused,, of course, assumed a virtuous
pose, and the editor of a communist
heet in Toronto was incautious
enough to apply the short and ugly
word to Koper. lhe labor editors re
ply was a letter written by the To
ronto communist to a comrade in Re-
gina, Saskatchewan, which shows
how the revolutionists secretly work
nside the unions. A portion of the
ctter is as follows:
"The Trades Congress meets Sep
tember 10, and it is important that as
many reds as possible be there.
There are matters of the greatest
mportance to be brought up mat
ters that Moore (president of the
congress) knows nothing of.
Now I feel that Regina will be in
the position, as in other years, that
s, unable to send delegates for finan
cial reasons, it the Kesrina local or
the U. B. of C. J. (carpenters) would
appoint or elect mc as delegate it
would not cost them anything.
It would not do to tell them what
my mission will be in Alberta. ut
ficient to tell them that I will be in
Alberta.
' "Of course, if they would or could
pay my fare and return from Edmon
ton or Calgary, all the better, as it
would give me better standing before
the credential committee were my
fare paid. But that need not stand in
the way at all.
"You will have to caucus with our
fellows and make full preparations be
fore the matter is brought up in the
local."
BLACKSMITHS UNITE.
Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 24. Officers
of the International Brotherhood of
Blacksmiths have organized a local of

more than 400 eligible members, and
a campaign has been launched to in
terest all of these workers.
Coal Owners
Stand Pat; Will Not
"Clean House"
Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 24. Gover
nor Pinchot announces that the pol
icy committee of anthracite coal
owners have refused to accept his
plans for "cleaning their own house
of abuse. The governor made his
statement after a final conference
with the group.
lhe governor said he . had con
ferred repeatedly with the coal own
ers and urged that the industry woes
it to the public and itself to clear it
self of "extortion and other evils, and
so regain the public confidence which
its course has forfeited.
The governor also stated that he
had been informed that 20 per cent of
the coal shipped from the mines cor
tains an unfair proportion of rock and
slate and that its sale to the public is
an imposition.
St. Louis Beats Back
Anti-Union Attack
. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 24. Panic
stricken anti-union employers in this
city view the stinging defeat organ
ized labor has administered to them
this year. Scores of unions have
raised wages and improved working
conditions, despite -last year's claim of
these employers that the anti-union
shop would be universal by the end
of 1923. -
One of the leaders of "this attack
was the St. Louis Lumber Trades Ex
change, consisting of lumber and
building material companies. This
crowd professed interest in the reduc
ing of building costs. Recently the
state supreme court ordered the ex
change dissolved Decause it was a
conspiracy to raise prices and stifle
competition. ines as high as $10,000
were assessed against 19 members of
the exchange.
At the trial it was proved that these
union smashers, and not the unions,
are responsible, for high prices.
"The threat of state invasion of indus
trial life is real. Powerful groups of
earnest and sincere . persons constantly
seek the extension of state suzerainty
over purely industrial fields. Such ig
norant encroachments as the Cummins
Esch act, the Kansas court of industrial
relations and the Colorado industrial
commission act, each a blundering ges
ture of goverment acting under the spur
of organized propaganda or of political
appetite for power, are examples of
what all industrp has to fear. The con
tinning clamor for extension of state
regulatory powers, under the guise of
reform and deliverance from evil, can
but lead into greater confusion and more
hopeless entanglements. Trade unionism
lead the way for true progress even at
the cost of being branded as reactionary
by those who do but little save profound
formulas based upon Utopian thought
and devoid of the benefit of experience
and of any cognizance o four fundamen
tal social structure, our industrial life, or
our national characteristics. We advo
cate organization of all wage earners
and of all-useful and productive ele
ments." - f
Dr. Holt declares that the report of
the executive council of the A. F. of L s
"an American program for an American
industry, and will be well worth while
for American employers to seek co-operation
with them.
-"I have read no pronouncement on
American industry," says Dr. Holt,
"which seems to me more statesmanlike
in its outlook than the report of the ex
ecutive council entitled, "Industry's Ma
nifest Duty."
"Model" Anti-Union
Mine Blows Up;
Many Killed
Charleston, W. Va., Nov. 24. The
mine at Glen Rogers, in which 27
miners were killed by a gas explosion,
is in the notorious Raleigh-Wyoming
held. It -is strictly anti-union and
was pointed to as "model" mine by
anti-union coal owners and their pub
licity agents.
State officials hurried to the scene
and were profuse in their usual claim
that, a thorough investigation ,will be
made of every mine in the state. This
is the regulation yarn in West Vir
ginia, where gun men and cossacks
are performing the duties of duly
elected officials, and where other offi
cials kowtow to the representatives
of absentee coal owners.
If the usual course is followed, the
investigation will consist of much
newspaper publicity and then a gradu
al easing off as the public forgets the
latest disaster. In no instance, how
ever, will the miners be permitted to
have a voice in their working condi
tions, nor will they be given a voice
in the selection of fearless mine in
spectors. Ohio Defeats Pension
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 24. At the
recent election Ohio voters rejected a
state constitutional amendment which
would legalize old age pensions. The
proposal was urged by the Ohio
State Federation of Labor and affili
ates. The new constitutional amendment
to the workmen's compensation act.
which was favored by the State Fed
eration of Labor and organized em
ployers, was approved by the voters.
Under this amendment the ambul
ance chasing attorney is put out of
business, as the act gives increased
awards to injured workers and the
dependents of those whoare killed,
but they will be prevented from se
curing additional damages through
the courts.

Picketing Is Upheld.
By Northwest Judge
Seattle, Nov. 24. The St. Germain
detcision in this state, a few years
ago, which outlawed air picketing, is
now set aside by Judge French of this
city, who refused to enjoin amuse
ment trades from picketing several
anti-union theaters.
The court indicated a belief that
judges have been going too far with
their writs, and while he maintains
the principle of the vicious labor
injunction, he lets it be known that
this weapon against strikers should be
used most sparingly, and then only
after hearings have been held, and at
which both sides are represented.
Judge French's ruling was declared
by -William Short, president of the
State Federation of Labor, to be the
firs telear-cut decision by a Washing
ton judge properly interpreting the
state law passed by the IQIO legisla
ture along the lines of the. Clayton
act.
"The legislature's act of IQIQ gives
us the right to do collectively what
we have a right to do as individuals
Judge French .sets this fact forth
very clearly," said President Short.
