Mat thew 18: 4. " , .; LQW WAGES, .RACKETS MENACE LABOR American labor today presents one of tlje, oddest jumbles .the American people eveivhad to tackle. At each end there exists an evil so serious that the wh'oTe labor f ield ijl eventually' be demoralized if a corrective is not soon applied. -And in tfie middle there ,is a vast burden of unemployment which has .jarred society almost frTJta foundations. ' .S"angely enquh, this burden of unemployment ?,js in some ways the Jeast menacing' of , the, thrqe. evils. Everybody recognizes it as an evil, and the strongest forces of govern Mvfrte industry and organized labor are uniting to meet it. Sooner or later jt will be lifted. ; Jt fa.th disturbances at the'end of the Jine that are really , .ominous. . ... '.''' At one end there is the sweatshop evil a thincr -which ! has its loots in human greed, wjrjtch, .helps to demoralize labor .and industry .alike and lwchj8:paiov'foj by (those least able to pay; women,' children and the aged. . '' ?f '; M he. oW18 el,d is an evil equally disturbing; the j-acke- teer. He has been most active in New York and Chicago, om many, etner cities have felt his heavy hand. In same in stances he has taken over whole union .organizations? ..in others he has chiseled his way in from the outside; but wnerever ne operates he has sold out the workingman, taken tribute fron industry and helped to raise problems that viil take years to settle. Pennsylvania, so far, has figured most prominently"inth"e stories of swea.tshops.' t is in Pennsylvania that .children nave gone on strike against wages of $1 to $5 for a 60-hour week.' BUt there are plenty of other states that 'contain conditions about as bad as anything to be found in Pennsyl vania. . ' , . . . .,,, Two potent remedies for the sweatshop evil lie at hand; the. minimum wage law and the child labor amendment. Get these two adopted and have them enforced energetically and pne of labor's and the nation's greatest handicaps .would vanish. " " ' ' ' ' i y Against the racketeer the procedure is not so clear. Federal officials in Chicago are trying to quorate via the income tax evasion law; aud Attorney General Cununings is investigat ing to find out if the federal government hught not pass now laws to make possible a determined federal drive against racketeers on all onls. It is to be hoped that definite action will come out of this. American labor is under three curse's.
