State Federation of Labor Enters 1930 Campaign With Active Legislative Program Tha following circular, out lining tha legislative program and policing of the Oregon Slate Perforation of Labor, baa boon aant out by Wm. Cooper, praaldenl and Hen T. Oehorne, executive secretary, lo all legislative can didate In the atata. The Legislative Program In cludea the following: Support of a free test book law. Support of a hill establishing a state system of old age pen sions. natiriclallon of lha federal child labor ami'tnlcinent. Kostrlctlona of labor Injunc tions. A law which will give lha stale labor commissioner more powor In the collection of wages. Support of a bill Increasing Die salary ot lha atala labor commissioner. Increased compensation for In dustrial workers Injured by ac cident and the Inclusion of oc cupational diseases aa lnjurlee subject to compensation. Support of a bill to outlaw "yellow dog" contract. Support of the personal In como tai bill which waa adopted by the legislature but which haa been referred lo a vol of tba people at the general election In November. Support of the propoaed con stitutional amendment lncreaa Ing tba pay of member of lb tats legislature. Support ot a federal law plac ing Meilro tinder Ibe same quota provlslona as now apply to European natlnna. Urge restrictions against Im migration from lha Philippine Islands. Study Text JSm.k Proposed An Interim commute of lha state legislature la atudylng a proposal that lha atata publish tha teit booka used In the public schools. It uppoara that many people ara confusing thla pro posal with free lest booka. Tha two qnestlona are aeparal and distinct. Tha slat may print the test booka and yet may not be furnished tree to Ibe pupils. On lha other band, text booka msy be furnished fro and not printed by th stale. There la danger that thla confualon may ba capitalised by tha opponenta ot both measures with the result that neither will be enacted. Membara ot organised labor should Inform themsalvea on both measures. We believe that nothing should deflect our ef forta to obtain tree text booka. that being ot paramount Import ance. Nutneroue status have enacted free text book lawa. Soma ot them ara mandatory and others are merely permissive. In some of th slatea where mandatory lawa exist, th books are pro vided by th aute and In other case each supplies the booka for uaa ot the children In the dis trict. Ot course. In tha autea having permlsatve lawa the books are furnished by conntlea or by school districts, aa the voter In such subdivisions determine. The Oregon Stat Federation of Labor la not committed to any partclular type of bill. We bo iler tba mandatory law la tha batter, but our effort must be Joined with the effort of other progressiva groups to obtain tha enactment ot such a bill, and tha Federation will support such bill aa meets tho approval ot Ihe different groupa. If a permissive bill aeemed lo give promise of adoption and a mandatory bill aeemed likely to to meet defeat, then It would seem that we should support a permissive bill. It I almost beyond compre hension that publlo sentiment ha not become so strong aa to force tba adoption of a free text book law. Booka are aa much a part ot the equipment of the schools aa the buildings and other ap pliances. W boaat of our edu cational advantages and that there la equal opportunity for th poor and the rich, but auch la not true nntll we provide all the equipment for all the chil dren In the primary and the secondary schools. Tho many advantage and ultimate econ omics to be obtained through free text book are ao numerous aa to prevent a full list of them being given here. Opponents have an array ot arguments against free text book and anme of those arguments sound plausible until they are sub jected to analysis, when they fnll to pieces. Perhaps Ihe most absurd argnmenta used by the opponenta ot free tout booka la that tree clothoa and tree food might aa well be advocated aa fre booka. If there should ba anyone ao atupld aa to be Im pressed with thla argument, ha should remember that the books are used exclusively In school work, that the hooks cannot be come Ihe exclusive property. of any Individual student and Hint th bonks are not consumed ns la tho rose with food and cloth ing. Old Alio Pension Th Tillamook convention authorised the drafting of an old ug pension bill for presentation to th next legislative assembly and declared It to ho labor's purpose to place the bill on the ballot by Initiative potttlon It the legislature should fall to en act It. The convontion authoris ed the appointment of a com mitt to draft auch 4 bill which I to b suSmltted to tha next Federation oonvantlon for ap proval. Varloua nations have and are experimenting with thla subject and ther 1 a wide difference In lh aim ot auch lawa. Tba law which th Federation contoin platea I on for relief, a law that will enable th aged to avoid aucb Institutions aa "couu ty farm" and "poor bouse.' W do not propose a law I tut would establish a retirement fund, from which all peraona at taining a given age would be paid a atatad sum, without re gard for their need of susten ance. The rapid trend ot th employment policy which bars or makes difficult th securing of employment by worker bs youd mlddl age. If It continue, may make necessary the exten sion ot relief to Include many peraona for whom auch relief la now neither necessary nor desirable, but that la matter that only Urn can determine. Th law w now have In mind provide a form ot relief more humanitarian than that now In vogue. The term "old age pension I odious to many people, not alone those who may be It beneflel arlea but to the general public, and It 1 probable that th nee of the term ha a psychological tract tbt la harmful to tha cause. Advocate are now gen erally using the terra "old age security," or aometlmaa. "old age Insurance." either ot which la batter than the nse of the term "pension." . Want Oilld Protection Tba Federation muat continue II effort to eecura Oregon'a ratification ot the federal child labor amendment. Enemies of thla amendment persist In mis repreientlng Ita provisions. The amendment merely glvea Con greaa tba right to enact legisla tion protecting children ot cer tain years. ,No law could b adopted preventing farmer from requiring their children to assist with farm work. Only children ot vary tender year would be prevented from working In cer tain preferred occupation. Prac tically every northern atata now haa protective lawa that ar as restrictive as any federal law that would be adopted. The amend ment would enable Cong rasa to enact lawa that would end the disgraceful employment ot Utile children in aouthern factorle. particularly the textile mills. Such lawa would be beneficial to northern manufacturers who now are compelled lo compete with thla aouthern child labor alluatlon. It would seem that Oregon manufacturing Intereata would be drawn to aupport rati fication from material Intereata. It not on humanitarian grounds. Itretrict Injunction I'se The Amorlcan Federation of Labor will sponsor a bill to re strict the use ot the Injunction In labor dispute. Thla will ap ply, however, only to Injunction Issuing out of the federal court. It I our duty to secure th en actment of a (tale law that will restrict Issuance of Injunctions by th atate conrta. There is atlll another field for activity against Injunction, a mean by which Immediate, though temporary, re lief may be obtained. We ahould aupport for Judge those can didate who ar opposed to th use of the equity dovlco, ex cepting when there la apparent danger of irreparable damage to tangible properly.

The bill will not work Injury lo tha honest employer but It will be a weupoo against the unscrupul ous employer who habitually re sort to dishonest practice to avoid the payment ot wages. Ask Salary Inrreaee The aalary ot the state labor eotnmlshluner, 13000 par year, I anolbar nutwy that ahould have attention. A th bead ot tat department, tha dutle of which ar Increasing yearly, the commissioner ahould b paid an amount mora nearly eommen- surat with the value of hi serv. Ice. Th functioning of th department af(eota the welfare of a greater number ot peraona than do some of the other depart ment of stat government whoae haada ar paid a much higher aalary. Tha other department heada are not overpaid but tba labor commissioner la underpaid Further, larger appropriations should be made to provide tor efficient conduct of the many acilvltlo under tba direction of th labor commissioner. The rate of compensation fix ed for Injursd worker ar en tirely inadequate. They were fixed whan the buying power of the dollar waa much more than It la today, and even then they were too low. It la our aim to support an amendment to the compenaatlon act that will mater ially Increase the beneflta. Occupational diseases, con tracted through employment, ahould also be Included In the Injuria for which benefit ar collected. A study of th compensation act I now being made, and amendment will be presented to the next legislative assembly. Labor will support all proposals to atrengtben th law and make It of greater value to the work ers, but th two features above mentioned are one on which w should concentrate our efforts at present. After 'Yellow-Dog" Contract The Tillamook convention gave definite instructions to the of- tlclsl of tha Federation to nse their effort to eecure the en actment ot a bill which will out law "yellow dog" contracts. Thla contract, by which employer bind workers to non-union jobs. rob th worker of Inherent and fundamental right. No worker who Understands th nature of this contract will sign It unleaa urged by th direst necessity. It I our duty to expend every energy to have a law enacted which will render such contract void. In signing a "yellow dog" contract the worker surrenders hi right as a citizen, when he agreea to not become a member of a labor union. It works great Injury not only on the Individual signing It but on all bis fellows. for auch contract have been made the grounds for Issuing In junctions which effectually pre vented unions from making any attempt to organise the worker In certain lnduatrlea. Ita very nature make It repugnant to every aense of decency and free cltlsensblp. Favor Income Tax The Income tax bill which was referred to the people after hav ing been adopted by the legls Isture. embodies the principle of basing the tax on ability to pay. It is the best bill that haa been considered since the former state Income tax law waa repealed. The Federation will wage a vlgoroua campaign for Ita adop tion and every branch ot labor should give auport to lnaur the success of th bill at the election, In Novembor. The niggardly pay ot member of th stst legislature I a dis grace to th atate and an In justice to the men and women who serve In the rapacity of leg islators. T h constitutional amendment proposing a aalary of 1500 for the two-year term should receive the aupport ot labor. Restrict Immigration tn the matter ot Immigration.
