Iron miners in the southern ore mines of the steel trust slave 60 hours a week underground while those in the mines of Minnesota and Michigan average less than 48 hours. But do the 60-hour men of the south earn correspondingly higher wages? They do not/:for their hourly rate is so low thatythey make less in 60 hours than their northern brothers make ina a yey over 47, In the northern ore region the steel “magnates haVe over 1,000,000,000 tons of ore in réserve. But in the south their reserves total over 10,000,000,- 000 tons. Gary Radlates Optimism. It is this situation in the south that makes chairman Gary radiate optim- ism when visiting the steel corpora- tion plants near’ Birmingham, Ala. He sees inexhaustible stores of ore sur- rounded by \/large ‘reserves of the cheapest labor :in the country, labor accustomed to ‘sweat long hours for a bare subsistence. It makes him so happy that he chooses the corpora- tion’s Birmingham sanitarium as an ideal place to recoup his tired nerves. The contrast between iron mines north and south of the Mason and Dixon line is brought out in a study of wages and hours in metal mines by the U. S. bureau of labor statistics. From this are taken the following fig- ures showing hourly and weekly earn- ings in the two regions: Per hour Per week Occupation North Ala. North Ala.

HOWITT (Worker Correspondent) TOLEDO, Ohio, June 13—(By Mail) —Canton Ave. which has been known as the bad lands in Toledo for many years, and which has been a notor- ious spot for holdups and murders, is experiencing a great change in appear- ance, About a dozen old shacks and tene- ments are being torn down. The rea- son for this change is not because of the fact that these delapidated struc- tures are a menace to the life and health of the slum proletariat who have been inhabiting them but; it is because that real estate values have increased. As long as these smug church mem- bers and. hypocrites who prate so much about.our pure womanhood and who. are. the advocates of bible read- ing in the schools, could rent these mouldy, disease breeding, vermin in- fested,. fire traps to unfortunate women who have to sell their bodies for bread; they were perfectly willing to do this. The Christly Plunderer, The heaviest holder of real estate in this neighborhood is a very pa(y)tri- otic church member by name Sam Davis, who has become wealthy by exploiting slaves in the coal, and trucking business, This man attempted to send his aged father to the poorhouse several years ago, but was prevented from doing this however, by indignant neighbors who learned of his inten- tions. The city has grown up around these slums and the real estate values have increased to such an extent that the Parasites who hold this land can cash is now and can make as much as they would by renting to unfortunate wo- men and bootleggers. This {s the reason that the fallen ‘women who ply their trade on the street with the familiar salutation of “hello, deat,” will have to seek a place elsewhére in some other location, where ‘the landlord is looking for double or triple the rent that he gets now for some old shack, The City Prison. The.most beautiful building that is being built in this neighborhood, and which covers half a city block is the city prison, This building is being built on the site of what was formerly known as the slave market, or in polite English the state employment office, The wage slaves who came here for years to sell their labor power still come to this rendezvous; I suppose from foree of habit. It is more than possible that many of these workers will be compelled to visit this beautiful building in the near future. This is’ just a guess, and a conting- ency which we hope will not happen, but economic conditions get worse and the crowd on the street here in- creases from day to day. It looks as if this would be the outcome, Dairy Products Reported Low, WASHINGTON, D.C., June 16— Production of milk, butter and cheese in the North Ceytral States will be somewhat reduced this year because of poor conditions of pastures, accord- ing to reports received by the United States department of agriculture, Your Union Meeting Third Wednesday, June 17, 1928.
