The Lore followers in the Amalgamated have even gone to the extent of openly declaring themselves as opposed to amalgamation, in an | article published in the Volkzeitung. In this article another vicious attack is made on the left wing and Com- munists for the amalgamation cam- paign they are carrying on in the Amalgamated Food Workers’ Union and in the International union. Rank and File Worker. The large vote registered for the left wing candidate in the elections was surprising, progressives say. The candidate is an ordinary rank and file | worker and the campaign carried on was not intensive due to the prohibi- tion, of the use of the union organ, “The Free Voice,” by the Burkhart | machine. This was done to stop presentation of left wing views to the membership. FEW LAWS GUARD WOMEN WORKERS Report Reveals Low Wage Scales By LELAND CLDS, (Fed. Press) The backwardness of the United States in protecting its women ‘work- ers against capitalist exploitation is revealed in a report of the woman’s bureau of the U. S. depariment of labor on state laws affecting women workers. The report shows that only nine states have established a mini- mum wage for women, that only about a quarter of the states regulate home work and only 10 require a maximum 8 hour day for women. The only states which, have set al minimum wage for women are Cali- fornia, Colorado, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. The first seven in the list have es- tablished* boards or commissions while the last two have set the mini- mum by law. $12 Is Minimum Wage. The highest minimum is $16 a week for experienced women in all in- dustries in California. Inexperienced women have a minimum of $12 if over 18 years and of $10 if under 18 years of age in practically all California ‘occupations except manufacture, in which the minimum for inexperienced women is $9 a week. At the other ex- .treme Utah fixes the minimum for ‘experienced women at only $1.25 a ‘day or $7.50 for a full week’s work. The minimum for inexperienced “women in Utah is 90 cents a day for ‘adults~and 75 cents a day for minors. Juliet Poyntz Lecture.
