gration were restricted the percentage of the unemployed would be greatly decreased. Organized labor should use its influence to have Immigration restricted. Only those . that are willing to live up to the American standard should be admitted." The other - speakers were: John Hart, national organizer for the barber's union; James Shanessy, general organizer for the barbers; Max SalinBky, national organizers for the tailores; .Lucius .Harrison, editor -of the Richmond Labor Herald. Robert B. Graham, general chairman of the

Labor Forward Movement, acted as

chairman. , Sallnsky Blames Workers.

Max Sallnsky made objection to

Bavis' statement that immigration was an evil. He declared that low wages

vere not due to immigration but to the working men themselves who did not organize and demand better -wages. The proper way would be for every American to belong to the union and then take the foreigner Into the union when he comes to this country and teach him the customs. Meetings of the Central Labor councill will be held every night this week. Other speakers, and organizers are coming. The organizers will be in the city Investigating conditions and creating new locals. A good program

is being arranged for the meeting at

for the laboring men. He said that several nights he had stood across the street from non-union shows and noticed that many-of the people that entered were union men. "Union men should only patronize union made goods and places where union help is employed," he said. .

Never since the establishment of the national and International labor organizations has an ; official been charged with misappropriating funds entrusted to him. This was the decla--ration of J. Shanessy of the Barbers Union. This is because the entire organization is sincere and honest in its work. Although the labor unions have for some time kept paid lobbyists in Washington, federal investigation has never revealed anything crooked. Men without unions are like ships without rudders, entirely helpless, be said. The labor unions are the greatest social reformers that have ever been known. In starting the labor forward move

ment be urged the union men to start a revival among themselves, and clean

up everything,. and then go after new members.1" "" In speaking of - the Colorado coal strike, he said that the investigation of the industrial relations committee found nothing that could be charged against organized men. He attacked child labor vigorously and said that a child that worked under most industrial conditions was stunted in growth and intellect. The labor unions are the principal fighters of child labor. ' , "Buy only goods that bear the union label," be advised. .

Dutch Ready to Repel Invasion

SHOWS WORKERS NEED FOR UNION

IN SMALL CITY

Max Sallnsky of the Tailors' Union, said that It was harder to organize the workmen of a town the size of Richmond than in larger cities, at the mass meeting yesterday afternoon. In explanation he said that the working men smaller cities purchased homes on the Installment plan, and usually bare large families. Then" they are afraid tor organize because of fear of losing their jobs, which, of course, means that their home must go. In reply to this he-said that if a man was giving good service he need have no fear of losing his job. If he organizes he will have more money to pay for bis home and then will have more time to spend in It. " Organization will not lower the cost of living, he said, but will give laboring men more money to be able to pay the higher prices.

The situation in Holland, where irritation against both England and Germany has become most pronounced, is becoming more critical each hour. The Dutch army, which has been mobilized since the beginning of the war tci preserve Holland's neutrality, is now being subjetced to arduous manoeuvers, as if to repel forces landing from the North Sea near Flushing and from the German and Belgian frontiers. On account of the British blockade Holland is experiencing shortage of food to such an extent that the American Commission for Relief of Belgium has been asked to loan some of its food supply to certain districts.

FORWARD MOVEMENT SUCCEEDS IN DAYTON

. Labor Forward Movements have been successful wherever tried, said P. L. McKlttrick yesterday afternoon at the Central Lobor Council mass meeting. In Dayton during the campaign five new locals' were added. As soon as the Electricians' Union was

organized there was a general raise of

wages of about 5 per cent, without a demand being made.

AVERAGE WAGE LOW

; "The average wage has not changed in Richmond for the last fifteen years,',' said Lucius Harrison at the laboring

men's mass meeting yesterday after

noon. He said that the laboring men are' not getting all they deserved, and that it was mostly their own fault. About S5 per cent of the voters here are laboring men. -... .

ORGANIZATION ADDS FORCE TO DEMANDS, DECLARES JOHN HART

During the labor forward movement in Dayton sixty-five shops were organized for the Barbers' Union, and the membership of the old union was tripled, said John Hart, national organizer for the barbers, at the laboring men's mass meeting yesterday afternoon. This also stimulated every union in Dayton. "There is no time better for men to organize than at present," he said. "Contractors are guarding their men to keep them from being stolen by competitors. Laboring men are getting poor pay because of lack of organization. They can not demand anything individually, but as a body they can demand recognition. Through organization laboring men can get better hours, better pay, money to send their

offspring through schools and then have plenty of time to stay at home and enjoy life "
