EL PASO’S EARLY HISTORY
PRESENTED TO CITY
KI, l’ASO. Tex.. Jan. 21 (by Asso
ciated Press). Police and detectives
have started a crusade here against
swindlers who impose on Mexican
laborers returning home after work
ing on railroads and in mines in the
United States The worst offenders,
the police say, are the pawnbrokers
who operate in the Mexican quarter.
They swindle the Ignorant Mexi
can laborers of most of the money
earned during a summer of hard work
in the United Slates. This is done by
means of ficticious pawn tickets, al
leged bargains in unclaimed pawns
and the sale of cheap, brass watches
for gold ones.
The Mexican consulate here has
complained repoatedly because of
these systematic swindling schemes
conducted by local pawnbrokers op
erating In conjunction with Mexican
runners who bring the victims to the
pawn shops.

BAD WORKING CONDITIONS
| DETRIMENT TO BUSINESS
r<;nr working conditions often have
a direct relation to absenteeism on
the p«rt of workers, according to a
j bulletin iooed by the information
education service, department of
labor.
If poor working conditions are re*
! sponsible for low attendance of em
ployes. cooperation of workers and
plant owners in a friendly spirit can
do much for the improvement of the
situation, the bulletin asserts.
•'I'ltor working conditions may be
c lassed a insanitary surroundings,
■ bad ventilation, lack of facility's- for
deanlines poor lighting, and cold
and unimiting workroom,” it reads.
ulr. good light, and comfortable
workrooms are absolutely necessary
to do flrst-< lass work.
“When these are lacking It is rea
sonable to assume that, if there is not
actual absenteeism, the bad condi
tions of employment will be reflected
in leaser quantity and poorer quality
of the output."
