Colored Workers to Help
In Big Organization Drive
Of American Labor Unions

By International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. CAS- result of
the decision of the executive council
and the representative of the ma
tional and international unions of
the American Federation of Labor to
launch great organizing campaign,
representatives of the colored work
ers appeared before the executive
council and offered their cooperation
and help.
T. Arnold Hill, director of the de-
partment of industrial relations of the
National Urban League, New York
city, presented the attitude of the
colored workers toward labor organi-
cations. The National Urban League
has branches in many cities. Mr.. Hill
said that colored workers were an
xious to organize as they believed
they should receive the same wages
as white workers. He read declara-
ton at the 18th annual conference of
Vic ANociOHal 1AoSOSidCloi 1Ol tilC <Au-
vancement of Colored People held in
Philadelphia, in which it was said
Intelligent negroes know full well
that blow at organized labor is a
blow at all labor. That black labor
today profits by the blood and sweat
of the labor leaders in the past who
have fought oppression and monopoly
by organization.
kilograms were received from vari-
Gus sections of the south, west and
east, stating that every assistance
would be given to the work of organ
ization of all the trades.
The executive board of the union
label trades department decided upon
the scenes to be depicted in the NOV
ing pictures to be used by the lectur-
ers who will visit all the important
towns and cities in the United States
and Canada
1t was announced that the l08 ma
tional and international unions would

are given to continue the work of or

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
Bright and Rosy in Eyes
of Financiers

BY international Labor News Service.
New York.-Big industrialists and
bankers continue to be encouraged
over the business outlook. Condi-
tions were bad last summer but by
the end of the year great relief was
manifest. With summer activity in
farming and building encouraging the
outlook still is fair, according to
financiers.
Checked from the labor standpoint
the indication is that there is a slight
recession in the peak of expansion.
Labor Bureau, Inc, reports more
wage increases during April than any
month since last July showing that
labor's position has been we'll main
tanned in the face of somewhat shaky
business conditions. Compared with
a year ago there has been an increase
in weekly earnings, throughout the
United States of l per cent. This
has been met by slight rise in liv-
ing cost. Real wages are virtually
unchanged.
Commerce with Europe continues to
gain as Europe makes it's painful re-
covery from the after-war collapse
Much of this is grain sent to ease
crop failures.
The federal reserve boards report
shows wheat exports rose 149 pei
cent, cotton 49 per cent, copper II per
cent, accounting for the commerce re-
vival. Basic industries are slowing
up, surveys show.
An interesting comment is that
sale of clothing continues dull, mainly
it is said, because consumers have
purchased 100000 automobiles
which they are paying for by skimp.

cash is being used to pay for 100000

of violence. This order was granted
by Judge A. G. Dayton to the same
coal company restraining the union,
its officers and members from organ
izing activities in the Panhandle coal
fields, where a general strike is on at
the present time This injunction was
later modified by the U. S. circuit
court of appeals to permit peace
full persuasion" These notifications,
attorneys for the union contended,
were contained in Judge Bakers
order of 1928, perpetuating the origi-
nal injunction. Counsel for the min
ers contended the officials were not
guilty Of contempt of court because
the charges were brought under the
1913 injunction and failed to take the
notifications into consideration.

tions of the city and the organizers
will supplement this work by calling
meetings of the unorganized not only
in various halls, but talks will be
given during the noon hours near the
great factories where organization of
the employees is much desired. A SIM
liar program will be followed in all
places visited.
The conference to decide upon me-
mortal in honor of Samuel Gompers
seemed inclined favorably toward the
erection of monument in some suit
able location in the city of Washing
ton. That seemed to be the consensus
of opinion. However, the committee
has the matter under advisement and
in due time will make a definite
decision.

Chicago. - A stupendous scandal
that is loaded with political dyna-
mite has developed in the general as
sembly of Illinois, and several mem
bers of the house of representatives
who have been fighting organized la
boris bills are caught in the mael-
strom of charges and countercharges
that are being hurled back and forth.
The sanitary district trustees, who
have charge of the affairs of the
Chicago drainage canal, through
which the city's sewage is emptied
into the Illinois river and thence into
the Mississippi river, asked the legis-
lature to increase its bonding power
from 3 to a per cent, which would
enable the trustees to raise an addi>
tional $18,000,000 to $20,000,000 a
year in taxes. The proposal went
over with bang and with very little
opposition.
Governor Small Vetoes Measure
Then Governor Len Small held a
hearing on the measure to ascertain
whether he should sign or veto it. The
facts thus developed proved to be of
such scandalous nature that the
governor vetoed the measure He
severely scored the sanitary district
trustees for their extravaganza in the
message accompanying the veto.
1t was shown at the hearing before
Governor Small that large number
of the members of the legislature
were on the payroll of the sanitary

Legislative Foes Of Labor Bill Draw
Fat Salaries on the Side,' Is Charge
Hope Felt For Injunction Bill

Notwithstanding the fact that the
Injunction limitation bill has been
voted down twice in the house dur
ing the present session, officers of the
Illinois State Federation of Labor are
hopeful of favorable action on the
new bill that has been introduced in
the senate. The outlook in the upper
chamber is very good.
The principal reason ascribed for
the failure of labor bills in the legis-
lature thus far is the superior organ
ization had by the opposition. The
Illinois Manufacturers Association,
the Illinois Chamber of Commerce
and the Associated Employers, it has
been learned, formed through organ
izations III every legislative district
in the state, and laid on" the men,
bers Of the legislature every hour of
their stay at their homes over week
ends
One member said that representa-
tives of one or the other of these
three organizations was at the mem
ber's nome every hour from early
morning until midnight each Friday,
Saturday and Sunday and part of
Monday to put forth arguments why
the injunction limitation bill should
be defeated.
On the other hand, this member of
the legislature had received but one
communication from a labor source.
Despite this disparity between the
amount of work done by the two op-
posing forces, this member stood 10y
ally by organized labor.
Member Wife of Union Man
The member who told of this ex-
perience was Mrs. Rena Elrod, serv-
ing her first term in the house. She
is the wife of an active and we'll
known member of the Chicago local
of the American Federation of Musi-
clans
Mrs. Ehod has become one of the
most popular members of the legis-
lature. She was given a great ovation
by the entire house and the galleries
when she was allowed to preside over
the house as Mrs. Speaker" for one
session She didn't stand for any
funny business, either, She knew ex-
actly what TO do as the presiding
officer and she did it.
Victory Depends on Active Work
1t is the opinion of those who are
in position to know the situation
that something may yet be done
toward obtaining the passage of an
Injunction limitation bill if the organ
ized labor forces of the state will
only become thoroughly aroused and
get on the job with a vengeance.
There has been great improve
ment in the amount of activity shown
by the unions in the last few weeks
but they will have to apply whole
lot more Juice" if they are to be sue.

Consideration

Elaborate plans to make Wash

begun by representatives 81 civic
organizations and prominent local
business men.
The initial meeting was held
at o'clock yesterday at the
headquarters Of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
1t was voted to request the
presidents of the Board Of Trade,
Washington Chamber of Commerce,
Merchants and Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, and the Hotel Mems As
ISOLATION, to appoint two repres"n-
tatives from each organization TO
form a committee to formulate a
plan of action with a view to
esta blishing convention bureau

Arthur Carr, secretary Of the
Board Of Trade, who sent out the
call for the meeting, presided, and
in his opening remarks pointed out
that it is not necessary to "sell'
Washington as other cities for con"
Vention purposes, because of the
many points of interest and beauty
spots possessed by the Capital City.
He declared the work requires the
bringing Of these advantages before
the people In the States.

MERGER
KILLED
HuddIeston Settles Fate When
He Objects to It's Unanimous
Consideration

The last opportunity for pas
sage Of the voluntary street rail
way merger bill for the District
passed today when Congressman
George Huddleston Of Alabama
objected to consideration Of the
bill when it was called up on the
unanimous consent calendar.
The bill, which was designed to
remove legal restrictions prevent
ing merger of the local street rail-
way companies, was regarded as
one Of the five major District
bills reported to Congress this
session.
Report Was Unanimous.
The measure was considered b.
a joint Senate and House subcom-
mittee and was ordered reported by
almost unanimous vote.
It was planned to enact this meas
ure permitting the street railway
companies to merge voluntarily, and
in case they failed to take this ac-.
ton to follow up the measure by
enactment Of legislation compelling
them to merge and reduce fares.

''Of course, there will be no halt
in the work." Mrs. Dougherty said
today, "but we have so many prob

The question Of the legality of
having both military and civilian
orcheStras at the ball, which has
been submitted for decision to the
American Federation of Musicians,
is not causing the ball committee
any great amount Of concern. No
objection to the playing Of military

fore. It is claimed an act OF Con-
