Hosiery Workers in Buffalo
Join Union in War Against
Low Pay and Unjust Fines

ators were charged for the time it
took to have machinist put them
back into operation,
Labor turnover was high and dis
charges were made at random.
AT the request of the Milfay work
ers | came into Buffalo two weeks
ago. Immediately almost all the
workers joined the union. The COM
pany, hearing of this attempt to force
the workers to sign yellow dog con-
tracts which purported to limit the
legal right of the employe to join a
trade union. But these people had
enough Americanism in them to re-
fuse. They were locked out. Then
the rest of the shop joined the union
and a strike was called.
Controlled by Outside Capital
ut is generally understood that the
Milfay concern is controlled by the
big Berkshire firm in Reading, Pa
the largest concern in the full-fash-
toned industry and the most powerful
foe of the union The officials of the
company in Buffalo tell me they are
not able to treat with us on matters
Of labor policy. We are anxious to
settle this difficulty if possible. But
with this type of absent ownership,
what can we do?"

Secretary Of Labor Fears
Injunction Use May Lead
To Disrespect For Courts

By international Labor News Service.
Washington, D. Gear that the
use of the injunction in labor disputes
may lead to disrespect for the courts
is voiced by Secretary of Labor James
j. Davis in his annual report for 1927.
Secretary Davis statement is believed
to be the first public criticism of the
injunction made by any member of
President Coolidge's cabinet.
''In all the years of our national
development one of the greatest vir-
tues of our people has been their faith
in and respect for the law and the
courts, through which there has been
developed an equitable and just sys-
tenn of jurisdiction which now merits
universal respect" Secretary Davis
said in referring to the injunction
issue. He continued:
"In the happy contact which | am
continually having with the great
body of the American working people
/ have observed recurrence of the
spirit of restlessness over what they
seem to think is the too frequent use
of the injunction in the controversies
which now and then enter into the
relations between employer and en-
ployes.
CI,uto,, ats NoIua I,,,p.:raI
1T was the belief of labor that the
enactment of the Clayton amendment
of 1914 to the Sherman antitrust law
would restrict the use of the injunc-
ton to a greater extent than the
courts now hold to be the legal effect
of such acts. Labor organizations are
of the opinion that the measure is not
being given the liberal and effectual
Interpretation by our courts which
congress intended, and that on that
account its value as a remedial meas
ure is at times being seriously i'm
paired
The courts have not been in gen
eral accord in constituting these i'm
portant and far-reaching provisions.
The district courts and the circuit
courts of appeal differ and the su-
preme court frequently differs with
those courts. In number of cases
there has even been striking diver
sity of opinion in that court, for ex-
ample, in the case of Duplex Printing
Press Co. VS.. Deering, in American
Steel Foundries VS.. Tri-City Trades
Council, and recently in the case of
Bedford Stone Co. ct al. VS.. Stone
Cutters Association ct al. In the
last case the federal district court for

Buffalo, NJ Y-"By opening up a
full fashioned mill in this city, about
sixteen years ago, at least 400 miles
from the nearest center of the indus
try-the Milfay Company thought it
would keep away from the American
Federation of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers an autonomous national
body affiliated with the United Tex
tile Workers which has jurisdiction
over full fashioned workers." says
Carl Holderman, representative of the
hosiery workers union.
Probably the Milfay Mill might
have kept the union out if the COM
pany had paid the prevailing rate of
wages in this industry and treated its
workers properly" Holderman con-
tinued. But the wages in the Milfay
plant were even lower than some Of
the full-fashioned mills in the South.
And the southern mills pay consider
ably less than half the wages paid in
the northern full-fashoned plants
most of which are thoroughly organ
lied.
Working Week Is Long
Top wages in the Milfay Mill run
about $40 per week. The length Of
this work week however is from 70
to "a hours. Men operating machines
requiring women helpers work 55
hours week in this plant.
"The average minimum wage in a
union shop for 48-hour work week
is about $50. Top wages in union
shop will be as high as 500 per week
of 48 hours. Unionized full-fashioned
hosiery workers are probably the most
fortunate group Of workers in modern
quantity production industry.
But what broke the camel's back
in the Milfay shop was the fragrant
and vicious fines system in force
there Workers were often fined as
much as half their wages. They were
fined at the whim of the superintend-
ent or by foremen and clerks. Deduc-
tions We're made from the pay envel-

On appeal this decree was affirmed
by the circuit court of appeals, but
when the case went to the supreme

In connection with this last, DIR.
Fronske said that Dr. Wayland Nor

people by which they would provide

amount.
