Local Union.
Waiting for the authorization of a
strike against all of the Manville-
Jenckes mills. the Social Mill work
ers, led by Organizer Horace A. Ri
Were, are determined to fight this
latest attempt of New England tex
tile barons to boost hours and lower
wages. They took a strike vote about
two months ago, but refrained from
going out at the request Of the United
Textile Workers Emergency Board.
Organized Social Mill operatives az
their meeting last night endorsed the
spontaneous strike action of the work
ers. Long lines Of pickets filed in
front Of the mills today.
Workers Want TO Know.
Three workers were appointed at
meeting held at union headquarters

POLITICIAN DEFENDS 4S-HOUR LAW
DESERTED BY N, Y. LABOR OFFICIALS

The only voice, outside Of that Of
the Workers (Communist) Party, yet
lifted for the bona fide 4S hour week
for New York working women is
Frederick l.. Hackenburg's He is a
New York politician, representing the
18th Assembly District in the lower
house of the legislature, and is a
member of the industrial survey COM
mission which recommended an eva
sive bill providing in reality linn
tied nine hour day.
81 personally stand upon a straight
4S-hour week for women in industry.
declared Hackenburg in a minority
report, the text Of which was made
public in New York City today.
Hackenburg's position is far in adj
vance of Emanuel CovaleslSie, who
represented the New York Federation
of Labor on the industry survey board.
Covaleskie, federation vice presi-
dent, recommended adoption of the
vicious nine-hour day provision.
at is a part of my political philoso-
ply" declared Hackenburg. that
nothing in the world is settled I'M
less it is settled right. While l well
come the concessions recommended by
the commission, l personally stand
upon a straight 4S-hour week for
women in industry. No compromise
is possible when a principle is at
stake"
The New York Federation Of Labor
has officially recommended, through
its executive council, the industrial
survey commissions report on the
"48-hour" bill.
The council declares to "be favora-
bic to the interests of the wage
earners," the report providing for a
nine-hour day five days a week when
a Saturday half day is worked. In
addition 70 hours a year are allowed
to be worked when the boss chooses.
Labor legislation experts declare
that a straight eight hour law can be
enforced only with difficulty, but that
a 40 1-2 hour" bill, with rs hours a
year thrown in for good measure,
makes it practically impossible to
catch employers when they violate the
law.
The industrial survey commission
recommends that minors over 16 years
of age be included.
Hackenburg, in his minority report,
riddles the employers argument that
a 4S-hour law and protective legisla-
ton for workers would drive industry
from the state. He writes:
II assert in passing that there is
very little 20 the argument that in
dustry will leave the state and go to
places where there are no restric-
tons upon the labor Of women. If
we keep our standards down we en-
courage backward southern states to
do likewise and morally are taking
our share Of responsibility for the low
social conditions in the cotton mills
below the Mason and Dixon line.
"The testimony before the commits
sion and general information on the
subject seems to show that even the
backward states are slowly but sure
ly coming TO the economic standards
established both by law and custom
in the progressive empire state.
With establishment Of industry In the
south, and the incidental prosperity
and sources Of employment, the south
en workers are becoming imbued
with the spirit Of dignity Of labor
and insist upon treatment due to all
American workers

away in the Chicago primary contest
William Hale Thompson's victory
was announced even before the dead
and founded were collected from the
theatre of war. There never was
such day even in Chicago.
Sporting establishments did land
office business in guns and the most
popular slogan throughout the city
was: wherever you see a head, hit
it." Victory was on the side of the
heaviest battalions and with those
generals whose armies were able to
march on their stomachS. Thompson
ran on an America first" platform
with the understanding that if sue
cessful Chicago would not thirst for
the next four years.
Thompson is the unofficial cham
pion of the wide open town." An
other section of the republican party
organization favored the opposite
kind Of a condition. During the pri-
mary campaign neither wing had a
word to say about labor. They did
not have to. Only the Workers (Com-
munist) Party injected the workers
side of things into the campaign.
This is a deplorable state of affairs.
The workers of Chicago should have
had their own candidate in the field
on United Labor program. They
must get busy with this task.
THE right wing trade union lead
l. ers and socialists in the Austral-
ian Labor Party have stepped in line
with our own bureaucratic red-baiters
in the war against Communism. They

tators do? They object to the local
unions having the right to nominate
candidates for office on the A. L. p.
ticket. The section Of the trade union
and political labor movement that is
influenced by the radicals revised the
rules so that the unions would be in
position to nominate their candi-
dates directly rather than have this
job done by the machine.
