BRICKLAYERS'
Union Won't Admit Church
ill

London Il. l.. n. S.)-The Herald,
labor organ, announces that the ex-
ecutive committee of the Bricklay-
ers' Union has decided that Winston
Churchill, chancellor Of the exche-
quer, is not eligible to membership in
the organization.
Churchill was admitted to member
ship in October. The committee de-
cided that he was technically not a
member because his admission apph-
cation was not in order and because
he did not intend to earn his living
as bricklayer or to play any part in
the affairs of the union.
Churchill issued an emphatic pro-
test against being expelled from the
union after having been invited and
inducted into the union by one of its
high officials"
The chancellor, who holds ticket
signed by the general secretary, de-
clares he is mot at all disposed to
accept expulsion"

STRONCBOXES
No Longer Adequate For
Holding Corporation
Profits

New York.-Profts of industrial
corporations are so large that these
concerns are investing their surplus
in real estate.
1t is estimated that the steel trust
has more than $4,000, 100000 in prop
erty, Standard Oil upward of 81 ,0OO,-
100000, while General Motors and
Ford have extensive holdings.
The strong boxes of these concerns
are bulging with cash, and large
amounts are loaned to Wall street
on solid security for speculative pur-
poses. This money is referred to as
bootleg" loans, because it is beyond
the control of government or bankers
and can be withdrawn at will. In
such an event, conservative financiers
piont out that they can not supply
funds and crash in the stock mar
ket would be a possibility.
The situation is of interest to work
ers because it is an indication of
profits held by the comparative few,
and which shoul be diffused through
out the country in the form of higher
wages.

Hoover and Governors Back
Labor's Employment Remedy
UNIVERSAL" DRAFT
Favored By Legion Opposed
By A. F. of l..

Washington.-The American Le-
gion will urge congress to approve its
so-called universal" draft for war
times. This proposed legislation
known as the Johnson Capper bill has
been before congress since 1922. The
president would be authorized, in the
event of war, or when he believes war
is imminent, to determine the mate
rial resources, industrial organiza-
tions and services over which gov
ernment control is necessary and "to
take such steps as may be necessary
to stabilize prices of services and of
all commodities.
The president would also be author
lied to conscrcipt all persons within
the ages of y and 80, as such other
limits as he may fix.
The bill is opposed by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor. Advocates
of the measure refer to it as a draft
of capital and labor" and they would
create the impression that the plan
will destroy all profit in war.
Control of the workers under this
bill is not denied. The president
could draft them into the army OF
into any industrial occupation, anC
set their wages. The would be un-
der the same discipline as uniformed
soldiers.
The drafting of capital" however
would merely consist of regulating
their profits, such as is now done
with the railroads. Profits would be
confined to "a fair return" after
interest, depreciation, replacement
sinking fund and other charges are
| met.
The bill is in no sense "conscrip-
tion of capital and labor" The prop
er term would be conscription of la
Dor and an extension of the regula-
tion of the profits of capital.

Ship Owners Policy Bound
10 Bring Disasters at Sea,
Seamen's Union Head Holds

Furuseth looks for more disasters,
because the policy responsible for the
loss of the Vestris is at work else
where and it must, sooner or later,
be followed by like results.
Skill Still Vital
''The sea has not changed" he said.
land it is not going to change, no
matter what the belief of landsmen
may be- Skill of officers and men is
as important as ever. The laws are
such that an American owner loses
nothing from such a loss. But the
English law, on the contrary, provides
for liability of Is pounds sterling
per registered ton, out of which dam
ages are paid. Of course those dam
aged, either personally or through
loss of relatives, in the Vestris dis
aster, will have sense enough to bring
suit in England"
So, it is another story of greed and
incompetence, as this veteran sea-
mems leader sees it. And the crew,
picked by men who look first to the
company's ledgers, was, of course,
non-union crew.

URGE CAUTION In
LABOR BANKS

Washington admonition for
conservatism in connection with labor
banks is contained in the annual re-
port of the executive council of the
American Federatino of Labor.
For several years we have called
attention to labor banking as a de-
velopment Of the labor movement to
be most carefully watched and safe
guarded, warns the council.
"A bank is one of the most sensi-
tive of economic agencies. Unions
engaging in banking enterprises
should assure themselves by every
precaution possible of the competency
and dependability of their technical
advisors. They should avail them
selves of all the supervision and coun-
sci obtainable and the federal reserve
system. Such precautions meet with
corresponding reward in public con-
tidence and the safety Of the bank
itself.
"A number Of labor banks are de-
veloping sound and wise policies and
are a credit to our labor movement.
Labor banking, however, is as yet in
the experimental stage and should be
accordingly safeguarded, and we urge
creates caution upon all those CON
nected with them Our action is
based upon our realization Of the
close connection between these banks
and the labor movement"

Resentment Burns Red Hot
In A. F. of L. Convention at
Slanderous N. A. M. Attack

New Orleans, La. U. l.. N. So
When the National Association of
Manufacturers, in its recent conven-

tion of Labor un-American it threw
burning brand that has landed here
and that will be famed with fresh
and vivid oratory in the convention of
the American Federation of Labor
now in full swing.
President William Green is waiting
for the complete and official text of
the employers hostile declaration be-
fore turning the guns on what is re-
garded as the most hostile and preiu-
diced declaration to emanate from
any responsible source in a long time.
Not only did the n. A. NJ. declare
the federation "un-American" in so
many words, but they declared that
labor's hostility to the communists
was in effect smoke screen and that
the federation was making a big noise
about the reds to cover up its own
activities.
Advance reports of what the manu-
facturers had to say have bred a re-
sentiment here that is red hot. The
prospect is that when the firing be-
gins the National Association of Man
ufacturers will be subjected to the
hottest arraignment since the old days
of the Buck Stove and Range case
and the days of Parry, Post and Van
Cleve.

MOVING ALONG
Unions Gradually Forge
Ahead for Five-Day
Week

Washington - Considerable prog
ress in establishing the fve-day week
has been made in the last two years,
according to a survey by the execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Reports from the international
unions show that in October, 1928
twenty internationals have 514 local
unions working tthe five-day, forty
hour week." the survey states.
"These locals have membership
of 64,479. In addition there are at
least $50 union members employed as
clerks secretaries, stenographers
etc, in trade union Offices who have
the five-day week, making total
membership of 165, 1929 who are now
enjoying the five-day, forty hour
work week
Winning the ve-day work week
has been a gradual process, involving
continued emphasis in conferences
with employers, and careful adjust
ment of work One international
states that it's local unions have been
working for many years to establish
the five-day week, and in many hun
dreds of cases it has been discussed at
every meeting with the employers
This has resulted in the gradual de-
velopment of working agreements
and large number of its members
have securde the fve-day week. In
none of these cases has strike been
resorted to.
Several internationals report that
tl!ey are now in negotiation for the
five-day week The wood carvers have
already made an agreement for it
and by March 81, 1929, they will have
210 members working the five-day
week. In New York most of the shops
employing their members and in Ro-
chester the architectural shops have
it in the summer months. The mold
ers al stsoate that number of their
locals in the stove industry have
worked the five-day week in the sum-
mer months for several years"
