BY COMMIT TEE

OF Reservations To Anti
War Pact.
ny United Press Leased Wire


WASl1INGTON, Dee. 1.-THE
expected vote in the senate foreign
relations committee on the Kellogg
anti.War treaty failed to material
we today and the committee ad-
iourncd until tomorrow after scs
sion lasting an hour and n half.
The entire session was occupied
by Senator james A. Reed of Mis-
souri, arguing in favor of the Moses
Reed resolution proposing unofficial
reservations to safeguard tradition
ii American foreign policies such
as the Monroe Doctrine and the
Versailles treaty.
The added delay in getting to
vote dimned still further what
hopes had existed that the treaty
might be reported out and ratified
by the senate before adjournment
next Saturday for the Christmas
holidays.
Both Borah and Reed were reluc
tant to discuss what occurred in the
committee room.
"Scc Rced,' said Borah.
''See Borah, said Reed. No
two men seem TO agree us TO what
happened.
Borah said the Reed Moses reser-
vationists were not attempting to
filibuster the treaty. lie said at one
time a vote appeared near and he
WAS confident vote would be OBJ
tanned either tomorrow or Wednes
day.
It was learned the BRAND offer
of League Of Nations arbitration in
the Bolivian,raraguay dispute was
brought up incidentally. There WAS
point was raised as to what the
United States would do if the
Kellogg treaty had been signed and
the offer then made.
WASHINGTON, Dee. II. = The
Moses Reed resolution proposing
four unofficial reservations to the
kellogg Anti-War Treaty was taken
up by the senate foreign re-.
lations committee in executive scs-
sion today with only half the com
mittcc present.
Senator James \. Reed of Mis-
souri, joint author of the resolution,
demanded adoption Of the resolution
10 protect American foreign policy
from misintcrpretation under the
treaty.
Chairman Borah served notice he
expected a vote today and that in
case none was obtained he would
seek to hold daily sessions until the
vote is reached.
Reed explained the purport of the
resolution, citing opinions of inter
national law experts supporting hIs
position that some explanation of the
American Interpretation should be
adopted.

Traction Workers Fight
In Two Cities to Hold
Union Lines Unbroken

legged to have Disseminated against
members of the union, were refused
in toto by the company, through Jo-
seph j. MCGOWAN, acting president.
In letter to the committee Presi-
dent McGokan said the wage scale
now in effect had been fixed by the
public service commission some
months ago and that there had been
no change in conditions that would
permit an increase in the scale at
this time. In regard to working con-
ditions the company's president set
out that the conditions had been
fixed by the public service commission
and that there was no basis for i'm
proving the conditions as they now
exist
MCGOWAN said that the company
could not take action against officers
of the company for alleged discrimi-
nation against employees because ''no
names had been specified"
Employees have demanded a pro-
gressive scale of wages, starting at
SO cents an hour Under contract
entered into between the employees
and the company, following a strike
more than a year ago, if the COM
pany and employees fail to reach an
agreement, the controversy is then re-
moved before the public service COM
! mission for review and settlement.
The union committee, through it's at
tornye, has announced that the case
will be taken before the commission
for final settlement. international
officials of the union have been on
the ground aiding the local union in
presenting its case.
At the last attempt to secure
wage increase the company obtained a
federal injunction against the men
and international officials, and as a
result two of he international off,
GERS were thrown into jail on a charge
Of violating the injunction.

Washington, D. C. G. L. N. S.)-A
campaign to eradicate from daily
newspapers the improper use of the
phrase labor racketeers" has been
undertaken by International Labor
News Service, and will be continued
with the cooperation of the $50 trade
union newspapers affiliated with the
service.
1t has become customary for re-
porters to write into news dispatches
which are sent broadcast through the
country the allegation that crimes of
violence, particularly in Chicago, We're
due either to alleged "labor racket
eers" or to "labor troubles"

the labor organizations.
At the recent state federation con-

RACKETEERING
is BUSINESS! !!
Victor A. Olander, sec
retary, Illinois State FEEDER
alton of Labor. saws:


In all my twenty-five years
of active connection with the
Chicago trade union movement |
have never known of a single in
stance in which the Employers
Association Of Chicago endeavor-
ed to bring about the peaceable
solution of strike or lockout.
Whenever the Illinois Legisla-
ture undertakes to consider pro-
posals to provide greater protec-
tion for women and children in
industry, the attorneys of the
Chicago Employers Association
are on the ground fighting
against every improvement
The trade unions of Chicago
insist that moral obligations
should be paramount in all mat
ters public and private, includ-
ing industrial questions.
They have no more patience
with men who seek to misuse the
good name of labor than they
have with such reactionary lead
ers of employers as Hostetter
and his ilk.
Legitimate and immoral bust
ness practices, which may prop
erly be designated as ''rackets,"
are not now and never have been
sanctioned by the trade union
movement of Chicago.
The American Federation of
Labor and its state branch, the
Illinois State Federation of La
Dor, as we'll as its city branch,
the Chicago Federation of La
Dor, insist that honesty and de-
cency in business dealings and
relationships are essential not
only to organized labor, but to
the whole community.

Racketeering Criminal Game

The racketeering game is essen
TALLY and solely a criminal business.
That politicians participate to the
extent of affording protection or shut
ting their eyes is at least partly
proven by the fact that in 80 bomb
ings in Chicago in year there has
been no conviction.
international Labor News Service
has undertaken to carry on cam
paign to stop the reckless reporting
of 'labor racketeering" where there
is no such thing. In order to do this
it purposes to check every instance
of such reporting, protest to the
agency carrying the account and to
the papers which publish such ac-
counts.

Labor's Radio at Chicago
Is Authorized to Put Up
Big Broadcasting Station

in his efforts to obtain a proper per-
nit.
"It will allow our station to broad
cast to any point on the North Amer
lean continent. The commission grant
ed at least two-thirds of all we ask
ed, and that is fairly satisfactory,
considering the many claims that are
being put up to that body.
"We will at once proceed to erect
our super-power station on site al
ready acquired in Downers Grove, %
miles west of Chicago.
''There is only one fly in the oint-
ment. A station in Seattle has been
granted the same wave length. This
means that during the winter months
we can not broadcast west of the
Rocky mountains from to IL p. m.
and after 10 p. m. in the summer
months. However, we have the rest
of the world in which to operate at
any time we please"

Washington, D. C. Il. L. N. So
The federal radio commission has
authorized Station VIGIL, owned and
operated by the Chicago Federation
Of Labor, to erect a 50,000-watt super
power broadcasting station.
The commission also licensed the
"Voice of Labor" as the Chicago sta
tion is known, to broadcast on 970
kilocycles instead Of the 620 permit
ted at present.
This greatly increases the power of
the station, which is maintained by
the Chicago Federation of Labor in
cooperation with the Farmers Union
of Iowa.
"The action of the commission
gives VIGIL clear channel and a
broadcasting sphere equal to any
radio station in the United States"

LOAN SHARKS GOUGE

Little Rock, Ark.-The State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor will ask the next
legislature to check the operation of
loan sharks. Interest charges range
as high as 600 per cent.
The legislature passed an anti-loan
shark bill last year, but this was We
toed by Governor Martineau on the
ground that it legalized interest rates
in excess of the figure fixed by the
state constitution.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-11-02

These charges are made, as usual,
without the slightest bit of supporting
evidence. Those who know how the
racketeering game is conducted un-
derstand that not only has trade un-
ionism not even the remotest connec-
ton with the criminal business, but
that in most industries in which rae
keteering violence takes place, unions
do not exist.

Two divisions of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees of America-St.
Louis and Indianapolis-are engaged
in controversies with employers, seek
ing in both places to register gains
for the membership. Here are ac-
counts of the two situations as they
now stand:
st. Louis, Mo. U. L. N. S.)-After
cancellation of it's contract with the
local division of the Amalgamated
Association of Street and Electric
Railway Employees of America, the
traction company here has retreated
from its uncompromising stand, the
agreement has been restored and the
wage controversy has been submitted
to the state utilities commission, un-
der the terms of the agreement.
The road has been organized since
1917 and the union has had contrac-
tional relations with the company for
all of that period
The road passed into the hands of
the receiver and the union went along
harmoniously with the receivers, from
time to time securing small increases
of wage and better conditions, until
the first part of this year when the
men sought a new agreement cover
ing wages and working conditions.
The road had been re-organized, and
the receiver discharged prior to the
submission of the agreement. A
struggle took place reaching a point
where a serious situation seemed
likely to result.
The company refused arbitration
and notified the division of the can
collation. of the contract. However,
the union worked out of that stu
alton very satisfactory, the agree
ment was restored and the provision
of the agreement which calls for sub
mission of wage controversies to the
state utility commission was applied.
Hearings have been going on for
some period and the case is not yet
closed, but it is expected that within
the week it will be in the hands of
the commission for final judgment.
