Labor Hits Mail Order Firms
For Awarding Big Printing
Jobs to Union Concern

Chicago (I L. N. S.)-As the result
of publicity given the matter through
the labor press by international La
Dor News Service, Montgomery Ward
& Co. and Sears, Roebuck & Co., big
Chicago mail order houses, have been
receiving protests from organized Ia
Dor in various parts of the country
in reference to the awarding of the
contracts for printing the catalogues
of the two mail order houses to the
notoriously unfair R. R. Donnelley d
Sons Company, biggest non-union
printing firm in the world.
Former members of Chicago Typo
graphical Union No. 6, but now work
ing at the trade in other parts of the
country, are active in the fight. Ray
Wilson, for several years very popu-
lar member of No. 49, but now presi-
dent of San Bernardino (Cal.) Typo
graphical Union, is stirring up the
trade union movement on the Pacific
coast.
7. R. Cuthbert, formerly member
of No. l6, but now a delegate in the
Chattanooga Trades and Labor Coun-
Gil, has obtained favorable action for
the Chicago printing trades unions by
the council, and has taken steps to-
ward arousing the trade unionists of
Nashville, Tenn.
Contract Involves Big Sum
The sum of $3O0O0,OOO is involved
in the Sears Roebuck contract, which
is to run for ten years at $3,000,00O
year, beginning March /, 1880
Meantime the work will be executed
under union conditions. The Mont
gomery Ward catalogue already is
being printed by the Donnelley con-
Germ.
Nine hundred members of Chicago
Typographical Union No. 16 will be
affected by these two contracts. Be-
sides that, several hundred pressmen
press feeders, binders, bindery girls
and photo-engravers are involved.
Gen. Robert E. Wood, president OF
Sears, Roebuck & Co., is alleged te
have said that he did not give damn
what organized labor thought about
it.; that he would have his printing
done wherever he saw fit, whether by
union labor or non-union labor.

By CHESTER NJ. WRIGHT

Miami, Fla. U. L. N. S)-Two vi
tai issues are before the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor executive council in session
here. They are:
|. How to save the jobs of men
over 40 who are fired by employers in
order to keep down group insurance
and casualty premium rates.
2. To what extent is communist
propaganda and trickery responsible
for the many-fold attacks levelled
against the trade union movement
and its leaders in the last two or
three months
The effort to answer the first of
these questions may lead to an inves-
tigation of the whole field of employer
group insurance and casualty COM
pany practices.
The effort to get at the bottom of
the second may lead to an explosion
that will make the John Dewey epi-
sode of New Orleans look like an 1890
lawn social.
Humanity VS.. Profits
Regarding the first question it has
been found that employers who are
paying for group insurance and cas-
ualty protection have more and more
adopted policy of discharging men
over 40 for the purpose of keeping
insurance premiums down. Premiums
for this protection are paid on a
schedule that is governed by the aver
age age of all employers. The fewer
older men there. are on a payroll the
lower the insurance rate. Conse-

that this would induce employers to

in establishing free employment
agencies.

VICIOUS PROPOSAL
CHECKED BY LABOR

Raleigh, N. C.-Organized workers
checked the passage of a bill which
provides that mortgages shall be
given preference over verdicts in in
jury cases.
This vicious proposal passed the
state senate and was favorably re-
ported by house committee, but
the workers secured its recommit-

Firing Of Men Over Forty,
Attacks on Labor Leaders,
Taken Up at Miami Meeting

quently many employers have sought
low insurance rates at the expense of
humanity
This is one of the evils of group in
surance paid for by employers. How
to reach this evil is admittedly prob
lem not to be solved at once, but
there is evidence that the council does
not intend to stand idly by while this
new menace to men who are not old,
but who are at their best, grows and
works its untold hardship.
What Inspires Left" Attacks
The business of meeting recent at
tacks from the brethren of the left is
another matter. This attack has come
from several sources simultaneously
and along lines that show almost no
variation. In other words, there is
| little difference between the attacks
that have been made by the commu-
nists, the socialists, the Nation, Prof
John Dewey and others who have
| joined the chorus. The communists
have declared that they intend to join
all such attacks and assist those who
make them Whether there is more
than that to the business is what the
council wants to know. 1t is no
secret that there is suspicion of COM
munist inspiration for almost all of
the attacking that has been done, or
that it is in one way or another the
result of communist intrigue. If the
suspicious can be proven there may
be sensation that will rock intel
lectual circles, certain educational
circles and certain other circles in
professional life beside which what
has so far developed will fade into
tameness.
Brookwood to Front Again
Before the meeting is over the
whole Brookwood business is expected
to come to the front again. 1t can
scarcely be separated from the larger
issue, particularly in view of Presi-
dent Green's recent slashing retort to
the Brookwood pretenses. Brookwood
has done its best to rally all its intel
| frrn tntS1 4tnt
there is no intention here of letting
Brookwood "get away with" anything
at all, and that the scholastics of
Katonah have not had much more
than sample of the battle. It is

made clear that there is no intention
to attempt any interference with
Brookwood's right to teach as ii
pleases-and that has been the posi-
tion from the beginning-but that il
will be demonstrated clearly that or
ganized labor has right to cease
giving support if, as and where il
pleases and to publicly announce the
fact, and that it is entitled to do sc
for any reason which it deems suf.
ficient without having its rights OF
its motives impugned.

RESOLUTIONS
Plentywood, May 9th, 1929.

Farm Bill of Herbert Hoover and
Congress seems a "joker" and the
farmers are becoming impatient Of
any action by Congress for farm re-
lief; be it hereby
Resolved by the Plentywood Coun-
Gil No. of P. F. A, assembled, in
regular meeting, May 9th, 1929, that

WANT
u UNION, TOO

Elizabethton, Tenn.-(FP)-Farm-
ers of Carter County, fathers and
brothers of the $500 girls included
among the $500 rayon strikers, who
have been clamoring to join the tex
tile workers union are now so insist
ent that strike leaders are starting a
farmers union. Grocer White. who
gave away all of his stock to the
strikers, is taking the leadership, as
ne helped run farmers cooperative
in Virginia when he was coal miner
in the union days in that field.
Many farmers are sending food
stuffs to the strikers. A dairy man
gives buttermilk to all strikers fami.
lies and others help out with salt
pork, potatoes and beans.
Most of the farmers, however, are
poorer than the rayon workers anC
are loaded down with debt. MANY
strikers are farmers who came into
the mills to earn money to pay of
debts, only to find themselves worse
off than ever. Many of the larger
farmers say that they will give theil
produce to the strikers rather than BIZ
robbed by the commission men anC
merchants in the city.

kid GLOVES"

heogh military reservation near Miles
City has just been designated as a ma
tlonal bird refuge, according to an
nouncement by Congressman Scott
Leavitt. The executive order estab-
fishing the refuge was issued by Pres
ldent Hoover after the plan had been
presented by Mr.. Leavitt, at the re-
quest of the rod and gun club at
Miles City.
The former military reservation is
now a federal range livestock expert
ment station, and contains a 70 acre
artificial lake. The land area is
quite extensively inhabited by prairie
chickens and pheasants, and the lake
is used as a resting area by large
number of migratory waterfowls in
the course of their annual migrations.
Under the plans of the department
of agriculture, one of the permanent
employees of the range livestock sta
ton will be designated as warden, to
enforce regulations prohibiting hunt
ing on the reservation. The overflow
OF game animals and birds from the
protected area is expected to greatly
improve hunting conditions in the con.
tlguous territory.

With the sun shining brightly but
roads in poor condition because of
previous rains, Plentywood observed
Memorial day in most fitting man
ner.
Memorial services were held at the
Orpheum Theatre with Rev. l.. N.
Fields of Williston, N. d., as speaker
OF the day, using as his topic Hatred
for War Is the Only Hatred We
Should Tolerate"
His discourse on the curse of war
was we'll received by his audience
who enjoyed the address and listened
with quiet attention to the end.
The Memorial Day exercises were
conducted under the auspices of the
local Legion post and Auxiliary and
was very impressive, especially the
ceremony of grave decoration given
at the hall instead of at the cemetery
because of the heavy condition of the
roads.
Following is the program of the
day which was carried out IN very
commendable manner:
