INDUSTRIAL
NEEDLE UNION
MAKES DEMAND
Real Dress Strike Soon
Against Piecework

NEW YORK.-The Executive of
the Shop Delegates Council of the
Needle Trades Workers Industrial
Union has adopted demands to be
proposed to the Shop Delegates
Council meeting for approval. They
are directed against the most out
standing evils in the dress trade.
The long hours, and particularly
the piece work system, has been OPP
tent and has subjected them to such
merciless exploitation that the dress
makers are more than ever before
confronted with the necessity of I'M
dertaking a struggle. The demands
for shorter hours and for week work
are becoming the dominant demands
of the dressmakers at the present
time.
Struggle Near
The members of the Shop Dele
gates Council will be called upon to
thoroughly discuss the dress situa-
ton and the proposed demands, and
also concrete measures to develop
Tie preparations lOI Lie uISSS SIElho
on mass scale.
The Union will also call upon the
active dressmakers to come to this
meeting of the Shop Delegates Coun-
Gil to listen in and familiarize them
selves.
Prepare Strike
Beginning with the coming week,
the entire machinery of the Industrial
Union will be directed mainly toward
the preparation for the dress strike.
Special shop meetings, building meet
ings and street meetings will be
called for this purpose. Special dress
strike leaflets and bulletins will be
issued. Open-ai meetings will be
held in every section regularly for
the preparation of the strike. Con-
ferences and mass meetings are
scheduled to take place for the mo-
of the dressmakers. All the
forces of the Union will be thrown
in for the building up of shop COM
mittees and contacts in open shops,
as well as company union shops.

Serious industrial accidents measured

the statement of w. O.. Stack, presi-
dent of the International Association
of Industrial Accident Boards. In an
address before his association. DR..
Stack stated that there were $4,000
Industrial deaths and 3,125,000 non-
fatal accidents in the United States
in 1929.
Stack reported that while temper
airy injuries have decreased in recent
years fatalities and permanent in
juries have increased. He listed as
possible causes of this alarming
condition the increased mechanical
ton of industry, the unemployment
situation and concentration on minor
hazards to the neglect of major ones.

The distinction between globaI tonnage and ton- mage by categores, which figures prominently in the dispatches from the London Conference, should not be hard to grasp.
 Global tonnage means total number of tons assigned to nation for distribution as it seems fit among various classes or categories of ships Under the global arrangement nation might go in exclusively for battleshps or cruisers or sub marines Tonnage by categories means determining by treaty how many tons a nation shall be per mitted to have in each class of ships.
 The intelligent reader will at once perceive that the distinction between global and categorical is by no means confined to naval conferences In many walks of life public and private people are
 in the habit of talking either globaly or cate gorlcally Thus, to use common illustration from the humorous weeklies when a man comes home about a. m. in slightly dazed condition and his wife asks where he has been he always replies globally: Oh bishness m'dear bishness in toffice, lots nlots bishness" His wife on the other hand is apt to inquire categoricaly about the pre- else nature of the business, it's amount with whom negotiated, where, and so forth
 Similarly a spokesman for the administration describing the economic outlook for the year 1880 is almost sure to speak gobally. The foundations of the country are sound the heart of the American people is stout, our natural resources are inex- haustible, and national destiny is written in the stars. When prodded into mentioning categores he is not so convincing. There is, of course the gratifying increase in steel production and there s oh yes the notable incease in the produc- tion of steel and there the cheerful figures on steel output .
 But unquestionably the field in which there is the greatest amount of global eloquence is Pro- hibition There you have choice between Prohibition endowing with boundess prosperity safeguarding family life, filling up the high schools and colleges and garages, Prohibition undermin-
 ing the Constitution, confusing politics corrupt ing our young and populatng our prisons and asylums When it comes to quoting categorical figures for happier homes and fuller prisons, the
 showing is not very good either side.

 Duty is rewarded in the consciousness of him who has done what he ought. Nothing can affect this sweet realization. It is of the superior lcompensations of life. It lifts the individual infn- itey above the sordid and envous aspect of things It makes him oblivious to nvidious and surrepti- tious assumptions whose hollowness may not be apparent, but which nevertheless very real
 Sometimes it is hard to do the thing one ought but, having done it, the reward of soul satisfaction cannot be denied to the doer of his duty. The thing we ought to do makes for spiritual development, always. We may evade, refuse to do it. but when we do must suffer, as we must
 suffer when we assume to profit by and enjoy the
 fruits of another's duty, public or private This is what the master bard meant when he wrote Who steals may purse steals trash, but he who fiches from me my good name'-etc. Ebert Hubbards paraphrase of the Golden Rule is perhaps more striking in this day than is the scriptural form of that a-inclusive admonition.

intent getting a pack, should encourage immi- grafton to the Territory of a sufficient number of adults to operate at capacity, what would be the effect? They could guarantee employment for not to exceed average of three months in the
 mer, much less than that to fishermen What would
 the twelve thousand to fifteen thousand additional population do for the other nine months of the year to earn livlihood? Alaska has no industry to absorb them in the off-canning season. There
 is absolutely nothing to which they could turn for employment. The packing industry could not, and neither could any other, afford to pay high enough wages to enable its employees to live in idleness nine months out of each year. Any bus- ness readily that the idle population would have to be supported by doles out of the public treasury go in want. And unemployed
 workers supported by doles or left to their own resources, do not indicate a desirable state of economic conditions.
 Alaskans, whether they are engaged in business or the professions, whether they be wage workers or salaried employees who honestly endeavoring to completeness, living within their incomes and developing the Territory through genuine ef- fort, too progressive minded to be deluded by such sophistry that contained in Judge Wick ersham's plea. The voters of the First Division can we are confident, be depended on to reject at the polls his doctrine of destruction of capital merely because it happens to have it's home in Seattle, Portland San Francisco What is needed now, and that which the big majority of Alaskans want than anything else is more outside capital to invest in the Territory's undeveloped resources to the end that wider range of indus tries will be established capable of giving employ ment the entire year rather than for a short period during the summer months We feel safe in predicting that the electorate of the First Division will not knowingly vote for candidates openly pledged to destroy Alaskas present largest industry, but will elect Legislators in whom they have confidence to pass just and reasonable laws calculated to open up the great natural resources now lying dormant

TALKIES HAVE
BROUGHT NEW
PROBLEMS
BY A. M. JAMESON

Ever since Hollywood went to
Wall Street--or, as some would
have it. Wall Street went to
Hollywood-it has been an open
question whether the alliance
of the two would prove . per
manent one.
: There have been those who be-
Iieved that the movie industry
could be Stabilized and made to
pay dividends, to the masters Of
finance just ais regularly as their
industrials or their bonds.
Naturally, there have been
other realists who, knowing the
eyanescent character of theatrical
property and the fleeting caprices
Of public taste, have felt that
high finance, in taking control
Of the movies, was simply letting
itself in for a sound beating
and real diSillusionment.
The emergence Of the talkieS
during the past 10 months, In
volving much higher production
costs in the studio and a heavier
overhead all around, has been, &C.
companied for the most part by
a substantial and in many cases
sensational increase in oo4-office
receipts almost everywhere.

Production Geared Up

''With ratistics arguing an over
whelming majority Of poor box
office returns throughout the
country, hollywood stands ready
to spend a greater sum than ever
before on production during the
coming season. It is all quite
fantastic. In a small town like
this, where 90 years ago there
were only two banks, today there
are 33. Hollywood Boulevard,
ablaze with neon lights, boasts
seven large-sized theaters, and a
$5,OOO,O0O Ritz.Carlto1l hotel is
ready to start up at almost any

panies has u production schedule

Brothers and First National, vir-
tually one and the same, totaling
81 millions. A proposed general
budget for 1930.31 Of 965 full
length films, short subjects and
comedies shows an increase Of
more than 35 per cent over any
previous year of the Hollywood
film industry, and the estimated
screen expenditure will overtop
other years by more than 40
millions.

Return to Normal

Now, however, there are signs
OF a return to the normal crosses
in the movie houses of two or
three years ago, according to the
experts, There is no slump, no de-
preston; merely an indication
that the bonanza period Of the
tallxies has passed, that the nov
city of them no longer draws the
public inside the theater, and that
the new form Of screen entertain:
ment has created new and exact
ing standards for plays presented
in the films. The public can stay
away with alarming ease when
these standards are not met. The
fact seems to be that when the
movies became the talkies they
leaped at once into larger
sphere, challenging comparison
with the so.called legitimate
drama; and they are now being
called upon to make the challenge
good.
Here is what one Hollywood OBJ
server says about the situation:
Hollywood presents the strang'
est economic riddle today, one
which only the most blue-blooded
optimist can face without finch
ing. Within the citadel of the
cinema the machinery that grinds
out the screen entertainment Of
the world is being geared up to
even greater concert pitch than
ever before, while out in the high
ways and byways mediocre bust
ness reports continue to pile up.

Both have been tremendous sue
