LONG FIGHT

pies Aid, Says BOstOn's
Mayor

Boston. = The American people
should awaken to the work of organ
lied labor and should Fundamentally
aid that outstanding humanitarian
movement, declared Mayor Curley in
his welcome to the A. F. of L. con-
vention.
The mayor said he recently called
meeting of the presidents of 35
universities in this state to discuss
unemployment. Every invitation was
accepted
81 reminded these educators" said
the city executive, "that organized
labor is the one institution that
stands for social advance and that in
the present economic situation it is
the one institution that has, as it al
ways has, a constructive program.
said the trade union movement has
secured social gains for all the peo-
pie, despite opposition of powerful
interests and even despite the oppo-
sition of workers themselves, and that
it was time that organized labor was
relieved of the burden of carrying
on this struggle unaided, and that

average, applied for help each month.
Even in the most prosperous three
months of 1929, charity organizations
expended more than $1,000,00O a
month.
"These figures, impressive as they
are, can not show the full extent of
the human and economic waste re-
sulting from unemployment" says the
A. F. of L. executive council in its
annual report.
ITO give man charity when he
wants work is to teach him depend
ence and take from him the satisfac-
tion of earning his living by construc-
tive activity. 1t is equally unsound,
economically, to give men charity
while they are idle, instead of letting
them create wealth by their labor.
Unemployment is an Indictment of
our economic control.
'No employer would depend on
charity to keep his machinery in re-
pair or carry his overhead in dull sea-
sons. And yet thousands actually de-
pend on charity to carry their work
force when they are not needed for
production"

NEW YORK REPORTS
MORE FACTORY JOBS

Albany, N. Y. (ILNS)-An in
crease of about 2 per cent in factory
employment in New York from the
middle of August to the middle of
September is the first gain to be re-
ported since last October, according
to statement by Industrial Com
missioner Frances Perkins. The Sep
tember gain is expected to cause a
rise of about two points in the index
number of employment in the state
which stood in August at 1927. The
percentage rise for the month com
pares favorably with that of other
years, although the present level of
employment is the lowest of any Sep
tember on record. The total decline

cruel and savage practice exists now
adays, can learn something from
recent article on the infamous third
degree" by former New York city
detective. Writing in the New York
World, he said that the police, if
they wanted to, employed violence
whenever they dared and up to the
limit of their powers. He excused
this use of torture (Which is what the
third degree" isl by asserting that
the prisoners given the third de-
gree" whether innocent or guilty of
the crime charged, deserve what they
get as they are criminals anyway.
This was exactly the line of argu-
ment used by the torturers of the
Middle Ages to justify their use of
the rack, thumbscrew and other pleas
ant devices of the kind. In their eyes,
all of their victims were criminals"
and had no kick coming, however
horrible their fate.
1t is discouraging to learn that this
point of view still persist. 1t makes
one almost ready to believe that civ
ilization is a sham and that at heart
men are lower than the brutes.

INJUNCTION EVIL
MUST BE REMOVED

Boston.-The injunction is classed
as ga major obstacle" to the work
ers' progress by the A. F. of L. ex-
ecutive council in its annual report.
"We do not dispute the jurisdic-
tion of equity against irreparable
losses when there is no remedy at
law" declared the council. "We OBJ
ject to abuse of procedure and mis-
applications of injunctions because of
the courts misunderstanding of the
rights of wage earners and their ex-
ercise under present economic organ
ization and environment"
The anti-injunction proposal pend
ing in the senate judiciary commit
tee, and which is popularity known as
the Norris bill, is favored by the
council. Every candidate for con-
gress has been asked to specifically
state his position on, this bill. The
query was submitted through state
federations of labor. 1t is the first
time in A. F. of L. history that such
action was taken. When the councils
report was written it was too early
to determine the result.
Candidates for congress who de-
cline to support the measure should
be defeated" the council declares
"The issue is now before the wage
earners."

WHAT A SURPRISE!

A Chicago grand jury has made a
discovery" 1t charges that there is
a 'well established alliance between
the Chicago police department, the
corrupt politician and the criminal
elements"
Well, well, who'd "a thought it?
Grand juries do make startling dis
coveries, sometimes. Just as if any
intelligent person did not know there
must be an alliance between crimi-
mails and at least part of the Chicago
police force If there was no such
alliance, crime would not flourish so
largely unpunished as it does in Chi
cago. And when there is such work
ing agreement" it is a foregone con-
clusion there are corrupt politicians
taking their "cut" of the graft.

WORLD WIDE
Idleness During Entire
Year Sees No Solution

Boston.-The present depression is
world wide, says the A. F. of L. ex-
eeutive council in it's annual report.
The unionists declare that the
"closeness of interest between the
nations of the world" was never more
clearly demonstrated.
eve have suffered because of the
depression abroad, and conditions in
foreign countries have been intensi-
fed by the depression here.
European countries were very
seriously affected by the stock ex-
change crash last fall. They had
large investments in this country and
the Wall street crash was followed
by similar disorders abroad. Busi-
ness depression spread and very few
countries were able to hold out
against the general downward trend.
"With business depression has come
worldwide unemployment. Suffering
in the United States and Canada has
been severe, but in foreign countries
millions more have been out of work.
Unemployment and business depres-
sion have cut down the market for
our goods. Wage earners out of work
could not buy our products and mer-
chants cut down their orders. Ex-
ports this year have been % per cent
below last year."

TWO FIVE-HOUR
Shifts Would Take Up Slack
Say Metal Trades Chiefs

Boston.-Two fve-hour shifts-one
in the morning and one in the after
noon-is submitted as an unemploy-
ment solution by James O'Connell and
John P. Frey, president and secre-
tary-treasurer metal trades depart
ment, R. f. of L., in their annual
report
The two-shift system would reduce
overhead. This plan is as certain as
when the three eight-hour shifts dis
placed the two 12-hour shifts in con-
tinuous production, the unionists say.
"If our manufacturing establish
ments, with their present power and
machinery, were to operate at full
capacity four hours per day, it is
estimated that production would be
greater than at present. Industry is
equipped, in fact it is over equipped,
to produce, but because of new inven-
tions the machinery of today will be
largely obsolete"
The report suggests that trade
unionists keep in mind the difference
between wages and hours. "There is
an economic relationship between the
two, but they are distinct problems.
Wages determine the peoples capac-
ity to buy. Shorter hours might be
accompanied by even greater unem-
ployment than now if wages were so
out of proportion with the wealth
created that the people could not con-
sume."

WAGE CUTS RETARDlNG
BUSINESS REVIVAL,

Wage cuts are helping to prolong
the business depression and retard
recovery. Every wage cut means re-
duction of purchasing power and is a
blow at the national welfare. These
facts are stressed by President Will
liam Green, of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in a message that
ought to be brought to the attention
of every employer in the nation. He
says:
Zone paramount need now is con-
sumer buying. All eyes are on the
retail market. Storekeepers, whole
salers, jobbers are waiting for signs
of better buying before they will
take the risk of ordering ahead. But
workers without income cannot buy
Increasing employment and sustained
wage levels are essential.
"A dangerous tendency now threat
ems the prospect for betterment
Wage cuts have increased in the past
two months. In July, according to re.
ports to the department of labor
| 10000 workers were forced to take
wage eductions-double the number
in any previous month since depres

Business men can hasten reviva

ACCIDENTS IN THE HOME

Twenty-four thousand persons lost
their lives last year through acci-
dents in the home, a large insurance
company reports. The publication of
this figure, which is almost as large
as the number killed by automobiles,
is blow to the comforting belief
that the home is at least compara-
lively free from the perils of the
machine age, and wakens the reali-
zation that women in the home may
be exposed to accident hazards as
well as the factory worker, the
women's bureau of the United States
department of labor points out.
The women's bureau cites the a.
900 domestic fatalities as an argu-
ment for the application of work
mems compensation laws to domestic
workers, of which it says there are
probably 100000. Today of "A
states with compensation laws only
one-New Jersey-provides that COM
pensation be paid for workers en-
ployed in the home. This is sound
argument, as there is no good reason
why all classes of workers exposed
to the hazards of accident should not
be covered by compensation legisla-
ton.

WILL LEARN SOME TIME
Some employers will never learn

Some employers will never learn.
There's H. R. Fitzgerald, head of
the big Danville, Va, textile mills,
who has fatty rejected the offer of
the Governor of Virginia to mediate
in the strike of Danville textile work
ers, declaring "There is absolutely
nothing to mediate"
Mr. Fitzgerald seems to be labor
ing under the delusion that he is liv-
ing in day long gone, when "There
is nothing to arbitrate" was the slo-
gan of "hardboiled" employers whose
employees went on strike.
The days of absolutism are past,
and the man who denies the right of
his employees to a voice in industry is
fighting progress and seeking to turn
back the hands of time. Mr.. Fitz-
gerald made bad move, fact which
will be borne in upon his conscious
ness as time goes by.

CAN REDEEM HIMSELF

Governor Young, of California, has
been trapped in his foxy plan to de-
lay action on the Mooney-Billings
pardon until after the primaries in
that state.
His scheme was to keep everyone
guessing and receive support from
both sides. California citizens nomi-
mated Mayor Rolph, of San Francisco.
Young can redeem himself before
the first of the year when he retires
to private life. But if he does he
must show himself man of courage.

UNION MEMBERSHIP
GAINS THIS YEAR

Boston.-A. F. of L. membership
gained since the last convention, de-
spite the industrial depression.
"The average paid-up and reported
membership for the year ending Au-
gust 81, 1880, is 2,961 ,096, an in
crease of 27,551 members over the
membership reported upon last year, y
said Secretary Frank Morrison, in
his annual report.
National and international organ
izations are required to pay only upon
paid-up membership, and, therefore,
the membership reported does not in
clude all the members involved in
strikes or lockouts, or those who were
unemployed during the fiscal year for
whom the tax was not received" said
Mr.. Morrison.
"a survey of the membership Of
the national and international organ
izations and the unions directly
animated with tne "A. T.. CT IL. lndl-
Gates that because of strikes and un-
employment there were at least 500,-
900 members for whom per capita
tax was not paid to the A. F. of L.
Adding this number to the 1851 ,096
paid-up membership will give a grand
total of 3,461 ,096 MEMBERS"
Secretary Morrison states that 81
charters were issued by the A. F. of
L. during the fiscal year ending Au-
gust 81, 1880. The charters were
divided as follows:: Central labor
unions, II; local trade unions, AZ;
federal trade unions, 8.
