DEAD
Was Many Years Chief OF
Stationary Firemen
and Oilers

Asbury Park, N. j. (ILNS)-Tim-
othy Healy, of New York city, we'll
known labor man and for years pres
ident of the International Brother
hood of Stationary Firemen and Oil
ers, died here July 20 at the age OF
Ga. He was at one time active in
politics and served four years as cor
oner in New York.
:" Tim" Healy, as he was popularity
known, was born in Ireland. After
coming to the United States he be-
came stationary and marine fireman
and soon was taking a leading part in
the labor movement. He was defeat
ed for president of his union at the
annual convention of the organiza-
ton in Cleveland in 1927, it being
urged that the union needed a young
er man to head it. At that time
Healy was 81.
La 1920 Healy attended the Brit

mouth, England, as delegate of the
A. F. of L. Four years later he was
delegate to the world power con
ference in London He made thirty
seven earlier crossings of the Allan
tic, on those occasions in the capacity
of stoker or cattle-tender.
At a dinner given in Healy's honor
in New York city on December s,
1927, Secretary of Labor James j..
Davis said that "no labor leader has
ever had more friends than Healy for
the reason that he has given labor a
new dignity, a new title to public re-
spect.' Davis recalled that he and
Healy had landed as immigrants at
Castle Garden the same year.

; GREEN SAYS
High Wages Are Best Aid
in Business Slump

Montreal-"For the first time in
cyclical unemployment our general
wage structure has not been assail-
ed," said VIM. Green, president A. +.
of L., in an address before the conven-
tion international Brotherhood of
Stationary Firemen and Oilers.
1--WE have preserved our standards
during this distressing period said
Mr. Green. "Any reduction in pur-
chasing power which follows reduc-
tion in wages would be injurious not
only to the great mass of the people
but to the whole of sociey. If we are
to be brought out of the present in
dustrial depression in reasonable
length of time, we must maintain the
purchasing power of the people"
President Green challenged the
theory of certain school of econo-
mists that recurring periods of un-
employment are necessary and inevi-
table.

NIT that we are incapable of dealing

On New Hospital Protested
BY Labor

Gulfport, Miss. (ILNS)-Armed
with an order from Governor Bilbo
authorizing the use of state convicts
on the completion of the new state
insane hospital in Rankin county,
Superintendent j. w. Williamson, of
the Mississippi state penitentiary,
said that everything was in readi-
ness for the transfer of large num-
Der of the convicts to Rankin county,
where a camp would be established
and the heavy and rough labor on the
completion of the new insane hospi-
tai begun Immediately" He had al
ready been ordered by the governor

thing was in shape to "get busy" at
once on the project. Organized labor

Woll gave the committee a descrip-
tion of the communist philosophy
warning that agreements made by
communists are made to be broken
whenever it suits the communist pur-
pose. He paid his respects to the
apologists for communism and to the
friends of the reds among the intel

On the witness stand for a full half
day, Mr.. Woll presented a tremen-
dous Indictment of the communist
propaganda, both as propaganda in
the United States aimed at American
trade unionism and American institu-

duct revolutionary operations in the
United States. He declared he could

ENGINEERS STICK
BY INVESTMENT

Cleveland, Ohio (ILNS)-Decision
to hold and operate the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers $15,000,00
real estate Investment at Venice,
Fla, until an acceptable plan of
liquidation can be worked out, was
announced at the closing session of
the brotherhood's 1880 convention
here.
Two alternatives were before the
elegates-immediat sale of the
property at heavy loss or continued
development until satisfactory sale
.an be made.
The policy of the administration of
Grand Chief Alvanley Johnston will
be to liquidate the Venice holdings,
as they cannot be held on terms
satisfactory to the brotherhood.
That has been Johnston's policy on
most of the brotherhood's invest
ments since he was elected head of
the organization in 1927. When his
administration came into power in
1927 the brotherhood had 36 financial
investments in various projects
throughout the United States. In the
last three years the brotherhood has
withdrawn from 80 of the projects.
The convention was strikingly har-
monious Before the adjournment
the delegates stood and gave an en-
thusiastic ovation to Johnston.

5-Day Week Cuts Unemployment
Electrical Workers. Union Finds
Ten Per Cent More of Men Kept Steadily at Work Since
Inauguration of Shorter Week. Investigation of Con-
ditiOns in Several Cities Reveals

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-A sur
vey of cities where electrical work
ers have the fve-day working week,
made by the Electrical Workers
Journal, official organ of the Inter
national Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers, reveals that local unions
which have kept a record of unem-
ployed believe that the five-day week
kept 10 per cent more of their men
steadily employed.
Results of the investigation empha-
size that continued increase in the
number of jobless workers due to la

Reporting on it's survey, the Jour
nal says:
"In all cases the Journal found the
union struggling with unemployment.
The situation is acute in many cities.
The peak of unemployment was
reached in March this year and has
run as high as 43 per cent. The re-
covery is very slow. 1t is apparent
that the three types of unemploy-

Present Pay Scales Maintained
By New Anthracite Coal Pact
Peace Assured for Five and Half Years By Agreement
Signed in New York Following Conferences Between
Representatives of Miners and Operators

New York City (ILNS)-Following
conferences here lasting three weeks,
new wage and working agreement
between the United Mine Workers of
America and the anthracite coal oper-
ators has been reached. Present wage
scales are maintained and provision is
made for the working out of COM
prehensive plan of cooperation be-
tween operators and miners.
The new agreement goes into effect
September l, superseding the old
agreement, which was signed Febru-
ary II, 1926 1t is to run until April
1, 1886.
A joint committee representing the
miners and operators drew up the
agreement, and it was then ratified
by the miners full scale committee
The anthracite miners have been
called to meet in convention at Scran-
ton, August 4, to consider the new
pact. President John L. Lewis, of
the United Mine Workers, predicts
that it will be approved.
The agreement provides for no de
crease in pay, a modified form of the
check-off, or collection of union dues
by the operators, payment of miners
by check, and the establishment of
permanent committee of u men to
consider and discuss all questions
arising under this contract relating to
cooperation and efficiency and per-
formance of the contract by the
parties and the relations of the

parties which either party may pre-
sent for consideration and discus
sion"
Joint Statement Issued
A joint statement was issued by
President Lewis and w. W. Inglis,
president of the Glen Alden Coal Co
of Scranton the heads of the two
delegations praising the agreements
as "a remarkable contribution to the
stability of American industry and
American prosperity"
The statement said:
'We are gratified to confirm the
negotiations of a new agreement that
will spell industrial peace in the an
thracite region after the expiration
of the present contract for further
period of 51a years. This will mean
an unbroken era of peace in this
great industry for approximately 10
years, and, in our estimation, will be
a remarkable contribution to the sta
bility of our American industry and
American prosperity.
"The agreement is predicated on
continuation of the present wages
and will speak for itself. 1t also pro-
vides in a comprehensive fashion the
working out of a concrete program
Of cooperation and efficiency be-
tween the operators and the mine
workers. 1t provides for mutual ac-
commodation to each other in work
ing to carry on a great industry"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1930-08-01

is due to more than one cause, and
that they foresee the necessity of
keeping accurate records of the men
at work and the men on enforced va.
cation.
Shorter Weeks Advantages
"The urgent campaign for the five
day week conducted by organized
labor during the last three years was
given impetus by growing unemploy-
ment due to introduction of labor
saving machinery. The idea of the
short work week was traditional with
labor. But the necessity was not SO
dire until automatic machinery began
to take the place of hand skill.
Whether the introduction of the five
day week by electrical workers in a
half hundred widely scattered cities
has had the desired effect of lessen
ing the blow welded by mechanical
ton is hard to determine, especially
in a depression period. Yet where
unions have kept local record of
employment, figures show that unem-
ployment has been curtailed. Where
the union has kept no accurate fig
ures, the firm conviction prevails,
founded on experience, in time of de-
preston, that the five-day week has
been a big factor in cutting unem-
ployment Other advantages cited
by correspondents include:
more leisure for study and home
building.
Higher morale among the work
men"

New York City (ILNS)-There has
never been a single hour of a single
day since Lenin and Trotsky over
threw Kerensky in Moscow that some
where American trade unionism has
not been in battle with communism.
SO testified Matthew Woll, vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor, before the house committee
of which Congressman Hamilton Fish
is chairman, investigating red propa-
ganda under Moscow's direction.
Woll declared his conviction that
propaganda in the United States is
under direction of the red high COM
mand in Moscow, and he branded the
Amtorg Trading Corporation as the
connecting link He reviewed the
communist efforts in Gastonia and
called attention to the interlocking
directorate device by which commu-
nists have insinuated themselves into
wide range of organizations that
profess liberalism" or "progressiv-
ism"
Points to News Connection
Pointing to the congressional di-
rectory, the witness cited the fact
that the official soviet telegraph
agency and the Federated Press are
represented in Washington by the
same man, and that the same office
address is given for both. He pointed
also to the financial aid given the
Federated Press, Brookwood and
other organizations by the Garland
Foundation, on whose board of trus-
tees, he said, communists have been
exceedingly influential.
Woll held the government all too
lenient in permitting entry of COM
munist agents, and he held that re-
strictions ought to be frightened and
that there should be mo particularly
gentleness in dealing with these gen
tlemen."
Does Not Favor Police
Questioned by the committee as to
whether there should be some sort
of federal police to deal with COM
munism Woll declared that it would
first be necessary to define police. ;"
He said he, believed the government
should develop channels through
which to secure information, but he
would not endorse the idea of police
force.
Woll opened his testimony with a
dramatic incident. He recalled to the
committee that in 1922 a senate COM
mittee had opened an investigation to
determine whether it should recon-
mend recognition of the soviet re-
gime. He said representatives of the
state department were heard and
that Samuel Gompers was summoned.
He recalled that Mr.. Gompers ap-
peared at the appointed time, with his
evidence, ready to testify. He said
that for some reason not known to
him Mr.. Gompers was not allowed to
take the stand, and that the hearing
was adjourned without Mr.. Gompers
ever having had an opportunity to
present his evidence.
