Garrett, Kent and Cecil had costs of
more than $40 per pupil.

If Machine Ever Controls
Us, Civilization Is Gone,
Secretary Of Labor Warns

Low Wages Don't Make Nations
LET me say that low wages and
large population never made coun-
try. If that were so, China with her
40O,O00,000 would be prosperous
country. India with her 300,0O0,000
would be prosperous country. Rus
sia with her 14O,OOO,OOO and a new
economic system would be a prosper
Gus country. The millions who are
waiting in foreign lands to come to
America want to come here because
it is to their economic advantage to
do so. Trust them to spot which
country is prosperous.
"We must be on the alert. We must
watch ourselves with this ever-grow-
ing population. We must realize that
history will repeat itself here, as it
has done in other countries. Where
there are two men for every job, the
standard of living is doomed. The
people lose their buying power And
when the 45,OOO,00O here who are
gainfully employed lose their pur-
chasing power, Mr.. Big Business Man
is gone, Mr.. Merchant is gone"

Long Shift and Long Week
Not Ended in Steel Mills,
Church Investigators Find

New York City (ILNS)-The inhu-
man 12-hour day and 7-day week,
popularity believed long since ended
in the steel industry, are still -four
ishing. This is the finding of Emil
M. Hartl and Edward G. Ernst, grad
uate students of Boston University
School of Theology, who made an in
vestigation last summer for the Fed
eral Council of Churches. Results of
their investigation have just been
made public.
The number of plants covered was
155, belonging to 127 companies. AL
most 27 per cent of the men put in
seven-day work week. Over So per
cent were required to work more than
eight hours a day. These facts are
of the highest significance, the Fed
eral Council report says, "in view of
the public announcement in July,
1928, that the long shift in the steel
mills was being abolished"
The 155 plants studied employ ap-
proximately 250,OO0 men. Of these,
146 per cent work ten hours; 81 per
cent work eleven hours, and 6.7 per
cent work twelve hours.

IN the building industry. In 1927 il
reversed its policy of independent ac-
tion and merged with the engineers
At the same time the name of the lat
ter organization was changed from
international Union of Steam anC
Operating Engineers to international
Union of Operating Engineers.
The other building trades unior
which has passed out of existence is
the Tunnel and Subway Contractors
international Union. 1t surrendered
It's charter as national entity in
1929, and became local of the In
ternational Hod Carriers, Building
and Common Laborers' Union.
Hod Carriers Gain
Membership growth is especially
marked in the hod carriers organi-
zation, for which an increase of 3O,-
600 is reported, the department
of labor says, adding that only small
part of this increase can be credited
to the absorption of the tunnel work
ers, who numbered only 1000 in 1926,
The plasterers have added II, 900 and
the bricklayers over 10000 to their
membership since 1926.
Organizations listed under metals
and machinery show slight change
either in structure or in membership.
One small secessionist group, the
Amalgamated Metal Workers, has
collapsed nationally, and its member
ship has probably returned to the
international Association of Machin-
lists, from which it seeded, according
to the department. The independent
United Automobile, Aircraft and We
hicle Workers has suffered material
loss of membership through the with
drawal of two of it's locals in New
York, which have joined the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor as directly
affiliated local unions.
A number of changes have taken
place in the organizations covering
transportation wo rk ers. These
changes have involved the elimina-
tion of several dual organizations.

is regarded as clear perversion of
the whole aim and spirit of the move
ment to stimulate construction. In
stead of a leveling-up campaign, it
has been switched into breaking
down campaign
Turck, who is vice president of the
American Radiator Company, writes:
''The immediate purpose (of the
conference) is to conduct campaign
to stimulate building activity during
the next three months, in advance of
the anticipated summer building rush,
to the end that construction may
progress at an even pace and that
labor may be available at all times
for the proper completion of contem-
plated projects"
The presidential view was that
there be employment; the Turck view
is that there be a labor supply"
Again Turck writes:
"They (banks, building and loan
societies, mortgage companies, etc.
will be warned against the dangers of
unjustifable delays which might
mean eventual labor shortage and
higher commodity prices"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1930-02-28

In one plant it was found that the
electric furnace men work fourteen
hour shifts, the crane men work four
teen hours on the night shifts and ten
on the day, and seven days week,
while many of the common laborers
work sixteen hours day.
The districts covered by the survey
were portions of Alabama, Pennsyl-
vania, Maryland, Ohio, western New
York and northern Illinois. The coun-
Gil, in summarizing the survey, says:
''While the eight-hour day is gen.
orally regarded as a considerable i'm
provement over the twelve-hour day
for men in the continuous processes,
the Investigators are of the opinion
that the eight-hour day, where es-
tablished, still involves much seven
day work.
Wage rate s for common labor
range from "a cents to Sc cents an
hour, but in a majority of cases the
range is from 35 to as cents.
'In at least forty-two plants an
age limit for hiring is in effect and
the range is from 45 to 60 years of
age. The most common age limit is
As years"

COAL INDUSTRY
Wrecked, Says Owner;
High" Wage Ignored

New York.-"The bituminous coal
industry is wrecked" summarizes a
speech by C. E. Bockus, president
Clinchfeld Coal Corporation, before
the coal division of the American In
stitute of Mining and Metallurgical
Engineers.
When coal owners were smashing
the Jacksonville agreement they as
sured the nation that "high" wages
was the single barrier to ideal trade
conditions in this industry. They de-
feated bituminous miners, but every
prediction made by these workers has
been verified.
"The greatest evil facing the indus
try" said Mr.. Bockus, ''is the uneco-
nomic, unreasonable and unfair COM
petition resulting from the operation
Of the law Of the jungle, or the sur
vival of the fittest.
"That law is working, but slowly.
Companies fail, stockholders are
wiped out, mortgage bondholders get
a few cents on the dollar"
The picture painted by Mr.. Bockus
also applies to small business men in
the coal areas who were induced to
support attacks on the Jacksonville
wage scale, but who now face bank
ruptcy because miners have no pur-
chasing power.

EMPLOYMENT
CAMPAIGN ISPUT
in REVERSE
Construction Conference Chair
man Tells the Industry Policy
Is to Stimulate Work to Pre-
vent Labor Shortage" Later.

New York City (ILNS)-The re-
verse spirit that has been put on the
program of construction stimulation
as result of the Hoover conference
is well shown in letters just sent out
by Fenton B. Turck, Jr., chairman of
the national building survey confer
ence.
The original motive for stimula-
ton of work was to provide employ
ment so as to check the unemploy-
ment wave and to provide home
market for commodities.
As interpreted to the construction
industry by Turck, the whole aim of
the campaign to speed up work is to
benefit the owner and employer by as
suring him an adequate Labor sup
ply" and the best attention" This

A. F. Of L. Gains Strength As
One Attack After Another Is
Overcome By Great Movement

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Dual
unions have hit the toboggan, while
American Federation of Labor unions
have gained in membership and
strength, on the basis of compari-
son between records for 1926 and 1929
just made public by the United States
department of labor.
This government department, by
it's official findings, shows clearly the
strength, virility and life of the es-
tablished organized labor movement
and the shifting, slipping, uncertain
and temporary nature of those mush-
room dual organizations that have
sprung into being to challenge its
authority from time to time.
The report, just made public, shows
how one little effort after another has
gone up in smoke. Back of these
vanished dual organizations are bar
rels of empty promises-promises to
do this, that or the other dire thing,
to the American Federation of Labor.
They have mostly gone glimmering
and those that still persist will go in
good time The American Federation
Of Labor shows constant growth. The
others stutter into a hazy existence
and then pass out quietly and un-
mourned.
Cold Figures Tell the Story
Not a few of those that have
passed out, as shown in the report,
were left wing outfits, born to bring
into being some sort of millenial re.
gime. They die soon. Some were
born to satisfy the ambitions of some
disappointed official or group. They,
too, have died and will continue to
die. The cold figures prove the bona
fide, fundamentally right nature of
the American Federation of Labor,
its inherent strength, it's democracy,
it's response to the demands of Amer
ican wage earners for organization.
The diminishing number of organi-
cations is due, in some part, to the
absorption of certain unions by
others, regularly chartered by the
A. F. of L. This has been in harmony
with changing occupational lines.
Membership in all organizations
has shown decrease of 1922 since
1926. Inasmuch as American Fedora
tion of Labor unions show a gain of
126,430 in the same period it must be
assumed that the loss has been en-
tirely loss of strength by dual, rival
and secession unions.
How Figures We're Obtained
The membership figures used by
The department of labor are those
reported by the organizations them
selves in all cases except where the
union has fixed policy of not divulg-
ing it's membership. In those cases
the department has used the voting
strength of the union in the American
Federation of Labor.
Two unions formerly operating in
the construction industry have dis
appeared through absorption by
larger organizations. One of these,
the International Brotherhood of
Steam Shovel and Dredge Men, was
a dual organization which had func-
toned Independently for many years
following it's expulsion from the
American Federation of Labor for re-
fusal to amalgamate with the steam
engineers. The steam shovel mems
union was the only Independent one
