EMPLOYERS CUT
PAY OF WORKERS
in new ORLEANS
Big Retail Stores Slash Salaries
of Lower Paid Employees, AS
Manufacturers Operate On
Part Time.

New Orleans (ILNS) = Business
continues its downward trend, unus-
ual at this time of the year for this
city. Reductions in salaries are a
rule. The Maison Blanche Company,
one of the largest department stores
in the South, has reduced salaries OF
all employees receiving $40 and over,
20 per cent; this was followed by the
ID. H. Holmes Company, second larg-
est establishment in the city, which
cut 10 per cent salaries of all white
collar workers who were lucky enough
to receive SIS a week.
The Marks Isaacs Company, not to
be outdone, handed its underpaid help
a Is per cent cut.
Fully one-half of the wage earners
of the city are now either working on
a part-time basis or have suffered
reduction in wages. The Celotex
Company is operating with half of
its peak of 1000 men. The force of
the company had been enlarged to
1,200 when the plant expanded. Ac-
emulation of a surplus stock result
ed when building activities through
out the country declined.
The mechanical force of Penick &
Ford is working four days a week.
The Asbestos Wood and Shingle Com
pany is employing 62 persons instead
of the normal "a The Southern Cot
ton Oil Company is employing $50
persons out of a nominal $50.
The United States Industrial Alco-
hol Company closed down early in
July. The Maginnis Cotton Mills,
whose highest pay envelope is $12 for
64-hour week, has been closed for
some time.

Walters Spurn "Yellow Dog"
And Hotel Lockout Follows
Union Cooks Mattresses and Operating Engineers
Forced Out by Cleveland Employers-Beginning of
Big "Open Shop" Fight Seen By Labor Men.

Cleveland, O. ILNS)-Refusal Of
the workers to sign yellow dog" con-
tracts has led to the lockout Of three
local unions of the Hotel and Restau-
rant Employees and Beverage Dis
pensers' international Alliance La
Dor men believe the action of the en-
ployers is the beginning of big fight
to force the "open shop" on Cleve-
lands organized wage earners.
The locals involved are Cooks 167
Walters 106 and Mattresses 107, with
500 members. These three unions
have had harmonious relations for
years with the big hotels, agreements
being signed annually on July Is
This year, instead of the usual pro-
cedure, through conferences with the
representatives Of the unions, the ho-
tel arrangements delayed action until
July II. On Monday, July ID, each
employe was called in and asked to
sign a yellow dog" contract. Re
fusal to sign meant dismissal. At a
joint meeting Of the locals, the mem
bers were instructed not to sign.
The locked-out culinary workers at
once picketed the Winton, Statler,
Hollenden, Cleveland and AIlerton ho-
tells. Posting of the pickets resulted
in a strike of operating engineers,
who expressed hearty sympathy With
the culinary workers.

WATERS, who are determined to fight
to finish against the yellow dog"
contract
Full moral and financial support to
the operating engineers, culinary
workers and any others that may be
involved in the fight was pledged by
the Cleveland Federation of Labor at
meeting which heard President
Harry Mclaughlin declare that the
hotels were beginning an "open shop"
fight and that big business was out to
crush labor.
The action of the federation was
taken after President Flore, of the
culinary workers, had said:
"This is not fight merely of the
cooks, walters and Mattresses. It is
an open shop fight Whether we are
the victims because our contract ex-
pired and others are to follow, | do
not know.
"No business men of principle
would say they had the right of col
lective bargaining, while denying that
right to their employees. We are in
trouble, not with the hotels or the
managers, but with interests far
above them"

Trade Union Unemployment Gained
In July, A. F. Of L. Reports Show
Customary Summer Improvement in Building Trades
Has Not Occurred and More Than Twice Many
Men Are Idle as Year Ago William Green Says.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Unem-
ployment in trade unions increased
in July, according to reports receiv-
ed by the American Federation of
Labor Summarizing the reports,
President William Green said:
"The summer dull season has
brought an increase in unemploy-
ment. Reports from trade unions in
"a cities show 81 per cent out of work
as compared with 20 per cent in
June
AN increase in unemployment in
July is not unusual. Our figures for
1923 showed more out of work in July
than June, but this year the increase
is particularly unfortunate, for wage
earners already have a long period of
lowered income and privation behind
them.
''In building trades, the low level
of activity this year has meant less
work than usual, and the customary
summer improvement in employ
ment has not occurred Unemploy-
ment is still at the high May level,
with 81 per cent out of work This is
over twice the number unemployed in
July last year
'In metal trades, special dullness
this year has raised unemployment to
q per cent of the membership in
July. Unemployment has increased

JOBLESS INCREASE;
UNIONS HOLD WAGES

Edmonton, Alberta. II Unemploy-

ers is very severe in the Northwest
ern States and in Western Canada,
according to Carl f. Berg, organizer
Of the international Union of Hod
Carriers. Building and Common La
borers. in commenting on information
gained from an organizing tour
through Montana, Idaho and Utah
No state effort is being put forward
to cope with unemployment
In some Of the cities he visited
Mr. Berg found that the closely-knit
building trades organizations are able
to retain high wages and good work
ING conditions despite the unprece-
jented business depression.

MOONEY AND BILLINGS
INNOCENT; FREE THEM

San Francisco, Calf f-"We reiter-

resolution adopted by the executive
council Of the California State FEEDER
alton Of Labor, and strongly urge
the governor Of California to reopen
the case and use every means at his
disposal to have all the discredited
witnesses brought before competent
authorities 50 that the himsy ex-
cuses for the continued incarcera-
tion of these innocent men may be
fully swept away"

saulted or assailed. We have pre-
served our standards during this dis
tressing period, and it is our purpose
to establish them on an unassailable
basis.
Eve maintain that any reduction
in purchasing power which follows a
reduction in wages would be injurious
not only to the great mass of the
people, but to the whole of society.
If we are to be brought out of the
present industrial depression in a
reasonable length of time, we must
maintain the purchasing power of the
people, because you cannot sell goods
if people cannot buy, and they cannot
buy unless you pay them wages to
buy with"

Reports for the other trades show

There are small increases in manufac-

Purchasing Power Necessary
To Quick Recovery, He Says
Trade Unonism Challenges Idea Unemployment Can Not
Be Prevented, A. F. of L. Head Tells Firemen, Oilers

Montreal ILNS)-Declaring that
labor challenged the idea that un-
employment cannot be prevented,
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, told
the International Brotherhood of Sta
tionary Firemen and Oilers in con
vention here that if the nation is
brought out of the present depression
in reasonable length of time pur-
chasing power Of the people must be
maintained. He declared that labor
will maintain present wage standards
and that it is labor's purpose "to es-
tablish them on an unassailable
basis"
After pointing out that both the
United States and Canada are faced
with unfavorable economic conditions,
President Green said:
eve are in the midst of widespread
industrial depression. Thousands of
working men in every city of the land,
in every town, in every village, in
every community, are tramping the
streets seeking employment. In the
building trades organization, in the
printing, the metal, in the transpor-
tation, in the miscellaneous trades,
they are graphing with this big
problem.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1930-08-08
Labor Deals With Problem

'The American Federation of La
Dor is dealing with this problem, and
so far as we are able, we are calling
the attention of the people upon the
American continent to the necessity
of meeting it and dealing with it con-
structively, so that the men and wom-
en- able and willing to work should be
guaranteed an opportunity under all
conditions that may exist at any time
or any place.
"The Federation of Labor contends
that the problem need not be a neces-
sary evil. There are economists who
argue that recurring periods of un-
employment are necessary and evit-
able
"The American labor movement
challenges that kind of economic
philosophy. To admit that, is to ad
NIT that we are incapable of dealing
with the economic problem of unem-
ployment. Such an admission would
present to coming generations the
most gloomy picture we can possibly
contemplate.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1930-08-08
Can Be Prevented

eve can grapple with it, we can
deal with it, we can prevent unem
ployment. We can so systemic en-
ployment that in the operations of
the economic law and the develop
ment of industry, men and women
can be guaranteed an annual income,
rather than a spasmodic daily wage.
That is the condition we are striv-
ing for.
"Women must not be sacrificed on
the altar of ialism. Men
must earn an income annually to pro-
tect their women folk and enable
them to keep their families in COM
fort and to have the opportunity of
enjoying a greater degree of leisure.
Will Preserve Standards
"For the first time in the history
