A "duckpin world series" between the
two league-leading teams of the major
leagues around this bailiwick will head
line the brightest bowling card of the

o'clock at Northeast Temple in the FIRST
block of a home-and-hom match for
cash and glory.
TT promises to be one of those matches
i a bowling fan dreams about. The
Pale Dry team was the standout pin
qDnt of 193O-31 In this neck Of the

single-pin tournament; Joe Harrison,
who rolled the highest set ever pinned

Temple will have the high-average
man OF the District League leading OF

washington bowler of 1930-31 in Ollie
Pacini, one of Baltimore's best IN Ed

OIL MAINTAINS ALL WAGE
SCALES

Interesting it is that the great oil
companies are not cutting wages.
Better than that, some of them have
guaranteed that during the coming
year there will be no cuts.
1t is reported that none of the
Standard companies has cut wages,
and that none will. The Shell Oil
Company has announced no cuts dur
ing the coming year. 1t is assumed
the other two Shell operating COM
panies will follow suit.
Nor are these companies materially
altering the number of employees.
With the big oil companies it is
employment as usual.
However, it need not be forgotten
that these giants have been able tC
levy vast tribute in years gone by
storing up riches that would make 9
wage-cut now a fantastic piece o1
economic criminality.
But, remembering that, it is still
good news that oil employment
among the big companies goes on as
usual.

WAGE REDUCTIONS
Is Not the Remedy For Cur
ing Ills of Depression

By l. M. ORNBURN, President
Cigarmakers' International Union and
Secretary Treasurer of Labor's Ma
tional Committee for Modification
of the Volstead Act.
President Hoover recently declared,
while discussing the great depression
from which the world is suffering,
that we cannot legislate ourselves out
of this depression.
The only known or visible force in
America that can bring us out of this
depression and prevent another is the
trade union movement.
The enormously enriched, profiteer-
ing handful of organized trust mag
mates, who work against the millions
of overworked (when they have work.
underpaid workers and deny them the
right to organize, demands our at
tention and action.
The workers are a law-abiding,
peace-loving people, and if accorded
their right to organize for their eco
nomic freedom the same right as en-
enjoyed by organized capitalists, they
are never dangerous. Our courts of
equity insist that everyone, especially
labor, shall come into court with clean
hands. The employers who enjoy the
right to organize for profit, and deny
such right to the workers, should
wash their hands before they knock
at the door of the tribunal of the
people.
Trade unionists, real economists,
industrial engineers, and many en-
ployers or executives of industrial in
stitutions are openly declaring that
reducing wages curtails the purchas-
ing and consuming power of the
masses, and that the inevitable result
would be to prolong the depression
and ultimately reduce the American
standard of living. For years this
has been the slogan and belief of the
trade union movement.
Labor has many accomplishments
to it's credit, for which we can and
do celebrate on this great day-Labor
Day. Another ray of light that shines
through the gloomy shadow caused
by the worlds greatest and meanest
depression is the fact that the loss
of membership has not been as great
as in former like periods of idleness
for the workers. For this we cele-
brate
In the earlier cycles of industrial
and commercial depressions, the rec
ords show that the membership of
the unions rapidly decreased and
wages were cut to the bone, and that
employers justified their action by the
false law of supply and demand
Happily that false theory has been
discredited by the more intelligent
employers of labor who want to be
fair. This furnishes another cause for
encouragement.
Years ago organized labor took the
leadership in showing by demonstrat-
ed facts that low wages first caused
the depressions and that reducing
wages prolonged them.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-09-11

While the unions lost members
during the former cycles Of unem-
ployment, it is also true that they
rapidly regained the losses, and in
each instance the gain went away be-
yond the peak number before the de-
preston; and it will do so again with
the return of prosperity in this in
stance. For this we also celebrate
this day.
Let us on this day rejoice in this
fact, and with renewed courage and
faith in the trade union movement
pledge ourselves individually and col
lectively to redouble our effort to gain
new members, and reduce the hours
of labor Of the workers until all are
gainfully employed. No self-respect-
ing American cherishes the idea of be-
coming charge upon society.
We know that the trade union
movement has been and is responsible
for all that labor has accomplished
in the past, and this fact should be
conveyed to those who are unorgan-
lied.
Double the membership and through
the unions, we CORRESPONDENCE in
crease the earning power and con-
Stunning ability of the masses. This
in itself is guarantee against fur
ther depression with shivering bread
lines of unemployed and destitute
workers, who under such circum-
stances are always dangerous.
Since it is generally known and
understood that we cannot legislate
the depression aside nor can we wish
it away, the only way to get rid Of
it and to prevent another is to adopt
the trade union method of organiza-
zation good wages, and shorter hours
of labor. Without well organized la
Dor, l see not much hope for the
future.
What we need and what our country
needs is courage, faith, organization,
agitation and education.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1931-09-11

Regardless of the deep-seated in
dustrial financial and economic trou-
bles of England, the fact remains that
in facing these difficulties the two
components of the labor party split
wide open.
The whole British labor front is
bound to be affected for the worse.
Instead Of unity anu solidarity within
labor ranks there is dissention and
dispute. Which is right and which is
wrong matters little. There is di-
vision, and that matters a great deal.
There will be in the United States
no desire to express anything but
hopes for the progress of the wage
earning masses of England but the
time is more than opportune to point
again to the soundness of the Amer
lean trade union policy in politics
partisanship to principles, but not to
political parties.
