UNION PRINTERS
Give Day a Week for Idle

New York City QLNS)-Typo-
graphical Union No. has announced
extension of its plan to help unem-
ployed members. Beginning May !
and continuing for II weeks employees
in the newspaper composing rooms
will work voluntarily five days a week
to allow a substitute to work the sixth
day. Printers in the book and job
branch will pay an extra assessment
of per cent as their contribution to
unemployment benefits.
The decision of the printers was
made by referendum vote. Under the
terms of the vote the newspaper
printers are relieved of paying the a
per cent assessment. The book and
job printers may elect to take day
off each week for three months and it
they do so they will not be required
to pay the assessment.
There are about $500 situations in
the newspaper composing rooms, and
it was estimated by union officials
that the five-day week plan would
enable substitutes who now work one
or two days a week to work five days.

WAGES SLASHED
ON FEDERAL JOB
LA GUARDIA SAYS
n. Y. Congressman Charges
WarDepartment is Paying
Below Prevailing Scale on
West Point Construction.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-In a
letter to Secretary of Labor Doak.
Representative La Guardia, of New
York, fatty charges that the war de-
partment has taken advantage of
present unemployment conditions to
pay less than the prevailing wage
rate for the construction of govern
ment buildings at West Point.
Mr.. La Guardia asserted that plas
terers, bricklayers and masons were
being paid 68 to rs cents an hour less
than the prevailing wage rate in the
neighborhood of West Point. He ask
ed Secretary Doak to lay the facts
before President Hoover for remedy.
81 am certain that the whole coun-
try is back of President Hoover in
his effort to prevent a defation of
wages and lowering the American
standard of living" Mr. La Guardia
wrote.
Il appeal to you as the representa-
tive of labor in the executive branch
OF the government and because all eff
forts on the part of labor with the
war department have been ignored"
Conditions at West Point were
brought to the attention of the sec
retary of war only recently by Off
cials of the Bricklayers, Masons and
Plasterers' international Union, Mr..
La Guardia said.
II am informed that these officials
were told by the quartermaster'
office that they were acting under or
ders, and would pay the prevailing
rate of wages when ordered to do so,
he wrote
'It is impossible to explain to them
why government department takes
advantage of the unemployment situa-
ton to reduce wages, especially when
the law requires the payment of the
prevailing rate and congress has ap-
propriated sufficiently to carry out
the intent Of the law"
Mr.. La Guardia said that there had
been "a most disgraceful and fragrant
disregard of the prevailing rate of
wages" at West Point, and he added
that the war department "is setting
a bad example to industries and is
placing the administration in a most
ridiculous position"

SHORTER WORK DAY
TO MEET MACHINERY

New rk-There is a constant
spectre of unemployment, because of
machinery, said DR.. George Barton
Cutten, of Colgate University, in an
address in this city.
The educator said that with a more
efficient use of machinery and more
equal distribution of profits "it seems
likely that our present state of de-
velopment would warrant six if not
a four-hour day.
IF we are to have employment for
ALL" he said, "either we must curtail
of labor, and there is no chance of
curtailing the machine"
