A. F. Of L. to Support Federal
Workers in Pay Cut Fight
President Green Announces LabOr's Determination to
Vigorously Oppose Reduction i'm Government EN-
plOyes Wages

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Presi-
dent William Green has served notice
that the American Federation of La
Dor will oppose cutting wages of fed
eral employees with all it's power Two
bills to cut federal employees pay
have already been introduced and
others are in prospect.
ut is the intention of the officers
of the American Federation of Labor
to oppose in every honorable way any
attempts on the part of congress to
lower the living standards of govern
ment employees through the imposi-
tion of reduction in wages" Presi-
dent Green to Representative Joseph
w. Byrns, chairman of the house
committee on appropriations. The
letter to Representative Byrns said:
Because of my deep solicitude for
the economic and social welfare of the
thousands of governmental employees
and because of the feelings of appre-
hension which prevail in the minds of
the officers and members of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, | am
writing you regarding suggestions
which have been made in various
quarters that substantial reduction
in wages should and must be i'm
posed upon government employees. |
know of no action which the govern
ment could take which would arouse
SO much disappointment and dissatis-
faction. The laboring people employ
ed in private industry in all sections
of the land will join with the govern
ment employees directly affected in a
vigorous protest against a lowering
of the standard of living through the
imposition of reduction in wages
upon government employees.

New York City (ILNS)-The recent
arrival and entry of another cargo of
Russian lumber here has resulted in
another protest from the National
Lumber Manufacturers Association to
the secretary of the treasury, that
Section 307 of the tariff act of 1890
is not being adequately enforced.
This section prohibits importations
of merchandise produced wholly or in
part by convict labor.
The recently arrived cargo was
shipped from Archangel, which is
within the Russian region in which the
treasury department, in February,
1881, found that convict labor was be-
ing used in the production of pulp
wood and lumber. That cargo and
also several previous ones were ad-
mitted on the ground that the pre-
ponderance of evidence indicated that
the shipments were entirely the prod
uct Of free labor. The Lumber Asso-
citation asserts that this preponder-
ance consisted Of the filing of series
of affidavits which have been accepted
without verifcation. at is apparent
from these facts" it says, chat either
the law as it now stands cannot be
effectively enforced, or it is not being
properly administered"
In other words, apparently all the
Russians have to do to satisfy the
treasury department regulations is
to make affidavits that lumber in
question is not produced by convicts,
the Lumber Association says.
Law Nullified in Practice
1t is contended that if the present
situation is result of inability to en-
force the law it would seem that the
secretary of the treasury should SO
advise congress. This contention re-
lates to the fact that treasury off,

when it was considering revision of

Bill to Keep Out Goods
From Russia introduced

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Sena-
tor Tasker L. Oddie, of Nevada, has
introduced bill in the senate to
prohibit importation of soviet goods
into the United States. In state
ment on the measure, Senator Oddie
declared that the soviet foreign trade
monopoly is becoming an increasing
menace to American industry and
trade and by contributing to the low
commodity price levels is delaying
the worlds recovery from the pres
ent depression.

traordinary session and charge them
with the responsibility of finding
sources of revenues which are neces-
sary to provide funds to meet the
terms of legislative bounties.
A program of this sort would mean
increased taxes and obviously a call
for a meeting would not be welcomed.
The plan is simple and feasible. The
President would simply announce that
exigencies required special session
at which time he would submit GER
tain recommendations and leave the
burden up to Congress. Even those
who oppose the plan admit that it
would be good politics and would bring
the subject of Congress and taxes di-
rectly home.
The vanguard Of newcomers to Con-
gress are looking around for living
quarters and office space. They will
take office March and many changes
will be required. The greatest shift
of personnel will be in the House.
Some of the incoming Legislators are
making a private survey of the politi-
cal situation so that they will not be
stampeded by the present leadership
during the caucus when the Senate
and House are organized.

query: Were you not campaigning in
1928 for a man for president who
stood for government ownership Of
waterpower sites, one who favored
municipality owned plants, and who
fights the power trust?" Mr.. Reed
sduirmed, admitted he did but added
that he was fighting principally for
economic justice for the agricultural
Northwest. The bill was recommended
out favorably by the municipal COM
mittee and will later be fought out
on the floor of the House. 1t was an
initial victory for Representative
Stockwell and other sponsors of the
bill.
State Aid to Schools.
Efforts are being made by many
members of the legislature to have
the state pay the school aid in full
and not the 900 or less as was paid
under the Christensen administration.
If this can be accomplished remains
to be seen for naturally the appro-
priations committee is rather tight.
1t was hoped to have increased reve-
nue. receipts through the iron ore
taxa place where big profits are
made and where increased taxes
would not be felt as much as on real
estate-but other sources of revenue
will now have to be looked for, or re-
auctions made in other apppropria-
lions. Prospects are bright for passing
a state income tax but there will be
no revenue from that source this year.
More of the important bills are
gradually emerging from the COM
mittees and the calendar and general
orders, discussed on the floor of the
House, are being enlarged upon, so
it appears that from now on the House
discussions and balloting will. as Rep
resentative Andrew Finstuen of Ken
