Food for Destitute School
Children in Wilmington, Del.

Wilmington, Del-The school au-

school children from hunger, accord
ing to report by S. M. Stouffer,
superintendent of schools. Mr.. Stout
fer pointed out that a considerable
number of school children were un-
able to attend classes because of un-
dernourishment caused by unemploy-

meet this condition plans were evolv-
ed to provide lundheons for these
children. The meals are cooked in
the high school cafeteria and distrib-
uted at convenient centers.
Through the cooperative effort OF
our school authorities and the mayors

been possible to supply food to this
large group of undernourished and
anemic boys and girls whose cry for
food rang in our ears"

BAD CONDITIONS
Still Exist at Boulder Dam,
Union Says

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-.A re-
port by a representative of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers reveals a continuance of
shameless conditions at the great
Boulder Dam project, the Electrical
Workers Journal says in the June
issue.
Since the whitewash report of the
Associated General Contractors, and
since the shocking strike of last sum-
mer. conditions have not improved" !"
the Journal says. "a condition of
virtual censorship, however, has been
set up, and this accounts for the
specious air of noble accomplish
ment."
The Journal quotes the following
paragraphs from the report of the
brotherhood's representative:
Boulder Dam and Las Vegas are
cities with a unique western per-
sonality, where persons of all classes
have come to be shipwrecked, par
TALLY salvaged and then merged with
the rugged atmosphere. Idleness
breeds it's own mental diseases in the
| families of the workers and their So
cial and business relations to each
other. The three vices $50 typical OF
the early gold rush days of Cali
formal, liquor, women and gambling
are highlights in the city of Las
Vegas. There you have the tone Of
the picture created in color by this
great enterprise.
"The common labor is paid so cents
per hour; skilled labor IS cents. A

for room, board and capitalization.

for $40 or $50 per month; light, fuel

ing to statements made to me by
many of the more intelligent workers
the Big Six Companies figure to get
back at least 65 per cent of the
money they pay out in wages. There
are three working shifts on the site
day, swing and night shifts. The diff
ferent crews are subject to layoffs Of
varying duration.
"The very fact that the Big Sia
Companies issues scrip to employees
which is honored only in the com
panies' stores indicates that mar
must struggle here for existence. Al
men, after the tenth day of employ
ment, are compelled to pay $5 pol
tax to the state of Nevada. The Big
Six Companies are not subject to the
laws of Nevada. In other words, the
United States government seems tt
be working hand-in-hand with the Biz

ORGANIZED LABOR
Plans Relief For Illinois
Miners

Springfield, Ill. (ILNS)-The first
union to respond to the appeal of the
Illinois miners for financial help in
their fight against drastic wage cut
was the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen of North
America, with headquarters in Chi
cago Despite the difficult financial
circumstances of the organization, it
donated $500 to help the strikers and
their families.
The Chicago and Illinois Fedora
tions of Labor have pledged support
along with other organizations and
plans are being made to organize
committees and conferences to carry
on systematic campaign for the col
lection of funds, food and clothing.
In a burning appeal to the labor
movement and its friends, the Hi
nois miners relief committee of Dis
trict No. IL, United Mine Workers of
America, called for aid in their fight
that began April l. The termination
of the three-year- contract between
the Illinois Coal Operators Associa-
ton and the Illinois Miners Union
brought forth the demands of opera
tors that the Illinois miners accept a
wage cut of SO per cent. Diametric-
ally opposed to the proposals of the
operators the Illinois miners demand

thousands of miners and their famil-
les be taken as the basis AS result

Trade Union Idleness Increases
For Second Consecutive Month
American Federation of Labor Unemployment Report
Reveals Menacing Situation, President Green Says
Pleading for Vigorous Leadership and Prompt
Action By Congress.

Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Re-
porting that for the second consecu-
tive month this spring trade union un-
employment showed an increase,
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, warn
ed that despair and unrest was grow
ing among the workers, and reiter-
ated labor's demand for prompt gov
ernmental action to cope with the
emergency.
Both April and May normally
bring more jobs with the spring busy
season; but this year unemployment
has increased each month";" Presi-
dent Green said in commenting on
the federation's unemployment report
for May. "This is the first time in
the five years of our reports to show
a rise of unemployment in either
April or May.
''Our weighted figures for March
were 22.5 per cent out of work; in
April, unemployment increased to
228 per cent; in the first part Of
May to 22.9 per cent.
Each rise of one point (one-tenth
per cent? means $4,000 more out of
work. Last year at this time the un-
employed were going back to work in
spite of depression. From March to
May, 1881, 100000 found jobs in in
dustry; this year in the same months
100000 were laid off.
Spirit of Rebellion Grows

emergency, when each week means

listing economic and social order it
failed to make certain adjustments
which were essential to the happiness
and welfare of the people and to the
perpetuation of economic security.
AT most crucial period, industry
failed to plan for the future and to
establish balance between the forces
which produce and consume. We
know now that it is impossible to
maintain economic balance by con-
stantly improving and increasing
production facilities unless, at the
same time, we make adjustments in
the hours of labor, the conditions un-
der which labor is to be performed
and the social changes evolving from
community and urban life.
Industrial Engineers Create
Jobless Army
"Technicians and industrial engi-
neers seemed to have embraced the
theory that it was possible to do mora
with less working units and at the
same time maintain a market suffi-
GENTLY large to consume manufactur-
ed products in full measure. They
have learned this was not true.
Men and women could not be dis
placed, as they were, and craft skill
and training could not be destroyed
as it was (while the industrial revo-
luton was in process) without taking
heavy toll in human values and
without impairing and limiting an al
ready inadequate market.
"The record shows that an erron-
eous and contradictory course was
pursued. Instead of destroying and
curtailing the consuming market,
through the displacement of workers
by machinery and power, the genius
of the technician, the engineer, the
inventor and the scientist should
have been directed toward the ex-
pansion of buying power and the en-
largement of our home market so
that the use of manufactured goods
would more nearly correspond with
our increasing powers of production.
Unemployment Problem
chronological unemployment was
a problem before the crash came. 1t
has become aggravated and intensi-
fed. How are we to absorb the mil
lions of workers who are numbered
among the unemployed? How are we
to establish and maintain steady
flow of manufactured goods from the
point of production to that of alb
sorption?
at is the solution of these eco
nomic problems which calls for the
service of the technician, the engi-
neer, the scientist, the agriculturist
and those persons who have become
trained through practical experience
Wider Distribution of Wealth
"The decided change in economic
thought and in the social viewpoint
of people is being brought about be

ments in modern civilization.

fusion of created wealth. The earn

terprises must be more equitably di

Organized Labor Indorses
Garner Jobless Relief Bill
W. c. flushing, American Federation of Labor Legislative
Representative Tells House Committee the Fedora
ton Gives the Measure It's Complete Support-Says
l5OOOOOO Are Destitute

Washington. - Complete endorse
ment of the $4,000 ,O84,337 unemploy-
ment relief bill introduced by John N.
Garner, speaker of the house of rep
resentatives, was given by the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
The federation's approval was pre-
sented to the house ways and means
committee by w. C. flushing, its leg
islative representative.
The bill calls for an outlay of
$100,000,000 in direct relief, the re-
naming $4,000, 100000 being devoted
to public works of various sorts.
$500, ,0O0,O Direct Relief Asked
Mr.. flushing told the committee
that the American Federation of La
Dor has consistently supported unem-
ployment relief measures before con-
gress. He stated the bill was ma
tional necessity, but expressed the
belief that $1OO,0O0,O00 for direct re-
lief is insufficient to supply the
needs of the destitute, and recon-
mended that the amount be increas-
ed to $6O0,0OO,OO0.
He said there are at least 100000
people entirely without employment
exclusive of the so-called white col
lar class, and that on the basis of two
dependents to each unemployed per-
son the total of the jobless and their
dependents reaches 24,000,000. He
said the A. F. of L. believes that
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-06-10

ton is to be turned into constructive
development and away from open re-
volt and disaster, action must come
quickly.
Urgent measures are now before
congress to provide for public works,
loans to business to start production
and employment, funds for relief.
"The situation brooks no delay. But
even these measures cannot solve
fundamental problems or put millions
to work before the present relief funds
run out.
National Emergency Here
at is time for vigorous leadership
to arouse and organize general CO.
operation and put men to work. We
must shorten the work day and the
work week on a national scale and
create jobs by the million When men
get back to work their buying will
start business upward. 1t is time to
declare national emergency which
makes this and other steps necessary
to check depression"
Summarizing unemployment in the
various trades, President Green said;
"The figures for individual trades
show very slight improvement IN
building trades for the first time
since May a year ago. Any gain is
good news, but this is too small TO
make any noticeable change in the
situation.
"Sixty-two per cent are still out of
work in building. Three other trade
groups show slight gains: Food in
dustries, service and trade, water
transportation. But these small gains
were more than offset by increases in
unemployment in clothing industries,
theatres, manufacturing, railroads,
street transportation, metal trades
and printing"

lock, with $4,000 miners and some
100000 dependents facing great odds.
All funds and supplies should be
sent to the Illinois Miners Relief
Committee, Illinois Mine Workers
Building, Springfield, Ill.
Addressing 5000 members of the
United Mine Workers of America at
Du Quoin, John H. Walker, president
of the Illinois Miners Union, hurled
the challenge that "the miners of
Illinois have won before and they
will win again, in spite of all the
forces that are against us! For many

''The whole struggle SINNERS down
to one basic question at the present
time," said Walker. Don't let US
kid ourselves about it either. If we
are to win we have to stay out longer
than the other fellow"
The veteran labor leader continued
in the course of his speech to give an
analysis of the problems of the Illi-
nois miners, laying special emphasis
of the need of preserving the Illinois
Miners Union.

about 100000 or 100000 of
these people are in need of direct
relief.
35-HOur Week Urged
He pointed out that President Green
of the American Federation of La
Dor, has estimated that if work were
limited to 35 hours week there
would be no unemployment.
Stressing that organized labor has
been trying to impress upon congress
for months the fact that the earn
ings of working people have been re-
duced $11, ,000,000,000 a year, and
that federal relief for the unemploy-
ed was absolutely necessary, he add
ed:
"The only relief has been to big
business and the banks. Nothing has
been done to relieve the unemployed
except to give them a few million
bushels of wheat.
"The Garner bill now gives some
hope. 1t is absolutely necessary that
it be passed. 1t should have been
done long ago"
He also recommended that safe
guards be placed in the bill so as to
assure that the prevailing rate of
wages be paid on all government con-
tract jobs, and to limit the number
of hours of work persons on govern
ment contract jobs can do per week.
Ii this were not done, public works
projects would be pushed through
hastily and increase unemployment.

Manhattan, Kans.-The greatest
social problems that have ever con-
fronted the American people are
those growing out of the stupendous
development of electric power and the
revolutionary introduction of labor
displacing machinery and processes
in recent years, William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, told the Kansas College Of
Agriculture and Applied Science here
in an address on Scientific Develop
ments of Modern Civilization"
Mr. Green pointed out that during
the World War manufacturers and
business men marshalled the forces
of labor, power and machinery into
the greatest army of production in
the history of the world. With the
signing of the armistice these vast
human and mechanical forces were
mustered out of service and the peo-
pie of the nation were brought to
realize the social and economic dam
gers which were bound to follow the
rehabilitation of such an intricate
and complex economic system"
Workers Increase Output
On the development of machine
production and the economic results
following from it since the war, Mr..
Green said, in part:
Influenced by the postwar hys
terra, industrial management contin
ued to facilitate production, to inn
prove mechanical processes, to extend
and enlarge the use of electric
power and to substitute specialized
service for craft skill and craft
training. AS result, each worker
became increasingly efficient and the
power placed at his command was
multiplied, many times. In truth
mechanization increased all over the
world, gathering momentum as 1t
spread over greater geographical
areas.
High Wages Increase Buying Power
at was logical to conclude that
Immediately following the cessation
of the World War the demand for
goods would shrink and the volume of
sales and production would be dras-
tically lowered and sharply eliminat-
ed However, strange and contra
, dictory as it may seem, with the ex-
ception of brief period during 1921
the demand for goods and commodi-
| ties increased This was directly due
to the continued payment of high
wages and the wide distribution of
buying power.
Industrial Structure Collapses
"But the end of this epochal period
came with crash in 1929. The whole
nation was stunned when it became
apparent that the financial and eco
nomic structure of the nation, which
it had been assumed rested upon a
solid foundation, toppled and fell
Immediately values declined, buying
ceased, industries collapsed, mines
and factories were closed, and mil
lions of working men and women
were forced into idleness. The price
| of farm products began to decline
before the collapse came.

processes and new methods to the ex

Shorter Hours Imperative
Enjoyment Of Leisure

The enjoyment of leisure means
the creation of a demand for more
goods. By developing the buying
power of the masses of the people
and by creating opportunities for the
enjoyment and use of manufactured
goods, the consuming market is en-
larged and the sale of goods is in
creased.

with the lowering of the age limit
of those employed in industry has
come social problem, that of car
ing for the aged members of society
who are no longer able to secure
employment because of their age.
"This means that the life earning
period of individuals has been reduc-
ed to such degree that it is impos-
sible for them to accumulate savings
and prepare themselves in an econom-
ic way for the demands of old age.
From this experience has grown a
mighty movement in support of old

annuities and social justice measures
