Cincinnati, Ohio (ILNS-The Meth

unionized in all departments on jan

Modification Certain
AS Lame Ducks Gather
Defeat of Repeal BY Narrow Margin Insures Early Vic
tory Over "Noble Experiment nt''-Relief, Economy Act
and Sales Tax Other Vital Issues in Short Session
Now Under Way.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)--While
prohibition repeal went down to de-
feat in the house on the first day of
the lame duck session of congress,
labor forces and political leaders
alike look for modification before
Christmas.
Defeat of the repeal move was by
a margin so narrow as to assure
early victory. There is possibility
the measure may be revived in the
present session, but whether that is
the case or not it is certain that re-
peal will slide through the new con-
gress by an overwhelming majority.
But modification and repeal are not
the only issues faced by the lame
duckers. They will be confronted with
labor's demands for repeal of the
economy act and for huge appropria-
tions for unemployment relief.
December has brought no fresh dis
couragement in unemployment fig
ures, but it apparently is bringing
little that is bright. The months
figures are not yet available, but ad-
vance estimates indicate that en-
ploymentis on seasonal basis, with

1--WE must determine to preserve
our economic rights Of private own
ership as guaranteed in our national
constitution and affirmed as one of
the principles upon which the union
labor movement is founded" Per-
kins said.
"This is the time to go back again
to following union principles more
than ever before. We must strength
en- the position of the union movement
by insisting that union workers buy
union-made goods and that unions call
to the attention of the public both
principles and products of crafts OF
our organization.
Workers are going to organize. If
arrogant trust owners will not per-
nit labor to organize peacefully, in
the open light of publicity, in trade
unions that stand for equality and
private ownership of property, some
may organize secretly with malice
and resentment in their hearts and
minds.

N. Y. PRINTERS
Wage Cut Ten Per Cent BY
Arbitration

New York City (ILNS)-A cut of
10 per cent in the pay of New York
newspaper printers was ordered by
the umpire in arbitration, John Saul
ter, Indianapolis. Saulter said he
could not conscientiously be party
to maintaining wages at the old rate.
The cut is effective for one year. 1t
represents only half the reduction de-
manded by the publishers. The two
union representatives on the arbitra-
ton board refused to sign the award.
Saulter's decision changes the shift
hours so that day men are to be avail
able for 71a-hour day between 7
a. m. and Z p. M, the old shift hours
having been from a. m. to p. m.
All other shifts are likewise moved
an hour.
On the basis of the award day-shift
men will get $3.50 for six-day
week; night shift, $3.50; third or

Unemployment lndicts

Future Depends Upon Solution Secretary Holds in Report
Says Aliens Will Never Again Find Jobs in IT, S.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Upon
solution of the problem of unemploy-
ment American well-being, now and
in the future, largely depends, Sec
retary of Labor w. N. Doak declares
in his annual report just out.
"These recurring periods Of unem-
ployment seem to me to be an indict-
ment of our civilization" Mr.. Doak
declared. "a new industrial concept
appears to be demanded, one which
will make such times as we have been
passing through impossible or ex-
ceedingly rare in the future. The
wage Garner should be safeguarded,
and whether this will be brought
about by a reduced work-week with
consequent of employment, accom-
panied by some universal system Of
employment insurance, or otherwise,
is an immediate problem, but there
is every reason to believe that the
solving and removal of these recur-
ring cycles of unemployment will not
be impossible to an enlightened and
aroused nation, one which possesses
all the elements and requisites for
the proper support and general we'll
being of its people"

Shorter WOrkWeek Heads List, Which Includes Drastic
Demand for Federal Licensing and for Relief Funds

Cincinnati (ILNS)--With fighting
year ahead, the American Federation
of Labor closed it's Sind convention
here, re-electing all officers.
Thomas F. Burke, secretary, Plumb
ers and Steamftters' international
Association, and Christian M. Mad
sen, painters and decorators, were
elected fraternal delegates to the
British Trade Union Congress, while
James C. Quinn, secretary, New York
Central Labor Council, was elected
fraternal delegate to the Canadian
Trades and Labor Congress.
The next convention will be held In
Washington, D. c., at which time the
magnificent memorial to Samuel
Gompers will be dedicated.
Takes Advanced Stand
President Green declared the con-
vention had built remarkable rec
ord and had taken an advanced stand
on social and economic issues"
Foremost in the achievements OF
the convention was its declaration OF

Strengthen the Unions

"We must build up and strengthen
our unions, or we may find ourselves
wearing a badge of degrading servi-
tude pinned to US by organized wealth
in the place of the proud banner of
industrial freedom secured by our
unions and their union labels.
"We do not object to employers or
ganizing for their own protection. We
hope that they will and that we may
jointly coordinate through voluntar-
lily arbitration to protect the just
rights of both labor and capital.

achievements"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-12-16

President Green made it clear that
he is in deadly earnest about this
campaign. He gave it as his opinion
that steps would be taken at once to
select an organization to lead the
fight, as the carpenters were selected
to lead the famous eight-hour day

fluctuations accounted for not by re-
vival of business, but by seasonal de-
mands.
1t is apparent already that in rela-
iton to modification there will be a
contest over the tax to be levied. La
Dor is standing for tax that will
permit the widest possible sale Of real
beer, yet yield large revenue. Its
position is that the tax must not ex-
ceed Sc barrel, but some congress
sional advocates Of modification for
taxation are working for $3.50 tax,
which would place beer beyond the
reach of most workers.
In addition to these battles there
will be a battle over the sales tax,
with labor opposing any extension of
the sales tax principle, already too
firmly embedded in the taxing struc-
ture.
These are but some of the contests
looming in the first days Of the lame
duck session. That much needed leg
islation will be delayed because of po-
litical maneuvering seems certain,
but labor will crowd for enactment of
as much of it's program as can pos
s,ibly be forced through.

his life, was described before the A.
F. of L. convention by Secretary OF
Labor w. N. Doak in an address deal
ing with immigration, the prevailing
wage law and other labor issues.
The secretary declared that the de.

vision, had sent more than 200 rack.

In his opinion Saulter said:
"The evidence in the record is con-
elusive to the effect that since 1929,
when the last contract between these
parties expired, and the current
month there has been a serious Grip
ping loss of revenue suffered by
newspapers party to these proceed
ings. Despite this condition and de-
spite the fact that the last contract
between these parties expired June
80, 1929, there has been no default in
payment of wages at the 1929 levels.
'In addition to maintenance of 1929
wage levels, the record reveals un-
selfish and beneficial relief, insurance
and pension activities carried on by
certain New York newspapers at
heavy expense to themselves and at
no expense to the members of the
union.
"Few, if any, industries in the
country have maintained for so long
a period the 1929 wage levels"

INJUSTICE
OF Present Order Assailed
BY A. F. of L. Speakers

Cincinnati, Ohio (ILNS)-The ques-
tion arises in the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention whether the
most militant utterances comes from
within the convention, or from with
out.
Guests have come to make speeches
and the speeches have been filled with
resentment against the injustice to
which the workers have been victims
and with declarations that there must
be a better day.
United States Senator James j.
Davis came with an arraignment of
cruel exploitation, with a demand
that the home owner be permitted to
keep his home, that the tax burden
on the workers be lightened, and with
his ringing demand that trade union
ism march onward fighting for the
rights of labor.
