Public Works Bond Issue
Favored to Make Jobs

Little Rock, Ark.-The Engineers
Club of Little Rock adopted resolu-
ton favoring a 100000 municipal
bond improvement issue to provide
work for the unemployed.
w. A. Rooksbery, state labor COM
missioner, approved the bond issue.
"All the plans that have been put
into effect so far" he said, shave been
to help the credit situation. There
have been no plans initiated that will
actually put men to work"
In addition to the local bond issue,
Commissioner Rooksbery favored fed
eral funds large enough to put five
million idle to work He said that the
system Of individual contributions for
charity relief has proven unfair, for
the reason that many of the rich but
selfish will not contribute their share,
and the relief work is now left to
those who cannot afford to give.
Mr.. Rooksbery said that there are
$4,000 unemployed in Arkansas, with
an annual wages loss of SCI, 600, 900.

LAME DUCK" BILL
Now On the Way to States
For Ratification

Washington, D. C. ULNS)-With
the approval by the senate of the con-
ference report on the Norris "lame
duck" amendment, a new constitu-
tional amendment will be put before
the states for ratification. The
amendment is supported by organic
ed labor.
The proposal to abolish the 'lame
duck" session of congress, introduced
by Senator George w. Norris, OF
Nebraska, received the senate's fnal
approval on March 2 by vote oil
73 to 3, and was sent to the state
department for submission to the
states. 1t must be ratified by the re.
quired Sc states within seven years.
Action on the amendment marked
victory in nine-year struggle during
which it passed the senate six times
previously. 1t was blocked regularly
however, by the insistence of the
house upon a definite adjournment
date for congress.
The measure eliminates the "shor,
session" of congress extending from
the first Monday in December until
March d, and establishes sessions OF
indeterminate length to begin each
January 8.
At present "lame ducks'-members
of congress defeated for reelection
in November-may continue to legis-
late throughout the short session.
Under the amendment members
would take up their duties on January
3-two months after their election
instead of waiting 13 months until
the following December.
Terms of the president and vice
president would begin on January &c
instead of March d.

Norris Anti-Injuncton Bill
Passes in Senate By Big Vote
New York Spend $4,000
Per Day for Home Relief

New York-New York City is
spending $4,000 day on home re-
lief for more than 10000 persons out
of $4,000 who have applied for help,
Mary L. Gibbons, director of Public
Welfare declared.
Miss Gibbons stated that the city
had spent $1,500,O00 on relief of the
needy in their homes. This is apart
from the amount spent for work relief
as home relief goes for food fuel,
medical service, rent and light.
"Our investigation shows that foul
out Of five who register need assist
ance," she said Zone of the most re-
markable things disclosed is the fact
that so per cent of the applicants in
New York City at this time have
never previously been known to any
social service agency.

Big Victory Won in Labor's Fight to Curb Courts
Overwhelming Majority of Upper House Approves Bill
Limiting Injunctive Process and Outlawng "Yel-
low Dog"

Declare the right of labor to or
ganize.
Declare the "yellow dog" contract
contrary to public policy and outlaw
it by making it unenforceable in fed
eral courts.
Strictly limit the grounds on which
labor injunctions would be issued, for
bidding them except after open hear
ing, after unlawful acts had been
committed, unless complainant had no
adequate remedy at law, unless pub
lie officers fail to furnish adequate
protection, and unless the employer
had made every reasonable effort to
settle the dispute.
Provide for jury trials in all con-
tempt cases except those committed
in the presence of the court or so
near as to interfere with the admin
istration of justice.
Give defendants in contempt cases
arising from attacks on the character
or conduct of the judge the right TO
demand retirement of the sitting
judge and hearing Of the case by an
other.
In addition to its labor clauses the
bill carries provision to protect the
freedom of the press by authorizing
jury trials and transfer of judges in
cases of contempt of court.
The bills statement of policy is as
follows:
whereas, under prevailing eco
nomic conditions, developed with the
aid Of governmental authority for
owners of property to organize in the
corporate and other forms of owner
ship association, the individual unor-
ganized worker is commonly helpless
to exercise actual liberty of contract
and to protect his freedom of labor,
and thereby to obtain acceptable
terms and conditions of employment.
"Wherefor, though he should be
free to decline to associate with his
fellows, it is necessary that he have
full freedom of association, self-or-
ganization and designation of repre-
sentatives of his own choosing, to
negotiate the terms and conditions Of
his employment, and that he shall be
free from the interference, restraint,
or coercion of employers of labor, or
their agents, in the designation of
such representatives or in self-organ-
ization or in other concerted activities
for the purpose of collective bargain
ing or other mutual aid or protec-
ton; therefore the following defni-
tions Of, and limitations upon the
jurisdiction and authority of the
courts of the United States are hereby
enacted"

Campaign For Million Jobs
Makes Dent in Depression
Labor Bending Every Effort to Aid Great Drive Which
Has Spread to All Sections of Nation

throughout the country that the truck
growers at Morehead City, N. c., have
put 900 men to work harvesting the
crop.
Drive BOOms Public Work
The drive, also, has brought about
an increase in public work, especially
road building, which has taken on
new Importance in from II to 20
states. In agricultural sections, as
spring work approaches, hiring of
farm labor has helped to take the
slack out of employment in many
sections.
In II communities reporting to
headquarters almost $11,000,000 has
been pledged to pay wages of labor
for "made" work.
Chairman Woll, of the labor divi-
sion, said he was gratified at the
showing made by organized labor and
believed that the million mark in jobs
found for the unemployed will be ex-
ceeded before the drive is over.

REGISTRATION
OF Aliens Bills Scored As
Danger to All

New York City (ILNS)-Efforts
to enact legislation providing for
registration of aliens, either compul-
sorry or voluntary, were attacked in
protest addressed by the American
Civil Liberties Union to the house
committee on immigration and ma
turalization. Chief objections voiced
against registration of aliens are that
it would lead eventually to registra-
tion of all citizens; would set up
vast system of espionage; subject
100000 aliens to harrassment, in
timidation, and even to blackmail;
would furnish a weapon to employers
opposing organized labor, and would
add to lawlessness and law evasion.
The attack was aimed specifically
at three bills before the committee.
H. R. 7436, introduced by Representa-
tive David Hogg, of Indiana, calls for
registration of aliens and certificates
of identification; FL. R. 5093 by Rep
resentative John L. Cable, of Ohio,
provides for issuance of annual GER
tiicates of residence to aliens law
fully in the United States, and H. R.
7790, also by Mr.. Gable, is a ''volun-
tary" registration bill which author
ICES and directs" the secretary of la
Dor to issue such certificates.

The campaign is under the direction
of the American Legion, American
Federation of Labor, Association of
National Advertisers and the Legion
Auxiliary.
With activities grouped around To-
cal labor unions and American Legion
posts, the campaign has rapidly
spread until it encompasses the whole
country. Reports have been received
from az states of the Union telling
of job-finding activities. Central La
Dor Unions from hundreds Of indus
trial centers in reports to Matthew
Woll, chairman Of the labor division,
show that organized labor is bending
every effort in its cooperation to help
break the depression which has 80
long gripped the nation.
Industrial Plants Reopen
The Ford Motor Company is re-
ported as having put 1,700 men to
work in Minneapolis, 400 in st. Louis
and 400 in Hamilton, O. The Laugh

work. In several other trades unem-
ployment is still very high; musi-
clans, 49 per cent; water transport,
AZ per cent; manufacturing, 43 per
cent.
Although slight spring pickup
in some trades is already evident, it
is not likely to improve the situation
very much, according to business
forecasters. The largest improve
ment thus far is in clothing and tex
tiles, where 26 per cent Of those out
in January went back to part-tilne
work at least in the first part Of
February.
"The report for cities this month
shows unemployment slightly less in
13 and worse in nine; no change in
two.
Part Time Work Increases
"It is significant that in every
trade group where employment has
improved this month, part-time work
has increased. This indicates that
many of those who went back to their
job found only part-time work await
ing them.
"Since there is not enough work to
go around, jobs must be created by
sharing work. Apparently this is be-
ing done to somewhat greater ex-
tent, for part-time work increased in
II of our IA trade groups, and the
general average for the country rose
from 19 per cent on part time in JAN
uary to 20 per cent in February"

GREAT JOB DRIVE
Offers Real Hope For Busi'
ness Recovery
By CARL BYOIR
Director Of Organization, United
Action for Employment, War
Against Depression

Against Depression
Because all America is UNITED in
this campaign for employment anG
because it substitutes self-help in
stead of charity or paternalism, this
united campaign for employment
differs from every other rehabilita-
tion effort and offers real hope, not
only to the millions of unemployed
but to the nation as start toward
business recovery.
If so men are hired in Manitowoc
Wis, or Miami, Fla, it is not mat
ter of any great significance, provid-
ing nothing else is happening. But
when so men are hired in Manitowoc
while that city is part of a national
picture, then that matter of SO mel
hired becomes one of tremendous sig
nificance as specimen of what is be-
ing done everywhere.
In this movement we have some
thing essentially new. We have
UNITED ACTION for common
purpose. There is nothing national
to be achieved by asking one en-
ployer or one dozen or one hundred
employers, to employ an additional
hundred men. That has been long
since done, while unemployment totals
continued to rise.
But in this united action campaign
million employers are asked to III
the same thing at the same time for
a common purpose. When the en-
ployment trend is definitely upward
some of the 41,OO0,OO0 who still have
employment will begin to feel the
assurance of continued employment
and will begin to spend normally, and
it is this normal spending which will
create employment for other mil.
lions.
Furnished Through International
Labor News Service
Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Auto-
mobile production in the United States
expanded to 33,764 cars in the week
ended February 20. The expansion
has been going forward steadily
since November, when production was
at an all-time low ranging from
seven to nine thousand vehicles
weekly.
The industry is encouraged by the
advance, although the present produc-
ton rate is only about one-third OF
what is needed to keep the factories
moderately busy. In April, 1881, pro-
duction averaged about $4,000 units
weekly, while in previous years it rar
well over 100000 cars week. A re-
vival of motor car manufacturing
would bring increased activity and
employment to more than dozer
other lines such as steel, textiles
rubber and lumber.
The announcement that the Fore
Motor Co. will begin showing it's new
eight-cylinder model soon was greeted
with enthusiasm by the ntire indus
try, including the Ford competitors
The latter assume that many persons
who re ready to buy light cars have
been delaying to see what Ford woule
offer. The debut of the new Fore
car will afford basis for compari.
son that, it is believed, will stimulate
buying.

| washington, ID. 4. (lLNS)--Organ
lied labor's long fight against the in
junction scored a decisive victory in
the senate on March /, when the Nor
ris bill to curb the use of the injunc-
tion in labor disputes and outlaw the
hated yellow dog" contract was
passed by vote Of rs to 5. An iden-
tical bill, introduced by Representa-
| tive La Guardia, of New York, was
promptly approved by unanimous vote
of the house judiciary committee, and
is slated for early consideration in
the house.
The final vote on the Norris bill
came after more than a week of de-
bate, during which the labor injunc-
| tion was denounced in unsparing
terms as the enemy of liberty and
enslaver of the w orker. With the ex-
ception of very few, the senate
membership was recorded against the
injunction, either by vote or by ex-
preston Of opinion during the debate
The five votes against the bill were
all cast by New Englanders, as fol-
lows: Bingham, of Connecticut; Mos
es and Keyes, Of New Hampshire;
Austin, Of Vermont, and Hall, of
Maine.
Efforts to Weaken Bill Fail
Efforts to weaken the bill By
| amendment failed and the few amend
ments adopted were acceptable to the
sponsors of the measure. Before the
vote, Senator Norris, of Nebraska,
leader of the fight for the bill, ex-
planned that the amendments which
had been accepted had not altered the
principles laid down by the majority
of the committee on judiciary which
framed it.
Shortly before the final vote, Sen
ator Reed, of Pennylvania, announc-
ed he was voting for the bill with a
good deal of shame" because of the
condition in which it leaves the SEN
ate" Declaring his firm opposition
to the use of the injunction in labor
! disputes, he said he felt some pro.
visions of the bill would take away
from labor more rights than the
measure protected He added that be-
cause of his hope that the house would
change provisions to which he OBJ.
jected, he would vote for the bill.
Johnson Answers Reed
Senator Johnson, of California
promptly replied to Reed, declaring
that he did not propose that the last
word said on the bill should be "a
word of shame" and that he was
voting for the measure with "a feel
ing of pride and exultation."
"At last" he said, 1--WE have seer
the day in the congress of the United
States when congress dare legislate
against federal injunctions outrage
ously and infamously issued against
working people"
Senator Hebert, Of Rhode Island
who sponsored substitute bill which
the senate rejected, announced he
would vote for the Norris bill, saying
his vote would be justified "if we car
prevent the issuance of offensive
forms of injunctions."
Provisions of Bill
Summarized, labor provisions Of
! the Norris bill are:

President Green Warns
Hours Cut Is Imperative
Work Adjustment Seen Only Way to Provide Jobs
No Change in Unemployment Situation in February,
A. F. of L. Chief Reports

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-The
| nation must look ahead to a long
period of high unemployment unless
hours of work are reduced, President
William Green, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, warned in making
public the federation's February re-
port on trade union unemployment.
"The only fundamental solution of
unemployment is to shorten working
hours Since there is not enough
work to go around, jobs must be
created by sharing work." President
Green declared. More than 100000
persons are now living below mini
mum standards of health, he said.
A large part of the present short
age of jobs is due to the displacement
of men by machines and modern eff
cheney methods, Mr.. Green said. He
estimated that 100000 workers are
still idle. This is identical with the
federation's unemployment estimate
for January.
Million Jobs Lost
During the decade from 1919 70
1929, 100000 jobs were lost, and in
the present depression, efficiency
measures have eliminated even more"
Mr. Green said in his statement. cat
present our conservative estimate
shows that there actually are no
more than 35 hours of work a week
for each wage Garner if all who want
to work are to have jobs.
"The only fundamental solution
of unemployment is to shorten
working hours From now on we
must look ahead to long period
of high unemployment unless
hours of work are adjusted.
February brought no general
change in the unemployment situa-
ton. Although employment improved
little seasonally in few industries,
this was offset by lay-offs on farms,
where several thousand lost their jobs
in February.
100000 Still Jobless
According to our estimate, the
number out of work at the first of
February was the same as in Janu-
ary-8,300,000.
"Our weighted figures show 23.0
per cent out of work in industry at
the first of February, compared to
23.1 per cent in January.
Because millions of wage earners
have been unemployed for very long
time and their resources are ex-
hausted, the number dependent on re-
lief is increasing daily.
"It will keep on increasing long
after the spring season brings slight
increase in employment. Owing to un-
employment, part-time work and
wage cuts, we estimate that over
40,000,000 persons are now living be-
low the minimum standard for health.
