PAY CUTS
Mean Injury to All, Is
Green's Warning

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Labor
is convinced that it is serving the
best interests of the nation in oppos-
ing wage cuts, President William
Green, of the American Federation of
Labor, declared in inaugurating the
first of series of nationwide broad
casts to be given Sundays on Build
ers of America-An Epic of American
Labor" Mr.. Green's subject was
"Labor's Contribution to American
Civilization"
"Today the organized labor move
ment of the United States is fighting
to maintain American standards of
living, to establish humane conditions
of employment and to protect human
values" Mr.. Green said.
"The events of the last few weeks, >
he continued, "have brought us to q
keen realization of how easy it is tc
destroy standards of life and living
which have been established through
years of struggle and effort.
Living Standards in Peril

civilization. 1t bids US hold fast to
the tents and precepts upon which our
civilization is based so that we may
go forward, building and creating
higher and more cultured form of
civilization for the benefit of the hsl-
man race"
Sketching the contribution of labor
to American life and civilization, Mr. Mr..
Green said that in the founding of
the republic, the Importance and value
of labor to the safety of human life
transcended all other considerations.
LabOr's Leadership Outlined
ut was because labor served" he
said, directing it's energies in an in
telligent manner and in accordance
with the necessity of each changing
period that American civilization has
been made possible"
Mr.. Green said that the full con-
tribution which labor has made to
civilization cannot be measured by the
physical and skilled service which it
has rendered. Through organization
and collective action it has partici-
pated in the spiritual, intellectual and
educational growth of the nation" he
pointed out, adding:
Labor has let in the advocacy of
social and economic reforms. 1t has
urged the acceptance of its high wage
philosophy in order to establish bal
ance in the production and use of
manufactured goods and as essential
to the preservation of the American
standards of living The whole
record which labor has collectively
made in the advancement and pro-
motion of human betterment, social
welfare and economic advancement
has been in the interest of pro-
gressive civilization"
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1932-05-13

believe that the highest and best in
terests of the nation will be served
through the imposition of wage reduc-
tions and the lowering of living
standards. Labor resists and opposes
the pursuit of such policy. 1t is con-
vinced that injury to all is bound to
follow the destruction of the buying
and consuming power of the masses
of the people In fighting to preserve
humane American living standards
we are fighting for the protection OF
all that is best in our social and COM
munity life, for decent homes, for the
exercise of the right to work and for
the creation and maintenance of op-
portunities for breadwinners ano
wage earners to discharge their obii-
cation to their families and THEN

A PAUL REVERE
NEEDED

Some leaders in the country
Are sounding a real alarm,
About the gangsters and their rackets
They are doing us great harm.
But the warnings seem to be in vain
No listening ears are lent
Corruption's sway goes marching OF
To get loot, is it's intent.
The gangsters' means of getting it
Vary, according to need;
And the condition now facing US
We had better wisely heed.
Some day we may awaken
To the facts, but then too late
The country may struggle,
But suffer a dire fate.
This country is called prosperous,
In fact, it's wealthy gout-
But the way of the gangster is
Once in, there's no way out.
These human lice would ruin
Everything within their reach
The government and people
They are a social leech.

"A body believed to be that OF an ex-
plorer from the United States was
found by Nascopie Indians in June on
the banks of Georges River, Labrador,

No details of the discovery were
available
Belief was expressed here last night
that the body was that of either Her.

Both the Americans were from New
Jersey, Kohler from Orange and Connell
from Glen Ridge.
They entered the KokoSoak River at
Chino on Ungava Bay, travelling by
canoe up to its source, which took
them in a southerly direction into the
interior of the peninsula. They were
accompanied by Jim Martin, veteran
Canadian northland traveller, who knew
the country.
Their intention was to swing to the
east, travelling the numerous streams
and lakes to Northwest River at the
head of Hamilton inlet on the Labra-
dor coast. From that point they could
be picked up by regular coastal YES
sci and taken to Newfoundland and
thence to their homes.

For several months no news Of them
was heard. but this caused little anxiety
because of the nature of the country.
Then, on February Is, a message
nearly five months old, carried over
Labrador by Indians, dog team mail
and radio, reached st. Johns. 1t was
from Richard White and read:
"Kohler. Connell and Martin have
not arrived yet. I have met some In
