More Wage Slashing

to hold jobs in the manufacturing
industries are earning 40 to as per
cent less than they earned in 1929.
Building trades workers have taken
small official cuts, but in reality
the little work they can get is being
paid for at a fraction of the 1929
rates. Railroad workers and school
teachers have had their wages and
salaries cut. The weekly pay Of
clerks and office workers has been
butchered. Across the whole field
of U. S. A. economy the story is
the same. Through the three recess

MISS IRELAND .
VISITS COUNCIL
State Supervisor of Instruction Makes
Plea for Adequate Funds
for Education.

Miss Elizabeth Ireland, state su-
peryisor of public instruction and a
candidate for reelection, visited the
Council last Tuesday night. At this
time she stated her views as to the
purpose of education and its value in
this day and age. She made a STIR
ring plea for the maintenance of all
educational funds and asked Labor
to do its best to prevent any cur
tailment along such lines. She also
explained the reason for increased
costs in education. The most ex-
pensive type of education is high
school. Ten years ago Montana had
only $4,000 high school pupils. To-
day the state has over 10000 in the
high schools alone. She explained
that education was the biggest bust
ness in Montana, spending some
10 million dollars annually. Such a
business needs reliable management.
Miss Ireland explained some of the
things she accomplished and asked
that Labor give her its support.

Rail Labor Heads Protest
Loan to Railroaders in

an ho%ur-long interview by the Fl
members of the Rail Labor Execu-
tives' Association, Sept. %, when
the labor chiefs went to the White
House to protest against further
federal loans to railroads unless the
roads agree to drop their plan to
cut wages. The association had
unanimously refused to consider the
rail managers suggestion Of a vol
untary" reduction in wages, and they
came to tell Hoover that they ex-
pected the federal government to
use its power as money-lender to
the railroads to maintain a decent
wage standard. White House poll
ticians were shocked at the idea
that workers should claim the first
lien on industrial earnings. The rail
lobby was alarmed, since it saw in

the labor chiefs demand a challenge
to their own doctrine that industries
are made for profits and not for
the people.
Taking advantage of the Admin
istration's own claim that the worst
Of the economic collapse is over, the
rail labor chiefs told Hoover that,
since better times seemed to be COM
ing, a wage cut was a threat to
the return Of good times. They ar
gued that the government could not
be neutral in the presence of such a
threat to business recovery.

in a statement read to Hoover by

policy the government has been ex-

So-called Revival of Bust
ness Ushered in With
Still Further Reductions.

NEW YORK-(F.P.)-Three years
ago, when Hoover, Farrell, Green
and other spokesman for things-as-
they-are, were solemnly pledging
themselves to a no-wage-cut policy,
a former article for Federated Press
pointed out that the bosses would
be compelled to cut wages because
wage cuts were an essential aspect
of capitalist economic policy. Events
have given the lie to the Hoover
Farrell Green pledges. The laws of
capitalist economics are stronger than
any individual politician, business
man or trade union leader.
Wages have been cut to shreds
since October, 1929. The total
amount paid in wages will be less
than half as much in 1882 as it
was in 1929. This reduction is due
to unemployment on the one hand
and to wnge reductions on the other.

SIOUX CITY-(F.P .)-Beginning
at midnight Sept. 20, a strike has
been decreed in the IA midwestern
states which make up the "Bread
Basket of America" as they have

production.
Perishable products will continue
to be sold during that month and
the executive committee of the Ma

has ordered that picketing be stopped
and that the full effort be turned
toward persuading farmers to stop
selling. AT the end of the month,
if their aim has not been achieved
they will stop selling perishables-

DEFEAT SENATOR SMOOT.
PRESIDENT GREEN URGES
A. F. of L. Head Asks Utah Organized Labor to
Elect Thomas-Smoot's Senate Record Held
Unfavorable to Workers-Supported Yellow
Dog Contract and Voted for the Sales Tax.

WASHINGTON-William Green,
President of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in a communication
addressed to the organized labor
movement of Utah, urged the trade
unionists of hat State to mobilize
all their strength to defeat Reed
Smoot for reelection to the United
States Senate and choose Elber D.
Thomas to take his place.
Mr.. Green gave a tabloid picture
of Senator Shoots persistent oppo-
sition to labor legislation and de-
clared that his record was so OBJ
jectionable from labor's point of
view that it warranted his defeat.
"In the pursuit of its n%on-partisan
political policy" Mr.. Green's state
ment said, "the American Fedora
ton of Labor is urging its member
ship and its friends to vote for those
members of Congress who have
shown themselves to be sympathetic
and friendly toward the legislative
proposals and the principles and
policies Of organized labor.
Because of this fact, the cleo
ton of a United States Senator and
members of Congress in the State
of Utah is a matter of deep con
cern and of great interest to labor
and its friends throughout the Ma
ton.
Opposed Labor Legislation.
Senator Reed Smoot is a can
didate for reelection to the United
States Senate in Utah.
HE has represented this State in
the United States Senate since 1908.
During all this period he refused to
respond to the appeals made by labor
representatives to support legislation
approved and supported by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
"His record as United States Sem
ator is most u~nfavorable to labor.
Twenty times he voted against leg
i~slation supported by labor. He has
only sixteen favorable votes to his
credit.
Supported Yellow-DOg Judge.
"As a climax to his legislative
record which labor regards as highly
unfavorable, he voted for the con
firmation of the appointment of

pealed to him to vote against the

Norman Thomas was born in that
state that has given more presidents
to this land than any other, Ohio.
He is still a young man, being only
AZ years of age. He educated him
self at Princeton university and
Union Seminary in New York City.
After his graduation he became pas
tor of the largest working class
church in New York City. During
the World war he refused to use his
pulpit as a recruiting station. AS
the church was more patriotic than
Christian at that time, Thomas left
the ministry and began his activities
in the Labor movement. Since that
time he has been nominated by the
Socialist party for every office from
congressman to pres dent, being nom
mated for the highest office in 1928.
Enemy of Power Trust.
Norman Thomas is the executive
director of the League for Industrial

strongest foe of the power trust next
to the Socialist party. He also head

HUR[EYS ATTACK
ON ROOSEVELT HIT
State Laws Against Fraudu-

Attorney General.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y. August 29.-Secre-
tary of War Patrick Hurley's charge az
Providence that Gov. Roosevelt had not
enforced New York laws controlling
security sales yesterday drew from
Attorney General John j. Bennett the
reply that the laws were being enforced
strictly, although, he said. Gov. Roose-
welt had nothing to do with enforce
ment. That, he said, was invested
solely in his own department.
The attorney general said Secretary
Hurley ESSAYS to speak abcut the law
of New York regarding the fraudulent
sales of securities without knowing that
law"
Bennett cited 795 injunctions against
fraudulent security sales secured last
year by his department in support of
his claim that the law was being en-
forced. He said his predecessor, Hamil-
ton Ward, Republican, had obtained 343
injuncticnS in 1929 and 629 in 1880
He said Gov. Roosevelt had signed
amendments to the law which permitted
the obtaining of temporary injunctions
against fraudulent stock sales without
giving notice Of the action; which en-
abled the attorney general to enjoin
promoters of fraudulent stock from
selling any securities, and which gave
the attorney general the right to pro-
ceed against promoters before they had
the opportunity to sell fraudulent stock.
IF Secretary Hurley had taken the
trouble" to find out, Bennett said, he
would have been informed that Attor-
ney General Ward and I have been
regarded as relentless fees of the fraud
ulent stock promoter.
