A EMPLOYEES
SPIKE VICIOUS
RUMOR

A vicious rumor is being circulated
by the management of the Fox Thea
ters, according to reports coming to
the Montana Labor News, to the eff
feet that the Musicians and Stage En-
ployes are entirely to blame for the
lack of stage shows in the City of
Butte. The rumor further states
that these two unions are so severe in
their demands to the management that
it is impossible to make stage shows
pay in this city. The editor has in
vestigated these rumors and the fol-
lowing are the facts.
Butte is the only city Of any size
on the Fox Circuit in the State of
Montana, without regular stage
shows. The shows have been kept out
of Butte because the management
hoped to force the union in Butte to
make concessions that would have en-
tirely destroyed working conditions in
the craft, not only in Butte but
throughout the country. Finally the
Stage Employees and the Musicians
were approached by the management
asking concessions for a four-weeks
trial period, stating that four shows
were booked for Butte. The unions
made the following concessions, be-
lieving that four shows were to be
booked in Butte: The Stage Employ
es removed their five-day clause for
the four-week period, working on a
spot-booking basis, i. e., being paid
for the performances worked and al
so reduced the number of stage hands
by one man. The musicians also
waived their five-day clause and used
a seven-piece orchestra instead of the
fourteen-piece required in a theater of
that size. The two unions gave the
management every concession asked
for and did all in their power to CO.
operate in order that the people of
Butte might enjoy good stage produc-
tions.
Instead of four shows being book
ed for Butte the management had
only two shows booked, both of them
amateurish productions. Despite the
quality of the shows, one filled the

fight to prevent such organizations
from representing labor in any field,
and the Labor Advisory Board headed
by Frances Perkins obviously work
ing in the closest collaboration with
organized labor. The employers, on
the other hand, especially those in the
great unorganized industries, will
never willingly permit free union &C.
tivities in their domain, much less en-
gage in collective bargaining with
"outside" unions. We look for a bat
tie over this issue, and the outcome
will do more to clarity the real aims
and attitude of the powers that con-
troll the administration of the new in
dustrial-control law than could any
number of official pronouncements.

NRACONFLICTS
MERELY CLASS
STRUGGLE
Editor of Nation Sees Right
to Organize as Big Issue in
N. r. A. Codes; Wages and
Hours Are Considered Sec
ondary.

Not all the brisk talk about team
work and cooperation is going to OBJ
scure for long the fundamental con-
flict inherent in the administration of
the Industrial Recovery Act. That
conflict is none other than our old
friend the class struggle. Sharper
and clearer the issue is being drawn.
On one side is labor, glimpsing an OPP
p~ortunity to re-establish the power of
the unions, to bargain collectively, to
salt away gains in wages and hours
labor, not revolutionary but very des-
perate, hungry after lean years during
which unemployment has drained its
membership and its treasures. On
the other side are the employers, lean
and hungry too, in many cases; eager
for rescue from failure or dwindling
reserves but unwilling to share ever
the hope of profits with their old
enemy, organized labor. This des-
cription, we know, draws the line too
sharply. Many employers are pre-
pared to recognize the union and pay
a living wage, if they can also be Of
fered the chance of profits. But the
division is there, and we predict that
it will grow wider as the public hear
ings on the various industrial codes
begin to bring out into the open the
elements of conflict. Hugh S. John
son, in his effective radio talk explain
ing the methods and purposes of the
recovery act, insisted upon the neces-
sity of a minimum wage and reduced
hours. In answer to the imaginary
question: "What should be the short
er week and what should be the min
imum wage?" he advocated, "undeI
present conditions and as far as the
lowest-priced class of workers are con-
cerned, an average of about thirty
two hours a week at not less than for
ty-five cents an hour" 1t is note
worthy that the newspapers which re-
ported his speech printed in another
column the text Of the code drafted
for the retail drygoods stores of the
country proposing a minimum wage
ranging from $40 to $12 for women
workers and from $12 to $1S for men
The women, presumably the lowest
priced elias of workers." would thu
receive from $2.40 to $40 a week
less than the least suggested by the
federal administrator.
But wages and hours are secondary
sources of conflict. The primary diff.
ficulty will certainly arise wei the
question of forcing employers to rec,
ognize and deal with independent un.
ions. So far Mr.. johnson has dodget
this issue; he has merely repeated the
provision of the law that industrial
codes must contain a covenant to rec.
ognize collective bargaining and MOI
to require men to join a company I'm.
ion as a condition of employment
This would seem to outlaw those com
pany unions now being hastily anC
c%oercively set up, according to reports
in the coal fields and steel mills. Blu
it does not reveal the administration
attitude toward company unions al
ready established. Labor leaders hav,
vociferously announced that they will

(From Common sense")


Labor is rising to meet the chal-
lenge of the Recovery Act. A wave
of strikes has been sweeping from
one end of the country to the other,
as labor feels the new power Of Or
~ganizatiOn. SweatshOp conditions,
unfair codes, rising prices without
prOpOrtiOnate rise in wages, denial
of the right of free uniOnizatiOn-
these are the chief points of attack.
*&*
On July 3, 10000 clothing trade
workers walked out in New York and
5000 in Philadelphia. They were led
by the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers in a move to increase wages and
eliminate sweatshop conditions. On
the 18th, pickets and strike -breakers
FLASHED in Baltimore where the same
organization vas struggling to union
ize.. About this time the Philco Radio
workers won a strike in Philadelphia.
In Reading, Pa, $4,000 hosiery work.
ers struck closing all the mills. On
the 18th, the drawing up of the en-
ployers' silk code was marked by
strikes in Philadelphia. Three hun
bred sound technicians walked out in
Hollywood, taking thousands of other
organized motion-picture workers with
them in sympathetic strikes. The bar
bers in San Francisco and many in
New York struck on the same day.
Many newly organized branches of the
United Mine Workers are out on strike
near Pittsburgh. On the 9th, $500
dyers went on strike in Patterson, N.
j., and the upstate milk farmers of
New York threatened a milk-strike
for a higher percentage of the retail
prices. On August l, Patterson silk
workers are scheduled to walk out in
protest against the code which does
not give them a living wage. On July
29th, Governor Pinchot put the mines
where 10000 workers are on strike
under army rule.
These strikes are only an outward
manifestation of the tremendous in
centive to organize which has beer
given to labor under the N. R. A. The
A. F. of L. has started an intensive
drive to set up its own unions even
in those hitherto impregnable open
shops: the steel mills and automobile
plants.
Over a million union members are
now enrolled in New York City alone
and 100000 in New Jersey. If 5,OOO,-
900 are organized, as is expected, by
the end Of the summer, the potential
in the c~ountry's history.
Certain of the radicals are crying
power of labor will be unprecedented
out at this point against the power
which is now going to conservative la
Dor groups. The important thing il
not now where the power is going, but
that labor is for the first time in many

to organize at all. Organization meal
