Prof. Lovett Arrested
For Upholding Pickets
WelknOwn University of Chicago Faculty Member
Spends Hour in Cell After Demanding Strikers
Rights.

Chicago (ILNS)-While upholding
the right of workers in an apron fac
tory to picket, Prof. Robert Morss
Lovett, well-known author and lee
turer and member of the faculty of
the University of Chicago, was ar
rested and spent an hour in a cell.
He was released under $25 bond on
a disorderly conduct charge.
The apron factory employees struck
against wages that Prov. Lovett de-
clared were as low as So for fifty
two-hour week Most Of the workers
were women, many of them Negroes.
Lovett went to the scene of the strike,
the B. Soppin & Sons factory, on
hearing reports that "police were
brutal to strikers who were exercis-
ing their constitutional rights by
picketing the plant"

DOMESTIC
Industry Revives in Canada

Ottawa.-Retreat to the peasant
economy and domestic industry is re-
ported all over Canada. In small
towns there has been a great deal
of individual planting this spring, and
people are reverting to the keeping
of milch cows, hogs, hens and ducks
for family consumption.
Spinning wheels are in widespread
use, and the women are making home
spun underwear, tallow candles, soft
soap, etc. A reaction to the tax on
sugar is domestic extraction of syrup
from beets.
This revival of old methods does
not make for efficiency. This winter
the regular farmers will sell relative
~ less produce in the home market,
and the railways will have less do
mestic hauling. And the farmer and
transport workers will have less to
spend on the products of urban in
dustries.
Thus the retreat tends to tighten
the moose that is strangling industry
within the last economy.

Trade UniOnists Boycott
German Goods

Amsterdam.-The Dutch National
Trade Union Center and the Dutch
socialist party have decided to organ
ize boycott of German goods. They
justify their decision on the ground
that those in power in Germany fear
nothing SO much as boycott, and it
is the only available weapon against
them. 1t is thought that it will be
possible to make the boycott a very
thorough one. The executives of the
two bodies will set up an office to in
form the public as to what goods
come from Germany, as especially in
the case of semi-manufactured goods,
it is not always easy for the con-
sumer to ascertain the facts. In taking
this action, it is fully realized that
the German government may take
counter measures, but this is a risk
which the Dutch labor movement is
determined to run in view Of the great
moral significance of the action. 1t is
expected that thousands outside the
ranks of labor will follow suit, de-
spite the financial sacrifices which
may well be involved

Reading, Pa, (ILNS)-The Reading
hosiery workers strike spread with
walk-outs taking place in three ad-

demanded the right to be represent

Grafton of Full Fashioned Hosiery
Workers. The Womelsdorf plant of
the Holde & Horst Company and the

crippled by walk-outs. The d. S. &

The number now out probably
amounts to $500 workers, according
to estimates by Edward F. Gallaghan,
strike leader. A general shutdown
of all hosiery plants in Reading is
seen as possibility.

establish a company union in the
Nolde and Horst mill, second largest
in the industry, proved boomerang
to the company according to state

By Staff Correspondent

by Stan correspondent
Washington, d. C. (ILNS)-Two
great developments moved along side
by side here this week to give addi-
tional form to the picture of the New
Deal.
These were:
Recovery administration hearings on
the cotton textile code.
Senate stock market investigation
hearings, with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Off
GERS under fire.
The stock market quiz laid out more
pieces Of the jig saw puzzle repre-
senting the dirty past.
The recovery act hearing drew back
the curtain a little further for the
look into the future.
The Kuhn, Loeb testimony showed
that the big private bankers had the
field carved up, each house taking it's
own and leaving the others alone to
their pickings. The railroads of the
nation, in particular, were allotted,
bank by bank, road by road, down
the line. Again there was the story
of no income tax payment, or ridicu-
lously small ones.
But over in the great new COM
merce building Administrator John
son and Deputy Administrator Allen
sat at big table and called forth
the secrets of the textile industry,
for all the world like a couple of
commissars.
At one great sweep, shorn of the
drama which seemed to belong there,
child labor went out of America s
textile mills.
Since Charles Dickens pilloried the
early factories of England, writing
into the literature of all time his
great pictures of the child victims of
greed, the struggle has gone on and
on When factories came to America
children went into them. Particularly
they went into the cotton mills-and
they have remained there.
But some time in July the last child
will walk out of American cotton
mills. Sixteen years will be the age
limit
Under hot fire from labor and from
the administration itself, the mill
| owners walked up and volunteered to
write child labor out Of the mills. 1t
was a graceful gesture and one which
might have been made long ago but
for the greed of a minority of mill
owners. Similarly women in all prob
ability will be removed from all night
shifts. So, this great industry is in
the throes of genuine revolution of
| method and aim.
Hearing Sets Pace
The tremendous Importance of this
hearing is that it sets a pace, lays out
a course, offers something of guide
as to what is in store all along the
industrial front. The giant steel in
dustry, the great oil industry, with
its Rockefeller past, the apparel in
dustries-these and many, many 9TH
ers are going to come marching up
to this new bar to have Judgment
passed.
The Cotton Textile Institute did the
job of getting the mill owners to-
gether. Speaking through commit

covery act. In fact strikes are, per-
haps, being generated by it as a
means of forcing concessions before
the law clamps down. Five thousand
pocketbook makers are out for 40
hour week to replace the 44-hour rule
now in effect and for minimum wages
Of $36.75 week. Leather workers,
1900 of them, are out, demanding 40
hours and a $50 minimum wage.

Labor Wins Big Advantages
In Hearing on Code
Night Work for Women Appears DOOmed-HOurs to Be
Drastically Reduced, Wages Raised, Under Rules
Under Recovery Act

!, tee they offered code of fair prac-
tice, fixing 40 hours as the work
week limit, with minimum wage of
$40 in the South and $11 in the North.
These were substantial changes from
past practices. At once the South's
hideous 60-hour week went into the
discard. But labor came with evidence
that these concessions were not
enough.
The United Textile Workers, lead
ing the attack for labor, because it is
the union of the industry, demanded
that the work week limit be 35 hours
and the minimum wage $14. Realiz-
ing the vast Importance of the hour,
the union had retained Chester M.
Wright and associates, an organiza-
ton formed for recovery act practice
in all divisions, including John A.
Beck as legal counsel and Leslie L.
Frey, M. E., as engineering counsel,
to assist in preparing its case. And
at once the unions blew tremendous
hole in the employers case. Card
room workers were not included in
those affected by the code as offered
by the employers. Demanding that
all workers be included in the pro-
visions, the union brought Gen. John
son into action with a sharpness he
had not until then shown. He bluntly
told the mill owners he could see no
reason for omitting any workers
engaged in the process of manufac-
ture and beyond doubt carders will
get the benefits of the code as finally
approved.

Child Labor to Vanish From
American Textile Mills

Both ask questions. Allen is almost
merciless at times as he checks wit
nesses. He eased up somewhat for a
Southern mill owner who told about
the beauties of mill villages. He came
down hard on President Mcmahon, of
the union, when he sought to explode
that picture unfairly, many thought.
1t leads to this: Here sits man who
has absolute power to say what shall
and what shall not get into the rec
ord Il must ask you not to go fur
ther in that direction" he will say.
Or, "Now | must warn you again, we
do not want argument" There is no
appeal. 1t does no good to kick. In
fact, there is NO WAY to kick. 1t
seems to picture the relentless power
and force that can be brought to bear
under this strange new law-the vigor
that the United States government
can use-and probably will use, if
necessary.
Of course Allen masks his thrusts
and blows with smile. He has that
knack-striking hard under a grin
Many witness has gone away, glad
to have had a sock on the jaw. This
same man will preside over other
hearings, with his square physique,
his smile, his penetration. But even
more penetrating is the cavalryman

it will not be easy to put anything
over this business.
In the Open So Far
The openness of the whole business
looks good Everyone stands up in
public and gives up his facts. A hun
dred newspaper men listen to every
word. Deception will be difficult.
Of course after it is all over, the
decision will be written behind closed
doors. Nothing can be predicted about
that, but when this cotton code comes
out, stamped o. K by Johnson anl
by Roosevelt, then the world will
know great deal about what Amer
lean industry is going to look like less
, than six months hence.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1933-07-07
Code Scope Widened


These seems good reason to believe
that the employers proposals as to
hours and wages will be modified.
President William Green moved in
to the picture, with a powerful attack
could see no reason for a work week
longer than 80 or 80 hours, and he
contended for a minimum wage of
at least $l8. Other labor men moved
into line to add to the force of the
attack.
But there is something more about
this hearing. 1t is the whole manner
of it's conduct. 1t is held in a great
auditorium. A thousand men and
women attend. Across the room, two
thirds of the way toward the front
a rope is stretched to divide wit
nesses from spectators. All who have
an interest in the case are rated as
witnesses On one side of this space
the ownerss are grouped.
On the great platform are those
who run the show" Gen. Johnson
and his deputy, with Counsel Donald
Richberg, are at the big table. Ad-
visory committees for industry, labor
and consumer occupy chairs in
groups.

PENDANTS. There is no cross examina-
tion. This is hearing and nothing
more. Witnesses are held to facts,
most of the time. To get arguments
into the record a witness must be
clever.
Deputy administrator conducts the
hearing, for the most part. Gen. John
son enters the case when he sees fit.

TAKE GOOD CARE
OF YOUR HANDBAG

Few women even begin to take the
good care of their bags that they
do Of their shoes and gloves.
First, and most important, don't
stuff your delicate new handbag full
to overlooking with letters, memos,
smokes, makeup and other things
that could be weeded down to a
very few essentials.
Second, empty out your bag, brush
1t inside and out with a clean
brush and 60 over it with a cloth
dipped in cleaning fluid, at least
once a week. Then f1atten it out,
as it was when it came. put a few
magazines or books on top of it to
make it stay fiat and leave it, at
least overnight.
OF course it helps if you have two
purses and alternate using them for
hard daily use.
